Chapter 1, Mistakenly Boarding a Pirate Ship

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Fan Congsi said: "My driver is waiting downstairs, I will call him to take you back."

What happened? Fan Congsi leaned over to take a look. The originally neat and elegant handwriting had become difficult to read due to some beverage splattering on it, obscuring certain mathematical symbols

We enjoy taking advantage of the many over the few, so what?

Xia Wenqian was also feeling very frustrated, "If it weren't for the allure of a full tuition waiver, I wouldn't have come here. I don't even dare to tell my former classmates that I am at No. 19 Middle School"

The boy who had run back stepped forward, standing in front of his companion, looking at the other with disdain, and coldly provoked: "What kind of hero is it to bully the few with the many? If you have the ability, let's fight one-on-one!"

Tang Yi stood outside the door, unwilling to enter. "Why did you bring me here? I want to go back to school; I still have evening study to attend to."

Tang Yi could only brace herself, close her eyes, and jump down. She did not know what she had stepped on, but it produced a loud "thud" sound. She felt as if her heart was about to shatter, and a piercing pain shot through her foot, causing her to fall to the ground and be unable to get up for a long time.

South Street

Tang Yi looked at him angrily and said loudly: "Someone like you certainly does not think that attending evening self-study sessions is important. Regardless of whether you attend class, submit assignments, or study, you simply do not care. You brought me here, what exactly do you want to do?"

Tang Yi understood that he was most likely just scaring himself, yet as she gazed into the dark depths of the water, she dared not move recklessly

The black garbage bag in Tang's hand burst open with a crack, spilling foul-smelling trash all over the ground as if it were trying to join the commotion. Two boys, who had initially walked away, turned back upon hearing the noise, their expressions reflecting an indescribable strangeness as they looked at her

The first meeting between Chen Shang and Tang Yi, although not of a grand nature, was memorable enough to leave a lasting impression.

Tang Yi, the one with long hair tied in a ponytail, is the top student among the top students. You must know this, right

"Let's talk about it later," he said, leaving without looking back.

A new waiter whispered, "Manager, the guests in the opposite private room have made a reservation. Should we ask them to come out?"

Chen Shang hailed a taxi and gestured for her to get in. Tang Yi was taken aback and said, "Didn’t you say it was nearby? We could just walk there slowly." Chen Shang remained silent, pushing her into the car, closing the door, and telling the driver the address. Tang Yi, who was from out of town, was unfamiliar with the area and did not know where he was referring to. She thought to herself how extravagant the children of wealthy families were, even taking a taxi for a distance of just three steps.

"Wake them up," Chen said indifferently

Most of the "outstanding students" in the class come from families with poor economic conditions, and they had no choice but to attend the infamous No. 19 Middle School because they could not afford the high tuition fees

Zhao Mingyan stood in the corridor, peering inside and curiously asked, "What is he doing?"

Chen played games until 5 AM the previous night and woke up at noon the next day. He simply feigned illness and did not go to school, continuing to play games in the afternoon. On the third day, he was late for school again and had to wait until after class to enter the classroom. The vast campus was empty and quiet, with not a single figure in sight. He wandered around the school with his backpack slung over one shoulder. As he passed the bulletin board, he saw Tang Yi's name appearing first on the school's "Congratulations" notice, printed in red on black paper, the writing vigorous and full of ink, just like her haughty demeanor.

Where is A? Haven't you finished your homework yet

He secretly cursed "virtue," adjusted the backpack on his shoulder, and quickly left, unwilling to look back even once. Bored, he squatted by the Yuming Lake skipping stones, while the drooping willow branches occasionally brushed against his face, which he rudely swatted away. Yuming Lake is a crescent-shaped artificial lake, surrounded by a ring of weeping willows. Although the lake's surface is only the size of a "palm," the water is crystal clear, and the surface is as smooth as a mirror, making it one of the most beautiful spots at Yuming Middle School.

Xia Wenqian comforted herself while comforting others, saying, "Since we are here, we must make the best of it. There is no other way; we are already here, and the school has already started. We just have to accept our fate. We have signed a contract with the school, and we cannot transfer to another school midway, otherwise we will incur a substantial penalty for breach of contract."

