SB-chapter 10

While everyone was on guard, Wang Yibo casually said, “I want to sit with my benefactor.”

Xuan Lu felt a rush of blood surging up her head. “Who do you want to sit with?”

Everyone gazed at Wang Yibo, even Xiao Zhan with a look of confusion.

“With Xiao Zhan.” Wang Yibo said as if this was a matter of fact. “I want to sit next to him, so we can help each other in the future.”

Help each other, pfft. Xuan Lu helplessly laughed. “If you want to sit next to Xiao Zhan, sure. It depends on your abilities.”

This was basically a rejection. Xuan Lu turned around and walked back to the front.

A second later, Wang Yibo stood up, causing the chair to screech.

Peng Chuyue suddenly felt a numbness on his scalp and the stiffening of his muscles.

Xuan Lu had seen this too and was worried that Wang Yibo might stir up trouble again. “Wang Yibo, what are you doing? Return to your seat.”

If Wang Yibo listened to the teacher’s words, his name wouldn’t be Wang Yibo anymore.

He walked to Peng Chuyue and said in a friendly tone, “I want to change seats with you, but Teacher Lu wants me to do so with my own abilities. See, how about the two of us…go outside and spar?”

Xuan Lu was speechless.

Peng Chuyue grabbed his book and said, “No, no, no need. I, I will change seats with you.”

Xiao Zhan swallowed his saliva and subconsciously moved his books towards the wall.

Peng Chuyue started to pack his books while Wang Yibo stood politely by the side, waiting.

Seungyoun who sat behind started to clap his hands and caused a disturbance. He even gave Wang Yibo a thumbs up while Zhou Yixuan whistled and said, “Brother Wang, nice!”

Xuan Lu saw stars and her face was red from anger.

But she didn’t have the ability to force Wang Yibo to sit in his seat. After all, they weren’t kids in kindergarten and these students would even dare to beat teachers up if they were angered.

She pondered over this and believed that she must resolve the issue in a gentle manner.

She softened her voice and said, “Wang Yibo, you know that’s not what I meant. If you want to sit next to Xiao Zhan, get second place in next month’s exams. That way, you can replace Peng Chuyue, right? Now that everyone already picked their seats, do you think it’s suitable for you to do this?”

Wang Yibo pinched his earlobes, clearly not taking her words to heart. He lazily said, “What’s not suitable about this? Does Classmate Peng have any objections?”

Peng Chuyue clearly has objections! But so what?! Does he dare to mention it?!!

He thought that he was being a coward in front of Wang Yibo but after considering a possible beating from him, he’d rather be taken as a coward.

At this time, Xiao Zhan pressed his hand on Peng Chuyue’s book and Wang Yibo caught this action from the corner of his eye. He slightly stood up straight and heard Xiao Zhan say, “It isn’t suitable.”

Wang Yibo squinted his eyes and everyone in the class strained their ears to listen to the conversation.

Xiao Zhan was quite courageous. He said what the teacher doesn’t even dare to say and they all think Xiao Zhan was looking for a beating.

After all, would Wang Yibo let him go for putting him in a difficult situation?

Students sitting in the front and back three rows all moved their seats and desks in unison, preventing Wang Yibo from implicating them in case he becomes crazy.

Even Xuan Lu had walked to the alarm. The moment Wang Yibo decides to beat Xiao Zhan, she will immediately call the guards over. In addition, after this, she will definitely kick Wang Yibo out of the elite class.

Not only was Wang Yibo not angry, he even asked in seriousness, “How come it’s not suitable?”

The palm of Xiao Zhan’s hands had become sweaty and he met Wang Yibo’s gaze, murmuring, “Peng Chuyue has bad vision and if he sits in the back, he may not be able to see the blackboard…if you want to sit next to me, how about I change seats with your desk-mate?”

Wang Yibo’s desk-mate was Li Wenhan who remained expressionless when he was called and he propped his chin up, acting as if he was watching a show.

Wang Yibo placed his hand down from his ears and stared at Xiao Zhan for a while.

This was a reasonable explanation, but everyone believed that Wang Yibo wouldn’t agree. After all, there was something wrong with his brain and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn’t stir up trouble for a day.

“Then fine, I won’t change my seat.”

