[R18] Pretending to be a scumbag – “Pretending to Be a Scumbag” Chapter 18 [English]

Chapter 18

A new day.

The sound of scolding penetrated the last layer of clouds and mist in the morning, making people feel refreshed.

“Stand still, come… come here, stand still.”

“Don’t look at the ground. Can you see the flowers? There’s no need to be ashamed. There’s no need to be ashamed. Anyway, your face has been lost long ago.”

“Put your chest out! Look up! Look straight ahead, look me in the eyes.”

There were more than a dozen people standing near the bronze sculpture at the entrance of Liyang No. 2 Middle School. They were lined up in two rows, their heads lowered, and their schoolbags dropped heavily behind their backs.

The few who hadn’t woken up were frightened away by the roar, and were trembling in place.

One of the male classmates couldn’t help it. He raised his head and glanced at the dean, then lowered his head and whispered: “…mad dog.”

‘Mad Dog’ Director Jiang’s ears moved and he vaguely caught something. He raised his hand and pointed towards the queue and asked in a loud voice: “Who else is talking!”

The man’s chest rose and fell violently.A pair of gold-rimmed glasses hung on the bridge of his nose, but they did not make him look any more elegant or elegant. He also held an attendance sheet in his hand, which recorded the names of people who were late every day. Anyone who was late more than three times would be entered into the last page of the attendance sheet – the blacklist.

The nickname Mad Dog has been around for a long time. It was given by previous students and it just stuck.It is said that no teacher can be offended by this dean named Jiang. The legendary mad dog is more terrifying than a menopausal tigress.

I saw Director Jiang narrowing his eyes slightly, walking from the front to the end of the row, and sneered: “—late. Just a few days after the new semester started, I was late for fun.”

he walked from the front to the end of the row and suddenly stopped. Other he classmates were holding their breath and concentrating when they heard Director Jiang’s voice suddenly become louder again: “He Chao? What’s going on with you?!”

He Chao came out: “Late.”

“You have been staying in the dormitory this semester, and you can still let me catch you at the school gate,” Director Jiang motioned for the others to go back to class, leaving He Chao alone, “Okay, your ability to violate school disciplines and rules is really impressive.”

He Chao said that he came out for a morning run and accidentally saw the wrong time.

Director Jiang looked at the man in front of him who was so refreshed that he could smell the smell of washing powder when he got closer.

A morning run is nothing but a walk for the elderly.

Director Jiang didn’t bother to talk to him anymore. He looked at the time and saw that class had already been in class for ten minutes. He just said: “Old rules.”

“Review, I know.” He Chao said while walking backwards, “I will send you to your office at noon. See you again, Director Jiang.”

Seeing that He Chao was about to disappear, Director Jiang hurriedly said: “Wait a minute, come here.”

He Chao stopped.

Director Jiang: “What’s going on with the joint book in your class?”

After experiencing a turmoil, Xu Xia was not punished, but her decision to go to the Experimental High School was definitely ruined. The superiors saw that she had a good attitude in admitting her mistakes, and because she had been teaching for more than ten years, they did not pursue the matter any further.

However, what makes the school a headache is that the students in the third class are willing to change their class teachers.

When He Chao first tried to mention this, he thought that no one in the class would respond.This class is unusually quiet on weekdays, and everyone is silent. Unexpectedly, this time everyone burst out with their opinions on Xu Xia.

Liu Cunhao took the lead in leading his brothers to come to support.

“Do it!” The person who spoke was a boy who looked quite energetic, especially those eyes that seemed to light up when he looked at people. “As long as our whole class participates, even if we fail in the end, collective crimes will generally be given a lighter sentence.”

Liu Cunhao patted the boy on the forehead: “Wan Shitong, why are you so negative? You think about failure before you take action.”

The boy known as the “know-it-all” said: “This is not called negativity, this is called strategy. I can give you ten such incidents in one breath – last year, class five collectively protested against the teacher for occupying our physical education class…”

He Chao was actively lobbying Xie Yu to go with them to find the mad dog.

Xie Yu pointed to the joint book Liu Cunhao was holding in his hand, which had already collected the signatures of half the class: “It’s a big honor for me to sign on it, do you understand?”

Director Jiang stopped him and left without saying a few words.

He Chao ran all the way back to the classroom. When the English teacher wasn’t paying attention, he bent down and slipped in through the back door. Then he quietly sat down, took out a cup of hot soy milk from the empty bag on his shoulder, and pushed it to Xie Yu: “Here.”

Xie Yu looked at the soy milk and straw: “What are you doing?”

“Drink,” He Chao hung his schoolbag on the back of the chair, “You don’t want sugar-free.”

Ever since he learned that he lived across the street from Xie Yu, He Chao would often visit him when he had something to do. Of course, Xie Yu didn’t welcome this behavior.Sometimes He Chao gets up early and wakes up Xie Yu from the other side: “Let’s have breakfast together.”

Then He Chao discovered that Xie Yu was very picky about food, otherwise he would rather not eat.

