Chapter 001: The Female Ghost

  For a drunk person everything is an illusion except if you are sober.

  Yang Hua was indeed drunk yesterday and felt that everything else apart from drinking with Zhang Chong was just a dream.

  He even remembered that he had met a woman in his dream, but what exactly did they do with this woman? What words were spoken, yet not a single word could be recalled.

  The inadequacy of dreams lies in this: often when you rack your brains to think, you can't think of anything, so Yang Hua felt that he had just had a spring dream.

  The next day, Yang Hua woke up with a head that felt twice as heavy as usual and slowly made his way to the teacher.

  Those beautiful girls in short skirts are also too busy to look at now, because headaches are really painful, this is the truth summarized by Yang Hua.

  When I arrived at the classroom, my best friends and classmates were still there, chatting and laughing with each other, of course, also studying. However, it was like a fleeting shadow, very few in number.

  "Yang Erjin, you're here?" A boy with a flat head sitting on his desk greeted Yang Hua who had just entered the classroom with a smile.

  Next to him was Zhang Chong, who was also lying on the table at this moment, and he must have had a lot to drink yesterday. Today, he didn't look too good either.

  "Hua Zi, I heard you got drunk last night?" Qin Pei said with a smile on the side, wearing a pair of glasses and pretending to be elegant.

  Yang Hua ignored them and walked straight to his seat, rubbing his temples which still hurt a bit, and said: "Brothers are getting old, heroes are not as brave as they used to be, it's no good, it's no good."

  Several people burst out laughing together there.

  "Bullshit, I heard from Zhang Chong that you drank 3 bottles of wine and passed out yesterday."

  Li Jianbian, carrying a flat head, said as he used his hand to fight back at Zhang Chong, who was still crouching there.

  "Zhang Chong, right? This kid is all talk and claims he can drink two jin?"

  "Believe it or not, I'm not going to argue with you guys. I need a rest." Yang Hua said and then suddenly fell onto the table, like a dead pig, no longer paying attention to them.

  A few guys behind him burst out laughing.

  At this moment, no one noticed that in the front row, a girl with her hair lightly tied up and a naturally small face slightly furrowed her brow, then lowered her head to look at the thick textbook in front of her.

  Yang Hua, who was lying on his desk, didn't know what to do at this time. He felt extremely uncomfortable lying down, as if someone was staring at him with their eyes open beside him. He lifted his head and looked around the classroom. His classmates were either playing or sleeping, and no one was paying attention to him. He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and then he lay back down again.

  The first two classes were self-study, and during the third class, Class Director Li Si came.

  Li Si is widely regarded by his classmates as the most shameless sex wolf. It is said that Li Si was almost expelled a few years ago for having an affair with a student, but fortunately, he has a wealthy family and a glib tongue, so the matter was dropped. However, this guy has not shown any sign of remorse, instead, he still acts like Tian Boguang, the legendary flower thief.

  School flower Xie Yuting has been harassed many times.

  Li Si wears glasses, in a word, he is a cultured beast.

  At this moment, he still had that forever dazed and confused look in his eyes. First, he was sitting in the front row, next to the most beautiful Xie Yuting, who glanced at him with a pair of captivating white rabbit-like breasts bulging out from under her pink T-shirt, and a pair of slender white legs wrapped tightly in black skinny jeans. Her delicate hands were propping up her exquisite face, completely unfazed by his lecherous gaze, like an ice goddess on a mountain.

  The whole class saw Li Si coming and quickly said goodbye to Zhou Gong. They stood with a half-asleep, half-awake posture, staring at Li Si.

  "Sleeping again?" Li Si muttered.

  "Classmates, this is not the time to sleep. Life is short, only a hundred years, minus sleeping time, and the time you're awake is only about 50 years. If you add in afternoon naps and evening rest, that's another 10 years gone. That means you only have 40 years of being truly alive. And if during those 40 years, you waste more time sleeping in class, dozing off during lectures... then you'll lose another 10 years. In the end, you'll only have 30 years of truly living in this world. Classmates, are you willing to only live for 30 years?" Li Si is indeed a top-notch student from the Chinese department, his eloquence is absolutely first-rate.

  All the classmates unanimously replied: "Unwilling."

  Li Si believed in his eloquence, just like Yang Hua believed that one day he would find a beautiful woman. At this moment, he wore a victorious smile and said: "Do you classmates still want to sleep?"

  All the classmates said in unison: "Will do."

