Extra 4 (2)
"Are you... the transfer student?" Hua Tingxuan asked.
He had heard a long time ago that a pretty boy had transferred to Class 3. Those servile friends in the class even secretly took photos of Chu Danfeng and sent them to him, teasing him, "Brother Hua, your status as the school hunk is no longer secure."
Chu Danfeng said: "...Brother, please put me down first."
When Chu Danfeng regained his balance, he said embarrassedly: "Thank you for just now... I am indeed a new transfer, how do you know me?"
Hua Tingxuan: "I'm also in Class 3."
Chu Danfeng blinked and looked over carefully, and found that the boy in front of him was very tall, with the thin body typical of teenagers. But from the fact that he was able to hold him steadily just now, he was quite strong. His facial features were clearly defined, especially his high nose bridge, which made him very handsome in a manly way.
Chu Danfeng suddenly realized: "I know you!"
Hua Tingxuan showed a look of disdain and complacency. After all, he was famous throughout the school. Everyone spread the word and was happy to demonize "celebrities". No one knew what kind of image this little boy had imagined himself to be that he was so excited.
Then Chu Danfeng lowered his voice and said, "You are the classmate who took sick leave."
Hua Tingxuan: “???”
Chu Danfeng said knowingly, "It's alright. I've heard about your deeds a long time ago. They said you pretended to be sick every other day just to skip classes. Oh, I understand. If you can get a sick note, who would be willing to go to class?"
Hua Tingxuan: “…”
… Did this silly kid think he was the same as Huang Changtian, that idiot
Chu Danfeng asked again: "Since you are on sick leave, why do you still want to go back to school?"
Hua Tingxuan asked back: "Why did you come out again?"
Chu Danfeng sighed: "For study."
Hua Tingxuan: “…” He didn’t expect that this handsome brother was so good at pretending. He was speechless for a moment.
At this moment, several boys came running over from far away, shouting incoherently, "Run, run, the school bully is chasing us!"
But a few meters away, they all stopped again, with expressions as if they had seen a ghost, and then turned around and ran in the opposite direction.
Chu Danfeng: “?”
Chu Danfeng was also a little nervous, and then an idea came to his mind: "You..."
Hua Tingxuan thought he finally reacted, so he raised his lips slightly and looked at him encouragingly.
Then I heard Chu Danfeng say: "You were chased here by the school bully." No wonder he went to school even with a sick leave note in hand. He must have been bullied badly.
Hua Tingxuan was speechless and said, "You are really quick-witted."
Chu Danfeng said modestly: "No, no."
According to Hua Da Lao's usual temper, he definitely doesn't want to waste time talking to others, but for some reason, he likes this pretty boy and thinks he is very interesting, so he can't help but tease him: "I'm so scared, where are you going to 'study' later? Can you take me with you so I can hide with you?"
Chu Danfeng was a little hesitant. According to his personality, he didn't like to cause trouble. Although the school bully loved fighting, the guy who skipped classes every day due to sick leave and dared to fight with the school bully should not be an easy person to deal with.
However, the tall boy in front of him was pleasing to the eye. Finally, Chu Danfeng gritted his teeth and made an exception. He said in a fearless tone: "Okay! I'll take you to a place that is absolutely safe, but don't tell anyone else about this!"
If this gets out and reaches the ears of the school bully, wouldn't he also be the one to suffer the consequences
To Hua Tingxuan, these words had a different meaning: take you to a safe and exciting place.
Hua Tingxuan couldn't help but be a little curious. Where else could a boy of this age go except the Internet cafe? Could it be that he just looked honest, but actually played more wildly than himself
Ten minutes later, Hua Tingxuan sat in the corner of the last row of the cram school with an expressionless face, cursing in his heart, that stupid kid went out for the sake of studying.
… It really opened his eyes.
Hua Da Lao was in a very complicated mood, but he did not leave. He looked at the little boy next to him who was listening to the class with a sad face, and when the boy could not answer the questions asked by the cram school teacher, Hua Da Lao silently pointed out the correct answer. He received praise from classmate Chu, who called him awesome and gave him undisguised starry eyes.
Two days later, Hua, who liked to take sick leave, finally came back. But he did not sit back in the last row. Instead, he walked to Chu Danfeng and politely asked his deskmate Li Ban, "Can we change seats?"
"Of course!"
The next second, Li Ban evacuated quickly with his schoolbag in his arms. His speed was so fast that it was breathtaking.
The whole class was looking at them eagerly, and a buzz of discussion arose.
The students who were farther away took advantage of the fact that they couldn't hear and were a little bolder, whispering: "Does the boss dislike Chu Danfeng? Have they not met yet?"
