CHAPTER 205
Things have been going well recently. Work carried on well with Bai Renxiang and Li Fengjin meeting regularly and their project progressed. During these regular meetings, Bai Renxiang started to get used to Li Fengjin and was freer. She enjoyed his company and vice versa.
Meanwhile, Bai Xiaojin looked forward to seeing that friendly man he had already considered a friend and a great candidate for his potential father. Most times before Shane or the other driver would come to pick him up, he would wish that that man would come again.
Bai Xiaojin had also taken to his advice and did not let the words of those bullies get to him.
Today is proof of that.
The classroom was quite rowdy as the teacher had excused himself. He had watched them pick a book to read before he left. But without being told, he knew that those kids would turn the classroom into their playground before he came back. So he hurried to wherever he was going.
Just as most kids were playing and some were singing, Bai Xiaojin busied himself at his seat reading the book his teacher picked out for him. The other kids did not bother with gin as they were already used to him. Also, they even preferred it that way.
"A boy with no daddy does not deserve to play with us," they would say.
Bai Xiaojin could not care less about what they said. He had better things to do with Math and English. While he focused on reading, two boys came to stand in front of his table. Bai Xiaojin noticed them but he chose to ignore them.
"Hey Snobby," the first boy called and Bai Xiaojin ignored them.
"Are you deaf? We are talking to you," the other hit his table.
"I'm not deaf. You are the one with bad a memory here. Why would I answer to a name that is not mine?" Bai Xiaojin said calmly.
"You... How dare you say that?"
"Bai Xiaojin, you are so rude. Do you know who we are? Anyway, I do not expect you to know when you do not know who your father is," the first boy said and the few kids around them laughed.
The next thing that Bai Xiaojin did got the kids surprised. Instead of his normal angry or sad face, he also laughed. They exchanged look as they were confused at the scene.
"What are you laughing at?" The first boy asked with a frown marring his small face.
*giggle* "Why would I not laugh? To think that you forgot who you are and thought it cool to ask a boy who has no dad. Doing that, are you not making him look the same? How do you want me to know what you do not know? Your 'daddy' did not tell you?" Bai Xiaojin asked mockingly.
Because Bai Xiaojin's voice was higher than the boy's, the whole class happened to hear his mocking words, they erupted in laughter. It was really funny. Some were happy that the bully got served by the class's most quiet boy.
The boy was fuming with anger already and Bai Xiaojin smiled inwardly. It was sweet to see your enemy hurting from your words.
"Watch your words, you bastard!"
"Why should I? You get to say what you want and I do not?" Bai Xiaojin asked with a straight face- just like that cool man.
"Why should you get to say what you want. You are just a curse. Maybe that is the reason your daddy left you and your mum. He does not want anything to do with you," the first boy shouted back. He refused to be at the losing end.
"At least I am not as dumb as you are to not know something as basic as my identity. I am not the one shaming my parent in school," Bai Xiaojin stated.
"Yu Bao, you just got served," a kid shouted and the others laughed.
"What is going on here?" A loud voice thundered in the classroom.
Immediately the class went quiet and the kids standing hurried to their seats. Noticing such a scene, the teacher raised his brows in suspicion.
"I asked a question. What happened while I was away? Did I not pick out books for you all to read before I get back?" He asked again but no one responded.
"What was I expecting from a bunch of naughty little kids?" He mumbled.
Just then, he saw a hand raise from a seat in the middle of the class. Seeing a child ready to tell him what had transpired in his classroom while he was away.
"Yes, Yu Bao. Tell me what happened," he gave Yu Bao the go-ahead.
Taking the cue, Yu Bao stood up proudly and all the kids in the class turned to look at him while guessing what he was going to say. Is he going to tell the teacher that he made trouble for Bai Xiaojin?
"Teacher Song, Bai Xiaojin did not want to read the book and started troubling everyone else by hitting his desk. I asked him to stop but he did not listen and called me names," he lied smoothly.
Bai Xiaojin let out a lazy sigh on hearing Yu Bao's words. He is such a smooth lair. Almost all kids in this school and the previous one gas the same trait which is lying. He began to wonder if they had a private lesson where they were thought how to lie without even batting an eyelid.
Teacher Song looked at Bai Xiaojin in disbelief. He saw the kid just seating there with crossed arms and the same quiet face he had always had. He was finding it hard to believe what Yu Bao has reported.
"Bai Xiaojin is that true? Did you do what Yu Bao just said?" Teacher Song asked. He wanted to hear his side of the story so that he would be able to give correct judgement on the issue.
"No, it's not."
