TL: Hua
When he woke up the next day, Xia Shu’an always felt that his mouth was stinging, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito, but where did the mosquitoes come from at this time of year?
He stood at the door of the room and touched his lips. His big eyes were full of doubts. Shen Boyan passed by and couldn’t help but feel guilty. He lowered his head and quickly walked into the bathroom.
After a few minutes, he came out as a good and honest young man again.
“Xia Xia, come here quickly. This is the egg pancake I learned yesterday. Try it and see if it tastes good.” He came out with two plates, then turned around and took out the hot milk from the microwave, which dinged just in time.
His movements are very skillful.
The taste is unknown yet, but the smell is very tempting. It’s hard to imagine that this is Young Master Shen, who couldn’t even cook a boiled egg a few weeks ago.
Shen Boyan said in a good mood while peeling the eggshells:
“There are only morning classes on Saturday. Where should we go in the afternoon?”
“How about I take you skating? But there is no good skating rink in Changning. Next time I will take you to Rongchuan. Today, why don’t we go play billiards? Xiaxia, do you like playing billiards?”
After saying that, he put the peeled eggs into Xia Shu’an’s bowl.
“I’ve never tried it.” The egg pancake was even more delicious than Xia Shu’an imagined. He couldn’t help but narrow his eyes happily and whisper while sighing:
“But I can give it a try.”
——However, there is no such thing as a happy weekend.
Xia Shu’an’s competition team conducted a surprise inspection and decided on the list of participants for next week’s competition. Therefore, even if Xia Shu’an’s performance is among the top and he is included in the competition list, it’s impossible to waste the whole weekend playing without preparing for the exam. This is an insult to other competitors.
Shen Boyan, who suddenly learned the news: “…”
“No, it doesn’t matter.” He endured the pain and squeezed out each word from his throat:
“It’s just a weekend; I—I really don’t mind.”
Xia Shu’an: He looks so pitiful.
Although the boy was much taller than him, Xia Shu’an couldn’t help but pat his head.
He whispered in his ear, “If I get the ranking, can I celebrate with you?”
Ranking? Celebrate?
Shen Boyan’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Okay, yes, we can have a big celebration after you get the rank; at that time you have to listen to me in everything.”
Although he didn’t understand why he had to listen to Shen Boyan even though he won, Xia Shu’an still nodded.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
“Celebration” was like a plump, juicy, and sweet grape hanging in front of Shen Boyan, which instantly made him spend a weekend where he was reading books. However, after Xia Shu’an took the exam the next week, he got bad news.
——Xia Shu’an was not selected to participate in the competition.
“This is impossible.” When Shen Boyan received the news from the class’s know-it-all, he refused to believe the result without hesitation.
“How could Xia Xia not be selected?”
He had inquired about it. Although anyone in the first, second, or third grade could participate in this competition, Xia Xia’s performance ranked among the top three even among high school seniors. A total of five people were selected to participate in the competition this time. There was no way that his Xia Xia would lose.
“No, I have to ask the teacher for clarification.”
Just as Shen Boyan was about to stand up, the know-it-all kid quickly waved his hand, leaned forward, and said with a mysterious face:
“I already asked around. It was originally Xia Shu’an, but Lu Liang, who is in Class 1, Grade 3, relied on some scrap money his family had to bring Xia Shu’an down. Because the other few people were all seniors in Grade 3, he felt that he would lose face if he was not selected. I found out about this from Lu Liang’s deskmate, and Lu Liang even proudly boasted about it.”
Shen Boyan’s eyes gradually became dangerous.
“Lu Liang, hey, I know him. With the little money his family has, let alone my parents, they are not even qualified to carry my shoes.”
Shen Boyan sneered again.
“Bullying people with money, huh? Well, let’s show him how it’s done.”
After school that night, Xia Shu’an’s face was covered with a layer of gloom. Although he didn’t show any sadness, could a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old teenager really know how to hide emotion perfectly?
