A CERTAIN SOMEONE ( THE ON1Y ONE )

Chapter 060 - Swayed

He Tried So Hard to Crush Certain Feelings in Its Roots, but Before It Even Had a Chance to Work, He Nearly Failed Because of One Thing.

The atmosphere of learning in Class B wasn’t particularly thick; in fact, just as Shi Yu said, half of the class have their heads lowered in the middle of lesson. There were those on their PSP with their hands inside the desk, playing mobile games, chatting on QQ and WeChat etc. There were even people who stuffed their phone inside their pencil case horizontally in order to read novels, or make use of their long hair to cover the wireless earpiece hidden away as they watched videos.

The relation between teachers and students illustrated that virtue may be one foot tall, but the devil ten. One side always had a way to check, the other always had a way to play.

The few classmates from Class A weren’t quite used to this either, or maybe they were not in a good mood in the first place. A few of them all pulled a long face.
Sheng Wang was the only exception.

When Shi Yu told Sheng Wang about this at the start., there were a few elements of flexing. However, he forgot one thing: Sheng Wang had changed through too many places, and had seen too many classes.
Each class has their own vibe, Sheng Wang had even stayed in a class more unruly than Class B: when they moved on to high school, the cream of the crop eligible for the direct recommendations exam were selected, forming a pre-exam final sprint class that truly straight up disregarded the rules.

With a lock of the classroom doors and the pull of the curtains, it was a normal sight to see people grouping up to play poker, chess, and even mobile games together. Sheng Wang brought a foldable basketball hoop and nailed it to the back of the classroom. When boys start to get fidgety, they could toss anything inside. They even dared to compete. The main credit behind Sheng Wang’s shockingly good accuracy in shooting into the basket went to mainly those two months.

There were even people who brought dice, and used a mug as a dice cup. Those who lost will have to treat the entire class to supper. Sheng Wang had terrible luck, and had treated everyone many times.
Back then, the school cafeteria’s supper was meant for teachers on duty only. Theoretically, students shouldn’t be able to buy it, as the school did not want to delay lights out and sleep. However, they have succeeded again and again. Someone ratted them out twice, and the teacher on duty came to catch them with the penalty book. They split into three teams as they fled, and managed to shake the teachers off despite the ambush and being cut off. They snuck food back to the dorms, and toasted each other in celebration. On Monday, they would come to have a joyous reunion as they were forced to attend “The Public Criticism Beneath the National Flag”.

Whether Shi Yu had seen it before, Sheng Wang probably did it all. Big Mouth Xu was correct about one thing: he simply happened to be getting away because his good looks, his obedience was all surface level.

At one point, he thought that he liked that class that best; because of the utter lack of restraint, because of the liveliness. Because he could avoid returning to the empty and boring house.
Afterwards, when the recommendation exams were over, and that class that was formed in the last minute dispersed, he then discovered his so called ‘like’ was only just that—

The second day of vacation, those crazy days that overstepped boundaries started to blur in his mind. A month later, he couldn’t even get the names of some classmates straight, only remembering a few nicknames. Much later, the people in those days all became “them”.
Because, as he recalled, those were odds and ends of things he never had to work hard for; they were nothing to write home about.
The lessons in the afternoon were all taken up by physics and mathematics. The teacher was doing their best to go through the thought process behind solving the question, but there was only a pathetic amount of people holding their pen as they cooperated with the teacher. Sheng Wang was one of them.
However, he wasn’t taking down notes.
