Chapter 268 People’s hearts are too cold, I dare not touch them.

Li Lanying sat on a high stool at the bar-style kitchen, drinking wine, her feet arched and swaying.

“I also have a job, I just came back to rest for a while.”

“You were suspended because of sexual harassment?” Li Qingrong’s tone was flat, each sentence precisely hitting her sister’s main artery.

“Of course not, I am an elegant woman.” Li Lanying took a sip of wine and couldn’t help but add, “If it were before, I really wouldn’t dare to come back.”

Li Qingrong turned to glance at her, and the scene immediately fell silent.

After a long while.

Li Lanying broke the silence again, asking with a smile.

“You’re waiting for someone’s message, aren’t you?”

“No.”

“Oh~, is that so.” Li Lanying grinned.

Li Qingrong returned to her room. She sat in front of the computer playing a simulation game about building a camp. The graphics were excellent and the effects realistic.

If her classmates knew that the class monitor also played games, who knows how many jaws would drop.

Similar to Minecraft, you start with an axe.

After playing for a while, the in-game time had turned to night. The camp was lit by a bonfire, with cooing sounds all around, and darkness and forest ahead.

Li Qingrong stared at the bonfire on the screen, a little lost in thought.

Ding-dong.

A WeChat notification sound came from her phone. She turned to look at the phone lying quietly on the table. After waiting for a few seconds, she reached out to light up the screen.

Li Lanying: “Come out and play with me. (Seductive)”

Seeing this, Li Qingrong lowered her eyes and looked for a few seconds. Her finger slid a few times on the screen, dragging Li Lanying into the blacklist, and then directly deleting her.

A marmot’s scream came from outside the door, but she didn’t care.

She just opened WeChat several times, not knowing what she wanted to see.

Jiang Nian woke up again at five in the afternoon, completely sprawled like a puddle of mud.

The healing skill could replace one sleep, forcibly cooling down one instance of fatigue. But it couldn’t give the refreshing feeling of waking up, so if he had nothing to do, he still slept.

Anyway, living was for pleasure, because others lived that way too.

Since it was Sunday, there was no dinner service at five.

Jiang Nian weighed the pros and cons, and finally went out for a meal, wiped his mouth, and rushed to the classroom.

He hadn’t done any homework and was waiting to copy it.

On the way, he replied to Zhang Ningzhi and Chen Yunyun’s messages, giving a unified response.

“Slept all afternoon.”

He went up to the fourth floor, arrived at the classroom, and saw that it was five fifty.

It was only twenty minutes until evening self-study, and more than half of the class had already arrived.

Under the bright lights, it was as noisy as a wet market.

Two boys entered from the back door of the classroom, subconsciously pausing for a moment.

“Wocao, Li Hua, what did you guys go do?”

It was well known that the back row of the classroom had always been the brothers’ lair for their activities.

The aluba spot was wide enough and could accommodate three to four people for gatherings.

Sometimes, boys loved to chat more than girls.

Besides Jenga, even over a boring sentence, they could spend ages pushing responsibility back and forth with “your wife, your wife,” turning into repeaters.

Not to mention, Li Hua, the social butterfly, was in the back row.

“Nothing, just went to the internet cafe to study for a bit.” Li Hua got up from the desk, yawned, “Watched online classes for four hours, so tired.”

“BYD, you really dare to say that?” Another boy couldn’t hold back, “You went to the internet cafe to watch online classes? Are you trying to fool ghosts here?”

“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you, I really was studying at the internet cafe.” Li Hua routinely parried, starting to chat idly with the two boys, accompanied by bursts of laughter from time to time.

Boys liked people who were serious about their bluffs anytime, anywhere; their abstract acting was so realistic.

As they chatted, time just slipped away.

Zhang Ningzhi wore a windbreaker; the temperature began to drop as night fell.

She sat by the back door, writing her homework. Occasionally, she would turn to glance at Jiang Nian, who was copying her homework next to her, and for no particular reason, she suddenly said,

“I’m going to report you for copying homework.”

Jiang Nian was stunned at her words.

“I’m copying your homework, why would you report me?”

“Oh.” Zhang Ningzhi also felt that this trick was useless and was frustrated.

Unexpectedly, a hand reached over from next door.

“Let me have a sip.”

Zhang Ningzhi hadn’t gotten the upper hand just now, and didn’t really want to give it, so she directly refused.

“No.”

