66. You are finally useful now.

Yu Sheng was woken up by the sound of a phone call, and when he finally opened his eyes, Jin Linkun was holding his mobile phone and meditating.

The call stayed on the hung up interface, and Yu Sheng flipped the phone twice with his hand: “Whose phone is it?”

Jin Linkun was still thinking: “Your principal.”

“…” Yu Sheng sat up and rubbed his forehead: “What’s the matter?”

“I don’t know.” Jin Linkun shook his head, “I just said ‘Hi, I’m Jin Linkun’.”

Yu Sheng took the phone and looked at the call time of less than ten seconds: “What did he say?”

Jin Linkun: “Woooow.”

Yu Sheng: “…”

The two of them faced each other in silence for a while, propped their arms together, and looked out the window.

“Think on the positive side.” Jin Linkun thought for a while, then patted his boyfriend on the shoulder, “Our sickle statue is still there.”

After receiving a text message with the content of [save the key point, don’t need to reply, no need to wait] The principal of the No. 3 middle school failed to chase down the principal of the provincial school with the scythe statue, and got stuck outside the back wall of the provincial school, which was as indestructible as a fortress, and was dragged down from a ladder by the two directors of the provincial school.

In the end, they found out that it was just an accident, the precious little sapling from No. 3 Middle School just came to the next door to have lunch and take a nap.

The headmaster of the provincial school has been tied for second place in the city for a long time. Seeing the two boys standing beside the desk, he couldn’t help being moved: “The little classmates have a good relationship and like to play together. As teachers, we shouldn’t interfere too much…”

“Then why don’t you let that one come to our school too?!”

The principal of No. 3 Middle School exploded in an instant: “When that Jin Linkun of yours called me, I shouldn’t have listened to the little bastard, and asked him to come over directly!”

“…”

Jin Linkun coughed lightly, met the eyes of the provincial school principal and the little bastard, opened his mouth, and explained to Yu Sheng first: “It’s a long story, it happened a long time ago, before you persuaded me with a sickle…”

In view of the special situation of the two young students, the principals on both sides sat down again and had a cordial and friendly chat.

The principal’s office was facing the stairwell. Jin Linkun pulled Yu Sheng and sat on the stairs together, separated by a fire door, listening to the movement inside: “Is your principal good?”

Yu Sheng didn’t expect that this person actually called the principal of No. 3 Middle School, and glanced at him: “Are you still planning to transfer?”

The two principals are actually similar, they dare to roll up their sleeves to fight hand-to-hand but if someone hugs their waists and pulls them back, they will immediately change back to throwing things and scolding each other.

But if one of them really wants to transfer to the other school, the headmaster of that school will definitely double his combat effectiveness, leading all the physical education teachers to surround and capture the office buildings of the enemy school.

“No.” Jin Linkun was slightly dumbstruck, and wrapped him in his arms, “I don’t want to make you worry.”

Yu Sheng originally wanted to say a few words about him, but suddenly felt the warmth on the other’s shoulders, and for some reason he was unable to say the rest.

After the autumn rain, the air was cold, it was somewhat freezing in the corridor.

The two of them came out in such a hurry that they didn’t bring their school uniforms along.

“Did you not sleep well?”

Jin Linkun put an arm around Yu Sheng, and told him to lean on him: “Take a break, they won’t stop arguing for a while.”

The competition for high school students has always been the top priority. The ranking of the city’s examination results was not announced to the public. 

Although the afternoon class has already started, it is impossible for the two principals to let them go back to class with peace of mind before the two principals argue about the result

The corridor was really cold, and Yu Sheng sat on the steps without pushing Jin Linkun’s arms away.

It was as if there was a heater on this person, it was always warm at all times, and he never seemed to feel cold.

He don’t know how much ATP* he had to constantly generate so much heat.

*(biology stuffs)

Yu Sheng was thinking about it for a while, and was about to go through the question types of the set of maths papers he had just finished in his mind again, when his phone vibrated again.

Duan Lei and the others didn’t see anyone in the afternoon. They were so nervous that they couldn’t bear it after half a class. They sent a message to ask if he was captured by the principal.

The content of the text message was a bit long, for fear that he would not be able to understand if he didn’t know the situation, Duan Lei told him the whole incident in detail.

After reading a few sentences, another head appeared on Yu Sheng’s shoulders.

Yu Sheng didn’t care, turned his phone to the side, and let him read the messages.

Yin Meizhen only asked her class to read the English text for one class, and dismissed school before the time came.

There is a teacher’s cafeteria for teachers to eat at noon. Yin Mei went to make a meal and came back, only to find that someone had entered the office, knocked over the ink, and spilled it all on her newly bought handbag.

