Chapter 227 -198 You Are Different from Him
Xue Yuantong in the classroom hadn’t eaten yet, and Jiang Ning didn’t take the yellow braised chicken back with him.
He felt that this dish tasted better when eaten in the restaurant.
When he left the restaurant, he was met with two figures heading his way, one tall and one short. The tall one was Yan Tianpeng from class nine, and the shorter one, relatively speaking, was Shen Xu, who often came to their class eight to sell things.
Yan Tianpeng and Shen Xu recognized Jiang Ning; they merely knew that he was a handsome boy with good grades, surrounded by a few girls at his seat, which made people envious.
However, they had never spoken a word to each other.
Now, seeing each other, they simply looked at each other, still not speaking a word, not greeting each other, just walking past each other.
Jiang Ning went to a stall at the school gate and bought a pork bun and a portion of silver ear soup, pondering that these might not be enough for Xue Yuantong to eat.
Never mind her small size, she was exceptionally good at eating.
Therefore, he went to a fruit stand nearby and bought ten yuan’s worth of strawberries.
On his way back to school, the sky was dimming.
He used a spell to condense clean water, running it over the strawberries in the bag, giving them a rinse and cleaning them thoroughly.
In this way, he avoided the hassle of washing fruit in winter, and Xue Yuantong could eat them directly.
Upon returning to the class, Jiang Ning put the food on the desk and immediately received praise from Xue Yuantong, such as “I didn’t see you wrong” and “You truly are my deskmate.”
Jiang Ning didn’t pay much attention to her and just said, “The strawberries are washed, there’s a toothpick inside, you can eat them.”
…
Before evening self-study.
Dan Kaiquan and Guo Kunnan entered through the back door. The classroom of class eight usually kept two doors open, and since the back door was close to the staircase, even the students in the front liked to come in from the back.
As soon as Dan Kaiquan entered, he sat down in Hu Jun’s seat and said to Ma Shicheng and others,
“There’s a new restaurant at the school gate called Yellow Braised Chicken with Rice; the taste is simply too delicious!”
“Brother Ma, you guys should try it next time.”
Dan Kaiquan turned into a salesman, introducing it to several people.
“It’s just that the price is too expensive.”
Ma Shicheng asked, “How much?”
“One portion is 16 yuan, but I think it’s worth it,” Dan Kaiquan exclaimed sincerely.
“Don’t believe me? Ask Brother Nan, the chicken was cooked really delicious, right?”
Guo Kunnan also agreed; as a country kid trying it for the first time, it was indeed delicious.
“It’s too expensive. In the evening, I can spend ten yuan at the internet cafe, get a cup of instant noodles and a drink, which is almost the same price,” said Ma Shicheng, whose interest in going to eat wasn’t strong.
For him, it was okay for food and clothes to be of lower quality, but his intellectual life should never suffer.
The happiness games brought him was long-lasting and real; other things, no matter how good the food, were illusory.
Seeing Ma Shicheng uninterested, Dan Kaiquan launched a new topic with a chuckle:
“Guess who Brother Nan and I saw when we went out to eat? Yes, we saw Yan Tianpeng.”
He was totally amused, “Earlier in the afternoon, Yan Tianpeng came looking for Lu Qiqi, but after school, Lu Qiqi went to the ES restaurant with her boyfriend. What does that tell you? It means Lu Qiqi didn’t give him the time of day.”
While speaking, Dan Kaiquan walked to the other side, facing the classroom windows, so that Yan Tianpeng wouldn’t catch him if he suddenly entered.
Wang Longlong said, “Lu Qiqi isn’t easy to chase, right?”
Usually, Lu Qiqi sat in front of them, and sometimes Wang Longlong could overhear her conversations, which he found very complicated.
Once, Lu Qiqi even turned around to ask him about cosmetics, and he, Wang Longlong, was dumbfounded; women were too troublesome!
Chatting with girls was not nearly as joyous as writing reports to the homeroom teacher.
However, Wang Longlong was surprised when Dan Xiao, hearing this, actually discussed lipstick shades with Lu Qiqi.
The two talked in perfect harmony, and later on, Lu Qiqi even began asking Dan Xiao for advice.

Wang Longlong never expected that Dan Xiao’s range of knowledge was so broad.
Thenceforth, Wang Longlong deeply understood the principle of never being too old to learn.
Dan Kaiquan boasted proudly, “That’s not how you pursue girls. You have to be nice to them. Look at Tianpeng; he doesn’t get it at all.”
“No offense, but the girl he’s pursuing, Lu Qiqi, is just average, not hard to get at all.”
“And I have a friend who’s pursuing a girl, and she’s truly hard to handle.”
He shared his methods and experiences in chasing girls with everyone.
Ma Shicheng glanced at him and thought that, if you broke it down, when it came to pursuing girls, Dan Kaiquan relied on pleasing them so much that he lost his own initiative.
But Yan Tianpeng wasn’t like that; in his pursuit, he had a strong personality and wasn’t just blindly trying to please.
Dan Kaiquan was bragging on one side, while at the door, Lu Qiqi and Jiang Yanan came in; he shut his mouth and started talking about other topics.
After a while, the burly Yan Tianpeng barged in, taking a few steps to Lu Qiqi and booming,
“Qiqi, don’t eat at the ES restaurant next time.”
“Seeing how thin you are, I’ll take you to the Yellow Braised Chicken place to build you up.”
Ma Shicheng: …
Lu Qiqi: “I have a boyfriend, could you please go away?”
While a few were chatting, at the front of the classroom, someone was pushed down at the podium.
Shen Xinli and a few students from class nine stood at the doorway, pointing and laughing at Liang Sheng, who was lying on the ground.
They laughed while their eyes swept over the girls in class eight.
