"You people, none of you wish me well, seriously I’ve made poor choices in friends, damn it!" Zhang Haoyang laughed and gritted his teeth, pointing at each of their faces with his index finger.

But once Zhang Haoyang saw Lin Li, Bai Bufan, and the others straighten up and look serious, he immediately turned his head. freēwebnovel.com

He realized it was indeed Xue Jian approaching with a dark expression, so he promptly turned around to sit properly and behaved himself.

"What are you yelling about, what are you yelling about, you’re the loudest group on the entire playground," Xue Jian said irritably.

"It’s not just us being loud..." Lin Li muttered softly in rebuttal, "Those two people are talking much louder than us, they’re constantly provoking us."

Xue Jian glanced in the direction Lin Li was pointing.

Those two were the hosts.

"You two, write a four-thousand-word self-critique."

Bai Bufan: TAT.

Lin Li grumbled about why his word count had been increased too.

"And Lin Li, move your chair to the front row." Xue Jian’s actions didn’t stop there.

"No need, teacher, I’ve decided to be ’someone who speaks little and behaves well,’" Lin Li awkwardly refused.

This time was different from the sports meet. At the sports meet, when he was pushed to the front row, Wang Ze as the sports committee member holding the class flag, and Chen Yu Ying as the class representative receiving the award accompanied him. Now being sent up meant he was completely alone, and it’s even hard to play on his phone in the front row.

"Stop it." Xue Jian was unmoved, "Move the chair and follow me."

Lin Li gritted his teeth: "The school leaders are not far from our class. If they’re close to me, I can’t guarantee what will happen. Teacher, you don’t want to lose your job, do you..."

Xue Jian smiled: "I do."

The more Xue Jian smiled, the more genuine it seemed: "I’d thank you if I could lose this position as Class Four’s homeroom teacher."

Lin Li: "..."

OK, Lin Li had no more tricks up his sleeve, obediently got up, bid farewell to everyone, and followed Xue Jian to sit in the front row of the class.

However, there’s a silver lining.

For instance, Chen Yu Ying, upon seeing Lin Li being sent to the front row, was even more eager to use the excuse of using the camera in the front as a reason to stand or squat beside Lin Li, chatting with him to kill time.

Incidentally, she listened firsthand to the detailed process of how Lin Li tormented people tonight.

The evening’s time slowly passed in their interaction. freēwēbnovel.com

...

It’s half-past eight, not many programs left before the end of the event.

After all, being conspicuous in the front row, the two didn’t have any overly intimate actions, at most Chen Yu Ying gently rested her head on Lin Li’s leg when squatting beside him, while Lin Li leaned against her waist when standing.

They were neither too close nor too far.

"What did you take pictures of?"

Chen Yu Ying took back the camera from Lin Li’s hands, looking at the photos he had just taken, either enlarged shots of the school leaders’ backs of heads or the enlarged shots of stage corners. Few were watchable, she scolded lightly.

In hindsight, she wouldn’t have given it to him during their banter.

"Don’t you think they’re very artistic?" Lin Li, who was actually just snapping random shots, asked in a serious manner.

"Pfft, I just think they’re very abstract."

Lin Li extended a finger and shook it: "Class monitor, you’re just uncultured. Back in the United States’ southern plantations, the photos I took, each of them, were truly abstract."

Chen Yu Ying: "..."

"What kind of abstract are you talking about..." Chen Yu Ying sighed, having her merits stolen again.

"Hehe."

"Thanks to the amazing performance by Grade Eleven, Class Three students! That youthful energy just filled us with warmth and strength this winter night!"

"Well said! A wonderful show always lights up our night with endless surprises. So, dear teachers and students, those were just the warm-ups for tonight’s program. Naturally, the most thrilling, eye-catching segment is about to come."

"Exactly! Just from the name, you can feel their confidence and ambition!"

"Where’s the applause?! With the most enthusiastic cheers and anticipation, let’s welcome the grand presentation by Grade Eleven, Class Twenty-Seven’s Zhang and Wang – ’The Headliner’! Please!"

The hosts’ alternating words brought Lin Li and Chen Yu Ying’s attention back again.

"So bold, naming the program ’The Headliner’ directly." Lin Li raised his eyebrows.

"And it’s the final act, maybe it’s really amazing." Chen Yu Ying smiled and nodded.

The stage lights instantly converged, leaving a solitary spotlight full of anticipation precisely aimed at the stage entrance.

Under the slightly expectant gaze of both, a performer appeared from the side of the stage.

Then.

"Oh crap, so heavy, so heavy, so heavy–" he hugged his head and thumped onto the stage.

Lin Li, Chen Yu Ying: "(;゜○゜)?"

Wait a minute.

What the heck kind of headliner is this?!

Even before Lin Li questioned how this program even passed the review, if Nansang Middle School still had hope, he realized.

This ’Headliner’ was akin to those ’actors’ performing without props, pretending to have ’a wall’ in front, or ’someone’ fighting over an object in their hands – a form of physical mime.

This person, along with the other performer who came on later, must have studied it. Using body movements, they vividly portrayed the posture of their heads being extremely heavy. At the student level, it was quite a splendid performance.
