The Tang Family’s Seven Os Chapter 156 - Arc 7: OOOOOOO

Chapter 156 - Arc 7: OOOOOOO

Arc 7: OOOOOOO
The first time Tang Qi Yuan met Sheng Cen was on the first day of the first year of high school. The principal personally stood on the flag platform in the field to give a speech, the students stood in the field in uniform and lined up neatly.
Sheng Cen came late, ignoring the teachers and students standing in the field, and walked straight into the teaching building without looking at them.
He was taller than the average high school student, with a strong, lean body, three-dimensional features, clean-cut hair, and a very aggressive look. His youthfulness is different from the average high school student, the sense of oppression on his body is extremely strong, and when Tang Qi Yuan looks down, he can see the muscles on his arms.
The teachers in the field looked at each other, no one dared to stop him, even the principal on the flag platform could only pretend not to see him.
Sheng Cen was the Second Prince, and he was feared by both teachers and students, not only because of his noble status, but also because of his violent personality, and no one dared to provoke him.
Sheng Cen’s reputation for being violent has a long history. It is said that he was once displeased with a remark said by the Third Prince, Sheng Lian, so he directly kicked Sheng Lian down the stairs. Sheng Lian stayed in the hospital for two months before being discharged. It is also said that he is ashamed of his elder brother, Sheng Xi, because of his disabled legs, so Sheng Cen never wanted to be in the same frame as him.
Such a person who is disrespectful and cruel to both his elder brother and younger brother, everyone naturally shies away and does not dare to provoke him easily.
When Tang Qi Yuan looked at him, he did not fear him as much as the others did, but only thought he looked like a young lion.
A lion is destined to become the king of the forest.
The second time Tang Qi Yuan saw Sheng Cen was in his senior year, when he and Sheng Cen were assigned to the same class in their third year at Huang Han High School.
On the first day, the teacher asked everyone to come up to the podium and introduce themselves.
Tang Qi Yuan got up late because he was ill the day before and was the last to arrive. When he knocked on the door and came in, everyone had already finished their introductions except Sheng Cen.
Sheng Cen had been sleeping on his desk since he entered the classroom, and when Tang Qi Yuan knocked on the door just now, he was woken up by the noise, and his eyebrows knitted in annoyance.
Tang Qi Yuan walked to the podium and calmed his breathing before opening his mouth to introduce himself, “Hello everyone, my name is Tang Qi Yuan, Tang as in the soup of Tang Yuan, Yuan as in the circle of Tang Yuan1To refresh your memory, Tang = soup, Tang Yuan = glutinous rice balls, yuan = circle. This is a Chinese way of telling people how one’s name is written cos there is a lot of characters with the same pronunciation and intonation. Xiao Qi wins with his self introduction, it’s ridiculous 🤣, the reason my father named me Qi Yuan is because I ……”
Halfway through Tang Qi Yuan’s sentence, Sheng Cen sat up, he had a little bit waking up temper2tbh idk what to call this? Basically he has a bad temper when he just wakes up, either for no reason or because he was woken up., so his face looked very gloomy, his face was full of displeasure at being woken up.
He listened to Tang Qi Yuan’s self-introduction, his sharp gaze shot sullenly towards Tang Qi Yuan, he looked at him for a while, then suddenly let out a light laugh, and continued Tang Qi Yuan’s words: “It’s because there are seven fairies3仙女 (xiān nǚ): female fairy/immortal/celestial in your family, and you are seventh, so you are called Tang Qi Yuan.”
The students in the classroom roared with laughter and couldn’t help but whisper, and a few others couldn’t help but call Tang Qi Yuan ‘Little Fairy’ a few times.
Sheng Cen saw Tang Qi Yuan’s body stiffen for a moment and slightly curved the corners of his mouth, feeling a little less enraged at being woken up, his eyes waiting expectantly to enjoy Tang Qi Yuan’s annoyance.
Unfortunately, Tang Qi Yuan’s face did not change and his body relaxed after stiffening for a moment, he looked at Sheng Cen and explained in a serious manner: “I am indeed the seventh in my family, that’s why I am called Tang Qi Yuan, but our family are all boys, so you misunderstood, Classmate Sheng, it’s not seven fairies.”
