102: Chapter 102 Sis, you're not here to check my homework, are you?

Su Yun stood by the third-floor window.

He hid the exam paper in his hand.

Su Yao held her Investigation Bureau identification in her hand.

The two stared at each other across half the playground.

At this moment, many images flashed through Su Yao's mind.

In the end, she only said one sentence.

"Come down."

Su Yun was silent for two seconds.

"Sis, I'm taking an exam."

Beside him, Li Hao immediately poked his head out.

"Sister Yao! His answers are all gibberish!"

Su Yun turned his head to look at him.

Li Hao shrank his neck.

"I'm just stating the facts."

Gu Lang sat in his seat, his expression stiff.

He knew Su Yao had arrived.

He also knew that the next few minutes might determine whether Linhai No. 2 High School could continue to exist.

So he decided to execute Captain Jiang's orders.

Do not provoke Su Yun.

Do not talk about The Rancher.

He had just stood up, preparing to say something to stabilize the situation.

Su Yun suddenly looked at him.

"Why did you stand up?"

Gu Lang paused.

Su Yun placed his English exam paper on the desk.

"Do you want me to look at your answers again?"

The whole class looked at Gu Lang in unison.

Gu Lang: "..."

The Homeroom Teacher knocked on the podium.

"Su Yun, your sister is looking for you, go out first."

Su Yun glanced at the exam paper.

He glanced at Su Yao downstairs again.

He let out a sigh of relief.

"Then I'm submitting my paper."

The Homeroom Teacher took the paper and scanned it.

Name: Su Yun.

Multiple-choice questions: All filled in.

Composition: Half a sentence written.

My dream is...

Nothing after that.

The Homeroom Teacher pushed up her glasses.

"Your dream is quite short."

Su Yun said earnestly: "Concentration is the essence."

The Homeroom Teacher: "Get out."

Su Yun picked up his paper and walked out.

Gu Lang immediately followed.

Su Yun turned back.

"What are you doing?"

Gu Lang was expressionless.

"Going to the restroom."

Su Yun nodded.

"Watch your diet."

The corridor fell silent instantly.

Several passing students turned their heads sharply.

Gu Lang's footsteps stopped.

He looked at Su Yun's back, his fists loosening and clenching.

Endure.

The lone wolf is not an orphan.

But the lone wolf can bear humiliation to carry out a heavy burden.

...

At the stairwell.

Su Yao was standing there.

She wasn't wearing her uniform, and there were raindrops and mud spots on her jacket.

Su Yun walked down the last step and tucked the exam paper behind his back.

"Sis, why are you here?"

Su Yao looked at him.

She stared for a full three seconds.

Su Yun felt a bit creeped out by the stare.

"You aren't here to check my homework, are you?"

Su Yao reached out.

"Give me the paper."

Su Yun took half a step back.

"That's not appropriate, is it?"

Su Yao: "Give it to me."

Su Yun sighed.

"Sis, even though our family has many secrets, when it comes to grades, we should still respect privacy."

Su Yao's eyelids twitched.

Secrets.

When these two words came out of Su Yun's mouth, Gu Lang's back stiffened immediately.

He stood two meters away, his hand already reaching for the emergency communicator in his pocket.

Then Su Yun added a sentence.

"Besides, even if I get a zero in foreign language, I can still rank in the top few..."

Su Yao: "..."

Su Yao didn't waste words with him.

She snatched the exam paper from behind Su Yun.

The movement was fast.

Su Yun tried to stop her but failed.

Gu Lang's pupils constricted.

It's happening.

Forcibly seizing the personal belongings of a Forbidden Existence.

In Strange Tales studies, this is usually equivalent to sticking your head into the crack of an abyss door and asking: "Is anyone home?"

The next second.

Su Yao looked down at the exam paper.

She fell silent.

Gu Lang saw it too.

More than half the multiple-choice questions were wrong.

It wasn't that he didn't know.

It was that he didn't know very evenly.

The four options A, B, C, and D were all chosen equally.

The composition only had half a sentence.

My dream is...

Nothing after that.

Su Yao looked up.

"Where is your dream?"

Su Yun thought about it.

