Chapter 590: Isolated (for the birthday of book friend "Xiangsidou1968")
Bai Shan looked at Wei Chen curiously for a long time, and finally dug him out from his memory of yesterday. So he was particularly curious, how did these two become friends within a day?
But that doesn’t matter. What matters is that this person seems to be unaware that he is being targeted by the school officials, so most of his classmates have isolated him.
Bai Shanbao rolled his eyes and greeted Wei Chen enthusiastically, "I don't know where you are from, Brother Wei. My ancestral home is Longzhou, and I grew up in Mianzhou."
"Then we are both from Jiannan Road," Wei Chen was also very enthusiastic. He had not had time to make friends since he enrolled yesterday. Except for a classmate in the same dormitory, he didn't know anyone.
The classmate who shared the same dormitory with me wasn't even in Class C1, so...
Wei Chen introduced himself, "I'm from Longzhou. Speaking of which, Longzhou and Mianzhou are not far apart."
"Well, it's closer than Mianzhou." Bai Shanbao looked at the book in his hand and asked, "Brother Wei didn't come to class today. Did he go to buy books?"
"Yes, thanks to Miss Zhou's help, otherwise I would have to spend half a day looking for it tomorrow."
Bai Shanbao grinned and said, "Actually, the teacher didn't give much of a lecture today. He just let us read and practice calligraphy on our own. Some of my classmates didn't come to class because they went to buy books. I estimate it will take another three or two days before the class officially starts."
You know what, Wei Chen was actually relieved.
Bai Shanbao very kindly invited him to their home, saying, "My master once studied at the provincial academy, and he knows everything there is to know. If Brother Wei has any questions, why not ask my master?"
Wei Chen's heart was moved.
Manbao glanced at Bai Shanbao and invited him warmly, "Go, go, Aunt Rong must have made a lot of delicious food today."
Aunt Rong is the cook in their family.
Wei Chen was even more excited. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I have to go tell the Tong family, otherwise he will panic if he can't find me."
Manbao: "Then we'll wait for you outside the gate."
"Okay." Wei Chen agreed, turned around and walked quickly towards the dormitory supervisor. When visiting for the first time, he always had to bring some gifts.
Fortunately, when he came to Yizhou City, his father prepared a lot of good things for him, some of which were specifically used as gifts.
The supplies I gave to the school officers before have not been used up yet, so they are just right to be used now.
Manbao followed Bai Shanbao out of the provincial school. Daji had already parked his carriage across the road and was waiting.
He was surprised to see Manbao following Bai Shanbao out of the prefectural school.
After greeting Daji, the two leaned against the carriage to talk. Manbao was puzzled, "Why are you so enthusiastic about Wei Chen?"
"Didn't you introduce us?"
"Yes, but I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic." After all, they grew up together. Although Bai Shan is usually naughty and lively, he is very shy when facing strangers. He will not take the initiative to speak unless it is necessary.
Moreover, he is very wary of strangers and rarely takes the initiative to make friends. Whenever he speaks, it is either because Manbao leads him, or he has watched for a long enough time and only speaks when he feels he is able to speak.
But just now, he didn't let Manbao take him with him, and he took the initiative to make friends with Wei Chen.
This is very abnormal.
Bai Shanbao looked around and snorted, "I don't know how to attract the attention of the school officials and my classmates. They don't talk to me much. Only Kang Xiaodong comes to talk to me occasionally."
Although Bai Shanbao doesn't like talking to strangers, the feeling of not liking to talk is different from being targeted and not talked to.
Moreover, he had a deep memory of this kind of thing when he was a child, and he could sense it keenly as soon as the feeling appeared.
When you are isolated and targeted, you naturally don’t feel anything when you don’t know it, but once you know it, you will definitely feel bad.
So Bai Shanbao was in a bad mood all day.
If he were a child, no matter how upset he felt, he would hold it in, respond to those people with disdain, and then fight back when they came to cause trouble.
But now, although he would still respond with disdain, he would no longer care as much as when he was a child. He would keep it in mind all the time, making himself anxious and angry.
Originally, he wanted to go back and talk to his husband, but when he saw Manbao and then Wei Chen, he changed his mind.
Isn't it just isolation?
Who is afraid of whom?
There will be an exam in the middle of the year and a big exam at the end of the year. The results will not only affect the class placement for the next year, but also whether one can continue to stay in the provincial school.
If a student fails two consecutive major exams, he or she will be expelled from the provincial school and return to his or her hometown to continue his or her studies.
Bai Shan said, "Kang Xiaodong is the only one in the class who's willing to talk to me now, but we're just casual acquaintances. He wouldn't offend anyone else just for me. And now Wei Chen has arrived. As long as I have two friends in the class, others won't dare to bully me too much."
Bai Shan sneered, "Let's wait until the mid-year exam to decide everything."
"Isn't that a quiz? You have to wait until the end-of-year exam to separate into classes, right?"
"What if my grades are among the best?" Bai Shan said, "I've thought it through. If my grades are really good, I'll go find Uncle Lan and use his connections when necessary. I don't bother to argue with that group of people."
Manbao applauded, "Well said, a bunch of idiots who only know how to isolate themselves. There's no need for us to bother with them."
"Then I'll help you," Manbao thought for a moment and said, "Go back and copy down your class schedule. I'll study with you and help you fill in the gaps. I'll also help you find information in the bookstore. I don't believe you can't beat them in the exam."
Bai Shanbao was also ambitious and held out his hand, "It's a deal!"
Manbao clapped his hands and shouted, "A gentleman's promise is as good as gold!"
Wei Chen happened to come out with the Tong family and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing, let's go. Do you want to go in your own carriage or take my carriage?"
"Let the Tong family drive the carriage and follow." Wei Chen followed them into the carriage and spoke.
"When did you come to Yizhou?" Wei Chen asked, "I arrived in the city seven or eight days in advance, but I couldn't even rent a courtyard, so I stayed in an inn."
Manbao said, "We arrived more than a month in advance. Are houses on Kangxue Street so scarce now?"
Wei Chen sighed, "It's said that this year there are more students enrolled than in previous years, and most of them have chosen to live outside. Unlike in previous years, most students from other places would choose to live with the dorm supervisor."
Manbao sighed, "It seems that all the new students enrolled this year are very rich."
Wei Chen looked at them strangely and said, "Aren't you rich too?"
Otherwise, he wouldn't have rented a house outside. You know, he has to live with the warden now.
Manbao and Bai Shanbao looked at each other, smiled, and said modestly: "We are not rich, we are just lucky, lucky."
I wish my book friend "Xiangsidou1968" a happy birthday. May you have this day every year and get younger and younger.
Well, I am indeed a flatterer.
I originally wanted to update six chapters as requested by Mo Yan, but I didn't take a nap today and I'm too tired. I decided to continue updating five chapters tomorrow.
Good night
