"Hurry up and speak, I’m not joking with you right now."
"I prepared it during lunch, because this morning..."
Lin Li didn’t hide anything. He repeated what he had previously told Bai Bufan. After finishing the explanation, without waiting for Xue Jian to ask, he imdiately started recounting what the two of them did next:
"After we changed our clothes, we started looking for those..."
"..."
"...and then we got caught by you, sir. Not counting you, we encountered a total of 18 students and one teacher. We only scared the 12 students who were violating the rules by playing on their phones in the classroom, and we made them do frog jumps on the steps, just like earlier. After the jumps, we let them head back to the playground."
"This is the truth. If I’m lying to you, teacher, I’ll imdiately be reborn as Bao Wei’s shoe insole."
Lin Li winked playfully at Xue Jian.
Xue Jian felt a bit relieved after listening.
After all, if Lin Li and Bai Bufan were just doing this while wearing those outfits, it’s not too bad.
From a very, very extre angle, they aren’t even doing anything wrong; they’re assisting the school in managing the students—emphasizing again, a very, very extre angle that Xue Jian would never admit exists.
Xue Jian didn’t think Lin Li was lying.
After all, he understood his students. While the boys in the back rows liked causing trouble, they genuinely wouldn’t harm anyone.
It’s absurd to label them as bad people just because they’re mischievous and hard to manage. If an outsider made such accusations, Xue Jian would be the first to defend the students of Class 4.
Because they’re not bad, nor are they non-human; the word ’bad’ doesn’t fit them at all. How ridiculous is that?
"Certain no one saw you?" Xue Jian asked, still a bit disgruntled after pondering.
"Absolutely sure!"
This statent was a signal; Lin Li and Bai Bufan’s eyes lit up instantly, nodding vigorously.
"We got it covered, sir, rest assured!"
"It’s because you guys ’get it covered’ that I’m worried!"
"Phew—"
"By this Friday before school ends for the second ti, each of you must submit a 1000-word or more handwritten reflection,"
Xue Jian sternly announced their punishnt, then shooed them away with a wave of his hand like swatting flies, not waiting for them to accept or negotiate:
"Now hurry back to change into your uniforms and then head back to the playground."
Lin Li and Bai Bufan OvO: Heehee, crisis averted!
"Okay!!"
"Go on, make it quick." Xue Jian said, shaking his head at the pair.
...
Restroom.
Lin Li and Bai Bufan went into separate stalls holding their bags with their uniforms and started changing.
"Old Jian is actually pretty nice to us, isn’t he?"
Among the rustling of fabric, Bai Bufan expressed his sentint.
Considering their actions could technically warrant a report and consequences, yet it only resulted in a minor reflection, it showed their horoom teacher still cared about his students.
"Well, he is just Jian Jian, the big dummy after all."
Lin Li agreed with a soft chuckle.
Xue Jian really was a good teacher. Lin Li secretly tried to channel his "Duck Blood Bottle," but couldn’t draw any anger or similar emotions from Xue Jian.
Indeed, so n might have cold words and actions, but have warm hearts and guts.
Lin Li finished changing quicker than Bai Bufan. After changing back into his school uniform, Lin Li stepped out first, deciding to adjust his styled hair back to a natural look.
He couldn’t possibly go back to the playground with that hairstyle.
"By the way, Bufan, are you going to copy a reflection off the internet?" With water running, Lin Li initiated the conversation.
"New Year’s Day’s just around the corner, so yeah, might as well copy one online. Are you actually planning on writing it yourself?" Bai Bufan nodded.
"I’m actually planning to write it myself. There’s nothing to copy, really; a thousand words is quick to write on your own," Lin Li smiled, quickly adding: "Bufan, are you still daring to do such things again next ti?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Bufan laughed heartily: "Do I even need to think? I’d risk death a hundred tis over, tonight I feel only exhilarated!"
Lin Li’s smile grew brighter: "Well, I wouldn’t dare anymore. I won’t do this kind of thing again; I truly know I was wrong."
Bai Bufan couldn’t help but laugh and curse: "You ass—uhm."
After just two words, Bai Bufan’s expression suddenly froze ☉_☉.
His heart skipped a beat; he couldn’t laugh, nor could he curse anymore.
"..."
No way.
No way, no way, no way, no way.
This isn’t Lin Li, or at least it’s not sothing Lin Li would say!!
That could only an one thing—
Bai Bufan swallowed hard, taking a deep breath: "Lin Li, tell honestly, how many people are in this bathroom right now."
Lin Li: "Just the two of us."
Bai Bufan, though shocked, felt relieved as the stone in his heart fell: "Really?"
Xue Jian: "Really, I’m at the door, not inside."
Bai Bufan: "..."
The stone in his heart turned to a block of cold dread.
He awkwardly pushed open the stall door after finishing dressing, took two steps toward the sink outside, seeing Xue Jian standing there with crossed arms and a cold gaze, and Lin Li at the sink, smiling disturbingly into the mirror.
Crap, Lin Li!!!!
Xue Jian: "Bufan, your reflection must be at least 2000 words, and I’ll check for plagiarism. If I find it’s copied, next ti will require 5000 words; think it over."
Bai Bufan: "Understood, teacher TAT."
