Chapter 221: Skating Rink...New Fun from the Capital
In June and July, the weather was hot and dry, with the incessant chirping of cicadas only serving to exacerbate the mood of those already feeling irritable.
However, despite one's mood, there were still lessons to be learned and work to be done. Especially for students, with the final exams looming ahead, even those who typically struggled academically were eager to cram at the last minute.
Yet, some had given up, no longer caring about their grades. For them, staying cooped up in the classroom during such oppressive heat was the last thing they wanted. After all, with so many young, energetic students packed into one room, tempers flared easily. The mingling scent of sweat fermenting in the classroom made it almost unbearable.
So, from the walls of Lan Province First Mechanical Factory Secondary School, a few backpacks suddenly appeared, followed by several students climbing out, causing little surprise.
The first to emerge was a skinny boy who resembled a monkey, short in stature, barely reaching five feet. Were it not for his anxious expression, he could easily be mistaken for a primary school student.
This boy was indeed called Shou Hou. After hopping down from the wall, he hunched over and surveyed his surroundings, prompting his companions inside to call out, "Shou Hou, is it clear?"
"No one's around, hurry up and come out before Qin Yanwang catches us," Shou Hou whispered.
Before long, several more teenagers began to clamber over the wall one after another. Finally, there was one who was too fat to climb over by himself. After much effort from his friends, he was eventually pushed up onto the wall but hesitated to jump down, squealing in distress.
"Stop screaming, or I'll smack you to death," a tall, burly teenager who had already jumped down growled. "Who the hell let you eat so much? You look like a pig! Why don't you just eat yourself to death? You're just sitting up there, waiting for Qin Yanwang to come and grab you."
After scolding the fat boy, he waved to the rest of their companions who had already climbed out, saying, "Let's go, forget about him. He looks like a pig and thinks like a pig."
The chubby boy lay prone on the wall, his eyes reddening with desperation. He dared not shout loudly for fear of attracting the attention of the disciplinary vice principal, Qin Yanwang. He could only suppress his voice and plead with the tall, burly teenager, "Brother Cai, don't leave. Help me, and I'll bring you some candy when I go back—foreign candy, really delicious."
The other boys were instantly tempted. The fact that the chubby boy had gotten so fat was because, in their family, he was the only boy of his generation. His grandparents, uncles, aunts, and his sister and her husband all indulged him with delicious food and drinks, resulting in him becoming overweight in this era of scarcity.
So when he said something was tasty, it was. And they were willing to hang out with him just to get their hands on those delicious treats and fun toys he always had.
Brother Cai, the tall, burly teenager, halted his steps and glanced sideways at the chubby boy. "The cigarettes you got last time were good."
The chubby boy hesitated. "Those were bought by my dad to give to someone else. I almost got caught last time when I took them..."
"Let's go, ignore him," Brother Cai said, turning to leave.
The chubby boy hurriedly stopped him. "I'll go get them. I'll bring them to you this afternoon!"