"Hi, what are you doing hiding here all by yourself?" Zhao Mingyan patted his shoulder with a smile on her face. She turned her body to the side and sat on a smooth, large rock next to Chen.

Fan Congsi remarked. Tang Yi laughed and said, "So it was you who were fighting, I had almost forgotten about that." Upon recalling the embarrassing scene from that time, the two couldn't help but burst into laughter

Finally, school is over. The students, both excellent and struggling, packed their bags while singing "The skies of the liberated areas are bright and clear," and then they quickly slipped away like oil on their feet.

She took a few steps back, clapped her hands eagerly, and said to Chen without any courtesy: "You, are not allowed to look, turn around and walk away."

Tang Yi watched as the two sides exchanged punches and kicks, with the two weaker individuals completely at a disadvantage. She pulled the already stunned Xia Wenqian and ran forcefully in the opposite direction, while her other hand held a plastic garbage bag, which made a "shh-lah, shh-lah..." sound as she ran

No.

In the room, only the sound of Chen Shang's "shasha" as he wrote and flipped through books could be heard, and neither of the two spoke, creating a very tense atmosphere. Tang Yi quietly observed the lighting arrangement in the private room while gently sipping the freshly squeezed kiwi juice from her cup. After finishing a drink, she decided to step outside for some fresh air, saying, "I will step out for a moment." She took a large apple and slipped out the door.

The classroom was filled with noise and chaos. Taking advantage of the commotion, Chen Shang sneaked back to his seat. Just as he sat down, Tang Yi came over to urge him to submit his math homework

Chen gritted his teeth and glared at her. At that moment, he wished he could transform into a vampire and bite her neck to vent his pent-up anger. He still remembered the first time she saw him; she screamed "A ghost!" and then turned to run away.

No matter how dissatisfied she is with the new school, she understands that she has mistakenly boarded a pirate ship in a moment of confusion. She cannot afford to be careless in her studies, nor can she allow those who have gone to Shanglin No. 1 High School to look down on her. Shanglin No. 1 High School is the best secondary school in Shanglin City

Zhaonan Street is one of the most bustling and lively areas in Shanglin City. The winding Shanglin River divides the street into two, with towering skyscrapers adorned with brilliant lights reflecting on the colorful river surface. Compared to the daytime, the nights here are even more favored by young people, making it a famous "Sleepless Street"

"Do not look. We are just here to take out the trash, do not stir up trouble." Tang warned her with ample experience. In this haunted school, it is not surprising for any bizarre events to occur.

"Why aren't you attending class?" Chen Shang has distinct facial features, thick eyebrows and thin lips, deep-set eyes; whether he is speaking or silent, frowning or smiling, he possesses an irresistible charm. Due to his outstanding appearance and prominent family background, he has always been spoiled by girls, leading to a fluctuating attitude towards Zhao Mingyan.

Chen Shang and Fan Congsi, due to the inconvenience caused by their fight, found it difficult to return to the dormitory. Chen Shang also did not call the family driver to pick them up, and the two took a taxi directly back.

The laughter of the other party was unrestrained, like wolves and tigers fixating on Chen Shang and Fan Congsi, who refused to bow their heads and admit defeat

"Just take a stroll." Tang Yi shook the apple in his hand

Chen became impatient and said flippantly, "What late self-study class? Everyone is already here"

"One-on-one? That's fine, you against five of us"

Fan Congsi turned his head and inquired with his eyes at Chen Shang. Zhao Mingyan, Li Zhe, and two other girls, who were singing in the private room, hurried out upon hearing the commotion, all eight eyes fixed intently on the two. Li Zhe was a sports student, a member of the school basketball team, and was quite prominent in school; the other two girls, like Zhao Mingyan, were also music students. Upon seeing that Chen Shang had brought a girl, Zhao Mingyan displayed a hostile expression and bluntly asked, 'Who is she?'

The two individuals walked back with a sense of exhaustion.

"You should pledge yourself to me." Tang Yi teased with a smile, patting him on the shoulder with great enthusiasm, "We have been through thick and thin together. Come on, let's go sing."

"What did you bring me here for?" Tang Yi's voice involuntarily became sharp due to anger

The duty manager was very thorough in handling matters; noticing that the Chen family's driver was absent, he quickly made a phone call to arrange for a car.

