Chapter 61 Remembered
"What are you doing?"
Zhao Weimin turned his head away, not looking directly at He Genbao, but just smiled and repeated a sentence in his local dialect, his eyes actually still watching Guan Xiaolin's reaction.
"I'm not here to do anything, just to see what it's like."
"I heard that Guan Xiaolin wanted to date you, but you rejected her? Let me see which classmate rejected Guan Xiaolin."
Guan Xiaolin frowned: "Zhao Weimin, are you just looking for trouble because you have nothing better to do?"
"This is just a misunderstanding between us classmates, what are you doing here?"
He Genbao, his face dark, watched their conversation and said to Zhao Weimin, "Which class are you in? You're disturbing my studies, I'm going to find your teacher."
Zhao Weimin was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, disturbing your studies? Your classmate is really interesting. Who disturbed your studies?"
"I just came to say a few words to you, to get to know you, and that's considered disturbing your studies? Is your studying like a balloon, floating away at the slightest breeze, deflating at the slightest prick?"
He then turned to Guan Xiaolin and said, "Now I understand why she doesn't want to date. You're interfering with her studies, hahaha!"
"Well!"
As he was laughing, He Genbao walked over with his head down, forcefully pushed him aside, and walked out.
"Hmm, so you hit someone?" Zhao Weimin immediately grabbed his shoulder. "Don't go yet, why did you hit someone?"
"I didn't hit anyone! If you're bothering me, I'll tell the teacher!" He Genbao shouted, glaring at him.
"Fine, go ahead and tell the teacher, I'll go with you." Zhao Weimin sneered, "I also want to ask the teacher, I just came to your classroom to find a classmate, and I only asked you one question, and you bumped into me and made my chest hurt. What kind of logic is that?"
He Genbao glared at him: "Which class are you in?"
"I'm in Class 3, and our homeroom teacher is Ms. Lü. I also know that your homeroom teacher is Ms. Tian. Let's go find the teacher together, and by the way, we can talk about how your Class 1 monitor wanted to give you some advice, but you insisted that someone was trying to date you."
Zhao Weimin sneered, "All you can think about is dating your female classmates, and you're still talking about studying? Who are you trying to fool? Yourself?"
He Genbao didn't say anything and walked straight to the teachers' office.
You're disturbing my studies, I'm going to tell the teacher... I don't believe the teacher won't help me teach you a lesson...
The teachers in the teachers' office were just finishing their evening self-study session and starting to go home.
When He Genbao saw his homeroom teacher, Ms. Tian, he quickly went up to her and said, "Ms. Tian, someone is interfering with my studies."
Teacher Tian's usually stern face suddenly furrowed slightly: Why are you here again?
Why are so many people interfering with your studies?
But we can't not ask.
"What happened?"
"A student from Class 3 was standing at the door of Class 1, looking for something I had to do," He Genbao said.
"During class?"
"After evening self-study," He Genbao said, "Teacher Tian, could you talk to Teacher Lü from Class 3 and ask him to keep an eye on his students?"
Upon hearing this, Teacher Tian felt helpless once again.
How am I supposed to say that to my colleagues?
"Keep an eye on your own students, and don't come causing trouble in my class."
What kind of person would I be? What kind of grudge would I have against my colleague, and how much face would I have embarrassed them?
What is He Genbao thinking? Even though I'm the homeroom teacher, I can't control or say everything.
"Um, He Genbao, it's like this..."
Teacher Tian gestured for He Genbao to stop talking, "I've been keeping an eye on you for a while now, and your attitude towards learning is very good."
He Genbao was delighted upon hearing this and looked at Teacher Tian, waiting for his praise.
Instead of continuing the praise, Teacher Tian changed the subject: "However, learning often requires overcoming difficulties. We've all studied many articles, and many people in the past persevered in their studies under harsh conditions and difficult circumstances..."
"Me too." He Genbao nodded vigorously.
The same to you?
