45 The Inferior Student of the Class (1/2)
Cutting off the call, Shi Feng immediately ate his instant noodles and hurried to school.
When he was on the road, Shi Feng finally recalled this incident. It was one of the reasons that caused his parents to fall gravely ill.
In Shi Feng’s previous life, he and Blackie joined Shadow Workshop. When Zhao Ruoxi called him to go to the school, he chose to continue playing God’s Domain instead of going. He joined Shadow Workshop after much trouble. If he wanted to rise in position within Shadow, he needed to have a good performance. How could he have the time to care about small matters that happened in the classroom?
As a result, his university recommendation became nonexistent. Although it was just a recommendation, it could allow students to find better jobs. The stress levels of the current society were extremely powerful, and jobs were not easy to find. Such a recommendation would be a stepping stone towards the higher levels of a company.
Shi Feng’s parents were deeply worried after they found out about this incident.
It was also because of such worries that caused the mental stress on his parents to increase substantially. Only, Shi Feng’s parents never revealed it to him. Instead, they encouraged him. They didn’t want him to worry about their household debts. As a result, they became both physically and mentally exhausted, falling gravely ill a year later.
In this life, Shi Feng did not wish to repeat such a disaster, even if the recommendation was absolutely useless to him. However, he also wished to know the reason that caused him to lose the recommendation.
Shi Feng was considered average regarding results amongst his class. There were absolutely no problems with him obtaining the recommendation. He did not have a share in it. The only reason he could think of, for such a situation, was the incident that would happen today.
After walking into the university, Shi Feng discovered a very interesting situation.
The school was crowded; there was an abnormal number of students in the university today. Usually, there would not be that many people within the university grounds. The students would usually study in the library or gather outside to have some fun. Worst case scenario, they would just stay in their dormitories and play games. Unlike the current situation, they wouldn’t normally come out for a stroll.
When Shi Feng walked towards Teaching Block 3, he discovered that the normally empty classrooms were packed with people. All of them were fully occupied.
“What is happening today?” Shi Feng was puzzled.
The moment Shi Feng entered Classroom 401, he could feel the air in the room was slightly odd. His classmates all shifted their gaze towards him, their expressions filled with astonishment. Shi Feng was like something that should not be there, yet had actually appeared.
The male students only glanced at Shi Feng. They did not pay him any attention as they continued with their conversations.
Meanwhile, some of the gorgeously dressed females in the class sent Shi Feng expressions of disgust. However, Shi Feng had long since gotten used to such reactions. When he was about to turn around and look at them, the females immediately turned their heads away.
“Fellow student Shi Feng, you’re here. Find a place to sit. When fellow student Ling Feilong arrives, everyone in the class will be present.” The female monitor, Zhao Ruoxi, had a calm expression on her face when she spoke to Shi Feng as if it was all just for formality’s sake.
However, Shi Feng could faintly feel a hint of expectation in Zhao Ruoxi’s eyes when she turned around to look at him. However, that expectation was not targeted towards him, but most probably towards the Ling Feilong she spoke of.
“Alright.” Shi Feng nodded his head, simply choosing a corner to sit down in. As for sitting and starting a conversation with the other male classmates, Shi Feng could tell it would be impossible just by looking at their expressions.
In regards to such a situation, Shi Feng could only let loose a bitter smile. In his previous life, he truly has failed at being a functioning human being...
However, there was nothing he could do. To save money, he never participated in any of the student gatherings or class events. He had long since become an invisible existence within the class. In the eyes of his classmates, Shi Feng might be a very reclusive person.
“Why is this person here?”
“The class monitor should be the one who notified him. I never thought he would actually show up.”
