Is this old man really Sister Qian’s father? Holy crap! Does that mean Sister Qian is the mayor’s daughter?
Sister Qian’s surname is Zhao, and this Mayor Zhao Tianfang’s surname is also Zhao. I should’ve noticed it earlier.
Now I understand why Wang Tong was wary of Sister Qian and why the previous principal didn’t dare to touch even a hair on her head. Offending the mayor’s daughter is like a dung beetle entering a latrineāasking for death!
Sister Qian was all affectionate with her father, holding his arm as they walked toward me.
Damn! I looked at Zhao Tianfang with jealousy. Even if he’s Sister Qian’s father, I can’t stand it! The one being held should be me, shouldn’t it?
“Our little hero seems to be looking at me with some hostility!” Zhao Tianfang walked up to me and said with a smile.
“Dad, stop joking with Xia Tian!” Sister Qian laughed and pointed at Zhao Tianfang, saying, “This is my father.”
“Hello, Uncle!” I bent over slightly, gritting my teeth as I spoke.
“Principal Wang, Xia Tian and I have some matters to discuss. What do you think?” Zhao Tianfang asked as he looked at Wang Tong.
Wang Tong quickly understood what Zhao Tianfang meant and hurriedly said, “I have something to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first.” He turned and ran off as soon as he finished speaking.
Meanwhile, a sense of doubt started to grow in my mind. What is this old man up to?
“I’m here mainly to thank you for saving my daughter,” Zhao Tianfang said as he gave Sister Qian a doting glance.
Although his expression was normal, an evil thought popped into my mind.
I shook myself out of my fantasy quickly.
I scratched my head and smiled, “It’s nothing. I wouldn’t let Sister Qian get hurt.”
“I’ve already recognized Xia Tian as my little brother,” Sister Qian explained from the side.
Zhao Tianfang smiled, “Then I am truly blessed!”
I’m glad you know! I thought to myself but still smiled and said, “Not at all, having such a beautiful sister makes me happier than anything.”
“How do you find my Qian Qian?” The old man suddenly stepped in front of me and asked softly.
I was a bit taken aback by his question. I glanced at Sister Qian and subconsciously replied, “She’s great, very beautiful.”
Zhao Tianfang laughed heartily after hearing this and repeatedly said, “That’s good! That’s good!”
Damn! What does this old man mean? If it weren’t for his position as mayor, I might’ve thought he was crazy, always saying things that I can’t make sense of.
“Dad, what are you two talking about?” Since Zhao Tianfang and I were talking in low voices, Sister Qian didn’t catch our conversation.
Zhao Tianfang smiled, “Nothing much.”
“Dad, it’s been a long time since we’ve had a meal together. Why don’t we take this opportunity to go out for a meal?” Sister Qian held onto Zhao Tianfang’s arm again, pouting a little.
This sight made me grumble in my heart again.
Seeing Zhao Tianfang nod, Sister Qian was filled with excitement and then looked at me, saying, “Xia Tian, do you want to join us?”
“I’ll pass. The college entrance exams are coming up, so I’ll focus on studying!” You two should enjoy your father-daughter meal; there’s no point in me tagging along.
Sister Qian heard what I said, patted my head, and sighed, “You’re finally growing up…”
“I’ve been grown up for a while now!” I replied helplessly.
After Sister Qian and Zhao Tianfang left for their meal, I returned to the classroom.
“Reporting!” I called out as I returned to my seat.
“You’re amazing, deskmate!” Sun Jing whispered to me with a smile when the teacher wasn’t looking.
I smiled and pretended to be proud, “Of course, do you even know whose deskmate I am?”
“You’re so annoying!” Sun Jing gave me a playful shove before focusing back on her textbook.
With Sun Jing keeping an eye on me, I had no choice but to take out my textbook and start reading. I couldn’t understand a word the teacher was saying, so I just memorized the formulas, trying to cram them in. My foundation was too weak, and unless I had some kind of cheat, there was no other way for me to soar. Even though my mental strength had significantly improved, it only enhanced my memory.
