A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1371 Hua Twelve: You have a huge advantage! (Please subscribe!)

Hua Shier's words silenced the classroom instantly; you could probably hear a pin drop.

All the students' eyes were focused on Hua Shier and their homeroom teacher, Hou Jia.

Hua Shier looked sincere, while Teacher Hou's face visibly changed from white to red, then from red to blue, finally settling on an unbelievable iron-blue color.

"Hua Twelve!"

Hou Jia practically gritted her teeth as she uttered those three words:
"Don't sit separately, come to my office with me!"

Because of this blunt truth, on the first day of school, Huashi No. 12 didn't even sit in a classroom chair; he stood in the corridor outside the teacher's office for the entire class period.

Teacher Hou Jia was clearly quite angry at his words. She made Hua Shier stand in the corridor, then turned around and went inside to complain to the other teachers about how unruly the students were these days.

"Listen to this! Is this even fair? How dare you talk to a teacher like that!"

Hou Jia's voice came through the crack in the door, clearly telling other teachers about the great achievements of Huashi 12 and making shocking remarks.

Hua Shier leaned against the wall nonchalantly, even having the leisure to observe the students coming and going in the corridor after class.

A few bolder students glanced at him curiously as they passed by, and he responded with a friendly smile, as relaxed and friendly as if he were greeting a local while traveling!
And then there were those beautiful female classmates, each one as beautiful as a flower in bloom, with infinitely wonderful youthful years. If Hua Shier hadn't remembered that he was still a student, he would have wanted to whistle at his beautiful female classmates.

A chubby girl walked past Hua Twelve with a lovesick look on her face, her eyes practically drooling over his handsome features.

Hua Twelve quickly reminded:
"Hey student, please remember you're still a student. Don't let yourself get distracted by handsome guys!"

The students passing by all burst out laughing, and two male students even whispered among themselves:
"Which class is this kid from? So shameless!"

Hua Twelve raised his middle finger at the other party:

"Hey kid, which class are you in? Dare to tell me your name? If you've got the guts, let's have a one-on-one fight in the grove behind the school after school!"

The other party wasn't intimidated either:
"Zhang Ziqiang from Class 3, Grade 11, see you in the woods after school!"

Hua Shier raised his eyebrows:

"It's a deal then, don't be a coward and wait patiently, or I might go there and not find you!"

Zhang Ziqiang laughed in anger: "Don't worry, if you don't go, I'll be your son!"

"He's a man!"

Hua Shier gave the other person a thumbs-up, then kindly reminded them:
"Your name is too arrogant; it'll make you a target for criticism!"

After a furious Zhang Ziqiang was pulled away by his classmates, a figure suddenly approached:
"You really want to fight him one-on-one?"

Upon closer inspection, this guy looked exactly like the 'Little Cheetah,' so it was undoubtedly his classmate, Zhao Ye.

Hua Twelve chuckled:
"What a joke! I just tricked him into going to the woods. I'll leave after school and let him starve in the woods. Anyway, I didn't say I wasn't going!"

Zhao Ye:
He glanced silently at Zhang Ziqiang as he walked away, silently mourning for his brother for a second, hoping the other party would be smart, otherwise he would be in for a long wait!
He turned around and patted Hua Shier on the shoulder:

"My name is Zhao Ye, we're in the same class, buddy, you're awesome! Teacher Hou is furious, I just glanced over and saw her throwing her lesson plans around in the office!"

Hua Shier raised an eyebrow: "I'm just telling the truth."

Just then, the office door suddenly opened, and Hou Jia stood in the doorway, her face still pale, but with a hint of panic and guilt in her eyes.

Upon seeing the teacher, Zhao Ye gave an awkward smile and quickly slipped away.

Teacher Hou ignored Zhao Ye and instead waved to Chaohua Twelve:

"Hua Twelve, come in."

When Hua Shier entered the office, he found that the other teachers were pretending to be busy, but in reality, they were eavesdropping.

Hou Jia took a deep breath and said in a dry voice:
"I just called the street office where you live to verify the situation, and your family situation is indeed special."

Hou Jia's tone softened, and she said with remorse:
"The teacher was unaware of the situation this morning and spoke too harshly. I apologize."

After the teacher said that, Hua Shier felt a little embarrassed. His words that morning had been too individualistic, and now that he thought about it, they were not appropriate for a student in this day and age.

He said quickly:
"Teacher, please don't talk like that! Good grief, I guess I spoke carelessly, and I didn't even get the parents' issue sorted out. Guess what? This matter has absolutely nothing to do with you!"

Listening to him spout nonsense in his thick Beijing accent, the serious atmosphere in the office immediately relaxed, and several of the teachers around who had been listening intently couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ms. Hou, however, wasn't offended. She felt embarrassed to apologize to a student in front of the other teachers, but Hua Shier's witty remark made her feel less ashamed and even warmed her heart.

"What a good child! He even knows how to give the teacher a way out!"

Teacher Hou smiled, then earnestly asked Hua Twelve:
"Don't worry, I won't talk about your family situation with anyone. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. Don't be shy, okay? If I can't help you, there's always the school!"

