Chapter 16: The Self-Contained Person Loses Control
After being persuaded to leave by the school doctor, Cheng Xingzhou chose not to stay in the infirmary. Fu Liangxia didn't have any major issues, and he wouldn't be needed any longer, so he continued to deal with the unfinished business.
And those two culprits.
Thinking of this, Cheng Xingzhou couldn't help but think of Fu Liangxia who was lying on the hospital bed, her pale face and thin figure.
...so frighteningly fragile.
Cheng Xingzhou's feet were full of energy, and the frost in his eyes seemed to be tangible.
“Da da da—”
The sound of hurried running could be heard from behind, and then Xue Changgui was heard panting and saying, "President, everything has been done as you said."
Xue Changgui looked at the president's expression. Although he noticed something from the president's unusual attitude towards the girl, he did not expect that the president would impose such a severe punishment.
Heavier than any before.
Xue Changgui was lost in thought, following him and thinking about the relationship between the two, when he saw the president suddenly stop, turn a corner with a gloomy face, and walk towards the boxing gym.
What, what's going on?
Xue Changgui didn't understand what was going on and scratched his head in confusion. Then he heard someone from the front: "Call those two people over."
? !
No way, President, this could really kill people!
Xue Changgui was startled by the meaning of his words, and the thought that flashed through his mind was -
The relationship between the president and that girl is indeed unusual.
A person who used to be in control has lost control to this point...
Xue Changgui sighed and asked someone to find Kang Jin and Li Yuanfan.
Here, Kang Jin and Li Yuanfan had just received the notice of expulsion and were in the midst of extreme despair when suddenly two tall and strong boys wearing student union badges stood in front of them.
"Did...did the president change his mind?" They were anxious, yet secretly hopeful. They hoped the president would show some mercy and let them go.
After all, similar things have happened before, and even more serious ones. Otherwise, the special admissions students in the school would not be so afraid of them.
But no one has ever received such a severe punishment as expulsion. At most, they would have to write a self-criticism, call their parents, or be suspended from school for reflection.
Dropping out of St. Lander... not only does it mean not being able to enjoy St. Lander's top educational resources, but it also means losing your connections in school and being shut out of the upper class society.
More importantly, no school in the country is willing to accept students who have been expelled from Saint Lander. They can only find ways to spend money to study abroad in high school and apply to universities there.
This was not difficult for Kang Jin, but it was a desperate situation for Li Yuanfan, who came from a poor family.
Moreover, even if they could study abroad, what would happen after graduation? They would have to come back. They had lived here since childhood, and their parents' connections were all here. If they didn't return, they would have to start all over again abroad, and they naturally didn't have the ability to do that.
Then I can only return home.
But the records of them being expelled from Saint Land will be with them for the rest of their lives. Any chaebol that has cooperated with Saint Land will not accept such a graduate or such a partner.
Whether they work for others or take over the family business, their paths are basically dead, and all that's left for them is an unsolvable desperate situation.
Kang Jin still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. He secretly thought that although President Cheng seemed a little unkind, he was the one who followed the rules the most. The rules stipulated how to deal with them, and he would never overstep the line.
Maybe he suddenly realized that the punishment on them was too severe and wanted to withdraw it, so he asked someone to call them back.
However, Li Yuanfan was not as optimistic as him. He noticed the look in Cheng Xingzhou's eyes when he looked at Fu Liangxia. That look... frightened him.
He vaguely realized in his heart that Cheng Xingzhou would never let them go.
The look in his eyes was definitely not innocent.
But asking Li Yuanfan to just accept his fate? That was impossible. He was already rotten in the gutter, so he didn't care about a few minor misdeeds.
But he didn't want to stay in the stinking ditch alone, he had to find someone to take the blame for him.
Kang Jin beside him was still cautiously testing the waters: "Will the president revoke our expulsion? I... I can suspend my studies, even for a year, or even repeat a grade. Please don't expel me..."
Like a beggar.
Li Yuanfan didn't expect that Kang Jin, who always acted so high and mighty in front of him, could show such a despicable side. As he watched coldly, he felt a kind of torn pleasure in his heart.
It turns out that the so-called rich people are just like them, their self-esteem can be shattered and fed to dogs at any time.
—In front of more powerful people.
"I don't know." The student union member who came to lead the group said expressionlessly, "The president only said to take you there."
Amidst a mixture of anticipation and uneasiness, Kang Jin and Li Yuanfan were brought before Cheng Xingzhou.
At first, Kang Jin had some unrealistic fantasies in his mind, but as they went deeper and deeper until they were taken into the boxing gym, he vaguely realized that something was wrong.
A strong sense of unease came over me.
Then, Kang Jin saw the boy standing on the platform.
Cheng Xingzhou was standing there quietly, looking down at him. The thin-rimmed glasses he usually wore had been taken off at some point, revealing a pair of eyes that were so beautiful that they could make one lose oneself.
He stared at him with those eyes, standing with his back to the light. An inexplicable sense of oppression enveloped his whole body, making Kang Jin almost want to kneel down.