"It was killed by the foreign language."

Su Yao: "..."

Gu Lang: "..."

At this moment, Gu Lang suddenly felt that Captain Jiang's judgment was correct.

Foreign language is indeed an anomaly trigger.

It can make an existence suspected of devouring a Half-King Grade Strange Tales lose its dream on the spot.

Su Yao held the exam paper.

She had originally planned to ask many questions.

Where did you go just now?

Was that thing in the East Sea you?

After the Slit-Mouthed Woman, what exactly did you become?

But all the words were stuck in her throat, and in the end, only one sentence remained.

"Where were you when the tsunami happened just now?"

Su Yun blinked.

"Buying bread."

Su Yao stared at him.

"Didn't you go to the restroom?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun instinctively looked at Gu Lang.

Gu Lang's expression stiffened.

Su Yun understood.

This kid tipped her off just now.

He suspected that he was the Lord of Idiocy.

And reported it to the higher-ups.

Su Yun withdrew his gaze, his expression unchanged.

"Sis, when people grow up, their routes can be a bit more complex."

Su Yao: "Speak human language."

Su Yun: "First went to the restroom, then bought bread."

Gu Lang immediately added: "There is no scent of you in the restroom."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted it.

The corridor fell silent instantly.

Su Yao slowly turned her head to look at him.

Su Yun also slowly turned his head to look at him.

Not far away, Li Hao poked half his face out from the classroom door.

"Brother Gu."

"You went to the restroom to sniff Brother Yun?"

Gu Lang closed his eyes.

Just destroy me.

Su Yun's expression was complex.

"Sis, you saw it, right?"

"My deskmate has been under a lot of mental stress lately."

Su Yao looked at Gu Lang.

"Why did you sniff him?"

Gu Lang's lips moved.

He couldn't say it.

Should he say he was a Quasi-S Grade bait, with the Sequence 033 Corpse-eating Dog sealed inside his body, using his sense of smell to confirm Su Yun's movement trajectory?

If he said that.

Su Yun wouldn't be exposed yet.

He would be invited for tea by the school counselor first.

Gu Lang said in a low voice: "Professional habit."

Li Hao was shocked: "Brother Gu, what profession were you in before?"

Su Yun said indifferently: "Don't ask, if you ask, it's sewer gourmet."

Gu Lang's fists tightened.

Su Yao's temple twitched.

Her emotions had already been pushed to the limit.

But these few sentences from Su Yun dragged her back from the shadows of the reservoir and the East Sea to the senior high corridor.

She looked at her younger brother in front of her.

His school uniform was wrinkled.

His hair was half-wet.

The exam paper was a mess.

His mouth was still so annoying.

If this was also a monster's disguise, then it was trying too hard.

Trying so hard that it didn't even spare English.

Su Yao pressed the exam paper down.

"In the future, if you encounter something like this again, find a safe place to hide immediately."

Su Yun nodded.

"Got it."

Su Yao looked at his calm demeanor, but her heart still felt heavy.

She suddenly asked: "Xiao Yun."

Su Yun looked up.

"Hmm?"

Su Yao said word by word: "Are you still you?"

The corridor fell silent instantly.

Gu Lang stopped breathing.

The few students eavesdropping at the classroom door also stopped making noise.

Su Yun looked at her, his expression somewhat baffled.

"Sis."

"With me scoring like this in English, do you think anyone else besides me could perform so consistently?"

Su Yao: "..."

Gu Lang: "..."

Li Hao, who was eavesdropping from afar, poked his head out and whispered a jab.

"Sister Yao, I can testify to this."

"Brother Yun's foreign language skills are purely trash."

Su Yun turned back.

"Say that again?"

Li Hao zipped back inside.

Su Yao stared at Su Yun.

She wanted to find some flaw on his face.

But Su Yun just hugged the exam paper, as if hugging evidence about to be publicly executed.

Very annoying.

Very real.

And very Su Yun.

Su Yao finally shoved the exam paper back into his arms.

"Go back to the exam."

Su Yun let out a sigh of relief.

"Sis, you really aren't here to check homework?"

Su Yao said coldly: "I am now."

Su Yun: "..."

