King of Trash - C1

When I was five years old, my mom ran off with another man. My dad spent all day drinking and worrying about it, but he ended up with a work-related accident that injured his leg. After I was fired from the factory, my dad started collecting trash for ten years.

This group of people were robbers. After they were done, they ran away. It was a short period of time. I hid behind a tree and did not dare to breathe. The area that my family lived in was never a good place for public security. Robbery cases often occurred. Although I recognized Teacher Sun, I didn’t dare to go out. Very quickly, Teacher Sun and that man frantically drove their cars and left.

“You guys …” Teacher Sun suddenly paused, and I saw that her eyes were fixated on Zhou Xiaowei’s hand.

Zhou Xiaowei was brought away by the Teacher Sun, and I was sitting in the classroom for less than five minutes when Zhou Xiaowei returned. He walked to my seat, extended his hand out and patted my face: “Don’t think that everything is fine, we are not done yet.”

I looked at him and Zhou Xiaowei glared: “What are you looking at, Teacher Sun is asking you to go over.”

My heart skipped a beat. I knew it must be the USB drive.

I lowered my head and looked at Teacher Sun’s long legs. Teacher Sun was wearing a skirt that reached to his knees and black stockings, so I didn’t dare look at him too much, but turned my eyes away. On Teacher Sun’s desk was a photo of his family, and when I saw the photo, I was stunned.

“Where did you get this USB drive?” Teacher Sun opened his mouth.

My mind was already in a mess, I looked towards the Teacher Sun in a daze, then turned around and stared at the entire family. I wanted to confirm, I’m afraid that I saw wrongly.

“Answer my question, where did you get this.” Teacher Sun asked sternly.

“I picked it up.” I cringed.

“Where did you pick it up?” Teacher Sun continued to ask, then immediately waved his hand: “Forget it, don’t say anymore.”

Teacher Sun suddenly stood up. “Wang Haoyu, I believe you are a good child, I know Zhou Xiaowei is bullying you, and I have already criticized him just now. In the future, if he bullies you again, you will tell me, teacher will make the decision for you.” As Teacher Sun spoke, he used his hand to touch my head. When Teacher Sun’s hand touched my neck, I felt a warm and soft sensation.

“Thank you, teacher.” I said gratefully.

“I know your family’s situation. I’m usually too busy at work, so I don’t have enough care for you. I apologize to you, but I’ll be more concerned about you in the future. Just listen to me.” When Teacher Sun’s hand touched my face, I felt my body tremble.

Since I was young, there has never been a teacher who was this gentle to me. I received the most reprimand, and at that moment, I felt a peculiar sense of gratitude towards the Teacher Sun.

“Alright, let’s go to class.” Teacher Sun rubbed my head.

I turned around and was about to leave when Teacher Sun suddenly said, “Wang Haoyu, remember to be the first one to tell me if you have anything else to say in the future.

I nodded my head heavily.

Returning back to the class, the moment I sat down, Zhou Xiaowei walked over.

“What did laozi’s cigarettes say!”

“I really don’t have any money.” I avoided Zhou Xiaowei’s gaze.

“That’s your problem. Just wait for laozi if you can’t see the cigarette before school today!” “Bang!” A fist hit my desk.

“Zhou Xiaowei, why are you always bullying Wang Haoyu, this is too much!” A girl stood up from the seat in front of me and spoke to Zhou Xiaowei.

“Shen Yiran, is it related to you? Who cares, do you like the Wangpu? Why do you keep speaking up for him?” Zhou Xiaowei said loudly.

A few of the surrounding students broke out in laughter. When Zhou Xiaowei said this, Shen Yiran’s face flushed red. Shen Yiran is our student council member, her grades are good and she is beautiful, Zhou Xiaowei said it on purpose.

“Wang Haoyu, are you a man or not? Why are you so useless? You are taller than Zhou Xiaowei, what are you afraid of?!” Shen Yiran suddenly shouted at me.

I smiled bitterly, I didn’t think Shen Yiran understood it at all. Zhou Xiaowei was a Class Tyrant, he wasn’t the only one, but there wasn’t anyone in the entire school who would help me.

Seeing that I did not say anything, Shen Yiran stomped his feet in anger and sat down, Zhou Xiaowei laughed complacently.

I spent the entire lesson thinking how to solve Zhou Xiaowei’s problem. Zhou Xiaowei was very tyrannical, he said that taking care of me was not a joke, after class I went to the Small Supermarket at the school gate, I planned to take a pack of cigarettes.

After entering the supermarket I begged She Yan from the boss, I pressed my electronic watch down on the boss’s shop, but the boss was only willing to give me another bag of 10 dollars, that electronic watch was actually collected by my dad, the boss was very polite.

After taking the cigarettes, I went to find Zhou Xiaowei. After class, they would normally be at the back of the restroom in the school, and when I went there, I found Zhou Xiaowei. There were a total of five of them, and the other four were all Zhou Xiaowei’s attendants.

I took out the cigarette, and Zhou Xiaowei cursed, “What the f * ck is this cigarette?!

“I really don’t have any money left. Next time, just wait until I have enough.” I begged.

“Your mother!” Zhou Xiaowei took the cigarettes, then tore open the package and put one in his mouth for each person.

“Scram!” Zhou Xiaowei spat at me.

I turned around and walked away. Just as I took two steps, Zhou Xiaowei suddenly called out to me.

“Wangpu, what happened to the USB in the morning?”
