Chapter 28: The Panic Caused by the Sudden Inspection (4)
The bell rang. Long Ge and Xiang Ge also returned to their seats. They sat right behind Qiao An Yu Liang. Because Shu Zi Mo handed in his homework diligently, and they had a good rapport with each other, they hit it off immediately.
Before class, let's check the recitation situation first. Su Yuzhe, recite Li Shangyin's "Untitled" for me. The hoarse but very clear voice echoed in every corner of the classroom.
Su Yu Zhe, who was hit in the chest, stood up amidst the sympathetic gazes of the crowd and began to recite: "Parting is hard when meeting is hard, east wind has no strength, a hundred flowers wither. Spring silkworms die after exhausting their silk, wax candles burn out before tears dry. Morning mirror..."
He suddenly got stuck and didn't turn his head, but Qiao An Yu Lian couldn't help but feel anxious for him, wishing she could take his place to complete this recitation.
"Xiao Jing..." Su Yu Zhe tried hard to recall, but his mind was still a complete blank.
"The dawn mirror is worried about the change of cloud hair." Shu Zimo flipped through the book and secretly told him.
"Dawn mirror but worry cloud temples change......" Su Yu Zhe again laboriously flipped through his own library in his mind, failing to find anything.
Shu Zimo was about to remind again, "Follow the procedure" spoke up: "Go back and copy this poem 20 times, hand it in tomorrow. After class, students who were punished with copying homework yesterday should hand over their assignments to the study committee."
The classroom was silent as a ghost town, with only the sound of "going through the motions" echoing in the room.
"Take out your exercise books, write your name, class and number on the cover, place them on the desk, and everyone study by themselves. I will check your homework."
Suddenly everything below was silent.
"What to do? I've already written the name on the cover, and I forgot that Old Man also teaches the neighboring class. He just checked their homework a moment ago." Long Ge said with a sorrowful face, speaking softly to Xiang Ge, but was overheard by Qiao An Yu Liang who had sharp ears.
"Things of a kind come together, and people are divided into groups. What kind of Shu Zimo is surrounded by what kind of friends." Qiao Anyu couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"This way of yours is quite risky, why don't you learn from me?" Wang Xiang was complacent about his own cleverness.
"Whatever, I'll just tear off the cover and glue it back on after class. At most, I'll apologize to that guy. I don't want to go through the hassle. If my dad finds out, he'll blow his top." Chen Long sighed, carefully cutting off the cover of his workbook with a sharp knife and stuffing it into his drawer.
"Going through the formalities" starts with Qiao An Yu Liang's group, which is also the first group.
During the inspection, classmates in the class didn't dare to breathe, afraid that as soon as they made a sound, "going through the process" would pounce on them like a hunting leopard, and they would become its sacrifice under its claws.
When "following the procedure" reached Qiao An Yu Liang's side, her heart was also straightened. Her own exercise book shouldn't have any mistakes, right? Yesterday evening, Shu Zi Mo came to find herself with a deadpan expression and asked for homework to copy. She couldn't resist his soft and hard begging and lent it to him. Would he want to take revenge on her because of this, scribbling randomly in her exercise book or even framing her? This was absolutely the kind of petty idea that Shu Zi Mo could come up with.
Qiao Anyu regretted not carefully checking the practice book again when Shu Zimo returned it to her that morning. If she had found something in the practice book, she would have been scolded by him. After all, he was notorious for being strict and was known as "Walking Through Procedures" throughout the grade.
It's okay. "Going through the motions" was just a rough flip through her and Gu Siyan's practice books, then she walked to the back. Qiao Anyu's heart finally put down.
Shu Zimo didn't seize the opportunity to frame himself? This is against Shu Zimo's character. However, thinking carefully again, with so much content in the practice book, he must have copied it all night, without even having time to sleep, and still had time to scribble on her practice book?
Was Shu Zimo really that bad or did she just think of him as being too bad? Qiao Anyu couldn't help but feel puzzled.
