67. The gentlest child in the world.

The problem was solved very simply.

Among the messy ideas of class 7 students, Yu Sheng’s avatar jumped out like gold.

Yu Sheng: No need to look for it, I have a tutor.

Yu Sheng: Come tomorrow night for self-study.

There was a brief silence in the class.

Lao He just reminded everyone on the above that when you are looking for a person to teach you, you shouldn’t call it a partner. When you have to say it, it’s better to say it’s a tutor you hired. Yu Sheng’s message came up with a strong sense of presence.

In the classroom of Class 7, a group of people sat in silence, looked at each other, lowered their voices and discussed whether the tutoring mentioned by Sheng-ge was true or limited to the literal meaning, or had other deeper connotations.

“It shouldn’t be.” Duan Lei was very persistent, “Sheng-ge is not the kind of person who would be the one teaching.”

Yao Qiang: “Sheng-ge doesn’t seem like someone who would fall in love.”

The class monitor often went to ask Yu Sheng for advice recently, and was deeply impressed by his improvement in grades: “Sheng-ge’s grades have improved so fast, maybe he really hired a tutor?”

The school committee also had a deep understanding, and nodded in agreement: “That means this tutor is very good.”

A group of people came to a conclusion, accepted the mysterious tutor that Yu Sheng was about to bring over with confidence, and returned to their seats.

Yu Sheng put down his phone and glanced at his boyfriend beside him who was still in a trance: “Not good enough?”

“Enough.” Jin Linkun was thinking about how to teach a group of students English, and subconsciously responded: “I’m thinking how to teach better…”

In the middle of the next sentence, Jin Linkun suddenly raised his head to meet Yu Sheng’s gaze.

His significant other is asking him if he has shared enough of his burden with him through getting him to help with the make-up lessons

As long as he was with Yu Sheng, his words were always faster than his brains, and when he came back to realise what Yu Sheng was asking, he had already answered.

Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows, quite satisfied with the person who said he was content, clapped his hands and was about to get up, but was caught by Jin Linkun: “Friend, I think we should do it all over again—”

“It’s late.” Yu Sheng has been brainwashed by teachers of various subjects recently, and the college entrance examination reply came casually, “The exam papers are already handed in, can you answer it again?”

Jin Linkun: “…”

Yu Sheng looked down at him, the corners of his lips raised unconsciously, and he grabbed Jin Linkun’s wrist and pulled it towards him.

The boy’s fingers were long and slender, and without much effort, they loosely encircled his wrist, and the palm just fit the slightly protruding wrist bone.

Jin Linkun raised his head to meet the smile hidden in the eyes in front of him, and his heart beat furiously.

Unlike other people’s perception of Yu Sheng, Jin Linkun thinks that he actually smiles a lot

It’s just that the smile is not too obvious, and sometimes it just flashes in the eyes very lightly, and it’s gone before you can notice.

But as long as you look clearly, you will find how warm those eyes are, how much quietness and gentleness are hidden that have not been noticed by others.

“I have to do something, go back to school.”

Yu Sheng held his wrist and said concisely: “Accompany me or guard the gates here?”

“Follow you.” The corner of Jin Linkun’s lower lip couldn’t help but tug up, he held Yu Sheng’s hand, and stood up with some strength, “Wait for me for a while, I’ll borrow a bicycle lock.”

Yu Sheng didn’t understand his statement: “What are you doing?”

Jin Linkun single-handedly sent a message to the principal to ask for leave, and explained very seriously: “Lock the sickle sculpture in our school so that it won’t go anywhere.”

In the principal’s office, the two principals were still discussing the issue of the good relationship between the students of the two schools, and listed a row of very detailed terms.

“I think it is still necessary to respect the wishes of the children themselves.”

Both of them are in their own schools. The provincial school principal is very relaxed and patiently guides the principal of the brother school next door: “It is especially rare that the relationship between the two children is so good.”

He received a text message on his mobile phone, subconsciously picked it up to take a look, and continued to say: “We must give them more rights to choose…”

Provincial School Principal: “…”

The principal of No. 3 secondary school was a little surprised: “What’s the matter?”

The two of them walked downstairs, just in time to hear a loud “Wooooooow” coming from the top of the building.

“That’s what I heard at that time.”

