…
After the middle of the You hour, the sky was not yet dark, but the moon had already climbed up the hillside.
Rong Shihan arrived before the academy closed.
Let the servant carry the gifts he brought back into the academy.
Qingxi Academy only accepts talented people, regardless of their wealth or poverty.
Therefore, almost half of the people here are students from poor families.
I had to spend every penny carefully, so the things I lacked most were paper and ink.
Every time Rong Shihan went home, he would buy some paper, ink, brushes, inkstones, snacks and food to share with them.
On the terrace beside Qingxi Pond, Rong Shihan stood on the steps, looking down at the poor students who were receiving gifts.
Looking at the people who were grateful to him, he opened his folding fan to hide the contempt on his lips.
Poor people, if you give them a little benefit, they will regard you as their savior.
"Hey, Brother Shihan, you're doing charity again."
Of course, some rich kids looked down on Rong Shihan's behavior of helping others.
As the dean's disciple, he was already prominent enough, and he even deliberately tried to win over those poor children who would never be able to make it.
Now everyone in the academy praises him highly.
This made a group of people, led by Xie Yu'an, the son of the Marquis of Yongding, very uncomfortable!
"Brother Yu'an, you can't say that..." Rong Shihan closed his folding fan with a snap and said with a faint smile, "It's just some courtesy between classmates. Please don't say it so harshly."
"Oh!" Xie Yu'an sneered, "Reciprocity? Have you ever used even one of those shabby little things they gave you?"
"You probably don't know, but he just threw away all your stuff."
He had seen Rong Shihan secretly dislike that group of people several times.
"Although I really don't need some of them, it's their kindness and I appreciate it." Rong Shihan smiled calmly.
"I've put all those things in a box in the dormitory. If you don't believe me, Brother An, I'll take you to see it."
Although he didn't want to touch those things, he kept each one carefully in order to avoid being caught.
I'm not afraid of these people gossiping behind my back.
"Just go!" Xie Yu'an obviously didn't believe it.
Rong Shihan appears to be sympathetic to those people, but in fact, once he turns around, his hands, which have been touched, need to be washed eight hundred times!
Xie Yu'an didn't believe that he would store those worthless things like wooden carvings, poems, paintings, and sachets.
"Xie Yu'an, it's not your turn to comment on the relationship between us and Brother Shihan!" A student spoke up for Rong Shihan.
"As long as he accepts our gift, he's content. Whether he uses it or throws it away, what does it have to do with you? Why are you here to criticize him?"
They know that the things they give away are not presentable, they just give them to give people peace of mind.
Scholars are inherently proud and do not want to put themselves in the position of being helped.
But we have to bow to reality.
When exchanging gifts, you are not the one receiving charity.
Just deceiving yourself!
"Meng Fanfei, you're the one who protects him the most. I think you are..."
Before he could finish his words, the sky suddenly darkened.
Everyone looked up and saw a dense swarm of birds circling in the sky above Qingxi Pond, blocking the only light cast by the setting sun.
"How come there are so many birds..."
"Why are they only flying over our heads? What are they doing?"
Before everyone could figure it out, someone shouted,
"What's that black thing that's falling?"
When he shouted, everyone looked closely!
(This is a bit disgusting... For those of you with trypophobia, please don't imagine the scene in your mind.)
The first black thing that fell brushed the tip of a student's nose and landed on the ground.
As his eyes moved downward, he screamed in horror, "It's...it's a caterpillar..."
"Run! Caterpillars are falling from the sky..."
The next second, dense swarms of insects fell like raindrops.
Falling on students' heads, faces, shoulders...
The ones on the ground were still crawling onto the insteps of everyone's feet.
Immediately, the screams of ghosts and wolves howled resounded throughout the academy.
Taking off clothes while running.
Some of them have penetrated into clothes through the neck.
The students were running around like headless flies, and the terrace was in chaos.
The students who were not at Qingxi Pond heard the screams and ran over to watch.
Some people saw dense black spots in the sky, on the ground, and even on people's bodies. Their heads turned and they fainted immediately.
Some people couldn't stop lusting while trying to see who the unlucky ones were.
There were also kind-hearted people who went back to get umbrellas to save people.
I don't know if these caterpillars are poisonous.
Even if it's not poisonous, it will still make them itchy if it gets on their skin.
When Rong Shihan saw the first caterpillar, he reacted quickly and rushed under the tables and chairs placed for distributing gifts.
Push out those who have been hiding in there for a long time.
Then he used extremely expensive high-quality rice paper to completely cover himself just to save face.
But he blocked the front and forgot the back.
Caterpillars crawled over from everywhere on the ground like cockroaches.
The neat blue clothes were soon covered by black.
At this moment, Meng Fanfei, who had stripped down to only his underpants, held up rice paper to cover his head and shouted, "Brother Shihan, behind you, take off your clothes quickly..."
Rong Shihan then looked back and saw that the hem of the clothes was so thick that no blue could be seen. He was so scared that he almost fainted.
Fortunately, his reason told him that if he fainted here, he would become a human-shaped caterpillar.
He immediately jumped out from under the table and quickly took off his coat.
Meng Fanfei stepped on the disgusting bugs on the ground and came to Rong Shihan. He hugged him and ran towards the place where the birds were not covered, holding the rice paper.
