Chapter 7, Conflict

However, the good times did not last long

Fang Ying hugged her knees and leaned against the welded iron sign, asking, "Why do you always ignore Kong Zhenzhen?"

Jiang Xichi paused.

She is not a bad person. I have known her since elementary school; her family is quite wealthy, but her parents are divorced, and no one takes care of her

Zhang Jun : `` ... ... ''

Fang Ying paused for a moment, said not a word, wiped her face, and unsteadily stood up

Wei Ming elongated his voice to mockingly say, "The world of geniuses is beyond our reach"

As the bell for the last class rang, Fang Ying slowly made her way back to the classroom

Helplessly, I walked out of the small shop and crossed the playground towards the teaching building

Fang Ying reached out and patted, "Sit down."

It is inherently inappropriate to use a mobile phone during class

There is no ... ...

The last class was a class meeting, and I figured it wouldn't matter if I didn't attend. My feet had already taken the first step towards the cafeteria and the convenience store to look for someone.

A sharp command: "Shut up!"

No one in the classroom dared to speak for a moment

I see that you are becoming increasingly bold! Sleeping openly in class in front of the homeroom teacher! Stand up!

"Are you really that afraid of dirt?" Fang Ying pulled a handful of long grass, "It's not dirty, besides, when you were a child, you crawled all over the ground, and you probably even picked up things from the ground to put in your mouth."

a brand new Nokia mobile phone

The next class is English. By the end of the entire class, Fang Ying still has not returned

Boys are indeed a bit stronger, and besides, Fang Ying has a "cold" today, so in the end, it was still Jiang Xichi who managed to pry it open.

The classroom fell silent for a moment

Fang Ying said gloomily, "... I accidentally bumped into the corner of the table."

Do not sit

Jiang Xichi carried a backpack slung over his shoulder, slightly tilting his body to the side

Jiang Xichi stared at her, "Is there someone ... ... "

Wan Zilin pleaded: "Teacher Zhang!"

How to deal with it

Turning around, he walked to Wan Zilin's desk, placed the SIM card down, and then stood in front of the blackboard at the back, punishing himself by standing there.

Wei Ming's temper flared up immediately, "What do you mean?"

With a vague "mm," Fang Ying slowly raised her head after a moment

Zhang Jun put down the chalk and wooden ruler, and stepped down from the podium

Wei Mingmeng took a step forward, pushing Fang Ying's desk with a harsh sound. He raised his hand and grabbed Jiang Xichi by the collar.

What are you doing

Teacher Zhang

The desk suddenly shook

She smiled, yet she could not clearly articulate the reason for her smile

As soon as Aying opened her mouth, she was about to cry again

Jiang Xichi's gaze swept over Wei Ming's face without any emotion, yet within this indifference lay a sense of arrogance, as if to say, "You are indeed nothing but scum"

Wei Ming glared at Jiang Xichi with an angry expression, and after a moment, she huffed and released her grip

Fang Ying remained silent for a moment before saying, "Do not look down on others"

After a moment, Wan Zilin came over. She originally had double eyelids, but after crying for a long time, her eyes had swollen into single eyelids

They will not come

Fang Ying stopped: "Wei Ming."

Wei Ming and Kong Zhenzhen also came over

Jiang Xichi walked over, paused for a moment, and then bent down to push with his hand

Seeing that Jiang Xichi did not speak, she took it as his agreement, "Then I will put your name down."

Fang Ying said nothing, watched him brush off the grass clippings from his clothes, returned to the runway, and headed towards the classroom

No, she raised her eyes and looked seriously into his eyes, "It was a collision."

Fang Ying raised her head high, looking at him in a provocative manner

Although it is early September, when the autumn heat is at its peak, Fang Ying seems to feel a bit cold, tightly wrapping her sleeves around herself

Zhang Jun was interrupted, glancing sideways at his phone, he paused and said, "... this text message is interesting, you all listen ..."

Fang Ying responded slowly with a soft "um"

Zhang Jun raised his chin and asked, "Fang Ying, do you have any questions?"

This class was vibrant and colorful, with everyone excitedly gathering in small groups to discuss.

Wan Zilin wiped her eyes, took a step forward, and shook Fang Ying's arm, saying, "Ah Ying, could you please go look for Zhang Jun again..."

Fang Ying squinted at him, "Why?"

Ding ding ding

Wei Mingyi, filled with indignation, exclaimed: "Why does Zhang Jun have to be involved in so many matters!"

For a moment, Jiang Xichi saw her slowly raise her face, her brows furrowed tightly beneath the brim of her hat

Zhang Jun stood before her and said, "Take out the items."

Jiang Xichi looked around, while Wan Zilin was sobbing loudly with her head on the table. Kong Zhenzhen and Wei Ming both gathered around to comfort her

Fang Ying picked up her backpack and said, "Let's go." Her gaze swiftly swept past without looking at Jiang Xichi.

Fang Ying took it, opened the back cover and battery with a couple of clicks, removed the SIM card, and then put it back in.

The English teacher tucked the textbook under her arm, stepped down from the podium, and walked to a position diagonally in front of Jiang Xichi, saying, "Come with me to the office."

Jiang Xichi spoke in a cold tone: "Why pay attention to her"

What are you doing! Crazy person!

Oh, does he have the right to insult scum?

Fang Ying strode to the podium, her sleeves enveloping her hands, her hat pressed down over her brows, without uttering a word, and directly snatched the mobile phone from his hand

Zhang Jun shook his head, seemingly heartbroken, "Tsk tsk, not doing well in studies, yet skilled in these matters of male thieves and female prostitutes... At such a young age, how can one be so shameless? Wan Zilin, I put this out here..."

