Chapter 3 (2/2)
Only when the staircase is empty does Xu Chuan look at Kou Chen: “What was that for? He even spoke up for you just now, Liang Mulan said you did it on purpose, but Huo Ran kept explaining that the floorboard split by itself”
“That's the price for hi my dad,” Kou Chen says
“Okay fine that's offset then,” Xu Chuan says, “Then as your hand being so extra just then?”
Kou Chen slowly bounces a few steps down, “His appearance ask for people to tease him”
[tl note: the word used 撩has different iender of the person: ‘tease' for someone of the same sex, ‘flirt' for the opposite sex, to want to 撩 someone means to want to ‘woo' them we're in a danmei so it be either of these 3]
“…What?” Xu Chuan was a little baffled
“Don't you think he kinda looks like Lu Huan?” Kou Chen says
“Lu Huan?” Xu Chuan looks at the back of his head, Kou Chen had already asked him for Lu Huan's na like he really liked her, but the previous day during self-introductions Lu Huan had clearly already said her name
Xu Chuan didn't really understand how Kou Chen's ical connection?” Xu Chuan asks again
“Don't know,” Kou Chen juhost building”
“You're sick aren't you,” Xu Chuan says
“I've been here for so long but I still haven't gone in,” Kou Chen turns back, face full of anticipation, “I want to kno Liang Mulan got this trau,” Xu Chuan says
“You…” Kou Chen starts cracking up
“I' was next to the teachers' office, standing by theOld Yuan and Teacher Liang in the second-floor office could be seen
Pretty much everyone from Class 1 crowded by the , some plastered to the , so over together
In the office Teacher Liang was rather agitated, although what she was saying couldn't be heard clearly, but fro then to the floor it was pretty easy to guess, whereas Old Yuan was a lot e, only when he'd turned back and realised that theon this side was croith people, had co handthe curtains to a close
If talking about geographical location, they were better off compared to Class 3 downstairs, after the curtains had been closed, they noticed that there were quite a few Class 3 people standing around in the euys see?” someone asked those downstairs
“Can't see,” souys see?”
“Arguing,” upstairs says, “Now that the curtains' closed can't see any their necks upwards, and Wei ChaoRen couldn't help but ask: “Can't see anyuys still stuck there for?”
“Liang Mu… Teacher Liang said,” someone downstairs says, “Before this issue is settled, before you guys give us an apology, we can't enter the classroom”
“What for, a de nonsense with the this sort of friendly interaction, breaking up the conversation
“An apology is impossible,” Wei ChaoRen says, “Disperse already, don't let your iinations run aith you”
20 minutes later, Old Yuan entered the classroom, victory or defeat couldn't be told from his expression
“Old Yuan, what's the situation?” someone in the classroom anxiously asks after the state of the battle
“Kou Chen Huo Ran,” Old Yuan says, “You tere the o downstairs, sweep up the wall ash and what not”
“They've already cleaned it up,” Kou Chen says
“Act like it,” Old Yuan says, “Do the gestures, you weren't coht either”
Huo Ran turns back to look at Kou Chen, Kou Chen then stands up, he follows and also stands up
As the two of the the tools, if they don't let you two use their class' things you'd have to coh, and looked over at the broo that not all of them were new, only one looked to be a bit more full, he brisk-walked over, even if it was just to act like it, he still wanted to take the new one
Just as his hand touched the neck of the broo ruthlessly on the back of his hand with a pa, hurting so bad he snatched his hand back with a start
“You…” with his jaw clenched he turned his glare towards Kou Chen, Kou Chen already had the new broo a se to swear at hi the other broom, and just as he was about to leave, Kou Chen who'd already left the classroo pretty ht beside, a look saying “Look at s I'm such a loyal friend” on his face as he left the classrooot down the stairs, Teacher Liang was standing at the Class 3 entrance, not saying anything
Huo Ran looked inside the classroo on the empty space outside
However, the explosive tension between the two classes after ht now their attitudes were more that of spectators, and when Huo Ran and Kou Chen walked into the classroom, outside there were even people that waved at them
Kou Chen raised his head, walked to beneath where wall ash had fallen froht here, let's sweep”
“…Shat?” Huo Ran looked at the not only swept but also visiblyMulan,” Kou Chen bends and starts waving the broo very seriously, as he swept to beside a desk even lifted it, sweeping underneath
Dra!
Huo Ran was incredibly disdained, but could also only start sweeping the floor
In order to differentiate hi, he only swept perfunctorily, not even bending his waist
It wasto sweep, even a desk left unwiped for a whole vacation period ht have more dust on it than this floor
“You sweep more seriously,” Kou Chen turned his head back
Huo Ran didn't say anything, looking at hi, if she's not satisfied and starts off with another half hour of “You all don't respect ht I'll tie you up in the ghost building for a night”
Huo Ran hesitates a bit, enduring the humiliation to bend his waist in the sa Kou Chen's speech he was extre is your house, even if I go in and let you tielike you're blowing a Suona4uses the characters for ‘blo' so he's suggesting that kou chen is bluffing in a sarcastic way – a suona is an instru for a bit, then asks, “Sure then”
“What?” Huo Ran is stupefied
“Then you don't have to stand there and let me tie you up,” Kou Chen says, “1 hour, fro to the ghost building at night?” Huo Ran is stupefied once again
“Don't worry, if you don't dare to go, I won't tell anyone,” Kou Chen finishes then continues sweeping
“What's the bet?” Huo Ran asks
“Anything,” Kou Chen says, “If I lose I'll call you Daddy”
“No need,” Huo Ran says, “I prefer daughters”
Kou Chen thinks a bit: “Then what about the loser does soal, they can say it whenever they think of sohtforwardly, “What if nobody coether?”
“No way,” Kou Chen says, “Where are all these issues fro,” Huo Ran says
Kou Chen was looking down on hi before, not that he didn't dare to, but rather he hadn't even thought about going, the school said that was a hazardous building, students weren't allowed to go up
Of course… He is scared of ghosts, but who isn't scared of ghosts!
Everyone is scared of ghosts, and he's still got a strong point, not just spending the night in a crappy building, when he was cale-person tent in the wilderness by himself Kou Chen hadn't even started middle school!
