Chapter 227: From nothing to something

“So thin, so light, so little.”

It’s not at all like the first time where the smell was strong and choking and there was a feeling that your throat was sticking together.

It was obvious that he had let his brother rest for two days, so how come he hadn’t replenished his ammo at all.

Stolen?

Cheng Li lifted Cheng Ming’s blouse to take a look.

Nice guy, all strawberry prints.

You don’t have to guess who planted it.

Have Sister Jingyi and Brother progressed to the point of sperm retrieval? It’s really not to be underestimated.

You’re still in high school, so be conservative!

Not even places like my brother’s chest.

What happened last Friday afternoon made Cheng Ming’s already poor popularity rating completely fall to the bottom, becoming a public enemy of women.

After the weekend’s fermentation, there have been all sorts of deviating versions, even “Chen Ziyi found out Cheng Ming cheated on her, slapped a him and broke up.” This kind of.

Chen Ziyi’s suitors are on the prowl again.

“Xiao Ming, hand in your homework, you wouldn’t just be in love and not do your homework, would you, I can lend you a little bit to copy.”

“How can that be? A student’s job is to study.”

“Act close to me at school or it’s all over, okay?”

“Got it, Yui.”

“Little Ming, you have a fever?” Chen Ziyi asked as she touched Cheng Ming’s forehead incredulously.

“I’m fine.”

“Then why have you suddenly become so honest? You were reluctant to yell when I told you to before.”

“Didn’t you say last night that I figured something out?”

Chen Ziyi covered her mouth and snickered, “You’re not trying to turn a fake into a real one, are you?”

“We can’t turn the real into a fake, can we?” Cheng Ming said with his hands spread out.

“It’s time for me to go collect the others’ homework, I have to collect it and give it to the teacher before class.”

Chen Ziyi fell away clutching a handful of homework.

Forgive me if you’re smart, but you’re still a little girl.

After the routine class meeting, the class members then go to the office for a small meeting to set up the assignments.

The back chalkboard in the class is still empty, so we have to come up with a Fourth of July related chalkboard that has to be completed before the Fourth of July.

This year is also the year when the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day fall on the same day, once every nineteen years.

A board about the Mid-Autumn Festival is likewise to be put out, right on the bulletin board in the first floor aisle of the school building.

The task is quite heavy and time is tight, not to mention the busy academic schedule.

The Literary Commissioner asked for help on the spot.

“Do you know anyone in the class who can draw and write? Let them help, I’ll do the thinking.” The homeroom teacher asked.

Chen Ziyi raised her hand and said, “Teacher, I can draw, Cheng Ming and Xu Juan can write chalk characters, the three of us can be in charge of the Mid-Autumn Festival’s board, and for the National Day’s let the Literature and Arts Committee member find another helper.”

“I know how to draw too, let me help, being a class member means being a leader.” Zhou Li said unwillingly.

“Cheng Ming and Chen Ziyi stay for a bit, the other class members can go back to their classes to study and manage the class order now, don’t let them make too much noise.”

“Yes.”

Cheng Ming and Chen Zi Yi both knew in their hearts what they had been left behind for.

“Some students in the class told me that you two class leaders are leading a relationship, this matter shouldn’t be true, right?” The class teacher asked with a stern face.

Chen Ziyi said with a serious face, “Reporting to teacher, this matter is true, we are indeed talking about friends.”

“Uh ……”

Cheng Ming’s heart “thumped”, this is not the best time to lie to avoid the past? Also give the class teacher a step down, so as not to embarrass each other.

“Ahem, the two of you are class members and have good academic performance, you are role models for other students, you cannot take the lead in violating school rules and regulations, the teacher is also a person who has been here before, so I hope that you can take a good measure of the situation and look at the big picture, do not lose the big one because of a small one.”

“You are all good seedlings, look at the long term, it’s not too late to fall in love when you get into a major university, it’s the most important three years of your life. If you listen to what I say, let’s separate for a while, one of you will go to class five, both of our classes are sibling classes, the main subject teachers are the same, and the math teacher is also the class teacher of class five.”

“Otherwise it won’t end well when it gets to the teacher’s side of the office, and you guys don’t want to get your parents called, do you?”

Call the parents.

A killer that scares the hell out of students.

Of course, in this era of fearing early love like a tiger, it was already enough to give face to them by not scaring them with dropping out of school, and that’s on the basis of their family background and grades.

Honestly, it kinda sucks that both parents really have to know that they’re playing this fake couple game at school.

Cheng Ming’s side needless to say, mom was the first to knock him.

As for what Chen Ziyi’s family would think, Cheng Ming couldn’t guess.

When Jing Jing’s family was in trouble, Cheng Ming begged Chen Zi Yi’s family and indirectly took advantage of Chen Zi Yi’s mother’s kindness by not saying he had a girlfriend.

But after it was over, Cheng Ming said he had a girlfriend, and instead of alienating their family, Chen Ziyi’s family drew closer.

