In this way, under Yuanyuan's influence, Peng Xue could barely be considered a good student, so even if the head teacher Huang Lian wanted to target Peng Xue, she might not be able to seize such an opportunity.
Hopefully nothing goes wrong...
The last class at school every Friday afternoon is general cleaning, which is a rare free time for students who are not on duty.
However, the grade has always had an activity to evaluate the hygiene of the class. The hygiene of each class will be inspected and scored every week, and classes that fail to meet the hygiene standards will be criticized.
Class 8 has always been an advanced class in terms of learning, so it is naturally very strict about hygiene. As soon as the get out of class is over, Huang Lian organizes everyone to put up the stools and arrange the tables so that the students on duty can start cleaning early.
This week's group is Xia Yuan and Peng Xue's. There are more girls than boys in their group, so it's more difficult for them to do heavy work, especially mopping the floor. Mei Fang had nothing to do after class, so when she saw Xia Yuan cleaning the windows in the corridor, she came over and asked Xia Yuan if she needed help, but Xia Yuan drove her back in a bad mood.
"You are a boy from another class, how can you help me with my duty? I have done a lot of housework in your house, and I am not a spoiled little girl..."
"Oh, that's not what I meant. I just thought that this way you guys would finish faster. Youxi and I are waiting to go with you to eat the new beef noodles in the cafeteria."
"No need to wait for me, just go and eat first."
Xia Yuan said as he took out his meal card with the Banker Sakura sticker on it, "How about this... after you finish eating, bring some back for Xiaoxue and me. We should be able to finish cleaning by then."
"no problem."
After she finished speaking, she went to the classroom and asked Peng Xue who was sweeping the floor: "Would you like to have beef noodles tonight? Ah Fang said he could bring some for us."
"I want what I want!"
Peng Xue rushed out of the classroom and respectfully handed his meal card to Mei Fang.
"Please help me put more chopped green onions, more coriander and more chili oil. I am a super cool girl with a heavy taste!"
"You are such a trouble..."
Although Xia Yuan's complaints to Mei Fang made him feel that Peng Xue had been in a bad mood recently, she was obviously much stronger than he expected. At least on the surface, she still looked harmonious, cheerful and carefree.
Mei Fang had just finished talking to Peng Xue and was about to go buy food when he suddenly saw a big devil rushing out from behind Peng Xue and Xia Yuan. Her sharp and piercing voice broke the originally harmonious and loving atmosphere.
"Peng Xue, why are you wasting time here instead of cleaning properly?"
Huang Lian, who suddenly appeared, burst out with the terrifying majesty unique to the head teacher of Class 8. Mei Fang's memory of his past life also reminded him of the horror of being treated by this yellow-faced woman in the past. However, Peng Xue obviously didn't care. She put her hands on her waist and said, "Teacher Huang, I have finished sweeping inside. Now I have to sweep the garbage in the corridor."
"Done sweeping? Are you sure? You're still arguing with me, hurry up and go in and sweep it carefully! You dress up all day, I don't know which hooligans you are showing off to... If you had been half as careful as you are when sweeping and studying, you wouldn't have done so badly in the last exam."
"That's all I have. I'm very satisfied with myself. I don't need you to worry about me, teacher."
"I don't worry? I'm your class teacher. If I don't worry, who will worry for you?"
Huang Lian pointed at Peng Xue's face and criticized her, "I'm telling you, I feel sick just looking at your bangs. Cut your hair short this weekend. Cut your bangs for me. Can you see the blackboard if you keep them this long? If you don't get rid of them, either don't come to my class, or call your parents over. I want to see what excuse you have."
"My parents are working outside and don't have time."
Peng Xue, who was always smiling, was really upset by Huang Lian. She held the broom and looked away with a cold tone.
"Then call your grandparents! I don't believe you don't have a guardian."
Huang Lian said this and suddenly turned to Xia Yuan who was wiping the wall tiles:
"Xia Yuan, listen carefully too. It's the same for you. Even though you may be doing okay academically, if you continue to hang out with Peng Xue and don't draw a clear line between you and her, you'll be the next Peng Xue. Do you hear me?"
