Chapter 10
Jian Shiwu didn't feel the crisis at all. He was talking to his deskmate. Her name was Kong Wenjing. As the name suggests, she was a very quiet little girl with average academic performance, but she liked eating very much. Even now before morning class,she had already eaten a few small cakes, and while wiping hers hands, she asked, "Have you finished searching the data for the homework assigned yesterday?"
Jian Shiwu nodded: "I finished."
The little girl was surprised: "So fast."
Jian Shiwu buried his head and took the last bite: "I found it pretty quickly it on my computer."
Kong Wenjing was slightly surprised: "Did your family buy you a computer?"
Jian Shiwu nodded lightly: "Well, it was just left over from my father's work unit. My mother saw that my study attitude was relatively good recently, so they got it for me."
One shouldn’t forget that he was a rich spoilt young master and it has something to do with his doting parents. Although they are strict on the surface, his parents will give him whatever he wants. This also developed his arrogant and defiant character. But due to all those years before his rebirth, he had smoothed out some of his edges and corners, making him more restrained, and his temperament gentler.
However, Kong Wenjing's voice just now is not too small, and the people in the front row were not too far away, and could hear her loud exclamatiom, and soon, some turned back:
"Really?"
"Wow, Jian Shiwu, your mother is so kind to you."
"Incredible."
"Can I go to your house to play on the computer?"
Jian Shiwu showed an embarrassed but polite smile and said, "It's okay, you can come and play if you want to."
Everyone became even more interested when they heard those words. As they were talking, a boy walked in through the door of the classroom. It was the young master Ji Beichuan. He still looked refreshed even after having two mobile phones confiscated, and walked in with big strides, glancing at Jian Shiwu provocatively. But he found that Jian Shiwu, who was usually not very popular, at this moment several people were flocked around him. He should be the person who was praised by all the students, not Jian Shiwu.
Ji Beichuan sat down in his seat and raised his arms exaggeratedly, as if he was afraid that people could not see the electronic watch on his wrist. After all, in this era, electronic children's watches were still very rare, even rarer than mobile phones but his deskmate's attention was not on him. Seeing him come in, he turned and said cheerfully, "Guess what, Jian Shiwu's parents bought him a computer!"
Ji Beichuan's pride froze a little.
The deskmate was envious: "Few people in our class have computers."
Ji Beichuan's house was the first in the class, followed by Liu Heng's house, and now Jian Shiwu's house also has a computer. However, with his spotlight robbed, the hedonist young master couldn't bear it.
Ji Beichuan snorted softly, pressed the watch to make the deskmate's dialing page light up, he selected a number to dial, and the backgammon cell phone that the deskmate secretly put in his pocket rang.
"Wow, what is this?"
Sure enough, the deskmate was amazed.
Ji Beichuan proudly boasted: "This is a new product developed by my father's company, a children's electronic watch. It has not been officially launched yet. It is normal that you have not seen it before. This is the latest model. You can make calls and send text messages."
The rest of them came over curiously.
Because morning reading had not officially started, you can chat at will, Ji Beichuan deliberately raised his voice a little: "I don't care about computers or anything now."
Puff!
Jian Shiwu couldn't help laughing, this kid wasn't too bad, just naive.
Ji Beichuan turned back angrily: "What are you laughing at?!"
Jian Shiwu picked up the book and turned the pages: "It's nothing, you heard wrong, I don’t want to endorse you, don't disturb me, noble young master~"
The last two words, young master, Shiwu's said lowly, full of mischief.
Ji Beichuan's face twisted for a moment, and he said with a "bah": "As long as you are still studying, your grades are still the last in class, at most you can only change from the last to the second last. If you can’t even get in the 30’s, it’s useless no matter how hard you study.”
If Jian Shiwu endured this mocking, he will be called a dandy. In his previous life, he would have fought a long time ago. Now that he can sit quietly at his chair, he had really grown up.
Pat!
Books are piled on the desk.
Jian Shiwu raised his eyebrows and said, "What if I made the top 30?"
Ji Beichuan smiled contemptuously: "Then I'll have to bark like a dog in front of everyone."
"I’ll take your word."
The speed of making the decision was comparable to that of a rocket. The matter was already settled when Ji Beichuan hadn't quite reacted yet. He looked up and saw Jian Shiwu's face. The class started self-study, and after noticing his gaze, Jian Shiwu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Inexplicably, Ji Beichuan felt that he should have been pitted, but then he thought about Jian Shiwu's shabby grades, even if he pulled his studies and worked hard, he would not be able to improve. The next exam will be in less than half a month, and there are nearly 60 people in the class. How easy is it to get into the top 30?
...
Throughout the day, Jian Shiwu felt a headache.
He felt as if he had forgotten something, and he vaguely understood that this matter was very important, but damn, he just couldn't remember what it was, such a sense of urgency made Jian Shiwu a little dazed all morning.
until noon
Jian Shiwu was sweeping the corridor, yesterday, he and Shen Cheng formed a brief revolutionary friendship. He felt very hot after sweeping. He knew that Shen Cheng loved to be clean, and even if he didn't use it, he would always keep some tissues on his body, so he asked, "Hey, can you lend me some paper?"
Shen Cheng held the cleaning tool in his hand and said indifferently, "Get your own."
Sss…Ruthless!
Jian Shiwu noticed the little sharp difference. Although Shen Cheng had always been indifferent to him, even to the point that he was actually a little used to it, but if he had to say it, this time the feeling was different. Today's indifference was different from yesterday's. There are also nuances of indifference.
