Chapter 201
Shi Li stopped her actions and sat down. Several onlookers in the gymnasium caught Shi Li's gaze. Wei Yi stood up on his own, "Exercise should be balanced with rest. We've already taken a break, so it's time to get back to training."
The hand holding the popsicle and iced milk tea felt scorching hot. Without turning back, one could feel Shi Li's death glare.
So, the few continued to talk to themselves, "Junk food may be bad for health, but since it's food, we shouldn't waste it. Let's endure and finish it; we mustn't waste food."
Shi Li dislikes wasting food, and she didn't intend to make them throw the items away. If these people all left, that would be fine. After all, it was the rope-skipping group who provoked first, and it's normal for them to retaliate.
Their departure wouldn't affect the remaining rope-skippers, which was enough.
To encourage everyone to train more actively, Shi Li timely offered a sweet deal, "We still have ten minutes, everyone, just hold on a bit longer. Who wants iced milk tea? How about we treat everyone to iced milk tea and barbecue later?"
Of course, that sounded great. The key is that getting iced milk tea via delivery is doable, but barbecue is a bit tricky. You can't exactly pack a barbecue stand with charcoal and grill back to school.
The taste of barbecue from delivery isn't good; it has to be eaten at the barbecue place to taste right.
Hearing someone raise doubts, Shi Li smiled and asked, "Why can't we just go out to eat?"
Song Ying timidly spoke up, "But our meal time is only half an hour, just enough to eat at the cafeteria. Going out for barbecue would take at least an hour; we don't have enough time."
Suddenly, it dawned on her, "Are you suggesting we skip class?"
Although Song Ying wasn't there during the collective class skipping incident, she heard about the heroic deeds of Class 1 afterward.
However, thinking about how skipping class would deduct several points, Song Ying hesitated, "That's not good, it deducts a lot of points." The points deducted for skipping class usually take a long time to accumulate, and it's a bit of a pity.
Although the students in the rope-skipping group don't care much about points, if several points are deducted at once, it's quite heart-wrenching.
Shi Li looked at her as if she were a lunatic, [Is she crazy or am I crazy? I know skipping class deducts a lot of points, of course, I wouldn't choose to skip class.]
Seeing Song Ying still looking confused, Shi Li patted her head, "Sweetie, when can we use points to offset holidays and homework?"
Song Ying blinked, "Sister, you're so smart. It only takes one point to offset a holiday, but skipping class costs five points."
Shi Li looked at her, "We're only asking for a two-hour leave, so we don't need to deduct one point."
Song Ying's mouth opened wide, as if it could fit a fist, and she quickly realized her posture was improper and pushed her chin back up.
"Sister, you're so talented, then we only need to deduct 0.23 points!"
"Great, let's go quickly."
Shi Li sometimes thinks Song Ying is smart, and sometimes she thinks she's a natural airhead.
Disturbed by her, Shi Li completely lost the idea of making everyone train for another ten minutes. Okay, they'll go to the homeroom teacher's office later to "exchange for a holiday."
The training students in the venue naturally heard the conversation nearby, and a few of them were envious, their tears of envy flowing from the corners of their mouths.
An iced milk tea paired with charcoal-flavored barbecue, the taste is unbeatable.
They also want to join them for barbecue, but the problem is they don't have enough points, not even 0.2 points, they only have negative points.
If possible, they'd like to borrow points from the homeroom teacher and repay them later when they have points.
Not to mention when they'll have points, the homeroom teacher is a tightwad; there's no advance point-lending service, especially for those with negative points, and it's compounded interest.
Enviously watching the few leave, they wiped the corners of their mouths, and the popsicle they just ate didn't taste good anymore.
They didn't affect others but were tempted by them.
But who can blame them? It's only because their grades aren't good enough, they don't have enough points, otherwise, they could also spend freely now.
When the homeroom teacher set up the point system for exchanging holidays, he expected students to use points to ask for leave.
When Shi Li came to him to explain her intention, the homeroom teacher didn't stop her but supported it. These are all good students in the class, and a one or two-hour leave for students with good grades is nothing. After all, these kids' grades are already excellent.
It should also let other students in the class know the correct use of points. Their example is set, and it should motivate other students.
"Okay, I'll write you a leave note, you can leave with it later."
The homeroom teacher took out the point ledger from the corner, ready to deduct one point from each of the ten students.
Shi Li waved her hand, "No, no, we're asking for a two-and-a-half-hour leave, not a whole day, so you can't deduct one point."
The two-hour leave was collectively decided upon by everyone.
School ends at 6 PM, with half an hour for dinner, and classes start at 6:30 PM, ending at 9 PM.
Adding the time to go out for barbecue, even if the meal takes longer, it won't exceed two hours. Asking for a one-and-a-half-hour leave is the most beneficial and point-saving method.
Since they still need to return to school from the dining place, and an hour after returning, they'll be ready to go home.
Just an hour short, but it's such a hassle.
Everyone felt it was inappropriate, so they decided on a two-hour leave, allowing them to relax more during the meal without worrying about the leave time ending and having to rush back.
The homeroom teacher didn't expect these kids to be so meticulous. Just as he was stunned, Rongrong, good at math, had already calculated how many points each of them would use to offset, even to three decimal places.
"It should be 0.227, we'll round up, so 0.23 points."
The homeroom teacher, who has taught math for so many years, wasn't incapable of solving a primary school problem.
However, he was still amused by these kids, "Alright, I get it, 0.23 points, you can go and enjoy your holiday."
He viciously thought, you ten better not be early, otherwise, it'll count as skipping class.
The homeroom teacher crouched in front of the monitor, waiting to catch them, but these kids really stayed until the bell rang before packing their bags.
Okay, these kids are lucky.
The departure of these ten students made the other classmates in the class envious.
Even the evening self-study became less interesting. The homeroom teacher saw through the window and didn't go in to give an inspiring speech, just stood outside the classroom and watched silently.
On the other hand, Shi Li and the others picked up the pre-ordered iced milk tea and headed straight to the roadside stand where Fu Huixing took the group of three for barbecue last time.
Ten people, one large table.
Although the stall was simple, the taste was impeccable.
While the few whispered about class gossip, five or six burly men sat at the next table.
Their hairstyles weren't as avant-garde as the feather duster at the pet hospital, but just looking at their aura made them seem very intimidating.
[Isn't that Huang Bao?]
Hearing this name, everyone had a question: Who is Huang Bao? They've never heard of this name before.
[Convicted of rape and murder and sentenced to death, he should have died over a decade ago, but only spent a few days in prison before being bailed out by his parents.]
[Logically, he should still be in prison now.]
Qiao Jiajing took out his phone and pretended to take a photo of the grilled skewers on the table.
Song Ying, sitting near Huang Bao, made a peace sign, and Qiao Jiajing included her in the frame, along with the background of the burly men.
With this little episode, the meal, which cost 0.23 points, wasn't very enjoyable.
After Fu Huixing got home, he received a text message from Qiao Jingjia.
It was a photo he took while eating, with a message attached below.
[Thanks for your help with our family's affairs. I don't have anything good to thank you with. I heard your mom works in the relevant department, so this is my gift to her.]