He heard that the handbag is quite expensive, worth a few months’ basic salary of a teacher.

Yin Mei was furious at that time, and made a fuss to the education office, insisting that it was the second and seventh class of senior high school who took revenge, and the most likely one was that scumbag student named Yu Sheng in their class who didn’t study well.

It wasn’t a big deal, and someone soon turned himself in and admitted to his mistakes, but the problem was that when the director of the Education Department wanted to find him, he suddenly found out that Yu Sheng was not there.

Not only was he absent, but he was also kicked out of the classroom by Yin Mei as soon as he started class.

Two days ago, an unexpected accident happened to the students in a nearby middle school. It made a big fuss, and it even made the news. The director of the education department searched around but failed to contact the person, so he nervously reported directly to the principal.

The principal nervously sent two messages to Yu Sheng, and then received a casual reply from Yu Sheng who was about to fall asleep.

Then they all know what happened.

Yu Sheng has long been used to Yin Mei acting as a monster, but he couldn’t help being curious, and replied: So you did it?

Duan Lei went crazy: How is it possible!! If it were me, would I only attack a small broken bag?!

Duan Lei: Yang Fan did it. He admitted it himself. Sheng-ge, do you still remember him?

Duan Lei: He happened to be Yin Mei’s class, and he sneaked into the office by handing in homework.

Duan Lei: Seriously, seeing how gentle and good a student he is, we really didn’t expect him to be so courageous…

Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows and almost figured out what was going on.

With the head on his shoulders weighed down heavily, Yu Sheng raised his shoulders: “Have you finished reading?”

“This Yin Mei.” Jin Linkun had already finished reading, pointed to the screen, and couldn’t help frowning, “Who is she?”

Yu Sheng sneered: “A teacher…don’t worry about her.”

In fact, he didn’t take the previous English class seriously at all, and he didn’t tell Jin Linkun specifically, just because he thought it was unnecessary.

Yin Mei is a very ambitious person. For her, having no hope of promotion and falling from the position of head teacher to an ordinary teacher is already uncomfortable enough.

Judging by her recent performance, maybe she wants to teach some more minor subjects.

Yu Sheng didn’t take it seriously, and clicked on the class group, watching a group of people frantically swiping the screen with righteous indignation, discussing how to give Yin Mei a good punishment.

Jin Linkun was silent for a while, without speaking, and gently buried his head into his child’s neck.

This group of people’s thinking diverged greatly, from talking about teachers to writing reports, and in the end, for some reason, they went around and miraculously returned to a new topic on tuition.

Yao Qiang: Sheng-ge, Sheng-ge, we need to learn English! We want to increase the average English score to beat class one!

Yao Qiang: Help us make up lessons together!!

Yu Sheng was a little taken aback by the enthusiasm of this group of people who usually wanted to write English compositions in pinyin. With one hand, he flipped through the missed chat records with his mobile phone.

The class monitor was very excited that the students had ignited their enthusiasm for learning, quickly checked the information, and reported the data: although the average score of class one is high, their English is their weak point, only 82 points. Our current average is 64.

Class monitor: The monthly exam is too late, and the midterm exam is less than two months away. We only need to score 20 more points per person, and we can overtake them.

The representatives of the English class couldn’t help raising their hands in agreement: English is the most efficient way to score! Classmates! Especially for those with low scores, just memorising words! Let’s learn together brothers!!

Duan Lei: Damn, let’s do it!

Duan Lei: We are not just dirt!!!

Yin Mei was unwilling to substitute for the class, so she sneered and ridiculed them, which instead aroused the fighting spirit of the whole class.

They all knew that Yin Mei and Yu Sheng were at odds and were worried about getting him into trouble. A group of young and energetic boys and girls just gritted their teeth and endured an entire class, all of them felt suffocated.

It is the age when everyone wants to be strong. No student is willing to be pointed at the nose and called “garbage” and “dirt that can’t even cling to the wall”, let alone be directly regarded as useless waste by the teacher at the beginning of the semester of their third year of high school.

Duan Lei yelled first, and the class exploded immediately.

A group of people vented one sentence at another, gritted their teeth and vowed to study hard, and scared away Lao He who just came back from getting out of class and was about to say hello to everyone without knowing the situation.

Yu Sheng looked at the bubbles that kept popping up on the screen, gently put the phone aside, and tugged at Jin Linkun: “What’s wrong?”

Jin Linkun held his hand: “I’m a little… sad.”

It’s not particularly serious, it’s just that while he is proud of how good his boyfriend is, at the same time, because his boyfriend did not need to share the burden with him, he feels a little bit sad.