Hua Shier knew that Teacher Hou was afraid that if word got out that he didn't have parents, he would be bullied by some unlucky kids.

I was touched when I heard the teacher say that I should ask for help if I had any difficulties. I knew that the teacher was a good teacher, and I decided to cause the teacher less trouble in the future.

After Teacher Hou finished speaking, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder:

"Go back to the classroom. You're tall, so I've put you in the last row. If you can't see clearly, just tell the teacher, and I'll adjust your seat!"

Hua Shier thanked them, said goodbye to the other teachers, and then walked out of the office and returned to Class 1, Grade 1.

As soon as he left, a male teacher said with a smile:

"Did you notice? This kid wasn't nervous at all from beginning to end. He had that kind of composure that even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, he might be someone important in the future!"

Hua Shier returned to the classroom, immediately attracting the attention of everyone. He grinned at his classmates:
"I, Hu Hansan, am back again!"

A burst of laughter erupted instantly; clearly, many people hadn't forgotten his hilarious self-introduction that morning.

Chen Xun frowned:
"Class is about to start, hurry back to your seat!"

Hua Shier raised his eyebrows, pretending not to recognize him, and asked:

"There are plenty of busybodies out there, who do you think you are!"

"you"

Chen Xun's face darkened, and he stood up, glaring at him with a confrontational air.

Zhao Ye, who was sitting at the table in front of Chen Xun, quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Hey, hey, we're all classmates, don't let it hurt our friendship. Hua Shier, let me introduce you to this classmate, Chen Xun, our class monitor of Class 1, Grade 1!"

Hua Twelve then realized and said:

"So that's why you were picking on me! Oh, you're the class monitor, aren't you? You're the old teacher's lackey!"

Chen Xun slammed his hand on the table: "What did you say? Say it again!"

Hua Twelve sneered:

"So what if I called you a lackey? It's break time now, and you're telling me whether I should go back to my seat or not? Are you an idiot? I only called you a lackey, I didn't call you a mad dog biting people, that's already being lenient!"

Boys of this age are generally easily provoked. Chen Xun is good at studying and handsome. He has always been the "other people's child" in the eyes of many parents since he was a child. He couldn't stand this insult and wanted to rush out and fight.

As a result, Zhao Ye and his deskmate Qiao Ran held him back tightly.

Hua Twelve continues to provoke:
"You look like a bulldog, what, you still won't back down? Then let's have a one-on-one fight in the grove behind the school after school. If you don't go, you're a coward. I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Chen Xun's neck veins bulged, and he said, his face red and neck thick:

"Fine, I'll go. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Zhao Ye was really worried. "What the hell am I supposed to do? If I end up fighting with Zhang Ziqiang again, do you think you're Ye Guohuan?!"

He planned to tell Chen Xun later to stop him from going to the woods to feed the mosquitoes.

After Hua Shier arranged the fight between Chen Xun and Zhang Ziqiang, he glanced at the seats behind him and saw that the last row by the window was still empty. He couldn't help but smile as he walked over and casually put his schoolbag on the table.

This location offers a wide view, allowing you to observe the whole class's movements up close and enjoy the scenery outside the window at any time. It's truly a feng shui treasure with a bright open space in front and a mountain behind, surrounded by mountains and water!

Other students: That's enough, let's choose seats and cemetery plots!

What's even more remarkable is that he's the only one sitting there, without a chattering deskmate, which would make it easier for him to fall asleep in class.

After sitting down, Hua Shier looked around and was very satisfied.

His gaze inadvertently swept across the front row, and coincidentally, Fang Hui was secretly turning around to look at him.

Their eyes met briefly in the air. Fang Hui, like a startled deer, immediately turned her head away in a panic, her ears turning slightly red with nervousness.

Hua Shier is an extremely complex figure in Fang Hui's mind.

Fang Hui witnessed the scene of the boy being taken away by the police. Later, she pieced together the horrifying fact from the discussions of the neighbors that he had stabbed more than a dozen people with a single knife, inflicting more than a hundred stab wounds. Any ordinary high school girl would inevitably feel intimidated by such a peer with such a "remarkable record".

On the other hand, Fang Hui could not forget the scene at the entrance of the community that day when Hua Shier rode his bicycle and knocked Tang Haibing down to help her out of a predicament.

Although he left without even glancing at her afterward, his decisive action did temporarily free her from Tang Haibing's entanglement.

This gratitude is genuine in her heart and hard to forget.

Hua Shier that day was a ray of light in her heart, only this ray of light was tinged with blood red.

Thus, fear and gratitude intertwined in the girl's heart, making her attitude towards Hua Twelve extremely contradictory.

I wanted to thank him for what happened that day, but I also instinctively wanted to stay away from this dangerous person.

Anyone with eyes could glean a glimpse of her complex emotions from her evasive gaze and hesitant expression.

"interesting!"

Hua Shier could naturally sense Fang Hui's emotions, but he found it amusing and didn't care.

Hey! Dude!