"Unlucky!" Whenever this is mentioned, Tang Yi becomes furious

The sudden turn of events startled her. She saw the person lying on the ground gasping in pain, and hurriedly threw away the garbage bag in her hand to help him up. The boy, with a face smeared with mud and blood, grinned at her, revealing his white and even teeth, which looked somewhat terrifying.

Ah, no need..." Tang Yi continued to wave his hand.

Chen's arrogant attitude infuriated the already hot-tempered Beer Belly Sun. Squinting his eyes, he said: "It doesn't matter if you can't do it, I'll find someone who can help you. Tang Yi, you will assist him until the homework is completed."

Tang stood there with his neck twisted, remaining silent

Every time I think of this, I feel like crying without tears, and I angrily say: "How shameless it is to force students to sign a contract of servitude!"

Fan Congsi suppressed a laugh and said, "It seems like doing homework"

Until the car came to a stop in front of the bustling street illuminated by neon lights, Tang Yi's mind exploded with a loud bang. Chen Shang pulled her out of the car and, seeing her standing still, frowned and said: "What are you dazed about? Let's go."

That was close! Xia Wenqian said, patting her chest. If it weren't for Teacher Chen scaring them away, they might have also suffered the collateral damage.

Upon hearing the name of Chen Shang, Tang Yi could not help but roll his eyes

The male waiter on duty nearby noticed that they were arguing and wanted to step forward to mediate. The manager who had brought them up had not yet left and was busy holding him back, while simultaneously signaling to the other waiters not to interfere.

"Oh, her!" Chen displayed a look of disdain, and there seemed to be a hint of annoyance in his expression. A talented student? They are all just self-important individuals!

Chen Shang skillfully led her to a KTV called "Jia Shang". The interior was resplendently decorated, with mirror walls on all sides, creating an illusion of disorientation as reflections of people moved without touching the ground; the black marble floor was so polished it could reflect a person, and the European-style crystal chandeliers emitted a brilliant and soft glow. Upon entering, one was greeted by a towering wall of a wine cabinet filled with various foreign liquors. The manager on duty in the hall, upon seeing Chen Shang, promptly set aside his tasks, greeted him with a smile, and personally escorted them to the entrance of the private room.

Zhao Mingyan and two other girls monopolized the microphone and refused to let go. The boys were playing a game called "Multiplication Table of Nine," where the loser had to drink beer. Chen Shang seemed to be a bit slow-witted tonight and ended up drinking several cups in a row. Tang Yi sat in the corner listening to music and eating fruit, occasionally shaking a prop to applaud and cheer. When she got bored, she watched them drink and play games, and time passed quickly. When she finally came to her senses, it was almost ten o'clock, and she was startled. She hurriedly stood up and said, "No, I have to go. The dormitory closes at eleven."

Seeing this, Chen picked up his backpack and said, "No need, I will leave as well. Since I brought her here, it is only natural that I take her back. I have always been someone who sees things through to the end." He carelessly signed his name on the bill brought by the waiter.

The door of the private room opened from the inside, and Fan Congsi stepped out to see the two people with unusual expressions, startled. His eyes darted between them, unable to comprehend what had happened. "Tang Yi, you... you... what happened to you?" He never expected to encounter her here.

Li Zhe shook his head and sighed, saying: "Doing homework at KTV? Only he, Young Master Chen, could pull off something like this"

The two were chatting and laughing as they returned, only to find Chen standing at the door with a dark expression, not knowing who had angered him again. Before the two could say anything, he took the initiative to attack, shaking the assignment paper in his hand and shouting at Tang Yi: "What nonsense are you scribbling? Where did you run off to just now?"

Speaking of gratitude, it should be directed towards Tang Yi, for if it were not for her quick thinking in calling out for the teacher, those people might not have been scared away, and who knows what might have happened. Fan Congsi obediently allowed Aunt Han, the old housekeeper of the Chen family, to apply medicine to him, grimacing in pain.

