Chapter 25, the cusp of the storm
"Oh, why aren't you convinced?"
Xu Lang flicked his snow-white sleeves lightly and asked casually. Now that Liu Qingyuan is a fish on the chopping board, if he dares to repent, even if he asks him to drop out of school on the spot, he can't find a reason to object.
"Zhang Xifan has been reciting it for two years, and now he can get away with it, what's ......so difficult about it?"
Liu Qingyuan's white face turned red at this time. He never thought that one day he would quibble about not fulfilling his oath, and leave behind all the gentlemanly style he had longed for since he was a child. Yes, he was ashamed in his heart, his eyes dodged, and he didn't dare to meet Xu Lang's eyes with a hint of mockery.
"Heh......" Xu Lang chuckled, and there were no other words, he just looked at Liu Qingyuan calmly, and the meaning was naturally self-evident. Liu Qingyuan's face turned a little redder again, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to bow his head.
Seeing Liu Qingyuan's embarrassed appearance now, Heizi also felt a little happy in his heart, but soon, he thought of himself who was often ridiculed wantonly in the past.
At that time, wasn't he often embarrassed like this?
Thinking of this, his heart softened, he sighed secretly, took two steps forward, and wanted to open his mouth to intercede for Liu Qingyuan. Xu Lang seemed to feel something, turned around and glared at him fiercely, Heizi shrank his head, and didn't dare to make any more moves, so he had to swallow the words that came to his mouth back into his stomach.
Seeing that the little "rotten good man" behind him was honest, Xu Lang turned around and continued to stare at Liu Qingyuan without saying a word. "tortured" him with his gaze for a long time, until Liu Qingyuan's body was like a sieve chaff and his forehead was sweating profusely, he cleared his throat, raised a handsome face that was not smiling, and slowly came to Liu Qingyuan's eyes.
"So what do you think Zhang Xifan should do in order to convince you and abide by our ...... Gentleman, son, covenant?"
He deliberately dragged the words "Gentleman's Covenant" until he finished speaking, especially the word "gentleman" was the heaviest. Hearing this, Liu Qingyuan's heart fluctuated, his face turned purple, and his chest seemed to be blocked with a mouthful of old blood.
At this time, it was almost two o'clock in the morning, and many schoolchildren carrying test boxes came in droves. Seeing the three people with different expressions in the courtyard, they all came to join in the fun. They gathered around in twos and threes, talking to each other, pointing and guessing what had happened.
Seeing that all the classmates are coming, it will only be more embarrassing if it drags on any longer, so it is better to be ruthless and solve this matter quickly. The hands hanging on his waist shook hard, Liu Qingyuan stiffened, ignoring the various eyes around him, and looked straight into Xu Lang's eyes.
"As long as he dares to endorse me, ......he wins," he said, pointing at the sunspot who was shrinking his head to the side. "I'll make good on my vow!"
Crash!
The onlookers who did not know the truth were immediately in an uproar. No one could have imagined that Liu Qingyuan, who was the first in his homework in the school, would actually challenge this notorious "stubborn stone". After a short period of stunnedness, the little teenagers who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic were all fluctuating and enthusiastic, and their originally listless little faces were red with excitement at this time, even more excited than if they had won the show.
"Liu Qingyuan will win!"
Someone took the lead in shouting, and then the young and immature "must win, must win" echoed loudly, but no one supported the lonely figure with his head shrunk, as if Zhang Xifan's fiasco, in their opinion, is a matter of course, it should be so, and it is destined to be!
Listening to the shouts of his classmates, Liu Qingyuan's face was slightly flat, and the proud look of the past has recovered a little. Bending down to pick up the folding fan he had just thrown away, he seemed to have regained the "gentleman's style". Unfolded the folding fan with a "swish", and he looked at the sunspot coldly between shaking the fan slowly.
"Hey, dare you agree, don't you dare, just say it. Anyway, we all know that you are a 'stubborn rock' that does not slip away, and even if you admit it at this time, there is nothing to be ashamed of!"
Xu Lang sneered slightly, and did not dismantle the white-faced young man who was now trying to pretend to seem to have forgotten everything just now. He has always been dismissive of such people - and he even regrets that he went to the trouble of leading him into a fool.
Turning around and retreating to the lost Zhang Xifan, he tilted his head and whispered: "Look, this is the villain, you have a good heart, but they often take the initiative to ignore it...... This kind of person is not worthy of sympathy and ...... Forgive!"
Kuroko was stunned, wondering why this new master would say such a heart-wrenching word. He vaguely remembered that Master Shi Yiwan had said that as a scholar, he should aim to help the world, and he should "teach without class", but what Master Xu said was almost deviant!
Thinking of this, Kuroko opened his mouth wide and looked at Xu Lang in surprise. It's a pity that this very handsome Xu Fuzi turned a blind eye to his gaze, bowed his head and said "Go, promise him", then laughed evilly, and pushed the still timid sunspot into the field!
"How dare he say yes!"
The onlookers exclaimed in unison, could it be that this "stubborn stone" actually had the courage to agree to Liu Qingyuan's challenge, could it be that his skin has grown thicker recently?
For a while, spittle and white eyes flew together, and mockery was full of contempt. The schoolchildren all feel that this Zhang Xifan, who can't even memorize the "Three Character Classic", is shameless, who knows, Zhang Xifan has memorized it without omission just now, and Liu Qingyuan, who they are very optimistic about, is the one who is really shameless!
"I ...... I promise. ”
Regarding Liu Qingyuan's challenge, in fact, after not forgetting the "Three Character Classic" just now, Heizi was already fearless in his heart, but it was the first time for him to stand in front of his classmates so straightforwardly. Rao is that he has been criticized many times by Shi Yiwan in the past, and the white-eyed ridicule of his classmates does not know how many times he has heard and watched it; now he suddenly has to face strange and familiar people, he is still dry-mouthed, his eyes are evasive, and he is a little nervous and at a loss.
It's like a new recruit on the battlefield.
Xu Lang looked at Zhang Xifan, a big girl, who was shy like a sedan chair, and couldn't help but feel sad about it.
You said that you are a guy who has opened the spiritual knack, and you can obviously remember it, and you are completely sure to win for endorsements and the like. Why are you still so nervous?
Naturally, I am used to being bullied on weekdays......
Thinking of this, he felt even more pity for this little guy with a black face. After seeing that he hesitated, he stopped talking, obviously losing his momentum first, so he had to smile bitterly and relieve him in a loud voice.
"It's not too early, you all come to the academy first. I am your new master, Xu Lang. ”
Hey, Xu Taixian, Xu Taixian, you really live up to your name of "too idle"......
He bowed his head and muttered, swaying his snow-white sleeves, turned around first, and stepped into the school full of tables and chairs.
