Chapter 46 Reflects the Situation
Luo Zicheng's face twitched, and he pointed at Li Pengfei, yelling, "You hit someone! Li Pengfei, you just wait and see, I'm going to tell Teacher Liu right now, and I will never let you get away with this!"
Li Pengfei looked coldly at Luo Zicheng and said, "If you say another word, I'll throw a second punch."
Luo Zicheng immediately took a step back.
He hurriedly turned around and went out of the classroom.
Looking at Luo Zicheng's disheveled figure, Lu Yanhe sighed and said, "Why did you do that?"
Li Pengfei was taken aback and asked incredulously, "You can tolerate this? I only helped you because I saw you were about to make a move."
Lu Yanhe: "If I want to take action, it's my own business. Why are you helping me?"
“If you take action, that would be a much bigger problem.” Li Pengfei shrugged nonchalantly. “Taking action is commonplace for me, it’s as normal as it gets.”
Lu Yanhe was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond to Li Pengfei's words.
"Besides, I've always disliked this bastard," Li Pengfei added.
“Li Pengfei, you hit your classmate. If this isn’t handled properly, you’ll get a demerit and it will be on your record.”
Chu Saiying said calmly.
"It's enough that I didn't hold it against you," Li Pengfei replied. "I said, you've already received an acceptance letter from an American school, so what are you doing back at the school?"
Chu Saiying said, "I haven't officially decided whether to stay in China to study or go abroad. I'm preparing for both, just in case."
"Are you out of your mind?" Li Pengfei was speechless after hearing Chu Saiying's words. "You didn't even make up your mind to study abroad, so you went through all that trouble. Do you think you can still get into a good university if you come back now?"
“If I get into Yuming or Zhenhua, I will of course consider staying in China to study.” After saying that, Chu Saiying added, “But students like you who have a history of fighting are likely to be rejected by universities, especially overseas universities. If others know that you are applying to a university, as long as they send them the evidence of your fighting, your application will be rejected.”
"I have no plans to study abroad. Alright, stop nagging. I'll beat that bastard Luo Zicheng up sooner or later. Better to beat him up sooner rather than later."
"His words were harsh, but they were true, and he didn't say anything wrong." Chu Saiying glanced at Lu Yanhe casually. "Right now, you're all in school, so you think Lu Yanhe's status as an artist has all sorts of halos. But when you go to university, get a job, and see a wider world, you'll realize that these halos are just fake packaging."
Lu Yanhe: "So what do you think is the real halo? Family background, wealth, or education?"
Chu Saiying: "Whatever it is, it's definitely not the manufactured glamour of an artist. I see several artists like you at my dad's dinner table every month. They're glamorous on the outside, but at the dinner table they're like lapdogs, fawning over those with power, influence, and money, aren't they?"
Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I've never attended a dinner party like that before, I'm not familiar with it. It seems you have, which is why you act like you've seen the world and think we're all just sitting in a well and looking at the sky."
Don't you think so?
"Don't you think it's a bit pathetic that instead of studying hard and pursuing ideals and ambitions in the ivory tower, people are exposed to some less-than-glorious things and then think they've seen the world?" Lu Yanhe said. "In this classroom, some of them may become scholars, some may work for Fortune 500 companies, some may become civil servants, some may start their own businesses, and some may become writers, painters, or creators in a certain field. Of course, not everyone will become one of the top people, but the world they see will definitely be more wonderful than the world you see now."
"What makes you say such a thing?" Chu Saiying sneered. "What world have you seen?"
“I come from a small town and have witnessed the prosperity of big cities. I went from an ordinary person to an artist and witnessed the prosperity of the entertainment industry. I also went from someone who didn’t take studying seriously to someone who studied hard and witnessed the prosperity in books. I have experienced a lot of changes, so I know what kind of person I want to become. I have clearly encountered people and things that I don’t like, so I know what kind of person I don’t want to become.”
Lu Yanhe finished speaking calmly, his gaze remaining fixed on Chu Saiying's face.
"You think you've seen the truth of this world, but do you know what kind of person you want to become?"
Chu Saiying smiled.
He stared intently at Lu Yanhe.
"So this is how you deceive yourself. No wonder you can shamelessly try to climb up to Chen Siqi after you've faded from the spotlight."
Lu Yanhe smiled even more brightly than Chu Saiying.
"So this is how rumors are spread. Chu Saiying, from whom, where, and when did you find out that Chen Siqi and I are dating? Those people on the school forum believe everything they hear and make up all sorts of stories. They exaggerate, and you actually believed them?"
"Is this the source of your arrogance?"
Lu Yanhe and Chu Saiying stared at each other in the classroom. For a moment, everyone felt a strong, clashing aura between the two, and no one made a sound.
Everyone watched them uneasily.
Just as Chu Saiying was about to speak again, Lin Yu stood up.
"Are you two ever going to stop? Everyone wants to rest after lunch, but you keep talking like this, which is disturbing everyone. If you want to argue, go outside."
With an upright and unyielding attitude, she forcefully interrupted their confrontation.
Just then, Ms. Liu Qin arrived.
She appeared at the classroom door with a dark expression, her tone stern: "Li Pengfei, you come out here!"
Li Pengfei quickly replied, "Yes, sir!" and went out.
Lu Yanhe followed him out.
When Li Pengfei saw him following, he became anxious and said, "What are you doing following me out? Go back!"
Lu Yanhe: "This whole thing between you two started because of me. You expect me to just sit in the classroom and pretend nothing happened?"
Li Pengfei: "Now is not the time for you to act out of loyalty."
“I didn’t act out of loyalty, I’m being reasonable,” Lu Yanhe said. “Without me as a witness, given your criminal record, who would believe that your punch was justified?”
"Damn, you think they'll think this punch was right just because you're here?" Li Pengfei stared at Lu Yanhe in disbelief.
"Chu Saiying just reminded me of something: they may not think this punch was right, but they can't say it was wrong." Lu Yanhe said to Li Pengfei, and then walked up to Liu Qin.
Liu Qin was clearly also puzzled as to why Lu Yanhe had come along.
Lu Yanhe said, "Teacher Liu, I need to tell you about something."