The considerable commotion attracted the nearby patrolling security guards, who approached with flashlights to inquire

Tang stopped in his tracks, looking at him with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty

The establishment of the "Elite Talent Class" was initially indeed a secret weapon for the school. However, after the news spread, many parents, in their efforts to have their children transferred to the "Elite Talent Class," resorted to all sorts of means, including coercion and inducement. Although the school appeared to be very firm, it could not afford to offend certain wealthy benefactors, and thus had to take a step back to ensure a steady flow of funds. As a result, the current situation has emerged: one half consists of genuinely outstanding students, while the other half comprises unruly underperformers.

Standing in the middle of the road, Xia Wenqian's face was pale as she looked at the chaotic situation before her, panicking and unsure of what to do... It seemed that the unfortunate ones had been drawn into this...

Where is this? she murmured.

It seems like they are in a brawl said Xia Wenqian, stretching her neck and peering in

Tang was so angry that she stamped her feet and turned to walk back. She looked around at the unfamiliar street scene in confusion, darting through the crowd like a headless fly.

Tang ignored him, looking around, but there was no one. She walked to the corner and looked up to check the height of the wall, thinking that she could probably climb over by stepping on the nearby camphor tree. However, wearing a school uniform skirt felt somewhat inappropriate.

A group beating is also acceptable; the five of us can gang up on you alone

Fan Congsi said: "Don't pay attention to him. That guy got a good scolding from the teacher today and is in a bad mood. Everyone, keep your distance from him. Let's go back and sing."

The Chen family residence is located in the northern suburbs of Shanglin City, nestled between mountains and water, in a tranquil environment. As the taxi drives into the private road of the Chen family, a vast expanse of greenery suddenly comes into view, instantly dispelling the summer heat and evoking a refreshing sense of comfort deep within. In the distance, a complexly structured European-style villa is partially hidden among the lush and dense foliage, with a corner of its roof faintly visible.

"Do you know what is most abundant in the river above?" Chen Shang pointed at the surface of the river and asked her. Without waiting for her response, he leisurely added, "Ghosts, and most of them are female ghosts."

Who is there

Fan Congsi left after having dinner at the Chen family. Since both families' adults are often away from home for extended periods, no one called the school to inquire about the incident of their fighting

Tang frowned and, suppressing his anger, told him the correct answer

Teacher Chen, Teacher Chen! In a moment of inspiration, Tang shouted loudly, suddenly unleashing his voice. These students, who were usually unruly, still held a certain degree of respect for the director of education, Chen Zhixin, who was known for his 'devilish' reputation.

Tang Yi pushed around the cold shredded potatoes and the yellowing vegetable leaves on her plate, feeling a significant loss of appetite. She sighed and said, "When the school deceived us into coming here, they spoke so beautifully: three years of tuition waived, dormitories shared by two, meals provided with meal cards, and a monthly living allowance. But what is the reality? After one meal with meat, the next meal can only be vegetarian. The so-called living allowance is just a twenty-yuan fruit card to redeem fruit once a month; four apples cost fifteen yuan, and then you have to add two oranges just to make it look decent." As she spoke passionately, her voice involuntarily grew louder: "If we can't even fill our stomachs, how can we study!"

The two boys just now were supporting each other as they descended the steps from the "Aiwan Pavilion". Their heads, faces, and clothes were covered in dirt and grass clippings, making them look completely unrecognizable. The four of them, with eight eyes, met face to face unexpectedly. Tang Yi did not anticipate that they would be hiding in the pavilion and had not left, while they also seemed surprised that Tang Yi and her companions had returned.

Tang Yi, who was called out, only felt that he was unfortunate

Fan Congsi interrupted her, saying: "Don't mention it. I still haven't thanked you for what happened last time."

Zhao Mingyan said nonchalantly, "Hey, our teacher doesn't care about us at all." She is a student in the art class, studying music, tall and slender, with long curly hair dyed golden, casually piled on her shoulders. Her delicate oval face still has a bit of baby fat, which further enhances her youthful charm.

Hahaha ... ...

At the beginning, there were seventeen individuals, all of whom had an average exam score above 88. The teacher was also one of the best among the bamboo, and we accepted this fate. Why has it now turned into thirty-three individuals?" Tang Yi indignantly complained.

"Where exactly are we going?" Tang Yi followed closely behind him, feeling somewhat anxious as they approached the school gate

In class, Sun with a beer belly asked him: "Everyone has submitted their homework, why haven't you submitted yours?"