Zhao Ye walked over and sat down next to Hua Shier: "Did the teacher make things difficult for you?"

Hua Shier raised an eyebrow and said frankly, "Teacher Hou is a good person, but he's a bit of a worrywart."

"Old Hou is indeed a good person, sharp-tongued but kind-hearted!"

Zhao Ye nodded in agreement, and then said:
"By the way, give me some face and don't get into a fight with Chen Xun. He and that Qiao Ran next to him are both my buddies, and they're not bad people!"

Hua Twelve asked curiously:
"You went to the same junior high school, how come you're already best buddies at the start of the semester?"

Zhao Ye nodded and explained:

"The three of us were directly promoted from this school. We were in the same class in junior high, so we're really close. Chen Xun was the class monitor, Qiao Ran was the life committee member, and we were both top students. I was a bit less academically gifted, so I went the sports route."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hua Shier's figure:
"Honestly, it's a shame you're not playing basketball with that height! How about joining the basketball team? I know the coach well, I can recommend you for the school team without any problem."

"I'm busy," Hua Shier replied crisply.

"No time? What are you doing?" Zhao Ye asked curiously.

Hua Shier glanced at him and said slowly, "Make money."

"make money?"

Zhao Ye's eyes lit up immediately: "How do we make money? Take me with you!"

Boys his age often have a strange longing for "independence" and "making money," especially since Zhao Ye's family wasn't well-off.

Hua Shier looked him up and down, lingering for a moment on his curly hair and height, and asked:

Are you sixteen yet?

Zhao Ye scratched his head: "There are still six months left. What does that have to do with making money?"

"Half a year short." Hua Shier's eyes lit up, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips:

"That's just right."

"What's just right?"

Zhao Ye felt a little uneasy at his laughter, but couldn't suppress his curiosity.

Hua Shier smiled and said, "Let's walk together after school. I'll take you to a nice place."

"What a good place?"

"What's the rush? You'll find out when the time comes. Go or don't go, this is your only chance!"

Just then, the school bell rang, and Zhao Ye returned to his seat, full of doubt.

Chen Xun said with a resentful expression:
"That kid's such a show-off, what's the point of talking to him!"

Zhao Ye chuckled but didn't say anything. Qiao Ran advised:
"Alright, Chen Xun, what that person said isn't wrong. It was during break time, and he didn't do anything. You're going a bit too far by interfering with other people's behavior even after class!"

Chen Xun didn't say anything. He didn't know why, but he felt uncomfortable with Hua Shier ever since he saw him in the morning, as if they were natural enemies.

The morning passed quickly. Since it was the first day of school, there were only half a day of classes, and the school gave us the afternoon off!

As soon as the bell rang, Hua Shier grabbed her schoolbag and left. She went to the bike shed to get her bicycle, and just as she rode out of the school gate, Zhao Ye chased after her.

"Wait for me! Didn't you say you'd take me to a nice place?"

Hua Twelve chuckled:
"You want me to help you make money, and you want me to wait for you? Haven't you heard the saying, 'If you're not proactive in making money, there's something wrong with your thinking'? If you're out of your mind, I'm not playing with you!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ye grinned. He had originally followed out of curiosity, but now he felt a bit of anticipation.

The two chatted as they rode, and Zhao Ye chuckled to himself:

"Do you know what? When I went downstairs just now, I saw Zhang Ziqiang heading towards the grove behind the school!"

Hua Shier became interested: "Did Chen Xun go?"

Zhao Ye rolled his eyes: "He's my buddy, how could I watch him suffer? Of course I advised him not to go!"

Hua Twelve couldn't help but say in disappointment:
"You're so boring! Watching them fight is so much more fun!"

After riding for a while, Zhao Ye finally couldn't contain his curiosity: "Where are we going?"

"cybercafe."

"Internet cafe? Isn't it supposed to be profitable?" Zhao Ye was a little confused.

"The way to make money is in internet cafes."

Hua Shier led Zhao Ye to an internet cafe called 'Speed'.

At the beginning of the millennium, even in Beijing, internet cafes were still a novelty. They were mostly filled with young people playing games like "Red Alert" and "The Legend of Sword and Fairy," filled with smoke and the clatter of keyboards.

Hua Shier turned on two adjacent machines, skillfully booted them up, and opened the browser.

Zhao Ye sat next to him, watching him operate with a blank expression.

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

While rapidly typing on the keyboard, Hua Shier said without turning his head, "Register a BBS account."

"BBS? What's that?"

"An electronic bulletin board—you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you," Hua Shier said, too lazy to explain in detail. "Just look at it."

He quickly registered an account on a popular local forum, with the ID "Anything is fine".

Then, he created a new post with a particularly eye-catching title:

Zhao Ye leaned closer to read the contents, and saw that it read:

Zhao Ye stared in disbelief, pointing at the screen and stammering, "This...this debt collection company? Us? High school students?"

"What? No?"

Hua posted at 12 o'clock, looking at the post with satisfaction as it appeared in the forum list. He turned around and smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry, you have a big advantage at your age in this line of work!"