“Soy milk, they are both soy milk, what’s the difference?” He Chao asked.

Xie Yu: “I don’t drink sweet soy milk.”

There are not so many kinds of soy milk in the school cafeteria, but only in off-campus breakfast shops.He Chao originally wanted to thank Yu for doing such a big favor for him and treat him to a meal, but he didn’t expect that he ended up being an errand boy.

“What are you doing? Lecture? What is this?” He Chao spent a long time looking for an English book. After opening it, he felt confused again, “…when was it assigned?”

Xie Yu borrowed the homework from the front desk and said without even raising his head: “I don’t know, probably when you were thinking about whether a lace tutu looks better or punk leather pants.”

The little movement from He Chao did not escape the teacher’s eyes.

After writing the question on the blackboard, the English teacher put down the chalk and clicked on He Chao’s name: “This latecomer, please tell me what the first step is to do when encountering a question like this.”

He Chao slowly stood up, hesitated for a while, and said six words: “Give up, look at the next one.”

Xie Yu was halfway through copying the translation question. When he heard this answer, he did not close the end of the letter c and drew it out in a long way: “…”

English teacher: “…”

The whole class: “…”

He Chao added: “Don’t waste time when you encounter a question you don’t know.”

After the silence, I don’t know who couldn’t hold back the laughter first, and then the whole class burst into laughter.

“Hahahahahahaha the next one.”

“Talent talent.”

The English teacher wanted to make a serious face, but finally gave up: “Sit down and listen carefully.”

After early self-study, rumors spread in the class about Xu Xia being transferred to the senior group.

“There is a teacher in the first year of high school who has a bad voice and needs surgery. Xu Xia will probably go over to teach that class. Our upcoming new class teacher’s surname is Tang.”

Wan Shitong listened in the corner outside the teaching office, returned to the class with the fresh news, and rushed to tell him: “He was transferred from a key school, a special teacher, sounds very awesome.”

Wanda, whose surname happens to be ‘Wan’, always has endless gossips. I don’t know where they come from. The truth and falsehood are confusing.Moreover, Wanda himself boasted that apart from Liyang No. 2 Middle School, there was nothing he didn’t know about in half the city, so he was nicknamed ‘Know-It-All’.

Liu Cunhao was collecting homework and said casually: “How dare you listen to Mad Dog’s corner?”

Wanda said: “That’s necessary. If you want to get first-hand information, you have to risk death.”

Know-it-all’s information may not be accurate even once out of ten times, but this time he was right. The new head teacher’s surname was Tang, and his name was very personal, Tang Sen.

Tang Sen looked like an ordinary man who was about to enter middle age. He wore a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist and lectured seriously. In two days, he knew the names and faces of the people in the class.

He is also very easy to talk to and doesn’t have any airs… he’s just a bit annoying. He is quite talkative and can tell you some things that are beyond your reach in just one sentence. It doesn’t feel out of place when you put them together.

“Students on duty should clean up the class before leaving. It’s important to go to bed early at night and get enough sleep. Don’t eat too greasy. Just leave the questions you can’t solve. You can ask but never copy them. Remember to care about your parents when you get home. They are also very tired from the day. By the way, it seems to be raining tomorrow. You’d better bring an umbrella…”

“…”

After the last class, those who live on campus stay to continue their evening self-study.

It was a coincidence before that He Chao and Xie Yu had a high chance of skipping late night self-study. Either you skipped it or they both skipped it together. It was almost half a month since school started and they didn’t know that the other one was also a boarding student.

Most of the classmates left, and nearly ten people remained, doing homework and chatting.

It was already dark outside.

Wanda asked mysteriously: “Do you know that our dormitory is haunted?”

When Wan Shitong started this supernatural topic, He Chaozheng was dragging Xie Yu to play a team game together. The man kept immersed in his own operation skills: “I’m really strong – did you see it? I’ll kill you twice with one hit. Come here, I’ll protect you.”

Xie Yu: “Look clearly, I killed that person.”

If it weren’t for the fact that he couldn’t attack his teammates, Xie Yu might have attacked this person first.

“There have been strange noises on our floor these past few nights, especially after midnight, and there were knocks on the door,” Wanda said, her voice getting lower and lower. “I heard that a few days ago it was only wandering around the first floor… But starting from last night, strange things happened on the second floor. I heard the knock on the door with my own ears. When I went to open the door, there was nothing outside, and there was a shadow wandering at the end of the corridor.”

Wanda added: “I don’t know if I saw it wrong. But there wasn’t that rumor in our school. You all know the one who jumped off the building.”

Other classmates echoed: “I know, I jumped from the top of the building.”

“I live on the first floor. I heard it several times. I didn’t dare to open the door. But it was gone yesterday. Did it really go upstairs?”

Xie Yu didn’t listen to what they were saying, and concentrated on playing the game. When he met two big bosses, he was about to have anal sex. He turned around and found that his teammates had become cold for some time: “Tsk. Aren’t you going to cover me?”

He Chao’s expression was not right: “…Which floor do we live on? The third floor?”
