Chapter 6 (2/2)

As if seeing through what Tang Xiu was thinking about, Yuan Chuling gave Tang Xiu a few winks. If not for Tang Xiu’s soul returning back, which improved his eyesight, the wink that Yuan Chuling gave from his seemingly straight-line eyes would have been a waste of effort.

“This fatty is actually a genius.” Seeing the winking expression that Yuan Chuling gave, Tang Xiu immediately understood the reason why Yuan Chuling fell, and he couldn’t help but praise his high EQ.

Yuan Chuling only wanted to go against Yang Jian and not the whole class, but his actions previously were too arrogant, which may easily cause the rest to detest him. But after acting out his slapstick self-torture performance, the effect of Yuan Chuling’s arrogance and despotic actions had clearly been dissolved, and the favourable impression that he brought to the rest of the class would also be fresh in their minds.

“The whole school could hear your argument. Even if you don’t feel ashamed, I feel ashamed. Do all of you still have the image of a student?” Seeing that he had successfully intimidated the sixty over students in his class, Hu Qiusheng’s expression softened slightly.

He took a look at everyone in the class, causing the students to panic as they all lowered their heads in guilt. Only Tang Xiu, Yuan Chuling and Yang Jian had their chest held up without being intimidated by Hu Qiusheng.

Hu Qiusheng had a look of disgust as he cast his sight from Tang Xiu to Yuan Chuling. But when he laid his eyes on Yang Jian, a smile appeared, “Yang Jian, what exactly happened just now, why did the class made such a big ruckus?”

“Teacher, Tang Xiu did not attend last night’s self-study session and was even late for the morning self-study session as well, so I just told him off a bit. But after that, Yuan Chuling went to smash the chair and kicked the table, and even started criticising us that no matter how good our grades are, we will only just be an employee working under someone. Furthermore, he still said that dealing with us would only be a lift of a finger to him…” Yang Jian became very confident after having the main class teacher backing him up. Giving Tang Xiu and Yuan Chuling a side glance, he started explaining the situation, adding oil to the fire as well.

Hu Qiusheng did not like Tang Xiu and Yuan Chuling in the first place, so when he had finished listening to what had happened, the expression on his face when he looked at Tang Xiu and Yuan Chuling was filled with even more disgust.

“Tang Xiu, the results for last month’s monthly test are out, and do you know how much you got? 37 marks!” Hu Qiusheng’s eyes locked onto Tang Xiu as he started reprimanding him.

“Its 37 marks! The total marks for the test is 750 marks, but you actually got 37 marks! You are the first in the cohort if we count the ranking backwards, do you know how many people laughed at me because of this? If not for your mother kneeling down and begging me several times, do you really think that I would let you stay in this class?” Hu Qiusheng scolded Tang Xiu loudly.

“Every time you assure me that you will work hard and score better on the next test, but every time when the result comes out you are always the lowest in the cohort, and your results are getting worse and worse each time!”

“Tang Xiu, I have already sent in a request to the principal to have you expelled or at least have you switched to another class, our class is never going to continue having you here, or else I will quit my post as the main teacher of this class!”

****

Hu Qiusheng was roaring when he said those words, his facial muscles were warped up, and his eyes turned blood red as if Tang Xiu did an unpardonable crime.

Facing Hu Qiusheng’s scolding, Tang Xiu’s lips trembled for a brief moment. He wanted to explain himself, but gave up on that thought after he observed Hu Qiusheng for a while. He stood on the spot quietly, letting Hu Qiusheng reprimand him.

However, Yuan Chuling, who was standing beside Tang Xiu, had his face totally red, as if he had suffered a huge humiliation. His body kept on fidgeting while his mouth opened up a few times, wanting to defend Tang Xiu. But he was suppressed back by Hu Qiusheng’s imposing manner and was not able to speak up.

After scolding Tang Xiu non-stop for about 10 minutes, Hu Qiusheng’s pent up anger had almost subsided, and following that, he cast his eyes onto Yuan Chuling.

When he saw the indistinct mocking smile on the corner of Yuan Chuling’s mouth, Hu Qiusheng choose to ignore his existence before criticising the other students that were not performing well. Only when the bell for the end of morning self-study session rang did Hu Qiusheng stop his scolding and left hastily.

Although Hu Qiusheng had left, the classroom still had an intangible heavy atmosphere. Other than a few students who needed to go to the toilet, the majority of them were busy revising.
