Chapter 27 This is my cage, not yours.
The Spring Festival holiday is too short for every senior high school student.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, senior high school students at Xinghua No.1 Middle School returned to school one after another. The campus, which had been quiet for less than a week, immediately became lively again. Although the atmosphere was serious and tense, it was also full of lively Spring Festival atmosphere.
"Ye Kai, try this pastry of mine, it's homemade."
Wei Junjie, who was sitting in the front row, turned around, took out a box of pastries from the drawer, and handed it to Ye Kai to taste like a treasure.
"I didn't expect it to taste so good!"
Unable to refuse such hospitality, Ye Kai casually picked up a piece, tasted it, and surprisingly found it delicious, so he sincerely praised it.
"Hey, this looks pretty good!"
"Let me try some!"
The surrounding classmates immediately swarmed around, their eyes green like hungry wolves, and quickly divided up the snacks in the box.
"My mom is planning to open a dessert shop. She's already found a location at the intersection of Central Street and the shopping plaza, and it's currently under renovation."
"If you have time in the future, you can go and try it. Mention my name to enjoy the member price."
After distributing the snacks, Wei Junjie smiled and said to everyone.
"No problem, I'll definitely support you!"
"Great, great, delicious, delicious!"
The feedback from everyone was quite positive, which put Wei Junjie, who had been feeling a little uneasy, at ease. He thought to himself that his mother's plan to open a shop should be a sure thing this time.
"Hey Xi, speaking of opening a dessert shop, why not also sell milk tea and other drinks on the side..."
Thinking that Wei Junjie was one of his few close friends, Ye Kai couldn't help but want to give him a little pointers.
"What's so great about that stuff? It's just instant drinks."
Wei Junjie sat down again and replied dismissively.
He thought Ye Kai was talking about Xiangpiaopiao milk tea, which he could just brew with boiling water and drink, but the taste was just average and there was nothing particularly captivating about it. He figured it was better to just make his own coffee.
Moreover, convenience stores sell that kind of thing everywhere, with very low profit margins. Even if your own dessert shop sells this kind of milk tea, it doesn't seem to make much money.
"I'm not talking about something that requires no skill at all, but rather handmade, freshly made milk tea."
Ye Kai knew that Wei Junjie had misunderstood, so he added with a smile.
"Handmade milk tea, what is that?"
Wei Junjie had never encountered such a thing before, and asked in surprise.
"that is……"
Ye Kai was about to give him a crash course when he saw Wang Fusheng, the homeroom teacher and Chinese language teacher, walk in silently from outside the door with a stern face and his hands behind his back. So he obediently shut his mouth, took out the biology test paper again, and started doing practice questions.
The only weakness preventing him from achieving a high score in the science subjects is biology.
Although he had long forgotten the specific content of the college entrance examination that year, he still had a general idea of what it was like. With targeted review, he should be able to get a very good score in the actual exam.
"All things considered, we have four months left until the college entrance examination."
"I've told you this many times, these are the four months that will change your lives."
"If you don't work hard now, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
"From this moment forward, every single second you waste is a crime against your future life."
After silently pacing around the classroom, Old Wang resumed peddling his inspirational platitudes.
As soon as he finished speaking, a murmur of surprise filled the classroom.
Wang Fusheng was clearly the only male homeroom teacher in the entire senior year of Xinghua No.1 High School, but for some reason he was more fussy than a woman.
Every morning, a big pot of chicken soup is ready for everyone to drink.
It's not that the students didn't want to listen, it's just that there weren't any new ideas, and everyone was getting tired of hearing it.
Kindergarten teachers are selective in the stories they tell; one day they might tell Snow White, the next Cinderella, and the day after the Frog Prince. But when Old Wang gives motivational speeches, he never uses any strategy; he just forces the same old ideas down your throat.
When I was in the first year of high school, Teacher Wang told me that this was a crucial year in my life, a watershed moment for me, so I had to study like crazy this year.
In your second year of high school, Teacher Wang said that this is the most important year of your lives. Many of you have your own dreams and pursuits, and have your own direction for your efforts. But I want to remind you that many of you start to have your grades drop in your second year of high school, so you must study like crazy this year.
By the time they reach their senior year of high school, everyone has evolved to the point of preparing to commit crimes.
"What a ridiculous argument! So we're spending all this time, burning the midnight oil, just to be suspects?"
A classmate next to Ye Kai couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Qiu Yu'an, what are you muttering about?"
Old Wang's ears were quite sharp; he immediately turned his piercing gaze to the classmate and questioned him in a deep voice.
"I say the teacher's opinion is excellent."
"The lamp burns at midnight and the rooster crows at dawn; if you don't learn properly, you're doomed."
Qiu Yu'an stood up and answered expressionlessly.
"Some of you better put away your little schemes. There are only four months left until the college entrance exam. We all need to work hard towards a better future!"
Old Wang didn't argue with him anymore, snorted coldly, and then left the classroom with his hands behind his back.
The classroom was quiet for a moment, then immediately returned to its noisy state.
"Ah, I had a dream last night. A rich woman took a liking to me, gave me a mansion, and wanted me to be her husband... Ah, the sound of students reading aloud outside the window shattered my beautiful dream, and all my wealth vanished... Ah..."
Feeling depressed, one student ran to the window, grabbed the iron bars, and started singing a modified version of "Dancing Girl's Tears" at the top of his lungs, which immediately drew cheers from the boys.
"Durian mango!"
The girls rolled their eyes at this and dismissed it as ridiculous.
"Plop plop—"
Just then, a black bird suddenly flew into the classroom through the window, fluttering its wings and flying around inside, as if it had been startled.
The classroom, which had been relatively quiet, suddenly erupted in excitement.
Everyone dropped their books and documents, stood up, and tried to catch the black bird.
Some students even stood on the stools, waving their hands as excitedly as if they were going to a concert.
"Damn it!"
"It just pooped a huge poop on my head!"
The student who was singing touched the top of his head and immediately flew into a rage.
"Plop plop—"
The bird fled in panic, burying itself in Ye Kai's arms and struggling to fly away, clearly terrified.
"quiet!"
"Don't scare it!"
Ye Kai stood up, stopping the commotion, and then carefully took the black bird out of his pocket and held it in his hands.
"Oh, it looks like a myna bird, and it's even wearing metal leg rings."
"It must already be taken."
Shen Jiayi, who was standing next to her, immediately recognized the bird's origin.
"Ye Kai, why don't you give it to me? I have several birds at home, so we can keep them together."
Some classmates were overjoyed and wanted Ye Kai to give them the birds to feed.
Ye Kai ignored him and walked straight to the window, holding the black myna bird in his hands and sticking his hands out of the window.
Go!
"This is my cage, not yours!"
Ye Kai said to the bird with a sincere expression.
The myna bird turned its head, looked at Ye Kai very seriously, then struggled to stand up, flapped its wings and flew away.
