When Sheng Cen walked into the classroom, he saw that there was no one sitting at the inner seat of the desk, and subconsciously swept around the classroom, looking for the figure of his table mate.
Tang Qi Yuan was collecting homework, and he walked down the aisle between the desks and chairs one by one. Some of his classmates did not say much and handed him their homework directly, while others had not finished copying their homework and begged him to let them go for now and come back to collect it later, Tang Qi Yuan readily agreed to all of them, and some were unusually uncooperative, like Chen Zi Zhan.
Chen Zi Zhan sat in his seat with his legs crossed, playing with his mobile phone, not even looking at Tang Qi Yuan.
Tang Qi Yuan stood beside him and repeated patiently, “Classmate Chen, please hand in your homework.”
Chen Zi Zhan reached out and dug his ears, raised his head and raised his eyebrows, pretending not to hear him: “What did you say?”
“I said, Classmate Chen, please hand in your homework.” Tang Qi Yuan’s face remained unchanged, and he repeated it again in a good-natured manner.
“Heh……” Chen Zi Zhan snorted in a low voice and pretended to search the table a few times, “What should I do? I don’t know where the homework book has gone, why don’t you help me look for it, good class president who is serious and responsible!”
Tang Qi Yuan looked at Chen Zi Zhan’s desk in embarrassment. Chen Zi Zhan’s desk was in a mess, with books, water bottles, eraser dust…… there was everything, he didn’t see the homework book at a glance, and he couldn’t rummage through Chen Zi Zhan’s seat.
Chen Zi Zhan coldly watched him with an embarrassed look. He picked up the water bottle and drank a mouthful of water in a cheerful mood, looking leisurely, as if he didn’t see him standing beside him.
Some of the surrounding students were not used to seeing Chen Zi Zhan being so arrogant, but they didn’t dare to provoke him easily, so they could only look at Tang Qi Yuan helplessly.
From Sheng Cen’s perspective, Tang Qi Yuan stood next to Chen Zi Zhan at a loss, his skin as white as snow, his eyebrows lowered, not much emotion could be seen, only two eyebrows were tightly knitted, revealing his current emotions.
Sheng Cen saw Tang Qi Yuan open his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something. Sheng Cen didn’t need to think about it, he knew that he would definitely say a large paragraph of reasoning to persuade Chen Zi Zhan, but Sheng Cen suddenly didn’t want him to preach to Chen Zi Zhan, someone like Chen Zi Zhan wasn’t worth wasting his words on.
Sheng Cen took out his homework book from his backpack and threw it onto Chen Zi Zhan’s desk, his eyes coldly skimming over Chen Zi Zhan as he said to Tang Qi Yuan: “My homework.”
“Ah…… ok.” Tang Qi Yuan froze for a moment and reached out to pick up Sheng Cen’s homework book and neatly placed it on the pile of homework books he was holding.
Chen Zi Zhan saw the homework book that suddenly appeared on the table originally and wanted to get angry, but when he saw the ‘dragon flying phoenix dancing’ name on the homework book, he froze for a moment, he looked up to meet Sheng Cen’s cold gaze and couldn’t help his heart trembling.
He saw that Sheng Cen’s face was not good, his complexion darkened, he looked up at Tang Qi Yuan and tightened his eyebrows, after a while, he reluctantly took out the homework book from the table and threw it into Tang Qi Yuan’s arms, “Take it, hurry up and leave.”
Tang Qi Yuan put his homework book away, smiled gently and said, “Classmate Chen, it’s great that you were able to find your homework in time.”
Chen Zi Zhan had a fire in his heart that he had nowhere to vent, and when he saw the smile on his face, he felt even more stifled. He couldn’t help but stand up and kick the legs of his table before striding out of the classroom, even when the bell rang, he did not care and didn’t even turn back.
When Tang Qi Yuan returned to his seat after collecting the homework, Sheng Cen gave him a lazy look and said carelessly, “Can’t you see he’s bullying you?”
Tang Qi Yuan was unconcerned, his face not showing any anger, “Classmate Chen is still young, so it’s excusable.”
Sheng Cen snorted: “He was demoted a year last year, he’s even a year older than you.”
Tang Qi Yuan let out an ‘oh’: “Then all the more reason for me to respect the old and love the young, and give him a little more deference.”
Sheng Cen couldn’t help but snort out a laugh when he heard his words.
If Chen Zi Zhan heard Tang Qi Yuan’s words, he would probably be outright angry and vomit blood, he thought he was arrogant and domineering, but in Tang Qi Yuan’s eyes, he used to be ‘young and ignorant’, and now he is an existence being ‘respected as an old man’.
After two classes, Tang Qi Yuan gave the homework books to the teacher and then went straight to the swimming pool. This class was a swimming class and he stood at the entrance of the pool and took a deep breath before walking in.
He was a little late because he had just stayed in the office for a while just now, so his classmates were already standing in order.
He walked in to the swimming pool and first said sorry to the PE teacher, who did not criticise him, but hastily patted him on the shoulder and said in an urgent voice: “Teacher has to go back to the office for an urgent matter, so as class president, you should help me lead everyone first.”
Before Tang Qi Yuan could say anything, the PE teacher had already left in a hurry . He turned his head to look at the students standing sparsely in the gymnasium. Because there were Alphas, Betas and Omegas among the students, so everyone wears stinger suits with barrier patches on the back of their necks when they had swimming lessons.
