Chapter 60: High School Version of "Infernal Affairs"

Looking down from the air at Qingyi High School, it is a standard rectangle, with over a dozen buildings lined up in sequence, interspersed with flowers, grass, and trees, making it look neat, clean, and compact. The layout is tight, and the nickname "Garden High School" is well-deserved. The main gate, shaped like a thick book, symbolizes the benefit of opening a book, and is a landmark of the school. Directly opposite the main gate is the administrative office building, in front of which is a large square with a flag-raising platform and a viewing stand. Every Monday, all teachers and students gather here for the flag-raising ceremony. For some major events, when the auditorium is not enough, they are temporarily arranged here. On one side of the square stands a rockery, with a small bridge and a stream, and a pavilion, on which the school motto "Broad Knowledge, Strict Etiquette, Diligent Study, and Practical Action" is engraved.

Two main roads running through the entire campus divide the school into three parts. In the middle are the administrative building and the teaching buildings. On the left are the large playground, basketball court, ping-pong court, and small gymnasium. On the right are the dormitories, cafeteria, auditorium, and bathhouse. Both sides of the main roads are lined with lush sycamore trees, which echo the redbud trees between the teaching buildings, each forming a unique landscape. Perhaps due to the location of the boys' and girls' dormitories, there is a strange phenomenon at Qingyi High School. At noon, when the students flood out of the various floors, they automatically分流, following the ancient principle of boys on the left and girls on the right. Of course, this is just a rough estimate; there are always some cross-dressers mixed in with the girls, and there are always some "Spring Brothers" who are familiar with the boys.

So when Wen Liang stood under a tree on the right main road waiting for Ji Su, the continuous stream of girls made his eyes dazzle. At that moment, the uncle had a strange epiphany: no wonder some island country uses hundreds of actors in their films; sometimes quality doesn't matter, quantity is the king!

Ji Su and Meng Ke walked over, laughing and talking. Seeing Wen Liang by the roadside, Meng Ke came up first, circling around him and tut-tutting, "Wen classmate, you're really bad! You found someone else's mistake while copying homework but didn't say anything?"

Wen Liang still had a good impression of this girl and sighed, "Meng classmate, you really wronged me. While copying the homework, I had to argue with Ren Yi, and when my eyes blurred, I copied 'b' as 'd'..."

Meng Ke chuckled, her eyes narrowing into a crescent moon shape, and she scratched her cheek with her index finger, saying, "I'll believe you when pigs fly! Oh, my Su Su is so silly, she'll be bullied by you, poor thing!"

Ji Su, who was standing by the side, was caught in the crossfire. She pouted and tried to tickle Meng Ke, who begged for mercy, panting, "I'm afraid of you, I'll go, I'll go, hehe..."

Meng Ke blinked and waved to Wen Liang before leaving. The warm, lazy sunlight of autumn noon filtered through the distance, casting a golden glow on the ground. Ji Su stood tall and graceful, her expression serene, her face as flawless as jade, with only a faint down on her earlobes, adding a touch of cuteness and mischief.

"Last night, I received a call from Dad. Mom is very happy, and her health has improved. I... I'm also very happy..."

Wen Liang could feel the girl's genuine happiness and walked with her towards the cafeteria, smiling, "Yeah, he should be fine. But it might take some time before he can come home. You know, there are still some procedures to handle."

Ji Su nodded and suddenly changed the topic, "How did you spot the mistake in the problem this morning?" Chemistry isn't that difficult; as long as you pay attention to the key points and master the basic problem-solving techniques, getting a high score isn't hard. However, in reality, many students still struggle with chemistry. The fundamental reason is that chemistry problems often contain small traps. If your knowledge is incomplete or you are a bit careless, you will fall into these traps.

"If I tell you that my grades are actually pretty good, would you believe me?" Before his rebirth, Wen Liang's grades were only average, but he worked hard in his final year of high school and eventually got into a decent university in the capital. Returning to high school, he couldn't claim to be the best, but at least he could be in the top ranks, and he certainly wouldn't end up at the bottom like Li Yang predicted, along with Ren Yi.

Ji Su smiled, turned around, took a few steps backward, and then turned back, playfully saying, "I'll believe you if you do well this time, but if you don't, I won't."

"Ha, you should learn to be as thick-skinned as me!"

They walked along like this, but Wen Liang couldn't find a good opportunity to speak. He had waited for Ji Su by the roadside to have a serious talk with her. If it was to thank him for helping Ji Zheng, there was no need for her to bring breakfast and do other things every day. As a grown man, Wen Liang didn't care, but Ji Su was a girl and didn't need to bear the gossip.

But Ji Su was smart. Whenever Wen Liang tried to speak, she would change the topic. After a few attempts, Wen Liang gave up. Ji Su was outwardly gentle but inwardly strong; if she insisted, he would let her have her way.

To be honest, aside from other things, being able to eat the breakfast brought by a beautiful girl was quite a pleasant experience.

They separated near the cafeteria, and Wen Liang went to the first floor to get a bowl of rice and sat down at his usual spot. Ren Yi had already eaten most of his meal and, seeing Wen Liang, immediately reached over with his spoon, picking up two pieces of meat and putting them in his mouth. The two often ate together, and they had argued many times over the meat, but Wen Liang was used to it.

After a few routine jokes, an unexpected guest arrived. Liu Zhihe, with his plump body, sat down on the bench, and the whole table seemed to tremble. It was hard to imagine that such a large person could move so smoothly in a fight.

"Liu Boss, it's you?" Ren Yi, though from the same junior high school as Liu Zhihe, had a rather average relationship with him and never expected him to sit here.

Liu Zhihe smiled at him, "Finished eating?"

Ren Yi nodded, puzzled, not knowing what he meant.

"If you're finished, why are you still here?"

Ren Yi finally understood that he was being a bother and, without a word, ran off with his bowl. Wen Liang watched his back and smiled bitterly, "If this guy were in the revolutionary era, he'd be a traitor."

"A traitor is fine as long as he's useful."

Wen Liang frowned, "What's up, do you need something from me?"

Liu Zhihe looked around and suddenly lowered his voice, "There's a big deal, want to do it?"

Wen Liang stuffed a mouthful of rice and said, "Tell me more."

"Bai Huan and Hou Qiang have been trying to get a girl from No. 19 High School, a so-called school beauty, for a long time but haven't succeeded. They've prepared some drugs and plan to take her. This is a good opportunity. Once they use the drugs, I'll bring people to catch them in the act. Then... hmm!"

Wen Liang was shocked by his words and spat out the rice, "What?"

Liu Zhihe gave a sinister smile, his face's fat jiggling, "A gentleman doesn't let a grudge go unavenged; if you're going to play, play big!"

This guy is a little mad!

Wen Liang's head ached. "Brother, don't cause me more trouble. You said, 'Yeah, your idea is good, but it's too difficult to carry out...'

Liu Zhihe suddenly deflated, "I know. Their fathers are the vice-mayor and the district chief. They will definitely step in when something like this happens. I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid of getting my dad into trouble!"

Hmm?

A light flashed in Wen Liang's mind, and his eyes narrowed. He grabbed Liu Zhihe's hand, "Are you sure you can catch them in the act?"

Liu Zhihe understood his meaning, which was also why he came to find Wen Liang. He whispered, "Do you forget how we won that basketball game?"

Wen Liang was speechless for a moment before extending his thumb, "You're really awesome, you're really awesome!"
