The Ridiculous Daily Life of a Slacker Boy tells the funny story of Lin Ye, a struggling first-year high school student. Monday morning is a disaster from the start: he puts his clothes on backward, wears mismatched socks, and forgets the spicy strips he promised to bring for his deskmate, Wang Pangzi.
In class, he cannot recite “Memorial to Yueyang Tower,” so his homeroom teacher makes him stand in the hallway. There, he ends up “interacting” with a fire hydrant and some mop strings. He counts floor tiles in math class, and in physics his teacher weighs his schoolbag with a spring scale. During morning exercises, he slacks off while thinking about grilled sausages, and he and Wang Pangzi come up with all kinds of ridiculous excuses when teachers question them.
Their daily lives revolve around spicy strips, grilled sausages, and games. They use their goofy antics to defuse the “crises” brought on by schoolwork and teachers. This is a lively school comedy about a pair of underachievers whose grades may be poor, but whose days are never short on fun.
