[R18] Pretending to be a scumbag – “Pretending to Be a Scumbag” Chapter 36 [English]

Chapter 36

Xie Yu got up early, changed into his school uniform, ate some porridge and side dishes with Ms. Gu, checked the time, and prepared to take the bus back to school: “I’m leaving, call me if you need anything.”

Gu Xuelan put down her chopsticks, stood up and said, “Let the driver take you there.”

Xie Yu walked to the entrance and bent down to change his shoes. Just like when he came back, he didn’t bring anything with him. He looked like he was going out to play instead of going to school: “No, I can go by myself.”

“You’re going like this? Why don’t you even bring a school bag?” Gu Xuelan didn’t know what to say. “Did you finish the homework assigned by the teacher this weekend?”

Xie Yu said: “I wrote it and finished it in school.”

This excuse is too false. Gu Xuelan’s letter was full of ghosts: “I think you didn’t write it at all.”

“There aren’t many questions that I know how to write.” Xie Yu put on his slippers, opened the door and went out. A gust of wind came in from outside, bringing moisture to his face. “It doesn’t matter whether you take it back or not.”

Gu Xuelan was about to say, “Pay attention to your health as the weather gets colder,” but Xie Yu had already walked out several steps.

The Zhong family’s house is located in a relatively remote location, and it takes half an hour to walk to the nearest station.

There were residents nearby who came out for a morning jog. They ran circles in the park with a towel hanging around their necks, panting while running.

In fact, not everything here is annoying.

For example, the morning glow rising from the sky, the plants and trees passing by on the road, and a couple taking their children for a morning run in front of them, deliberately slowing down their pace, making it look like a funny slow-motion replay.

Xie Yu put on his headphones as he walked, played a random song, and then put his hands back in his pockets.

Fresh air, a new day.

The time Xie Yu gets to school depends on whether the bus is driving smoothly on the road. Sometimes it’s unlucky – like now, the bus stalls halfway.

The driver, smoking a cigarette, squatted beside the car and looked at it for a long time, then patted it with his hand, and finally came to the conclusion: “No, you can wait for the next one.”

The passengers on the bus were full of emotions.

-Children, when will you arrive at school?

-What are you doing?

-If you miss me, I will pick you up at the school gate.

-Are you sick?

-Can we have a good chat? Thanks to my good temper… Hey, don’t rush into class when you get to school later. I’ll be waiting for you in the toilet.

He Chao probably arrived at the classroom early and had nothing to do and came to harass him.

Xie Yu chatted with he for a while. One of them wanted to chat to death, and the other was responsible for rejuvenating dead trees.

The next bus came very quickly and stopped slowly, with the No. 91 license plate hanging on the glass window.

When Xie Yu arrived, there were still ten minutes of class left. He was not late. Even a mad dog could do nothing. He could only stand at the school gate and stare: “Hurry up and run! Race against time!”

Mad Dog added: “I don’t know how to hurry up. I will be in my senior year of high school soon. I thought I had just entered school… You know your deskmate, I caught him all day long, and he climbed over the wall secretly every morning, so I led people to block him at the wall.”

Xie Yu still walked at the same speed and walked past Director Jiang leisurely. He didn’t really want to hear “Mad Dog’s heroic past”: “Excuse me, goodbye Director Jiang.”

Xie Yu just walked upstairs and vaguely saw someone hanging around the door of Class 2 and Class 3 of high school. Wanda held the window edge with one hand and poked her head to look this way.He didn’t pay attention and was about to walk over when suddenly someone grabbed his wrist from behind and pulled him in the opposite direction.

Xie Yu was unprepared and took two steps back following the force. By the time he reacted, he had already been pulled into the men’s toilet cubicle.

“I told you not to enter the class,” He Chao let go of his hand. The toilet cubicle was still a bit crowded for two people, and they were very close. “…Didn’t you see the school committee member wandering around in the corridor?”

He Chao was wearing a school uniform inside and a thin coat outside.The loose sweatshirt is black, with a pair of large wings with sharp strokes printed on the back, and a section of the white school uniform is exposed from underneath.

Xie Yu didn’t take seriously what He Chao said when he was waiting for the bus: “The toilet is waiting for you”: “What are you shaking?”

“He said he must explain trigonometric functions to us clearly today.” He Chao scratched his hair and said helplessly, “… As soon as I entered class in the morning, he sat across from me and read the formula.”

Xie Yu: “…”

He Chao: “Unexpectedly, I am really convinced. He will definitely be someone who will do big things in the future.”

After the weekend, Xie Yu almost forgot that there was another person in the class who was crazy about saving the class average.

Xue Xisheng’s concentration and endurance are not comparable to ordinary people, so he filled the table with post-it notes and various subject information books in the drawer that could not be left on the table and on the floor, so he could only put them in the class library corner.

In the past two days, in addition to completing his own homework, Mr. Xue was also thinking about how to lead everyone to study together.

The two of them crowded in the toilet cubicle for a while. Finally, Xie Yu felt that it was a bit silly to hide in the toilet so early in the morning. It was better to go back and listen to Xue Xisheng read the formula.

So the two had a little quarrel.

“You can’t abandon me.”

“Don’t block the door.”

“Lao Xie, we will no longer be brothers after we leave this door.”

“It wasn’t originally.”