Teacher Tian looked at him suspiciously: "Is your family struggling financially? Can you tell me about it?"
He Genbao immediately shook his head violently.
"It's okay if you don't tell me. I'm planning to visit your home in a few days to see how things are going. If you have any problems, we'll figure out how to solve them..."
At this point in Teacher Tian's speech, He Genbao's eyes showed a hint of nervousness: "No need, no need! Teacher Tian, you don't need to come to my house..."
"Why don't you use it? I can see that you are under a lot of pressure from your studies, unlike your classmates. If this continues, you won't be able to make it to the college entrance exam," Teacher Tian said. "I'll talk to your family and ask them not to put so much pressure on you. Studying is studying, but you can't make everything related to studying."
Upon hearing this, He Genbao wasn't just nervous, he was terrified: "No need, Teacher Tian! I'll never complain to you again, please don't come to my house!"
After saying that, he turned and ran, knocking Zhao Weimin, who had come to watch the commotion, to the ground, and ran all the way back to the boys' dormitory.
Zhao Weimin grimaced as he stood up, brushing the mud off his pants, and said incredulously, "You bumped into me again? Is this never going to end? And in front of the teacher?"
Teacher Tian said sternly, "Zhao Weimin, is it you who's looking for our classmate?"
"High school seniors should prioritize their studies; other things can be dealt with after the college entrance exam."
Seeing his cold face, devoid of any smile, Zhao Weimin couldn't help but shrink back: "I understand, teacher."
But he really remembered He Genbao, who complained about him to the teacher and even knocked him to the ground.
If I don't return this, I'll be turned into clay.
Guan Xiaolin and Wang Man also rushed over. They saw that He Genbao had run away, Zhao Weimin had been scolded by Teacher Tian, and Teacher Tian and the other teachers had all gone home after get off work, thinking that the matter was over.
"I'm warning you, Zhao Weimin, you're not allowed to bully our classmates!" Guan Xiaolin said.
Zhao Weimin also smiled and said, "What happened between me and He Genbao has nothing to do with you. It's not like I bullied him. He hit me twice today and even complained about me once. I'm going to get my revenge."
"Why don't you say you started this trouble?" Guan Xiaolin frowned. "If you hadn't gone to him, would all this have happened?"
Zhao Weimin scoffed, "What's wrong with me looking for him? Can't I? I've never been bullied here at the county high school!"
"Guan Xiaolin, don't get involved in this. It's none of your business."
After speaking, he lowered his head, patted the mud off his pants, and walked away without looking back.
Guan Xiaolin was still a little worried. After leaving school and returning home with Wang Man, she only glanced at the crow twice before sitting on the sofa, looking sullen.
"What's wrong, Linlin?" her mother asked.
Guan Xiaolin didn't want to talk about it at first, but when she thought that she might not be able to hide it from her parents, she decided to take the initiative to explain and ask them for advice. So she told them everything about He Genbao and Zhao Weimin from beginning to end.
After hearing this, her mother was somewhat puzzled: "That He Genbao loves to tattle, but he hasn't done anything to you, so why are you bothering with him?"
"I was just trying to manage the class and help my classmates as the class monitor... I never expected him to say something like that to me."
Guan Xiaolin said with distress.
Her mother couldn't help but burst out laughing, covering her mouth: "You know what, he actually really likes studying. It feels like when you asked him to date you, Linlin, he just rejected you outright."
"In other people's eyes, you're not as important as studying..."
"Mom!" Guan Xiaolin slammed her hand on the sofa in anger. "Why are you laughing at me too? I'm so annoyed! If Zhao Weimin and He Genbao get into a fight over this, I feel like I'll be the one causing trouble!"
Guan Xiaolin's father came out of his study upon hearing the noise, and after listening to her troubles, he couldn't help but smile.
"It looks a bit messy when you don't touch it, but once you do, it becomes a complete mess."
"Comrade Guan Xiaolin, this time you've met a real test."