It is understandable that Dad and Uncle Tang are cooperating, but Chen Lan first accepts her sister as her goddaughter, and then pulls in her mom and arranges a job for her, Cheng Ming really can’t figure out what kind of medicine she is selling in her gourd.

The worst outcome would be a split class, and Cheng Ming would definitely have to be in the same class as Xu Juan. But Chen Ziyi wasn’t the one who would leave voluntarily.

“Don’t worry teacher, our parents are good friends and know all about us.”

Chen ZiYi is starting to put up a smokescreen, making the teacher think that both parents have agreed to them being together.

“As for the matter of class separation, I don’t think there’s any need to be in a hurry, wait for the results of the midterm exam to come out. If our grades slipped badly, we will separate ourselves without you reminding us, teacher, and we don’t have close contact in the class, we only talk about academic matters, if you don’t believe me, teacher can ask the class.”

Cheng Ming touched his cheeks, it was true that there was none in the class, Cheng Ming didn’t say anything the whole time, it was all handed over to Chen Ziyi.

“Well, the teacher also believes in you, and hopes that you can grasp the situation, help each other, and work hand in hand to get into the same major university.” The class teacher said bitterly.

She was young, but she wasn’t a rash.

Knowing that some students can’t be messed with or the parents of certain students would make it easy for her to lose her job.

“Thank you teacher for your concern.” Cheng Ming and Chen Ziyi said in unison, exiting the office side by side.

Chen Ziyi held her head in her hands and said, “Ahhh, there’s a villain in the class, actually reporting us.”

“Because we’re making too much noise, we’ll be watched and there’s nothing to be or not, students who fall in love, they hide it, how can we be so high-profile that we can’t wait for the whole school to know about it.”

Chen Ziyi turned around, hands behind her back, walking backwards and said, “If you don’t engage in this way, what else is the use of you as a shield, it is to use you to block the open fire and dark arrows.”

“In the end, it’s not your fault, being thrown two slaps by two women, when playing the game I saw you quite responsive ah, no injury ko me, how can you not walk in front of a woman?” Chen Ziyi asked in a puzzled manner.

“A game is a game, reality is reality, game skills can be practiced and backboarded, reality not to mention the physical factors, there has to be a reaction time, I didn’t even guess I’d get hit, how can I dodge?”

“Xiao Ming, you won’t intentionally do poorly in the midterm exam and then transfer to class five, right? Class 5 is the class that Ye Mei is in.”

“No way! Jing Jing has given me a deadly order to be under one person and above all others.”

“You like being under me that much?”

“Just you wait, one day I’m going to be on top of you.”

“I’ll wait.”

Chen Ziyi stopped at the stairway aisle and turned around, her ponytail brushing against Ming’s face as she hopped up the steps and stared back:

“By the way, you conceptualize the layout and content of the blackboard, the sooner the better, we need to hurry up and finish the task.”

“Designing layouts and finding materials this my be good at, but my chalk writing is ugly as hell, and Xu Juan hasn’t done much chalk writing either.”

“Who wants you to write? You’ll just help us buy water and be the chief logistics manager, Xu Juan’s writing is better than yours even if it’s bad.”

“The two of us will definitely be gossiped about when we work together on the blackboard, and with the addition of “Xu Juan”, our fake cousin, the gossiping will be less. You love being caught in the middle by a girl anyway, right?”

“Those who know me are small arts.”

“Wow, no, I can’t take it anymore.” Chen Ziyi clasped her hands on her shoulders, shivered and said, “Goosebumps are all over my body, you used to be thick-skinned, but now you’re incorrigible.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

Cheng Ming is a person who has been engaged in webpage and software design, it is not too easy to conceptualize a small blackboard newspaper.

It’s not competing for awards anyway, as long as it’s not too ugly.

I went to the office to get two boxes of chalk, one colored and one white, and then I borrowed a straightedge, a triangle and a compass for the blackboard from the math teacher, and was repeatedly told not to break them.

With the task of publishing the blackboard, Cheng Ming, Chen ZiYi and Xu Juan were able to sneak out of the classroom openly and honestly during the study sessions.

The first step is to compose a picture, to distinguish which area is for writing and which part is for drawing.

Chen Ziyi took out the newspaper and spread it on the floor, pulled Xu Juan to sit down with her legs crossed and watched Cheng Ming draw straight lines on the blackboard.

Not many people read the newspaper they subscribe to, and the biggest use for it is to be used to clean the glass at the weekly cleaning.

“You guys don’t just watch, it’s good to help me hold the ruler.”

Xu Juan was about to get up when Chen Ziyi yanked her back.

“We can’t spoil him.”

Apart from the title’s ‘Golden Autumn and October’ and the song ‘Song of Water’, all of Cheng Ming’s other designs were dismissed by Chen Ziyi.

You also have to draw maple leaves, a full moon, and the Jade Rabbit.

