Chapter 21: Gossip reached the person involved

The reporting night was successfully completed, but the results wouldn't come that quickly.

Justice might not be late, but justice cannot skip the process. Zhai Da could only hope that the Changjing Road Police Station's efficiency could be higher.

Even half as good as the Pozi Street Police Station would be fine.

He couldn't wait to get his hands on his TV.

He wondered how addictive it was? Was there a chance to "synthesize?"

Waking up in sleepiness the next morning, Zhai Da opened his phone, and there was already a text message.

Malnourished: "I'm eating breakfast."

Zhai Da rubbed his eyes and was confused for a while...

It was out of the blue.

So "Zhai Handsome Guy" replied: "Good."

But after sending it, he realized, this girl... was she reporting because he told her to eat well?

Draining, brushing teeth, washing his face, Zhai Da finally cleaned up, but occasionally Lu Wei's shadow would flash through his mind.

Simulating Lu Wei in some breakfast shop, reporting the situation in a matter-of-fact way.

It was actually quite cute.

Yu Xiaoli prepared buns and soy milk for breakfast, which should have been bought downstairs. Zhai Da stuffed them into his mouth, one every three bites.

Yu Xiaoli walked out holding a curling iron, looking at Zhai Da without speaking.

Zhai Da asked in surprise: "Three buns, are they for two people too?"

Yu Xiaoli: "I've already eaten. I'm just worried about whether you'll get fat. I've been feeding you too well lately."

Zhai Da instinctively looked down. His little belly, which already had a bit of fat, was indeed more prominent.

"Uh... makes sense, I'll find time to exercise."

"Hmm, anyway, you're not studying now, morning runs, night runs, either is fine."

Zhai Da snorted coldly.

Just wait, the cheat is already on the way.

Once the money arrives, I'll let you know that a golden scale is not a thing in a pond, once it meets the wind and clouds, it will turn into a dragon. I'll secretly score three hundred points and amaze you all!

Before going out, Zhai Da lifted his shirt in front of the bathroom mirror.

Sure enough, the fat on his belly seemed to have increased a bit compared to when he was reborn last week.

Mom's cooking is indeed the most fattening. Maybe because he missed that taste, he had been a bit indulgent lately.

He weighed himself, 76 kilograms.

Although for a height of 177, the standard weight is around 72 kilograms, Zhai Da didn't seem to exceed it by much.

But you have to know, that's a doctor's standard, not an "aesthetic standard."

Just like when a doctor calls to say your son has a minor injury, don't think it's really a minor injury; maybe a part is missing.

72 kilograms, if the body fat rate isn't low, already looks a bit chubby, and Zhai Da was currently developing in the direction of "medium fat"...

Zhai Da touched his chin, thinking to himself that Mom's cooking is indeed the most fattening... he really could consider the exercise problem.

If there was some [Equipment] that could stick the fat onto someone else, that would be great... like giving it all to Lu Wei.

Such a good-looking girl, if she had a bit of the fat she should have, she would probably look even better.

At least better than Lin Shuyao.

Carrying his heavy schoolbag, Zhai Da and Yu Xiaoli went out at the same time, and the two parted at the residential area gate.

The weather today was excellent. April is the tail end of spring, the most gentle time of the year.

As long as you ignore the fact that today is Saturday, the mood is still very bright.

But God just couldn't stand someone being comfortable. Just as he entered the teaching building corridor, he heard the sound of people gossiping about him again.

"What? That Zhai Da from Class 38? Impossible, right?"

"I saw it with my own eyes..."

Turning his head, it was still those few girls who stood at the pinnacle of Mao Fang Middle School.

The pinnacle of the gossip world.

The Four Heavenly Kings of tall, short, fat, and thin, each with their own unique features. Their thick bangs were very much in line with Zhai Da's stereotypical impression of this type of girl.

They weren't "bad teenagers" or "spirit sisters," but people who offended them might be gossiped about as not human in school.

Zhai Da often saw them whispering in the corridor, but he still didn't know which class they were in.

As if there was a "relevant class" hidden in the school.

But Zhai Da naturally wouldn't back down. Just like last time, he walked over with a smile: "Gossiping about me again? Why don't we chat together?"

The girls didn't play by the rules. A chubby girl stepped forward directly: "I heard Lin Shuyao confessed to you?"

Zhai Da choked: "...No."

The girl pursued: "At the bus stop? You rejected her, right?"

Zhai Da: "Classmate, don't talk nonsense, I just said no."

