Chapter 066 – Achieved This Result Before! (1/2)

066 – Achieved this result before!

After seeing the siblings off, Lin Zhengyin returned to her study. Glancing at the words on the desk, she let out a long sigh: “The characters are good, the brush strokes are also strong, and it seems there's knowledge of the fundamentals. But the content—-could be better.”

“It's my fault”. Zhao Mingzhu quickly apologised to Lin Zhengyin: “When Muyang was bullied by his cla.s.smates, I did not fulfil my duty as a teacher. If I stood up for him and said a few words then, perhaps the situation won't be like it was today. The children went too far, if it wasn't for princ.i.p.al distinguis.h.i.+ng right from wrong, and that crane-riding youngster delivering the good news in time, then most likely Li Muyang would have had a hard time today.”

Lin Zhengyin waved her hand and said: “It doesn't matter. Why talk about things that has happened already? But if there's a student like Li Muyang in the future, you should pay a lot more care and attention—-and not judge who's a hero based on performance. Many heroes in the kingdom can't even or even went to school.”

“Yes. I have learnt a lesson from this experience, from now on I will treat all students equally.” Zhao Mingzhu bowed and promised.

“This is the school's fortune, also the student's fortune.” Lin Zhengyin said.

Zhao Mingzhu glanced at the strange phrases on the table and said: “Princ.i.p.al, these two lines——are we really going to carve it on the motto stone in front of the school?”

“I've said it already, how can I go back on my words?” Lin Zhengyin said with a serious expression. “But, let's just engrave the first phrase for now—-”

“Just the 'journey with wise men'?”

“Yes. This phrase is simple and clear, yet it contains the great wisdom and knowledge of life. Put it on the motto stone along with Li Muyang's results——” Lin Zhengyin said with a smiling face. “As for the second verse, for the time being let's temporarily hide it. I can see that this child's eyes show determination and his mind is clear. He had suffered humiliation up until now, but he still had not given up; he will definitely have a great future. Traveling all the way to Starry Sky, it's possible he will achieve some outstanding achievements that would be widely known to everyone—–At that time, we should then engrave the following phrase. Since at that time whatever he says will be right. Just as the kingdom's richest man Ma Yunhuao did not spread his famous saying: 'today you refuse to acknowledge me, tomorrow I will be out of your league' yet it is still widely known.”

“Princ.i.p.al, Ma Yunhuao did not say that.” Zhao Mingzhu quietly reminded.

“He did not say that?” Lin Zhengyin paused for a moment.

“Yes.” According to textual research——he did not say that. “Zhao Mingzhu did not dare to go against her superior, her voice becoming increasingly lacking in confidence.

“Take a look, he undoubtedly did not say that, but just some busybody claimed he did——-There are many gossips and rumours surrounding celebrities.” Lin Zhengyin laughed and said: “in any case, today is a festive day.”

“Congratulations Princ.i.p.al.”

“Congratulations Ms Zhao.”

The two looked at each other and burst into loud laughter.

Outside at the school gate, Li s.h.i.+nian held tightly onto Li Muyang's arm while giggling and laughing.

“Brother, how can you write such a phrase? Did you notice Miss Zhao's face back there? You know, she was also one of the people who were originally against you—-Were you trying to embarra.s.s her on the spot? Fortunately, princ.i.p.al is intelligent, she immediately talk about the structure of your writing and did not let the atmosphere become awkward.”

Li Muyang shook his head as he said: “Actually I wasn't talking about Ms Zhao.”

“Ah? Then who were you talking about? Zhang Chen and Wu Man? Students who bullied you before?”

“Yes. Not them either.” As he shook his head, Li Muyang sighed lightly and said: “I used to feel aggrieved. I never said bad words about anyone, did not do any bad things. Just that my body wasn't well and my learning ability was also not that good. Why did people always bullied me and looked down on me? After what happened today I suddenly understood many things.”

“Understand what?”

“A lot of times when you're hated or liked by someone it's not because your personality is good or bad, but rather because of your ability or background—-Look at Wuyou senior, his words are sharp and penetrating and almost every sentence he says stabs right in the chest. However, when he stood on top of the stage, how many people dared to publicly strike back?”

“Brother, do you mean to say—–” Li s.h.i.+nian's eyes were bright and beautiful as she looked at Li Muyang, her brother who she's struggling to understand more and more and asked: “Do you want to become as strong as Xie Wuyou, so that in the future no one would be disrespectful to you?”

“I want to be stronger, but not because I want people to respect me.” Li Muyang looked at Li s.h.i.+nian's sweet little face. “I just hope I can protect you, protect mum and dad from any danger and not let you get bullied—- and also not be called a trash anymore. When there's danger I can stand in front of you, rather than having you stand in front of me time and time again.”

“Brother—–” Li s.h.i.+nian held onto Li Muyang's arm tightly and said: “We're family. You're my beloved brother—–why do you say something like that?”

Li Muyang rubbed Li s.h.i.+nian's head and said: “Because you're my beloved little sister, so whatever happens I won't let anyone bully my little sister—–”

“Brother, why do I think you look more and more handsome?”

“Do you really?” A surprised expression spreading across Li Muyang's face.

“I'm lying.” Li s.h.i.+nian pursed her lips. “You'll always be my charcoal brother.”

“——-”

“Brother, do you think the princ.i.p.al will carve the words you wrote on the motto stone in front of the school?”