Both proud and sad.

Yu Sheng was slightly startled, and turned to meet his gaze.

Jin Linkun was also looking at him, his eyes behind the lens were bent, and he raised his hand to rub his head: “But our family’s kid is really good.”

He praised Yu Sheng earnestly, smiled, and wanted to talk again, but the very powerful kid beside him had already voluntarily approached him.

The stairwell was very quiet, Yu Sheng supported the stairs behind him with one hand, and turned sideways.

It was already afternoon, and the sun had turned more than half a circle, and a little sunlight slanted in through the window in the corridor, and draped on the boy’s short hair, which was a bit tangled.

The slightly cool soft touch gently touched his ear.

Jin Linkun suddenly forgot what he was going to say, was stunned for a while, and subconsciously returned his arms to hug him.

“Sad for?” Yu Sheng leaned his chest on his shoulder, and added after a while, “I skipped class to buy food for us.”

In fact, he wanted to talk a lot. He wanted to say that he dared to be so rude because he knew that he would have a place to go after being kicked out of the classroom. He also wanted to say that it was because Jin Linkun was the emergency contact person, so he was not afraid of violating discipline, and he was not afraid of his parents being called.

There’s so much he wants to say, but he doesn’t feel like he needs to say anything.

There is no need to explain nonsense, it is obvious that this person can even achieve full marks in English reading comprehension.

Jin Linkun, who had a perfect score in reading comprehension, hugged the man in his arms who suddenly turned red, opened his mouth, and couldn’t help but chuckle suddenly.

Yu Sheng’s ears were burning badly, and he couldn’t help but want to push him away to cool off, but Jin Linkun hugged him further and buried his head in his neck.

With great difficulty, Yu Sheng pushed the head off his shoulders and the warmth disappeared. The class chat was still very lively.

Lao He understood the cause and effect, and readily decided to help. He gave up all the morning self-study, which was originally divided into Chinese and English self-study groups, to full English self-study groups, and encouraged everyone to use the morning self-study time to recite words and practise listening comprehension.

The school committee and class monitor volunteered to help everyone find topics to practise. The English class representative was responsible for summarising commonly used words, leading the whole class to read in self-study every morning.

There is time, there are topics, but there is still a shortage of teachers.

Bao Qin didn’t say that he would be back for another week, and the students in class seven didn’t even want to see Yin Mei’s face, and the English teachers in other classes didn’t have the energy to substitute for their class.

Lao He feels that learning English and Chinese should be the same, and he should and has the ability to be competent for this arduous task and he can make some small contributions to the efforts of his class.

After listening to him read a paragraph of English, the students politely rejected the enthusiasm of the Chinese teacher without hesitation.

Duan Lei is very anxious: Is there anyone who can speak good English?? Can we all sacrifice a little bit and if anyone knows someone, let him or her lead us in these self-study lessons?

Yao Qiang also thinks this is a good idea: if you work hard, it will benefit the whole class. We must study hard and never give up halfway!

Lao He pays great attention to the spring and autumn style of writing, and every time he encounters this kind of situation, he will painstakingly educate the students to adjust their wordings: don’t talk about this subject, and don’t say sensitive words such as boyfriend and girlfriend. It can also be a neighbour or someone with a working identity, such as a tutor or something…

The students in Class 7 basically have no secrets. The whole class knows about those who have a partner.

It’s a pity that there really aren’t many people who can help this time. Either their grades are average, or their grades are not bad but their English is also weak. Although the class monitor’s girlfriend is good at English, it’s a pity that she just happened to be sick and asked for leave recently, and she won’t be back to school until next week.

A group of people were so worried that they couldn’t help but encourage a few high-quality singles to sacrifice for their studies and go to other classes to try their luck.

It’s not that people in No. 3 Middle School have never done this kind of thing. When Yu Sheng first came to No. 3 Middle School, he heard that there was a girl in the second year of high school who was with a boy ranked No. 1, but they broke up after half a year.

After the breakup, the boy cried out of breath: “You don’t really want to be with me at all, you just want me to tutor you in your studies!”

This scene was made into a video and posted on the school post bar. The boy became famous from then on, gained many people to study with him, and finally got admitted to the school of his dreams.

Seeing that the discussion among these people became more and more out of tune, Yu Sheng casually flipped through the chat records, without looking at them carefully, he pulled Jin Linkun’s clothes twice.

Jin Linkun was still touching the part where Yu Sheng touched him just now, when he nudged him, he suddenly came back to his senses: “What’s wrong?”

“You are finally useful now.”

Yu Sheng showed him the phone screen: “When are the make-up lessons?”