Xia Yuan just lowered her head, neither nodding nor shaking her head, but she kept clenching her fists, squeezing the rag in her hand until all the water was squeezed out.
"Xia Yuan, what's wrong with you? I'm asking you a question, did you hear me?"
Just when Huang Lian wanted to continue preaching, she suddenly heard a popping sound. The water bucket of Class 9 next door was accidentally knocked over. A pool of dirty water flowed along her feet. Huang Lian dodged repeatedly.
"Hey, what are you doing? Do you know how to clean?"
"Oh...I'm so sorry, Mr. Huang!"
Mei Fang, who borrowed a bucket from Zhang Ming to break the impasse, scratched his head and apologized repeatedly, "My hand slipped accidentally just now. Did I dirty the teacher's shoes?"
Huang Lian looked down at the stains on his leather shoes, and his blood suddenly surged.
"Look at what you've done! Class 9 is always so lazy when it comes to cleaning. I really need to have a word with Li Shibing from your class."
"Oh, please don't, Mr. Huang!" Mei Fang suddenly pretended to be terrified. "Mr. Li in our class is very fierce. Let him know that I have to clean our class for a month. Please be merciful and give me a hand."
Mei Fang appeared to be very playful and smooth when dealing with the teachers. Even a rigid teacher like Huang Lian could not help but find his remarks interesting and he immediately gave up the idea of losing his temper.
"Okay, okay, go clean it up quickly and be more careful next time."
"Thank you, Mr. Huang!"
Mei Fang ran to the bathroom to fill Zhang Ming's bucket with water again.
Huang Lian turned around and wanted to lecture the two of them, but where was Peng Xue? Only Xia Yuan was still conscientiously wiping the tiles. Huang Lian felt uncomfortable with her dirty shoes, so she hurried home to change her shoes.
Chapter 095 Commemorative Water Cup
When Mei Fang was on his way back from fetching water, Xia Yuan was squatting beside the bucket wringing out a rag. The two looked at each other and smiled. Suddenly, Xia Yuan dipped some water and threw it at Mei Fang, who dodged repeatedly.
"Hey, hey...what are you doing..."
"Damn Ah Fang, you made our corridor wet. How long will it take us to delay this?"
"Sorry, sorry." Mei Fang said with a cheerful smile, "I'll help you drag it in a moment."
"Who asked you to drag it? I'm kidding... We can do it ourselves."
Xia Yuan also laughed, "Ah Fang, you were so handsome just now, our class teacher couldn't do anything about you."
"That's it!"
Peng Xue quietly slipped out of the classroom, trotted over and patted Mei Fang on the shoulder, "I didn't think you were good just by hearing Yuanyuan say it, but now I know why Yuanyuan likes you so much."
"Xiaoxue...what are you talking about!" Xia Yuan waved her fist in protest: "Take your hands off Ah Fang!"
"Hey, I won't!"
Xia Yuan made a cute sound that cannot be described in Chinese. He dipped some water and sprinkled it on Peng Xue. The two of them were having a lot of fun. Mei Fang was also having fun. At this time, someone suddenly pinched Mei Fang's shoulders hard from behind.
"I said... Mei Fang... you said you would fetch me some water, why didn't you return the bucket to me?"
I'm so crazy, I forgot everything.
Mei Fang quickly handed the bucket to Zhang Ming, "Work hard, I have made Class 8's floor dirty according to your instructions. If I can't help our class win the title of Model Hygiene Class this time, you will be blamed."
Zhang Ming: "???"
After Mei Fang dealt with the little farce, he went to find Lin Youxi who was waiting at the flower bed to have dinner together.
Throughout last year, Mei Fang actually ate at school with same-sex friends like Zhang Ming, while Lin Youxi either ate with Yue Xinyi or Xia Yuan.
However, after entering the second year of junior high school, Lin Youxi asked Mei Fang for time to go out for dinner together on Friday afternoons. Because the tutoring schedule had compressed their time, the time they usually had alone became very short.
Yue Xinyi naturally supported him happily and even looked very happy when she was abandoned.
