Chapter 31 Accident: Wake Him Up.

In previous years, these competitions were based on voluntary registration, but in order to increase the chances of winning and to avoid students wasting time, the school still adopted an examination method. In the past two weeks, the grade group uniformly arranged a geography simulation exam. Shen Yan was unsurprisingly far ahead, while Xu Jing took third place, only one point behind the person in front.

“Let me tell you, although your geography scores are usually pretty good, this is a competition! Do you understand competition?” Wu Songyue walked around the office twice, then deliberately put on a stern face and pretended to be serious, “There is always someone better, so be humble.”

“Lu Haichuan, especially you!” Wu Songyue pointed to the boy standing to Xu Jing’s left, his tone quite serious, “Don’t hand in your paper early. I heard that this year’s difficulty is greater than in previous years, so write it carefully for me.”

Lu Haichuan was the person who scored one point higher than Xu Jing in this geography competition. His scores in other subjects were not remarkable in the environment of No.1 High School, but his biology and geography were praised by both teachers as having a natural talent.

However, Xu Jing didn’t have a good first impression of Lu Haichuan. He had seen this person in the cafeteria several times before, but he never knew his name. He just felt that this person was spineless and couldn’t stand up straight, and his whole body was out of shape. Especially when he came in just now, Lu Haichuan actually cut between him and Shen Yan. Although this was just an unintentional action, Xu Jing felt a little uncomfortable after seeing it.

“Teacher, I understand,” Lu Haichuan replied with a cheeky smile.

Wu Songyue snorted and said to the others, “Then you should prepare well when you have time today, and you don’t have to attend the morning self-study tomorrow.”

“Wow, really?”

“Then gather at the school gate at six o’clock,” Wu Songyue slowly added the second half of the sentence.

The office was quiet for two seconds.

After a while.

Several incredulous voices sounded at the same time: “…What time?”

“Six o’clock,” Wu Songyue said, “If I remember correctly, only Xu Jing and Shen Yan are day students here. They have to get up half an hour earlier than you, and they haven’t said anything yet.”

Xu Jing just opened his mouth: “I–”

He wanted to ask why they had to gather at six o’clock for an exam at nine o’clock, when the distance from here to the exam site was no more than half an hour.

But Wu Songyue didn’t give him this chance, but jokingly interrupted, “What’s wrong? It’s okay, if you can’t get up, Shen Yan can go to your room to wake you up.”

As soon as he said this, the people around him began to cheer tacitly, each making different tones of “Oh”.

Xu Jing: “…”

At this time, someone still had to add an extra sentence, “Okay.”

The cheering became even louder.

Xu Jing gave Shen Yan a look and told him to figure it out.

Regarding the competition, Wu Songyue was afraid of delaying study time, so he only briefly explained the general idea and let them go back to class. Xu Jing walked out the door first, and Shen Yan was originally following closely behind, but he was forcibly held back by Lu Haichuan behind him.

Shen Yan had endured it twice in the office just now. At this time, almost everyone had left. Watching Xu Jing disappear around the corner of the stairs, Shen Yan turned around and asked Lu Haichuan in front of him, “Do we know each other?”

“My name is Lu Haichuan.”

Hearing this, Shen Yan’s expression became even more impatient, and he looked like he was looking at an idiot.

“Damn, you really don’t remember me?” Seeing Shen Yan’s indifferent look, Lu Haichuan sighed with some disappointment and said, “Okay, then do you remember saving someone in the water five years ago?”

“Near the entrance of Xiangyang Village.”

Hearing this, Shen Yan narrowed his eyes, as if he remembered something.

That summer was particularly hot. Zhong Yiqiu took him back to his hometown to escape the heat, but accidentally ran into a little boy who fell into the water. Shen Yan was not very old at the time, and he had not formally learned to swim. He simply had some experience in going into the water and jumped down to save people.

Afterwards, someone did come to thank him on the spot, but he and Zhong Yiqiu never cared about these things, and so many years have passed, their appearances have changed, so how could they still recognize who the other person was.

Thinking of this, Shen Yan’s reaction was still not great. He just said “Oh” and was about to leave.

“Hey, don’t go yet, listen to me finish.”

He was impatient and hated the other party’s hesitation the most. At this time, he just walked away without even turning his head.

Until Lu Haichuan behind him hurriedly shouted a name, the voice was not loud, but it was particularly clear.

“Wang Yan!”

Shen Yan was stunned and stopped almost at the same time as the other party said this name.

Seeing this, Lu Haichuan immediately stepped forward and said, “You always know Wang Yan, she is my mother!”

Shen Yan stood half-stiff, looking at Lu Haichuan, “What do you want from me?”

Hearing that the other party’s tone had improved, Lu Haichuan did not take it any further, but put away his initial frivolous appearance and said seriously, “You saved my life back then, I will always remember this, so if there is any trouble in the future, you can come to me at any time.”

After understanding the other party’s meaning, Shen Yan did not show any obvious emotion. He just didn’t understand why Lu Haichuan would suddenly say these things at this time. Thinking of something, Shen Yan’s expression became a little strange, and his cold face also had a bit of human touch because of the action of turning his head. He said softly and heavily, “This life has already been repaid by Doctor Wang.”

