Chapter 45

Before the two major publishing houses fought to publish Li Ye's novel, the rumors about Li Ye in the Repeat Class 1 were noisy and had a tendency to spread throughout the school.

But after Dong Yuejin came, these rumors were like spider webs scorched by fire, disappearing without a trace in a flash.

Things like "Li Ye doesn't study in class and writes love letters," things like "Li Ye doesn't study in class and messes around with objects," now thinking back, they were so ridiculous.

Was he writing love letters? Was he engaged in literary creation, okay?

Was he messing around with objects? Was he messing around with banknotes, do you understand?

As for Li Ye not helping his classmates with questions in time, that was also because he was immersed in literary creation, winning glory for the vast number of teachers and students of County No. 2 Middle School, which was excusable and could be forgiven.

Thus, many people who were determined by Li Dayong and others to be "ungrateful wretches" and stood with Xia Yue's small group actively came to find Li Ye to chat, trying to restore their relationship.

"Li Ye, I knew you were busy with serious business at the time. You busy first, you busy first; my questions aren't urgent. Just explain them to me when you're done."

"I won't be done today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."

"Then... the day after that?"

"Do you really want me to say I don't want to bother with you to be happy?"

"..."

"Li Ye, we are all classmates in the same class; a little misunderstanding before is nothing. I don't mind, and you won't be petty and mind, right?"

"No, I mind very much, especially petty."

"..."

Li Ye only used half a day to make all the ungrateful wretches autistic.

Then, naturally, there was a chorus of curses.

【I knew he wasn't a thing; Xia Yue was absolutely right. He's just a Huang Shiren. Doesn't he just earn a little money from royalties? He even looks down on people.】

【Calling him Huang Shiren is cheapening him; I think he's Zuo Shandiao, cutting himself off from the people and cutting himself off from the masses.】

Li Ye was originally a person who wore Reebok and smoked Daqian Sect, and now he suddenly exploded and got thousands of yuan in royalties. In the eyes of others, it was impossible not to be jealous.

It was human nature; it wouldn't be because everyone was a pure-hearted teenager that they could avoid the human nature of "not worrying about scarcity but worrying about inequality."

Of course, if Li Ye were lenient to others at this time and got along harmoniously with everyone, or even shared small favors, then everyone would also magnanimously forgive him,

But Li Ye not only didn't give face to everyone's "goodwill" but also didn't know how to mingle with the masses, so wasn't he cutting himself off from XX and cutting himself off from XX?

Thus, the war of words in the Repeat Class 1 started again. Li Ye's loyal little brother Li Dayong, plus the newly recruited dog-leg Fu Yingjie and others, argued back and forth with Xia Yue and others.

Although when the teacher was in class, both sides were well-behaved and didn't dare to act presumptuously, but once it was self-study class, they guaranteed to make everyone restless, and in the end, even the teacher was alarmed.

Teacher Luo stood on the podium with a dark face, his sharp eyes sweeping over the 49 quails in the class, plus one Li Ye and one little mute.

Don't look at Li Dayong and others arguing happily usually; if they really met the teacher's eyes, not one of them dared to explode.

"The whole school can hear your shouting. What's the matter? You're all full and have nowhere to use your strength, and want me to loosen you up, right?"

"Loosen up" was local Qingshui County slang, meaning "loosen your bones,"

But this wasn't the "Thai-style bone loosening" that made the whole body comfortable, and the teacher wouldn't give you point pressure, kneading, chopping, or stepping and kneeling,

A meal of big ear slaps plus kicking feet, and tears and snot could all be tossed out of you.

Everyone didn't speak. Teacher Luo looked at Hu Man: "Monitor, what's going on?"

Monitor Hu Man stood up with a dark face and said: "Report to the teacher, Xia Yue and the others gave Li Ye nicknames and cursed people, so we couldn't take it and argued with them."

Xia Yue immediately said: "Teacher, Hu Man is lying. We didn't argue because of nicknames;

Li Ye affected the class unity and didn't accept our correction... Hu Man deliberately covered for him..."

Hu Man panicked in her heart and argued: "Teacher, Li Ye didn't affect the class unity; he was just too busy to have time to explain questions to everyone..."

"Wrong, Hu Man is lying. We spoke to Li Ye properly, but he spoke to us with evil words..."

"Yes, Teacher Luo, Li Ye and Li Dayong and the others formed a small group, deliberately splitting the class students into two factions. When Xia Yue was the monitor before, we never had this situation."

