Chapter 61: Want to cry!

Eat your ass.

Director Wang didn’t have a good expression. His mouth moved a little as he tried to restrain his outburst. In the end he could only say solemnly: “Every one of you write a 1000-word reflection essay and hand it in to me tomorrow. No exceptions.”

“Huh? Why?” Everyone had thought that they had managed escape the crisis and complained with dissatisfaction.

Director Wang coughed a few times seriously, “You should all know the reason yourself. Make sure you write the reflection essay seriously. Okay, everyone go back to your own rooms. It’s time for lights to turn off!”

Those who weren’t from the room could only leave sullenly. However, it was actually a pretty good outcome considering the fact that they didn’t get it marked next to their name. They even managed to see the usually stiff director Wang be at loss for words.

Something like a reflection essay was something that they had written many times. How hard can it be to write it again?

I fully understand my mistake. I shouldn’t have been so reckless to celebrate my classmate’s birthday and disrupt the peaceful learning environment at the dormitory. Next time, I should discuss with the teacher in advance before I do anything like this. I should also remember to invite the teacher over to have some cake.

Perfect.

All they had to do was to expand on the above content, particularly the part where they admitted to their mistakes to fully express their sincerity and demonstrate to their teacher their desire to correct their attitude.

Director Wang also saw their sincerity and so he asked their respective class teachers to also punish the boys to one week of cleaning duties.

Because this incident was caused by Huang Shao, he felt that the others were punished because they were trying to help him, so he happily took up most of the cleaning duties. But Jiang Yang and the others didn’t give him any face. They called him crazy and directly picked up the mops and brooms and proceeded to start cleaning.

Cleaning duties may be troublesome, but it wasn’t something that they wouldn’t want to do. If everyone worked together, they would be able to finish it up quickly. Compared to cleaning duties, writing reflection essays were more troublesome. This was particularly the case for Xiao Yuxin. As a completely innocent bystander, he didn’t know what was going on and then it suddenly ended. As a good student, he had never written a reflection essay, so he didn’t even know where to start.

Huang Shao came over and glanced at what he wrote. He grinned and said: “You can’t write like that. Let me teach you. I have lots of experience.”

The other students looked at him and were at loss for words. Was this something that he should feel proud about?

Since it was a week of cleaning duties, they were also naturally responsible for it on Friday. The others could pack up and head home, but they were required to stay behind to clean up. They felt very miserable.

However, Qin Xu was definitely not one of them.

He didn’t mind being able stay at school a little longer. After all, it was more difficult for him to invite Jiang Yang out during the weekends when he’s at home. He had always used the system as an excuse to invite him out and if he used it too often, Jiang Yang would get suspicious. Qin Xu also didn’t want Jiang Yang to get close to him only because of the system.

Qin Xu took the initiative to take up the same job as Jiang Yang. He picked up the mop and happily followed him to the bathroom to wash it.

When you’re with someone you like, even something as boring and troublesome as cleaning would seem interesting and you would even hope that time would pass a little more slowly.

There were only several of them left in the classroom. With the classroom now empty, they were free to do what they wanted. Huang Shao even sprawled over the podium and secretly turned on music from the computer to play while they worked. The exciting and up-beat tempo excited the boys and they became even more energised.

Suddenly, Huang Shao thought of something. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something but, seeing that Jiang Yang was there, he secretly glanced at him a few times and waited until Jiang Yang left the room to wash the mop. Only then did he sneakily speak up with a smile: “Speaking of which, Xu brother only randomly made the lie up to save me but now that I think about it, Xiao Yang Yang’s birthday is actually coming up.”

Qin Xu who was prepared to also leave the room to follow Jiang Yang stopped his steps and looked back at Huang Shao.

Huang Shao realised: “That’s right. Xu brother probably didn’t know about it. Jiang Yang’s birthday is……….”

Qin Xu however interrupted him, “I know. It’s next Tuesday. I’ve already prepared his gift.”

Huang Shao was surprised: “What? What gift?” He no longer cleaned the blackboard and looked at Qin Xu with great curiosity.

Qin Xu however maintained the mystery. He knocked onto the table with his knuckles and just smiled, “You’ll find out on the day.”

Was it a secret surprise?

Huang Shao was even more curious, but he looked at Qin Xu’s smiling face and couldn’t help but think that there was some hidden intent behind it. What on earth did he prepare?

However, Qin Xu continued to keep his mouth closed. This only made Huang Shao’s heart tickle with curiosity all the more. Huang Shao had always been this kind of stupid and straightforward kind of person and it was very hard for him to hide things. When Jiang Yang returned back with the mop, his expression was very obviously stiff despite his attempt to act like nothing had happened. He was afraid that Jiang Yang would suspect him and even ran over to Qin Xu’s side to act as if he was chatting with him very cheerfully. Unfortunately, the scene looked even more awkward like that.

Jiang Yang was too lazy to comment and just silently rolled his eyes. He continued to mop the floor and leave a wet path behind him. With several boys working together, they managed to get everything done quickly.

The job Xie Zhe was responsible for was done quickly and, seeing that they others were almost done, he didn’t help out and just sat down to play on his phone for a while.
