Chapter 24: So You’re Actually a Little Bad
The large screen continued to display names, but no one cared about the first place anymore.
The average score for an ordinary roll in school was 62. A slacker who entered as the second to last…
Three days’ time, question difficulty increased, yet the average score surprisingly didn’t change.
Is this reasonable?
The surrounding students looked over in unison. Mu Feng felt nothing but guilt.
“Mu Bao, are you clairvoyant?”
Jiang Yuan confirmed the ranking and score repeatedly. “These weren’t multiple-choice questions; you couldn’t even guess.”
“Exactly because they were all big questions, if you don’t know, you don’t know.” Zhou Tiantian also found it incredible. “Many big shots didn’t even pass. How did you do it?”
“Probably because… Teacher Liang taught well.” Mu Feng couldn’t find any other reason.
“But, I looked at your notes. Even if you memorized everything, you’d score forty or fifty at most. You didn’t look at predicted questions, surely he couldn’t predict this accurately.”
At this moment, Zhou Tiantian with an average of 38 and Jiang Yuan with an average of 40 looked at him blankly.
Mu Feng thought to himself, Because Teacher Liang couldn’t be bothered to predict questions, waiting for me to test last place.
Several students nearby who previously had decent grades also found it inconceivable. “Yeah, we only scored fifty-something.”
Mu Feng: “………”
Stabbed in the back. I thought you guys would score at least eighty or ninety.
The students ranked ahead of him did well, with the first place near full marks, but the rest were a pile of failures, not worth looking at.
Miscalculation. Pure miscalculation.
Mu Feng deeply felt that romance affected performance.
还没谈上呢 (Haven’t even started dating yet), just thinking about Liang Yuhang every day made his brain stupid. He actually made a score-control error for the first time.
“I don’t know either.” Mu Feng raised a hand to cover his eyes. “I memorized everything Teacher Liang told me to look at, and just wrote randomly in a daze.”
This explanation was extremely pale.
Seeing his pained face, Liang Yuhang spoke up to diffuse the situation. “Mu Feng is quite smart. He was just playful and didn’t put his heart into it before. A little guidance and he got it.”
“Mainly because our Dr. Liang predicts questions accurately.”
Lu Zhuo said, “You guys don’t know, he is Professor Zhang’s favorite student. Following the old man’s logic, it’s easy to guess.”
Once this was said, everyone believed it, expressing envy one after another.
“Sigh, my Junior Mentor only guessed one question right.”
“Heh, my Junior Mentor was so busy he only saw me once in three days. Who is more miserable than me?”
“Finding a Junior Mentor is like getting married; simply put, only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches.”
It instantly turned into a roast session.
“Damn, I’m envious. I knew it.” Zhou Tiantian looked mournful. “My life is so bitter. I want to die. My Junior Mentor doesn’t care about me at all!”
Jiang Yuan felt a bit of pity for this pitiable look. “No choice. Your luck is truly bad, meeting a dumbass.”
After speaking, he looked up at Liang Yuhang. “No intention to insult you. I’m purely criticizing your brother. You are still a bit better.”
Liang Yuhang said calmly, “Scold a few more times. I love hearing it.”
Jiang Yuan clicked his tongue twice. “Plastic brotherhood. Not as good as me and my brother.”
“That is indeed inferior,” Liang Yuhang said. “After all, I will never draw a bath for my brother in this lifetime.”
Jiang Yuan’s cheeks flushed red. He reached out to hit Lu Zhuo. “Why do you tell people everything!”
“Mentioned it during casual chat before the meeting.” Lu Zhuo didn’t dodge, letting him hit. “It’s not a big deal.”
Mu Feng had been in a bad mood, but he was amused. “You wouldn’t actually believe what I said about the ‘soaking in the bath reading memory method’, would you? You… believe even that?”
Jiang Yuan: “………I’m going to be angered to death by you guys!!!”
Mu Feng was still laughing. He felt his phone vibrate. He looked down, saw the caller ID, and his smile froze.
Didn’t want to answer. Felt disgusted.
Liang Yuhang turned his head and saw his micro-expression. “Mu Feng, come to my office for a moment.”
“No way, he tested 7th and you still want to scold him?” Jiang Yuan said fiercely. “You can’t do that.”
Liang Yuhang didn’t know why his image in Jiang Yuan’s heart was so bad. “No, just reviewing the exam paper.”
Hearing this, Zhou Tiantian was even sadder, mouth wide open. “Ah, other people’s Junior Mentor even has reviews!! I’m going to become a placenta!!”
Mu Feng held the vibrating phone, following behind Liang Yuhang, his expression heavy.
It hung up once, then rang again, simply like a hot potato.
“Mu Shan, your family?” Liang Yuhang saw the phone contact name.