Gu Lang: "..."

The lethality appeared.

More precise than a tsunami.

Su Yao stepped forward and lowered her voice.

"Finish the composition."

Su Yun was alert: "Now?"

"Now."

"Sis, the outside just experienced a Half-King Grade disaster."

"So you must cherish the opportunity to learn even more."

Su Yun was silent for two seconds.

"Your words are even stranger than Strange Tales."

Su Yao was expressionless.

"Also."

She looked at Gu Lang.

"You come with me."

Gu Lang's heart sank.

Su Yao was indeed going to question him alone.

He was just about to nod when Su Yun suddenly spoke.

"Sis, he can't leave."

Su Yao looked at him.

Gu Lang also looked at him.

Su Yun patted the exam paper.

"If he leaves, who will serve as my negative example?"

Gu Lang: "?"

Su Yun said earnestly: "Watching him get caught cheating will have a warning effect on me."

Gu Lang almost laughed in anger.

You reported me twice.

And you're using me for warning education?

Su Yao ignored this nonsense.

She looked at Su Yun.

"You care a lot about him?"

Gu Lang's heart tightened abruptly.

This was a probe.

She wasn't asking about the deskmate relationship.

She was asking if The Rancher cared about the bait.

Su Yun glanced at Gu Lang.

"I care."

Gu Lang's scalp tingled.

Su Yao's eyes also changed.

Su Yun continued: "He just transferred here and already corrupted our class atmosphere."

Gu Lang: "..."

Su Yun sighed.

"It's not easy to find a funny character like him."

Li Hao shouted in the classroom: "Brother Yun, his foreign language grades seem better than yours!"

Su Yun turned back: "Shut up, I haven't mentioned that you chose C for all your physics multiple-choice questions."

Li Hao: "I call that believing in the Doctrine of the Mean!"

The Homeroom Teacher couldn't stand it anymore and poked her head out of the classroom.

"You few, do you want me to set up a desk for you in the corridor?"

Su Yun immediately hugged the exam paper well.

"Teacher, I'll go back and accept the foreign language trial immediately."

The Homeroom Teacher looked at Su Yao, her tone softening a bit.

"Captain Su, this child Su Yun, his other grades are excellent, it's just that his English is indeed a bit... simple."

Su Yun: "Teacher, is 'simple' a compliment?"

The Homeroom Teacher: "It's my last bit of kindness towards you."

Su Yun: "..."

Su Yao suddenly asked: "Is he always like this?"

The Homeroom Teacher didn't hesitate.

"Always."

Li Hao poked his head out again.

"Sister Yao, Brother Yun is most like a normal person only during English class."

Su Yun turned his head: "Then I don't look like one usually?"

Li Hao thought about it.

"Usually, you look like my father from a different mother and father."

Su Yun: "Get lost."

Su Yao didn't speak.

But her hand holding the identification loosened a bit.

Gu Lang saw it.

This wasn't evidence.

But it was very effective.

Because what humans sometimes believe in is not logic.

It's a sense of familiarity.

Before Su Yun walked back into the classroom, he suddenly stopped.

He turned to look at Su Yao.

"Sis."

Su Yao looked up.

Su Yun tossed the bag of unfinished bread to her.

"Did you not eat?"

Su Yao caught it.

The bread was already a bit deformed from being squeezed.

There was a price tag from the canteen on the packaging.

It was two yuan more expensive than usual.

Su Yun added a sentence.

"Don't waste it."

"It's very expensive."

Su Yao looked at the bread in her hand.

After a few seconds, she said softly: "Hmm."

Su Yun waved his hand and returned to the classroom.

Gu Lang was about to follow him in.

Su Yao suddenly spoke.

"Gu Lang."

Gu Lang stopped.

"Captain Su."

Su Yao didn't look at him, just stared at Su Yun's back.

"I heard your report just now."

Gu Lang's Adam's apple moved.

"I was just proposing a possibility."

"I know."

Su Yao opened the bread bag and took a bite.

The bread was very dry.

She swallowed it, her voice calm.

"Continue to observe."

Gu Lang was stunned.

Su Yao looked at him.

"But if you dare to provoke him, or force him to have to prove what kind of thing he is."