Jin Linkun stopped for half a step, and pointed upwards to Yu Sheng: “But the voice is different, this one sounds more like our principal…”

Amidst the roar of the provincial school principal, the two students who were too close to each other had skillfully climbed over two walls and returned to the campus of No. 3 secondary school.

In the Education Department of No. 3 secondary school, Yang Fan lowered his head with a pale face and remained silent.

“Don’t be so afraid.”

The director of the education department sat on the same level as him, bent over and comforted him in a calm tone: “Class one’s teaching quality and style of study are the best, and your grades can be ranked among the top five in humanities*. One book is very promising, don’t be so hasty to make a decision…”

*(previously liberal arts)

Yang Fan’s head was almost down to his chest, he either didn’t speak, or turned his head around, repeating that he “needs to change classes”.

The director of the education department looked at him with a terrible headache.

Although he already knew that it was the student in front of him who poured ink on Teacher Yin’s handbag, but Yin Mei is not the head teacher, so even if Yang Fan doesn’t like her, she won’t pose any threat to him.

What’s more, he personally assured Yang Fan several times that he would keep it secret for him, so that he could be rest assured that Teacher Yin would not know who did it.

But this student is still the same as when he stood in the education office two years ago, desperately demanding that they give Yu Sheng’s punishment to him.

The director of the education department couldn’t help but wanted to find the principal again, but the principal had already gone to look for the missing student and hadn’t returned yet.

Seeing that this psychological work was about to end in failure again, the director of the Education Department rubbed his forehead, and was about to let Yang Fan go back to the classroom first, when the door was knocked twice.

The lost student found it by himself.

When the director of the education department saw Yu Sheng, he grabbed him and looked him up and down: “Little rabbit*, where did you go? Are you okay? The principal was so worried that he went out to find you in person!”

*(In chinese it is 小兔崽子 I guess little bunny, because little brat doesn’t sound like a cute and funny nickname)

When Yu Sheng’s grades came out, they were tightly sealed, and no one except the principal knew about it. Seeing that the student was not lost, the director let go of half of his heart, and unceremoniously dragged him into the education department.

Jin Linkun was leaning against the wall outside the door, wondering if all the teachers in No. 3 secondary school called Yu Sheng this funny and cute nickname, the director of the Education Department had walked past Yu Sheng, and nodded politely towards him and extended his hand: “Parent of Yu Sheng? You look really young. Come in and sit in, this incident was an accident, and we have already warned the teacher involved…”

Yu Sheng: “…”

Jin Linkun: “…”

It’s hard to describe this feeling.

Jin Linkun originally planned to wait outside, but now he had no choice but to shake the extended hand, and followed him into the office.

Inexplicably feeling that this voice sounded familiar, Jin Linkun accepted the warm water poured over by the Director of the Education Department, and found an opportunity to talk to Yu Sheng: “Friend, I want to ask—”

Yu Sheng cherished words like gold: “There’s only 1 person.”

___

Sure enough, it was the last time he came to the No. 3 secondary school exam. When he was delivering porridge outside the exam room to a friend who had a stomach ache because of pancakes, the voice on the loudspeaker asked him not to spoil the child.

Jin Linkun was inexplicably nostalgic, holding a paper cup, and sighed with Yu Sheng in a low voice: “In a way, your director has a really good memory.”

“Go back and give me the address where you made your pair of glasses.”

Yu Sheng was very indifferent, and didn’t want to be taken along with him in recalling the past at all: “In a way, our director needs a little gift for Teacher’s Day.”

Yang Fan’s eyes lit up when he saw Yu Sheng, he hesitated to speak, and just kept following him around.

When Yu Sheng came back to school, he came to look for him, motioned Jin Linkun to sit beside him, and discussed with the director of the education department in a low voice.

After all, he is the director who can sit in No. 3 secondary school, read the student’s game ID with a loudspeaker, and warn the parents of the students not to spoil their children too much in the middle of the exam. Hearing a few words from Yu Sheng, he nodded in cooperation and went out to find the academic affairs. The director of the department chatted and left the office to them.

The office door was closed, and Yu Sheng turned to Yang Fan: “I beat him up, it has nothing to do with you, and you don’t have to feel sorry for me all the time.”

Hearing Duan Lei and the others say that Yang Fan did this, Yu Sheng guessed what was going on.

