Ch70 - Silk Banner (2/2)
Zhou Sheng was ranked second in the whole cohort!
Yu Hao was dumbstruck and looked at Zhou Sheng. Xue Long said, “Zhou Sheng.”
Zhou Sheng said, “You suspect I cheated?”
Xue Long immediately said, “Of course not, how could Laoshi think that way? I called you over to praise you. Yu Hao did pretty well too, keep it up.”
Yu Hao flipped through his report card. He was ranked third in his class.
“Do you want to apply for a scholarship next semester?” Xue Long said, “Both of you have a chance.”
Zhou Sheng said coldly, “Yeah, why not apply?”
Xue Long said, “Yu Hao can, of course, it’s just that Zhou Sheng you……”
“What about me?” Zhou Sheng asked.
Xue Long said to Yu Hao, “What about this, Yu Hao, I’ll apply for you ba. Fill in the form and hand it to me after school resumes. Zhou Sheng, look at who the fourth place is.”

“What does that have to do with me?” Zhou Sheng said, “Oh him, I know his family’s not doing too well.”
Yu Hao didn’t take the form. Xue Long said, “You received two Notices of Criticism this semester: one for hitting Shi Ni’s parent and another for the group fight. It is possible for me to not approve this scholarship for either of you.”
Yu Hao couldn’t endure it anymore, “What the fuck has that got to do with me again? I didn’t get a Notice of Criticism.”
Zhou Sheng suddenly burst out into laughter. Yu Hao had a bewildered expression on his face, Zhou Sheng laughed so hard he almost cried, “You actually know how to curse?”
Yu Hao understood Xue Long’s intention and only felt incomparable anger. Xue Long wanted to get Zhou Sheng to forfeit his scholarship to the fourth place scorer. In fact, Xue Long has the means to do so. He would be able to prevent Zhou Sheng from getting the scholarship as long as he wrote about his problematic moral behaviour this semester in his evaluation.
Yu Hao was on the brink of exploding from anger, but his anger instantly dissipated because of Zhou Sheng’s laughter.
“Aren’t I discussing it with you two right now?” Xue Long was clearly very unhappy now. He handed the form to Yu Hao. He couldn’t brazenly say whatever he wanted now because Chen Yekai had returned to the college, “Zhou Sheng, give it some more thought after you go back ba. Your family’s doing pretty well, so I suggest you……”

“I don’t want the form.” Yu Hao refused to take it and said coldly, “Keep it for yourself ba, and give it to whoever you want. Looks like you can even do that too now.”
“Why are you so prickly? Yu Hao!” Xue Long almost couldn’t recognise Yu Hao anymore.
Zhou Sheng, “Why don’t you want it! Of course you do! Let’s go! I’ll fill it in for you!” The moment he took the scholarship application form, someone knocked on the office door. Chen Yekai’s voice could be heard as he asked, “Xue Laoshi, are you in?”
“Chen Laoshi?” Xue Long immediately shrank. How could the news be leaked so quickly? It shouldn’t have ba?
Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao were also a bit bewildered. Zhou Sheng immediately said, “He’s in, Kaikai, what’re you doing? Hurry in and take a seat!”
Xue Long, “……”
“I did want to come in and take a seat.”

Chen Yekai pushed the door open and entered. Behind him was Huang Ting and a female reporter that Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng had seen once before. The female reporter sat down, crossing her legs confidently, as if she was a born socializer. She smiled, “Ai, it’s good that I made it in time. Your college would be empty in just two days!”
Huang Ting said, “What a coincidence, I’m here on behalf of my station to send a silk banner to these two students.”
Chen Yekai said, “Let’s hang it in the office during summer vacation first, then we can take it back when school resumes?”
“Hang it, hang it!” Zhou Sheng said, “And there are two? Who wrote these?”
Both banners were created to thank Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao.
The first silk banner came from the police station of Fengyang District’s Tong County: acting courageously for the sake of justice.
The second banner came from Ying city’s Public Security Bureau: Fighting Evildoers with Wits.
Xue Long, “……………………”
“I’d like to interview these two handsome men too.” The female reporter said, “I’m called Junjun, you can just call me Jun Jie.”
Chen Yekai noticed the meaningful look Yu Hao gave him, and understood it in a second, “Oh right, what are you guys doing here?”
“To get the scholarship form.” Zhou Sheng answered, “We just got Yu Hao’s, and we were about to get mine.”
“Yo! Not bad ma!” Junjun said, “Are you inviting people out to eat after you get your scholarship?”
“Certainly!” Yu Hao immediately said.
Xue Long was completely baffled. Three silk banners were hung up, and Yu Hao said, “I’m not going home during the summer vacation, can I take it back to hang in the dorm?”