"Could it be that they started a fuss and said that the boss's position as the school idol was in jeopardy, which made him angry at Dan Feng?"
"That shouldn't be the case. The boss never cares about the title of school idol."
"But didn't the boss beat someone up the last time he changed seats? He even beat him up so much that he dropped out of school."
"That scumbag bullied girls, he deserves to be expelled from school! The boss is just standing up for justice!"
"Anyway, the new guy must have offended him, otherwise why would he change seats for no reason?"
"Student Xiao Chu is so pitiful."
When everyone thought that Mr. Hua was going to kill people, Hua Tingxuan sat down obediently and gave Chu Danfeng a very innocent smile: "We will be desk mates from now on, please take care of me."
Chu Danfeng didn't know how to respond, so he smiled at him and said, "In the future... please take care of me?"
The bell rang for class. This period was the class of the homeroom teacher, Mr. Meng. Mr. Meng's eyes fell on Hua Tingxuan who suddenly appeared. He did not scold him for changing seats without permission. He just looked at Chu Danfeng with some concern, but in the end he did not say anything. He took out the book and started teaching.
One class passed, two classes passed, and a whole day passed. The students in Class 3 did not wait for the big boss to beat someone up. Instead, they watched the big boss skip the evening self-study and leave the class with Chu Danfeng in a dignified manner.
The whole class was in an uproar.
"Who is Chu Danfeng? Is he richer and more powerful than our boss Hua?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Given the school bully's personality, he can't be defeated by force. That can't be the reason."
"Are they friends? Did they know each other before?"
"Brother Hua has always been a loner, how could he have friends???"
Only Lin Shu, the most beautiful girl in the class, showed a very deep and foolish smile. She held her small schoolbag and said with a grin, "This is so delicious!"
…
Chu Danfeng didn't know what other people in the class were talking about. He just felt that the atmosphere in this new class was really good. There was no dispute even over things like changing seats. Everyone was easy to talk to. Of course, this was also inseparable from the politeness and courtesy of his new deskmate.
Hua Tingxuan also signed up for the remedial class. He attended classes and remedial lessons quietly every day and was inseparable from his deskmate. He left a good impression on Chu Danfeng: diligent, smart, and polite.
He also has a very good personality and is as obedient as a little lamb. The more he gets along with Hua Tingxuan, the more Chu Danfeng finds it difficult to associate him with a "school bully" - a school bully is naturally a social guy with poor grades and a bad temper, who is completely different from his obedient deskmate.
Thinking that such a good little sheep had been bullied by the school bully, Chu Danfeng was glad that he had "helped the weak when he saw injustice" back then. He felt pity for this poor little boy who had been bullied and often took the initiative to give him care and warmth.
Compared to Chu Danfeng's care, the change in Hua Da Lao is even more jaw-dropping. This problem student who could skip classes five days a week has recently shown up to punch in every day, and it was not a whim. He has persisted in doing so for half a semester, and has even gradually stopped being late. He seems to have become a different person in the way he treats people - as long as he is in front of his deskmate, he is so polite that no one can find fault with him.
But if Chu Danfeng wasn't there... If Chu Danfeng wasn't there, Hua Tingxuan would no longer provoke others, but would quietly sleep on the table, as if he was not interested in anything except his deskmate and was too lazy to waste his energy.
Over time, the heroic deeds of the "school bully" gradually became a legend buried in memory.
This change is undoubtedly worth celebrating in the eyes of teachers and parents. The head teacher, Lao Meng, is a representative. Whenever he sees Chu Danfeng, he praises him so much that Chu Danfeng feels embarrassed. Lao Meng even attended the parent-teacher meeting after the midterm exam. In front of Chu's mother, he praised Chu Danfeng for uniting classmates, being diligent and motivated, and playing a good leading role.
You know, Chu Danfeng has been a loser since he was a child. Although he rarely made mistakes, his grades were average and his sports were mediocre. Apart from his face, he had no outstanding advantages. He was always treated as a transparent person by the class teachers. Like all parents, Chu's mother also had a dream of seeing her son become successful. She envied those parents of good students who were praised by teachers at parent-teacher meetings, but unfortunately she never got her wish.
Now she actually got to fulfill her addiction to being the "parent of an excellent student". It would be a lie to say she was unhappy.
The parent sitting at the same table with her also praised her son highly. It was Hua Tingxuan's father who came to the parent-teacher meeting. Chairman Hua looked like a successful man with a high net worth, but he was very polite to Mother Chu, without any arrogance of a rich man. He kept expressing his admiration for educating a good son. During the whole parent-teacher meeting, everyone had a good time and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Each class in Yucai High School has two classrooms. Classroom A is used for regular classes, and Classroom B is used for multimedia teaching. Parents hold meetings in Classroom B, and students still study in Classroom A.
