公在厨房要了我好几次电影

Chapter 10

Proofreader: Akimi

While everyone was on guard, Shi Bufan casually said, “I want to sit with my benefactor.”

Ji Yanping felt a rush of blood surging up her head. “Who do you want to sit with?”

Everyone gazed at Shi Bufan, even Zhen Yuanbai with a look of confusion.

“With Zhen Yuanbai.” Shi Bufan said as if this was a matter of fact. “I want to sit next to him, so we can help each other in the future.”

Help each other, pfft. Ji Yanping helplessly laughed. “If you want to sit next to Zhen Yuanbai, sure. It depends on your abilities.”

This was basically a rejection. Ji Yanping turned around and walked back to the front. A second later, Shi Bufan stood up, causing the chair to screech.

Song Mo suddenly felt a numbness on his scalp and the stiffening of his muscles.

Ji Yanping had seen this too and was worried that Shi Bufan might stir up trouble again. “Shi Bufan, what are you doing? Return to your seat.”

If Shi Bufan listened to the teacher’s words, his name wouldn’t be Shi Bufan anymore. He walked to Song Mo and said in a friendly tone, “I want to change seats with you, but Teacher Li wants me to do so with my own abilities. See, how about the two of us...go outside and spar?”

Ji Yanping was speechless.

Song Mo grabbed his book and said, “No, no, no need. I, I will change seats with you.”

Zhen Yuanbai swallowed his saliva and subconsciously moved his books towards the wall.

Song Mo started to pack his books while Shi Bufan stood politely by the side, waiting. Qiu Jing who sat behind started to clap his hands and caused a disturbance. He even gave Shi Bufan a thumbs up while Ming Mai whistled and said, “Brother Shi, nice!”

Ji Yanping saw stars and her face was red from anger.

But she didn’t have the ability to force Shi Bufan to sit in his seat. After all, they weren’t kids in kindergarten and these students would even dare to beat teachers up if they were angered.

She pondered over this and believed that she must resolve the issue in a gentle manner. She softened her voice and said, “Shi Bufan, you know that’s not what I meant. If you want to sit next to Zhen Yuanbai, get second place in next month’s exams. That way, you can replace Song Mo, right? Now that everyone already picked their seats, do you think it’s suitable for you to do this?”

Shi Bufan pinched his earlobes, clearly not taking her words to heart. He lazily said, “What’s not suitable about this? Does Classmate Song have any objections?”

Song Mo clearly has objections! But so what?! Does he dare to mention it?!

He thought that he was being a coward in front of Shi Bufan but after considering a possible beating from him, he’d rather be taken as a coward.

At this time, Zhen Yuanbai pressed his hand on Song Mo’s book and Shi Bufan caught this action from the corner of his eye. He slightly stood up straight and heard Zhen Yuanbai say, “It isn’t suitable.”

Shi Bufan squinted his eyes and everyone in the class strained their ears to listen to the conversation.

Zhen Yuanbai was quite courageous. He said what the teacher doesn’t even dare to say and they all think Zhen Yuanbai was looking for a beating. After all, would Shi Bufan let him go for putting him in a difficult situation?

Students sitting in the front and back three rows all moved their seats and desks in unison, preventing Shi Bufan from implicating them in case he becomes crazy.

Even Ji Yanping had walked to the alarm. The moment Shi Bufan decides to beat Zhen Yuanbai, she will immediately call the guards over. In addition, after this, she will definitely kick Shi Bufan out of the elite class.

Shi Bufan’s desk-mate was Ye Lian who remained expressionless when he was called and he propped his chin up, acting as if he was watching a show.

Shi Bufan placed his hand down from his ears and stared at Zhen Yuanbai for a while. This was a reasonable explanation, but everyone believed that Shi Bufan wouldn’t agree. After all, there was something wrong with his brain and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn’t stir up trouble for a day.

“Then fine, I won’t change my seat.”

Once he said this, not only did everyone not relax, they became even more anxious. They all thought that Zhen Yuanbai would’ve been beaten up today, even Zhen Yuanbai himself.

