DTTCM Chapter 73

In the silent classroom, a hand with distinct knuckles was raised high.

Teacher Li: “…”

Despite the significant disparity in the votes, he found himself in a dilemma.

Teacher Li unscrewed the lid of his thermos cup, sipped the scalding water, and said, “Well, historically, voting has always been a matter of the minority obeying the majority…”

Yu Zuojin: (Stare)

Teacher Li: “…”

He swallowed the rest of the words and returned them to his stomach.

No boss would submit.

Yu Zuojin remained expressionless, maintaining direct eye contact.

Teacher Li cleared his throat, wanting to discuss something with him. “How about…”

Yu Zuojin: (stare)

One minute later, there was a physics quiz paper on Yu Zuojin’s desk, while other students approached him with their exercise books, asking questions.

Teacher Li: Why talk about the minority obeying the majority? He has always been a good teacher who respects the wishes of each and every student.

The bell rang, signaling the end of class. Yu Zuojin had also completed his physics paper, which Teacher Li collected and graded on the spot.

Upon seeing the score of fifty-eight, Yu Zuojin: “…”

Teacher Li: “…”

What were you thinking when you answered it?

It was already a good thing that Yu Zuojin was studying. The score wasn’t good but Teacher Li didn’t care much about it. However, it was evident that the other party wasn’t very satisfied.

Teacher Li consoled, “It’s okay, you were just a little short of passing. There’s still some time before the college entrance examination. If you work hard, you might be able to get into a decent second-tier university, or maybe even a top-tier one.”

Yu Zuojin instantly froze in place.

Looking at the student who was deeply affected by his consolation, Teacher Li: “…”

You, my boy, are the Waterloo on my career path.

Teacher Li hastily took the physics paper and pointed, saying, “Look, the questions you answered correctly were the ones I discussed with you in the office before. You have a good learning ability, but you didn’t attend class much before, missing a lot of course material. With some effort, you can catch up with the majority.”

Yu Zuojin held the physics paper with a score of only fifty-eight, sinking into deep silence.

Sheng Yuan’s name was still posted on the honor roll in the lobby on the first floor. He was the top student in the senior year, with a score of 739 in the previous monthly exam.

The university that Sheng Yuan would attend in the future was not just a slightly better second-tier or top-tier one.

He wanted to move forward, towards the brightest place.

Unbeknownst to him, a distance had already formed between them.

But he had never thought about separating from Sheng Yuan.

Even the thought of it wanted to drive him insane.

After finishing his part-time job during the evening self-study period, Yu Zuojin never arrived late or left early. As long as he was in the classroom, he would study diligently.

Because Yu Zuojin spent his days immersed in the classroom, a large number of delinquents returned to attend classes at No.1 Middle School.

“Brother Qi, why is the boss suddenly attending classes?”

Qi Sheng stared at the two sitting in the back row of Class Ten with dark circles.

“It’s none of our business.”

The little brother wanted to cry but had no tears.

He didn’t want to get involved either.

He was in an internet café late at night, and now he had to wake up early for an 8 a.m. class.

Life is so hard.

Compared to the uproar caused by the delinquents returning to school in most of the classes, the delinquents of Class Six had long been accustomed to it.

During the fourth period in the morning, Teacher Xiao Tao walked in. “Everyone seems tired from studying lately, so I won’t teach you today. I’ll give you a class to play with the P.E. teacher.”

After Teacher Xiao Tao finished speaking, she closed her eyes with a smile, expecting cheers from her students. But to her surprise, there were no cheers or applause.

She opened her eyes. “What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy to go out and play?”

“Teacher, be honest, do you want a break during this class?”

Teacher Xiao Tao: “…”

How did they know?

The students of Class Six went to the playground for a long-awaited P.E. class.

The weather was nice today, without much wind.

Xia Zhiqi came over with a soccer ball. “Brother Sheng, want to play soccer?”

Sheng Yuan: “No, you guys play. I’ll keep score.”