The class monitor Ye Bailu sat on the podium to maintain discipline, but the parents were right next door and no one dared to act rashly. Everyone was reading their books obediently, and Ye Bailu seemed to be doing a set of papers.
Only Hua Tingxuan was lazily lying on the table, with his head tilted, watching his deskmate reading.
"You have been looking at this page for a whole class." Hua Tingxuan reminded.
Chu Danfeng took a deep breath, glanced at Ye Bailu on the podium, and whispered: "... I'm so... nervous."
Hua Tingxuan: "What are you nervous about?"
Chu Danfeng: "They are having a parents' meeting! How scary."
Hua Tingxuan: "Are you afraid of being scolded when you get home?"
Chu Danfeng lowered his head cowardly: "If I don't do well in the exam, being scolded is the least of my worries. I will also be beaten."
Hua Tingxuan raised his head and asked with a burning gaze: "You are already this old, and you are still being beaten? Where did you get beaten? Your buttocks?"
Chu Danfeng: “…”
Chu Danfeng said, "Don't tease me. You ranked in the top ten in your grade this time... Hey, you didn't study hard. Is this the gap in IQ? The gap between people is really huge. My mom still expects me to get into a 211 university. It's really too difficult."
After saying that, Chu Danfeng stopped pretending to read and lay listlessly on the table, revealing a dejected and hopeless look.
Hua Tingxuan found it very interesting. He turned sideways and held up his chin to look at the back of his deskmate's head. The boy's head was very round, and his short hair looked fluffy, like a small animal with its fur standing on end.
Hua Tingxuan was really itching to touch it, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke it.
"If you really can't get into a 211 university, then go abroad."
Chu Danfeng stood up, shook his head, and stared at her with his dark peach blossom eyes: "You can't touch a man's head casually."
Hua Tingxuan's heart skipped a beat because of that look, and his throat felt a little dry, but soon, he pretended to be innocent and cute and touched her again: "I'm touching it!"
He also pinched her face.
Chu Danfeng: “…”
Forget it, I won’t bother with this childish guy!
Chu Danfeng was immersed in his anxiety about the parents' meeting again when he heard Hua Tingxuan say quietly, "If you can't get into 211 or 985, then go to study at an Ivy League school abroad. It's actually easier." His father's generation has alumni as recommenders. If he wants to bring Chu Danfeng along, all he has to do is donate a few more buildings.
Chu Danfeng didn't know what he was planning, and said sadly: "You are just like 'Why don't you eat meat', understand? Don't you academic masters have any heart?"
Hua Tingxuan was amused by him and took the opportunity to pinch Chu Danfeng's face several times.
My deskmate's face is really nice to pinch, so tender and smooth. It would be better if she was a little fatter.
Just at this moment, Teacher Meng came over and told everyone to pack their bags and go next door. After giving a final summary, everyone could go home with their parents.
Chu Danfeng, feeling nervous, threw his schoolbag over his shoulder and followed slowly behind. Hua Tingxuan was even slower than him. He followed behind and looked at him thoughtfully. He felt that although his deskmate was thin, he still had plenty of plumpness and was very curvy.
While no one was paying attention, he hooked his deskmate's shoulder and patted him: "It's okay, relax."
Chu Danfeng was a little touched: "Yeah." Although his test scores were average, Lao Meng had been praising him recently, so his mother shouldn't be too angry.
Then Hua Tingxuan continued, "I've observed that you should be able to withstand beatings and not be afraid."
Chu Danfeng: “…?”
After entering the classroom, Chu Danfeng realized that his worries were completely unnecessary. Mother Chu smiled brightly and waved at him: "Come here, Xiaofeng. Mom is here."
This didn't look like a prelude to a beating! Chu Danfeng immediately felt relieved and ran over briskly.
Mother Chu whispered, "Your class teacher said that the test questions were more difficult this time, and the scores were generally not high. Although your grades have declined, you have improved according to the normal distribution. In addition, the teacher praised you for uniting classmates and being helpful... Now we all emphasize quality education and comprehensive considerations, right? Your teacher's educational philosophy is really good, and it is worth it for your mother to choose Yucai after careful selection."
It was the first time that Chu Danfeng was praised at a parents' meeting. Just when he felt relieved, he heard his mother say, "Oh, by the way, you may not know this, but this is your school's principal and the father of your deskmate. Come, call Uncle Hua."