Shen Boyan had known about this matter since morning. He didn’t avoid it but thoughtfully said:
“Xia Xia, I know about the competition. I will help you solve it.”
Xia Shu’an looked at him in surprise: “How?”
Shen Boyan raised his chest proudly: “Don’t worry, I’m different from that person. I’ll let you qualify for the competition in a dignified manner.”
Before the competition, a big shot came to the principal’s office.
This big shot is a university physics professor with an international reputation. He is also the honorary mentor of this competition.
Faced with such a senior who not only has an extraordinary status in academia but is also highly respected in the education world, the entire high school department is naturally cautious.
He first smilingly made a recognition of the school’s development in the subject of physics and then euphemistically led to the competition and then even more euphemistically and politely proposed that he would like to take a look at the test paper, saying that it’s his personal desire to see the future of the physics world’s new talent.
Can the principal refuse? This is definitely not possible.
After looking at the latest test, the professor discovered the problem.
He pointed to one of the test papers and said, “This classmate named Xia Shu’an has a lot of ideas in solving the questions. I can feel the momentum from his way of solving the questions, and his results are also very good. Why was he not selected for the competition?”
Several teachers looked at each other, but they didn’t say anything.
In the end, it was the leader of the competition team who took the blame.
“It was my mistake. Seeing that he was still a sophomore in high school, I was worried that he would be too nervous because of his young age, so I planned to let him study for another year.”
“Alas, there is never a perfect preparation for a competition. As teachers, we should trust our students. How about we take the test again? If this student Xia Shu’an’s grades are still very good this time, let’s give him this opportunity, okay?”
Can the principal say this is a bad idea? Of course not.
So, several students from the competition class returned and took the exam again. This time, the professor personally corrected and supervised the selection, and Xia Shu’an was, without a doubt, selected.
Knowing that he had been selected for the competition, Xia Shu’an was naturally happy, but it was too early to be happy. After all, he was only qualified to participate in the competition and didn’t win the award yet. The real test has just begun.
However, not long after being happy, the next day, when Xia Shu’an came home from school, he became silent again.
Shen Boyan asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Why are you unhappy?”
Xia Shu’an bit his lip and said softly, “A senior who was previously selected was dismissed.”
Shen Boyan was stunned for a moment before he could react: “What’s going on?”
Is it because he didn’t perform well in the second exam?
Xia Shu’an looked at him, a whirlpool reflected in his dark eyes, and he said slowly, “His place was changed to Lu Liang.”
Shen Boyan’s expression froze, and the next second he suddenly laughed.
“Hahahaha, this Lu Liang is awesome, awesome…”
His smile gradually turned grim, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
“Originally I wanted to let him go, but since he insists on seeking death, I will let him experience death.”
Xia Shu’an looked at him in surprise: “You want to…. You don’t have to. It’s too much.”
“Don’t worry.” There was a faint smile on the boy’s lips, but his eyes were cold.
“I won’t do anything more than him.”
At noon on Saturday, after school, Lu Liang was asking a few of his close classmates to go out to play together and wished him success in the competition in advance!
A few people walked out of the school gate and were stopped in front of a convenience store. The group that stopped them was led by a man who was very tall and strong, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, like a male model on TV.
Lu Liang recognized him. He was Shen Boyan, who had just transferred here this semester. When he first transferred in, there was a rumor in the school that he was the eldest son of a wealthy family in Rongchuan.
Lu Liang felt that his own family was also rich and powerful, so he didn’t take him seriously. Seeing him blocking the way and refusing to leave, he said arrogantly, “What’s the matter?”
“The matter I had with you.” The boy towered over him, looking disdainfully out of the corner of his eye:
“A good dog doesn’t block the way. Get lost.”
“You motherf…”
“My mother?” The boy’s eyes suddenly became sharp:
“Did you just curse my mom?”
“Do it!”
Before Lu Liang could react, the scene turned into a melee. However, what looked like a group fight was actually a unilateral attack by Shen Boyan. He was able to stand up to several opponents, but he singled out Lu Liang to beat him up and looked very dedicated. Several passersby were shocked. Some people came out to break up the fight, screaming to call the police.