“Okay.”

The boys chased each other on the field, while the headmaster came over to talk to Sheng Yuan about the winter camp.

Coincidentally, Xia Zhiqi seized the ball and took a shot. The ball hit the goalpost and instantly flew off, hitting the headmaster’s head.

Crack…

The headmaster fell to the ground.

“Iron! Head!!!”

This kick almost got Xia Zhiqi expelled from the school.

Fortunately, the soccer ball just grazed his ear, and the headmaster was only frightened and momentarily weak in the legs.

Iron Head sat on the ground, still trembling with fear.

That brat Xia Zhiqi actually wanted to kill him!

At noon, Sheng Yuan returned to Room 408 and saw Yu Zuojin studying formulas with his notes.

He was so engrossed that he didn’t even notice Sheng Yuan’s entrance.

He was really embodying the saying of being oblivious to external distractions and focusing solely on reading the words of sages.

Sheng Yuan silently approached him from behind.

Truly Ambitious suddenly spoke up.

[System: I advise you not to provoke him, otherwise, even if Jesus came down, you won’t be able to save yourself from bigu.]

Sheng Yuan: “That’s unfortunate.”

[System: ?]

Sheng Yuan: “This area falls under the jurisdiction of the Jade Emperor, not Jesus.”

[System: …]

Even if the Jade Emperor himself comes, he won’t be able to save you!

Sheng Yuan spoke from behind Yu Zuojin, “Classmate Yu Zuojin, you’re so serious.”

Yu Zuojin’s gaze shifted from the book to Sheng Yuan’s face.

Sheng Yuan looked at the faint dark circles under his eyes and raised an eyebrow. “You’re not resting even during lunch?”

Yu Zuojin didn’t say anything but continued to focus on his book.

Sheng Yuan didn’t intend to disturb his studying, but recently, it seemed like he was neglecting sleep and food for the sake of learning.

Seeing Yu Zuojin bury himself in his books again, Sheng Yuan contemplated whether he should make him take a compulsory break.

[System: You should let him rest.]

Sheng Yuan was skeptical, why would Truly Ambitious offer a sincere suggestion.

[System: Haven’t you heard? The more someone accumulates and endures, the more insane they become when they finally release. Making Yu Zuojin rest is not only good for him but also for you.]

Sheng Yuan: “What are you trying to say?”

[System: When he becomes accomplished, there won’t be a single day when your lips aren’t attacked.]

Sheng Yuan: “…”

Sheng Yuan reached out and tapped Yu Zuojin’s shoulder. “Stop studying and go to sleep.”

Yu Zuojin remained seated, unmoving.

Sheng Yuan looked at the stubborn back and squinted his eyes.

“Aren’t you going?”

Yu Zuojin didn’t budge.

“I wanted you to sleep on my bed today.”

-Screech!

The sound of the chair scraping against the floor.

Before his brain could process, Yu Zuojin automatically stood up.

He turned around, his pitch-black eyes looking at Sheng Yuan.

It seemed as if he was asking if it was really true.

Sheng Yuan: How could it be false!

Brother keeps his word!

A victorious smile appeared on Sheng Yuan’s face. “Are you going to sleep or not?”

Yu Zuojin: “Sleeping.”

Five minutes later…

Yu Zuojin lay numb on Sheng Yuan’s bed, while Sheng Yuan slept on his own bed.

[System: Don’t you feel guilty for deceiving a high school boy?]

Sheng Yuan: “Where did I deceive him?.”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

He didn’t!

Sheng Yuan, you’re now convicted of being a bad guy.

Sheng Yuan nestled in Yu Zuojin’s bed, covered by his blanket, and inhaled the pleasant scent of detergent.

He squinted his eyes comfortably, wondering if he would have the chance to sleep in a bed like this for the next half month.

“Where are you going?”

Sheng Yuan opened his eyes, realizing that he had directly spoken the thoughts in his heart.

Instead of resting, Yu Zuojin suddenly became wide awake and vigorously got up from the bed.

