Chapter 30 - Deducting Marks
The imposing air belonging to a monarch hit him facefirst, and Song Xiao subconsciously shrunk backwards, but the dorm’s bed was too narrow, moving just a little made him plastered to the wall.
Song Xiao swallowed, “I…”
Right at this time, ‘The river flows eastwards ah, the stars in the sky join the Big Dipper ah—” Song Xiao’s phone’s magnificent ringtone resounded.
Song Xiao hurriedly grabbed his handphone, not daring to see the emperor’s expression and picked up without even seeing who it was.
“Xiaoxiao ah, it’s grandpa!” A voice full of gusto emerged from the other end, thundering to the point that Song Xiao shook for a moment.
Yu Tang straightened his body with a black face. Soon, he’ll change Song Xiao’s ringtone, the one arranged by Si Dashu destroyed the mood too much.
Song Xiao’s grandpa was old mates with his maternal grandfather for many decades. On the year when the matter of Qiu Mingyan emerged, his grandpa was furious, almost breaking Song Zicheng’s leg. Later, Song Xiao’s mother had died, so grandpa didn’t care anymore, but he always saw his son as something unpleasant to the eyes, so they rarely called each other in a year.
When Song Xiao phoned his grandpa during the weekend and he learnt that his eldest grandson’s hand was scalded by an illegitimate daughter, grandpa had immediately blown his top.
“This b.a.s.t.a.r.d… Xiaoxiao, just wait, grandpa will go vent some anger for you.” At that time, he had thrown down this sentence and hung up, while Song Xiao also couldn’t grasp what his grandpa wanted to do. He had only hoped that his family’s elder generation could manage his father a bit, and wouldn’t let him marry those messy mistresses.
Song Xiao looked at the number displayed on his phone, it was undoubtedly his house’s number. “Grandpa, you’re in A city?”
“Ah, when you come back during the weekend you’ll be able to see grandpa.” The old man glared at Song Zicheng by his side. “Grandpa brought some scald ointment from hometown, there won’t be any scars left after it’s applied.”
After hanging up, Song grandpa looked at Song Zicheng. “Tomorrow, send that scald ointment to Xiaoxiao.”
“I’ll have Xiao Si go.” Song Zicheng sat at a corner of the sofa, well-behaved, like a middle-schooler who had made a mistake and was awaiting his father’s criticism.
The old man saw the terrified appearance of his son and got angry, raising his cane with the intention of beating him up. “If the child didn’t feel extremely wronged, would he call me, this old man who hadn’t seen him for this whole year? How are you a father ah?”
Song Zicheng leapt up like a spring, narrowly avoiding his father’s cane. “Dad, don’t be angry!”
Song Xiao currently didn’t know that his father was in the abyss of suffering, he was worrying about how to shower. Washing up with one hand was very strenuous, and he couldn’t even properly wash his hair yesterday.
The plastic glove provided by the doctor wrapped around his hand, turning on the shower, Song Xiao wiped his face. When he reached out to take the shampoo, he had touched a sheet of soft clothing.
“Huh?” Song Xiao was being rinsed with water and couldn’t open his eyes. Shaking his head, he saw the emperor who was still wearing his shirt, who knew when he had barged into the bathroom.
“Don’t move, raise your hand high.” Yu Tang captured the slick empress and applied shampoo on his head.
Song Xiao obediently raised his injured hand. “I can wash myself…”
The slender and fair body of a youth, was unfolded because of the motions of raising his hand. In the rising steam, it was suffused with a faint layer of pink, and looked particularly… delicious. Yu Tang couldn’t resist getting closer. “Lower your head.”
Song Xiao docilely lowered his head, and sensed the person by his side taking down the shower head, turning it towards his head. “Wu…”
His Majesty the Emperor, who had never given someone a bath, instantly had the water flushing into Song Xiao’s ear. His original intention to seize an opportunity, immediately became like the bubbles on Song Xiao’s head, rinsed clean by Yu Tang’s fl.u.s.tered actions.
After finishing the shower that was like a battle, Song Xiao sat on his bed, bundled up by a big towel, tilting to one side to move the water in his ear. Yu Tang finished his own shower and came out while rubbing his hair, and saw him clutching his ear like a little rabbit. He couldn’t help pursing his lips into a faint smile, walked over with big strides, and hugged the person, towel and all.
Song Xiao was frightened for a moment, and before he could react, he was thrown over the emperor’s shoulder, and was hefted up and down.
“…” The water in his ear immediately dispersed and slowly flowed out. Then there was another spinning motion, Song Xiao struggled to crawl out from within the towel and discovered that he had shifted to Yu Tang’s bed.
“Your Majesty?” Song Xiao lifted his head to look at him, puzzled.
“Today is the fifteenth.” Yu Tang pulled the screening curtains in a deadly earnest manner, crowding Song Xiao towards the inner part of the bed, then grabbed his injured hand to change ointment.
“Oh,” Song Xiao replied dumbly, watching Yu Tang proficiently applying ointment for him.
Yu Tang’s hands were very good-looking, his fingers slender and knuckles prominent. This pair of hands could grasp a pen and also a sword, grasping a sword to battle and enlarge territory and grasping a pen so that the country prospers and the people are at peace. Right now, they were grasping his hand, smearing a weird smelling scald ointment.
In his heart, there was some subtle bitterness, and yet there was also bizarre contentment. Song Xiao looked at him with curved eyes. This person, no matter when, would exhaust his capabilities to treat him well, even though he would never express it.
