The Silent World, And Him

Chapter 3

Views:

Qin Yu leaned on the edge of his head teacher's desk, his school uniform still unzipped, his long legs naturally crossed, and he was playing with a red pen of Lu Baisheng in his hand.

Lu Baisheng was looking at his test paper with a slightly frown. There were two test papers in total, and he read ten lines at a glance and finished them quickly.

He looked up and asked, "You only brought two?"

"Yeah." Qin Yu was not stupid. Even if he stayed up all night, he might not be able to finish eight English test papers. He glanced at the questions when he was copying the test papers yesterday. These practice papers were still a bit difficult, so he only brought two to Lu Baisheng this time.

"Shua La", Lu Baisheng folded the test paper and threw it on the table, leaning back. He raised his foot and kicked Qin Yu, and ordered: "Stand up straight, act like a student."

Qin Yu ignored him and did not move, still looking lazy and listless.

Lu Baisheng handed him the cup of water and raised his chin towards the water dispenser.

Qin Yu stood up straight and reluctantly went to pour a glass of water.

The water was hot, so Lu Baisheng picked up the cup and blew on it, then asked him, "Did you copy Pu Chen's test paper?"

Qin Yu looked up at Lu Baisheng with a puzzled look, as if asking Lu Baisheng: How do you know

He was very sure that Lu Bosheng only read the first part of the multiple-choice questions and did not read his composition.

I heard that Lu Bosheng taught English to two classes, and the test papers he corrected added up to at least a thousand, and these test papers were from the past two months. It was impossible for him to still remember which questions Pu Chen got wrong on which test paper some time ago.

Qin Yu refused to admit it: "You are just making up a false accusation."

Lu Baisheng sneered: "You are still trying to accuse me of something. I haven't wronged you at all."

"What about the evidence?"

"You got the same questions wrong as Pu Chen."

Qin Yu was suspicious: "Do you still remember Pu Chen's test paper?"

Lu Bosheng said, "Remember."

Because she is the class representative

Apart from this, Qin Yu really couldn't think of any other reason.

Lu Bosheng asked, "Have you finished copying all eight?"

Qin Yu: "...I think so."

Lu Bosheng took a sip of water and scolded: "Qin Yu, look at your attitude now, is it decent?"

Qin Yu retorted: "You made things difficult for me first, and now you blame me for cheating? Who can finish eight test papers in such a short time? It's not like you're the only one with English homework."

Lu Bosheng looked at him and said, "Before, you could."

Qin Yu suddenly fell silent.

Lu Bosheng was talking about the past, not the present when he was so negative and perfunctory.

Qin Yu turned to look out the window. His office was on a low floor, and there was a table between him and the window. As far as he could see, he could not see any scenery but a gray sky.

"Qin Yu, I am your homeroom teacher now, not your Uncle Lu. Giving up on yourself won't work with me."

"If I had known you were a teacher here, I would never have come here."

After moving from Beijing to Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, who would have thought that he would meet a fellow villager? Lu Bosheng was no longer just a fellow villager, he had watched him grow up.

His grandpa's family and Lu Bosheng's family were neighbors in the compound. The two villas were about ten meters apart. When he got into trouble at school when he was a child, he always asked Lu Bosheng to clean up the mess.

He always thought that Lu Baisheng was abroad, and Lu Baisheng told him so.

Qin Yu asked him: "Does Grandpa Lu know that you are a teacher here?"

Grandpa didn't know, and no one in the family knew. Lu Bosheng replied: "I'm 30 years old. It's my freedom to choose a career. No one else can interfere."

Qin Yu could hear the hidden meaning, which was that the Lu family didn't know about this yet.

That's right.

If the Lu family knew that Lu Bosheng came to Sucheng to be a high school teacher, more than half of them would be angry to death.

Qin Yu asked curiously, "Is your ex-wife's hometown Sucheng?" Otherwise, there was no reason for him to come to Sucheng to teach.

Lu Baisheng paused while drinking water and said nothing.

Qin Yu understood it clearly, and not denying it meant he agreed.