The classmates were first stunned and then roared with laughter again, they didn’t expect Tang Qi Yuan to explain really seriously, as if Sheng Cen had really misunderstood.
Sheng Cen raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Qi Yuan with his eyes slightly narrowed, Tang Qi Yuan was wearing his school uniform, his clothes were meticulously buttoned up to the collar.
His waist was straight, his face was clear, his eyes were long, narrow and bright, and there was a small mole at the end of his left eye, adding a little more light to his already beautiful appearance.
Teacher Deng stood aside and smiled a little awkwardly, “Tang Qi Yuan has spoken very well, everyone be quiet, now that Tang Qi Yuan has finished his introduction, next is……”
She glanced at Sheng Cen, knowing that Sheng Cen would not be willing to introduce himself on the podium, and there was probably no classmate in the class who did not know his identity, so she turned her words around and said: “Next, adjust your seats.”
“Teacher, we’re already seated, so let’s just sit like this.” Chen Zi Zhan, who was sitting on the right side of Sheng Cen’s desk, one aisle away, shouted out.
In this class, apart from Sheng Cen, he looks the most troublesome, his school uniform was worn crookedly, and he always spoke with some dirty words. It’s said that he even had a tiger tattooed on his back, often deliberately showing it to his classmates, scaring many of them into not daring to provoke him, and he was happy to become the ‘school bully no. 2’ after Sheng Cen, and whenever he could, he tried to flaunt his might.
Teacher Deng was a good-tempered person who was also willing to understand her students. She took a closer look and felt that the positions everyone was sitting in now were okay, so she nodded and said: “Okay, then sit like this for now, and if there are anything inappropriate, we can slowly adjust later.”
She looked to Tang Qi Yuan, who came late today and didn’t have a seat yet, “Student Tang sit at……”
Her eyes looked around the classroom and finally landed on the empty seat next to Sheng Cen, “You can just sit next to student Sheng Cen first.”
Everyone in the classroom sucked in a breath of cold air, Sheng Cen had always sat by himself since his first year of high school, no one had ever dared to sit next to him, and he had never allowed others to sit next to him.
Although there is a rule in Huang Han high school that everyone here is a student, there is no difference in status, and they do not have to salute when they see Sheng Cen, but Sheng Cen is a Prince and his status is not comparable to ordinary people, and the majesty he carries cannot be ignored.
Tang Qi Yuan did not think as much as they did, so he nodded when he heard the teacher’s words and walked over. Sheng Cen was sitting on the outside of the row by the window, and the seats inside was still empty, so if Tang Qi Yuan wanted to walk over, he needed to go through Sheng Cen’s seat.
Tang Qi Yuan walked over, Sheng Cen had no intention of getting up and giving way. He leaned on the back of the chair, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at Tang Qi Yuan with a cold expression.
Tang Qi Yuan was not afraid and looked at him with downcast eyes and said, “Classmate Sheng, please move aside, I want to go in.”
Sheng Cen raised his head slightly, and from his angle he could see Tang Qi Yuan’s drooping eyelashes, the eyelashes had distinct roots and slightly upturned ends, which was a beautiful arc.
The people in the classroom were all looking at them secretly, , some with gloating smiles on their faces.
When Teacher Deng saw that Sheng Cen was not moving, she could not help but frown slightly. She and Sheng Cen’s mother, Xia Yu Lan, had been good friends for many years. She had known for a long time that Sheng Cen was difficult to discipline, but always hoped that she could lead him back to the right path, she still remembers that Sheng Cen was very well behaved as a child.
When Tang Qi Yuan saw that Sheng Cen had not moved for half a day, he tilted his head in thought and asked again: “Classmate Sheng, can you get up for a moment?”
Sheng Cen’s thin lips lightly opened, “Feet hurts.”
Some people couldn’t help but stifle their laughter, Sheng Cen refused to even think of a good excuse, he actually said that his feet hurts straightforwardly.