Once he said this, not only did everyone not relax, they became even more anxious.

They all thought that Xiao Zhan would’ve been beaten up today, even Xiao Zhan himself.

Then, Wang Yibo walked back to his seat while Xiao Zhan looked nervously at him. He really didn’t mention changing his seat anymore and he even took out his English textbook, acting as if he was going to listen in class.

Xuan Lu withdrew her hand which was about to press the alarm and all the students turned back around.

Xiao Zhan was slow and realized later on that the conflict was resolved.

On the other hand, Peng Chuyue grabbed onto his arms and thanked him several times, shedding tears of gratitude. His eyes even turned red.

Right now, their seating arrangement was:

Window: Xiao Zhan * Peng Chuyue.

Wall: Student A * Student B.

Window: Wang Yibo * Li Wenhan * Zhou Yixuan * Seungyoun.

Xiao Zhan started to pay attention in class when he heard movements from behind.

Wang Yibo harshly pushed a guy’s head and the latter was confused.

They asked weakly, “Brother, Brother Wang, what’s the matter?”

“You’re blocking my view of the blackboard.”

Li Wenhan turned around to look at him and snorted.

The blackboard is towards the window?

But the guy in front still placed his head down quietly.

Li Wenhan didn’t like to talk in class, so he passed Wang Yibo a note. “How come you wouldn’t let me switch seats with Xiao Zhan?”

Wang Yibo looked at the note and replied, “Aren’t you embarrassed to sit in the front with that height of yours?”

Li Wenhan thought: How come you’re not embarrassed to change seats with Peng Chuyue?

He glanced around before writing: Should we teach Xiao Zhan a lesson for infuriating you today?

Wang Yibo glanced at it and crumbled the paper, aiming his face. He said harshly, “F*ck you.”

Li Wenhan chuckled out loud right then, his shoulders shaking.

After English class was over, everyone received their homework.

Wang Yibo stared at it and then tugged his earlobes again, tugging at the guy in front again. “Change seats.”

He boldly and decisively sat in front.

Xiao Zhan was doing his homework in seriousness, not hearing the movements in the back at all, until he was poked. He turned around to see Wang Yibo’s smiling face.

“Once you’re done, give me your homework, so I can copy off you tonight.”

Xiao Zhan nodded hesitatingly. “I’ll give it to you once I’m done.”

Li Wenhan sat behind him, by his side. He asked, “Brother Wang, you can see the blackboard from behind Xiao Zhan?”

“Scram.”

Whether he could see the blackboard or not, it was unclear. But, he could clearly see the person of his interest. Wang Yibo propped his chin and stared at Xiao Zhan, in a great mood.

Xiao Zhan had neat and legible handwriting when it comes to English. This made Wang Yibo enjoy copying his homework as well.

While he copied, he would glance at Xiao Zhan, the corner of his lips curling up subconsciously.

Xiao Zhan was originally worried that Wang Yibo might influence him by sitting in the back. But unexpectedly, Wang Yibo kept quiet and whenever he poked him, it was during breaks. He never bothered him once in class.

Xiao Zhan sighed in relief.

He finished doing the math work and turned around to give this to Wang Yibo, when the latter said, “What are my chances of going from last to second place?”

The nearby classmates who heard this almost chuckled out loud.

Even Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but grin. He thought this was disrespectful, so he pursed his lips and encouraged, “As long as you try, 100% you can do so.”

Wang Yibo nodded and looked at Peng Chuyue with a provoking look.

Even though Peng Chuyue received his gaze, he didn’t place it in his heart. After all, Wang Yibo wants to rise to second place with his grade? What a joke.

Li Wenhan told this to Seungyoun and Zhou Yixuan; the two laughed arrogantly.

“If you’re able to score second next month, I’ll give you my head!”

After saying this, Seungyoun thought this wasn’t enough and immediately went to the school forum page. He initiated a poll and the title was:

I heard that Wang Yibo decided to scores second on the exam next month in order to become desk-mates with his benefactor. What do you guys think?

Option 1: Wang Yibo? Impossible!

Option 2: One can’t be sure, so I’ll support him for now.

Maybe it was because this matter was too unbelievable and implausible, it had gotten tens of thousands of clicks in one night.

