Chapter 871: Chapter 511: Invisible

Class Eight was in complete silence.

Ma Shicheng, oblivious to others, was calmly savoring his milk custard.

His deskmate, Wang Longlong, noticed and casually used a spoon to scoop out two red beans, dropped them onto his textbook, then grandiosely picked them up and put them into his mouth, smacking his lips:

"Brother Ma is right, wasting food is shameful. Who among us doesn’t have farmers as ancestors? We can’t forget our roots!"

Dan Kaiquan understood the intention of the "Dragon and Horse" duo, and besides, he also had a good impression of Huang Yuzhu.

One time after evening self-study class, it was his turn to sweep the floor. Guo Kunnan urged him to go outside and buy a pancake, lest the crowd got bigger later. In his dilemma, Huang Yuzhu took the initiative to take over the sweeping duty, allowing Dan Kaiquan to leave early.

As the saying goes, a drop of water in need, shall be returned with a spring in deed!

Dan Kaiquan raised the cup of milk custard, drinking like a hero, chugged it all down, spilling quite a bit onto his clothes.

Dan Kaiquan shouted: "Refreshing! Yuzhu, let’s see who can drink faster!"

Hu Jun was a step late, the performances were all done by the others. What was he supposed to do now?

At this critical moment, Hu Jun remembered his position as the life committee member. He skillfully redirected the trouble:

"Cough cough, everyone, please refrain from eating and drinking during self-study classes in the future, it’s not proper behavior. For example, Yu Wen drinking bubble tea, and the pearls spurting out from the nose, or Pang Jiao eating instant noodles, causing it to explode, and so on, I shall not detail any further."

His words made Yu Wen and Pang Jiao wish they could tear him apart.

Hu Jun was unafraid, admitting that Pang Jiao was unbeatable in strength, but he had the spider in his pocket, the mice raised under the boys’ dormitory, and the snake in the little garden.

His backups would show Pang Jiao that in this world, it’s not all about who’s stronger!

After some commotion by several people, much of Huang Yuzhu’s embarrassment had eased.

Huang Yuzhu turned around and showed a grateful smile towards the four-seated duo behind him, greatly alleviating his embarrassment.

Cao Kun and others, who previously showed a superior look, reigned in their expressions accordingly.

Tang Jing looked at Ma Shicheng and the others, disdainful in her heart. Such childish tricks, did they really think it could stop her?

She was going to shatter their advantage by herself!

Tang Jing’s mocking expression gradually disappeared, like a Sichuan opera face change, turning into a complaint. She leaned closer, speaking warmly:

"Yuzhu, is a cup of milk tea worth it? You got your clothes dirty. Next time, don’t take it. If the milk tea spills, it spills. I’ll buy you another cup."

As she complained, she took out a scented napkin and began to wipe the milk tea off Huang Yuzhu’s clothes with great care, well beyond an ordinary classmate relationship.

Huang Yuzhu was not one to hold grudges, or else he wouldn’t consistently do good deeds. Seeing Tang Jing’s intimate actions, Huang Yuzhu placed his hand in front of him, anxiously resisting:

"Don’t, don’t!"

Tang Jing leaned in further, continuing to help Huang Yuzhu clean his clothes.

Wang Longlong whispered harshly: "What a cheap woman!"

Dan Kaiquan agreed: "True."

Watching the scene, he couldn’t help but fantasize, if milk tea splashed onto his clothes, would Bai Yuxia help him wipe it?

The fantasy had just begun, Dan Kaiquan shuddered, exiting from that world; he was no longer the naive person he used to be. From today onwards, Bai Yuxia held no place in his heart!

Instead, there was a new girl—Lan Zichen.

Ma Shicheng observed Huang Yuzhu’s reaction, silently shaking his head.

...

Meanwhile.

Second Year, Experimental Class 1.

Following a redistribution, the liberal arts students of the experimental class and the lower-ranking students were removed, of course, with exceptions like Qi Tianheng.

Compared to a student like him who just went through the motions, top-performing students were the true focal point of Fourth Middle School.

An academic mercenary, Du Chuan, had been unwaveringly ranked third since the first monthly exam in the first year, with neither rise nor fall in his rank.

Even though the fourth spot frequently changed between Fang Qiuyue, Ding Shuyan, Shen Tianci, and Lin Zida, the third position was consistently held by Du Chuan.

This was exactly what Principal Yu of Fourth Middle School spent a six-figure sum to obtain such high-caliber content!

Even someone as smart as Ding Shuyan and as socially intelligent as Lin Zida had to admit that in the realm of academics, they couldn’t beat Du Chuan no matter what.

Tonight, during the last class, Experimental Class 1 held a class meeting.