"So the fainting after being rejected in the confession was also a rumor spread by Lin Shuyao herself, right? So you two are in that kind of relationship... then why reject her? Not pretty enough? Or do you like Xiao Lu?"

No... are you even listening to people? Immersed in your own world?

And what Xiao Lu, Xiao Ma, My Little Pony...

At this moment, footsteps came from behind. The girls who hadn't been suppressed by Zhai Da just now scattered in a hurry. Zhai Da thought it was a teacher, but turned around to see Lin Shuyao holding a stack of test papers.

Wearing a school uniform, she actually looked better than the deliberate dressing up on her day off, and a simple ponytail was far better than the fluffy hairstyle imitating non-mainstream styles.

Lin Shuyao's face was flushed, both surprised and shy; she had clearly heard most of it.

The two were speechless. Zhai Da was also quite speechless. These girls gossiping about others actually gathered both parties involved at once...

So he chose to leave directly.

As they brushed past each other, Lin Shuyao, who was looking down, couldn't help but say: "I didn't..."

Zhai Da: "You'd better not have, and I haven't heard it either."

Both of them knew exactly who spread it. It would be enough to find an opportunity to beat Wu Yue up.

What could he do? After all, he was his own son, could he sever the father-son relationship?

Zhai Da finished speaking and walked into the classroom without looking back, leaving Lin Shuyao frozen on the spot.

Her fingers were white from clenching.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, her sanitary pad was even crooked from anger!

Turning her head to glare at Zhai Da's back, a sense of defiance was born.

Why! Am I that annoying?

The "evil plan" that had been stagnant for a few days because it was discovered by Wu Yue was ignited again.

Zhai Da! Just you wait! Once you fall in love with me! I'll... I'll...

Completely crush you so you can't turn over!

Zhai Da walked into the classroom and immediately felt several gazes sweep over, mostly from boys.

The scene in the corridor just now seemed to have been seen by many people... or rather, the rumor was starting to ferment.

Zhai Da's gaze went directly over the crowd and poked Wu Yue hard.

A rebellious son who doesn't do human things!

Sure enough, not long after sitting in his seat, trouble came to his door.

A boy named Chu Xiang walked over as if unintentionally and knocked on Zhai Da's desk.

"Zhai Da, haven't you handed in your homework for a long time?"

That arrogant tone practically wrote "I can control you" on his face.

At such a young age, he didn't even know what an official was, yet he was already imitating "official air" based on imagination.

Zhai Da looked up calmly: "Oh... which subject's class representative are you?"

Chu Xiang carried a trace of pride: "I am the study committee member."

Does it make you look good?

The conversation between the two also attracted the attention of some classmates around, such as his deskmate Yang Fan, who was pretending to sleep on the table, turned his head and exposed one ear.

"Student Zhai, I was taking care of your emotions before, but it's about time now. As the study committee member, I remind you to prioritize your studies."

Zhai Da flicked the pen in his hand, as if flicking off the dust on it: "Did the teacher ask you to come and ask?"

Chu Xiang was prepared and told a small lie: "Yes."

Taking chicken feathers as an arrow is an instinct, making things up out of thin air is a skill.

If I don't take control, wouldn't this study committee member be for nothing?

Zhai Da: "If the teacher asked you to come, you come. If the teacher asked you to die, why don't you go die?"

Chu Xiang: ...

This sounded familiar.

"I am the study committee member, shouldn't I care about your homework? Do you think I'm deliberately looking for trouble?"

Zhai Da opened his book directly and didn't turn his head: "It takes two to clap, flies don't bite seamless eggs, look for your own reasons more."

"You..."

"You what you, don't delay others in the morning. If you don't copy homework, others still have to copy homework. Don't affect students with upward mobility."

The movement here made many people in the classroom prick up their ears.

Including Lin Shuyao, who had just sat down.

Chu Xiang was stuck there and couldn't get off the stage.

Wu Yue started to help from the side: "It's already senior year, still a study committee member? What's wrong, extra points for the college entrance exam?"

Chu Xiang was a bit flushed and could only snort: "That's right, some people only have that many points, it really doesn't matter if they write homework or not."

Wu Yue: "Some people are just so cheap, it doesn't matter if they have a face or not."

Then he smiled at Zhai Da as if asking for credit, but only got an eye roll from Zhai Da.

He wasn't angry at all, it was just the whimpering of a lick-dog.

If you want to hold a grudge, you have to hold it against the dog owner.

So troublesome. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
