On the first day of school, students were assigned to clean the classroom and their assigned area, and some were also assigned to help out at the library.

Song Yan and Duan Xueting were called upon by the teacher to go to the library.

Upon entering the library, the dust that hits you can choke you.

The books were sealed and stored away at the time. However, the entire library building was empty and covered in dust.

The cleaning has already started, and it's really dusty now. Song Yan and Duan Xueting both coughed.

Song Yan took out a mask from his pocket—actually from his storage space—put it on, and started working.

Duan Xueting was unprepared and could only cough as she worked. She saw that Song Yan was wearing protective gear and was much more comfortable working, which angered her. She thought, "How can this person be so selfish? Couldn't he have given me a heads-up?"

Song Yan couldn't read minds, so he didn't know what she was thinking. If he did know, he would definitely ask her, "Will you listen to what I say?"

Duan Xueting rarely did manual labor, and she really couldn't stand this dirty and tiring work. After working for a short while, she stood up straight and watched from the side.

Song Yan and his classmates have been working on it.

The floor was incredibly dirty, especially the nooks and crannies. A mop couldn't clean it properly; I had to use a rag by hand to wipe the edges.

When Song Yan wrung out the rag, his hands were wet with dirty water, and some water droplets accidentally splashed onto Duan Xueting's pants.

"Song Yan, did you do this on purpose? Apologize to me," Duan Xueting said.

If you accidentally spill dirty water on someone's pants, apologizing is the least you can do. But Duan Xueting not only refuses to help, but also acts all high and mighty, which is simply unbearable!

"Duan Xueting, do you know what you're here for? You're here to work, and working means you shouldn't be afraid of getting dirty or tired. If you're afraid of getting dirty or tired, you can go back. There's no need to make such a fuss here." Song Yan was thoroughly fed up with Duan Xueting.

"I'm saying you dirtied my pants, why won't you admit it?" Duan Xueting yelled, looking at the dirty water spots on her pants.

"Your pants are dirty! Fine! Take them off now and I'll wash them for you, take them off!" Song Yan said irritably.

You expect to be clean in such a dirty environment. You're clean because I've been working hard.

Each class has a fixed number of tasks. If Duan Xueting refuses to do it, Song Yan will. Song Yan feels that if he does less work because of her, and ends up fighting with Duan Xueting, making a fool of himself in front of other classes, it would be a disgrace to his class.

As a member of the group, she couldn't let the class lose face at the start of the semester. So Song Yan endured it and kept working hard.

This young lady, instead of helping, is causing trouble here. She's really spoiled.

“You made me do this in public… How can you be so vulgar? No wonder you’re from the countryside,” Duan Xueting said.

Song Yan: "I'm from the countryside, so what? The rice and vegetables you eat are all grown by rural people. Now you look down on rural people. Your family might have been from the countryside for generations. You've forgotten your roots!"

The accusation of forgetting one's roots was too heavy for Duan Xueting to say anything else. "Don't go off on a tangent. I want you to apologize to me."

Song Yan: "You also need to apologize to me. You eat the grain grown by farmers. The cloth you wear is woven from cotton grown by farmers. What gives you the right to look down on farmers?"

Many of the students working here come from rural areas. Duan Xueting's remark made many people uncomfortable.

Everyone was working, and everyone saw the female classmate who came with Duan Xueting, who was working diligently. It was obvious that since Duan Xueting wasn't doing any work, Song Yan would have to do all the tasks for their class.

This guy who's been watching the show is actually causing trouble.

The students working in the library had a very bad impression of Duan Xueting.

"How could you bully me like this? You won't apologize to me, but you expect me to apologize to you. You're the one who dirtied my pants," Duan Xueting said.

Song Yan resigned herself to her bad luck; how could she work with someone like that! It was like a kindergarten child throwing a tantrum. Song Yan ignored her and continued wiping the nooks and crannies.

"How can you be so rude?" Duan Xueting shouted.

"It's Duan! What's wrong?" A man wearing glasses, who looked to be about 50 years old, walked in.

Duan Xueting: "It's Teacher Gu! Song Yan dirtied my pants and didn't even apologize. She also... she even spoke vulgarly in public. We are all college students, she really disgraced college students."

“How could you do this, female student? Apologize to Duan right now,” said the person referred to as Teacher Gu to Song Yan.

Song Yan felt he hadn't checked the almanac before going out today. First, Duan Xueting wasn't doing any work and was causing trouble. Now, another troublemaker had appeared. But since Duan Xueting called this person "teacher," it wouldn't be good for Song Yan to directly confront him.

Song Yan hesitated and didn't speak, which immediately enraged Teacher Gu. "What right does someone who refuses to admit their mistakes have to enter this university? Who is your counselor? I'm going to report this."

Duan Xueting stood to the side, looking at Song Yan with a smug expression.

Song Yan's short temper flared up completely.

Song Yan: "You want to find our counselor? Don't just find the counselor! Find the department head too!"

"A student like you with this kind of attitude should be disciplined. What's your name?" Teacher Gu said.

"My name is Song Yan."

"I'm going to find your counselor and department head right now." Teacher Gu stormed off.

"Classmates, would you like to come with me? I don't need you to be witnesses, I just want you to hear the process." Song Yan smiled and turned to leave.

Everyone understood what Song Yan said, but because it involved a teacher, they might not dare to speak.

She doesn't need everyone to witness it; she just needs to see the process.

These words made the rural students, who were being looked down upon, feel uncomfortable. Were they and Song Yan destined to be bullied and discriminated against?

In front of them was a refined-looking teacher, and behind her was the beautiful Duan Xueting. Behind Duan Xueting were about ten students who looked disheveled.

This group of people then went on to study Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Duan Xueting had a fight in the dormitory that day, and all the female classmates knew that she was being dramatic.

All the students in the class who were working looked over.

"What's going on now?"

Upon seeing that it was Duan Xueting, Shen Ruomei thought, "It must be her causing trouble for Song Yan. I have to go check it out."

Shen Ruomei and several classmates were pulling weeds by the roadside when she dropped the weeds and chased after them!

Hao Yinzhang also refused to go, and she went with them.

Then, seven or eight students from the Traditional Chinese Medicine 7801 class who were working outside went there.

"Chen Qiang! Look at your classmates, they made mistakes and didn't apologize. How should we deal with this?" Teacher Gu said.

Chen Qiang, who was organizing the documents on the table, was taken aback.

The other teachers who were busy inside also looked over, including Director Xu.

Director Xu: "It's Gu Yansong! If you have something to say, just say it. You don't need to shout like that!"
