Chapter 9 - Punished To Stand

Start from the beginning
                                    

Chu Yu coincidentally met Lu Shi's sight.

Lu Shi's beautifully-contoured hand held a pencil that was neither long nor short, his knuckles flexed to an arc as he went through a book of questions with a thickness that gave Chu Yu a headache when he looked at it.

His fringe covered half of his eyebrows and his eyes were a deep black.

His features were still as handsome and impactful as before.

Chu Yu often stared at his reflection in the mirror and so his standards had been elevated by the level of his own appearance. He wouldn't easily think that anyone looked good.

But in his opinion, Lu Shi was truly, very much a handsome guy.

Breaking from each other's gaze, Chu Yu quickly turned around and sat properly.

Oh shit, will he think I was purposely watching him?

No, but I really do seem to be purposely watching him?

No, rather, why am I purposely watching him?

After a while, Chu Yu wasn't able to dwell on it much anymore; the feeling of heat in his body had come up in waves and he went back to weakly slumping down on the desk. He noticed his nails had grown a bit longer and it was time to cut them- again.

Second period was English.

Chu Yu couldn't sleep, his whole body was feverish and he felt dizzy. He wasn't in the mood to eat candy or read manga and only held a fruit candy in his hand, turning and rolling it inside his palm, in a trance.

The English teacher came in, looked around, and pointedly asked, "Is everyone present?"

Some eyes quietly turned to Chu Yu's seat.

Wang Lilin put down her lesson plan, greeted them in English as usual, and then began class. She was in her thirties, wearing office attire with her hair neatly tied up; subscribing to an intellectual aesthetic.

"This question is similar to the ones that came out at the end of last semester. Speaking of which, I spent several days analyzing your scores from last semester's final exam and found many problems. Some students, in particular, are dragging down the class average."

Wang Lilin's brows had creased when she first took over Second Year Class A. She didn't like to take this type of class with both rich children and top students mixed up. If it weren't for the high salary and bonus given by Jianing Private School, she wouldn't accommodate such students at this kind of school.

"What I disapprove of most are these insects! You believe that if you have some money at home, you will also have money for life! I have been teaching at this school for many years and to countless students. Siblings who have been cast out from their homes, those who have suffered a reversal of fortune and fallen into debt, I have seen it all before!"

Chu Yu listened and thought in his heart; English teachers who were like this, he'd also seen them all before.

In the next second, with a 'thump', a piece of chalk hit Chu Yu's arm, leaving behind a cloud of chalk dust.

"Student Chu Yu who is peacefully sleeping, tell me, what is the answer for this question?"

Chu Yu wasn't actually sleeping. He stood up and quickly swept his gaze over the question and options on the projection screen. "It's D."

He had poor grades, but before coming to Jianing, he'd attended international schools throughout elementary and junior high. He wasn't good at any other subjects, but English was the exception.
