VOL.04

Old woman, give it back to me! Give it back to me!

Why does it all seem predestined: In the new semester, I and Montai Yi just changed seats, Montai Yi once again sat back to my left, and now, Jin Yingming is sitting on my right, the three of us in our seats... miraculously returned to the original starting point

Jin Yingming, do not dawdle, come in quickly. By the way, you should sit in the seat to the right of classmate Ma Qiuxiu

Hoo.

It really is him! I heard a few days ago that he was going back to Zaochuan to teach, but I didn't expect it to be true!

... ...

Ah! Meng Taiyi exclaimed, but Sister Yuanai's "Shadowless Hand" had already been perfected to an extraordinary level, instantly snatching the notebook from Meng Taiyi's hand

The air in the classroom suddenly became as solid as a block of cement. The classmates glanced at the awkward Yu Ai on the stage and then at Jin Yingming, who stood straight in his seat, each unsure of how to react.

However, to my surprise, Jin Yingming seemed to be isolated from this world, ignoring Montaiyi and showing no signs of provocation

You shut up!

... ...

Montage One

Montaiyi, I... I... I... I was momentarily at a loss for how to respond

I was taken aback and looked up to see Sister Yuan Ai standing at the podium with a teaching stick in hand, her eyes sparkling with keen light behind the lenses!

It is indeed Jin Yingming

Jin Yingming

Silence ... ... Silence ... ...

"Cut it out! Ma Qiuqiu is really something!" I don't know who muttered a few words softly, and before turning around, they didn't forget to give me two super big eye rolls

What are you looking at?! My little sparrow is the future 'star of tomorrow'! Do not look at her with sidelong glances! Hey! You over there, the smelly little brat, I'm talking about you, lift your head too high, lower it for me!

I suddenly had a premonition, and indeed—

All eyes turned in unison towards the classroom door—black, tousled hair, a prominent nose, and a uniform buttoned up to the second button

Alright, class, let's begin! Before we start, I would like to introduce a 'new and old classmate.' Sister Yuan Ai placed the books on the podium, surveyed the classroom, completely indifferent to the discussions sparked by her peculiar term, and finally fixed her gaze on the seat to my right

Ah! Jin Yingming

Little Sparrow, last night Senior Yue said you left early because you were unwell. What is bothering you? I called you, but you didn't answer!

"Do not compare me to you! I do not like being made a fool!" Jin Yingming turned his head expressionlessly, "May I sit down now?"

Suddenly, a girl stood up excitedly, trembling as she screamed twice, and then unexpectedly fainted

The classroom instantly erupted in chaos, but Jin Yingming completely ignored the students' screams, maintaining a cold gaze and a numb expression, as if none of this had anything to do with him. He walked straight to his seat, put down his backpack, and then sat down

Before Montaigne could finish speaking, he was struck hard on the head by a teaching rod

Bang

Oh? Just now... the person who was laughing heartily... seems to be Montai Yi

Hehe... Hahaha!

"Oh? Classmate Jin Yingming, why are you raising your hand?"

Jin Yingming is really impressive

Not a single word from Sister Ai's lecture entered my ears; in my mind, the cold gaze of Jin Yingming and the words he spoke last night keep resurfacing

Perhaps what he said is correct, I should not indulge in such daydreams

... ...

Ah—who, who hit my head! How dare you disturb my beautiful dream! Are you tired of living!" Montai Yi suddenly woke up, jumped up from his seat, and shouted.

Is this... really Jin Yingming? Is this really the Jin Yingming who was so sparing with words and once hated English the most?

... ...

Hmm... this... right! Classmate Jin Yingming spoke very well. I was just testing everyone's discernment, so I intentionally made a mistake!" Seeing Sister Yuan Ai's face turning red and pale, I couldn't help but feel a bit anxious for her. "Haha, Classmate Jin Yingming indeed did not let me down! Haha..."

Sister Ai's magical voice echoed in the classroom once again: "Montaiyi! Copy this text twenty times after school! Also, no writing anything unrelated to English in my English class!"

