Lao Liu was speechless, but not having caught any evidence, he had to let it go. After glancing around the class, the room gradually quieted down.
"Ahem, everyone, stop for a moment."
As he spoke, Lao Liu walked towards the podium, clearly having something to announce.
The class continued doing their own things, no one stopped. But... Lin Dong stopped, sitting up straight, anticipating Lao Liu’s announcement.
To be precise, he was waiting for the announcement of the coming-of-age ceremony.
Because you could see legs, even if it was with those legging wonders. In any case, that day had the second highest chance to see beauties, only next to the New Year’s Day party.
"Say it out, just say it." Lin Dong was already bouncing his leg.
Sun Zhicheng looked at him, appearing a bit listless.
"Why are you so excited?"
"The coming-of-age ceremony, didn’t I tell you?"
Hearing this, Sun Zhicheng couldn’t muster any interest.
Lately, he had been following the plan Lin Dong set for him, chatting online nonstop. It was fun at first, but later... it became a bit exhausting.
After chatting for a while, he truly didn’t care about Chen Yunyun anymore.
Strictly speaking, he didn’t care about anyone or anything in reality anymore. His mind was only on studying and online chatting every day; as soon as he got home, he would start replying to messages.
From morning to night, not even taking a break at noon.
Of course, the progress was pleasing; his online chatting with girls had become smoother and more comfortable. He had been deleted or ghosted, but still managed to build some skills.
The problem was, he chatted too deeply, and his mental energy couldn’t keep up.
Sun Zhicheng consulted Lin Dong, who just looked at him puzzled, then said, "You can’t handle such simple flirting?"
He had nothing to say, but he was becoming increasingly tired.
On the podium, Lao Liu talked about fire and theft prevention and then reiterated the prohibition on early dating.
"Ah, as far as I know, there are a few couples in our class. I advise these students to focus their hearts back on studying early."
"Ah, when I was in high school, I looked quite delicate. When girls asked me to walk around the track, I would firmly refuse. Why, you ask?"
In the back row, Jiang Nian interjected.
"Because, teacher, you liked walking with boys."
The class erupted in laughter, and even Lao Liu laughed, then called for quiet a few times.
"Ah, how should I say this, I didn’t like walking around the track with boys either, because back then I was engrossed in studying. Looking back now..."
Li Hua asked, "You might as well have gone."
The class erupted in laughter again, and suddenly cheers erupted from the class next door.
This made Lin Dong a bit anxious, thinking to himself, get to the coming-of-age ceremony already.
"Go? I definitely wouldn’t have gone. It’s just that looking back now, after refusing a girl back then, I should have chosen A for that multiple-choice question."
Upon hearing this, Yang Qiming shouted loudly.
"Sir, you’re already married, the well-fed don’t understand the hunger of the starving."
The class was in an uproar of laughter and commotion.
Lao Liu didn’t continue on this topic, coughed once, and then started talking about the week’s school arrangements.
"Saturday! Saturday, Cai Xiaoqing, note this down. On Saturday morning, the school is organizing a coming-of-age ceremony for the third-year students, and we line up at nine AM sharp."
"Ah, sports committee member Liu Yang, note this down too, get the classmates to gather at the running spot on the playground."
Hearing this, Lin Dong was instantly excited, asking.
"Teacher, do we still have morning self-study?"
Lao Liu sat at the podium, staring at Lin Dong for three seconds, and then tossed out a sentence.
In an instant, the class erupted into excitement.
They finally understood what the cheers from the next class were about just now, the rare time they didn’t have morning self-study; arriving at school by nine was simply golden.
The feeling of not having to get up early for morning self-study or an early class in winter could only be described as exhilarating.
