3 I Turned Into A Four Eyed Panda

Not learning a subject because you dislike that teacher and get bad grades, who bears this outcohable and childish but it’s the only method we know

Although , I didn’t I have no regrets towards this vicious old witch

After going throughincident, all fear I had towards her turned into extreme hatred In her classes, I brazenly started to sleep on the desk or read novels If she threw a piece of chalk at h and stare fiercely at her Don’t you want me to listen to the lesson? Then I will now ‘concentrate deeply’ and listen I stopped doing my homework Since she thinks that I copy, then I have to uphold this false reputationso Imy maths homework and copy it all instead

Perhaps things in the world are like this, the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the perverse and the perverse are afraid of those who don’t fear dying Although at the ti definitely wasn’t s to risk everything without fearing death, gradually, Teacher Zhang stopped bothering me

What was funny yet sad hen I first wanted to copy homework, I wasn’t able to find homework to copy In this class, I had no friends, everyone who I could borrow ho in front, back, left and right ofbitterly inside of Teacher Zhang thinking too highly of ered over and without a sound, threw his homework on my desk

I wasn’t able to react for a moment and stared at his ho that I didn’t want to copy his homework, he said annoyed: “I copied Chen Jin’s work” Chen Jin was our class’ gifted youth, he always got full marks for maths and even if he did a test with his eyes closed, he was still be able to beat everyone by a long way

I i Not knohy, I felt very grateful inside but I wasn’t able to say “thank you” With my head buried in the homework, I said in a small voice: “If you did it, I would still copy it” He snorted sardonically I don’t knohat he was being sardonic about

I thought that he had already walked off but after a long time, his voice suddenly came from the top of my head: “Is there anyone who copies like you? Please! Can you at least slightly adjust it?” I ie it and after I was done, I looked up to ask if it better but he had already long gone

–First paragraph talks about the spread of Taiwan and Hong Kong’s pop culture into Mainland China and the drama characters they were in love with, how Luo Qi Qi secretly sneaked up to watched dramas when her parents were asleep and how her classmates would fervently discuss it the next day–

Aers were the roup Their stickers and posters were spread around the class and all the girls would discuss theers had fans and as the best looking was a much debated topic Their cassette tapes were passed around the class, the guys and girls all hummed the tune to ‘Green Apple Park’, ‘Date of the Stars’ and ‘Love’

As I had no friends, I could only enjoy these from a distance My only friend were books, all kinds of different books and as long as I could getto end, no matter if I could understand it or not When the temperature arm, I could randomly choose a place to read but when the teo

I acquired a strange hobby: regularly going to the gae flavored soda, sit curled in a corner reading a book and take a tiny sip after a while so by the time I leave, I’d have exactly one last sip left To be honest, I didn’t like that orange juice one bit, but inside e standard When I buy a cup of juice, it would see, I have spent ht to sit here and read novels

As tiradually beca pool last tiame is the owner of the business, surname Li, the people around him all call hier called Xu Xiao Bo, he goes to the best middle school in our city, everyone calls him Xiao Bo [Little Bo]; the other was older than him, surnaoes to technical schoolChina’s technical schools could in a way be called “camp for bad students” as it is the place where those who aren’t able to pass entrance exao

In the beginning, when I went to the store to read, Xiao Bo’s belly nearly burst fro, Wu Zei looked at me, his face stated ‘unbelievable’ and he had a ‘you have a mental problem’ expression He crazily mocked me but noTo a person who doesn’t want to go hoood place to stay Although there were many people, they didn’t look atallowed me to be at peace

Brother Li was actually used to seeing situations like this and didn’tHe only s” Having the boss’s acceptance, I stayed in the game house with a peace of mind

In the gaends Old and New’, ‘Dreaht Immortals Cross the Sea’, ‘Expedition to the East’… Of all the books,so I re is a wuxia writer]

When I read, I’ would be completely absorbed n the story There were some books that I couldn’t stop until I had finished so I would stay up late reading with a torch inside the blankets As I read more and more books, the words on the blackboard turned more and hted when I needed to sit close to the television so they took lasses

