Chapter 461: Class 4 art students also have the Four Heavenly Kings
This picture in front of him is indeed something Xue Jian completely didn't anticipate.
He was still sneering in his heart just now, waiting to see how Lin Li would slide to his knees to him next.
He thought it would be opening his mouth to plead for mercy and pull connections.
But he didn't expect this kid to skip this step directly and consciously start the punishment phase, highlighting an honest and obedient attitude.
There is a beauty of an honest person going all out.
And when Bai Bufan also followed dejectedly, the picture became even harder to hold back.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that if he laughed out loud on this occasion, it would fulfill Lin Li's wish and his own momentum would completely collapse, then what would be echoing in the stairwell now would be more than just the sound of frog jumps.
After suppressing the corners of his mouth, Xue Jian sneers again.
Heh, you two decided to punish yourselves, huh.
Then he will see, you two's attitude.
Xue Jian suspects that Lin Li is advancing by retreating, trying to
But he had overthought it.
As for him and Bai Bufan, his own heart was already as cold and piercing as Lin Li, who had been slaughtering at RT-Mart for ten years.
Unsurprisingly, what these two were looking forward to at this moment was for him to say something like "That's enough" in a gentle voice.
But he wouldn't.
Xue Jian had already made up his mind; he would remain silent and just keep watching Lin Li and Bai Bufan frog-jump non-stop. In any case, he definitely wouldn't be the one to give up first. Just thinking about the exhausted and helpless expressions the two would have later made him look forward to it.
Thinking of this, the corners of Xue Jian's mouth couldn't help but want to curl up again.
His gaze turned toward the stairs.
Lin Li and Bai Bufan had already jumped to the landing between the second and third floors. The two didn't stop for a moment, turned the corner, and continued jumping upward.
Tsk tsk, their eyes were deliberately averted the whole time, not daring to make eye contact with him at all; they were guilty as hell.
Xue Jian sneered.
The sound of the two frog-jumping grew more and more distant, and the stairwell was quiet, making it even more suitable for thinking.
"..."
Xue Jian: "o_o."
Wait a minute.
It seems like something is wrong.
The stairs on each floor of the teaching building have two sections, connected by a corner landing in the middle.
And just now, when Lin Li and Bai Bufan were punishing those four students, they only required them to jump half a section, which was jumping from the second floor to the corner landing between the second and third floors. This was firstly to make the twenty round trips simple, and secondly to keep the four students in their field of vision at all times, so they could be seen clearly at a glance.
But just now, after Lin Li and Bai Bufan jumped to the corner landing, they didn't go downstairs, but walked toward the third floor.
They walked.
Yeah, they walked.
Xue Jian: "(゜▽゜)?"
Your mother!
Are they trying to run away?!!
Not daring to make eye contact with him just now... perhaps it wasn't because of guilt, but because they were worried he would stop them?!
"Lin Li! Bai Bufan!! Stop jumping up! Get down here! Did you hear me! Get down!"
Xue Jian suddenly realized that this was something Lin Li could actually lead the way in doing. He immediately lost his composed posture and shouted toward the stairs, feeling a bit broken.
"Get down!!"
"..."
The echoes lingered, and the sound of two people's listless, dejected footsteps came from upstairs.
At the same time, there was also the sound of muttering and complaining to each other:
"I told you Old Man Jian wasn't that stupid. Look, he reacted after all..."
"It's because you jumped too slowly. We were about to be free as birds and fish, you good-for-nothing thing..."
"What do we do now?"
"Take it one step at a time. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Our dear Teacher Lai is very magnanimous and gentle; he definitely won't make things difficult for us."
"Lin Li, who is Teacher Lai? The teacher we have to face is surnamed Xue."
"I mean, Teacher Xue deserves to be surnamed Lai. I knew that before I enrolled. He is a model in the field of education, not only having students everywhere, but his knowledge is as vast as the sea. He also has a gentle, rain-like way of teaching and a heart that shines like gold for his students. His education of students usually adopts—"
Xue Jian: "Violent methods."
Xue Jian cut off the words abruptly, or rather, provided a supplement.
Lin Li, Bai Bufan: "..."
The flattery operation seemed to have failed.
Xue Jian sneered. Did they still want to sing in harmony to coax him?
The two were still staying on the corner landing and didn't dare to come down; he wasn't that easy to fool.
"Get down." Xue Jian urged with a cold face.
