A CERTAIN SOMEONE ( THE ON1Y ONE )

Chapter 006 - To Catch Someone

Where Are You Going? Don’t You Know How to Open the Door?

“Hello, is this Xiao-Tian? I’m your Uncle Sheng.” The person on the other side on the phone, Sheng Mingyang, thought that it was already a different person, and immediately was much more polite.
Sheng Wang checked around, his mouth moved: “Hello Uncle Sheng, I’m your son Sheng Wang.”
Sheng Mingyang: “......”

“Goddamn it.” Sheng Mingyang asked, annoyed: “Didn’t you say that you will pass the phone to Xiao-Tian?”
“I did, but he disappeared.”
“What do you mean?” Sheng Mingyang was clearly baffled, “What do you mean by disappeared?”
“In any case he isn’t in the classroom now.”

On the other side, Sheng Mingyang removed his phone from his ears and murmured something to someone else, and then told Sheng Wang: “Wait for a bit before you hang up, I’ll get your Auntie Jiang to ask.”
Sheng Wang rolled his eyes, and tossed his phone onto the table.

Previously, there were some students who were walking towards him, appearing like they wanted to chat with him about the test. They pulled the brakes the moment they saw that he was on the phone, bid farewell to him and left.
In the sheer span of a few minutes, there was only Sheng Wang left in the classroom.

He played with his bag straps in extreme boredom, listening to the chatter of people slowly fade into the distance like lowering of tides, from the corridor to the staircase, and then completely disappearing. The entire top floor was filled with silence.

He looked at the phone screen that displayed “in call”, and suddenly recalled that it was like this when he was young for a while too. Back then his mom just passed away, possibly out of fear that he would be left to his own thoughts, Sheng Mingyang was determined to fetch him from school everyday. The crucial time period in business was always busy and chaotic, Sheng Mingyang was often late, Sheng Wang just did his homework as he waited. By the time Sheng Mingyang finally rushed over, he would have already completed his homework and every student had left, and Sheng Mingyang could carry his bag and apologise profusely with “Wang-zai” here and “Wang-zai” there.
Afterwards, there was Xiao-Chen the chauffeur, did Sheng Wang need not to wait so often anymore. Later, Sheng Mingyang rarely called him “Wang-zai” after quite a few protests from him.

The corridor suddenly clicked with the “du-du-du” of high heels, Sheng Wang came back to himself and looked in that direction. A figure with long hair flitted past the windows, from the bearing alone one could tell that it was their English teacher, Yang Jing.

It had been three days since Sheng Wang arrived, he did not attend a single English lesson, and it was this teacher that left the deepest impression on him. This was because the old foxes, Class A, changed colours whenever they spoke of the “Jing”, the moment they hear the words “Jing-jie is looking for you”, they would visibly pale in teror.
From their words alone, Sheng Wang thought that the one who taught them English was a Yaksha.
It was later when he saw her then he realised it was not a Yaksha. Yang Jing was tall and willowy, her features were not much to speak of. Her cheek bones were a little high, but she would definitely be the most outstanding one when placed in a crowd.

Du-du-du.
Yang Jing walked past the door and came back again, her chin lifted up and she knocked.
“Jing——” Sheng Wang was brainwashed for too long, and almost let a “Jing-jie” escape his mouth, luckily he stopped in time: “Teacher Yang.”
“En.” Yang Jing asked: “You’re still here? What for?”
She spoke quickly and her chin was always slightly pointed up, a perfectly normal sentence felt like an interrogation when it came from her mouth.

However, Sheng Wang was never scared of teachers, he smiled and said: “I’m waiting for someone.”
“Oh.” Yang Qing shot a glance at his table, “How bold of you, you really just place your phone right under my nose?”
Sheng Wang was stumped, he grabbed his phone and wordlessly passed it to her.
To act like he was well-behaved was one of the young master’s top tricks, Yang Jing raised her long and thin eyebrow, took a look around the empty classroom first, and then sized him up again: “What are you giving it to me for, my surname isn’t Xu. Go give it to the admin office yourself.”
After she spoke, she left with her high heels clacking.