  Li Si couldn't help but pause for a moment, then shook his head with a sigh and said: "Alas, you guys are indeed hopeless."

  A burst of laughter echoed through the classroom.

  "Classmates, don't laugh anymore. Laughing at me is fine, but if you're laughing at yourself, that's just degrading your own dignity." This guy is indeed very clever and immediately adapts to the situation.

  A group of people, no matter how foolish they were, would not mock themselves, so they all shut their mouths. Although they harbored resentment in their hearts, they ultimately had to admire his eloquence.

  "Dear class teacher, if I'm not mistaken, isn't this period supposed to be self-study? Why have you come?" said Yang Mei with a big mouth.

  Yang Mei's name has the word "beautiful" in it, but her appearance is really not worthy of praise. Her mouth is as big as that of a Bi Ke cow demon king, and her nose is even more abstract. Classmates all say that if she were born 20 years earlier, when they were filming Journey to the West, they wouldn't have needed to use makeup on the monsters, they could have just used her instead.

  Only to see Li Si slowly turn his head, smiling faintly at Yang Mei, Yang Mei suddenly felt a little flutter in her heart, as if she felt that he was flirting with her, and if it weren't for the classroom, she would probably be playing coquettishly.

  Although this guy is a lecher, he hasn't gone blind yet. He quickly turned his head back to face the others and said: "Where there's a cause, there's an effect. Since I didn't dare come but came anyway, there must be a reason for my coming."

  The classroom was filled with whispers.

  "Teacher, please, we all admire your eloquence to the point of being speechless. We're convinced and impressed, so please don't say such profound words anymore, or else we'll have to bring dictionaries." The classmates chimed in, teasing him.

  Li Si felt embarrassed and blushed for a moment, but it was just an instant thing.

  "I see, I understand."

  "Classmates, I came over today to tell you that the results of the school-wide free-topic essay contest we held last time have been announced." Li Si said with a smile.

  The classroom immediately fell silent, so that's how it was, everyone sat in their seats like deflated balloons.

  It turned out that the school had organized this free-topic writing competition to improve students' writing skills last time. The articles could be essays, prose, random notes, poems, etc. In short, as long as they were written in Chinese characters, it was okay, and whether they were good or not depended on the judges.

  And Li Si is one of them.

  Only Yang Mei was the first to shout out loud, with her mouth open to an extent that exceeded normal people's imagination: "Is there anyone in our class who didn't win an award in this competition?"

  Although all the students in the class were indifferent to this literary competition, everyone had a little vanity in their hearts. They all stared at Li Si with wide eyes.

  Li Si smiled slightly, as cunning as a big grey wolf meeting a little white rabbit.

  "Our class?" This guy is really good at teasing people, and he suddenly stopped talking halfway through the conversation.

  "How is it?" Some people couldn't help but ask.

  "Yes!" Li Si said with a proud smile on his face. After all, he was the leader of this class, and as the saying goes, "a snake without a head cannot move".

  "Wow."

  Li Si heard again and said loudly: "Not only did our class win the prize, but also got the first place in our class."

  Astonishment filled the classroom, and people thought to themselves, "Who has such great writing skills?" This wasn't expected at all. Could it be that Li Si himself wrote the award-winning article and came here to show off?

  "Who is it?" Yang Mei asked first.

  Classmates also stared at the class teacher's mouth with wide eyes, hoping to see this talent.

  "Hey, wake up, I'm telling you, don't sleep anymore, Beast (Head Teacher Li Si) is here, are you still sleeping?"

  Li Jian slapped Yang Hua, who was still lying on the table.

  Yang Hua slowly raised his head and glanced at Li Si on the podium: "None of my business." Then he continued to lie down on his desk as usual.

  Li Jian didn't bother with him again and instead stared at their class teacher's mouth along with others.

  Li Si slowly said: "Our classmate only used nearly 60 words to get the first place in this school-wide competition."

  "What? So amazing?" The classmates were amazed.

  "Who is it?" everyone asked together.

  Even Xie Yuting, who was known as the beauty of ice and snow, opened a pair of autumnal eyes staring at his mouth, waiting for him to say this talent.

  "Xiao Ting, is that you? In our class, apart from your writing skills, who else can compare to you?" said Yang Yan, looking at Xie Yuting, who was resting her chin on a pair of delicate hands as white as jade scallions.