“…”

As class was approaching, a student on duty came to the toilet with a rag to clean, turned off the faucet and wrung out the rag. He was about to walk out, but he heard something vaguely coming from the toilet, so he stopped and looked around.

In the cubicle.

He Chao pressed his back against the door, blocking it from opening.

Xie Yu put his hand around He Chao’s waist and touched the doorknob. As soon as he unscrewed it, He Chao pushed him in again.

The two forces collided with each other. Although the movement was not large, Xie Yu accidentally kicked his heel on the trash can when he stepped back. The entire trash can was kicked over and hit the ground.

He Chao was afraid that he would fall, so he reached out and gave Xie Yu a hand.

Xie Yu had maintained his balance well, but when he pulled him, he fell backwards: “…fuck.”

The student on duty felt that he must not have turned over the almanac before going to the restroom, otherwise he would have found the words “not suitable for going to the restroom”.

The door to the last compartment slowly opened, and He clearly saw Xie Yu sitting on the toilet seat, while He Chao was bent over, with one hand on Xie Yu’s neck.

The posture is really ambiguous.

“I, I didn’t see anything…” The student on duty walked backwards towards the door, “I really didn’t see anything.”

Xie Yu said nothing with a cold face.

He Chao straightened up: “Hey, this friend.”

The student on duty was probably too frightened, so he backed away and said, “Don’t kill me.”

Good things don’t go out, love spreads thousands of miles.

After the first class, Wanda came over and asked, “What happened to you in the toilet this morning?”

“It’s okay,” Xie Yu said casually after copying his homework, “Are you itchy today?”

Wanda said: “I just have skin, I don’t itch.”

He Chao watched Xue Xisheng follow Tang Sen out. The alarm was lifted, and then he joined the chat group: “You are so well-informed?”

“My elementary school classmate’s freshman classmate is good friends with the cousin of the class monitor next door.” After Wanda reported her tortuous intelligence chain, she asked again, “Then again, Brother Chao, did you really take off Brother Yu’s clothes?”

Xie Yu capped the pen, finally raised his head, and stared at Wanda seriously: “What?”

The expression on Xie Yu’s face couldn’t tell whether he was a little unhappy or extremely unhappy. Wanda thought about it for a while and felt that her crisis should not be that big: “I don’t know what the original version was. Anyway, when it was transmitted to me, it was like this. You two were fighting fiercely in the toilet, and you were disheveled… In short, it was very exciting.”

Rumors are like this. They spread from ten to ten, and even if there is no problem, something will spread.

Wanda finally asked: “Really? Come on, let’s get closer and talk secretly. I promise to keep it secret.”

Xie Yu leaned back, not in the mood to talk about it.

Instead, He Chao approached mysteriously: “Want to know?”

Wanda: “I think so.”

“Actually, we didn’t just do this,” He Chao said, “we also did some more drastic things…”

Wanda narrowed her eyes obscenely, fascinated: “Oh?”

Taking advantage of Wanda’s unpreparedness, He Chao calmly rolled up a stack of student daily newspapers and threw it on Wanda’s head: “You! He mother! Ah! I dare to chew the back of my tongue! Has the freedom that big brother has given you too much lately?”

Wanda was stunned. She covered her head and looked at Xie Yu with tears in her eyes. It was clearly written in her eyes: Your roommate is bullying others.

Xie Yu was really annoyed at first, but when he saw the two of them making such a fuss, he felt there was no need to worry about it.

“How could you do this?” After Xie Yu said this half of the sentence, Wanda nodded desperately and almost wanted to shout, “From today on, you are my biological brother”, but Xie Yu rolled up the English textbook and said the second half of the sentence, “…Why are you using the newspaper? The newspaper is so light, you are smashing it for fun?”

He Chao laughed out loud after hearing this.

Wanda looked at a thick English book, turned around and ran away, feeling particularly aggrieved: “You have changed, Brother Yu, you have changed…”

Lunch break at noon.

Luo Wenqiang looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to the first official sports event of No. 2 Middle School. He took the registration form for next week’s autumn sports meeting from Tang Sen’s office, returned to the class and shouted with great energy: “Students – I want to announce something!”

Wanda and Liu Cunhao rushed to imitate Old Tang in front of he, speaking in a slow and leisurely tone, almost like sixty-seven minutes: “Luo Wenqiang, please organize the autumn sports meeting… Let everyone sign up enthusiastically to show the vitality of our class.”

Luo Wen was a little embarrassed on stage when his strong words were taken away from him: “Why are you two like this? You are taking away my job.”

The class was noisy.

Xie Yu lay on the table and closed his eyes to rest. He had been staring at his phone all morning, and his eyes were a little sore.

However, He Chao thought that his deskmate was sleeping. Xie Yu was lying on his stomach and felt something warm and hot sticking to his right ear. He covered his ear and blocked Luo Wenqiang and their voices.

——It’s He Chao’s hand.

Then he heard He Chaochong shushing them: “My roommate is sleeping, please keep your voice down.”

In fact, Xie Yu was not the only one in the class sleeping on his stomach. Several girls in the front row were also sleeping. They all felt it was noisy, but they were too embarrassed to speak.

Xie Yu moved his fingers, trying to open his eyes, but in the end he maintained his original posture without moving.

He didn’t feel sleepy at first, but he kept closing his eyes…and finally fell asleep.