Because the previous “returned the money that was found” was created by Chen Yekai, Yu Hao asked him to hang it in the office. Now that Chen Yekai moved to Liang Jinmin’s office and was no longer their form teacher, they could now remove it. Zhou Sheng thought the same. Since that was the case, then they might as well go all the way and he told Xue Long, “Then we’ll take the silk banners back now.”
“I’ll begin the interview.” Junjun turned on a recording pen, and Chen Yekai prompted, “Xue Laoshi?”
“With honour! With honour!” Xue Long changed his tune quicker than he flipped through books and immediately handed Zhou Sheng’s form to him, “These two students are among the best in terms of their studies too!”
Yu Hao thought, Xue Long is so disgusting that it has reached a whole new level of its own, and now it even had a strange sense of beauty to it.
After the interview, the three of them heard Yu Hao’s indignant accusations of the injustice outside, and immediately started laughing until they could barely stand up straight. Chen Yekai wanted to treat them to a meal, but Zhou Sheng had to pay special attention to his diet as his competition was next week. So they arranged to meet up after his competition.
In the dormitory.

“Could you call me once in awhile when you’re committing brave acts in the name of justice?” When Fu Liqun saw the silk banner, his heart felt really empty, “Are we still dorm mates?”
Zhou Sheng said, “I’ll remember to inform them next time to add your name to the silk banner. You just need to lie down in the dormitory.”
Fu Liqun was rather straightforward as he said, “That’s even better, then I wouldn’t be scolded by your sis-in-law the whole day for staying in the dormitory all the time.”
Yu Hao, “……”
The next day, Zhou Sheng went to train as usual. Yu Hao suspected Zhou Sheng of going outside of college premises because he had recently been acting so secretively. Coincidentally, Fu Liqun was going home that night, so Yu Hao asked, “Gege, accompany me to go buy Zhou Sheng’s birthday present ba?”
“What do you want to buy?” Fu Liqun asked, “I was just thinking about that too, I need to buy one as well.”
“Buy a cake for him then ba.” Yu Hao said, “I haven’t decided yet, but I’ve already prepared the money.”

Fu Liqun agreed. He slung a sports bag over his shoulder, stuffed both hands in his pockets, and went shopping with Yu Hao. Whenever he went out with Fu Liqun, Yu Hao could always feel the gazes cast at them by all the surrounding girls. It seemed like this was the case when he was out with Chen Yekai too. But he wouldn’t notice this at all when he was with Zhou Sheng……but Zhou Sheng clearly looks very handsome too ah!
“What’s your budget?” Fu Liqun stood in the shopping mall and said, “Gege will help you choose.”
Yu Hao said, “8……9,000 ba? No more than 10,000, I need to save some for next semester’s living expenses. I already took out a student loan to pay for tuition, and it’s not like I can cancel it. Do you think it’s ok to buy a phone?”
Fu Liqun smiled as he said, “Damn it.”
Yu Hao, “??”
Fu Liqun said, “The most expensive thing your sis-in-law got for me was at most over 10,000.”
Yu Hao said, “I haven’t spent 10,000 yet.”
Fu Liqun, “Your sis-in-law’s credit card limit is 300,000, so she can spend however much she wants. But how much do you have on your card? That should be everything you earned from working for the past two months ba!”
“You can’t compare it like that.” Yu Hao smiled, “Sis-in-law’s afraid that you’d feel pressured. I want to buy a phone and buy him a pair of shoes that are a little more expensive……”
“What phone do you want to buy?” Fu Liqun said, “Gege will take you to go buy shoes!”
“Hold on……” Yu Hao suddenly noticed Zhou Sheng standing on an escalator going to the second floor of the shopping mall, “Zhou Sheng isn’t training. So why is he outside?”
Zhou Sheng was still his usual slovenly self. He looked at the dogs at a pet shop for awhile, then turned into one of the corridors of the mall and walked along some crafts stores.
“Oh?” Fu Liqun looked at him doubtfully, “Follow him?”
Yu Hao hadn’t snapped out of his daze when Fu Liqun continued, “Are we still going? That shop’s going to close soon. If you want to know something, just ask him directly ah. It’s not as if he’ll hide something from you with how close the two of you are?”

Yu Hao thought, forget it, give Zhou Sheng some personal space. Don’t ask him so many questions. Perhaps he was feeling stressed out, so he’s out for a walk to relax? If he didn’t want to tell me, then he must have his reasons for doing so. Yu Hao changed his mind and said to Fu Liqun, “Let’s go ba, to the shop.”