"Let's go." Chen tugged at her clothes and said casually, whistling along the way. Tang Yi followed him reluctantly.

Everyone squeezed onto the sofa, ringing the bell to call the waiter, eating snacks and drinking beverages, creating a noisy and lively atmosphere.

That afternoon, Tang Yi and Xia Wenqian finished their duty and went downstairs to take out the trash. From a distance, they caught sight of a group of students gathered in the bamboo forest behind the "Aiwan Pavilion," pushing and shoving each other, with occasional cries of distress echoing through the air

"It must be remembered." He is not afraid, but she is. She cannot afford to lose face.

At this moment, five or six tall boys emerged from the bamboo forest, all with a fierce demeanor and unfriendly expressions, their eyes fixed on the two girls in front as they asked: "Who are you?"

The two stood there in a daze for a while, seemingly still unable to recover from the shock they had just experienced. Tang Yi broke the silence and said, "Let's go, take out the trash, and then go eat."

Chen looked up impatiently from below and urged, "Hurry up"

What is it?" Tang looked puzzled.

"Today's events have caused you trouble," Chen Shang said apologetically, looking at Fan Congsi's pig-like face. He appeared terrifying, covered in blood, but in reality, it was merely due to his nose bleeding easily because of the dry weather

Xia Wenqian propped her chin on one hand and tilted her head, saying: "Do you recognize them? They look somewhat familiar, as if they are the new transfer students."

Chen Shang pushed him hard and said displeasedly, "What are you talking about? Go away." His eyes rolled, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face

Tang did not initially want to pay him any attention, but upon reconsideration, she thought that if she did not let him submit his homework, all the suffering she endured today would be in vain, making it even less worthwhile. She squatted by the coffee table and wrote out the answers, slamming them down on the table, "If you have any questions, ask me again"

Two boys stumbled out of the bamboo forest, one in front of the other. One of them, covered in blood and holding his nose, quickly ran past Tang Yi, bumping her with his elbow. He staggered across the lawn, blood dripping from the gaps between his fingers, and soon turned onto the main road lined with French parasol trees. The other boy, stepping onto the gravel path, missed his footing and fell face down with a thud, landing right at Tang Yi's feet. The first boy, seeing his companion fall, paused for a moment before hurriedly running back.

Chen ignored everyone, took his backpack off his shoulder, pulled out his math textbook, and held a ballpoint pen in his mouth. Seeing that the opposite compartment was dark and empty, he kicked open the door and turned back to shout at Tang Yi: "What are you still dawdling for?"

Someone has caught up with us

She has certainly experienced the sharp tongue of the other party

The manager glanced at him and said, "Arrange another private room for the reserved guests. You will bring some fruit and drinks in later. If they have any requests, try to accommodate them as much as possible"

Really, even taking out the trash leads to so many issues, what a ridiculous place!" Tang said, grumbling in dissatisfaction while eating.

"Would you like to join us in singing?" Fan Congsi invited

Tang Yi nervously swallowed, and when she turned around, the boys who had just been arrogant and fighting without regard for the law had all scattered like birds and beasts. She steadied herself and breathed heavily.

Tang Yi was left dumbfounded, fully aware that she lacked the ability to accomplish this task. She could only honestly stack a few bricks together, using them as a base to crawl up with all her might, grunting and straining until she finally managed to climb to the top of the wall. Sitting there, she looked down at the dark abyss beneath her, unable to suppress a wave of fear in her heart

He Xianyong, who had never known what a practice sheet was, leaned over and whispered, "It seems that not submitting the homework this time will not be acceptable. You have no idea how terrifying Beer Belly Sun can be"

Chen leaned against the door frame, hands in his pockets, and coldly said: "Do you think you are something special? What else can you do besides taking exams? You're short and ugly."

Yesterday, the newspaper reported that a young girl was raped and murdered, and her body was thrown into the river. The police retrieved the body from here.