"I will deal with you first."

Gu Lang: "..."

Very reasonable.

Sister logic.

Su Yao turned and left.

After walking two steps, she stopped again.

"Also."

Gu Lang stood straight.

"Don't let people know about sniffing scents in the restroom in the future."

Gu Lang's face darkened.

"Captain Su, that was a mission."

Su Yao: "Don't write it too detailed in the mission report either."

Gu Lang: "..."

He suddenly understood Executive Jiang Xu.

Some jobs are indeed like suicide notes.

In the classroom.

Su Yun sat back in his seat.

The Homeroom Teacher knocked on the blackboard.

"Continue the exam."

Su Yun looked down at the exam paper.

My dream is...

He stared at this half-sentence for two seconds.

Then he picked up his pen.

Gu Lang instinctively tilted his head.

He wanted to see what the dream of an existence suspected to be Forbidden really was.

The next second, he saw the second half of the sentence Su Yun wrote.

My dream is no English.

Gu Lang fell silent.

Then he felt a sense of awe.

This wasn't a composition.

This was a manifesto.

The Homeroom Teacher walked down and scanned it.

She also fell silent.

"Su Yun."

"Hmm?"

"Teacher also had this dream."

Su Yun looked up.

The Homeroom Teacher was expressionless.

"But I didn't realize it, so I became an English teacher."

Su Yun: "..."

The whole class was trembling from holding back laughter.

Gu Lang also almost laughed out loud.

But just then, the communicator in the Homeroom Teacher's pocket vibrated gently.

The Homeroom Teacher frowned, took it out, and glanced at it.

The next second.

She froze beside the podium.

Su Yun looked up: "Teacher, what's wrong?"

The Homeroom Teacher didn't speak.

She projected the notification from the communicator onto the classroom screen.

[Urgent Notification from the Daxia Ministry of Education: Following a joint assessment by High Command, the Investigation Bureau, and the Ministry of Education, in order to adapt to the needs of national defense security and talent cultivation in the new era, effective immediately, the foreign language subject is canceled for the Daxia College Entrance Examination.]

[Subsequent specific adjustment plans will be notified separately.]

The classroom was silent for three seconds.

Then—

"Holy crap!!!"

"Foreign language is gone?!"

"I don't have to memorize vocabulary anymore?!"

"Reading comprehension is dead! Composition is dead! Listening is dead!"

"What day is it today? This is a victory day in the history of Daxia education!"

The entire Senior Year Class 2 exploded instantly.

Someone slammed the table.

Someone clutched their head and cried.

Someone even held their English exam paper above their head on the spot, as if sending off a nemesis that had tormented them for many years.

Someone else laid directly on the desk and wailed.

"Dad! Mom! Your son has finally waited for this day!"

The Homeroom Teacher stood on the spot, her expression going from shock, to confusion, to emptiness.

She looked down at the English exam paper in her hand.

Then she looked at the cheering students throughout the classroom.

Finally, she slowly spat out two words.

"Damn it."

The whole class fell silent for a moment.

The Homeroom Teacher was expressionless.

"Unemployed."

The next second, the cheering grew louder.

Li Hao stood up abruptly, arms raised and shouting.

"Daxia is worthy of the name!"

"With Executive Jiang Xu in our Daxia, foreigners are all weaklings!"

"Who cares about learning foreign language!"

The whole class: "!!!"

"Brother Hao is awesome!"

"The perspective has broadened!"

"This is called national self-confidence!"

Gu Lang sat in his seat, completely stunned.

He stared at the notification on the screen, his mouth twitching wildly.

No.

He just reported the anomaly trigger to Captain Jiang just now.

He said to cancel foreign language to emphasize the danger.

He didn't mean for you to actually cancel it!

Gu Lang slowly turned his head to look at Su Yun, who was collecting exam papers as if nothing happened.

Su Yun's expression was calm, even carrying a faint hint of relief.

Gu Lang's mentality exploded.

"Damn it."

"I was just reporting."

"You actually canceled it?"

"Do you have to be so rash?"

He looked at the communicator and roared in grief and indignation.

"You guys just spoil him!"