Shen Boyan: “Report it!”
The passers-by: “Huh?”
Shen Boyan kicked Lu Liang over, stepped on his shoulder, and said impatiently:
“Didn’t you say call the police? Do it quickly!”
“Huh?” The passerby was confused, but he still called the police.
Not long after, two roaring police cars took away several people.
It’s not uncommon for high school students to fight. The police station here called their respective homeroom teachers and the parents according to the procedure. The homeroom teachers arrived quickly, but because Shen Boyan’s parents were not in Changning City, they just called.
After the call is connected:
“Hello, hello, this is Changning Police Station. Are you the father of student Shen Boyan?”
“Ah, what, the police station?” It was probably lunchtime now. The parent of this student wasn’t worried at all. He even turned the receiver into a loudspeaker and said to the child’s mother:
“It’s a call from the police station. Xiao Yan has entered the police station.”
“Oh.” The mother said calmly and very politely, “Comrade police, has our little Yan done something?”
Several policemen: Good lord, this is a habitual offender, right? Look at the calm attitude of these parents.
“Student Shen Boyan fought with another student and is now at the police station.”
“Oh, so there was a fight. Is he there now? Can I ask what the reason is?”
The policeman gave the mobile phone to Shen Boyan. Shen Boyan lazily yawned and said:
“Because he used his family’s meager wealth to bully others. I saw injustice on the road, so I have to help the innocent. Dad, when his parents come over later, you have to show them what true bullying is. Do you understand?”
Father Shen: “Isn’t that too much? Okay, okay, who are the parents of the other party? I’ll check first.”
Shen Boyan smoothly said a name.
Father Shen: “I have an impression. I understand. I’ll hang up now and let the assistant check.”
After hanging up the phone, several police officers looked at Shen Boyan, and their eyes changed instantly.
Awesome, now it turns into a battle between the Celestial Dragons.
Watch the play.
Eat the melon.
After the homeroom teacher arrived, he first gave a lecture to a few students before taking them away. Several parents also arrived. Lu Liang’s eyes lit up when he saw his father arriving. Just as he was about to call out, his father turned to him and slapped him in the face.
“What are you doing? Apologize to Young Master Shen!”
Lu Liang was stunned and said blankly, “What do you mean Young Master Shen?”
Before he could say anything, his father forced him to apologize sincerely to Shen Boyan. Shen Boyan didn’t take this level of acting seriously. He sneered and said
“You don’t need to apologize to me. I just can’t stand your son’s bullying attitude. He can take advantage of others because his family allows him to. I only have one condition: I want him to apologize to his victim, I mean two victims, for what he did in this physics competition.”
“Also, if you don’t have the ability, don’t act blindly. You see, although I act like a hooligan, have I ever used my family’s connections to plaster gold on my face?”
Shen Boyan pointed at the father and son of the Lu family and cursed angrily, but even so, the man who was almost thirty years older than Shen Boyan remained silent. The scene was quite bizarre. After delivering the message, Shen Boyan swaggered out of the police station.
Everyone present watched him go away like a king.
Is this the battle between the Celestial Dragons? That was really exciting.
Shen Boyan didn’t care what the people behind him were thinking. When he walked out of the police station, Xia Shu’an was already waiting at the door. The young man’s lonely figure fell under a big tree at the entrance of the police station. The afternoon sunshine in November was warm but not scorching. Xia Shu’an was looking down at the stones on the ground. When he looked up and saw him, he immediately came over.
Shen Boyan looked down at him: “How long have you been waiting? Are you hungry?”
“Not long, don’t worry; I had some snacks.”
Xia Shu’an handed him the chocolate hidden in his pocket, blinked, and said with a bit of slyness:
“Here you go, this chocolate is still delicious.”
It’s the one that Shen Boyan gave to Xia Shu’an before.
The boy chuckled, broke off a piece, and put it in his mouth.
Well, as expected, this chocolate is the most delicious.