There were thousands of votes and 98% voted for the first option.

After everyone voted, they didn’t forget to leave anonymous comments, ridiculing Wang Yibo.

Anonymous user: If it’s based on grades, Wang Yibo won’t be able to sit next to Xiao Zhan forever.

Anonymous user: Hahaha, this is the best joke I’ve heard this whole year!

Anonymous user: Wang Yibo! I support you! You’re first in fighting and second in learning! (Sorry, I can’t help but laugh at this statement).

Anonymous user: Fighting is all about punches. Whenever one hits, wherever it hurts. Could he be viewing testing as fighting? Does he think that as long as he doesn’t hand in a blank test, he can just fill in the blanks however he wants?

Anonymous user: Attention, attention! Wang Yibo’s becoming a good student! Ready, set, laugh!

Dancing Flowers: Hahahah.

Anonymous user: Person above, you’re exposed! Pray that Wang Yibo doesn’t see your username and beat you up!

When Seungyoun scrolled through the forum in the middle of the night, he rolled around in his bed gasping in laughter.

The post was gaining more and more popularity as well as comments, but only one comment had a few replies.

Anonymous user: It seems like Wang Yibo had moved to this city during the second year of high school. Maybe his grades are actually good? When the time comes, you guys will receive slaps to your faces.

Reply: Don’t mention how bad his grades are because of his personality, even if he had good friends, he hadn’t looked through a textbook for a few years already. Yet he wants to score second place?

Reply: There’s actually someone who likes a bully like Wang Yibo? Why don’t you familiarize yourself with the saying: get rid of the evil?

The originally quiet and peaceful school forum obtained many people’s attention because of this. Everyone was gossiping about this during their breaks and lunch.

But, Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo both didn’t know.

Xiao Zhan noticed that Wang Yibo started to take his studies seriously as he would ask him questions from time to time.

In class, he was even eager to participate and when he first raised his hand to answer a question, the teacher even shivered, thinking he was trying to cause trouble.

Xuan Lu was very shocked by this and hurried over to call Xiao Zhan to ask, “What’s the matter with Wang Yibo lately?”

Xiao Zhan’s eyes brightened and said, “Lately, he has been devoting a lot of time to studying and even asks me many questions every day. When I was explaining the answer, he even listens seriously. He was able to comprehend a lot of the math questions and go as far as applying this concept to answering other questions.”

“Really?” Xuan Lu asked, “He didn’t persuade you to get into fights or anything?”

Xiao Zhan immediately shook his head. “Of course not.”

Xiao Zhan was quite gratified. Wang Yibo treats his brothers very well and even listens to them. In class, he would be well-behaved and wouldn’t disturb him about anything, not annoying him to get answers to homework.

He would do homework by himself and only ask him questions when he didn’t understand anything. Xiao Zhan wanted to thank the heavens for his changed attitude.

Xuan Lu knew that he doesn’t lie, so she softly nodded and let him go.

Xiao Zhan walked out of the office and saw an annoyed Wang Yibo.

“Why’d she ask for you again?”

“Maybe she wants to hear me compliment you.”

Since his attitude has gotten better, Xiao Zhan felt more relaxed. He followed Wang Yibo’s footsteps and the latter’s expression became happier.

Yibo curled his lips and asked, “You complimented me?”

“I did, I complimented you in seriousness.”

Wang Yibo was in a great mood and placed his arm over Xiao Zhan’s shoulders again. He was immediately tucked in his arms, creating a thump.

Xiao Zhan immediately pushed him and knitted his eyebrows, asking, “How come you can’t change this habit? Don’t hug me like this.”

“Since we’re already in a relationship, why are you still so shy?”

“???” Xiao Zhan felt that his words were strange. He reached over to pry Wang Yibo’s arm. “I’m uncomfortable like this.”

Wang Yibo casually placed his arm down and instead placed his arm around Xiao Zhan’s waist.

Xiao Zhan’s face unexpectedly met Wang Yibo’s chest again, his eyes slightly widening at the sight.

“Let’s talk about something.”

“What?”

Wang Yibo stared at his detailed eyebrows and softly said, “Come to my house to do homework tonight, so you can also tutor me.”