When I went to the ga to look after the store froze for ato work indifferently As he worked and worked, he couldn’t resist anyhed for a while, he straightened up and continued to work indifferently

When Wu Zei sawi to Xiao Bo: “This four eyed little sister won’t hted anymore”

None of the people there were shortsighted, I was a rare animal and as Wu Zei mocks: “Intellectual! National treasure! National treasure!” National treasure was an extendedfor panda, later, Wu Zei started to directly call er, he was still able to call roup of people

In prilasses Ironically, I was last in the class [in terlasses and be “four eyes” Once, e changed seating, I was on the salasses and couldn’t help but ask: “How did you beco TV”

As I co, I was a stupid book loving idiot in Xiao Bo and Wu Zei’s eyes

The gas Once, when the Little Tiger’s ‘Green Apple Park’ started playing, I suddenly raisedvery attentively Xiao Po asked ers?”

I shook ain, I haven’t even listened to their cassette tapes before, hoould I know if I liked them or not?

Wu Zei laughed: “Four eyed panda has turned stupid fro, she doesn’t even know likes or dislikes anymore”

I glared at hi

When it was time for me to leave, Xiao Po handed me a used cassette tape: “For you” The cover of the cassette tape were the Little Tigers I took it and happily looked at it for a while before putting it down, silently looking at hihed: “This is for primary kids to listen to, we don’t listen to it much It’s already old, even if you don’t want it, we’ll probably throw it soet about it”

I retook the cassette tape and without saying “thanks”, I ran out of the gaed our little sers repeatedly, hu the tunes that my classmates had hus I had not heard clearly in the past In ers , as if I wasn’t the bad student my classmates had excluded

When ers, she ca ot it from

I save it to me When I said the word “friend”, there was an indescribable warmth inside my heart That year, I didn’t understand what it was but I subconsciously knew that it was a very, very precious thing

One afternoon, I was curled up inside the ga around me Occasionally, there would be the sounds of soame

I contently raised up e juice to drink when all of a sudden I heard the sound of crying fro cries that could scare evil spirits aere too familiar, whenever e, first soft, second back away and third agree to everything

Who else could it be other than my delicate little sister?

I cal not to hear, loweredHowever, this was the outside world, little sister’s cries won’t be able to call dad and mom here, there’s no one to spoil her and satisfy her every want, so after a fewso breathless that she was possibly ready to faint at any moment

Wu Zei was unable to stand the brain haunting sounds any longer, he lifted up the door blinds and looked outside Although my head was still down, I couldn’t help but look towards the outside

Two girls wore e blockedlittle sister for pocket money, perhaps little sister had offended some classmate so the students had come to teach her a lesson Little sister’s class to fart The two girls were speaking viciously to little sister but little sister took no notice of what they were saying, only raising her head up to the sky and cried loudly The scene was very comical

Based on little sister’s style, they probably haven’t finished what they wanted to say, as soon as they looked viciously, little sister started bawling loudly to the skies The two girls had not even got to the point yet they’ve already attracted a bunch of bystanders They kept ordering little sister to close herbut they didn’t understand my little sister, not only did she not listen to theirl probably thought that her reputation would be severely da shaive little sister a slap

I kept tellingto do with me” but when I saw her slap, before I had realized, I had already charged out the door like an angry bull Using Wu Zei’s words afterwards, he had only felt a murderous aura pass by his side and when he looked clearly, I had already brought down the girl

I lowered ht into her chest Girls of that age were still developing breasts so getting hit hard, she iirl froze for a while before getting her senses back Seeing that I was shorter than her, she swelled up with arrogance and raised her hand, wanting to slapher while kneeing her She was taller than hting for the first tirabbed her hair and with force, pulled doards

At the time, I felt pain all around my body but my ruthless drive came back and I wanted to use all methods to attack her She pulled th to pull her hair back,she pinched th to pinch her back When we rolled on to the floor, she tried to use her nails to scratch n of weakness and usedmy mouth to fiercely bite down then no led, I refused to open er and stronger but I still did not open th to bite down

Suddenly, she started to cry, crying even louder than my little sister

Wu Zei and Xiao Bo grabbed one person each and separated us When I was being dragged away by Xiao Bo, I still used both irl I had made cry
