The male ghost is called Zhou Xingchen, and he is a student in a class in the first year of high school at the school where Qin Huaishu teaches.

He is the type who is a little smart, but not practical or hardworking enough.

He barely passed the high school entrance exam and was admitted to the county middle school. Logically speaking, it was not easy for him to be admitted to the best high school in the county. He should study hard to live up to his high school entrance exam results.

But Zhou Xingchen did not think so. On the contrary, he felt that if he could be admitted to the county middle school, even if he was only at the last place, it would be enough to prove that he had a strong learning ability and a high IQ.

Otherwise, why did so many people fail to get into the county middle school, but he was the only one who passed?

His parents also had similar ideas as him.

Even if my son barely got into the county middle school, he still got in.

Others say that as long as he gets into the county middle school, he has one foot in the door of some university. At the very least, he can get into a key university. My son will definitely be a successful person in the future!

Zhou Xingchen's parents only have him as their child, so they can't help but spoil him a little. In addition, their son's admission to the county middle school made them proud in front of relatives and classmates, so they were naturally more tolerant and doting on their son.

With all the bragging from his parents, Zhou Xingchen's already proud heart soared to the sky.

Even after several small tests and monthly exams after school started, his scores were far below the class average, but Zhou Xingchen did not take it seriously.

It doesn’t matter if he does poorly on the test. This is not the college entrance examination anyway. He can just take the test when the time comes.

He is so smart, I will definitely be able to pass the test if I review it carefully.

He just spent a month reviewing for the high school entrance exam and was easily admitted to the county middle school. Wasn't that easy?

With the example of the junior high school entrance examination, Zhou Xingchen is very confident about his college entrance examination.

Teacher Qi doesn’t think so.

The first year of high school is the time to lay the foundation. If the foundation is not laid, the difficulty of reviewing later will definitely be doubled. How could it be possible to get into university by just reviewing casually as Zhou Xingchen thought?

If this is true, then other candidates don’t need to go to school. They can just study on their own for a month and take the college entrance examination.

Moreover, the teachers have been teaching for so many years, so naturally they have seen many students like Zhou Xingchen.

They think they are very smart, and relying on that little bit of intelligence they may have achieved some good results in exams.

But learning ultimately requires hard work and seriousness, taking one step at a time. Otherwise, many times it may seem that one has mastered the problem, but in fact, if one changes the numbers or the order, the problem becomes a type that he has never seen before.

Zhou Xingchen’s homeroom teacher’s surname is Xu, and he was the male teacher who asked Qin Huaishu to help check the dormitories that day.

After realizing that Zhou Xingchen had these problems, he called Zhou Xingchen to his office after a monthly exam out of responsibility for his students, intending to talk to him about his problems with his learning attitude.

He earnestly explained many truths to Zhou Xingchen and also brought up the experiences and lessons of previous seniors, but Zhou Xingchen did not listen to him at all.

In his opinion, he is just himself, completely different from others.

What does it have to do with him that those people failed in the end? The fundamental reason for their failure is that they are stupid, not as smart as him, and do not have strong self-learning ability as him.

Seeing that Zhou Xingchen was completely unresponsive, Teacher Xu felt very disappointed. At the parent-teacher meeting after the midterm exam, he couldn't help but tell his parents about the situation.

Zhou Xingchen's mother repeatedly said that she would tell him about it, but in fact she just mentioned it to her son casually. After her son impatiently said that he knew it, she didn't say anything more.

My son is so smart, it must be an accident that he didn’t take the exam this time or twice. He will definitely take it in the future.

He thought it was just a small matter, but Zhou Xingchen felt that he was being sued by Teacher Xu and was extremely upset.

Later, the more he looked at Teacher Xu, the more he disliked him. It was so embarrassing for a grown man to complain behind someone's back!

So he began to oppose Teacher Xu in every way.

For things like not paying attention in class and not doing homework, Teacher Xu initially called him over to inquire about the situation. Later, seeing that he was nonchalant and didn't seem to care at all, he called his parents again.

After his parents found out, they did tell their son. Zhou Xingchen still said the same thing, he knew.

The two of them didn't say anything else and chose to continue to believe their son.

However, Teacher Xu gradually lost hope in Zhou Xingchen because of him and his parents' attitude.

He has told him many times and thought of many solutions. Even the parents have been notified, but Zhou Xingchen still doesn't change. What else can he do?

He is just a teacher, not a savior.

And in addition to Zhou Xingchen, he is also responsible for other students.

In the end, Teacher Xu stopped forcing Zhou Xingchen and let him take control of his own life, only giving him appropriate punishment when he violated the rules.

For example, if you don’t do your homework, you will be made to copy the text; if you talk in class, you will be made to stand in the corner; if you bully your classmates, you will be made to write a self-criticism, and so on.

The grudge between Zhou Xingchen and Teacher Xu grew deeper and deeper.

Of course, this is just Zhou Xingchen’s unilateral opinion.

He felt that Teacher Xu was deliberately targeting him.

Otherwise, he had done the same thing before, but he was not punished so severely. Isn't he deliberately targeting him?

What really made Zhou Xingchen's anger erupt was that he went to the canteen to buy snacks that morning and was late for class.

On the morning of Zhou Xingchen's death, he went to the canteen and bought a few bags of snacks, intending to eat them secretly in Teacher Xu's class later.

