Chapter 12

Yu Fan felt that he could now fight against two Yu Kaimings with one hand so, after leaving the hospital, he took a taxi straight home.

Having been driving the whole day, the taxi driver felt a little stuffy so his window was partly open.

He glanced at the person sitting at the back, "Little brother, is it okay to keep the window open?"

Yu Fan, "Yes."

The wind blowing in from the front window made his face feel a little cold.

Yu Fan subconsciously retracted into his collar and a faint smell of detergent drifted into his nose.

He frowned and lowered his head and caught sight of the white down jacket.

"...."

Forgot to return it.

He should give it back to him tomorrow.

At the entrance to his complex, Yu Fan got out of the car. He thought for a moment and moved to take off the down jacket and held it in his arms.

It was so that it wouldn't get dirty later.

But he had clearly overthought the situation. Since there was no power at home and he couldn't get anyone to come in the middle of the night to open the padlock, Yu Kaiming had left last night and still hadn't returned.

After returning home, Yu Fan locked the front door behind him and glanced at the door to his room.

The door had been kicked with force and there were visible footprints left on it. It could be seen how angry Yu Kaiming was at the time.

Yu Fan coldly retracted his gaze and returned to his room.

The next day, Yu Fan walked through the school gates with a thick, white down jacket in his arms. He felt like an idiot.

He didn't think much of it when he wore it yesterday but he now felt that this jacket was just too thick.

Does Chen Jingshen have a weak physique?

Yu Fan entered the classroom just as the bell rang. Zhuang Fangqin had arrived particularly early today and was at this moment already sitting at the podium.

When Wang Lu'an saw him, he sent him desperate signals with his eyes, but before Yu Fan could react, Zhuang Fangqin had already stood up with a sullen face.

"Yu Fan, come with me." She glanced at the other people in the classroom, "Morning reading has started. The English class representative can take the lead."

And so, before Yu Fan's butt could even touch his seat, he turned and left the classroom.

"What did you do yesterday?" In the corridor, Zhuang Fangqin crossed her arms and asked.

Yu Fan, "Sleep."

"And?"

Normally, he would've been able to say a lot of things but Yu Fan thought about it for a long time and was certain that he didn't do anything yesterday apart from sleeping.

"Not going to say it?" Zhuang Fangqin glanced at the people in the classroom, "Did you send Chen Jingshen to the hospital yesterday?"

"....."

Zhuang Fangqian saw the clothes in his arms and was shocked, "On top of hitting him, you even stole his jacket?"

For some reason, Yu Fan suddenly remembered how he was easily subdued by Chen Jingshen when he tried to punch him yesterday.

"I didn't hit him." At least, he wasn't successful.

Yu Fan paused, "Where did you hear that from?"

"I saw it in the school group chat, You were with him at the hospi——" Zhuang Fangqin quickly came to a stop.

Yu Fan, "I see. So you have smuggled your way into our school group chat?"

Not only did she smuggle her way in, she had also set up a few keyword reminders in the group. As soon as anyone mentions Yu Fan's name, she would receive a reminder.

Zhuang Fangqin, "Of course not. It was a picture a student sent to me."

"…."

"Then why did you go to the hospital last night?"

Yu Fan swallowed back his explanation.

"I lied. I did hit him." A while later, Yu Fan leaned against the wall and added, "His good student behaviour annoys me. I can't guaratee that I won't hit him again."

Zhuang Fangqin raised a brow and silently looked at him.

She had been Yu Fan's homeroom teacher for more than a year. She could already tell whether or not this boy was speaking the truth.

Sure enough, the next moment Yu Fan said, "So if you move his seat somewhere else, I wouldn't be able to do anything to him."

Zhuang Fangqin's heart that had been tense all night finally relaxed.

Fortunately, it wasn't a fight. Yu Fan still had a lot of demerits on him right now. If he got into some sort of major trouble again, it would be quite serious for him.

And that was why she felt that Yu Fan wouldn't suddenly hit a classmate for no reason. She however still had to make sure.

But since Yu Fan seemed to be very unhappy with the seating, she probably should think about changing it.

If two classmates cannot coexist peacefully, it would be better not to expect anything else from them.

"Alright." Zhuang Fangqin raised her chin and gestured towards the classroom, "Go back inside for morning reading."

When Yu Fan returned to his seat, he noticed that almost half the class was looking his way.

He had long grown used to this kind of situation but it made him particularly uncomfortable today. As such, he looked back at each of them sternly.

After all those heads had turned back, Yu Fan moved to look at the person next to him.

