Chapter 48 pt 1 (1/2)

After the people left, Li Datian stepped forward to close the door, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Only Mao Badou was still filled with righteous indignation. He was so angry that he kept walking and cursing: “You dare to slander this little master. Why don’t you look at what this little master does. Trying to steal chickens but ended up losing rice1. I don’t even know which bastard is tracking me from behind!”

Xue TingRang glanced at him helplessly, sat down at the square table and poured water from the teapot to drink.

Li Datian said, “alright, alright. Stop walking. If you keep walking, the books in trousers will fall out again.”

Only then did Mao Badou react and hurriedly touched the book in his trousers. The three of them looked disgusted, especially Li Datian who hurriedly looked at what the book was like and what its name was. Then he said again: “You can really hide it. The books can even be stuffed into your trousers.”

Mao Badou said frankly: “In that case, where should I stuff it if not in my trousers?”

Xue TingRang coughed lightly: “Badou, you should still go and tidy up the things on your floor. It is about time to turn off the lights.”

Mao Badou went to clean up while Li Datian mocked him next to him: “You really have a lot of good things in your cabinet. I just saw that Zhou Li almost vomited out. How long have you kept your clothes? Why didn’t you take it back this break?”

“I forgot.”

“You stay away from me later. I’m disgusted by you.”

After some gossip, the four of them lay down again, Xue TingRang leaned against the wall in silence, but Li Datian was very unlucky because Mao Badou wanted to squeeze onto his bed out of revenge. Li Datian tried to drive him away, but Badou gave him a look that said I’m fat and take up a lot of space, so I can’t help it.

It was a quiet night.

When they went to the lecture hall the next day, there was one missing person in Class B. It was Zhou Li.

Unlike usual, quite a few students greeted the four with a very pleasant expression. There was a lot of comfort and appreciation in their words. It was obviously Xue TingRang’s performance yesterday that made many people admire him.

This was also considered a pleasant surprise, but the four of them were choking in their throats, because there was someone dealing with them in the dark. And these seemingly pleasant people in front of them, who knows if they are people or ghosts.

“Badou, you have seen what happened yesterday. Although scholars uphold the gentleman’s courtesy, it is very realistic in the end. If we can’t enter the first class, we will be inferior. If someone who enters the first class wants to harm us, it will be hard to guard against. Now this person hasn’t been found. We should study hard and get into class A as soon as possible, so that we can rest assured.” Li Datian sighed.

“Will we be worry-free after entering class A?”

“Even if we can’t rest assured, there won’t be so many people who will come out to harm you. People are based in the world, and everything can’t escape a trend. Although this academy is small, it is a reflection of the world. You get into class A and others will fear and weigh your worth. Your momentum must get bigger and bigger, so that the day when others dare not provoke you, you will naturally have peace of mind.”

Mao Badou nodded, and immediately asked curiously: “Ting Rang, how do you know so much?”

Xue TingRang was taken aback. Yes, why did he know so much? It seems that after dreaming that dream, his disposition and behavior have changed a lot.

It’s just this kind of inner complexity naturally can’t be told to outsiders. He can only smile and tease: “There are thousands of grains in a book, and a golden house in the tree2.”

“Hmph, If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it. You even use those phrases to fool me.”

All of them looked at each other and smiled, and the friendship between the teenagers was deepened between the laughter.

Lin Miao closed the scroll and left the lecture hall. Before leaving, he ordered Yu Ziyou to come to the house to find him.

The other students in the lecture hall were full of envy. To have the master teach them alone, there were not a lot of people in the whole school that could have this privilege. Even among the students who have entered Class A, there are only Yu Ziyou, Hu Lianshen and Wang Qi. There are also other students who have been individually called by the master to learn, but they are not as frequent as those three.