Because of the injury on his hand, there were many matters Yu Tang forbid him to do, such as doing homework. Before, he did two sets, now he only did one. In addition, the subjects with a lot of words, such as politics and history, were all thrown to Dugu An by Yu Tang.
Dugu An silently did two sets of homework, his own homework was completely blank.
“Dugu An, how come you hadn’t done your work again?” The form teacher was very angry, and had called Dugu An to the office to question.
Song Xiao had already finished learning middle school’s biochemistry, while there was still some things in physics that he didn’t quite understand, after all, this subject couldn’t be learnt by only relying on exceedingly good memory. Usually, when physics cla.s.s ended, Song Xiao would hold a book and go question the teacher, and if he couldn’t finish asking during the cla.s.s intervals, he would even seek him out in the teachers’ office.
The physics teacher had a very deep impression towards this student who was earnest in his studies. When he was taking roll call, he had Song Xiao act as the subject representative, responsible for collecting homework everyday.
Dugu An was called away, and Song Xiao with only had one hand available, was incapable of carrying the homework to the office, and could only anxiously look at his deskmate, the emperor.
Yu Tang shot him a glance, and hadn’t even opened his mouth when Liu Lu seated in front of them had already leapt over.
“Song Xiao, your hand is injured, I’ll help you carry it ba.” While speaking, Liu Lu had picked up a stack of homework.
Because she had received David’s signature from Song Xiao, Liu Lu was particularly enthusiastic towards Song Xiao for this whole week. Song Xiao was somewhat embarra.s.sed. “No need, I can do it myself.”
Before he had even finished speaking, Liu Lu had already carried the homework and walked out, while Song Xiao hurried after her.
The emperor who was ignored immediately had a dark expression.
“4G’s coming! 4G’s coming!” Just after walking out, a wave of shrieks penetrated the entire school building. The following noise was increasingly louder as four boys wearing black windbreakers walked over leisurely from one end of the corridor.
Song Xiao turned around, about to go through another corridor, when a few boys from other cla.s.ses suddenly formed a wall and sealed off his escape route.
“Oho, to pa.s.s in homework, you still need a girl to help?” Shen shaoye sneered, slowly walking to the front of Liu Lu.
To be honest, Jiang, Shen, Han, and Yang, these four shaoyes, were very handsome. With the shortening distance, Liu Lu’s heartbeat increased a little. Then she saw Shen shaoye extend a long arm, and with a light toss, the homework she was carrying then flew out with a flutter, falling all over the floor.
“Ah—” Liu Lu was startled, and couldn’t help letting out a scream.
The situation where the homework flew all over was a magnificent sight, so much that it fell downstairs. The gathering students in the corridor was increasing, all of them coming over to see the excitement.
“Little s.h.i.t, last time you stood us up and caused us to be given a demerit, so now it’s time to pay back the debt.” Jiang shaoye raised his leg and stepped on a workbook.
Sheng Meng High School’s credit was quite important for students who wish to go overseas, so the school would give a chance before deducting marks here. The school would give a disciplinary action, and there was a period of observation. If there weren’t any offenses during the observation period, the school would revoke the disciplinary action.
Previously, because 4G had attempted a sneak attack towards the dorm supervisor, and had been subdued by the dorm supervisor daye as a result, the school had given twenty days for the observation period. Therefore, the past period of time, these four were as quiet as a chicken, and hadn’t gone to trouble Song Xiao.
“Go on, let’s have a chat in the toilets.” Han shaoye was slightly larger in frame, he went over with a beaming smile, attempting to seize Song Xiao’s shoulder and tow him towards the toilet while acting all brotherly.
“Littering trash everywhere, deduct three points, throwing things up and about, deduct ten points.” The president’s voice suddenly came from behind. Song Xiao turned his head back and saw Yu Tang holding a black cover notebook while walking over, handing it over to him.
“What did you say?” Han shaoye’s outstretched hand froze in midair, was this person trying to joke? Couldn’t he see that they were conducting some ‘road activities’? What was this about points deduction?
Song Xiao flipped open the notebook, inside it was a table for deducting marks. Very quickly, he found ‘Special Cla.s.s Three’, on it there was a note with ‘-13’.
“What cla.s.s are you from?” Yu Tang looked at the group of boys blocking the way.
“What does it matter to you?” That group of boys burst into loud laughter.
Yu Tang glanced at their nametags and spoke with a tranquil tone, “First year Cla.s.s Four, Cla.s.s Five, in total twelve boys, making a racket, running and playing, deduct 5 marks from each cla.s.s.”
Song Xiao seriously recorded it.
These boys immediately couldn’t laugh anymore. Only now did they notice that under the nametags of these two students were the red engraved tags of the student union, and one of them even had the word ‘president’!
“Who threw the workbooks?” The head teacher’s resonant and loud voice echoed from downstairs, the students who came to watch immediately dispersed.
Song Xiao wanted to go downstairs to pick up the workbooks, but was stopped by Yu Tang. Pa.s.sing the black notebook over to Dugu An, who had just returned from being criticized, Yu Tang had him run over to the second years to hand over to the Minister of Justice.
The second period was self study, and the speakers inside the cla.s.srooms rang out with the icy voice of the Minister of Justice.
“Reporting criticism, First Year Special Cla.s.s Three, four students littered, threw things around, deduct thirteen points. First Year Cla.s.s Four, Cla.s.s Five, twelve students made a racket during cla.s.s interval, five marks deducted each.”
The form teachers who were cracking melon seeds in the office also heard this announcement, and immediately were startled to the point that their melon seeds fell to the ground.
