Chapter 61: The Unconventional Bird Emerges (Part 1)

  As the exam date draws near, these two words have quietly entered our lives. On Monday morning, the teaching director suddenly came to our school and took away all the students with a cold in front of the whole class, regardless of whether it was severe or mild. There were only three people in our class who had a cold, namely Lin Lili, Shu Tongtong, and Yan Feng.

  After that, the three of them never returned to the classroom. Instead, the class teacher asked their deskmate to collect their bags and send them to the office. I was Shu Tengteng's deskmate, so I naturally went to collect her bag. However, while collecting her bag, I found a note written by her and Lin Lilili. The content of the note wasn't anything unusual, just about meeting up after school. What was strange was that Shu Tengteng and Lin Lilili didn't usually have much interaction, but the tone of the note made it seem like they were familiar with each other. I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, and my mind started to wander with all sorts of thoughts and doubts. How did Shu Tengteng end up using notes to secretly meet up with Lin Lilili? Was it because of me? Because I had conflicts with Lin Lilili, but Shu Tengteng didn't seem to have any issues with her. She could have just told me directly, so why was she being so secretive? Is Shu Tengteng still the straightforward person I knew from before? I felt a sense of unease in my heart. Forget it, maybe I'm overthinking things. I'll just deliver the bag to the office and be done with it.

  It turned out that the three of them had been seen by the school doctor, and Shu Tengteng still had a bit of a fever. The teacher asked them to go home and rest, and when they were almost recovered, they would bring a certificate from the hospital, specifically from People's Hospital.

  The exam is approaching, and it's really frustrating that we're not allowed to go to school. We didn't take it seriously at first, but suddenly it happened and made everyone anxious. Plus, the school attaches great importance to it.

  Back then, I was also suspected of being isolated. With a slight cold and my uncle returning from Wenzhou, the school refused to let me attend classes. My parents were worried sick, but in the end, they had no choice but to accept it. At that time, it didn't seem as close to the exams as now, but it still affected my junior high school entrance exam.

  Lin Lili and Shu Tengteng have not come to school, while Yan Feng has recovered and returned to school. The school has also taken measures, such as measuring body temperature with an instrument at the entrance every day before entering the school. The measurement is very fast and accurate to two decimal places. Whenever a student suspected of having a fever is found, they are detained at the gate and not allowed to enter.

  It wasn't until this afternoon that we saw Li Fang being detained there, Li Fang insisted that he didn't have a fever and asked to rest for a while before re-testing, many classmates were watching there, after all, such a situation has never occurred before, generally students who are found to have problems would lower their heads and quietly go home.

  Li Fang said, "I played basketball at noon today and it was very hot. I rushed to class on my bike and I'm all sweaty. Besides, machines aren't perfect and they can make mistakes. Anyway, I request a retest..."

  After the bell rang, we all went back to the classroom. The teacher had been lecturing for a while when Li Fang suddenly said from the back door that the report was coming, so it seemed like a real false alarm after all.

  This is still nothing, what makes everyone unbearable is that there will be a disinfection action with disinfectant water after two classes every day. Everyone doesn't want to stay in the classroom and dislikes the smell. Gradually, the school changed to disinfect once in the morning and afternoon, and the disinfectant water became white vinegar. In short, all smells are not good.

  Classmates who love nature jokingly call us not students preparing for exams, but little white mice in the lab, waiting every day for the day when we will 'be experimented on'. Meanwhile, classmates with a keen sense of business say that the whole nation wearing masks is a huge consumer market, and whoever can seize this opportunity will become rich.

  More than two weeks later, Shu Tongtong and Lin Lilili came to school, and the two suddenly became rivals, but it was unclear what had happened between them.

  At the time of dismissal in the morning, there were about half of the people left in the classroom. Lin Lilai was in a bad mood because the teacher had talked to her, and she slowly packed up her things while sitting at her seat. Coincidentally, Shu Tiantian passed by her side, and Lin Lilai suddenly burst out, feeling as if she had seen an enemy. With angry eyes, she said: "Shu Tiantian, you're a troublemaker! After listening to your words, I didn't gain anything good. Everyone thinks I'm the bad guy. This time, I was even forced to stay home and rest for two weeks, and my dad and mom scolded me. The results of this small test were also very disappointing. Why do I have to be the bad guy? You're so innocent! Why do you get to be the good guy while I'm the bad one?"

  Lin Lilili said a lot, although the language was inconsistent, but everyone could roughly guess what was going on. Lin Lilili had been used by Shu Tengteng and now she was exposing her. Shu Tengteng remained calm and said: "Lin Lilili, what are you talking nonsense about? When did I ask you to do something for me? Why would you listen to me? What's my relationship with you? Do I have the right to order you around?"

  Lin Lilili's words stuck in her throat, Shu Tengteng knew that Lin Lilili wouldn't say that she liked Wu Hanwen herself, so she was fearless. Lin Lilili had a bitter taste but couldn't speak out, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "It's just... it's just... because you know my secret, so you said you'd help me, we cooperate with each other, because our goals are the same."

  Shu Tongtong said, "Then why don't you tell me what's going on?" Lin Lilai was stunned and didn't say a word. Although Lin Lilai was annoying, her concerns were written all over her face. She was speechless and couldn't utter a word, but suddenly she blurted out everything: "Shu Tongtong, don't be too arrogant! If you want to keep something secret, don't do it yourself. It's not like I'm hiding anything from you - I admit that I like Wu Hanwen, so what? What's the big deal? You're threatening me? And now it seems that what Yaya told me was true - you've been using me all along, from the beginning to now. And you also like Wu Hanwen, don't you? Even if you deny it, I can see right through you. Otherwise, why would you be friends with Nan Xixi on the surface while secretly sabotaging her? I may not like Nan Xixi, but at least I have the guts to say so and my actions reflect that. You, on the other hand, are just pretending to be friends with Nan Xixi - what a fake! Today, I'm exposing your true face."