“Mn, second brother.” Mu Feng lowered his eyelashes. “There’s also a third sister, Mu Shui.”
Liang Yuhang asked, “Big brother or big sister?”
Mu Feng’s face turned paler, his voice almost trembling. “Passed away.”
“Sorry.” Liang Yuhang reached out and took his phone. “This call, do you want to answer it?”
“I don’t.” Mu Feng closed his eyes. “But I can’t not answer, otherwise he’ll run to the base and scold me.”
Liang Yuhang felt his heart skip a beat.
The elevator doors opened. He took Mu Feng into the office and closed the door. “If you don’t mind me listening, answer it here.”
Mu Feng stood there without moving. He was afraid to let Liang Yuhang hear those unbearable insults; he would really have no self-esteem left.
“Then I’ll answer,” Liang Yuhang said. “I’ll handle it.”
Mu Feng looked up at him, a bit lost.
Liang Yuhang said, “He wouldn’t go so far as to scold me, right?”
Mu Feng nodded and handed the phone over, shaking nervously.
Liang Yuhang put it on speaker. Before he could speak, the other side started attacking with guns and sticks.
“Little brat, ran to the base and stopped acting, huh? I knew you, little bastard, were pretending with us. 7th place? What, are you preparing to move on the Mu family assets next? Someone like you should have died when you were thirteen!”
Mu Feng raised his hands to block his ears, as if he hadn’t heard anything.
“I am Liang Yuhang.” A straightforward self-introduction.
“Liang…” The other side was quiet for two seconds. “Colonel Liang?”
Liang Yuhang hummed in affirmation. “Is Mr. Mu Shan usually this cultured? I remember the Liang family has a production line cooperating with you. We can consider stopping it next quarter.”
“No, why is Mu Feng’s phone with you?” Mu Shan’s tone softened a lot. “I was scolding my brother. Made you laugh.”
“Mu Feng reviewed too tirelessly these past few days and fell asleep in my office. Your call is very noisy.”
Liang Yuhang spoke lightly. “His grade improvement is because I am teaching him. If you aren’t satisfied, you are welcome to complain to the military.”
Mu Shan was speechless. After a good while, he said, “Not dissatisfied.”
Liang Yuhang’s gaze rested on Mu Feng, his tone not very good.
“Next is the base’s closed training. To prevent distraction, I will confiscate his phone.”
“So if Mr. Mu Shan wants to find his brother next time, please contact me.”
“The military can find my communication number. Any more questions?”
Three consecutive sentences, each with stronger oppression than the last.
Mu Shan held back his anger. “No more. Colonel Liang, this little matter, no need to go back and chat with Director Liang, right? Next time I’m free, I’ll visit.”
Liang Yuhang didn’t speak and hung up directly.
He put the phone aside and saw Mu Feng still covering his ears, his gaze unfocused on the distance.
Looking like he was spacing out, unknown what was in his mind.
Liang Yuhang reached out, pulling the hands off his ears. The other shivered like a startled kitten.
“Finished talking.” Mu Feng pulled at the corner of his lip. “Sorry, letting you handle this kind of rotten matter.”
“In the past when he scolded you, did you plug your ears like this too?” Liang Yuhang asked.
He really couldn’t imagine what had happened to warrant such ugly scolding.
Liang Jingyi schemed for his heart, and the two just ended up never interacting until death.
Mu Feng shook his head. “I wear earplugs. At home, I always wear earplugs. The soundproofing is very good.”
He looked at the slight frown between the other’s brows. “Actually, sometimes I retaliate too. I have a good relationship with his horse; I successfully made him break his leg three times.”
When Liang Yuhang looked at those innocent eyes again, he tasted a different flavor.
Simple and harmless was his protective color.
“Then you’re quite bad,” Liang Yuhang said.
“Bad?” Mu Feng was very nervous, like sitting in a priest’s confessional. “I’ve done other bad things, even more serious.”
Liang Yuhang stopped scaring him; he’d cry in a moment. “Actually it’s fine. Knowing to fight back when bullied is smarter than I thought.”
Mu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, still remembering the previous agreement. “Last time you said, 80 points gets a reward, otherwise punishment. I didn’t reach it. Punish me.”
“Didn’t we say it was void?”
“But I want to.”
He desperately needed a way to perceive that someone still cared about him.
Mu Feng opened his mouth to request, “How about, you pinch me.”
This request was really a bit over the line.
If it were normal times, he definitely wouldn’t be able to say such things, but today he was probably agitated and spoke without thinking.
“No, I mean…” Mu Feng wanted to backtrack but couldn’t find a good substitute word.
Liang Yuhang stared at him for a few seconds, his slender fingers tightening around his neck.
Using a little force, he felt the other’s rapid breathing and the cheeks flushing red from lack of oxygen.
“Do you like candy, or punishment, Mu Feng? You can only choose one.”