He looked at Yang Fan, and said in a flat tone, “I took the punishment to let you stop thinking about it and continue with your own life.”

Yang Fan’s face was flushed, and he stammered: “I——I haven’t been thinking about it.”

“She targeted you and didn’t let you go to class.”

The thin and tall boy wearing glasses looked timid and cowardly, but he was very clueless about this matter, and stuck his neck: “I heard-I heard that your class is going to be higher than the average. I can pull up the score, I will definitely be able to score a hundred in English…”

Yu Sheng rubbed his forehead, he thought of trying to calm Yang Fan down, but Jin Linkun suddenly grabbed the hand hanging by his side.

The warm fingertips landed between his knuckles and rubbed gently twice.

Yu Sheng frowned, and turned to meet his gaze.

“I think he wants to help you.” Jin Linkun smiled, “And the atmosphere in your class will be very good.”

He still doesn’t know what happened, but he can already guess what’s going on.

Jin Linkun put down the paper cup and got up, looked at him: “After all, there will be a paid tutor who will do make-up lessons for everyone in your class…”

___

Yang Fan stared at the school bully in a daze. He then left and went to the Academic Affairs Office, found two directors, and went through the formalities of transferring classes.

“He brought a knife that day.”

Yu Sheng didn’t tell anyone about it, and watched Yang Fan happily move his desk to Class 7, and explained to Jin Linkun for the first time: “When I saw him, he was about to stab the leader with a knife and threaten him. Both are senior high school students.”

Yu Sheng didn’t interact much with the class at that time, so he didn’t pay much attention to the existence of such an unremarkable classmate. When he was about to help him, he happened to see Yang Fan raise his knife with red eyes in despair, and screamed at that scumbag that he would really stab him.

Jin Linkun held his hand and touched the scars on his knuckles that were already faded: “Is that how it came about?”

“Almost.” Yu Sheng almost forgot, and looked down, “The knife has been cut, and I don’t know where he got it from.”

One was a scum, there is no need to victimise the innocent party.

Yu Sheng snatched the knife, kicked Yang Fan, who was struggling and screaming, to the corner of the wall, and beat the high school gangster who was still swearing to death.

Later, the director of the Education Department, who was patrolling the closed school, happened to come over, and was hugged and shouted for help by the third-year scum, and the knife was thrown on the ground.

Yin Mei was their homeroom teacher at the time, and she didn’t even know why Yu Sheng fought, who was wrong and who was right, she just slapped the notice of punishment on Yu Sheng’s desk on the grounds of “putting the matter to rest”.

Yang Fan sneaked to the Education Department several times, insisting on asking the director of the Education Department to change his punishment, but Yu Sheng rushed over and dragged him back to the classroom.

There was a punishment in the end, at least nothing bigger happened, it was already the lightest consequence, but it still directly blocked Yin Mei’s way of promotion.

No matter how Yin Mei thought he was not pleasing to her eyes, she picked on him a few times, but she shrank back because she was afraid of him. Not long after that, there were rumours in their class that he had “divorced parents and a withdrawn personality”, “has a tendency to violence”, and was “easy to hurt others”.

Yu Sheng actually knew what was going on, but under the circumstances at that time, the gangster in the third year of high school would definitely find an opportunity to retaliate. If he couldn’t beat him, he could always find Yang Fan to settle the score.

If Yu Sheng just stopped and didn’t care about it, to Yang Fan, it would be almost the same as if he hadn’t helped him, and it might even be worse than the result of not helping him in the first place.

So after that punishment, Yu Sheng simply let the rumours spread everywhere, and caught the high school bastards several times.

At that time, he was more ruthless than now, beating people to death repeatedly, and finally beating them completely out of their wits.

“Now that I think about it, there’s nothing wrong with those classmates in the first year of high school who were afraid of me.”

Looking back now, Yu Sheng felt that he was a bit too aggressive in dealing with things at that time, and he twitched his lips with a slight smile: “If I were an ordinary classmate who didn’t know the truth, I would also think that I was quite scary.”

After recalling the past for a rare time, Yu Sheng collected his thoughts, turned around and prepared to go downstairs, but found that Jin Linkun was still standing still: “What’s wrong?”

“Not scary at all.”

Jin Linkun held his hand, pulled him to surround him, and gently stroked his hair: “What I’m holding now is the gentlest child in the world.”
