Chapter 528 – Start of Summer Vacation
Once the anesthesia began to wear off and Li CunZhuang awoke, a new world appeared in front of his eyes.
No, I’m not saying he ascended to heaven to meet God, but his thoughts were much clearer than before.
Li CunZhuang was quite lucky. Dr. Yu was able to successfully remove his brain tumor and also relieve a brain nerve that was receiving long-term pressure. The most apparent result was his face no longer twitched and he became calmer, his learning ability even increased.
According to Dr. Yu, Li CunZhuang’s tumor was formed congenitally. The reason he has always appeared to be intellectually inferior was mainly because of the tumor which caused significant pressure to his brain.
However, despite Dr. Yu’s confidence, we had doubts about his claim, mainly because Li CunZhuang’s stuttering was not cured. Li CunZhuang’s first words after waking up were: “I... I want to drink water...”
His second sentence was, “It... it hurts so damn much...”
But Dr. Yu believes that Li CunZhuang has undoubtedly become smarter after receiving his treatment. His stuttering was due to a long-established habit that had nothing to do with intelligence. He even suggested Li CunZhuang to leave the hospital early to take the tests at school to prove his deductions were correct.
Of course, Li CunZhuang’s parents didn’t agree to such an outrageous suggestion. After a period of observation in the hospital, even the fussy director Han had to admit that Dr. Yu’s surgery was perfect. Li CunZhuang’s condition became better every day, and he had none of the common after-effects of surgery.
Dr. Yu, of course, was thanked by Li CunZhuang’s parents, but Dr. Yu always looked at Li CunZhuang on the hospital bed and muttered to himself: “It’s a pity, he had such a large head, so it could obviously fit...”
I seriously suspect that Dr. Yu spent those two extra hours trying to put in a weird personal inventions and finally gave up for whatever reason.
What a dreadful doctor. His medical skill might be excellent, but you would always feel uneasy going to him for treatment, because you might be accidentally transformed into something else.
In addition to thanking Dr. Yu, Li CunZhuang’s parents also treated me as their benefactor. They treated me even more cordially, which I was ashamed of, so I told them Peng TouSi, the black bodyguard, ran around a lot and was much more helpful than me.
The couple already had a very good impression of Peng TouSi, but after hearing me say so, they took time to visit the VIP building of Qing Zi Academy and even brought a gift to express their gratitude. Peng TouSi didn’t accept the gift, but chatted very intimately with Li CunZhuang’s father. I was worried that the two had developed some sort of relationship, so I hurriedly interrupted them.
It just so happens Ai Mi was heading out by car and Peng TouSi was called over to be the driver. I secretly told the couple, the little blonde girl sitting in the car was the one who did everything behind the scenes, but she wasn’t good at interacting with people, so you didn’t have to thank her.
While being moved about the fact they had so many people around to help, the couple bowed towards where Ai Mi sat in the car, but Ai Mi didn’t have any reaction.
“Did you not feel anything after being thanked for doing a good deed?”
I asked Ai Mi afterwards.
“It has nothing to do with me.” Ai Mi leaned on her face to look out the car window, as if something was bothering her, “It was your good deed, so it’s fine if you accepted their gratitude. I don’t really like that couple much.”
But from Ai Mi’s eyes, I couldn’t see any particular dislike for Li CunZhuang’s parents. In fact, I didn’t think there was anything about Li CunZhuang’s parents that would make you dislike them.
When Ai Mi threw down her phone on a call with Ai ShuQiao once over acting arrangements, I understood Ai Mi’s thoughts a little.
Ai Mi once said Li CunZhuang was ugly after she happened to see the photo of his profile on the computer, which was true, so even I couldn’t defend Li CunZhuang.
“His parents are so worried about such an ugly kid.”
That was what Ai Mi said next.
So the real reason why Ai Mi hates Li CunZhuang’s parents was out of jealousy.
“Although I’m beautiful pretty and he’s ugly, he still gets more love than me.” It’s just Ai Mi would never say it out loud.
Although most of her demands were met, Ai Mi felt more “control” than “love” from her mother. Then again, if she really loved her daughter, she wouldn’t have used her to kill someone.
Although the desire to save my sister from the clutches of Ai ShuQiao was unprecedentedly stronger than ever, I had other difficult tasks before that.
The final exams.
Starting July 5th, my classmates and I braved the intense heat as we were “grilled” by both the sun and the tests.