Are they your friends

... ... The addition and subtraction of negative numbers, everyone should have mastered it, right? Let's quickly do a few mental math problems. "Zhang Jun looked at the roster posted on the desk, 'Wan Zilin, 3 - (-3), what is the result?'

Wei Ming thought for a moment, shook his head, "I haven't figured it out yet... We can plan it out, and definitely make him embarrass himself thoroughly..."

Zhang Jun frowned, "What were you just playing with your head down?"

Zhang Jun let go with a hiss

Jiang Xichi: "What happened?"

My spoken language is not good

A cold and indifferent voice interjected, "Isn't that a bit excessive?"

Fang Ying felt a genuine "thud" in her heart

In an instant, he reached out and removed the hat from her head

However, no one saw Fang Ying's figure

The sky is a deep blue.

Fang Ying turned her head and said, "You still don't have a single friend up to now..."

Fang Ying noticed it, the Nokia 7620 that Wei Ming mentioned a few days ago

... ... ''

Wan Zilin's fingers were tightly gripping the table

Wan Zilin was also taken aback, her face turning pale in an instant

Zhang Jun was almost fainting from anger, his face contorted, as he raised his hand to point at Fang Ying, "You, come with me to see the head teacher!"

The timely sound of the class dismissal bell broke the tension

It's nothing, it should be returned to you by the end of the semester

Wan Zilin hurriedly stood up, flipping through the pages of the book a couple of times, and then looked around at her classmates as if seeking help

A "patch" of white gauze was placed on the top of the head

Do you know what a friend is? If you encounter trouble, will Wan Zilin be as busy helping you as you helped her today?

She thought that Wan Zilin would at least ask her what the principal had said to her

She handed the paper to Jiang Xichi, "There is an English speaking competition in October, would you like to participate?"

Wei Ming pondered for a moment, then suddenly leaned in closer and said in a lowered voice: "Shall we deal with him?"

Jiang Xichi interrupted her: "What does it have to do with me"

Jiang Xichi went to break her hand

She placed the duckbill cap, which had been pulled off by Jiang Xichi, back on her head, shifted her bottom slightly forward, leaned back, pressed down the grass, and lay down.

Fang Ying held her phone in one hand while using her fingernail to dig into the flesh of his thumb, applying such force that she nearly tore the skin away from the area.

The English teacher smiled and said, "Your foundation is indeed better than that of your classmates. Rest assured, before the competition, I will definitely provide you with special training."

Some students had not yet left, and when Fang Ying opened the door, everyone momentarily turned to look at her. She paid no mind to it and went straight back to her seat to start packing her things

Jiang Xichi stared at her for a long time, then stood up and said, "Let's go back to class."

She did not retort, and Zhang Jun was momentarily taken aback, but he said nothing further and continued with the interrupted lesson

I turned back and went to the office of the director of instruction. Standing at the door, I glanced inside, but Fang Ying was not there; I then went to Zhang Jun's office, and Fang Ying was also not there.

... ... it's almost done

Jiang Xichi responded with a simple "mm"

Kong Zhenzhen echoed: "Exactly! I have never had a teacher like him before"

She was somewhat entranced, her gaze following a cloud as it was torn apart by the wind, resembling a long tail trailing behind it

Fang Ying was caught off guard, her gaze filled with anger; however, she did not scold him, but instead raised her hand immediately to press against her head

Zhang Jun flicked his sleeve, returned to the podium, and threw his phone onto the desk. "Class, we will not have it today. Instead, let us have a serious discussion about the issue of discipline. The school year has started for nearly a week, and I have noticed that some of you have not yet adjusted your identities and clarified the purpose of your studies... chatting, playing on your phones, reading extracurricular books! Do you think you are studying for my sake? Let me tell you, if you do not get into university, what will be your fate? The school year has started for nearly a week, and I have noticed that some of you have not yet adjusted your identities and clarified the purpose of your studies... chatting, playing on your phones, reading extracurricular books! Do you think you are studying for my sake? Let me tell you, if you do not get into university, what will be your fate? In the future, you will be the dregs of society!"

Take it out! Zhang Jun pushed her back with his hand and reached into the drawer to feel around.

Fang Ying was taken aback

At that moment, he discovered a person crouching behind the enormous sign on the playground that read, "Education is the world in front of us, oriented towards the future, and towards modernization"

Fang Ying, Wan Zilin, please have your parents come over this afternoon

Fang Ying's voice behind the mask contained a smile, "Not much, just don't want to go back to class."

Fang Ying was leaning on her knees, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten up, "See, I didn't make you dirty, did I?"

Fang Ying raised her eyes and lazily said, "Just sit for a while, your grades are so good, missing one class won't set you back."

Upon arriving at the office, the English teacher took a piece of paper from the drawer and said, "I heard from Teacher Zhang that you only lost two points on your entrance exam in English?"

Jiang Xichi felt as if he were suffocating

The gentle breeze sways the wild grass sprouting from the ground, while the sound of a physical education teacher's whistle can be heard from a nearby class.

Jiang Xichi cast a downward glance, fixating on his hand, still haughty and utterly indifferent

He slammed the phone onto the table, raised his eyes, stared at Zhang Jun, and said word by word, "You are the real scum"

Jiang Xichi left the office in a state of agitation, preparing to return to the classroom. At the stairway, he paused again, a face that had previously troubled his mind flashing through his thoughts.

Jiang Xichi did not respond, stood up, and said, "I am going back to class."

Wan Zilin pouted and said, "But..." she paused for a moment, "the phone is still new, I have only used it for less than a day..."

Jiang Xichi looked at the ground overgrown with wild grass

Fang Ying laughed heartily, grabbing his arm and pulling it down with force, causing Jiang Xichi to stumble and sit down abruptly.