At this moment, Sheng Yuan had already merged with the bed beneath him. Even if the sky collapsed, he wouldn’t get up and lazily explained, “I’ll be attending a winter camp in a few days. I’ll probably be away for half a month. Remember to come back before curfew at night. Oh, by the way…”

Yu Zuojin: “I won’t go and find Xia Zhiqi.”

Sheng Yuan: “…”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

Yu Zuojin didn’t say anything after that, and lay down silently.

Sheng Yuan turned his head and looked at the shameless Yu Zuojin who was now sleeping in the same bed as him.

“…Classmate Yu, when did you become so shameless?”

Yu Zuojin’s voice was hoarse. “This is my bed.”

Meaning that he had the right to sleep it in.

In order to preserve his bigu, Sheng Yuan changed his tune, “Then it’s me who is shameless. I’ll go back.”

He sat up, but the next moment, he was firmly pressed down on the bed.

The other person’s breath enveloped him from above.

Sheng Yuan: Alert.jpg

Realizing the danger, he immediately wrapped himself in the blanket.

“I’m telling you not to mess around, or else I’ll shout, and Zheng Zilu next door will immediately come rushing over.”

In the next second, Sheng Yuan saw the disdain in Yu Zuojin’s eyes.

Yu Zuojin: Him?

Sheng Yuan: “…”

Please apologize to Zheng Zilu immediately.

The two of them clashed head-on, and the outcome was predictable. Sheng Yuan’s strength couldn’t surpass him at all.

So he gave up the option of using force to escape.

In these past few days, Yu Zuojin had been busy studying, so he stared at Sheng Yuan like a fierce wolf.

“I won’t touch you.”

Sheng Yuan smiled with delight.

I knew you were a good kid.

“You let me touch.”

Sheng Yuan: “…”

Damn it!!!

Before Sheng Yuan could agree, Yu Zuojin’s hand had already reached under the blanket.

“Just a touch.”

Sheng Yuan restrained him within the blanket, gazing at him with an examining look, attempting to awaken his conscience.

“Do you think what you’re doing is right?”

Yu Zuojin met his gaze for a few seconds, and then his large hand moved again.

Sheng Yuan:!

He has no conscience!

The fortress that was meant to be a defense by tightly wrapping himself in the blanket now became his own shackles.

Sheng Yuan’s face turned crimson inside the blanket.

He gritted his teeth. “Alright.”

However, that hand remained on his thigh.

Sheng Yuan tried to push it away, but the other party coldly stopped him.

“Don’t move.”

He couldn’t break free from the hand on his wrist at all.

Sheng Yuan clenched his teeth tightly.

“Ahh…”

The air instantly fell silent.

Sheng Yuan: “…”

Did he just make that sound?

Almost all the dignity he had in his entire life was lost in this moment.

Sheng Yuan’s face turned red. He looked at the stunned expression on Yu Zuojin’s face, lifting his leg to kick the bastard down.

Sheng Yuan pulled up the pants that Yu Zuojin had pulled down, his face red as blood, almost cursing out loud.

“What the hell are you touching, you damn pervert?!”

He got up from the bed and forcefully tackled Yu Zuojin to the ground, delivering a punch to his face. The strength wasn’t heavy, but the side of Yu Zuojin’s face did turn red from that punch.

Yu Zuojin raised his hand and touched the side of his face where Sheng Yuan had hit him.

Sheng Yuan’s red face didn’t subside.

Truly Ambitious was released from the blocking shield and heard Sheng Yuan’s loud cursing.

[System: Sheng Yuan!]

Sheng Yuan: “You beep-beep-beep!”

[System: Sheng Yuan! Stop cursing! Sheng Yuan!]

Sheng Yuan was still in a fit of anger. “What’s wrong?!”

[System: Haven’t you noticed?]

Sheng Yuan: “What?”

[System: It seems like he’s even more excited.]

Sheng Yuan: “…”
