A CERTAIN SOMEONE ( THE ON1Y ONE )

Chapter 30 - Shop's Closed

He Said: Nothing Is Going Favourably Today.

Qi Jiahao did not return for a long time, even after the long break ended he remained nowhere to be seen.
After Li Yu attended the regular meeting for class monitors, she returned to the classroom with a notebook and a pen. Gao Tianyang, who was always on the lookout, called out from his seat: “Little Carp, what did they say at the meeting? Any good news?”
“Why are you so concerned over every little thing?” Song Sirui was seated right next to Li Yu. He himself was stretched over trying to take a look at Carp’s notebook, cutting remarks against Gao Tianyang still flowed out of his mouth nonetheless.

Li Yu had a good temperament, she really did report what was recorded on the notebook for Gao Tianyang’s benefit. “Something about residential stay, and the adjustment of night self-study when school officially reopens. Also, our class’ timetable will be slightly readjusted, Teacher He will probably brief us on that. The Tri-Quality Students of the City’s name list is also going up for submission too.”

Song Sirui aimed his words at Gao Tianyang as he said, “Either ways, none of your business.”
“Nah it’s my business! How could there be nothing.” Gao Tianyang jabbed his thumb in the direction of Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian, “Tri-Quality Students of the City’s name list has been taken up by at least two out of the three of us here, I’m in charge of sharing the honour.”
Song Sirui was incredulous. “How can someone as shameless as you exist in this world?”

Just as Gao Tianyang was about to retort, he felt his thumb being pressed back down by someone.
The someone was Sheng Wang.

“Keep it, don’t point at random,” Sheng Wang said, “my future is still unclear.”
“How could it be,” Gao Tianyang was completely unaware, “don’t be modest, even though your English scores this time round may be a little tragic, your improvement has to be the largest between the weeklies and the monthlies, there’s zero room for doubt!”

Sheng Wang then realised that he had never spoken a single word about the condition Big Mouth Xu gave him, about improving by 50 places.
Just as he was about to explain, as well as casually mention how his English results was nothing to be sorry about either, Li Yu approached with two pieces of paper.

“Didn’t you ask about staying in school before?” She settled a piece of paper on Sheng Wang’s desk. “There, this is the application form, all you need to do is to fill in your student info.”
“Thanks.” Sheng Wang gave her a quick smile, lowered his head and started reading the form. He started spinning a pen out of habit, as if he was about to fill it up at any moment.

Immediately after two spins, Jiang Tian’s low voice came from behind his ears: “You’re staying in school?”
Sheng Wang suddenly felt a little guilty.

“Hm?” He denied out of instinct, “No, I just casually asked the class monitor last time.”
Upon finishing his words he turned behind to look at Jiang Tian. Just like the last time he hid from Sheng Mingyang, he didn’t know what he had to feel guilty about, he only desperately wanted to know what Jiang Tian’s reaction was.

Jiang Tian’s gaze landed on his finger, Sheng Wang glanced at it along with him. He realised that his hand was still holding onto the pen. He was quiet for two seconds, and then threw the pen away with a smack.

Li Yu stood next to the table, feeling that there was a slight tension in the air.
Her sixth sense told her that now is not the best time to continue to talk to Sheng Wang about this matter. Therefore, she used the remaining piece of paper to cover half her face, silently moved a table forward until she was next to Jiang Tian’s, and carefully placed the paper on his desk.

Both Jiang Tian and Sheng Wang looked at her at the same time.
Li Yu suddenly regretted her actions a little, but she could not simply run away due to her responsibilities. As such, she gestured at the second form: “Um…...Jiang Tian, you mentioned this to me before too, this is the form. You, uh, the two of you fill it up as you please, you just need to pass it to me on Friday that’s all.”