“Then I’ll take your homework and turn myself in, becoming a tainted witness.” Jiang Nian had a look of having the other party cornered, and his hand reached forward a bit further.

“Give it here, you don’t want to be reported, do you?”

Hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi was momentarily bewildered, then immediately exploded with Qi.

“You!! Do you have any conscience?!”

Having a conscience can lead to sweet love, but having no conscience leads to even more!

Referring to the drink.

In the end, Zhang Ningzhi still succumbed to someone’s tyranny. Faced with the bottomless depravity of the ‘reporter dog,’ she could only obediently offer up the drink.

“Hmph! Drink yourself to death!”

Jiang Nian was delighted, sucking vigorously through the straw.

“It’s Chinese New Year!”

Hearing this, Zhang Ningzhi’s cheeks puffed out, fuming at the ‘bottom-tier man.’ After writing homework on her desk for a while, she couldn’t help but ask again,

“Are we having a weekly test tonight?”

“Probably.”

Ring ring ring, evening self-study began.

Tao Ran went to the podium, the furry-loving class representative radiating righteousness.

“Boarders, pay attention, hand in your phones.”

It was time for the routine phone collection again. Tao Ran carried a bag. He started from the first group, collecting from each boarder one by one.

When he got to Li Hua’s group, only Wu Jun Gu gave him a smartphone, but it was still a backup phone.

“Where’s Huang Fang?”

“Didn’t bring it.”

“Zeng You? You can’t possibly not have brought it, can you?”

“I brought it, wait for me to find it.” Zeng You pulled out a broken old-fashioned phone from his drawer, tied it with a rubber band, and threw it to Tao Ran.

In the aisle, Tao Ran’s eyelid twitched.

“You’re…”

But he didn’t take it too seriously; as long as it was handed in, it was fine.

After collecting a round, he found that the phone Lin Dong handed in was also quite absurd. The buttons on the candy bar phone were all broken, yet he swore it could turn on.

Tao Ran originally didn’t want to verify, but Lin Dong insisted on proving his innocence, and the result was that the whole class enjoyed the ink wash boot-up sound of Tianyi 3G.

“That’s all, right? Is there anyone else who hasn’t handed in?”

Wu Jun Gu watched Tao Ran leave with the bag of phones, then turned to look at Zeng You, his deskmate by the wall.

“We’re having a weekly test soon, are you still looking at that?”

Hearing this, Zeng You looked up, fearless.

“What’s there to be afraid of? This is the second to last row, very safe.”

“Then what about the weekly test later?”

“I sit by the window, I’ll look at it in the drawer, also super safe.” Zeng You tossed his hair and continued to bury himself in his studies.

Old Liu stood quietly at the classroom door, trying to conceal himself.

He had been idle in the office just now and looked at the phones that had been handed in. He only saw a pile of shoddy phones and was furious.

Were these people just fooling him like this?

Playing with phones in the third year of high school would only harm themselves, and they were still playing these schemes!

He was enraged and determined to crack down on this unhealthy tendency.

Old Liu’s plan was simple: the class was still in self-study. The Chinese weekly test wouldn’t start that quickly, and the class was extremely relaxed at the moment.

Suddenly turn off the lights, and arrest everyone with light on their faces!

He silently counted to three: three, two, one!

Click!

The classroom plunged into darkness, and the class immediately let out an “Oh.” Like timely rain after a long drought, they all thought it was a power outage and cheered together.

The next second, the lights came back on.

The class saw Old Liu standing grim-faced by the door, his expression extremely ugly.

“Yang Qiming! Yao Beibei! Dong Wensong! Zeng You!!”

“Hand over your phones!!”

As his voice fell, the class instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Those whose names were called turned pale, their bodies frozen as if by a petrifying spell.

Old Liu walked over to each of them, almost effortlessly. The three all handed over their phones with bitter expressions, only Zeng You remained calm and composed.

“Take it out!”

Zeng You looked up and said,

“Teacher, I’ve already handed in my phone.”

Old Liu couldn’t hold back. He had the people in the back row turn off the lights and looked at the fluorescent light on Zeng You’s face, saying,

“Still trying to argue? Your light is the brightest!”

He pulled away the book Zeng You used to block the view, revealing what was underneath: a toy mini flashlight.

Zeng You looked up, gazing calmly at Old Liu.

“Teacher, is it illegal to play with a flashlight during evening self-study?”