Chen Jingshen was dressed more thinly than yesterday, only wearing a jumper. He was in the middle of reciting English vocabulary with the rest of the class.

He appeared a little sluggish and his lips were also a little pale. When he was expressionless like that, he looked somewhat sickly.

Looks like he really has a weak physique.

Yu Fan realised later that the other part had been sitting in the hospital all night without his jacket. Wouldn't that have made him even weaker?

Chen Jingshen's voice wasn't too loud but it was lower than most people so it stood out amongst the collective voices reading out the vocabulary.

As he read and read, he suddenly covered his mouth and coughed.

Yu Fan returned to his senses and roughly shoved the down jacket into his arms, "Forgot about it last night. Here."

Chen Jingshen was tired after staying up late studying.

With an 'en', he placed it on his lap and continued to read the vocabulary out loud.

Yu Fan leaned back in his chair and glanced at him.

Two minutes later, he looked at him again.

…..…

When the English class representative finally stepped off the podium with their textbook, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore, "Hey."

Chen Jingshen appeared to have only just noticed him, "Yes?"

"It's touching me." With his legs crossed, Yu Fan nudged the down jacket resting in his lap and frowned, "Wear it."

Chen Jingshen, while maintaining the action of putting his textbook back into his desk, looked over at him.

Yu Fan felt uncomfortable being looked at like that. He asked icily, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing." Chen Jingshen put on the down jacket.

He then turned away and coughed even harder.

Yu Fan, "....."

During class break, Wang Lu'an invited Yu Fan to a smoke break.

The person next to him asked, "Brother Fan, when I saw the picture posted by Zuo Kuan, I really thought you beat Chen Jingshen up."

"I already told you, Yu Fan would never touch anyone in our class." Wang Lu'an took a drag and breathed out, "So why did you two go to the hospital yesterday?"

Yu Fan couldn't be bothered explaining. He just said some nonsense, "I was passing by. He just happened to be leaving the hospital and we ran into each other."

Wang Lu'an let out an 'oh', "I thought you two became close brothers since you were standing so close to each other."

"How could that be possible?" Yu Fan looked out the window, "I'm not close with him."

The next class was Fangqin's class. They finished off their cigarettes and hurried back to the classroom.

Zhuang Fangqin went straight to the point as soon as she walked in, "I roughly went through last night's homework and caught a few people who slacked off. Some didn't even write it ten times. These people will need to rewrite it ten more times for me over the weekend and give it to me next week.

"Also," She took out a workbook from the pile, "Yu Fan, stand up and tell me yourself."

What was the problem now?

Yu Fan slowly stood up, "Tell you what?"

"Someone else wrote this for you didn't they?" Zhuang Fangqin waved the workbook in the air, "How could your writing be this good? You should look at the writing on the front and the writing inside. How could it be written by the same person?"

"....."

"I can accept you copying less or even not handing it in," Zhuang Fangqin said, "but you can't force your classmate to write it for you. This is very dreadful beha——" "Screech". Before Yu Fan could react, the person next to him had pushed back his chair and stood up.

"Teacher, he didn't force anyone."

Zhuang Fangqin was taken aback, "What….."

Chen Jingshen, "I helped him write it on my own initiative."

Yu Fan, "...."

Zhuang Fangqin, "...."

Wang Lu'an, "???"

The two of them stood outside the classroom with their textbooks in their hands One stood straight and tall while the other one was slouching.

Their classroom was next to the corridor and the two windows along the corridor were wide open.

Yu Fan straightened up with impatience to block the wind.

"Are you an idiot?" He couldn't help but ask, "Why did you stand up?"

Chen Jingshen glanced at him, "Sorry."

"...….."

An apology isn't really necessary.

Yu Fan opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Chen Jingshen, "I didn't expect you to have such bad handwriting."

"..." "You should practise more in the future."

"...…" "You should at least be able to write your name legibly."

"Say one more word," Yu Fan's grip around his textbook tightened as he forced the rest of his words through his teeth, "and I'll put your stupid love letter up on the school bulletin board for the entire school to see——" The person next to him glanced over lightly, "You still have it?"

"...."

The others in the classroom had been watching these two stand close together, whispering to each other for a while now.

You say you're not close? Wang Lu'an was at loss.

You say you find him annoying? Zhuang Fangqin clenched her fists.

Just as she was about to tell them to come up and chat on the podium if they wanted to chat that much, she saw Yu Fan turn away with his textbook in his hands, revealing his bright red ears.

He went over to the back door of the class.