The purpose was for new classmates to familiarize themselves with Class 1 and to share learning experiences.

Under the gaze of Wei Xiu Yuan, Dong Jiayi, Zhuang Jianhui, Yuan Xiaomao, and others, Du Chuan, whose demeanor seemed rather wooden, stood on the podium.

The class teacher, Hu Hou, stood to one side, clearing his throat, and said to Du Chuan: "You go explain to everyone why your grades can stay at third place, while your city ranking steadily improves."

Speaking of third place in the year, the class teacher Hu Hou felt a pang in his heart. As the homeroom teacher of the leading experimental class, it was such a disgrace not to have the first and second in his class! NovelFire

Du Chuan adjusted his glasses and straightforwardly said: "Why do I maintain third place in the year? The answer is actually very simple..."

The students watched his face, eagerly waiting for his second sentence, hoping to grasp a learning secret. Correct content is on NovelFire

Du Chuan simply stated: "Because I can’t catch up with the first and second rankings."

The classroom atmosphere instantly cooled down.

The homeroom teacher, Hu Hou, laughed awkwardly and remarked: "Haha, Du Chuan, you’re good. Being able to clearly understand the gap surpasses many people already. Keep it up, work hard."

He offered a few words of encouragement and left the class with a serious face.

Lin Zida shouted: "Chuanzi, what’s the matter with you? Look, the old teacher is angry."

Du Chuan: "I’m just speaking the truth."

He continued to share some learning experiences with everyone.

Hu Hou left Class 1 and passed by Class 8, feeling more and more aggrieved.

If you lack what others have, what do you do?

Of course, you poach them, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work.

Hu Hou returned to the office, where Guo Ran was grading papers at her desk, she greeted: "Mr. Hu."

Hu Hou responded, holding back his frustration, but after all, he was the homeroom teacher of Experimental Class 1, appointed for his own honorable skills.

He was magnanimous, if others have something he doesn’t, then he’ll cultivate one!

Today they just had a class meeting, and Hu Hou planned to invite Xue Yuantong to their class to talk about learning experiences, to see if they could enlighten a few top students.

Hu Hou didn’t act rashly, he consulted Guo Ran for opinions, and took a stroll through two more offices.

...

Xue Yuantong didn’t sleep tonight, she was openly playing with her phone, not the least bit worried about whether there were any patrolling teachers outside.

For no other reason than Dan Qingrong told her that after discussions with the principal, the academic director, all subject teachers, and Director Wang of the security office, they had granted her a special exemption to use her phone.

So she was able to play to her heart’s content.

"Mom, I’m almost out of school. Jiang Ning says he wants to eat grilled chicken wings and iced mung bean soup!" She messaged her mom.

Aunt Gu replied: "Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating, there’s nothing at home."

Xue Yuantong suffered verbal violence from her mom through the screen.

Her expectations fell through.

Xue Yuantong lost her spirits, placing her phone flat on the desk and swiping.

She not only played games but also liked to explore various flashy features. Xue Yuantong downloaded a newly released app from the app store, did a simple setup, and then raised her phone to take a selfie.

This magical app could simulate how one would look when they grow old based on a selfie.

Xue Yuantong selected the age of 70, uploaded the photo, and shortly after loading, an aged photo appeared in front of her eyes.

Xue Yuantong was overjoyed, she called over Jiang Ning and took a picture of him, after the app processed it, she told Jiang Ning that this is how he would look at 70.

Jiang Ning glanced at it and confidently said: "Fake."

Xue Yuantong: "But I think it looks similar."

Jiang Ning: "How is it similar?"

Xue Yuantong: "I’ll wait until you’re 70 to see if it looks alike."

Jiang Ning smirked: "I’ll scare you to death then."

Xue Yuantong didn’t believe it, when Jiang Ning turned 70, he’d definitely be a little old man.

She then sent the photo of her 70-year-old self to her mom: "Mom, look, this is me at 70."

At home by the river dam, the TV was playing a program while Aunt Gu was knitting, planning to make a winter scarf for her daughter.

After seeing her daughter’s photo, she disdained:

"A mess, really ugly."

Xue Yuantong: "Mom, you’re going to look like that too when you’re old."

Aunt Gu: "Nonsense, I won’t look that ugly."

Xue Yuantong laughed happily: "Hehe, I’ll wait and see later on."

At this moment, another message from her mom came: "Do you have more of your 70-year-old photos?"

Xue Yuantong wondered, thinking they were so ugly, why did her mom want to see more? She replied: "I just sent it, it’s right above!"

Aunt Gu clumsily typed: "Send more."

"Mom won’t be around to see what you’ll look like when you grow old."