Tang Qi Yuan hadn’t had time to change his clothes because he was late, he felt that he was only wearing a short-sleeved white t-shirt and sweatpants, he walked over and clapped his hands and spoke: “That……teacher has to leave for a while, let me tell you the principles of swimming. ”
No one objected, the teacher is not here, naturally listen to the class president, not to mention that Sheng Cen standing at the side had no comments, they naturally do not dare to say more.
Only Chen Zi Zhan stood in the crowd, looking at Tang Qi Yuan with an extremely unkind gaze because the morning’s anger had not yet passed.
Tang Qi Yuan thought about the books he had read before and slowly spoke: “Swimming is a sport in which a person moves his body freely in the water by virtue of buoyancy and regular movements of the limbs, including breaststroke, butterfly and backstroke respectively…… ”
Chen Zi Zhan listened for a while, impatiently ruffled his hair, stepped forward and said: “I’ll say, Lord Class President, what’s the use of talking so much? It’s not like people don’t know how to swim, instead of explaining all this, you might as well let us get into the water and swim ourselves.”
Tang Qi Yuan did not agree and explained: “Now that the teacher is not here, it is very unsafe to let you all go into the water, and if anything dangerous happens, no one can guarantee to save anyone.”
Chen Zi Zhan snorted coldly, “Then you go into the water first, Lord Class President, and wait inside the water to save us.”
After he finished speaking, he kicked Tang Qi Yuan down into the pool, and there was a splash in the pool. Chen Zi Zhan immediately burst out laughing happily, ready to admire Tang Qi Yuan’s wretched appearance.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have time to laugh for long before he was kicked from behind and dropped to his knees. The floor of the swimming pool was covered with tiles and kneeling on it was particularly painful, and he was suddenly pale and sweating coldly, his features wrinkled together in pain.
He looked up and saw Sheng Cen staring at him with a cold, sullen look on his face, a raging anger in his eyes that he had never seen before.
Just as he thought Sheng Cen would kick him again, someone suddenly pointed at the pool and screamed, “Class President! Quickly look at the class President!”
Sheng Cen’s attention was instantly drawn to the pool, and when he saw clearly that Tang Qi Yuan was struggling in the water and sinking further and further, his face suddenly changed drastically and he immediately jumped into the pool. The other students in the class who could swim also jumped in, this is a deep pool that can drown people.
Chen Zi Zhan followed suit and panicked, looking terrified as he asked: “He, he, he can’t swim?”
He was just in a moment of anger and wanted to make a joke to embarrass Tang Qi Yuan, he didn’t really want to kill Tang Qi Yuan, in the end he was just a high school student, usually he was just bluffing, at this time he couldn’t help but panic, his hands were shaking.
After Sheng Cen jumped into the water, he swam to Tang Qi Yuan’s side with unprecedented speed, first pulled him out of the water, tilted his head up and then swam towards the shore with him in his arms, while the others came over to join him and together, they saved Tang Qi Yuan.
Sheng Cen knelt next to Tang Qi Yuan and pressed his stomach once at a time according to his knowledge of first aid, Tang Qi Yuan spat out a few mouthfuls of water and slowly opened his eyes.
Sheng Cen patted his face and asked in a panicked voice: “How do you feel?”
“It’s fine.” Tang Qi Yuan shook his head slightly, still looking a little confused because he had just drowned.
Sheng Cen helped him up and said angrily: “You can’t swim?”
The schools in the empire taught students to swim from a very young age, so when they reach their age, there is basically no one who can’t swim. Tang Qi Yuan had just talked about his swimming knowledge so well that no one expected him to not know how to swim.
“Ah……I can’t……” Tang Qi Yuan wiped the water from his face and responded nervously.
He was not well as a child and the doctor did not allow him to do more strenuous sports, including swimming, so whenever he had swimming lessons in the past, he could only watch from the side. He had heard a lot about swimming, but he had no practical experience, not even once.
“……Idiot!” Sheng Cen was at the end of his patience and cursed, looking down at his wet eyelashes and reaching out to roughly wipe away the water droplets that were about to drip off them.
The clothes on Tang Qi Yuan’s body were already soaked through, the white short sleeves clinging to his body, outlining his figure and faintly revealing the white and tender skin inside.
Sheng Cen glanced at the classmates around him and his face darkened. He stood up, took off the school uniform he was wearing outside, put it on Tang Qi Yuan’s body, and then hugged Tang Qi Yuan horizontally.
Tang Qi Yuan’s body was still a bit off right now, so although he was a bit embarrassed, he still let his table mate hug him without resisting, but he looked at his wet school uniform and couldn’t help but frown: “Sheng Cen, this school uniform of yours is also wet, I’m just as cold whether I wear it or not.”
“Shut up.” Sheng Cen finished with a black face and kicked Chen Zi Zhan into the water, looking at Chen Zi Zhan with a cold gaze and saying: “No getting out of the water until it gets dark.”
Chen Zi Zhan’s knees hurt badly, and he also choked on the water a few times. At this time, he stood in the water in an embarrassing predicament, not daring to retort, not to mention disobeying Sheng Cen’s order. Now, he is deeply aware that he had angered Sheng Cen, and did not even dare to breathe.
Sheng Cen, with a sullen face, held Tang Qi Yuan and left, leaving a room of whispering students, all of whom could not help but look at Chen Zi Zhan with pity and disgust.
