Although everyone knew that there were two people from Class 1 that had been punished, no one took it seriously because they all knew Director Xu’s strange temperament.

If you suddenly ran into him when he was in a bad mood, then no matter what you did, he would be upset and will then do his best to find a reason to criticize you.

The students all called this menopause.

Although Director Xu’s menopause punishments of students were a common occurrence, this time the target turned out to be Xie Xinglin from Class 1 of the second year, which was a bit of a novelty.

After all, as a top student that dominated various lists and won many awards all year round, Director Xu has revealed his appreciation of him more than once.

The next day, Zhao Minghua also wasn’t very angry after learning about the matter, she merely spoke a few perfunctory words of criticism.

After the criticism, she looked at them with some sympathy in her eyes and then slowly said, “Don’t be too burdened by this in your heart, just follow the teacher’s instructions and it’ll be fine.”

There was fine weather on Monday.

During the flag raising ceremony of the No. 2 Experimental School, Director Xu spoke into the microphone on the platform, “Previously, our school did not require everyone to attend evening self study every day, typically it’s only a few days prior to an exam that we ask you to study at school. I know a lot of students are not used to this....”

Director Xu had a rich vocabulary. Although he improvised every time, what he wanted to say was all said, as if the speech was pre-installed into this brain. He spoke non-stop, full of modulation.

There were many people on the playground that were so bored that they became absent-minded. There were even some that were so courageous and couldn’t handle the solitude that they looked all over for people to chat with.

Gao Jing raised his head and yawned. Then he said to Su Yuanzhou, who was beside him, “Hey Brother Yuan, did you know a few days ago Baldy Xu got angry and caught two students from Class 1 who were late to evening self study. He punished them to stand, but they actually made jokes, and so he demanded that they read their self-review on the flag-raising podium today.”

Last night, Su Yuanzhou had virtually played games with Gao Jing throughout the night, so he was also drowsy-eyed. He said, with his eyes half closed and carrying dark circles, “Isn’t that a common thing?”

He lifted his eyelids and glanced at the talking Director Xu, his tone a bit disdainful, “Just this flag raising podium, hasn’t this grandpa already been on it quite a few times? Which time didn’t my impromptu speech win everyone’s cheers and applause?”

Previously, Su Yuanzhou’s “I was wrong, I won’t dare next time” type of self-review has already become popular all over China a long time ago.

**t/n: not literal, the author is indicating that SY has given the same type of speech many time and was well-received (by the students)historical

Afterward, even Director Xu was reluctant to let Su Yuanzhou go up to read his self-review.

Because he could turn this into a freestyle.

**t/n: ‘freestyle’ was originally in English in the raws

Gao Jing leaned over and said, “This time is different, this time’s speech will definitely be especially wonderful. I bet you are the only one left in our entire school that still doesn’t know what’s going on.”

Su Yuanzhou became impatient. He reached out his hand and fished up the cold mineral water bottle by his foot, then twisted open the cap as he said, “Don’t dawdle like a girl. If you have a fart, just let it out, stop trying to whet my appetite.”

Gao Jing leaned over to his ear and lengthened his tones as he said, “Between the two students, one of them is Xie Xinglin!”

Su Yuanzhou originally wasn’t feeling very spirited and raised his head to drink the iced mineral water, but when he heard what was said, he sprayed out a mouthful of water.

He laughed out loud and hiccuped, “F*ck hahahah, even he has today hahahahahageh.

Immediately afterward, Su Yuanzhou wiped his face and was full of schadenfreude as he said, “Did he finally reveal his true nature?”

But he wasn’t happy for long before he was named by Director Xu, who was still speaking on the platform.

“The two boys from Class 12 in the back row, are you boneless? You are so crooked and clumped together, almost like a young couple whispering sweet nothings to each other. Do you still want a face? Do you want to come up and talk about it?”

When they heard this, many people on the field simultaneously turned their head and looked over at them. When they saw Gao Jing and Su Yuanzhou with their arms around each other and whispering, there were some girls who’s gaze became particularly strange.

Su Yuanzhou didn’t think there was anything up and simply uttered a “Baldy Xu” in a scolding tone before he continued to drink his water as if nothing happened. However, it was unknown what Gao Jing, who was to the side of him, thought. His whole body quivered before he shot a glance at Su Yuanzhou. His face became unsightly and he immediately moved farther away from him.

Eventually, the dawdling Director Xu finally got to the issue that the students were looking forward to the most, “It’s fine if some students are late to the evening self-study, but when they were punished by the teacher to stand in the hallways, they unexpectedly didn’t even properly reflect on themselves and actually chatted. It’s fine even if they chatted, but they actually laughed so happily——”

The sentence pattern often used by Director Xu was exactly this: “It’s fine if they xxx, but they unexpectedly/actually xxx.” This sentence pattern can be used by him in a constant chain.