It's like…he was being angry.
Strange
How did he provoke Shen Cheng today?
Weren't the cakes delivered in the morning?
Jian Shiwu pouted: "I forgot to bring it."
Shen Cheng ignored him and continued to do what he was doing. They were supposed to send back all the cleaning tools but he took all of them by himself, and it was even more annoying than a beeping machine in his ear. “Here, I'll return the tools."
"……Oh."
When Shen Cheng came down from the upstairs more than ten minutes later, he saw Jian Shiwu standing on the side of the road not far away, squatting on the ground to watch the ants walk. Because of the hot weather, he had rolled up his sleeves and his arms stuck out like little cute knots. The round lotus face is white with a shade of red, maybe because of sweeping work and heat, which is very funny.
Shen Cheng walked up to him: "What are you doing here?"
"I'm thinking about a question. There was a big question on the test paper yesterday and I couldn't figure out how to do it. You know that I'm bad at math. If only I were as smart as you, I really don't understand it." Jian Shiwu muttered. He stood up and said to Shen Cheng, "Isn't it conspicuous that when I squat here, it’s so that you can see me when you come out."
Shen Cheng was silent for a while, and then he said, "You have such a common face, let alone standing on the side of the road, I can't even notice it when you stand in front of me."
"..."
Jian Shiwu wanted to wipe his face again from the cold sweat.
Shen Cheng took out a clean tissue from his pocket and threw it to him: "Wipe it clean."
Jian Shiwu was a little surprised, didn't he say he coudn't borrow one, why did he suddenly give him a tissue? His thoughts were overwhelmed, he looked at Shen Cheng hesitantly, and stood there stupidly.
Shen Cheng lifted his eyelids and looked at him: "Are you waiting for me to wipe it for you?"
"…No."
Jian Shiwu took the tissue and lowered his head to wipe his face. When the tissue was placed on his face, his brain seemed to have opened up with enlightenment. He was troubled all morning, and he couldn't remember what he had forgottenbut suddenly it surfaced, no wonder he always felt that something was wrong!
Today, it was that day.
In his previous life, he remembered that the school was hit with news of the fourteen-year-old Shen Cheng who was photographed with serious injuries. Some passers-by offered to take him to hospital because the boy looked scarred, but the he just kept on the side of the road. After sitting down for a while, he got up and left.
That day, it was a debt collector who couldn't find Shen Cheng's mother and blocked him after school.
It is precisely because of what happened that day that the whole school knew what Shen Cheng's family was like. There were rumors and discussions. Many parents told their children to stay away from Shen Cheng. The students were all at risk for fear of being implicated.
In the following semesters, Shen Cheng was always alone.
Everyone avoided him like a snake and scorpions, as if he was a dangerous person, but everyone had forgotten that the person who did the wrong thing was not this 14-year-old boy at all, the real snake and scorpion was only his mother.
Shen Cheng never brought up such excuses, and would only bear it silently alone, and survived the long years by himself.
Thinking of this, Jian Shiwu's heart tightened, he suddenly raised his head and blurted out: "Shen Cheng!"
Standing beside him, Shen Cheng looked at him suspiciously.
Just at this moment, the bell rang for the class, disrupting Jian Shiwu's thoughts.
Shen Cheng: "I’ve given it to you, no need to return the paper."
After he finished speaking, he looked away and walked straight to the classroom.
"..."
For the whole afternoon, Jian Shiwu's mood was very complicated. On one hand, he had promised himself not to meddle in Shen Cheng’s business. Anyway, it was better to stay away from the protagonist.
Although he looked chubby and meaty, he couldn't bear through a beating at all. And the other party is definitely not a group of people to be provoked. If he gets involved, they may even be target him.
Tell the teacher, or find a parent?
But will they believe him?!
Jian Shiwu told himself that he wasn't there in the previous life, and Shen Cheng still survived... right?
Liu Heng came from behind and patted Jian Shiwu: "Brother, school is over, what are you still doing here, are you really stupid?"
Jian Shiwu returned to his senses and found that most of the people had really left. He stood up and started to pack his schoolbag. Liu Heng next to him picked up the test paper on the ground and said, "You dropped your things."
Jian Shiwu said, "What?"
"Math paper handed in this morning."
Liu Heng flipped through the pages and looked at the back of the paper. He was slightly surprised: "Hey, did you correct the difficult question at the back yourself?"
?!
Jian Shiwu was puzzled. He took the test paper and turned it over, and indeed saw the question at the back. The solution he wrote was indeed wrong, but there was a row of straight words at the side, and the stroke of the pen was a little sharp, the formula to solving the problem simple and clear, and by the way, a sketch on what he had miscalculated from the beginning to end, and finally also the complete equation and answer.
Liu Heng said: "This seems to be the handwriting of the class representative. Why would he correct it for you?"
Handwritings are just like their owner’s, and Shen Cheng's strokes are just like him, with a unique arrogance and sharpness. Looking at the neat words, Jian Shiwu's thoughts were suddenly pulled back to the afternoon, when he was on the side of the road, he said: "I'm squatting here thinking about a problem, there is a big problem..."
At that time, it was just a casual remark, and Shen Cheng didn't have much reaction, so Jian Shiwu didn't take it to heart, but he didn't expect Shen Cheng to remember. People do things silently and keep their mouths shut. Some people are warm and generous on the outside, but dark and selfish on the inside. Some seem indifferent and inhuman, but they can remember a small thing you said casually.
