Chapter 35 (2/2)

When the school security guard saw that the matter was under control, especially since both professors were present, he decided to leave with the nurse.

This was just a small fight. In fact, the security guard did not know why the student Zhou Xiao had called the infirmary and the security office after notifying the professors.

“I’m sorry, Zhou Xiao. It was our mistake today. We are sorry. Please forgive us.”

Chen Hansheng and Zhu Chenglong apologized publicly, but Zhou Xiao remained silent.

“I’m sorry, Zhou Xiao.”

Chen Hansheng apologized loudly again, but Zhou Xiao still did not say anything. Guo Zhongyun and the other professor looked at each other before the former said, “Since Zhou Xiao doesn’t want to forgive you now, let’s not force it. Go back to your rooms and check back in later.”

Eventually, the crowd dispersed and the two professors walked back towards their offices. Along the way, they lit their cigarettes. As they smoked, Zhou Xiao’s professor suddenly said, “I was not expecting that.”

“You noticed too?” asked Guo Zhongyun.

“Wasn’t it obvious? Your class president was obviously taking the blame for someone else.”

Guo Zhongyun sighed. “I had just heard about the students’ union incident this afternoon. Your student is too narrow-minded, and my class president’s too wild.”

Zhou Xiao’s professor nodded. “Zhou Xiao is quite smart, but he is quite narrow-minded. This incident wasn’t that big of a deal but I hope he will learn something from it. Otherwise, he will suffer when he steps into society.”

In Guo Zhongyun’s opinion, students never really considered how they would fare in society. They usually focused more on their achievements rather than their personality. Just as the two professors went their separate ways, Guo Zhongyun suddenly asked the other, “Where are the letters my students wrote?”

“What, are you worried I’ll slip it to upper management behind your back?”

Guo Zhongyun smiled and took the letters. “The president has been very busy these days. Let’s not bother him with such minor incidents.”

…

Chen Hansheng and Zhou Xiao did not know that their professors have decided to sweep the matter under the rug. Zhou Xiao only regretted not getting more physical so that their injuries were worse and Chen Hansheng would get a proper punishment.

“You go back first,” said Chen Hansheng suddenly to Zhu Chenglong.

Zhu Chenglong wanted to say something but decided not to. Once he was gone, Chen Hansheng remained to help clean up Zhou Xiao’s room.

Zhou Xiao sneered. “You don’t have to pretend to be kind.”

Chen Hansheng couldn’t be bothered with him. It wasn’t until he was almost done that Chen Hansheng turned towards Zhou Xiao before he left and said, “If you weren’t a university student, I wouldn’t have bothered with you even if you died in front of me.”

Zhou Xiao was shocked when he heard that. Chen Hansheng made it very clear that once they had entered society, Chen Hansheng would not hold back if something like this happened again.

When Chen Hansheng was about to get to the door of his room, the boys in his class had all gathered in the corridor. They already knew the reason for the whole incident.

Zhu Chenglong had already realized his mistake as he timidly said, “Hansheng, I didn’t mean to…”

Wham!

Chen Hansheng suddenly kicked Zhu Chenglong hard in the back of the latter’s leg before the former walked back into the room without another word.

The boys helped Zhu Chenglong up. He held in the pain as he simply clenched his teeth and rubbed the spot where he was kicked. He was still debating whether he should go in and apologize again.

The others did not know what to do. In the end, the pretentious Jin Yangming stood up, pushed his glasses up his nose bridge with his middle finger, and analyzed the situation out loud. “I think this is a good thing. Since Hansheng kicked you, it means that he has forgiven you.”

Zhu Chenglong thought that explanation made sense too so he pushed the door open and limped into the dormitory. He looked around and found Chen Hansheng smoking.

“Class President, I’m really sorry. I was reckless after drinking. I even had you to take the blame for me.”

Chen Hansheng turned around and looked at Zhu Chenglong, whose face was full of guilt. The former shook his head and threw a cigarette to him.

“Well, the reason for your actions was not entirely wrong. He shouldn’t continue being the deputy officer of the external relations committee.”
