Chapter 23: The Remaining Warrior

  After finishing lunch, I returned to the classroom and saw Liang Ziqin dozing off on the desk. Still fuming from the humiliation in the cafeteria, I slammed a book onto the desk with force. Liang Ziqin was startled awake and glared at me furiously, saying: "Are you crazy? Are you done yet?"

  "Shh——" Xi Zi pouted and put her finger to her lips, whispering: "Don't disturb everyone's rest, people with quality." Liang Ziqin saw her cunning expression and knew she was seeking revenge for the incident in the cafeteria. His anger had completely disappeared, and he thought of getting up to study, but Xi Zi wouldn't let him have a peaceful night either. He picked up his book and headed towards the door, wanting to find a quiet place to review his lessons instead.

  "Liang Ziqin." The class teacher stood at the door of the classroom and stopped Liang Ziqin. "You didn't take a nap this noon, where are you going?"

  "I -" Liang Ziqin was startled by the sudden appearance of the teacher and said: "I want to go out and read for a while."

  "Can't you read in class?" The teacher glanced at Xīzi's position. Xīzi saw the teacher looking at her and quickly pretended to sleep on the desk. The teacher chuckled and asked Liángzǐqín with a questioning look. Liángzǐqín, although not fond of Xīzi, didn't want to be known as an informer either, so he looked down in embarrassment and remained silent.

  Li Meng suddenly spoke up and said: "Teacher Zhang, it's Xi Zi who is intentionally causing trouble, so Liang Ziqian can't study anymore."

  Xizi heard Li Meng say this and immediately stood up, slapping the table and saying: "Hey, Li Meng - do I have a grudge against you? Why are you talking about me like that?"

  "I clearly saw Liang Ziqin sleeping, but you deliberately took a book and tapped on the table to wake him up." Li Meng told the truth of what she had just seen to the class teacher, knowing that Xi Zi wouldn't dare do anything with the teacher present.

  Xizi threatened, pointing at Li Meng: "You try saying that again?"

  "What's going on here?" The class teacher glared at Xizi and said, "I'm still here, and you're already intimidating your classmates?"

  "No, I was just sweeping the floor." Xizi muttered, seeing her class teacher's cold face.

  The head teacher looked at Xi Zi and didn't dare to make a sound, glanced at Liang Zi Qian and said: "You, sit back." Xi Zi lowered his head thinking it was over, but saw the head teacher already standing beside him. "Xi Zi, is it because I haven't been punishing you lately that you have nothing better to do?" The head teacher picked up Xi Zi's language textbook from his desk. "Not many punishments, copy 'The Way to Get Educated' from the first unit ten times. Hand it in before school lets out."

  "What? I've already handed in my homework and it's not late, why do I need to be punished?" Xizi was indignant. Just because she had tapped the desk a few times, she was being forced to copy out the lesson text ten times.

  "Why?" The class teacher put her hands on Xizi's desk and looked at Xizi: "The homework you've been handing in these past few days is exactly the same as Qi Chuo from Class 165, can you tell me why?"

  Xizi suddenly looked nervous and blinked her eyes, saying: "The homework we left is all the same, if there's any similarity it's just a coincidence, a coincidence."

  The class teacher pushed the table hard, straightened her waist and said with her hands clasped in front of her chest: "Don't think I don't know anything. Your romance with Qi Xiao is already known to everyone."

  "That's not just my problem, is it? Why only talk about me?" Xi Zi said dejectedly, hanging her head and muttering.

  The head teacher said disdainfully, "Qi Si's grades are at least among the top ten in the grade. His head teacher has tolerated him. What reason do you want me to tolerate you? Xizi classmate——"

  As soon as Xi Zi mentioned grades, all complaints disappeared and she began to copy the lesson. Until the third self-study class, Xi Zi's copying time was not finished yet. Physical education teacher Liu saw that Xi Zi had not arrived and lost patience to find her in the classroom. "Xi Zi, how are you still here? Don't you know it's training time now?"

  "Teacher, I didn't want to either, but Zhang teacher made me copy the lesson and hand it in before school lets out. What could I do?"

  "What? Is that Golden Guard's mind abnormal or something, why does he always resort to violence?" Teacher Liu said while Xi Zi nodded in agreement. "This is exactly why we need to punish him with running laps!"

  "Hmph." Xizi still thought it made sense, but the second half of the sentence left her dazed.

  "Don't worry, I'll go find that leftover warrior theory." He spoke and left the classroom, coming to the teacher's office building. As soon as he entered the high school department door, he loudly complained: "Big leftover, what do you mean? We're in a critical period of training, and you punish my main player by making her copy. If she misses training, how can she perform well in the competition?"

  Xizi's homeroom teacher, Zhang Jiajia, is a 30-year-old leftover woman. Although she has a fiery and beautiful appearance like a flower, unfortunately, she doesn't have a boyfriend. Originally sensitive to the word "leftover", Teacher Liu actually said it out loud, causing Xizi's small universe to explode as she slammed her textbook onto the desk, saying: "What did you just call me? Say it again!"

  The math teacher slowly drank a mouthful of hot water and said, "You, Liu Shixun, can't even find an object to begin with, and now you're poking at someone's sore spot." As he spoke, he also winked at Teacher Liu, hinting that he shouldn't stimulate Zhang Jiajia.

  Zhang Jiajia heard what her math teacher said and got even angrier, saying: "Teacher Li, who's in a hurry? I just don't want to talk about romance."

  "Alright, you're not in a hurry, I'm the one who's in a hurry, okay?" Math teacher Li was Zhang Jiajia's homeroom teacher during high school. He still remembers how Zhang Jiajia had many boys chasing after her back then. At that time, he would often remind her not to let romance interfere with her studies. Now, it's the opposite - every day, he reminds her not to let work get in the way of her marriage.

  "Oh dear, I don't care who's in a hurry, but I'm in a hurry anyway." Teacher Liu interrupted Zhang Jiajia and Li Laoshi's conversation.

  "What's it to me whether you're in a hurry or not?" Zhang Jiajia sat on the chair, her head turned away from Liu Shixuan.

  Liu Shixun hastily said: "You can't find a partner, your endocrine system is out of balance? You can't take it out on students just because your endocrine system is out of balance!"

  "You saw me take out my frustration on the student, I don't want my students to be like you, except for having six-pack abs, not growing a brain." Zhang Jiajia and Liu Shixuan were deskmates in school, they didn't get along back then. Now that they're teaching at the same school, it's still like fire and ice.

  "Alright, consider me brainless, but Xi Zi needs training. How about you punish me with ten more times and I'll hand it in tomorrow?" Teacher Liu thought that good men don't fight with women, his main goal was to get more training time for Xi Zi.

  However, Zhang Jiajia had already been annoyed by him, and it wasn't that easy to talk. With a cold face, she said: "You don't need to haggle with me, she can't go today, and in the future, she's not allowed to go either."

  Liu Shixun felt she had overstepped her bounds and frowned, asking: "What makes you think you can do this?"

  Zhang Jiajia stood up with a strong and rational tone: "Just because she failed in all subjects."

  "What are you arguing about?" A loud reprimand made both of them calm down. The principal of the high school department happened to pass by and overheard their quarrel. With a displeased expression, he walked into the office and said: "You're all adults now, why are you still acting like students?"

  "Oh, it's nothing, nothing." Math teacher Li said, mediating: "It's all for the students' sake, just some differing opinions, and a discussion at most."