Of course, as they stayed in school for a long time, the fact that Mei Fang and Lin Youxi had a good relationship had become a consensus among the students in the class. Eating together was a reflection of their closer relationship, and it was only a matter of time before it was discovered and spread.
Just like Xia Yuan's previous handling, Mei Fang was actually happy to see it happen. After all, Youxi's charm has gradually become more prominent as she grows older.
On the way to eat beef noodles with Lin Youxi, Mei Fang also told Lin Youxi about the farce that happened today. Lin Youxi sighed after hearing it:
"This class teacher really went too far. And from what you said, does Peng Xue have to have her hair cut next week?"
"Given Peng Xue's love of beauty, I don't think she will compromise..."
"Hmm..." Lin Youxi nodded, "But I think it's also amazing that she can stick to her own ideas."
"Uh, it feels a little weird when these words come out of Squad Leader Lin's mouth..."
"Would it be out of place for me to say this?" Lin Youxi tilted her head.
“It’s not a question of the values of what I say.”
Mei Fang smiled slightly, "It sounds like you are defending Peng Xue."
"..."
Lin Youxi frowned slightly, "This has nothing to do with protecting Peng Xue. I'm just talking about the facts... However, if she has anything she wants to ask me about her studies, I can teach her."
"Remember to tell Yuanyuan in person. She will be very happy when she knows it." Mei Fang said gently.
"Hmm..." Lin Youxi said and sighed, "Compared to Peng Xue, I'm actually more worried about Yuan Yuan."
"What happened to Yuanyuan?"
Lin Youxi explained, "Yuanyuan is a person who trusts others easily. If Peng Xue continues to go against the head teacher, Yuanyuan will probably stand against the teacher sooner or later to protect Peng Xue. It's not that it's wrong to do so, but... once Yuanyuan decides that the other person is a friend, she will always give her heart without reservation, even if it puts herself in danger."
"Let's not talk about whether Peng Xue would do this or not. If one day her sincerity is betrayed by someone, I can hardly imagine how sad she would be."
"Why are you suddenly talking about something so far away..."
Mei Fang felt a little guilty after listening to this. According to the previous reasons, Youxi should just be talking about the sincerity between friends and talking about friendship. He shouldn't be hinting at me anything, right?
Maybe……
At the same time, the general cleaning work was also coming to an end. Because Mei Fang would bring beef noodles, Peng Xue and Xia Yuan asked the other students on duty to eat first, "Yuan Yuan and I will stay and wait for the sanitation inspector to come."
The team that inspects hygiene is usually composed of the hygiene committee members of each class. The stools can only be put down after the inspection is over, so there are only Xia Yuan and Peng Xue in the class now.
The two of them separated and checked on both sides to see if there were any scraps of paper or other debris on the ground, which would result in deduction of points.
"I checked here and it's gone. Where's Yuanyuan?"
Xia Yuan gave Peng Xue an OK gesture and said, "It's done."
"Then go to the bathroom and wash your hands first. I'll wait here for the inspector to come."
"Yeah, I just need to go to the bathroom."
Xia Yuan trotted to the bathroom, waiting for Ah Fang to bring her the delicious beef noodles. Seeing that the inspection team had already reached Class 7 next door, she thought it would be almost time.
However, she was worried about another thing.
Teacher Huang insisted that Xiaoxue cut her hair... Although junior high school students should pay attention to dressing appropriately, there is no school rule that says they can't have bangs... It's also annoying to suddenly have a new rule.
But if Xiaoxue continues to make trouble like this, just like Ah Fang said, no matter how disgusting the teacher is, there is no need to delay her future just to compete with her.
Xiaoxue's grades have already dropped a lot. If she continues to make trouble like this, it will only harm her. I would rather let Xiaoxue transfer to another class than let her go on like this.
Should I also be more firm in my stance and try to persuade Xiaoxue not to argue with the head teacher?
But for Xiaoxue, cutting her hair...is more painful than taking her life.
Oh, this is so difficult!
Xia Yuan left the bathroom somewhat melancholy. When she returned to the classroom, she saw Peng Xue cleaning something with her head down, making crisp sounds of glass hitting each other.
