Chapter 154: Chapter 125: Sis, You’re Trying a Bit Too Hard
When He Zhiyu heard Zhuo Peipei say she was going to go demand an update, he couldn’t help but cringe.
’Being pestered for an update feels awful.’
Cheers from the senior-year grunts echoed all the way out of the classroom.
’They finally get a rare break. Of course they have to celebrate, right?’
Plus, this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival didn’t overlap with National Day, which was a genuine rarity.
If the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day had overlapped, they would’ve undoubtedly still only gotten a three-day break.
Which meant they scored an extra day off!
’Score.’
For the senior-year grunts, this was a major win.
Walking home, Shen Yuan felt his own steps become much lighter.
"Young Master Li, when is your family heading to your hometown?"
Li Zhi thought for a moment. "Probably in the morning. We’ll have lunch there, and then I’ll be free. My parents won’t be back until after dinner."
Shen Yuan nodded. "I’ll do the same, then."
Li Zhi’s lips twitched. "Girl, you’re trying a little too hard."
Shen Yuan shrugged nonchalantly. "What’s so hard to believe? We have an evening self-study session tomorrow night, so there’s no way I can go to my hometown then. Our families’ plans are bound to be similar. When I’m free, I might as well come hang out with you."
"Thanks, but I enjoy studying."
"Alright, then come study at my place while petting my cat."
Li Zhi pouted, but ultimately nodded. "Fine."
The two of them ambled their way home.
As soon as he got home, Shen Yuan was greeted by Ms. Zhang Yuyan. "Holiday’s started?"
Shen Yuan shook his head. "We skipped school. I brought Li Zhi with me."
His mom’s only response was an eye-roll.
"Stop spouting nonsense. As if you’d drag Li Zhi into skipping school."
"So you actually believe I skipped school?" Shen Yuan looked at his mom, incredulous.
"Get lost! Go to your room and do your homework! Just looking at you annoys me, you little brat."
"Hey, hey, hey! But my break just started!"
Zhang Yuyan was unmoved by Shen Yuan’s protest. "It’s only a break once your homework is done."
The happy smile on Shen Yuan’s face instantly vanished.
Back in his room, Shen Yuan took out his homework.
His next step was to immediately open the "Homework Alliance" QQ group chat.
Quite a few assignments had already been posted in the group. All Shen Yuan had to do was start copying.
But even though he was copying, Shen Yuan didn’t plan to copy everything.
He would definitely do the math himself.
The homework was mostly material from the first round of review, which Shen Yuan needed to consolidate.
In addition to that, there was the physics homework.
Shen Yuan had already done a lot of the physics materials Tong Churou had given him.
The chemistry homework was still within Shen Yuan’s comfort zone, so he chose to copy that as well.
As for subjects like Chinese and Biology, Shen Yuan started copying right away.
’No excuses needed.’
After all that, the only assignments Shen Yuan still needed to do himself were Physics and Math.
’Finish copying first, think later.’
The Chinese and Biology homework involved way too much writing; it was better to copy it first and get it over with.
And so, Shen Yuan dove headfirst into his homework.
Aside from coming out once for dinner, Shen Yuan didn’t leave his room.
During that time, his mom only came in once to drop off some fruit.
By the time Shen Yuan finished his math homework, it was already past 8:00 p.m.
Deciding to take a short break, Shen Yuan picked up his phone.
’Let’s see if Ah Jie uploaded the homework. I’ll check the answers against his.’
However, when Shen Yuan opened the "Homework Alliance" QQ group, he found that everyone was already verbally lynching Ah Jie.
Chen Mingyu: "That dumbass Zhou Shaojie, he’s dead meat at evening study tomorrow!"
Yang Ze: "Damn it, doing the math tomorrow? I could copy literally anyone else’s homework during evening study tomorrow, but I had to be stuck waiting for yours?!"
Sun Xiansheng: "Fucking tool. Tomorrow, we’re grinding his dick flat!"
Yang Shuai: "I don’t really know why I’m here, but Zhou Shaojie must die!"
Lou Jiawei: "I’ll tell Yu Yue to put his English homework on top of the pile."
Reading this, Shen Yuan sucked in a sharp breath.
’What a vicious scheme.’
After spending so much time with Eldest Female Cousin, Class 15 had pretty much figured out her habits when it came to checking homework.
In short, putting Ah Jie’s English homework on top would definitely trigger Eldest Female Cousin’s "well, I’ve got nothing better to do" mentality, prompting her to flip it open.
As for the cause of all this, it was just as Yang Ze had said.
Ah Jie hadn’t done the math.
He’d gone off to play video games, saying he’d do it tomorrow morning.
’To hell with "doing it tomorrow morning." What was the difference between copying it then and waiting until the evening study session?’ freewebnoveℓ.com
Either way, Ah Jie was a dead man.
Shen Yuan glanced at Ah Jie’s last message, which had been sent half an hour ago.
Zhou Shaojie: "I’m on it, I’m on it! My bad, my bad, Godfathers! Just give me an hour, only an hour."
Seeing Ah Jie’s message, an evil smile spread across Shen Yuan’s face.
He picked up his phone, aimed it at his math test paper, and after a flurry of shutter sounds, sent the photos to the group chat.
Shen Yuan: "I’m done. Copy away, but I can’t guarantee it’s all correct. @All"
The moment Shen Yuan sent the message, several people in the group immediately popped up.
Chen Mingyu: "[Fist Clasp][Fist Clasp][Fist Clasp] Now that’s what I call a fucking bro! Zhou Shaojie? Just a stray dog!"
Yang Ze: "Godfather! This is a true Godfather!"
Lou Jiawei: "Oh my god, what am I seeing? The math homework! Godfather!!"
Sun Xiansheng: "Since you’re all done praising him, I’ll just say: Zhou Shaojie must die."
Yang Shuai: "I don’t really know why I’m here, but Zhou Shaojie must die!"
Zhou Shaojie: "?"
Chen Mingyu: "@Zhou Shaojie, you’re dead tomorrow. You’d better wear a chastity belt, or I’ll grind you flat."
Shen Yuan: "That’s a bit over the top, but count me in."