Then, posing like victors, they tried to show off their charm, seeking to attract the pretty girls in class eight.
“Damn, here they come again, not taking us seriously. I want to take them on!” Dan Kaiquan said.
…
Evening self-study first period, math class.
“Fatso Gao Heshuai is here, stop messing around!” Cui Yu reminded.
Gao Heshuai said, “Tonight’s class, let’s review the content taught this afternoon.”
Then he sat directly on the stool, his eyes like two beefy eyeballs glaring at the students.
Due to his intimidating gaze, not a single student in the class dared to make eye contact with him.
The entire classroom was eerily quiet, and in this silence, Wu Xiaoqi slumped onto his desk and continued to sleep.
In this Fourth Middle School, there wasn’t anyone Wu Xiaoqi was afraid of, let alone Gao Heshuai; he had never taken him seriously.
Gao Heshuai had his eyes set on Wu Xiaoqi for a while, to be precise, on the entire class eight. The afternoon’s first period brought out some unexpected issues, leaving him particularly frustrated.
Gao Heshuai had never encountered such a class before. During lunch, he had deliberately thought about how to deal with this class, but before he could make a move, some minions had already provoked him.
Watching Wu Xiaoqi’s relaxed sleeping position, the evil fire inside Gao Heshuai’s heart soared, “Whoosh!” He didn’t care what background this kid had; if you come to study at Fourth Middle School, you must squat down and behave!
Gao Heshuai was a highly-paid, externally hired teacher at Fourth Middle School, with a very strong ability, and if things were not going well, he could switch to another school at any time.
Moreover, although he looked to be in his forties, he was actually not even thirty yet.
Aren’t young people supposed to be full of vigor?
“Stand up for me!” Gao Heshuai suddenly burst out in a fury, his voice extremely loud.
Jiang Ning saw that Chen Siqing, the twin sister sitting in the front row, trembled slightly, while Xue Yuantong had no reaction whatsoever.
Because Jiang Ning cast the spell even faster, instantly releasing the soundproofing technique.
Gao Heshuai’s face was like an angry lion!
Wu Xiaoqi mumbled, “Teacher, what’s the matter?”
“Go stand at the back!” Gao Heshuai pointed at him.
Wu Xiaoqi quickly picked up the basketball and arrogantly commanded Pang Jiao:
“You, move.”
Pang Jiao resisted internally; she looked at Gao Heshuai and recounted the lipstick the teacher had compensated her with that afternoon. Reluctantly, she twisted her body and moved to the aisle.
Wu Xiaoqi felt relieved, as if he had drunk ice-cola on a dog day, who knows how much he had suffered at the hands of Pang Jiao, every time he went out, he was oppressed and humiliated by her.
Now, to be able to order Pang Jiao around so freely, it truly was a delight.
Thanks to the math teacher, Gao Heshuai!
Wu Xiaoqi swaggered to the back row and stood firm against the blackboard. He not only didn’t think standing as punishment was a punishment but rather considered it a pleasure.
Gao Heshuai stared at Wu Xiaoqi and spoke:
“If you dare, then stand there for me…”
Then he remembered that this kid had indeed stood and fallen asleep that afternoon and swallowed his words back.
“If you dare, stand at the back for every class!”
After this statement, the classroom fell silent once again.
Xue Yuantong was sleepy; she rested on her arms to sleep.
Dan Kaiquan from the other side of the river bank saw this and was frightened. Was she really that bold?
Still daring to sleep, wasn’t she afraid of Gao Heshuai?
At this time, to still provoke him!
Dan Kaiquan indicated to Jiang Ning with his eyes, attempting to have him wake Xue Yuantong.
Although Dan Kaiquan was a fun-loving person and liked to see his good brothers unlucky, on some matters, he understood; if Xue Yuantong disturbed Gao Heshuai, it would surely be more than just bad luck.
However, Jiang Ning didn’t wake Xue Yuantong at all.
Dan Kaiquan kept an eye on Gao Heshuai on the podium, sure enough, he turned his bullish eyes this way.
Many students in the class missed a beat in their hearts.
There’s trouble!
Initially, Gao Heshuai was extremely angry, and there were still people daring to sleep in front of him.
Were these students so bold?
Not taking him seriously?
He initially wanted to burst out in rage, but then he saw the sleeping girl, who seemed to be Xue Yuantong.
To make sure it was Xue Yuantong, he deliberately compared the seating chart on the desk, and indeed it was her.
Before he had transferred to class eight, the class’s head teacher, Shan Qingrong, had repeatedly warned him.
You can discipline anyone, but never Xue Yuantong; she is the seed for vying for the top examination score, and a student listed in the principal’s records.
As long as she doesn’t affect other students, she can do whatever she wants in the classroom.
Remembering Shan Qingrong’s instruction, Gao Heshuai withdrew his angry thoughts. The city’s number one, he had heard of it, such a student indeed should have privileges.
He, Gao Heshuai, had no objections.
Thus, the students in the class witnessed Gao Heshuai retract his deathly stare.
The atmosphere in the class solidified, then started flowing again.
Cui Yu sneered internally: ‘I see you’re not much after all!’
Originally, because of the rumors of Gao Heshuai at Fourth Middle School, he had felt fear, but now, after what happened with Wu Xiaoqi and Xue Yuantong,
Cui Yu thought he was overrated.
Gao Heshuai kept watching everyone, and the classroom remained quiet, the timid students didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
The entire class was extremely oppressive, like defeated soldiers fleeing from battle, a picture of gloom.
Be it so-called dignity or fear, it ultimately couldn’t escape the passage of time, the first period of evening self-study ended, and when Gao Heshuai left, the liveliness of class eight returned.
Xue Yuantong woke up ten minutes before the end of the class.