Tang Qi Yuan nodded, “Turns out your feet is injured, don’t worry, I know that classmates should help each other, in that case, don’t get up, I’ll figure it out myself.”
Tang Qi Yuan walked to the table behind and asked in a low voice: “Classmate, can you let me jump over you?”
“Ah? This……” The two people at the table behind looked at Tang Qi Yuan and then at Sheng Cen’s back, not knowing what to do for a moment.
The whole class froze for a moment at the same time, and even Sheng Cen blinked in astonishment.
Seeing that the two students at the table behind had turned a little white, Tang Qi Yuan had to run to the front table and ask, “Those two students don’t seem to be feeling too well either, can I cross over from here?”
Sheng Cen rubbed his brow, stood up with a black face and gave way with an annoyed expression.
Tang Qi Yuan’s mouth opened wide in surprise as he looked down at Sheng Cen’s feet, “Classmate Sheng, your feet are fine?”
“Hurry up and get in!” Sheng Cen gave him an impatient look, feeling that he hadn’t been this agitated in a long time.
“Okay.” Tang Qi Yuan hurriedly walked in and sat down, putting down his backpack and said: “It’s true that you can’t too with painful feet, so you should sit down quickly, Classmate Sheng.”
After he finished, Sheng Cen’s face visibly darkened some more, glared at him and sat down heavily in the seat next to him.
Teacher Deng smiled gratefully when he saw Sheng Cen move out of the way, “Good, everyone be quiet, in the year ahead, I hope we can all get along well and work together to grow better, in addition, the position of class president is temporarily held by Classmate Tang Qi Yuan, if there is anything, you can look for him.”
Chen Zi Zhan looked at Tang Qi Yuan and shouted arrogantly: “On what basis? On what basis should he be the class president?”
He had always wanted to get closer to Sheng Cen, so he had wanted to be Sheng Cen’s table mate, but he had been kicked out by Sheng Cen without any mercy, and now that he saw that Tang Qi Yuan had become Sheng Cen’s new table mate, he couldn’t help but feel angry in his heart, and how he finds Tang Qi Yuan so displeasing to the eye.
Teacher Deng didn’t get angry when she was interrupted. She glanced at Chen Zi Zhan and said calmly: “Tang Qi Yuan is the top student in our class, so I think he is the most suitable person to be the class president.”
Chen Zi Zhan choked for a moment, and although he was still unwilling in his heart, he had nothing to say.
“Yo! Turns out to be a study tyrant.” Sheng Cen coldly snorted lightly.
Tang Qi Yuan turned his head to look at him, pursed his lips and smiled somewhat sheepishly, “Thank you for your compliment, Classmate Sheng, but it’s too much of an honour, the sea of learning is endless, I still need to continue working hard.”
“……” Sheng Cen raised his eyebrows in silence and couldn’t help but ask: “You really think I’m complimenting you?”
“Of course, I believe you are sincere.” Tang Qi Yuan smiled and politely complimented back, “Classmate Sheng, I’ve heard that you’re the school tyrant, and you’re pretty good at it too.”
Sheng Cen’s forehead jumped, “Are you acting dumb?”
Tang Qi Yuan frowned slightly, not agreeing at all, “Classmate Sheng, you misunderstood, I am sincerely complimenting you, I once read a book, that book said that human beings compliment each other, which is conducive for unity and friendship, it also improves the efficiency of cooperation very well, we as table mates should always compliment each other in the future, to make progress together.”
Sheng Cen looked at the sincere smile on Tang Qi Yuan’s face and couldn’t speak, he rubbed his hair in annoyance and flopped down on his desk to continue sleeping. His brain must have cramped4refers to a moment of stupidity. just now to let this little nerd sit next to him.
Although Tang Qi Yuan did not approve of the act of sleeping in class, he did not bother him because of the injury on his table mate’s feet, took out his own book and looked down at it.
The two boys seated behind Tang Qi Yuan and Sheng Cen looked at each other and couldn’t help but shiver together, the school tyrant and the study tyrant sitting together is just too scary!