The next moment, Kang Jin heard him say, "Come up."
"thump!"
Kang Jin thought he was really scared and knelt down, but when he turned around, he found that it was Li Yuanfan kneeling diagonally in front of him, crying and saying that he was only forced and that he was the main culprit, and begged Cheng Xingzhou to let him go.
The posture was so disgusting that Kang Jin instantly remembered how he was in the same miserable state yesterday when he was beaten by Fu Shao and his men.
But Kang Jin didn't despise him. If pleading would work, he would even kowtow. Because this wasn't a face-saving matter like dropping out of school. Cheng Xingzhou... he was the provincial Sanda champion in his weight class!
You'll really die if you get hit by his punch!
Kneeling down and kowtowing were useless, as Kang Jin and Li Yuanfan were forcibly carried up by the strong man.
"Do you have anything to argue about?" Cheng Xingzhou flexed his wrists, his eyes calm, but his tone seemed to be asking them if they had any last words.
"No……"
…
Fu Liangxia had no idea what happened in the boxing gym. She slept in the infirmary for the whole morning before she felt her fever had subsided a little and was now just a mild low-grade fever.
But it was still drizzling outside, and Fu Liangxia didn't want to move, so she sent a message to Fu Liedong asking him to bring her some food.
"Sister, why are you in the infirmary again?"
"If you can't speak, shut up."
She said this as if she wanted to go in.
Seeing Fu Liedong come in, Fu Liangxia closed the workbook in her hand. No wonder she was so hardworking even when she was sick. There was not much time left before the math competition selection mentioned in the book, and she needed to recall these knowledge points as soon as possible.
Fortunately, she was not very old before she traveled through time, and she had not forgotten all the competition knowledge. She could remember it after familiarizing herself with the question types.
It was just that Fu Liedong was a bit noisy. He sat at the dining table beside the bed, shoveling rice into his mouth while mumbling, "Look what I said. If you had admitted your mistake to Brother Su earlier, maybe this wouldn't have happened today."
Considering her illness, Fu Liedong bought her pork bone ramen, which was very light, so light that Fu Liangxia had no appetite.
She picked up two at random and twirled them around with her chopsticks. "So, what you're saying is that I'm responsible for this today?"
"That's not what I meant." Fu Liedong shook his head anxiously, "Then it must be those bastards who are wrong."
He quickly stated his position before Fu Liangxia lost her temper, then whispered, "But you don't know how crazy Su Ge's supporters are. Their methods are ten times worse than what you experienced today. Someone was even forced to commit suicide by them before..."
As if he had thought of something bad, he suddenly stopped talking. After a moment, he said, "Anyway, don't underestimate the power of F4 and their fans."
"knew."
Fu Liangxia thought silently in her heart, how could she not know that the limited-time mission of the "Su Xingshu Support Club" has not made any progress so far.
But what could she do? There was no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. She could only fight against the enemy with her own army and block the water with earth.
But it’s not entirely a bad thing. If used well, it may become a good opportunity to increase your favorability.
It's just a matter of planning well.
The conversation about Su Xingshu ended here. Fu Liedong knew that his sister was very righteous and had her own ideas, so he changed the subject.
"Are you going to tutor Fu Haoyao tonight?"
Fu Liangxia ate a few bites and didn't want to eat anymore. The rest was taken over by Fu Liedong. Seeing him wolfing down the food, she felt a little disgusted: "Well, what's wrong?"
"There's some bad rumors about Brother Su, and they might have reached Fu Haoyao's ears."
Fu Liangxia: "What do you mean?"
"Some people on the forum think you're deliberately trying to attract Su Xingshu's attention, hoping to step on him to get ahead and become a hot topic."
Fu Liedong carefully considered his words and quietly observed his sister's expression. "Fu Haoyao hates scheming people the most. His previous teacher was involved with his father... I'm afraid that if someone with ulterior motives stirs things up, he'll have a bad impression of you."
It turns out there is another reason for this. When I read the book before, it only wrote that Fu Haoyao was very resistant to Bai Kewei who came to be his tutor at first, but it did not write in detail the reason.
"But I'm not short of money, so you shouldn't think I'm like those tutors, right?" Fu Liangxia frowned.
Fu Liedong: "It's hard to say. Theoretically, it is true, but Fu Haoyao is a very suspicious person. It's hard to say whether he has any different ideas from normal people."
Fu Liedong left after having dinner with her, and also helped her ask the teacher for leave in the afternoon.
Fu Liangxia stayed in the infirmary to continue studying. She also watched the video Fu Liedong had recorded during class. His notes were really hard to read, but the equipment was clear, so it was no different from listening in class. After the class, Fu Liangxia felt sleepy again and fell asleep again.
What she didn't know was that Su Xingshu came to see her while she was asleep, but because she was sleeping, he stayed for a while and then left.
Time quickly came to evening. When Fu Liangxia woke up from her sleep, she saw a new message on her phone, which was sent three minutes ago.
【Fu Haoyao: Come out, I'll be waiting for you at the school gate.】