Tang Yi returned to school so late for the first time that he did not expect the school gate to be closed. Even the door to the security room was locked from the inside. A faint light was visible through the gap in the curtains, indicating that the security guard had already gone to sleep

Everyone was having a great time, all saying that it was still early. She, disregarding the earnest pleas of the crowd, left with a very resolute attitude. How could she compare herself to them

The supervisor chuckled and said, "Do you know why our KTV is called 'Jia Shang'? It is named after someone. Just be careful to serve the little ancestor well when you see them in the future"

As Tang turned her head, Chen had already vanished without a trace. She hurried to the balcony and shouted down, "Hey, hey!" drawing the attention of several students.

Chen glanced at his watch; there were five minutes left until class was over, and he stood up to leave. Zhao Mingyan hurriedly grabbed him, saying, "It's the weekend today; let's go out together in the evening. Li Zhe will also come, so you should bring Song Si along." The four of them came from similar family backgrounds, grew up together, and often hung out in the same place.

The distance from the main entrance to the main building is quite considerable. The two individuals walked slowly along the winding cobblestone path. On either side, there were neatly trimmed expanses of lawn and flowerbeds arranged in regular geometric patterns. Along the way, the trees and flowers were lush, creating a canopy of greenery, and in the distance, there were structures such as rockeries, pavilions, and a swimming pool. The Chen residence is a private garden villa with a vast area.

"Doing homework." Chen Shang still wore a nonchalant expression.

The reason both parties are making such a fuss is neither for women nor for wealth, but merely to seize an outdoor table for table tennis. They are truly a group of willful young boys

Who

The new waiter displayed an expression of "I see now"

Oh, the grace of saving a life!" Fan Congsi exclaimed

What is there to be afraid of? Am I going to sell you? When doing homework, one needs to find a quiet place. Besides, even if I were to sell you, you wouldn't be worth much, so I can't be bothered to put in that effort

The KTV room was so loud that it felt like the roof was about to lift, yet the corridor was very quiet. She took a big, crisp, sweet bite of an apple and made a face at the tall mirror embedded in the wall. The corridor was winding and deep, with no end in sight, and the orange-yellow light shone down, warm yet bright. As she walked along, she looked around; some of the KTV room doors were not tightly closed, and the singing that leaked out was unbearable to listen to

One of the reasons why the reputation of No. 19 Middle School is poor is that nearly half of the students are studying the arts, unlike regular middle schools

Fan Congsi looked around the room and said, "This private room is much larger than ours, and the sofa is big and soft. Since you've finished your homework, how about I call a few of them over to play together?" With that, he excitedly went to call people.

He Xianyong turned to Chen Shang beside him and said with a sense of glee, "I told you, you can't escape. This is what you call being able to run away from the monk but not the temple."

Yuming Private High School, referred to by outsiders as the "Shelter for Rich Kids" or the "Concentration Camp for the Worst Students in the City," is officially named "Shanglin City No. 19 High School." In order to improve its admission rates and expand its influence among high schools in the city, No. 19 High School has resorted to deceitful tactics to recruit a group of outstanding new students from other schools, under the guise of the "Elite Talent Program Training Class." Tang Yi is one of the victims of this scheme. Since the first day she stepped through the school gates, thoughts of ending it all have occasionally surfaced in her mind, filled with regret for her poor judgment in trusting the admissions office staff.

Chen let out a scoff, tossed his backpack aside, leaped forward, and swiftly climbed up the wall with ease. Following that, he jumped down with a thud.

Once the manager left, he hurriedly asked the foreman, "Who is that boy, and why is the manager being so polite to him?"

Chen remained deaf to the situation. He chose not to engage, believing that she could do nothing to him

"Coward." Chen looked at her with a face full of disdain

What should I do, what should I do? Tang Yi blamed himself for not returning so late

"Do you really think you are good-looking?" she retorted sarcastically, her tone filled with an eerie chill. Although she was not particularly noticeable at the 19th High School, where art students made up half of the population, she stood out among the girls in the gifted class: a distinctive round face, a complexion as warm and healthy as yellow jade, large eyes, and full lips. When she spoke to others, she often smiled before saying a word, which inevitably gave off a hint of the gifted student's slight arrogance, yet she treated everyone equally. Compared to the tall Chen Shang, she was naturally shorter and smaller, but her limbs were long and her posture graceful.

Fan Congsi came out of the restroom and encountered Tang Yi, who was looking around. He smiled and said, "What are you doing here?"