Lu Bosheng met his first love in college, and they secretly got married after graduation. However, when the Lu family found out, they totally disagreed. What was the point of getting married? They had to get divorced.

Everyone in their circle knew that the Lu family had a high threshold and that ordinary people couldn't get in, and Lu Baisheng's ex-wife's family was very ordinary.

Lu Qinyu kindly said, "The former teacher's wife probably doesn't know that you are a teacher here, right? If you don't tell me, how can others know what you are thinking?"

Lu Bosheng put down the cup and stood up. He took out the textbook and hit Qin Yu on the head, "Kid, stop meddling in adult affairs."

Qin Yu: "I don't want to meddle in your affairs. It's rare that you and my father are not the same kind of people. I still hope that you are well."

Qin Yu's parents divorced when he was four years old. After the divorce, they remarried. Including his first marriage, his father had three marriages and three divorces, while his mother had two marriages and two divorces. Originally, his mother was planning to get a marriage certificate with her third husband this year, but unexpectedly, Qin Yu had an accident.

Later the marriage fell through.

Lu Bosheng didn't want to talk about his own affairs. He continued to talk about the two English test papers: "Your attitude is hard on yourself. Qin Yu, you are only sixteen. What you will experience in the future is much more complicated than you think. What's the matter? You don't want to live anymore?"

Qin Yu took the two English test papers that Lu Bosheng disliked. After all, he spent a lot of time copying them, and it would be a pity to lose them.

He folded the test paper and put it in his coat pocket, and retorted: "You still know that I'm sixteen, then don't use your thirty-year-old so-called life experience to teach a sixteen-year-old student. I know poisonous chicken soup, I drank a lot of it and almost got poisoned to death."

Lu Baisheng smiled helplessly and was speechless.

These little brats nowadays are young but have big tempers.

Lu Baisheng screwed the lid on the water cup. The next class was Class 9’s English class, so he went downstairs with Qin Yu.

The two no longer talked about heavy topics.

Qin Yu put his hands in his pockets and walked side by side with Lu Bosheng. He said, "Actually, you are a good teacher. I heard that our class's average English score in this monthly exam was second only to the two intensive classes."

Lu Baisheng glanced at him and said, "Thank you for your affirmation."

Qin Yu could hear the sarcasm in his words, but he still smiled.

Lu Bosheng didn't lecture him anymore and turned into Class 9, while Qin Yu stepped into the door of Class 10.

The next two classes were math classes. The math teacher was already standing on the podium. He had taken off his down jacket and placed it on the table, and was wearing a gray cashmere sweater.

The math teacher was in his forties, with a neat crew cut, and wore a pair of black-framed, thin-rimmed glasses. He had a serious face and sharp eyes.

Qin Yu glanced at Pu Chen, who was looking down at her phone. This kid was quite courageous, actually playing with her phone under the teacher's nose. No wonder she made so many mistakes on the English test paper, and even one question was not corrected after being corrected.

The class bell rang.

Qin Yu sat down in his seat, took out the two English test papers from his pocket and stuffed them into his schoolbag. Then it was his free time, and he lay down on the table and fell asleep.

No one dared to sleep in the math teacher's class, let alone whisper to each other. Even Zhao Shu, who was not interested in studying and was the only girl in the class who failed the English test, sat up straight in math class.

Whether to listen or not is one thing, but the attitude must be there.

Zhao Shu sat behind Qin Yu. She touched Qin Yu's chair lightly with her foot, indicating that he must not sleep, otherwise his life would be difficult in the future.

Qin Yu didn't take it seriously at all and just did what he was supposed to do.

Zhao Shu was too lazy to meddle in other people's business. She pretended to listen to the class carefully, but her mind was on the novel she read last night. She had been following a serialized book during this period and wondered if she would be able to write the highlights she wanted to see today.

On the podium, the math teacher glanced in Qin Yu's direction no less than ten times. He didn't want to waste class time, so he tolerated Qin Yu's behavior of sleeping in class.

After the class, Qin Yu lay there and slept soundly.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class.

