Sheng Wang Suddenly Felt Especially Exhilarated.

On the way to Duxing Block, Big Mouth Xu talked their ears off. Out of the self awareness of being an ‘obedient’ student, Sheng Wang was incredibly receptive. Once in a while he would reply with a “Mn”, but in reality he did not absorb a single word.

He eyed Jiang Tian quite a few times before he couldn’t help but ask: “When exactly did you badger Big Mo- Dean Xu?”
Jiang Tian replied resolutely: “I didn’t.”
Big Mouth Xu was walking in front of them by a few metres, his hands behind his back. Logically speaking, he should not be able to catch a conversation at this decibel. However, as an expert in catching rule-breakers as well as having taught for many years, he had cultivated amazing prowess and his ears were sharp enough to catch a needle drop.

He instantly turned around and shot a glare at Jiang Tian, pointing at his own nose as he said, “You still deny it? You’re saying that I was talking rubbish?”
Jiang Tian immediately halted, his upper body leaned slightly backwards in order to avoid the saliva droplets that came exploding out of this middle age man’s mouth.

Big Mouth Xu hadn’t gotten a kick out of chewing people out yet, he said to Sheng Wang: “The school internet broke down that day, right? The computer room was waiting for him and Teacher Sun to go fiddle with it. He was so obedient, he went out of the way to bring Xiao-Sun with him to speak to me about the security cameras first. Were you holding the school internet as a hostage or?”
Jiang Tian: “???”
His expression was so entertaining that Sheng Wang suspected, if the person standing opposite him wasn’t the administration dean, he would probably ask if the person was an idiot.

He did witness the way Jiang Tian spoke with teachers before. He was truly both cold and proud, frantically asking for trouble.
Just as expected, Jiang Tian stiffly replied: “Mingli Block is in the north and computer room in the south, we have to pass through Duxing Block. We just happened to pass by, how was it out of the way?”
“You still dare to be impertinent?”
“......”

“Dean,” Sheng Wang reminded, “I think we’re the victims here.”
Big Mouth Xu’s anger doused out with a “poof”, and said in exasperation, “I know, I’m just worked up about it now, it wasn’t directed towards the both of you. I couldn’t keep a hold on my anger, that’s all.”
“Ok.” Sheng Wang dragged Jiang Tian behind him, and used himself as a shield between the other two. “Please save more of it, You can let it all out at the offender later.”
Big Mouth Xu laughed sardonically.

The doors and windows in Duxing Block’s third floor office were all tightly shut, even from a door away one could feel how tense the situation was inside.
Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian locked eyes, and followed behind Big Mouth Xu as he twisted the knob open.

There were already people in the classroom, a little more than what Sheng Wang expected—

Two young men stood by the window, one of them was in a black T-shirt and jeans, sitting casually by the windowsill. Upon seeing the door opening, he even cheerily greeted in their direction.
It was the Zhao Xi from ‘In Those Years’ BBQ store.
The other person sported an extremely short haircut, at first glance it appeared to be quite business-like if it wasn’t for his hair that was dyed ash gray. He was talking while standing next to Zhao Xi, he only turned around to look at the door when he heard it open. He gave them a simple nod.

Sheng Wang covertly poked the back of Jiang Tian’s hand. He whispered, “Who’s that even.”
“The boss of the BBQ shop.” Jiang Tian’s fingers crooked before they relaxed once more, a few words jumped out of his mouth.
“Duh, I already knew Zhao Xi.” Sheng Wang said.
“I’m talking about the other one,” Jiang Tian said, “Lin Beiting.”
