158: Chapter 158 The child is just being silly and doesn't know any better.
Fang Xun eventually got on the scooter.
Tang Xiaotang was small, so she squatted happily on the small footrest in front of Jiang Qin, nestled between Jiang Qin's legs.
As for Fang Xun, he was arranged to sit in the back.
The three of them, in this completely unsafe manner, puttered their way into the bike shed.
Stepping off the footrest, Tang Xiaotang actually felt a bit like she hadn't had enough.
"Come on, Xiao Tang, I'll take you to buy something delicious," Jiang Qin said, putting her arm around Tang Xiaotang.
"Mm-hmm!" Tang Xiaotang nodded frantically.
"Actually..." Fang Xun stepped forward to block them, whipping out two steamed buns from his chest.
"I have some buns here; I brought them specifically for you."
With that, Fang Xun unceremoniously stuffed the buns into Tang Xiaotang's hands.
"You're hungry, right? Go ahead and eat."
Tang Xiaotang looked at the buns, then at the bewildered Jiang Qin.
"Thank you, you're a good person." Tang Xiaotang nodded, then very solemnly tucked the buns into her school uniform pockets.
Both pockets were stuffed to the point of bulging.
"Wait, you're not eating them now?" Fang Xun was surprised; she had just been fighting a dog for a grilled sausage a moment ago.
"I want to... save them for my mother to eat," Tang Xiaotang said with a heavy expression.
"Xiao Tang, I'll buy you more small bread rolls." Jiang Qin was deeply moved and declared she would take over Tang Xiaotang's meals.
"Thank you, Qin Qin. But I don't want to trouble you; this is already very good."
With tears of gratitude, Tang Xiaotang said, "There's food in the trash cans too."
"Xiao Tang..."
"Qin Qin..."
Watching the two girls hugging and crying together, Fang Xun's eyes nearly rolled out of his head.
Tang Xiaotang might be a bit dim, but she definitely wasn't *this* stupid.
He suspected Tang Xiaotang might have hit her head when she fell into this place.
A short while later, the group arrived at the school canteen together.
Fang Xun watched as Tang Xiaotang held a grilled sausage in each hand, while Jiang Qin had actually bought her a lot of bread, carrying it for her in a bag.
Jiang Qin was spoiling Tang Xiaotang a bit too much.
"Fang Xun, you're not allowed to bully Xiao Tang from now on."
On the way back, Jiang Qin didn't forget to give him a warning.
"Fine, fine, I get it." Fang Xun curled his lip; he hadn't bullied anyone at all, okay?
He had even helped Tang Xiaotang chase away Big Yellow.
Finally, they returned to the classroom.
Tang Xiaotang went back to her seat, while Fang Xun and Jiang Qin went to their spot by the window.
It was noon, and the sun was at its peak.
Fang Xun's seat was being baked hot by the sun.
Even after pulling the curtain, Fang Xun couldn't help but feel warm.
"It's really hot today."
Fang Xun muttered to himself unconsciously.
"Then why don't you take off your jacket?" Jiang Qin said, speechless. "You wear that jacket all day long. Fang Xun, you aren't *only* wearing a jacket, are you?"
"How is that possible? I'm wearing a T-shirt," Fang Xun argued immediately.
"Then why do you wrap yourself up so tightly every day?"
"Fine, I'll take it off." As Fang Xun spoke, he had already unzipped it. After taking off the school jacket, he casually draped it over the back of his chair.
After removing the jacket, Fang Xun didn't forget to stretch his arms.
Once he finished stretching, he noticed that the air around him seemed to have gone silent.
It was limited to just the small space around him.
The atmosphere was incredibly eerie.
Other students were reading or doing homework, but Jiang Qin beside him was frozen in place.
Her face had turned completely red, and it looked like steam was rising from her head.
"What's wrong?" Fang Xun thought something had happened to Jiang Qin. He reached out, intending to feel her forehead.
"You... you... you..."
Jiang Qin stammered "you" three times, then frantically grabbed the school jacket from the back of the chair and stuffed it into Fang Xun's arms.
"Put it on, quickly!" Jiang Qin urged anxiously.
"It's hot. I already took it off, why should I put it back on?" Fang Xun asked, puzzled.
"Aaaaaah... How can you be like this!"
Jiang Qin was worried to death. How could someone be so embarrassing?
"What? Didn't you tell me to take it off?"
Fang Xun was even more confused.
"Don't be so loud!" Jiang Qin became even more frantic.
During their brief argument, some curious students had already looked over.
"Holy crap, Brother Xun, you're a legend!!!"
As soon as that student turned around, he let out a cry of amazement.
"Huh?"
"You're amazing, Brother Xun! A true hero!"
"Brother Xun is the best!"
"Legendary!"
"That's freaking insane, Brother Xun!!!!"
"That's how it's done! You've completely stumped the Class Monitor, haha!!!"
"Class Monitor, are you happy, Class Monitor!!!"
In an instant, the classroom erupted into a cacophony of voices.
"The Old Class Teacher is coming!"
Instantly, the 'monkey mountain' fell silent.
It became as quiet as a rabbit's burrow.
A moment later, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses walked in.
"Noisy, noisy, noisy. All you know is how to be noisy. I could hear you from a mile away.
Think you're so capable?
Why don't you come to my office to be noisy?
Jiang Qin, next time they're noisy, write down all their names. Everyone gets a worksheet; nobody leaves until it's finished."
"Yes..." Seeing the homeroom teacher lose her temper, Jiang Qin immediately responded in a small voice.
"Sigh, why hasn't the blackboard been erased yet? Fang Xun, come up and erase the blackboard. You're the one talking the most every single day. Get up here now."
Upon hearing the teacher's words, before Fang Xun could even stand up, a chorus of 'monkey noises' erupted.
"Ooh~~~~~~~~" *N
Fang Xun: "?"
Was there something wrong with his classmates?
"Put your clothes on." Seeing Fang Xun about to get up, Jiang Qin grabbed the jacket and tried to drape it over his shoulders.
Seeing Jiang Qin's actions, the students became even more excited.
"Ooh~~~~~~~~~~" *N
"Why put it on? The chalk dust will just get my uniform dirty."
With that, Fang Xun stood up fearlessly, pushed Jiang Qin's small stool forward, and walked out from behind her.
Then, with a thunderous stride that looked down upon all others, he walked toward the podium.
As for the increasingly loud monkey calls...
Fang Xun simply took it as his Divine Being classmates firing a salute for the birth of a king.
Behind Fang Xun, Jiang Qin let out a wail that didn't sound quite human.
Of course, Jiang Qin's voice was very soft and wasn't heard by Fang Xun.
A moment later, Fang Xun was standing on the podium, picking up the blackboard eraser.
It was at this very moment that the boiling noise in the class reached its peak.
"Brother Xun is a legend! He's using his ultimate right in the Old Class Teacher's face!"
"Legendary, Brother Xun!"
Fang Xun disdainfully spun the blackboard eraser in his hand a few times.
A boss is a boss, a firework of a different kind.
Even erasing a blackboard drew everyone's gaze.
Just as Fang Xun was feeling proud, his ear was suddenly grabbed by the homeroom teacher.
"Fang Xun, what kind of clothes are you wearing?!!!!!"
Fang Xun: "?"
Hearing the teacher's words, it finally dawned on Fang Xun that Jiang Qin's insistence on him wearing his jacket might have had a hidden reason.
Thinking this, Fang Xun finally looked down at himself.
It was a very nice, custom-printed white T-shirt.
Except for the pattern...
"Teacher, if I said my deskmate and I were just playing around, would you believe me?"