The situation in the class showed signs of being out of control.

Teacher Luo didn't stop it immediately. Since Xia Yue's monitor position was changed, Class 1 had never been peaceful. He watched coldly, wanting to see clearly how big the contradictions in the class were.

And the main body of the contradiction was undoubtedly Li Ye and Xia Yue.

Xia Yue, sitting in the front row, lowered her head as if her mood was very painful, but if someone could look up from under the table, they could see her triumphant smile.

【Hmph, you don't know how big the power of the masses is at all!】

And Li Ye, who was at the center of the storm, looked at the group of impassioned classmates, indifferent like a sculpture.

"Teacher, we argued with Li Ye, and he and Li Dayong wanted to hit people... He is Zuo Shandiao, with bandit habits..."

"Clatter~"

Li Ye suddenly stood up, moved to the side of Zhou Chenggong in the front row in two or three steps, and grabbed this unlucky guy who didn't have eyes.

"What are you doing... let go..."

Zhou Chenggong was speaking vigorously when he was suddenly grabbed by Li Ye and dragged away from his seat, and he was immediately terrified and waved his hands and feet.

"Li Ye, what are you doing? No violence allowed!"

Study Committee Member Jin Shengli stood up and scolded Li Ye.

But if you looked closely at his palms, you could clearly see the trembling of his fingers.

During the war of words in the past few days, Li Ye had always remained silent, and only Li Dayong, this "lackey," took the lead in confronting Xia Yue, Jin Shengli, and the others. Everyone thought that Li Ye, this great writer, had changed his temper and become a gentle person.

But when Li Ye suddenly became barbaric, they realized how scary Li Ye was when he became fierce.

Zhou Shengli was even more scared.

【How dare he? The teacher is present... how dare he?】

He didn't have any conflict with Li Ye before; it was just because he wanted to copy a test paper from Wen Leyu that day and was glared back by Li Ye, so resentment grew in his heart.

Later, Xia Yue said Li Ye was not united, and Zhou Shengli felt Xia Yue was right, and his temper went crooked unconsciously.

But Zhou Shengli really didn't think about going against Li Ye!

At this moment, being suddenly grabbed by Li Ye, he was so panicked that he was about to cry.

【So many people are cursing you, why do you only grab me? You should capture the leader first!】

But no matter how wronged Zhou Shengli was and how he struggled, he couldn't break free from Li Ye's hostage-taking.

He was dragged by Li Ye like a piglet, bumping into other students' desks along the way and knocking paper and pens all over the floor.

And at this time, Teacher Luo on the podium had just reacted.

But Li Ye was unmoved, dragging him all the way to the front of the podium, and even facing Teacher Luo's severe eyes, he was not afraid at all.

"Come, explain to Teacher Luo why you called me Zuo Shandiao? And why did you call me Huang Shiren? Who taught you?"

"I... I didn't... not... waaa~~"

Zhou Chenggong was actually an honest child; it was only under Xia Yue's instigation and encouragement that he dared to curse Li Ye as "Zuo Shandiao." Now, facing the dual mental suppression of Teacher Luo and Li Ye, how could he remain calm?

Looking at Teacher Luo's dark face and thinking of Li Ye's tough fist, Zhou Shengli cried out on the spot.

Teacher Luo's teeth were almost bitten to pieces. He didn't need to guess to know that these two nicknames had an inseparable relationship with Xia Yue.

But Xia Yue had already made a self-criticism last time. If this was pursued again, and the Academic Affairs Office was ruthless and recorded it in the file, it would ruin this child.

In this day and age, it was really not easy for a girl who could reach high school and have top-notch grades.

Li Ye saw Teacher Luo not speaking and guessed his intention.

So he said calmly: "Teacher Luo, I really don't understand why, from the first day I came to Class 1, I have been targeted,"

"Giving me nicknames, I endured it. I never take the initiative to find trouble for others; it's always others who find me first,"

"But what did my tolerance get in return?"

"Now they actually want to put the name of affecting unity on my head. Teacher Luo, you wouldn't not know how sinister the hats of Huang Shiren and affecting unity are, right?"

"What do they want to do? Are they using the tricks from a few years ago to force me to transfer?"

"..."

Li Ye's words were not loud, and his tone was not impassioned, but they sounded full of cold meaning in everyone's ears.

And Teacher Luo also suddenly widened his eyes, his face full of solemn expression.

Transfer, Li Ye actually proposed to transfer.

