Gu Fei's brow rose as he took out his earphones and tilted his head to the side to look at Jiang Cheng.

This guy is actually pretty difficult to deal with. Since he's in a new and unfamiliar environment, he has to restrain himself.

He looked with great interest at the person in front of him, Zhou Jing, who was in complete shock with his mouth still wide open. If he had not eaten his egg already, he would have certainly shoved it in his mouth.

However, Jiang Cheng's kick just now was considered enough to provoke someone. Zhou Jing was an annoying teenager with a bad temper and easy to rub the wrong way. If that kick had landed elsewhere... Gu Fei's gaze swept to the right, then there should be a fight.

"What happened? What's going on?" Lao Xu patted his desk. "We're in class, we're in class. Gu Fei, what are you doing?"

Gu Fei was taken aback. He used a finger to point at himself and his lips made a circular shape, "Me?"

"Isn't it you!" Lao Xu said. "You must be bored out of your mind now that you're done eating your breakfast!"

When the students in the surrounding tables burst out into a peal of laughter, Gu Fei could not help it and also laughed, twisting his head to look at Jiang Cheng.

"What are you looking at him for?" Lao Xu pointed at him. "His grades will leave you all in the dust!!"[1]

"Oh—" the entire class suddenly shouted.

"Xue—ba—"

[Xueba - top student, Brainiac: more positive than 'bookworm', leaving in the Chinese]

"Lao Xu has a key target to cultivate now ahhh—"

Gu Fei sighed, Lao Xu, this intelligence of yours makes it look like you're an innocent internship teacher who has never taught a chaotic class before. With just this one sentence, you have segregated Jiang Cheng from the rest of the class with a three-foot threshold.

Jiang Cheng looked at Lao Xu and wholeheartedly suspected that this person was a mole sent by his mother to torture him in any possible way.

Although he was not afraid of any kinds of provocations and he had not suppressed his temper since he had entered until that moment, he did not want to be praised about his grades by the homeroom teacher in a class where the word 'chaotic' could be easily seen with just a glance.

'Xueba", these two words combined to one were simply a type of ridicule.

"That's enough," Lao Xu cleared his throat. "Let's continue with class... where were we..."

Before, Jiang Cheng was already not listening to what Lao Xu was lecturing about and now, he didn't feel like listening even more. He simply lied on his desk and took out his cellphone.

In the past, he was like a thief when he sneaked to play with his phone in class; the ringtone and media both needed to be muted before he plugged the earphones and quietly slid the wire through the sleeves of his shirt and put it in his ear.

The homeroom teacher's drawer was filled with a pile of confiscated cellphones, making it look just like a secondhand cellphone stall in the street.

Si Zhong was different. When Jiang Cheng's gaze swept toward Gu Fei, he saw that his cellphone was already on the desk with a stand propping it up, and he obviously had earphones on as he hugged his arms and leaned back into the chair to watch the video.
