When Mei Fang was on his way back from fetching water, Xia Yuan was squatting beside the bucket wringing out a rag. The two looked at each other and smiled. Suddenly, Xia Yuan dipped some water and threw it at Mei Fang, who dodged repeatedly.
"Hey, hey... what are you doing..."
"Damn Ah Fang, you made our corridor wet. How long will it take us to delay this?"
"Sorry, sorry." Mei Fang said with a cheerful smile, "I'll help you drag it in a moment."
"Who wants you to delay? I'm kidding... We can do it ourselves."
Xia Yuan also laughed, "Ah Fang, you were so handsome just now, our class teacher couldn't do anything about you."
"That's what I mean!"
Peng Xue quietly slipped out of the classroom, trotted over and patted Mei Fang on the shoulder, "I didn't think you were good just by hearing Yuanyuan say it, but now I know why Yuanyuan likes you so much."
"Xiaoxue... what are you talking about!" Xia Yuan waved her fist in protest: "Take your hands off Ah Fang!"
"Hey, I won't!"
Xia Yuan made a cute sound that cannot be described in Chinese. He dipped some water and sprinkled it on Peng Xue. The two of them were having a lot of fun. Mei Fang was also having fun. At this time, someone suddenly pinched Mei Fang's shoulders hard from behind.
"I say... Mei Fang... you said you would fetch me some water, why didn't you return the bucket to me?"
I'm so crazy, I forgot everything.
Mei Fang quickly handed the bucket to Zhang Ming, "Work hard, I have made Class 8's floor dirty according to your instructions. If I can't help our class win the title of Model Hygiene Class this time, you will be blamed."
Zhang Ming: “???”
After dealing with the little farce, Mei Fang went to find Lin Youxi who was waiting at the flower bed to have dinner together.
Throughout last year, Mei Fang actually ate at school with same-sex friends like Zhang Ming, while Lin Youxi either ate with Yue Xinyi or Xia Yuan.
However, after entering the second year of junior high school, Lin Youxi asked Mei Fang for time to go out for dinner together on Friday afternoons. Because the tutoring schedule had compressed their time, the time they usually had alone became very short.
Yue Xinyi naturally supported him happily and even looked very happy when she was abandoned.
Of course, as they stayed in school for a long time, the fact that Mei Fang and Lin Youxi had a good relationship had become a consensus among the students in the class. Eating together was a reflection of their closer relationship, and it was only a matter of time before it was discovered and spread.
Just like Xia Yuan's previous handling, Mei Fang was actually happy to see it happen. After all, Youxi's charm has gradually become more prominent as she grows older.
On the way to eat beef noodles with Lin Youxi, Mei Fang also told Lin Youxi about the farce that happened today. Lin Youxi sighed after hearing it:
"This class teacher really went too far. And from what you said, does Peng Xue have to have her hair cut next week?"
"Given Peng Xue's love of beauty, I don't think she will compromise..."
"Hmm..." Lin Youxi nodded, "But I think it's also amazing that she can stick to her own ideas."
"Uh, it feels a little weird when these words come out of Squad Leader Lin's mouth..."
"Would it be out of place for me to say this?" Lin Youxi tilted her head.
“It’s not a question of the values of what I say.”
Mei Fang smiled slightly, "It sounds like you are defending Peng Xue."
"… "
Lin Youxi frowned slightly, "This has nothing to do with protecting Peng Xue. I'm just talking about the facts... However, if she has anything she wants to ask me about her studies, I can teach her."
"Remember to tell Yuanyuan in person. She will be very happy when she knows it." Mei Fang said gently.
"Hmm..." Lin Youxi said and sighed, "Compared to Peng Xue, I'm actually more worried about Yuanyuan now."
Lin Youxi explained, "Yuanyuan is a person who trusts others easily. If Peng Xue continues to go against the head teacher, Yuanyuan may sooner or later stand against the teacher to protect Peng Xue. It's not that it's wrong to do so, but... once Yuanyuan decides that the other person is a friend, she will always give her heart without reservation, even if it puts herself in danger."
"Let's not talk about whether Peng Xue would do this or not. If one day her sincerity is betrayed by someone, I can hardly imagine how sad she would be."
"Why did you suddenly bring up such a far-fetched topic..."
Mei Fang felt a little guilty after listening to this. According to the previous reasons, Youxi should just be talking about the sincerity between friends and talking about friendship. He shouldn't be hinting at me anything, right
I guess...
At the same time, the general cleaning work was also coming to an end. Because Mei Fang would bring beef noodles, Peng Xue and Xia Yuan asked the other students on duty to eat first, "Yuan Yuan and I will stay and wait for the sanitation inspector to come."
The team that inspects hygiene is usually composed of the hygiene committee members of each class. The stools can only be put down after the inspection is over, so there are only Xia Yuan and Peng Xue in the class now.
The two of them separated and checked the ground to see if there were any scraps of paper or other debris, which would result in deduction of points.
"I checked here and it's gone. Where's Yuanyuan?"
Xia Yuan gave Peng Xue an OK gesture and said, "It's done."
"Then go to the bathroom and wash your hands first. I'll wait here for the inspector to come."
"Yeah, I just need to go to the bathroom."
Xia Yuan trotted to the bathroom, waiting for Ah Fang to bring her the delicious beef noodles. Seeing that the inspection team had already reached Class 7 next door, she thought it would be almost time.
However, she was worried about another thing.
Teacher Huang insisted that Xiaoxue cut her hair... Although junior high school students should pay attention to dressing appropriately, there is no school rule that prohibits them from having bangs... It is also annoying to suddenly have a new rule.
But if Xiaoxue continues to make trouble like this, just like Ah Fang said, no matter how disgusting the teacher is, there is no need to delay her future just to compete with her.
Xiaoxue's grades have already dropped a lot. If she continues to make trouble like this, it will only harm her. I would rather let Xiaoxue transfer to another class than let her go on like this.
Should I also be more firm in my stance and try to persuade Xiaoxue not to argue with the head teacher
But for Xiaoxue, cutting her hair... was more painful than taking her life.
Oh, this is so difficult!
Xia Yuan left the bathroom somewhat melancholy. When she returned to the classroom, she saw Peng Xue cleaning something with her head down, making crisp sounds of glass hitting each other.
Xia Yuan trotted forward to check the situation and found that Peng Xue was cleaning the glass cup that the head teacher used to drink tea, which was now completely broken into pieces.
Her expression was very surprised: "Xiaoxue, did you knock over Teacher Huang's cup?"
"Ah, how could it be me who fell? I'm not that bored."
Peng Xue smiled and shook her head. "The inspector said we didn't mop the floor clean and would deduct points. I just ran out and chased them and argued with them until they agreed not to deduct points. When I came back, the cup was already broken. I don't know who is so brave to do such a thing... But it's broken, so what? How much is a cup worth? It's the yellow-faced woman's fault for not taking good care of it herself."
"That teacup... is the commemorative cup that Teacher Huang received when she went to the provincial selection for model teachers."
Xia Yuan's expression was very solemn. "She has always cherished this, so... that..."
"We're probably going to be in big trouble."
"It's okay, Yuanyuan, don't be afraid!"
Peng Xue patted Xia Yuan's shoulder to comfort her, "We just need to explain the situation truthfully. It wasn't us who did it, so how can she blame us?"