The two had no other choice now. They went downstairs dejectedly and stood still in front of Xue Jian.
At this moment, Lin Li and Bai Bufan had already taken off their masks, which caused their faces and attire to be extremely mismatched. Once the incongruity set in, the whole thing looked very ridiculous.
But Xue Jian had already undergone professional training—referring to the "don't laugh" challenge just now—and wouldn't laugh so easily, so he still kept a straight face.
"Speak, what's going on?" Xue Jian said lightly.
"Teacher, it was all Lin Li's doing. I was just forced to follow him after being threatened. This matter has nothing to do with me at all. I am also a victim! And I have actually been keeping an eye on him to make sure he has a bottom line. Not only did I not participate in the evil deeds, but I was also protecting the school in my own way! Teacher, you must be discerning!!"
Bai Bufan spoke first to gain the upper hand.
Lin Li did not refute.
Of course, it wasn't because his brotherly loyalty had kicked in and he decided to sacrifice himself to protect Bai Bufan, but because he believed Xue Jian wouldn't believe Bai Bufan's bullshit, so there was no need for him to waste his breath.
However, he noted this backstabbing; he would take revenge when he had the chance in the future.
"Stop saying all this nonsense. Where did you two steal these clothes from?" Xue Jian, as expected, didn't listen at all. He just frowned, raised his chin, and said in a stern voice:
"Speak quickly, I'm not joking with you right now."
"I prepared them when I went out at noon, because in the morning..."
Lin Li didn't hide anything either; he repeated the explanation he had given Bai Bufan earlier. After the reason was explained, without waiting for Xue Jian to ask, he immediately recounted what the two had done next:
"After we finished changing our clothes, we started looking for those..."
"..."
"... and then we were caught by you, Teacher. Excluding you, Teacher, we met a total of 18 students and one teacher. We only scared the 12 students who violated the rules and regulations by playing with their phones in the classroom, and it was just frog-jumping on the steps. Just like before, we let them go back to the playground after they finished."
"These are all the truth. If I lied to you, Teacher, I will immediately reincarnate as Bao Wei's shoe insole."
Lin Li blinked fawningly at Xue Jian.
After hearing this, Xue Jian breathed a slight sigh of relief.
After all, if Lin Li and Bai Bufan were just doing this while wearing this outfit, it was actually okay.
From a very, very extreme perspective, they weren't even doing bad things, but assisting the school in managing students—to emphasize again, a very, very extreme perspective, so extreme that Xue Jian would never admit this perspective existed.
Xue Jian didn't think Lin Li was lying.
After all, he had his own understanding of the students in his class. Although this group of boys in the back row liked to torture people, they really wouldn't harm anyone.
One must never simply and broadly say they are bad people just because they are mischievous and hard to manage; that is very absurd. If people from other classes or schools said this about the students of Class 4, the first one to protect them would definitely be Xue Jian.
Because they aren't bad, and they aren't people either. The word "bad person" doesn't fit a single character, isn't that absurd?
"Are you sure no one discovered you?" After thinking for a moment, Xue Jian asked with a bad expression on his face.
"Sure, sure!"
This sentence was actually a signal. Lin Li and Bai Bufan's eyes lit up, and they immediately nodded heavily.
"When we handle things, you can rest assured, Teacher!"
"It's precisely because you handle things that I can't rest assured!"
"Phew—"
"Before the second dismissal this Friday, you two are to hand in a handwritten self-reflection of over 1000 words each."
Xue Jian first stated his punishment with a straight face, and then, without waiting for the two to accept or bargain, he waved his hand like he was shooing away flies:
"Now hurry up and go change back into your school uniforms, then go back to the playground."
Lin Li, Bai Bufan ovo: Hee hee, crisis averted!
"Got it!!"
"Go, go, go, hurry up." Xue Jian looked at the two with a headache and just said with disgust.
Restroom.
Lin Li and Bai Bufan carried the bags containing their school uniforms and pants, and each entered a stall to start changing clothes.
"Old Man Jian is actually pretty good to us."
Amidst the rustling sound of fabric rubbing, Bai Bufan's exclamation appeared.
After all, if their behavior were to be blown out of proportion, it could actually lead to a public criticism and disciplinary action, but in the end, it was just a painless self-reflection.
Sure enough, their homeroom teacher still cared about the students in his class.
"After all, he's Jianjian the big idiot."