Then, Shi Bufan walked back to his seat while Zhen Yuanbai looked nervously at him. He really didn’t mention changing his seat anymore and he even took out his English textbook, acting as if he was going to listen in class.

Ji Yanping withdrew her hand which was about to press the alarm and all the students turned back around. Zhen Yuanbai was slow and realized later on that the conflict was resolved. On the other hand, Song Mo grabbed onto his arms and thanked him several times, shedding tears of gratitude. His eyes even turned red.

Right now, their seating arrangement was:

Window: Zhen Yuanbai * Song Mo.

Wall: Student A * Student B.

Window: Shi Bufan * Ye Lian * Ming Mai * Qiu Jing.

Zhen Yuanbai started to pay attention in class when he heard movements from behind.

Shi Bufan harshly pushed a guy’s head and the latter was confused. They asked weakly, “Brother, Brother Shi, what’s the matter?”

“You’re blocking my view of the blackboard.”

Ye Lian turned around to look at him and snorted.

The blackboard is towards the window?

But the guy in front still placed his head down quietly.

Ye Lian didn’t like to talk in class, so he passed Shi Bufan a note. “How come you wouldn’t let me switch seats with Zhen Yuanbai?”

Shi Bufan looked at the note and replied, “Aren’t you embarrassed to sit in the front with that height of yours?”

Ye Lian thought: How come you’re not embarrassed to change seats with Song Mo?

He glanced around before writing: should we teach Zhen Yuanbai a lesson for infuriating you today?

Shi Bufan glanced at it and crumbled the paper, aiming his face. He said harshly, “F*ck you.”

Ye Lian chuckled out loud right then, his shoulders shaking.

After English class was over, everyone received their homework. Shi Bufan stared at it and then tugged his earlobes again, tugging at the guy in front again. “Change seats.”

He boldly and decisively sat in front. Zhen Yuanbai was doing his homework in seriousness, not hearing the movements in the back at all, until he was poked. He turned around to see Shi Bufan’s smiling face. “Once you’re done, give me your homework, so I can copy off you tonight.”

Zhen Yuanbai nodded hesitatingly. “I’ll give it to you once I’m done.”

Ye Lian sat behind him, by his side. He asked, “Brother Shi, you can see the blackboard from behind Zhen Yuanbai?”

“Scram.”

Whether he could see the blackboard or not, it was unclear. But, he could clearly see the people of his interest. Shi Bufan propped his chin and stared at Zhen Yuanbai, in a great mood.

Zhen Yuanbai had neat and legible handwriting when it comes to English. This made Shi Bufan enjoy copying his homework as well. While he copied, he would glance at Zhen Yuanbai, the corner of his lips curling up subconsciously.

Zhen Yuanbai was originally worried that Shi Bufan might influence him by sitting in the back. But unexpectedly, Shi Bufan kept quiet and whenever he poked him, it was during breaks. He never bothered him once in class.

Zhen Yuanbai sighed in relief.

He finished doing the math work and turned around to give this to Shi Bufan, when the latter said, “What are my chances of going from last to second place?”

The nearby classmates who heard this almost chuckled out loud. Even Zhen Yuanbai couldn’t help but grin. He thought this was disrespectful, so he pursed his lips and encouraged, “As long as you try, 100% you can do so.”

Shi Bufan nodded and looked at Song Mo with a provoking look.

Even though Song Mo received his gaze, he didn’t place it in his heart. After all, Shi Bufan wants to rise to second place with his grade? What a joke.

Ye Lian told this to Qiu Jing and Ming Mai; the two laughed arrogantly. “If you’re able to score second next month, I’ll give you my head!”

After saying this, Qiu Jing thought this wasn’t enough and immediately went to the school forum page. He initiated a poll and the title was: I heard that Shi Bufan decided to scores second on the exam next month in order to become desk-mates with his benefactor. What do you guys think?

Option 1: Shi Bufan? Impossible!

Option 2: One can’t be sure, so I’ll support him for now.

Maybe it was because this matter was too unbelievable and implausible, it had gotten tens of thousands of clicks in one night. There were thousands of votes and 98% voted for the first option.

After everyone voted, they didn’t forget to leave anonymous comments, ridiculing Shi Bufan.