This was a consequence Teacher Luo had completely not expected and absolutely could not bear.

Li Ye had already officially signed a publication contract with Lanhai Publishing House, and his name had already been reserved in the educational achievement report of County No. 2 Middle School this year, and this name could even be used for many years.

County No. 2 Middle School could only send two or three students to college a year; this report was already hard to write. If this item was removed, Principal Chang could close the door and spray Teacher Luo to death.

"Li Ye, don't be so sensitive, and don't be so excited. Students joking around doesn't necessarily mean there's any malice,

The class is a collective; everyone should help each other. Look... if you take the time to explain questions to everyone, then perhaps the misunderstanding of disunity won't happen..."

Teacher Luo still wanted to resolve the contradictions within the class, so he patiently persuaded Li Ye.

But Li Ye laughed coldly: "Teacher Luo, do you think that since I'm already Huang Shiren, I still have to help people and explain questions to people?"

"..."

Teacher Luo felt blocked; Li Ye's words were too choking.

But he couldn't refute Li Ye.

If this happened to him, he couldn't endure it either.

This was like someone riding on your head and still making you help him unzip his pants to poop.

Not taking a knife to chop off this grandson's chicken was already restraint.

"Li Ye, come out for a moment."

But as a teacher, Teacher Luo had many things he couldn't help, so he could only pull Li Ye out to persuade him patiently.

"Student Li Ye, I can understand your mood; you feel wronged and resentful, and you're not wrong,

However, everyone came here for the college entrance examination. If even the class order can't be maintained, how can they study?

If I give Xia Yue and Zhou Shengli a major demerit, wouldn't the hatred between everyone become even deeper?

You are all classmates; you can help each other after entering the workplace in the future. Li Ye, just be magnanimous once... reconcile!"

Li Ye looked at the sincere Teacher Luo and shook his head slightly: "Teacher Luo, the nickname Huang Shiren hasn't appeared for a day or two. I believe the teachers in the school wouldn't have heard nothing, but the result is really regrettable,"

"You can not give Xia Yue and Zhou Shengli a demerit, but calling their parents over once isn't difficult, right?"

"Not difficult," Teacher Luo said immediately: "I will have them call their parents tomorrow, criticize and educate them properly, and absolutely won't let the hateful nickname spread in the school again."

Li Ye nodded and said again: "In addition, we are also here to learn, and we also need a quiet learning environment, but now it seems very difficult, so..."

"So what?"

Teacher Luo's heart tightened; he was very afraid that Li Ye would say the two words "transfer."

"So we won't come to self-study class in the future!"

"You guys?" Teacher Luo asked in surprise: "Who else? What do you mean by not coming to self-study class?"

Li Ye said: "Teacher Luo, actually I have already told my family about the situation in the class. In order for me to study with peace of mind and write with peace of mind, they cleaned up a warehouse for me to use at the No. 2 Grain Store opposite the school."

"Hu Man, Li Dayong, Fu Yingjie, and the others have already had contradictions with Xia Yue and the others, and it's impossible to reconcile in a short time,"

"It just so happens that the No. 2 Grain Store has a large space and a stove, and there are no restrictions on turning off the lights at night. If we squeeze in, seven or eight of us are just right."

Teacher Luo hissed and said: "This... isn't appropriate, right?"

Li Ye said: "We still attend classes normally, just not coming to self-study class, and they still return to the school dormitory to sleep at night."

"Then... I've wronged you, Li Ye."

Teacher Luo agreed.

Originally, many day students didn't come to evening self-study. Li Ye taking Hu Man and Li Daye, these "troublemakers," to avoid Xia Yue would at least not cause them to quarrel again and affect everyone's study, and the class would return to its previous calm.

Although this might be a bit unfair to Li Ye, this was already the method with the least impact today.

"Heh, if you can't afford to offend, you can only hide."

With Li Ye's current status and ability, it was impossible to expel or give Xia Yue a major demerit. Using the old man to deal with a female student who hadn't even grown her hair, the old man would look down on him.

As for "hiding," it was a plan Li Ye had already drawn up.

The chaotic self-study environment had seriously affected his writing and his study. Continuing to consume internally with a "child" like Xia Yue would only affect his grades and those of the few partners around him.

Li Ye was not a saint, but he was not a heartless person either.

Fu Yingjie, Hu Man, and others were already at odds with Xia Yue. If he just slipped away, their situation in the class wouldn't be too good.

To be a person, one must be kind; to treat friends, one must be even more righteous.