Montai Yi! What are you laughing at?" All of a sudden, Sister Yuan Ai's teeth emitted a terrifying grinding sound as she began to approach Montai Yi step by step. The classmates in the class turned to look at Montai Yi with immense gratitude, as if they had discovered a "national hero," wishing they could offer him three sticks of incense in reverence

I turned my head in terror to look at the guy who was lying on the table, emitting a strange laugh. Montaiyi is being too exaggerated, isn't he? How could he suddenly appear at this moment to challenge Sister Yuan Ai's limits?

Wow—Jin Yingming is back

Who are you calling an idiot

"Dead rat, you come back just to come back, why do you still want to attend class?!" Montai jumped up and pointed at Jin Yingming, shouting, "That's right, you better not try to compete with me for the little sparrow! I can tell you, our little sparrow is now the future champion of 'Tomorrow's Star'! Champion! Are you envious, ha ha ha!"

As if oblivious to the discontented protests of his classmates around him, Montai Yi unabashedly made a sweeping gesture, akin to "sweeping away a thousand troops," towards those classmates who were pointing and whispering about us

Montage One

Bang

Everyone stared with their mouths agape at Jin Yingming, who spoke fluently for an extended period with impeccable pronunciation, his face filled with an expression of disbelief

Silence, profound silence

The answer to the question you just mentioned should be b. This is because "lively" means animated or vivacious, while "living" generally pertains to life. In the context of the question, "classes" refers to classrooms. Therefore, the correct choice should be b, not c

A surge of anger spreads through the air, oh no! The Triangle War of Bermuda is about to erupt again

Seeing my classmates in the class frightened and huddled by Montaichi, I buried my head even lower

The class bell rang punctually, interrupting Montai's words and allowing me to secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Sister Ai walked into the classroom with her lesson plan, and the classroom instantly returned to calmness

Shut up! Who just said the class teacher made a mistake! Sister Ai's fierce gaze once again scanned the classroom, just as her eyes were about to settle on a student, a clear laugh suddenly rang out in the classroom

Suddenly, Jin Yingming slowly raised his right hand

"Old woman, what are you going crazy about! I told you not to hit my head!" Montai angrily rubbed his poor head and suddenly shot a sideways glance at the still-standing Jin Yingming, "If there's nothing going on, why would you bother that guy? After all, he has gotten used to being beaten by you before!"

"Alright, Jin Yingming, take a seat!" Sister Yuan Ai stepped forward, walked up to Montaiyi, and snatched the notebook from his hand. "I will take charge of you today. How can you not even have a book to show me during class? What is this?"

I unconsciously turned my gaze to steal a look at Jin Yingming, whose face still bore no expression. Last night's conversation seemed like just a dream... He still did not look at me, as if I did not exist. I do not know why, but a feeling of loss spread uncontrollably from my heart...

Haha! You are absolutely right!" Montai placed his hands on his hips and laughed heartily, "My little sparrow, of course you have great abilities! Haha! By the way, little sparrow, you still haven't told me why you left without a word yesterday?"

Indeed, you were able to point out the mistakes of the class advisor!

Ding ling ling—

Hahaha—hahaha—what is this, he was just dreaming!

The atmosphere finally eased under the self-reconciliation of Sister Yuan Ai

The air in the classroom ceased to flow for two seconds, and then—

A new week of campus life has begun, and as seniors in high school, we seem to feel the pressure of the college entrance examination. Everyone arrives early for morning self-study, and the classroom is filled only with the rustling sound of pens during study time. I have been in a daze since last night, and it was not until Montai's loud voice broke the original silence of the classroom that I realized I was receiving a barrage of disdainful glances from those around me

My mind has not fully processed what is happening, and a burst of screams has erupted in the classroom. Everyone is immersed in an atmosphere of extreme surprise, except for me, who has buried my head even lower.

"Silence!" Sister Ai finally could no longer contain her anger and shouted, causing the entire class to shrink back in fear and not dare to make a sound. "Class monitor, you accompany the classmate who fainted to the infirmary, and the rest of you return to your seats and sit properly! Class is starting now!"

Understanding what was happening, the classmates erupted into a burst of laughter! Montaiyi, impatient, forcefully raked his somewhat disheveled hair, baring his teeth like an angry monkey as he glared at his classmates, and the classroom immediately fell silent.