When Zhong Yiqiu was found to have late-stage gastric cancer and had been diagnosed, no doctor was willing to spend any more time, except for the attending doctor who never gave up from beginning to end. Even knowing that he was powerless to recover, he still tried his best to reduce the pain Zhong Yiqiu suffered in the last period of time.

And this person is Wang Yan.

Watching the leaving figure, Lu Haichuan was slightly stunned, but soon, he swept away the unpleasant emotions after being neglected and shrugged his shoulders lightly.

Today is Gray Tuesday. Mathematics and physics in the early morning made the students in Class Four miserable. Fortunately, the first class in the afternoon was physical education. After the lunch break, the entire class dispersed in a hubbub.

But before the physical education class had been going on for a few minutes, an urgent ambulance sound suddenly came from outside the school. Many doctors and nurses rushed in from the outside. Cha Fei’ang couldn’t help but be distracted and looked over there when he was shooting the ball. But at this moment, the ball in his hand was quickly taken away by someone. Then, in the air, there was a beautiful parabola.

“…”

Damn, he was blocked by Xu Jing.

Cha Fei’ang angrily cursed, but his attention was still attracted by the noise not far away from time to time. The boy who was quickly moved onto the stretcher was pale and cyanotic. It seemed that he had been poisoned. In the last second before the ambulance was closed, Xu Jing vaguely felt that the face was a bit familiar.

Someone was whispering beside him.

“Damn, isn’t this that guy from Class Three?”

“Which one?”

“The one with the particularly low EQ and no sense of tact. I suspect his dad paid to get him into our No.1 High School, otherwise, with these grades, haha.”

When he heard the comment about having no sense of tact, Xu Jing knew who it was.

There were quite a few classes having physical education today, and they were all attracted by this conversation.

“Is that Zhang Dong? What happened to him?”

“I heard people from Class Three say that Zhang Dong has been particularly strange recently, often acting strangely as if he were possessed by a ghost.”

“Also, also, Zhang Dong’s roommate also said that this guy sleepwalks and almost jumped off the fifth floor once.”

The symptoms became more and more outrageous. Although they had not had a pleasant time with Zhang Dong before, Cha Fei’ang did not feel any schadenfreude at this moment, but felt a little sympathetic. So he put aside the fact that he had just been blocked by Xu Jing, shook his head and stepped forward and said, “These people are really gossipy.”

Xu Jing didn’t reply.

Cha Fei’ang’s eyes rolled quickly, thinking that Xu Jing was still dissatisfied with Zhang Dong because of that incident, so he didn’t think much about it, and didn’t pay attention to the fact that the expressions of the people next to him were more serious than usual.

Xu Jing looked ahead, always feeling that something would happen, making him inexplicably worried.

But at this moment, a large hand suddenly rested on his shoulder and patted it lightly twice. The warm feeling in the palm of his hand was transmitted through the fabric, making people feel a sense of security.

Xu Jing knew that Shen Yan was behind him, but he didn’t turn around.

The rare physical education class was disrupted by a sudden accident. Although many people in the school pretended to care about this matter on the surface, they were actually just watching from the sidelines. Xu Jing initially thought that the feeling he had this afternoon was just a coincidence, until he saw Liang Yin suddenly come to the classroom during the last self-study session, looking serious. He stopped the pen in his hand and once again felt a strong sense of unease.

Liang Yin is recognized by all the students as the easiest teacher to get along with. Even when she usually checks the class and walks into a noisy classroom, her face has never been as ugly as it is now.

“Put down the pens in your hands, everyone, and listen to me say something.” Liang Yin said in a deep voice, “I think you all already know that Zhang Dong, a student from Class Three, suddenly had a physical illness this afternoon and was taken to the hospital. The school is still investigating the specific situation. I hope the students will not fabricate facts. If found, they will be dealt with as a violation of discipline.”

After she said this, the class was eerily quiet. The atmosphere makers in the back row realized the seriousness of the matter at this time, and no one spoke out like they used to.

But in fact, everyone knew very well that if Zhang Dong was really hospitalized because of illness, what else would the school need to investigate? It could be seen that this matter was far from simple.

After Liang Yin left, many corners of the room were filled with voices that were deliberately lowered, whispering, one after another. Before the disciplinary committee member could say anything, someone kicked the leg of the table heavily.

The table shifted, and most of the books fell to the ground. Everyone was startled. Zhou Ji’s pen almost flew out, and Cha Fei’ang carefully turned his head.

Xu Jing stared straight ahead with a cold face, but in the end, he didn’t say anything, nor did he pick up the book.

The meaning was obvious, he did it on purpose.

Although Xu Jing didn’t talk much in the class, his presence was very strong. After a few seconds of reaction, those who were still complaining and discussing just now wisely quieted down.

Only a complicated gaze crossed several seats. As if they had a telepathic connection, the people sitting on both sides almost simultaneously looked up at each other. In an instant, their eyes met.
