Chapter 72: Sincerity is the ultimate skill
He Ying was so into the role of the mother she got for free, but if she hadn't worked in the system for two and a half years, she wouldn't be able to lie so calmly.
She liked Yu Yu too much. When she heard Xu Cheng say that the teacher was going to beat and scold her, she rushed to the office without saying a word. Even though she was in her thirties and was already a full-time department director, she impulsively said that she was Yu Yu's mother.
But this girl didn't deny it...
At that time, Director He's mind inexplicably recalled the scene when Xu Cheng was babbling and learning to speak, and called her "Mom" for the first time. She almost burst into tears with excitement.
Because the next formal class was about to start, only the parents and the teacher were left in the office for a detailed discussion. Yu Yu walked out of the office with a frown.
"What are you thinking about?"
Xu Cheng, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly spoke.
Everyone else had gone back to class, but he was the only one who stayed at the office door and eavesdropped, using the excuse that the class monitor was in a meeting.
Then I heard He Ying using the Girl Experience Card in the office...
Too raw!
Yu Yu didn't see him at first, so the strands of hair on her forehead trembled slightly, as if she had been tricked by a game of shock.
Hearing Xu Cheng's question, he lowered his head out of habit and spoke in a low voice.
"It feels like things are getting more and more chaotic..."
Seeing that she looked worried, Xu Cheng suggested, "Don't think about it for now. Do you want to walk around the campus together? I guess you haven't really walked around the campus of No. 3 Middle School yet."
"Ah? But class is about to start..."
Xu Cheng grabbed her sleeve and walked downstairs, "Then let's skip class. Today, let's be bad students who skip class together."
In late autumn, the leaves of the camphor trees on campus are all red. In the cold wind, they rustle, reflecting the bright golden light, swaying and dyeing the whole forest red.
Bright colors are visually impactful.
"In the summer, the leaves have a high chlorophyll content, so they are bright and green. In the fall, the days are short and the temperature is cool, so a lot of chlorophyll is broken down, and other pigments such as carotenoids in the leaves are revealed, so they turn red."
Seeing Yu Yu staring at him in surprise, Xu Cheng stammered, "I heard from my cousin next door that in the first year of high school, we will learn biology..."
The two of them walked around the school's more secluded laboratory building, computer building, and library.
Apart from the time when he was made to stand in the corner as punishment and was dragged to the fifth floor by Xu Cheng, it was the first time that Yu Yu leisurely strolled around the campus during class time.
It feels so empty... and so strange...
Because she was exposed to the two-dimensional world too early, she always felt weird when there was someone by her side.
My thoughts were drifting when Xu Cheng suddenly pushed me into the woods nearby.
"you……"
She looked at Xu Cheng with horror in her beautiful peach blossom eyes, but saw him put a finger to his lips.
“Shh…”
He pointed to the dean of studies who was passing by the bushes.
"We two bad students who skipped classes must not be caught by the teacher..."
The Dean's footsteps were approaching, which made Yu Yu feel relieved but also hold his breath unconsciously.
Her heart beat faster and faster, but out of the corner of her eye she saw that there was no trace of panic on Xu Cheng's face.
How come he is so skilled...
Xu Chengcai had no idea what Yu Yu was thinking. After the dean walked away, he bent down with interest, picked up a withered red leaf on the ground and placed it in front of Yu Yu.
"Do you remember the poem in elementary school, 'Stop and sit to enjoy the maple forest in the evening, the frosted leaves are redder than the flowers in February'? The poem is about the leaves of Liquidambar formosana. Isn't it beautiful?"
Yu Yu nodded and agreed softly.
"Um……"
Xu Cheng simply sat down on the ground, found a comfortable sitting position, and leaned his back against the tree trunk.
"If it's any later, they will turn into dry leaves, the kind that make a crunching sound when you step on them. There's only a short time every year when you can enjoy them..."
"How's it going? Are you feeling better now?"
Yu Yu squatted quietly on the ground, hugging his knees with his hands, his pupils dyed deep red by the autumn leaves.
She sighed, "It's all my fault. Things are getting so bad now..."
"I thought I would be alright if I did poorly on the test, but now even Aunt He lied about me..."
"I'm so stupid, I can't do anything right. I wish I could be as smart as you..."
Yu Yu rarely opened his heart and told Xu Cheng a lot of his innermost thoughts, more than he had said in a whole day before.
"There are no two leaves in the world that are exactly alike. Why do you have to be the same as me?"
Yu Yu buried his head between his thin knees.
"You, you can manage the class so well as the monitor, but I can't even be a team leader... Now I've messed things up..."
"No, you also have your own social skills..."
Yu Yu didn't understand and tilted his head to look at Xu Cheng.
What weapon?
"sincere."
Xu Cheng remembered that when he was in high school in his previous life, there was a very nice female classmate in his class. With her sincerity, she moved all the classmates. Even the most mischievous students in the class had a good impression of her. Anyone who made her angry would arouse public outrage.
At first, Xu Cheng had a more benevolent idea and wanted to help Yu Yu teach those three naughty kids a lesson, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this would push Yu Yu to the opposite side of the people around him.
After all, there are still three years of junior high school life... If Yu Yu cannot be integrated into the class, her aversion to studying will become more and more serious.
Later, he suddenly realized that he didn't need to do anything at all. Yu Yu's sincerity alone was enough to make those three naughty kids who didn't do their homework ashamed to death.
Sincerity is the secret weapon!
"You should go talk to the teacher and don't make things any more outrageous... I'm your half-brother now..."
Xu Cheng couldn't help but complain.
He Ying dares to say such things now, I dare not even imagine what she will be like in the future!
"Well, I'll make it clear to the teacher!"
Yu Yu tried to inflate himself, and his cheeks puffed up like a puffer fish, but immediately deflated like a punctured ball.
"I, I don't dare..."
Xu Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Why are you afraid? Let me practice with you. Just pretend that I'm your class teacher and tell me what you think."
"Huh?" Yu Yu hasn't reacted yet.
Xu Cheng coughed twice to make his voice sound rough, "Ahem, Yu Yu, why don't you want to be the team leader?"
"Um……"
"puff."
Yu Yu laughed out loud accidentally, and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, "It's really not like him..."
Xu Cheng was stunned for a few seconds.
She actually smiled at me?
Yu Yu immediately covered his mouth and looked at the ground embarrassedly. Only the sound of the autumn wind blowing "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" through the bushes could be heard.
My face was so hot that I couldn't help but pat it with my hands.
What happened today ...
After a while, it was Xu Cheng who spoke first to break the silence.
"Well... the get out of class is almost over, let's hurry up and do it two or three times."
"Oh, oh, oh..."
Xu Cheng looked down at his watch and said, "There are still ten minutes left."
"Ah? Is it too late?"
"That's enough, just hurry up..."
