Chapter 144: Fatso's Inevitable Death (Second Update)
Bright red ribbons fluttering, the sound of firecrackers crackling, Jian'an No. 1 Middle School is holding its annual Teacher Appreciation Dinner, also a celebration dinner for the successful college entrance examination of the third-year high school students.
This is inside the school's large cafeteria, where all the small tables and chairs have been removed, replaced with large round tables and long rows of self-service buffet tables.
This is a feast for students!
Here is also the fruit of teachers' efforts!
Jian'an No. 1 Middle School is a provincial first-class school, founded since the Republic of China era, with a history of over 100 years, and many famous alumni at home and abroad. Therefore, every year, it receives a lot of donations from alumni and special funding from the Provincial Education Bureau, which enables it to hold such a grand Teacher Appreciation Dinner.
Very lively!
Today, there is no distinction between teachers and students, nor any formal restraint!
Talk freely about ideals, thank those who should be thanked, and laugh at those who bring happiness...
Round after round of toasts, conversation after conversation, gathering after gathering, emotions that had never been felt before, feelings that had never been experienced before, all burst out at this moment.
It wasn't until they were about to part ways that they realized how hard it was to let go.
It wasn't until I looked back and couldn't bear it anymore that I realized it was truly useless.
No matter what, this night's self-service dinner farewell party made many people understand a lot and clarify the reasons and problems that they had not thought of before.
It's either great laughter or bitter tears!
What's the difference anyway?
There are gaps and grudges, but haven't they been blown away by the wind yet?
Here, called Jian'an No. 1 Middle School, is where they buried three years of their most beautiful youth.
Here, called Jian'an No. 1 Middle School, is a place they used to disdain but now look back on with tears in their eyes.
Respect teachers, respect classmates, come and go, isn't it a pleasure?
Watching his classmates revel in their newfound freedom, Su Lin's face was a picture of unhappiness. As he walked through the crowds at the buffet, he occasionally glanced at his watch; it was already 6:30 PM. The "Clouds Come Again" concert by Yún Yīyī was scheduled to start at 7:30 PM sharp. His mother, Liu Aizhen, had told him to arrive at the school entrance at 7:00 PM to pick up their relatives and bring them in to watch the concert.
"Línzi, what's wrong with you? The college entrance exam is over, but you still look so worried and unhappy."
By Su Lin's side, Li Hao had a joyful face. This time's college entrance examination, needless to say, the score must be higher than the total score of his five mock exams in the third year of high school. A key first-class university is not something that can be escaped from, how could Li Hao not be happy? He was still waiting for the day when the results were released, and he would show off in front of his family, making Li Yan thoroughly ashamed.
However, pride is pride. Li Hao knew that the reason he could get good grades in this Gaokao was not because of his own efforts, but because he had been carried by his best friend Su Lin. Now seeing Su Lin's gloomy face, how could he not come over and show some concern?
"Huh? That's right...Haozi, Haozi. This time you have to help your brother out."
As soon as Su Lin saw Li Hao, a bad idea popped into her mind. She quickly pulled him over and said with a pitiful expression.
"When brothers are in trouble, I will definitely lend a helping hand. Even if it means going through fire and water, I won't hesitate."
Li Hao patted his chest and said with great righteousness. Now Li Hao is full of vigor, he even managed to scrape through the college entrance exam by any means possible, what's there to be afraid of?
"Haha! Haizi, I've been waiting for you to say that. When the time comes, don't say I didn't warn you, okay? This matter, it seems like you're the only one who can do it."
Su Lin patted Li Hao's sturdy shoulder and felt proud of having such a reliable sworn brother.
"What's there to be afraid of? Haven't you heard? Fatso will definitely die, either heavier than Mount Tai or heavier than other mountains. I, Fat Master, have survived the college entrance exams, so I don't believe anything can make me desperate to live and unable to die."
A true hero is one who dares to face a bleak life and gaze straight at the dripping blood.
For some reason, seeing Li Hao's fearless appearance, Su Lin suddenly remembered the classic phrase written by Lu Xun in "In Memory of Miss Liu Hezhen".
Looking at Li Hao's originally sturdy and robust body, Su Lin felt that it had become even more majestic now.
"It's not a big deal, really! It's just... I didn't expect my mom to be a fan of Yui Aragaki, even though she's a bit old-fashioned. So for tonight's concert, my mom insisted that I take her with me to watch it. But think about it, such a huge concert and I wanted to go with other classmates or girls! If my mom is by my side, how embarrassing would that be... But if I don't bring her in, she definitely won't be able to get in. And if I go to the school gate to pick her up, my mom will definitely not let me leave again."
Su Lin pretended to be wronged and deliberately omitted the fact that, apart from his mother, there were also several aunts, either five or six or ten or more.
"This is easy! Linzi, anyway Liu Ayi also knows me, you just go on a good date with your school flower Yanran, I'll go pick up Liu Ayi, and then tell her that you're busy helping the school build a stage... this way, isn't the problem solved? Anyway, Jian'an No. 1 Middle School is not that big, Liu Ayi is just coming to watch a concert, you be careful, when you're watching the concert with Yanran, just don't get caught by Liu Ayi."
Li Hao indeed had a sense of justice, and in one breath, he took on the task himself. Su Lin finally let out a sigh of relief, with a sly smile, patted Li Hao's shoulder, and praised: "Haozi, you're still so righteous. My mom said she'll be at the school gate at 7 o'clock, why don't you go wait for her now?"
"No problem! Linzi, be careful yourself and don't get hit by Aunt Liu!"
The concert is about to begin, and the dinner party is also coming to an end. Classmates have started to leave in twos and threes. The concert stage was set up on the main rostrum of Jian'an No. 1 Middle School's playground, so now everyone is rushing from the cafeteria to the playground.
Li Hao took over Su Lin's task and didn't think much of it. However, when he arrived at the school gate, he was stunned for a moment as soon as he spotted Liu Aizhen, Su Mu, wearing a bright red outfit in the crowd.
"Aunt Liu, here...here...Linzi has something on, so he asked me to come and pick you up instead..."
At the call, Liu Aizhen immediately saw Li Hao, a big fat man who took up a lot of space in the crowd. He was just complaining that his son Su Lin hadn't arrived yet, but now he saw that it was actually Li Hao who had come instead. Liu Aizhen didn't care about that, as long as she could get in to see her beloved Yun Yiyun's concert, it was all good.