Chu Danfeng: “…???”
What the hell???!!!
Shouldn’t the school director be Huang Changtian’s father? If this Uncle Hua is the school director, then shouldn’t the school bully be… ??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Hua·School Bully·Tingxuan showed a well-behaved and shy smile to Chu's mother and greeted her politely: "Hello, Auntie."
Mother Chu smiled more lovingly: "Good boy, I heard that you were in the top ten in your grade? Oh, your family is so well-off, and you still know how to work hard. You are so sensible, which is really rare. You have a good relationship with Xiao Feng, so please take care of his studies."
Hua Tingxuan smiled like a big-tailed wolf meeting his mother-in-law, and said quietly: "Don't worry, Auntie, we have the best relationship, and it is my duty to take care of him. In fact, Xiaofeng is very smart. We often use our spare time to practice together. It's a pity that the self-study time is too short to discuss problems."
"I heard from Xiao Feng that you and your uncle are very busy at work. In order to supplement his nutrition, you have to come back to cook at night. It's too hard. If you are at ease, you can let Xiao Feng come to my house occasionally. My aunt makes good nutritious meals. We can study and eat together."
Mother Chu: "I'm so sorry..."
Chairman Hua also chimed in: "It's just an extra pair of chopsticks, you're welcome." Ever since Chu Danfeng and his son sat at the same table, the boy seemed to have changed. He no longer caused trouble, and finally settled down to study hard, and even his grades improved. He was happy to let the two children interact more.
So, after the class teacher Lao Meng made his closing statement, Chu Danfeng was dragged away by Hua Tingxuan in his Cayenne and abducted in broad daylight.
Apart from the driver, there were only two of them in the car - after Chairman Hua finished the parent-teacher meeting, he took another Maybach to go to a dinner party.
Chu Danfeng huddled in the leather seat, holding his small schoolbag. He was no longer as talkative as before and looked like a little mute.
"What? Are you afraid of me?" Hua Tingxuan asked.
Chu Danfeng: “…”
Hua·School Bully·Tingxuan skillfully pretended to be wronged: "Sure enough, after knowing the truth, you will avoid me. You would rather believe those gossiping classmates than your dear deskmate qaq."
"I just have a better family background, but it's not my fault that I have money. I can't do anything about it qaq."
"I didn't have any friends until you showed up... but you..."
This trick worked every time on his deskmate. As expected, Chu Danfeng softened his attitude: "... That's not what I meant. Of course I believe you. I have eyes and I can see for myself what kind of person you are."
Hua Tingxuan went over and said, "Just trust me."
"… I'm so stupid, really. It's been half a semester, and I didn't notice anything." Chu Danfeng sighed, "But who would have thought that the school bully would be so good at studying?"
Hua Tingxuan was forgiven by his deskmate and stopped pretending to be pitiful. He put his arm around his shoulders like a brother and said shamelessly, "I'm smart."
"And I work very hard, reading in bed every night."
Hua Tingxuan's image as a little sheep collapsed overnight, causing Chu Danfeng to no longer trust him. He asked suspiciously, "You're still reading while lying on the bed? Won't you feel sleepy?"
Hua Tingxuan said nonsense in a serious tone: "Haven't you heard the ancient saying 'go to the toilet on the pillow'? Lying on the bed makes memorizing very efficient. My bed is magical. You can memorize everything you read by lying on it. If you don't believe me, try it tonight. Lie next to me and I guarantee you can memorize a hundred words in one night."
Hua Tingxuan said it with such confidence that Chu Danfeng was almost fooled by him. He was eager to make a move: "Really?"
Hua Tingxuan: "Just give it a try. There's nothing to lose by trying."
As dusk fell, the lights of the Cayenne came on. The young men were talking to each other, drowning in the evening rush hour traffic. Their youthful imaginativeness made the driver smile. He heard a new topic from the two children in the back seat:
Hua Tingxuan: "Classmate, do you believe in past lives and present lives?"
Chu Danfeng: “?”
Hua Tingxuan: "I felt so familiar with you the first time I saw you. You looked particularly pleasing to the eye. It was as if we had known each other for a long time."
"!" Chu Danfeng, "To be honest, I feel the same way."
The driver couldn't help laughing this time. Chu Danfeng was a little embarrassed, as if his own Chuunibyou syndrome had been exposed. But then he heard Hua Tingxuan whisper, "Let's save this topic for later conversation tonight, just the two of us, and no one else can hear."
Sleeping on the same bed and chatting about past and present lives, such romantic topics, just thinking about it makes me excited.
Chu Danfeng was completely unprepared and agreed with it: "Okay, okay."
