The five hundred firecrackers finally burnt out. The air was still filled with festive red smoke, and its smell was permeating into everyone’s noses. The boys put down their hands that covered their ears, but they could still hear a faint buzz.

Zheng PingQing removed his hands that were covering Lin Qian’s ears and moved down to rub his earlobe. Zheng PingQing softly asked: “Are your ears uncomfortable?”

Lin Qian touched his warm ears and turned to Zheng PingQing with a smile. “I’m alright. Are you ok?”

Zheng PingQing didn’t reply.

“Are your ears alright?” Lin Qian asked again.

Zheng PingQing gave Lin Qian a wry smile. “Damn. Sorry, this master can’t hear what you’re saying.”

Bent on protecting his boyfriend’s ears, Zheng PingQing bravely left his own ears exposed to the deafening sounds of the firecrackers. Unfortunately, he now suffered short-term deafness because of this.

Lin Qian: “….”

Lin Qian gave Zheng PingQing a funny look, then reached out to rub Zheng PingQing’s ears. Lin Qian also took this opportunity to pinch Zheng PingQing’s ears. “Can you hear me now?”

Xu Yao, who had just uncovered his eyes, was met with this scene. He couldn’t help but hiss at them: “Hey, pay attention to your surroundings and the impact of your actions, will you?!”

The shameless Zheng PingQing had no ounce of fear in him. In fact, he was even a little smug. “You’re just jealous.”

Xu Yao:”…..”

Meanwhile, Guo DangLi and Li Gao were in a dilemma. They were watching Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing and didn’t know what to do. Li Gao was unsure and couldn’t help but ask: “Brother Li, do you want to rub my ears too?”

Just thinking about it gave Li Gao goosebumps.

Sure enough, Guo DangLi was also very disgusted. “Get lost.”

Although Li Gao didn’t want to get his ears rubbed by Guo DangLi, he still felt a little sad when he heard this. Guo DangLi had been a big brother for a long time now, but he clearly didn’t care about his lieutenant as much as Boss Lin does.

After cleaning up the firecrackers, Guo DangLi commanded his little brothers to move the rest of the boxes. With a loud voice, Guo DangLi said: “Teacher Ke was a great pain in the ass. It isn’t enough to just send her off with a string of firecrackers; we have to do a party…”

As he said this, he couldn’t help spelling the word: “p-a-r-t-y,party——”

Suddenly, a familiar voice exclaimed: “That’s right! Student Guo has made some great progress in his studies, ah.”

Everyone was startled. Guo DangLi’s voice was sharp as he yelled: “Principal—— why are you here?”

Principal Qiu smiled. “I heard the sound of firecrackers and was curious.”

Guo DangLi looked past Principal Qiu’s shoulder and saw the little brother behind him. Guo DangLi gave the little brother a meaningful stare. You were supposed to be keeping watch! Why didn’t you stop the Principal?!

The little brother gave him a look full of grief. Who in this entire school can stop the Principal?!

Fortunately, Principal Qiu didn’t seem to be angry. He simply asked: “What’s the happy occasion that prompted these firecrackers?”

Lin Qian calmly stepped forward and said: “It’s to celebrate the remarkable progress everyone showed in the second monthly test and to encourage everyone to continue their efforts in scaling new heights.”
