After this happened several ti He Zhao's unreasonable requests seriously When a teacher passed by, he rolled up his book and gave He Zhao a hard greeting to the back of his head: ”Get up”

As He Zhao spoke, he opened QQ and posted a status to brag about his battle record: [/I occurred to him and he rapped on Xie Yu's side of the desk: ”Add me?”
