In terms of strength, Datou Xing was already weaker than Luo Yang, not to mention his lack of practical experience and skills, which quickly led to Luo Yang knocking him to the ground.
Wu Guangde and his gang had been frightened by the beating and had become timid, not even gathering the courage to return to their normal level, fearing they might provoke further trouble, so they stood by as spectators, not daring to intervene.
"Got bolder, eh?"
Luo Yang walked up to Wu Guangde, and with a raise of his hand, a couple of sharp slaps landed on Wu's cheeks.
"This has nothing to do with me." Wu Guangde put on an innocent look.
"Get lost!"
Not having time to deal with others, Wu Guangde scurried away with his tail between his legs, as if he'd been granted amnesty.
"Apologize to us and buy two packs of cigarettes for us," Luo Yang demanded.
At first, Datou Xing was unwilling, but when Xiao Daniu glared fiercely with his eyes wide and fists swinging, he softened, bought two packs of Red Double Happiness cigarettes, a bag of bread, two bottles of Coca-Cola, and spent money to avert disaster, earning his release.
After sitting in front of the shop for a while, Luo Yang and Xiao Daniu returned to the dormitory.
Before reaching the dormitory door, they heard Wu Guangde and his gang playing poker inside.
Upon seeing Luo Yang enter, Wu Guangde and the others suddenly became silent, each sitting in alarm, and not daring to breathe loudly.
"Bear, come out!" Luo Yang stood at the doorway, waving his hand.
Wu Guangde slowly walked out of the dormitory and came to Luo Yang's side.
"You'll write that pledge for me, and it needs to be done before class this afternoon. Did you hear me clearly?"
"Haha, you've got to write mine too!"
"Hey, what are you standing there for? Haven't you written it yet?"
After giving his orders and finishing his cigarette, Luo Yang went to bed to sleep.
In his sleep, he vaguely heard the school's loudspeakers start playing the wake-up music, followed by the jingling of the wake-up bell. After it rang for a while, he then heard footsteps gradually leaving the dormitory.
Before long, the dormitory was quiet again. Luo Yang and Xiao Daniu didn't get up and continued to sleep soundly.
After an indeterminate amount of time, he felt someone gently tapping his arm. Luo Yang hated being disturbed in his sleep and, without opening his eyes and judging by the direction, he grabbed a hand.
It wasn't Xiao Daniu's hand.
Out of curiosity, he slightly opened one eye, ready to rebuke the person bothering him.
Seeing Teacher Su standing in front of the bed, Luo Yang's eyes suddenly widened with a smile, "Teacher Su, what brings you here?"
Before he finished speaking, he let go of the hand and hurriedly turned to get out of bed.
Teacher Su said softly, "You've just promised me at noon that you will study hard, and now look at you, you and Xiao Daniu are sleeping in late in the dormitory. How can this be okay?"
In both first and second grade, it was common to sleep in the dormitory without any teacher coming to hasten them to class.
As Luo Yang was putting on his T-shirt, he said, "Teacher Su, I overslept today, but I promise it won't happen again."
"You are capable of overcoming yourself. Keep it up."
After a word of encouragement, Teacher Su left the dormitory and went downstairs to the classroom.
Luo Yang got out of bed, woke Xiao Daniu, and after washing up, the two sneaked over to the classroom and entered through the back door.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Luo Yang calmly walked to his seat and sat down.
Teacher Su sat at the lecture podium, saying, "Now that everyone is here, let's have a brief class meeting."
"A new school year has begun, and I am fortunate to be your homeroom teacher. Let me introduce myself first: my name is Suyun, like the 'cloud' in 'white cloud.' I hope to construct an advanced and civilized class together with you all in this new semester."
"Do you all have confidence in achieving the title of an advanced and civilized class?"
The whole class answered in unison, "Yes."
Teacher Su continued, "I believe that as long as we work together, we can make it happen. Let's give it our best shot."
"Next, we've got two things to do. The first is to elect class monitors; the second is to arrange seating."
"Since we have reorganized classes, most of you don't know each other yet, so it might be difficult to choose class monitors. I will choose temporary class monitors for now, and after the midterm exams, you can elect the class monitors that you think fit the role. Please stand up when I call your name."
"Temporary class president, Hong Jiaxin."
Hong Jiaxin stood up and then sat down.
...
...
"Temporary discipline committee member, Zeng Xiaomei."
Zeng Xiaomei stood up, immediately provoking a round of giggling from the class.
She was known as Xiaomei, yet she was tall, about one meter seventy, with a waist as wide as a barrel, a well-known plump girl in third grade, nicknamed Concubine Yang.
Zeng Xiaomei's deskmate was none other than Hong Jiaxin.
"Hello everyone, I am Zeng Xiaomei."
Her voice was as loud and resonant as her physique.
The students burst into another round of laughter, but quieted down when Teacher Su made a quieting gesture.
...
...
"The dormitory leader for the boys in dormitory 305, Chen Linsheng."
Chen Linsheng stood up. He wore glasses and was skinny and frail. A gust of wind seemed like it could blow him away.
...
...
After the appearance of the temporary class monitors, Teacher Su continued, "Next, we'll arrange the seating. The boys will line up by height in a single file, and the girls will do the same. After the seats are arranged, you can then take your belongings."