I bought a little too much and was late by accident.

When he returned to the classroom, Teacher Xu had already started teaching at the podium.

Seeing Zhou Xingchen standing at the classroom door with snacks in his hand, Teacher Xu confiscated his snacks on the spot and then asked Zhou Xingchen to stand at the back as punishment.

Such scenes are already commonplace for the students in the class.

They had seen Zhou Xingchen disobeying discipline countless times, and they might even find it strange if he didn't stand in the corner as punishment one day.

Therefore, when Zhou Xingchen was punished to stand there that day, no one thought there was anything wrong, and even Teacher Xu didn't take it to heart.

Zhou Xingchen is the type of person who is not afraid of boiling water.

But that day he was caught by Teacher Xu at the classroom door, and the scene of him being made to stand in the corner as punishment was seen by the girl he had a crush on.

The girl was in the classroom next to his. She went to the infirmary because she was not feeling well that day, so she was a little late when she returned to the classroom.

When she passed by the door of Zhou Xingchen's classroom, she saw Teacher Xu punishing Zhou Xingchen, and she seemed to frown.

When Zhou Xingchen saw this scene, he felt extremely embarrassed!

Especially when I saw her frowning, I felt a rare sense of shame in my heart.

She must have felt that she was stupid and a bad student, and she must have a bad impression of herself!

Zhou Xingchen felt that being embarrassed in front of the girl he liked was even more embarrassing than having the whole school see him being punished!

When Zhou Xingchen thought about how his image in her heart was ruined, he began to feel irritated, and then this irritation gradually turned into anger.

Naturally, he transferred his anger to Teacher Xu.

He thought, if Xu hadn't confiscated his snacks and asked him to stand in the corner as punishment, he wouldn't have been seen by the girl he secretly loved, and he wouldn't have been embarrassed in front of her and his image would have been damaged!

All this is because of the man named Xu!

If he hadn't deliberately targeted me, this scene wouldn't have happened!

For a moment, the resentment that had been pent up towards Teacher Xu surged up.

The more Zhou Xingchen thought about it, the angrier he became.

He felt that Xu must pay the price!

He was just relying on his status as a teacher to target and punish him, thinking that Zhou Xingchen was just a student and couldn't cause any trouble?

Haha, he didn't bother with him before, it was just because he was too lazy to take him seriously.

But with all the anger in the world piling up, he decided not to endure it any longer!

So he began to plan.

He vowed to let the man surnamed Xu also taste the pain of being bullied by others because of his status!

It happened that day that it was Teacher Xu's turn to check the dormitories, and Zhou Xingchen came up with a plan that was very beneficial to him.

He planned to use a "death threat" to escalate the situation and let everyone know that he was being targeted and bullied by Teacher Xu and had no way to escape his "clutches", which forced him to do such a thing.

He did this all because of Teacher Xu!

At noon that day, Zhou Xingchen asked a day student to help him buy a large bottle of iodine.

The student agreed readily without asking any questions.

After Zhou Xingchen got the iodine tincture, he put it in the dormitory. He was still worried, so he used his mobile phone to check a lot of relevant knowledge again. He confirmed that iodine tincture would not kill people after drinking it, and only then was he completely relieved.

He didn't really intend to die. He just wanted to drink iodine to scare others and ruin Teacher Xu's reputation.

So I will definitely not do anything that will affect my life.

After checking, he deleted the records for fear of being discovered.

Just thinking that Teacher Xu's reputation would be ruined by him after a while, that he would be despised by everyone, that he would become the culprit of the "campus case", and then be expelled and become a disgrace to the education community, he felt a sense of relief in his heart!

After evening self-study, he immediately returned to the dormitory.

All he had to do was wait, and when the time was right, he would start implementing his plan.

Zhou Xingchen believed that this plan would definitely succeed.

Even if Mr. Xu was not fired in the end, if this incident got out, he would always have a stain on his reputation.

When other parents and students see him in the future, they will remember that he once targeted a student and almost caused that student's death.

But what Zhou Xingchen didn't know was that the person who came to check on the dormitory that night was not Teacher Xu, but Qin Huaishu.

When Qin Huaishu came to check on Zhou Xingchen, he was in the toilet.

When he came out, he asked his roommate whether the teacher had finished checking the dormitory.

Zhou Xingchen felt relieved only after getting confirmation from his roommate.

After most people had gone to bed, he finally set off.

The reason for choosing this time was naturally to create the illusion that he really was "seeking death" and died by drinking iodine in an atmosphere of "despair and hopelessness".

If he drinks before the lights are turned off, he will definitely be stopped by others, and it will not be a big deal!

So Zhou Xingchen went to the small balcony in the dark and started drinking iodine tincture one sip at a time.

At the same time, he was also thinking about how to show that he did this because of others, and he had to leave evidence.

So he started writing in his memo, all of which were filled with resentful words, to serve as his "last words".

After all, you have to do the whole show.

I didn't expect that I would vomit out the iodine I drank before I wrote a few words.

Zhou Xingchen thought, wouldn’t vomiting it out be the same as not drinking it at all?

So he could only continue to drink while suppressing his nausea. In the end, he vomited after taking a few sips, and had to continue drinking after vomiting.
