Chapter 43

Feeling the gale whipping across the rooftop, John couldn’t help swallowing hard. He was afraid the kid really would jump-and that he would die right along with him.

Fortunately, just then, a young teacher suddenly came running up.

“What are you doing?! Get down from there!”

The teacher had refined features and wore a suit, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face. He looked exceptionally cultured.

For some reason, though, John could see the man’s face clearly, but he couldn’t remember it.

When the man saw the boy standing on the edge of the roof, he hurried over in obvious distress.

“Sibo, you’re Liu Sibo, right? I’m the homeroom teacher of the class next door. I know a little about what’s been happening to you. Don’t do anything rash. Come back with me. I can help you!”

Liu Sibo turned back and looked at the man’s outstretched hand, tears welling in his eyes.

Everyone bullied him. Only this man before him had reached out to help. Liu Sibo felt a faint glimmer of hope.

He took the man’s hand and climbed down from the rooftop.

In that instant, the man broke into a brilliant smile.

…

Meanwhile, Liu Ye was dragging Fu Yang to a certain area of the amusement park.

Who knew whether Fu Yang was lucky or not? Even after everything that had happened, he still wasn’t dead-and he was still conscious.

“Brother Yang, there’s a mini cinema over here. Let’s watch a movie.”

“A movie?”

Fu Yang suddenly felt a surge of palpitations. But right after that, he was overjoyed. Palpitations were good. Palpitations meant danger. And if there was danger, he could take this bastard down with him.

He started desperately trying to recall it, only…

“Brother Yang!”

He kept trying to remember…

“Brother Yang!!”

Remember…

“Brother Yang!!!”

“Aaaah!!!”

Fu Yang howled in agony. Why was it that no matter how hard he tried, all he could think of was that bastard’s face?!

At that moment, Liu Ye put on the glasses nearby and entered that world.

“Whoa! So this is the legendary… uh… that… Second-Brother movie, right? It’s so realistic.”

Liu Ye said in amazement.

The moment he spoke, the younger Zhao Ze and the others beside him were startled.

“How is this mute talking?” Lyu Jicheng said in shock.

“Who knows? But so what? Are the things ready? Are you guys playing or not?” Zhao Ze said impatiently.

“Of course we’re playing. I’ll go first!”

Xie Baoguo stepped forward and drew a slip of paper. It still had the same task written on it. He took out a lighter and walked over to Liu Ye with a vicious grin.

As soon as Liu Ye saw someone coming over, he immediately turned his head and saw Xie Baoguo approaching with a lit lighter in hand.

“Oh, I get it!”

Who knew where Liu Ye got a cigarette from, but he leaned his head over, cupped his hand around it, lit the cigarette, took a drag, and said to Xie Baoguo, “Thanks.”

“Hey, no problem. We’re all classmates.”

Xie Baoguo smiled and waved it off. But the moment he turned around, he saw Zhao Ze and the others staring at him blankly, and he suddenly realized something was wrong.

“Why the hell did I light your cigarette?!”

Xie Baoguo roared and threw the lighter to the ground.

Furious, he charged at Liu Ye and swung his fist at him.

But Liu Ye wasn’t going to stand there and take a beating like that boy. He easily dodged Xie Baoguo’s attack, then looked as if realization had struck him. Ah, so this was supposed to be interactive, right? He got it! He’d read about this in a book.

That book, Midnight Something Ring, wasn’t that about crawling out to interact with people?

Thinking of that, he quickly patted himself down and thought back to the movies he’d seen. A huge light bulb instantly appeared above his head.

On Xie Baoguo’s side, seeing Liu Ye move so nimbly made him even angrier. He grabbed a stool beside him and was about to smash it down on Liu Ye, but just then, Liu Ye suddenly pulled out something pitch-black and pressed it against his forehead.
“Who the hell do you think you’re messing with?”

Xie Baoguo: “…”

Zhao Ze and the others: “…”

No, wait, bro. This wasn’t in the script.

“All of you, listen up! My name is Liu Huaqiang!”

Aren’t you Liu Sibo?!

Everyone roared inwardly.

Then they watched Liu Ye throw his schoolbag onto the floor.

“Hurry up. Put all your lunches in there!”

“…”

Everyone: “…”

What kind of bit was this now?

“Zhao Ze, I don’t think that’s a real gun. Maybe he’s just using a toy to scare us,” Fu Yang whispered.

For some reason, the moment he saw Liu Ye, an intense sense of fear had suddenly risen inside him.

But the second he finished speaking, Liu Ye fired a shot straight at the ceiling.

“Ahhh!”

Everyone hurriedly crouched down.

“Move it! Put your lunches in!”

Everyone obediently stuffed their lunches into the schoolbag. Then Liu Ye looked at them and shouted excitedly,

“Lunches for sale! Anyone who wants lunch, come buy one! Only ten thousand yuan a serving! Cheap, cheap!”

You are way too good at this, damn it!

Everyone screamed madly in their hearts.

And also, how was ten thousand yuan a serving cheap?!

Half an hour later…

A teacher rushed over. He had originally been waiting for Liu Sibo on the rooftop, but after waiting for ages and seeing no one show up, he came to the classroom to see what had gone wrong. As soon as he stepped inside…

“With this bow~ we pledge loyalty and righteousness~”

Liu Ye held up three cigarettes like incense sticks and gazed at Zhao Ze with deep emotion.

“Big Brother!”

“S-Second Brother!” Zhao Ze said, trembling.

“Third Brother!” Liu Ye turned to Fu Yang.

“Second Brother…” Fu Yang said, looking like he was about to cry.

On the podium, Xie Baoguo was tied up, several sheets of paper stuck to his face, and a mop shoved into his hands.

“What happened here?”

The man’s mouth twitched as he spoke. This was… sort of like the plan, wasn’t it?

“Are you three putting on a play?” the man couldn’t help asking as he walked over.

In front of the students, he still maintained a fairly decent image. Then he looked curiously at Xie Baoguo.

“I understand the three of them are doing the Oath of the Peach Garden, but Xie Baoguo, what are you supposed to be?”

“Lord Guan…” Xie Baoguo said faintly.

The man: “…”

At that moment, Liu Ye spotted him, and his eyes instantly lit up.

“Master!”

“Huh? How did I get dragged into this too?” the man said awkwardly.

Liu Ye said excitedly, “Master, it’s me, Wukong! The idiot got kidnapped by Keanu Reeves! We have to hurry to Disney and find the Teletubbies to save him!”

The man: “…”

I could read Journey to the West until the pages fell apart and still never find this part, okay?

Liu Ye, however, was extremely satisfied with his own performance. He felt like he could take this act to some film festival and win the Crotch-d’Or or something.

The man really did not want to keep playing along with Liu Ye’s madness, so he said to him, “Uh, Sibo, come outside for a second.”

“Yes, Master!”

Liu Ye nodded, then turned to Zhao Ze and the others.

“You guys wait for me, okay? When I get back, we’ll keep playing Drunken Beating of Jia Baoyu!”

Everyone: “…”

The man: “…”

Why are you beating him up for no reason?