Anonymous user: If it’s based on grades, Shi Bufan won’t be able to sit next to Zhen Yuanbai forever.

Anonymous user: Hahaha, this is the best joke I’ve heard this whole year!

Anonymous user: Shi Bufan! I support you! You’re first in fighting and second in learning! (Sorry, I can’t help but laugh at this statement).

Anonymous user: Fighting is all about punches. Whenever one hits, wherever it hurts. Could he be viewing testing as fighting? Does he think that as long as he doesn’t hand in a blank test, he can just fill in the blanks however he wants?

Anonymous user: Attention, attention! Shi Bufan’s becoming a good student! Ready, set, laugh!

Dancing Flowers: Hahahah.

Anonymous user: Person above, you’re exposed! Pray that Shi Bufan doesn’t see your username and beat you up!

When Qiu Jing scrolled through the forum in the middle of the night, he rolled around in his bed gasping in laughter. The post was gaining more and more popularity as well as comments, but only one comment had a few replies.

Anonymous user: It seems like Shi Bufan had moved to this city during the second year of high school. Maybe his grades are actually good? When the time comes, you guys will receive slaps to your faces.

Reply: Don’t mention how bad his grades are because of his personality, even if he had good friends, he hadn’t looked through a textbook for a few years already. Yet he wants to score second place? Pft.

Reply: There’s actually someone who likes a bully like Shi Bufan? Why don’t you familiarize yourself with the saying: get rid of the evil?

The originally quiet and peaceful school forum obtained many people’s attention because of this. Everyone was gossiping about this during their breaks and lunch.

But, Zhen Yuanbai and Shi Bufan both didn’t know.

Zhen Yuanbai noticed that Shi Bufan started to take his studies seriously as he would ask him questions from time to time. In class, he was even eager to participate and when he first raised his hand to answer a question, the teacher even shivered, thinking he was trying to cause trouble.

Ji Yanping was very shocked by this and hurried over to call Zhen Yuanbai to ask, “What’s the matter with Shi Bufan lately?”

Zhen Yuanbai’s eyes brightened and said, “Lately, he has been devoting a lot of time to studying and even asks me many questions every day. When I was explaining the answer, he even listens seriously. He was able to comprehend a lot of the math questions and go as far as applying this concept to answering other questions.”

“Really?” Ji Yanping asked, “He didn’t persuade you to get into fights or anything?”

Zhen Yuanbai immediately shook his head. “Of course not.”

Zhen Yuanbai was quite gratified. Shi Bufan treats his brothers very well and even listens to them. In class, he would be well-behaved and wouldn’t disturb him about anything, not annoying him to get answers to homework. He would do homework by himself and only ask him questions when he didn’t understand anything. Zhen Yuanbai wanted to thank the heavens for his changed attitude.

Ji Yanping knew that he doesn’t lie, so she softly nodded and let him go.

Zhen Yuanbai walked out of the office and saw an annoyed Shi Bufan. “Why’d she ask for you again?”

“Maybe she wants to hear me compliment you.” Since his attitude has gotten better, Zhen Yuanbai felt more relaxed. He followed Shi Bufan’s footsteps and the latter’s expression became happier. He curled his lips and asked, “You complimented me?”

“I did, I complimented you in seriousness.”

Shi Bufan was in a great mood and placed his arm over Zhen Yuanbai’s shoulders again. He was immediately tucked in his arms, creating a thump. He immediately pushed him and knitted his eyebrows, asking, “How come you can’t change this habit? Don’t hug me like this.”

“Since we’re already in a relationship, why are you still so shy?”

“?” Zhen Yuanbai felt that his words were strange. He reached over to pry Shi Bufan’s arm. “I’m uncomfortable like this.”

Shi Bufan casually placed his arm down and instead placed his arm around Zhen Yuanbai’s waist. Zhen Yuanbai’s face unexpectedly met Shi Bufan’s chest again, his eyes slightly widening at the sight.

“Let’s talk about something.”

“What?”

Shi Bufan stared at his detailed eyebrows and softly said, “Come to my house to do homework tonight, so you can also tutor me.”