In order to reduce our chances of cheating, the number of blank sheets we had for calculations was strictly limited. It made me very uncomfortable as I had always used blank paper generously, so I didn’t even do well in Physics, a subject I excelled at.
However, I had some small improvement in the humanities. For example, in the open-book political science exam, I was able to barely pass because of the key points that Xiao Qin wrote out for me.
July 10th came in the blink of an eye. After the last exam in the morning, the end of school ceremony was held at 10:20 a.m. Although the results were not yet released, everyone was already elated.
After two days of horsing around, the website to check our final exam scores was sent to our cell phones. Some people were happy and some were sad. Xiao Qin and I were both in the middle of the class and didn’t really have any plans of improving ourselves any further.
The class leader’s performance was outstanding. Not only was she first in the class, but she also won the school’s first place scholarship, which meant she could pay less tuition for the next school term.
Gong CaiCai, who usually had a okay performance, came in second place and won the second place scholarship.
In third place was Niu ShiLi. Due to the lack of paper for calculations, I didn’t do as well in physics, so he, as the physics class representative, finally got first place for physics. But he and I have become friends who drank the same bottle of Fu Yan Jie, so he felt much less joy. As expected, only emptiness remains after you achieve your wish.
Loud Mouth and Little Smart both did better than me and Xiao Qin. Little Smart’s essay was also taken as a model and was put on the school’s website for everyone to worship.
As for Xiong YaoYue, who was addicted to volleyball, basketball, arcade games, skateboarding, and LOL, her final grades were disastrous. She angrily pretended to choke Gong CaiCai and the class leader while sobbing:
“It’s you two who raised the average score of our class, right?”
Afterward was the parents meeting, teacher Yu gave a cliché talk and told the students to be careful during summer break. Also, we would be in our third year next year, so we should get ready for the high school exams. And don’t slack off during the break, and so on and so forth...
My dad finished his work at the right time and was able to make it to the parent-teacher meeting on his second day back at home.
Auntie Ren naturally attended too. She sat at Xiao Qin’s spot and absent-mindedly listened to the class leader’s report as the representative. She never said a word to my dad and the entire scene was extremely awkward.
Not to mention that afterwards teacher Yu told the parents to pay attention if their children suddenly likes dressing up and returning home later, because in the last student physical examination, a girl was found to be four months pregnant...
I wonder what Auntie Ren felt as she had her hand on her gradually growing belly.
After the parent-teacher conference, dad wanted to invite Auntie Ren out to dinner, but failed to do so. Finally, he went home with his head down, and I had to comfort his broken heart.
“Dad, when I was running the online store, the turnover went up a lot.” I showed off my achievements.
Actually, most of the extra income came from the sale of perverted goods, but my dad didn’t know anything about it. As for the “rope model” photos on the product page, I simply said I got my source from the internet and asked an expert to Photoshop it, and my dad kind of believed it.
Speaking of Shu Zhe, he broke up with his girlfriend Xiao Li on the first official day of summer vacation.
“I’m angry. Xiao Li said I suddenly lacked masculinity, so she broke up with me.”
It’s not suddenly, but you always lacked masculinity. Recently, your masculinity has been dwindling, so it seems Xiao Li is quite sensitive.
“Hmph, I don’t care if we break up. I originally bought some very expensive skin care products as a gift for her, but what should I do with it. If I give it to my sister then she will certainly ask me where I got the money, so I might as well use it on myself...”
Although he was voicing a complaint, his expression looked like he picked up a bargain.
Already starting to using women’s skin care products? If you keep developing towards the path of a trap, then there will be no path of return. Eventually, the class leader will find out about it, so what should I do?
Speaking of summer vacation, there is naturally homework for summer vacation.
Looking at the five thick books of summer homework in front of me, I couldn’t help but miss a teacher Wang from the fourth grade.
Although all the parents complained about serious neglect of duty and corruption of a teacher’s ethics, but no one got summer homework that year. Mr. Wang instructed the boys to help bring all the blank summer homework and sold them to scrap collectors. None of the students reported him when he pocketed the money himself, instead we had one of the best summer vacations ever.
But the past is now just a memory, so I don’t want to think about it anymore.
Since I had an abundance of time during summer vacation, Director Cao had me finish filming for the remainder of the episodes for ‘Bloody Battle of Jin Ling’.