Pu Chen hadn't figured out the problem the teacher had left on the blackboard. She turned over the draft paper and started checking from the beginning. She didn't know where she had gone wrong, and she hadn't even used up half a sheet of draft paper to finish one problem.

There should be a simple algorithm, but she doesn't know how to use it, so she can only use the dumbest one.

"Thank you." Along with the thank you, a stack of English test papers appeared on her desk.

Pu Chen looked up and saw Qin Yuren had already walked two steps away.

Before she could respond, he just left with his back.

The math teacher glanced at Qin Yu calmly. Not many people dared to sleep in his class.

"Pu Chen."

Pu Chen looked up and just as he touched the phone on the corner of the table, the math teacher asked, "What's the name of the new boy who transferred to your class?"

She typed and handed it to the teacher: Qin and

The math teacher nodded to show that he understood.

Pu Chen sighed silently. The teacher was so angry probably because Qin Yu slept in class but became energetic as soon as get out of class was over and didn't waste even a second playing.

The second class is still math class.

The math teacher called Qin Yu and asked him to go to the blackboard and solve the problem he had just left.

Except for Pu Chen, everyone in the class looked at him with sympathy. As expected, he suffered for sleeping in math class.

Qin Yu was not nervous at all, and walked up to the podium calmly, without even looking at the chalk box, and casually took half a piece of chalk. During the time he walked from his seat to the podium, he had already calculated the answer in his mind.

Standing in front of the blackboard, Qin Yu felt as if he was standing in his class in Beijing. The difference was that he was standing on the podium and explaining questions to his classmates, but now, he was taken to the blackboard by the teacher to do questions.

It was an accident that he transferred to Sioux City to study.

Copying other people's English test paper was an unexpected event in his life.

From childhood to now, other people have always copied his homework.

Qin Yu was distracted for a long time and only wrote the word "解" on the blackboard.

He didn't know who he was competing against, but he was not deliberately going against his current math teacher.

In the end he didn't do the math problem.

Seeing that he really couldn't write it, the math teacher said sternly, "Go back to your seat and listen to the class carefully."

Qin Yu turned around and threw the chalk in his hand directly into the chalk box. He was still immersed in some bad memories from the past and failed to control the strength of the chalk thrown, and the blue chalk head hit Pu Chen's nose.

"I'm sorry," he apologized.

Pu Chen shook his head, picked up the chalk that fell on the table and put it in the chalk box.

During the break, Pu Chen put his cell phone in his pocket and took his cup to the teahouse to get some water.

In the corridor, Qin Yu was leaning against the railing facing the classroom, playing with his mobile phone.

When she walked up to Qin Yu, he happened to look up.

The two looked at each other.

After transferring to this class, Qin Yu only knew Pu Chen, except for his deskmate and Zhao Shu who sat in the back seat. He took a look at Pu Chen, who had cold white skin and a piece of blue chalk dust on her nose that was particularly conspicuous.

It must be the masterpiece left by his mistake of throwing chalk on the podium before, and she didn't wipe it clean.

"There is chalk dust on your nose." Qin Yu reminded her.

Pu Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized that Qin Yu was talking to her.

She couldn't help but stop and wipe it with the back of her hand.

I didn't wipe the right place, so the chalk dust is still there.

Qin Yu: "Go up further."

Pu Chen was embarrassed and simply wiped his entire nose.

There is still one dot of chalk dust left.

Qin Yu pinched her sleeve and led her hand upward to the blue dot of chalk dust.

"It's gone this time." Qin Yu loosened her school uniform sleeves, lowered his head and continued playing games as if nothing had happened.

Pu Chen didn’t know whether his face was red or not, but his heart felt the same as if he had just finished running 800 meters.

Luckily she brought her cell phone.

Thanks

She held the phone up to him.

Qin Yu thought she handed him her WeChat QR code for him to add. He glanced at her phone screen and then looked at her again.

In a hurry, Pu Chen had already taken a big step.

Qin Yu looked at her back and found that this class representative was really interesting. She had to type out her thank you on her mobile phone, and she was very frugal with words.
