Chapter Seventeen: The Hot Potato

  The next day, early in the morning, Cheng A went to the classroom as usual. To his surprise, there were already a few people standing on the balcony at the entrance of the classroom.

  Uh... the school flower and top student are also here, even Liu Na, who is used to being late, arrived so early today. Could it be that everyone was really stimulated by Glasses Brother's words last night? He felt a bit puzzled.

  Early in the Qing dynasty, I didn't enter the classroom and stood on the balcony to blow the wind. It seems that only a genius can do it with the opposing side of this cold winter month.

  Thinking of the opposite side of genius, he looked at the crowd with a smile that was not quite a smile, and the crowd also noticed his strange expression.

  "Hmph, getting sick so early in the morning!" The school beauty, Pu Fang, gave him a white eye standing beside her.

  "This woman must have reached menopause," he thought to himself with a hint of resentment.

  "Why don't you go in?" He looked at Ye Zhen who was nearest to him and asked.

  "Not open yet!" Ye Zhen rubbed her hands together, looking helpless.

  "No wonder!" He scratched his head.

  "Idiot!" It's Pu Fang again...

  "...". A looked at Pu Fang with a painful expression, the top student covered her mouth as if afraid of cold wind blowing in, but he looked like he was secretly smiling.

  "Never mind, a man should not quarrel with a woman." He said magnanimously.

  "It's still a big man...... Not as tall as me, big man... Hmph!" Pu Fang's words struck him mercilessly.

  "Xiao Fang." The school flower also felt that Pu Fang was becoming more and more excessive, speaking out to stop her.

  "If I didn't think what you said was true, I would definitely compete with you and win, but now I can only secretly despise you in my heart."

  "Come on, help me figure out the meaning of this word. I thought about it all night and still couldn't get it!" The top student was holding her language textbook, asking him for an explanation. In fact, anyone could see that she was trying to bail out Cheng A from his embarrassment. Otherwise, why would someone who is usually the first in class and ninth in grade ask him, a fourth in class and 30th in grade "water goods", for help?

  "Sorry! I forgot to give you the key last night." He was thinking of how to decline the excellent girl's "kindness", when Glasses Brother's voice came slowly.

  Everyone fell silent for a moment. You're the class teacher, you're late. How can we still expect you to scold us loudly like that?

  The classroom door opened and everyone poured in.

  "Wait a minute." Just as Cheng A was about to follow everyone into the classroom, Glasses' voice rang out.

  "What's up?!" He was on guard, every time Glasses called him it was never good.

  "What's with your tone? I'm your class teacher!" Glasses Brother said with a dissatisfied expression.

  "...Sorry, I was wrong, teaccher..." He deliberately dragged out the word "teacher".

  "It's nothing much, here you go." Glasses Brother said and didn't care whether he agreed or not, shoving the classroom key into his hand.

  "Can't we just not? He looked at Glasses with a wronged expression."

  "You take care of it, I'm going to have breakfast. If I haven't eaten yet, I'll come and open the door." Glasses brother didn't care whether he was willing or not, and walked away with a pat on his butt.

  "You all know that I have to come and open the door without eating breakfast, so from now on, don't I also have to come and open the door every day without eating breakfast? Is this how you set an example for others?" Glasses Brother swung his sleeves and walked away with a carefree attitude, leaving me standing there muttering to myself.

  "Can you guys come later next time?!" He asked with a painful expression, looking at the crowd in the classroom who were about to start studying.

  "Pfft!" The excellent student had a good laugh.

  "Xiao Yi, I'll be here at 5:30 tomorrow morning!" Pu Fang said to the school flower who was smiling wryly while looking at Cheng A.

  "Oh, then I'll come at 5:30 too." The school flower joked.

  "Sages have said it before, that women and petty men are hard to raise, our ancestors were truthful and did not deceive."

  "Teacher He gave you the key, that's trusting you, you can't let him down!" Liu Na chimed in from the side.

  "Otherwise I'll give it to you, I also trust you very much, and I believe you won't disappoint my trust." He looked at Liu Na with a sincere face.

  "I don't want to, I want to sleep in, if it wasn't for them calling me, I wouldn't have come so early." Liu Na glanced at the school flower and Pu Fang, then lazily said to Cheng A.

  "Or should I just give it to you?" A had no choice but to shift his target.

  The lovely school flower shook her head...

  He looked at the excellent girl again

  Excellent girl shakes her head...

  Ye Zhen shook her head...

  It has really become a hot potato now...

  "Handsome guy, you're blocking the door." Just as he was hesitating about where to go with this key, a pleasant female voice sounded from behind him.

  "Uh... Lin Sijun!" This seems to be the first time I've had a conversation with her in my memory.

  "Really? Don't you know?"

  He hastily shook his head, and suddenly the crime of being a talented woman became even greater...

  Was about to give way, but saw the keys in hand...

  "Are you thinking of giving it to me?" A talented woman is indeed a talented woman, she just rolled her eyes and hadn't even thought of the lines yet, but the other party had already seen through her.

  "Uh..." His thoughts were exposed, he quickly shook his head, but thinking of the "disaster" this key would bring, he quickly nodded again.

  "No way!"

  She cut him off abruptly, giving him no chance to continue, and squeezed past him into the classroom.

  Until all the children's shoes were in place, Cheng A still hadn't found the next owner for this key.

  Before waiting for the master who received this key, I waited for the sound of Glasses Brother's Golden Shield Shoes.

  The glasses guy made a round of inspection in the classroom as usual, ready to leave, but seemed to have thought of something again, turned his head and looked at everyone who was reading books seriously.

  "Afterwards, everyone can come to the classroom early to study. The dormitory doesn't have air conditioning after all, it's easy to catch a chill, and reading in bed hurts your eyes." Glasses Brother rarely showed concern, and it really moved everyone!

  "Everyone doesn't have to worry about coming early and finding the classroom door locked, because just now, our classmate A took the initiative to take on the responsibility of opening and locking the classroom door. This is something worth encouraging, so in the future if you find the classroom door locked, you can just look for him.

  After hearing Glasses Brother's first half sentence, Classmate A thought that Glasses Brother was still quite good at being a role model, strict when he needed to be and caring when he needed to be. But the second half of the sentence completely made him throw this view out the window."

  What's with the pretence? It was clearly you who forced me, okay?! He silently screamed in his heart!

  "I believe Cheng A won't disappoint everyone's expectations of him, right?" Glasses Brother looked at me with a sincere gaze that couldn't be any more sincere.

  "Ah! I will definitely live up to expectations!" said through gritted teeth.

  "Alright, everyone continue learning," said Glasses Brother as he patted his butt and walked away.

  And A Cheng paid with countless sleepless nights, countless shattered dreams, and countless... for just a few words he had said.