After school, I rushed to the cafeteria with Zhang Yu and Fatty. If we were late, we’d have to wait in line. Fatty said the food had improved a lot after the cafeteria’s recent renovation, and since Fatty thought it was delicious, the taste couldn’t be bad.
My speed was the fastest in the entire school, so I arrived at the cafeteria first. Zhang Yu and Fatty were much slower. By the time they arrived, the place was already packed, so they gave me their money to buy the food. I got three portions and found a spot to sit down and eat.
“Where’s the change?” Zhang Yu asked as he ate and looked at me.
I raised an eyebrow, “That’s the delivery fee, get it?”
“Damn!” Zhang Yu and Fatty cursed simultaneously.
“Speaking of which, the reception the whole school gave me today was quite a spectacle!” I boasted, but Zhang Yu raised an eyebrow and said dismissively, “Do you think we wanted to? If it weren’t for Wang Tong’s orders and the promise of three days off after welcoming you, who would have time to deal with you, idiot?”
Damn! So that’s how it was.
Anyway, the food in the cafeteria is really good. Although there are only ten days left before we leave the third middle school, at least we’re leaving some benefits for the juniors.
After eating, I had nothing to do, so I lay on the bed playing with my phone. I surfed the web for a while, got bored, and started reading a novel. This has been my spiritual sustenance for the past two years at the third middle school.
“Xia Tian…” Just as I was engrossed in reading, Zhang Yu’s voice suddenly came over. I casually responded, “What?” but my attention was still focused on my phone.
“Do you think that after the college entrance exams in a few days, the three of us will be separated?” Zhang Yu absentmindedly lit a cigarette. The other roommates were all studying in the classroom to prepare for the exams, so it was just the three of us in the dormitory. This time, no one complained about him smoking.
I had considered what Zhang Yu said but didn’t want to bring it up.
In the two years I’ve been at the third middle school, I’ve only gotten along well with Zhang Yu and Fatty. As for the others, remembering their names is enough. Zhang Yu and Fatty hold a special place in my heart.
“Don’t worry about it. Why bring it up? It’s such a pain!” I cursed and didn’t say anything else.
Zhang Yu didn’t mind me cursing him this time and continued, “Why don’t the three of us sing ‘The Brother Who Sleeps Above Me’? It’s the one by Lao Lang.”
“Are you trying to scare me to death? There’s no one sleeping above me!” I found an excuse to avoid the topic. The thought of parting made me feel awful, especially since I don’t have many friends. But I’ve never complained about having few friends; having Fatty and Zhang Yu is enough.
“You’re such a buzzkill!” Zhang Yu cursed, then turned to Fatty and said, “Fatty, that idiot won’t sing. Let’s you and me sing!”
“Snore… snore…” The only response was Fatty’s endless snoring.
“Damn!” Zhang Yu was speechless this time and gave up on the idea of singing. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
I chuckled, turned off my phone, and went to sleep as well.
“Damn it! You didn’t even set an alarm!” Zhang Yu cursed as he hurriedly put on his shoes.
I wasn’t pleased to hear that and replied while putting on my clothes, “You didn’t set it yourself, and now you’re blaming me.”
“Damn! You were the last one to sleep, so if you didn’t set it, who would?” Zhang Yu finished putting on his clothes and looked at me helplessly.
I tied my shoelaces and said to Zhang Yu, “Stop arguing. Let’s wake Fatty up first!”
At this point, Fatty was still sleeping soundly. He was really calm.
“Fatty?” I called out to him, but he just rolled over and went back to sleep.
“You can’t wake Fatty up like that…” Zhang Yu pushed me aside, kicked Fatty, and said, “This is how you do it!” Fatty woke up immediately after being kicked, looked around in confusion, and asked, “Was there an earthquake?”
“Earthquake, my ass! We’re already ten minutes late for that tiger of a teacher’s class!” Zhang Yu cursed.
“To be exact, it’s been thirteen minutes and twenty-six seconds! If you sleep any longer, we’ll be even later.” I glanced at my phone and said. Of course, I made up the twenty-six seconds.
Fatty paused, then cursed, “Damn!” He quickly got dressed, and we rushed to the classroom together.
