A CERTAIN SOMEONE ( THE ON1Y ONE )

Chapter 083 - Marked

Nobody Knew They Were Together, but Everybody Was a Witness to the Way They Belonged to Each Other.

The stage for the cultural festival was in Fuzhong’s grand hall. Afternoon onwards, the year one classes all went to rehearse. The block in front saw a constant stream of people entering and leaving hurriedly. The year twos were much more composed in comparison — at the very least, they obediently finished the self-study classes in the afternoon.

Sheng Wang finished all his papers before the lesson ended, and sent Jiang Tian a message on the dot.
You Say That Again: your boyfriend is coming to check up on you
Ok: ?
Ok: I’m in the classroom
You Say That Again: who’s talking about that
You Say That Again: you done with the papers for today and tomorrow yet

There would be a holiday after the cultural festival, it could also be vaguely considered as the year two’s last hurrah before their finals. However, some teachers were also rather “hurrah” when they assigned homework, and gave them to the students like it was free.
Sheng Wang wanted to go out tomorrow, so he urged the person upstairs to hurry up and finish his homework. Unexpectedly, Jiang Tian soon sent a picture of his desk: there were a total of three papers, and they were all completed.

Okay: Old He and Jing-jie didn’t give out any papers, there’s only this much for the two days
You Say That Again: fuck! I wanna go back to Class A

Sheng Wang was rather shaken as he packed the 10 papers he completed. Just as he was ready to go upstairs to find the person who rattled him for dinner, the music teacher entered the classroom.
He clapped at the entrance to the classroom, saying, “C’mon, pack your things up. We’ll be heading to the hall.”
“This early?”
“It isn’t early anymore. The festival starts at 7pm, and it’s already 5.30pm now,” the music teacher said, “hurry, we’re leaving.”
“We haven’t had our dinner yet.”
“Where’s the class monitor? Also, the culture rep, go to the mart to buy some stuff to tide over for the time being. Your performance is relatively in front, you can slowly eat after you’re done performing.”

Sheng Wang tsked. He could only take his phone out again, and send a message to Jiang Tian, telling him that he would have to go to the cafeteria on his own.

There was an entire row of resting rooms in the backstage of the grand hall. Due to the limited numbers, they basically had to be shared by two classes. The door for Sheng Wang’s room was pasted with “Class A, B”, but nobody from Class A was to be found.
“Teacher, this is so unfair—” quite a few people grumbled at the music teacher while knocking on their mineral water bottles, “Why do Class A people get to have dinner but we have to come this early?”
“Is this your first time here? Hasn’t the people of Class A always been like this: they are too lazy to even stroll to the resting room unless the show is about to start soon. It’s not like there’s an award for participating in the cultural festival!”

The music teacher gave the talking boy a smack. “Quit having a mouth. Change your clothes and get over here for makeup! There aren’t many people in Class A, so I told them they could take their time. Even if they are here, they will just be waiting around doing nothing.”

The table next to the dressing table was filled with a pile of unopened packages of clothes, all white shirts and black long pants. Simple and convenient.

Sheng Wang went over and looked through it. He immediately turned to ask, “Do we just take what we want?”
“No, it’s already labelled with names. Didn’t we estimate everyone’s sizing before? Don’t take the wrong one.” The music teacher said, “There are also some from Class A, please read carefully before you take the clothes.”
“Class A is wearing the same thing as us? Teacher, you sure are good at saving yourself trouble.”
