Chapter 113 Go and Stand Outside

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Wu Tong pursed her lips and said, “It’s not like I’m asking you to do anything. It’s just a simple matter. Don’t tell me you’re unwilling to help me with such a small matter?”

“Mom,” Ji Mo lowered his head and suddenly said, “I’m not happy studying in this school. I want to transfer schools.”

“Transfer schools? Did someone instigate you to do that?” Wu Tong suddenly stood up and scolded, “Do you want to go to that prestige private school? Who instigated you? Is it your sister-in-law?”

“No,” Ji Mo pursed his lips. “No one instigated me, and I don’t want to go to a prestige private school. I want to change an environment, I…”

“Why? Do you know how much effort I put in to get you into that school?” Wu Tong rejected decisively. She did not listen to Ji Mo’s reason at all. “I am doing this for your good. Moreover, the school is so close to where mom lives. If you want to look for me, you can come here anytime. Isn’t that good? I will not allow you to transfer.”

She could only be at ease if she could keep Ji Mo in a place where she could see and control him.

Ji Mo wanted to say something, but he suddenly lost interest to continue speaking. “Alright, I understand, mom.” He lowered his head. The ear-piercing ringing of the school bell rang in his ears, “It’s time for class. Mom, I’m leaving.”

After saying that, he ignored Wu Tong and strode into the school gate without turning back once.

Wu Tong stomped her feet in anger and cursed a few times with a ferocious expression. Her irritable appearance attracted the attention of the security guards at the entrance. She paused and cursed a few more times before turning around to leave.

In Grade 12 Class 1, the classroom was silent. Every student sat upright and obediently in their seats. They held their breaths and stared at their books attentively, afraid that they would make a sound. Their form teacher was a middle-aged woman wearing black-rimmed glasses. She had a bloated figure and sparse hair. The wrinkles on her face made her look even more stern and conservative.

She held the ruler in her hand and stared sternly at Ji Mo, who had just arrived and was standing at the door. She shouted, “Ji Mo!”

Ji Mo lifted his head. “Yes, teacher?”

“Look at what time it is now? What time does the school start?” The form teacher scolded, “You’re all Grade 12 students now. Did you all turn a deaf ear to what I have told you about coming to school a little earlier?”

Ji Mo lowered his head and did not say anything

“You don’t have to attend today’s class. Go and stand outside!” The form teacher reprimanded coldly, “before school ends, hand over 3,000 words of self-reflection letter to me. Do you hear me?”

“I hear you,” Ji Mo paused and stood in front of the classroom door. He placed the school bag on the ground.

“What are you all looking at? Do you all want to get punished too?” The form teacher shouted at the students in the class who were looking at Ji Mo. They were so scared of her that they quickly retracted their gazes and sat down obediently.

After the long lesson ended and the form teacher left, the students rushed out like birds that had escaped from their cages. The classroom was once again bustling with noise. Ji Mo bent down to pick up the school bag placed on the ground. At this moment, a pair of sneakers with dirt stepped on them. A rough voice sounded, “Oh, so even students with good grades will be late for school.”

Ji Mo lifted his head. Their high school had strict rules regarding the students’ hairstyles and clothing. Boys were not allowed to dye their hair or perm their hair. The person wore a school uniform. He had a buzz cut and was a teenager, but he was tall and husky. That boy looked at Ji Mo provocatively. “Liu Che,” Ji Mo looked up at him calmly as if he was used to his attitude. “What do you want now?”

“We wouldn’t dare to do anything to the student with good grades, would we?” Liu Che and his friends behind him laughed loudly.

“Ji Mo, I heard that you were stopped by your sl*t mother at the school gate again today. Is that so?” Liu Che grinned and stretched out a finger to pick up the school bag on the ground. “I was wondering why there was such a strong smell. So, it was because you got it from your sl*t mother.”

“I’m sorry, I’m allergic to this smell,” He grabbed Ji Mo’s school bag and threw it downstairs. “For my health and safety, I’ll help you take care of your school bag for free.”

Liu Che’s father was a nouveau riche, and his family was relatively well-off.

Wu Tong was used to hooking up with other men, and she happened to live next door to the Liu family. So, she hooked up with Liu Che’s father. Her action caused chaos in Liu Che’s family, and he hated his classmate, Ji Mo, for that.