  Xie Yuting gently shook her head, she knew that the mouth was not talking about her, because she wrote a modern poem, but the number of words is definitely not 60 words, at least several hundred words. At this moment, her two willow-leaf eyebrows were slightly furrowed, looking at him.

  He finally said it out loud.

  "Yang Hua, fellow student."

  Huh?

  The whole class was as surprised to hear Yang Hua's name as they were to hear a terrorist say that he loved peace.

  "Hey, hey, I'm calling you, Grass, are you still sleeping?" Li Jian finally couldn't hold back and punched towards Yang Hua.

  Yang Hua slowly got up from the table, rubbed his eyes, and was taken aback. He saw that everyone in the class was staring at him with wide eyes, as if they were looking at a monster, which scared him.

  "What...what's wrong with me? Why are you staring at me like that?" Yang Hua was stunned there.

  "You idiot, you won an award, and it's even first prize." Li Jian said, staring at the half-awake guy with utter disbelief.

  "What?"

  Yang Hua seemed even more surprised than others when he heard his name.

  "What prize? I won a prize?" Yang Hua was bewildered.

  "The last school-wide free-topic essay contest." Li Jian reminded.

  "Nonsense! Last time I was writing, I even fell asleep during the test and wrote less than a hundred words. And yet I still got an award? You must be counting backwards!" Yang Hua said in dismay.

  Only then did Li Si above burst out laughing.

  "Look, this is what we call a freak talent." Li Si said with a smile.

  Yang Hua only then saw that beast standing on the podium, and he was stunned. He even said so himself - could it be that he had really won an award?

  Damn it! It's beyond my expectation.

  Li Jian smiled and asked, "What did you write? 60 words can win an award? I wrote over 600!"

  Yang Hua rubbed his head and thought for a moment, saying: "I think I remember that it was when I was sleeping and dreaming at the time, suddenly I dreamed that I had become deaf, so I wrote 'I'm Deaf'."

  "What?" The whole class gasped in unison.

  "Alright, alright, classmates. Let me read out the 60-word essay of our school's first prize winner Yang Hua for everyone to listen. You all should learn from it too."

  Everyone was stunned, and the beautiful Xie Yuting sitting in the front row also turned her head to look at this boy who had never been noticed by her before. It can be said that she had never paid attention to any of the boys in the class, but now seeing Yang Hua, she felt a shock inside, this boy was quite handsome, only...

  In the second row of the classroom, a girl with a small face and a pure smile kept smiling at Yang Hua. Li Nana.

  He merely cleared his throat with two coughs and said, "The title of the essay is 'I Am Deaf'".

  I'm deaf.

  I'm really deaf

  I have spent two years five months and 41 days in a silent world.

  It wasn't until now that I suddenly realized

  Actually, no matter how good your eyes are, they can't replace an ear.

  After finishing reading, he looked at all the classmates who were stunned there with satisfaction, and then the whole class burst out laughing.

  Yang Hua suddenly blushed, and the author swore in front of the 21-inch display that Yang Hua's blush this time was absolutely unexpected.

  "Wow, you're so talented!" Li Jian burst out laughing and said to Yang Hua on one side.

  Yang Hua looked at the laughter of the whole class and felt a bit annoyed: "Are you guys praising me or mocking me?"

  "Boast, boast."

  The whole class said.

  Xie Yuting on the other side also smiled lightly, although she felt that Yang Hua's 60 words were indeed a bit... but after careful consideration, it seemed that there was some truth to them, and this made her take another look at Yang Hua.

  Yang Hua, on the other hand, felt like he was being punished this time for winning the award. Although it came out of nowhere and even he didn't expect it, did his luck just arrive? Maybe next time there will be a beautiful woman who will throw herself at him?

  While everyone was having a good time, no one noticed a lonely figure, Yang Mei.

  It turned out that this guy had heard that the school was holding a literary competition, and he thought to himself, although he wasn't very good-looking, but being intelligent and elegant was also a kind of beauty. So he burned the midnight oil, fighting hard for a whole week, day and night, writing a sentimental essay of several thousand words. He thought to himself, even if his writing skills weren't as good as Qiong Yao's, it shouldn't be too difficult to move a few judges to tears with one blow of their nose.

  Who would have thought that this time I was actually defeated by someone else's 60-word article, it's really infuriating, my heart not only vented all the resentment on the judges, but also secretly cursed the judges for being blind and cursed his ancestors for eighteen generations.

  Still the same phrase, leave your footprint, cast your vote, three kilograms of oil!!!!! 1
