Chapter 39 – Demons of Sixth High (1)
On Sat.u.r.day, at seven in the morning, Chen Yu was awakened by the ringing of his phone’s alarm.
“Ugh…”
After waking up, Chen Yu wearily reached out and grabbed his phone from under his pillow, then turned off the alarm. His eyes remained squinted as he waited for his consciousness to come online.
The Quantum Reading Gla.s.ses placed a truly huge burden on its user’s mental faculties. As a result, Chen Yu was always short of sleep.
However, after studying arduously for five days straight, he had managed to learn over half of the knowledge in his high school textbooks. Although he would still be considered an academically failing student in any other high school, in the mysterious Sixth High, he should have no problem ranking above average among the entire student body.
After lying in bed half-asleep for several minutes, Chen Yu got up and changed out of his pajamas. He then walked out of his room to wash up in the bathroom. When he exited his room, he immediately came across Chen Yike packing her backpack in the living room.
“Huh? Eldest, you’re up already?”
“Mhm!” Chen Yike nodded while tucking a sun hat into her backpack. “My cla.s.s is heading to Erlong Mountain for a tour today. We’re setting off at eight, so I’m preparing in advance.”
“Oh.” Chen Yu nodded in understanding. After washing up in the bathroom, he walked up to Chen Yike and evaluated her attire. Frowning, he said, “That skirt’s so short you might as well be wearing nothing.”
Lowering her head to look at her light-blue skirt, Chen Yike said, “It’s not short! It covers up to my knees!”
“It doesn’t matter what you wear at home. It doesn’t even matter if your dress only covers up to your thighs. However, you cannot go out like this! Change to a longer skirt!” Chen Yu said sternly.
His little sister was so beautiful. How could he possibly let outsiders look at her?!
“A long skirt is inconvenient for activities! We’re going to climb Erlong Mountain today!”
“Wear pants, then.”
“Brother!”
“No means no. You’re just a little teenage girl. What’s the point of wearing such a short skirt? Wear pants,” Chen Yu said, fully demonstrating his authority as an elder brother.
“Brother!” Chen Yike stomped in frustration.
“Look! Your skirt lifted as soon as you stomped! There are strong winds outside! Don’t tell me you have some special hobbies?! Change!”
Chen Yike: “…”
“You’re not leaving without changing,” Chen Yu said as he crossed his arms, his firm expression showing that he wouldn’t give in to Chen Yike’s anger. “I’m telling Mom if you don’t change.”
Helpless, Chen Yike had no choice but to return to her room and changed into track pants.
“Not bad,” Chen Yu commented when he saw Chen Yike walk out of her room wearing a long pair of pants. “It’s much more convenient to move in a pair of pants. The only problem is that the pant legs are too short. Your ankles are exposed. Make sure to wear longer socks afterward.”
“Are you trying to wrap me into a mummy?!”
Paying no heed to Chen Yike’s dissatisfaction, Chen Yu walked forward to inspect her face. Immediately, he frowned once more as he exclaimed, “You’re actually wearing makeup?!”
“E-Even makeup is no good?!”
Three minutes later, Chen Yu walked out of the bathroom with Chen Yike, who had regained her natural appearance.
Thud!
Turning around, Chen Yike suddenly kicked Chen Yu’s left foot.
“Ouch!” Chen Yu cried out in pain as he crouched on the floor.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Ignoring Chen Yu’s pain, Chen Yike stomped her way to the living room and resumed packing her backpack with an ugly expression on her face.
“Can’t you switch to another leg when you kick me next time?”
“Don’t talk to me!”
“Really?” Chen Yu asked.
“Really!”
“You’re going to ignore me?”
“I’m ignoring you!”
Nodding, Chen Yu took out a 100-yuan note from his pocket and walked up to Chen Yike. He then waved the bill before her eyes as he asked, “Do you have enough money for the trip?”
After a brief moment of silence, Chen Yike bent her waist and hugged Chen Yu’s left leg as she said, “Big Brother is the best!”
“Kekekeke…” Chen Yu laughed evilly at this scene. “Take it. Make sure to buy something good to eat.”
“Big Brother is the best!” Chen Yike repeated.
At this time, Chen Yu also felt someone hugging his right leg. Turning his head, he noticed that the culprit was Chen Erke.
“Big Brother is the best!” Chen Erke said as she tightly hugged Chen Yu’s right leg, looking at the 100-yuan note in his hand longingly.
“Second Eldest, you’re still too young.”
“No! Brother! I want one too!”
“You’re too young.”
“I’m not too young!”
“I’ll be doing you harm if I give it to you.”
“I’m willing to get harmed by Big Brother.”
“…” Holding his forehead, Chen Yu hurriedly took out a five-yuan note and squeezed it into Chen Erke’s hand. “I’ll give this to you. Don’t simply spend it.”
Hesitantly, Chen Erke said, “It’s not as big as Big Sister’s.”
Chen Yu: “…”
Chen Yike: “…”
Ten minutes later, Mother Chen woke up and walked out of her room while yawning. Seeing the three Chen siblings in the living room, she asked in surprise, “Why are you all up so early?”
“My cla.s.s has activities today,” Chen Yike said.
“It’s my school’s monthly test today,” Chen Yu answered.
“Oh, the monthly test.” Nodding, Mother Chen said, “Once the monthly test is over, start focusing on sports.”
“Can’t you believe that your son can score within the cla.s.s’s top 25?”
“Do the students placed 25th and below have diarrhea?” Mother Chen wondered.
“…Fine. Mom, you’re really wonderful.”
…
Seven forty-five in the morning.
After finishing breakfast, Chen Yu accompanied Chen Yike to her school.
“Make sure to be careful when hiking. Don’t go crazy together with your cla.s.smates.”
“I know.”
“Listen to your teachers. Make sure to follow your teachers wherever they go. Don’t get lost.”
“I know!”
“Have you brought anything to eat?”
“I brought some bread and potato chips. They’ll distribute food boxes on the bus.”
“Mhm.” Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction upon hearing his sister’s reply. Before parting, he said, “No dating. I’ll break your leg otherwise.”
Chen Yike: “…”
After speaking his mind, Chen Yu parted ways with Chen Yike in front of the latter’s school. He then made his way toward his school.
Five minutes later, Chen Yu arrived at Sixth High and climbed to the fourth floor in accordance with the test admission card he received previously.
It’s just a monthly test. Do they have to make such a huge fuss?
When Chen Yu entered the exam venue, however, he was stunned. Hurriedly, he exited the cla.s.sroom and took a look at the cla.s.s sign at the entrance.
“Year 3, Cla.s.s 1… It’s correct.” Confused, Chen Yu double-checked his admission card. “Year 3, Cla.s.s 1… It’s this place.
“B-But…why is there only one table and one chair inside?!”
Inside the large cla.s.sroom that was over 100 square meters, there was only a single table and chair! No matter how he looked at it, this was definitely a strange scene!
“Student Chen Yu, why are you standing at the door?”
Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from behind him.
Hastily turning around, Chen Yu saw that it was his cla.s.s’s English teacher calling him.
“Teacher! This… Isn’t this exam venue a little strange?”
“What’s strange about it?” the English teacher asked quizzically as she looked into the cla.s.sroom.
“Why is there only one table in there? Is everyone going to be taking their tests on the floor?”
“It’s because this cla.s.sroom was prepared solely for you!” the English teacher replied, smiling happily.
“…”
“Since this exam venue is all yours, there’s no need for additional tables.”
“…”
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu took in a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, “Demon…”