However, the Water Song is still too famous, it is supposed to be a compulsory ancient poem, and after glancing at the other classes’, there are at least five or six classes that use it, and there are other classes that haven’t written it yet.

“Replace it with Li Shangyin’s Frost Moon, the poem also has Cindy, it’s already not bad either.” Chen Ziyi suggested.

“But the Frost Moon refers to the seventh month of the lunar calendar, which doesn’t match our golden October, does it?”

“Golden October means the tenth month of the new calendar, ah, no one knows what the frost moon means anyway.”

“Don’t treat everyone like they’re illiterate.”

“Then it’s good to use Su Shi’s Mid-Autumn Moon, relatively few people know about it. And it was written by the brothers when they reunited for the first time after seven years to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together, so it’s a perfect match for the Water Song.”

“You’re pretty knowledgeable, you’ve looked up a lot of information, haven’t you?”

“That’s for sure, I’m a perfectionist, if I’m going to do it I’m going to do it to the best of my ability, please Xu Juan write it again, this lyric is much shorter, just draw another rabbit in the empty spot.”

After using two periods of study hall, and two half-periods of gym class, the chalkboard was mostly done.

Xu Juan’s task has been accomplished. The chalk writing is square and middle of the road.

The lace in the font area is all painted, just need the maple leaf, the full moon and the rabbit.

If you simply apply the color once and forget about it, Chen Ziyi preferred to paint texture and had nothing to do.

National Day holiday, it seems to have seven days, but in fact, the transfer of classes to make up for the holiday, really to the hands of the holiday is not so much.

Instead of two holidays crashing together and not being consecutive, the smaller holiday was eaten up by the larger one.

Next week is going to be a full seven days of classes with no weekends.

“Ming, are you free Saturday morning?”

“There is.”

“It’s not too much to ask to lend you a morning to work on the board with me, is it? There’s study hall and gym class next week, but let’s not have a long night. If the P.E. teacher is full, the teacher from Labor and Skills comes to class, and the study hall is taken up by the math teacher, we won’t be able to draw or play.”

“I don’t know how to paint, so I can’t help you if I come.”

“I need someone to hold the chalk, wipe the blackboard and serve tea for me ah, and someone to chat with me, how boring it is to be alone.”

“Can’t you let Xu Juan accompany you?”

“Does Xu Juan look like someone who would chat? Saturday morning at eight-thirty, out of sight, out of mind.”

The playground after school on Friday afternoons was particularly busy, with a wall of people gathered around, foul language curses of greetings to the ancestors, whistles of uproar, and cries of girls.

“You guys need to stop fighting.”

“There seems to be a lot of activity over there, let’s go check it out.”

Chen Ziyi braced herself on Cheng Ming’s shoulder and jumped in place, wanting to leap over the wall of people to see what was going on inside.

“Don’t look at it, it should be just bloodthirsty boys fighting over women, there’s nothing to see, watch some movies are more exciting than student fights.”

This kind of jealousy can be all too common.

Boys who play basketball are easily attracted to girls, are physically fit, and have brothers who play together, and often it develops into a big melee with multiple people, shaking people up from inside the school to outside the school.

In his previous life, when he was studying in the third high school, Cheng Ming also as the so-called “brothers” to participate in the war, in a certain grove, hill about the war, a see each other hand with a guy, without saying anything directly bugger is, can not fight is not fight.

Meet the next day to rub some safflower oil on your body, the heavier the smell the better, and put a couple band-aids on it and act like you’re seriously injured.

It’s so stupid.

Cheng Ming grabbed Chen Ziyi’s arm and dragged her arm towards the school entrance, while the other hand held Xu Juan’s hand so that she wouldn’t get lost.

Cheng Ming didn’t want to get caught up in unnecessary trouble.

Especially someone like Chen Ziyi who comes with a troublesome constitution.

“But it’s fresh, I’ve never seen a student fight up close.”

“You like watching fights so much, why don’t you organize a tournament and make sure you see it through.”

“No, I’m afraid you’ll be killed.” Chen Ziyi backhanded Cheng Ming’s arm and said, “You’re the one Jingyi and I borrowed, if it breaks, I can’t afford to pay for it.”

Cheng Ming wanted to let go but it was too late, he couldn’t even shake off Chen Ziye’s arm.

It was a good thing that the attention of the people on the playground was on the fight, even the janitorial security guards ran out onto the playground to arrest them, and no one cared about them.

The moment she stepped out of the school entrance, Chen Ziyi took the initiative to let go of Cheng Ming’s arm, and it was as if their relationship was only established at school.

“Cheng Ming, I look forward to tomorrow.”

“The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.”

“It’s hard to be satisfied if it’s from one to a hundred, but easy to be satisfied if it’s from nothing, and it’s easy for me to be content now, but it’s hard to say later.”

“Speak human.”

“So you’re not a proper person anymore?” Chen Ziyi laughed softly without a mouth, “Xu Juan, see you next week, Cheng Ming, see you on the phone tonight.”
