Welcome Party 4.30
Yufar said, "Why don't you go after the upperclassmen who bullied you, instead of bullying the freshmen? They are innocent."
"If you don't let me bully those weaker than me, are you expecting me to overestimate my abilities and resist the strong only to be punished?"
“Innocent? Everyone was innocent when they entered Saint Ria.”
"We've all been bullied, so why should they be spared from suffering?"
Yufar didn't speak again, but just looked at everyone with sad eyes.
After an unknown amount of time had passed in this vulgar game, a nobleman went up on stage and gestured: "Stop."
As if they had heard the "Red Light, Green Light" command, everyone stopped moving.
"Now, everyone should know how to live in St. Leah, right?"
Although everyone had bruises and their expressions were unreadable, they just clenched their fists silently.
But the nobles knew that the seeds of evil had already been sown.
The next day, the school hospital was packed as usual. Many freshmen were admitted, but dared not reveal a word of it.
Although the specially admitted students still lived a life of luxury, everyone's spirit and energy were different from before.
A clear barrier of hostility had emerged among the specially admitted students.
No one knows whether the other party is a malicious, jealous competitor.
Inside the dormitory, every door was tightly closed.
Almost no one appeared in the activity rooms on each floor anymore.
The atmosphere on the forum has also subtly changed. Recently, there have been significantly more posts from new students sharing selfies.
The "Lin Xue's support group" has been silent for a long time.
Rumors circulated that within just a few days, some freshmen had used tricks to get into the beds of noblemen and kick out the upperclassmen who had bullied them at the welcome party.
Lin Xue's phone rang.
Chairman: Have you attended the welcome party? Would you like me to give you some psychological counseling? My counseling is very effective; everyone is cured instantly.
Lin Xue: Yes, the person is gone too.
Chairman: Are you still thinking about saving these people? Can you do it? I think it would be more effective for you to just blow up Saint Ria like God flooded the people.
By the way, have you noticed that your fans haven't been out for a long time?
They're jealous of you.
Lin Xue: I know, you don't need to tell me specifically.
Has anyone ever told you that your mouth is annoying?
If you don't know how to control it, I can sew it up for you.
Chairman: My little darling is sad. Come quickly into my arms. (Opens his broad chest.jpg)
Lin Xue posted a meme with the image "Mom's an idiot.jpg".
Su Mingke knocked on the door: "Hey junior! Have you finished the welcome party?"
"Um."
“Actually, you don’t need to be too sad.” Su Mingke carefully chose his words. “Not everyone was involved.”
"There were also some fools who didn't participate."
"If you're interested... we have a neutral organization that doesn't get involved in the Saint Ria conflict. I can take you there; there are a lot of nice guys there. Would you like to learn more?"
"good."
The House of Fools is an extravagant building that stands out from its surroundings.
Lin Xue was led into the conference room by Su Mingke, where she saw a group of "bookworms" studying diligently.
Most of them wore bulky black-rimmed glasses with lenses as thick as beer caps, and their lips were also thick, probably because they hadn't spoken for a long time, so their lips were somewhat swollen from lack of exercise.
"Is he... just like us?" the bookworms asked Su Mingke with suspicion.
"Yes, he hates that kind of environment where people bully each other. He just attended a welcome party and is not used to it."
“But…” the bookworms all looked troubled, “His identity is just too awkward.”
"We all decided to stick together for warmth after being bullied, but he has never been bullied. We are not the same kind of people, how can we come together?"
"And I know that many of us are secretly jealous of him."
Su Mingke said, puzzled, "Don't you all think the same way? If you're always finding fault, you'll only push your colleagues further and further away. Do you really want to abandon the strength of your partners as well?"
"President Su, you don't understand. Your family is rich, and you will never understand the thoughts of us special admission students from the lowest strata of society."
“We are not like you. Although we also suffer from the arrogance of the nobility, at least you have money and therefore confidence.”
"But we have nothing but ourselves."
"How can we, people like you, accept someone who has everything coming to us?"
"We get insanely jealous just seeing him. How can you expect us to resist doing anything excessive to him?"
"It's too cruel for us to let a group of unfortunate people see lucky people all around us every day."
"Besides, he's so strong, he can live a good life even without sticking together with us, right?"
"We have nothing left, could you give us the last bit of land?"
When Su Mingke escorted Lin Xuele back to her dormitory, he apologized to her with a dejected expression.
"I'm sorry, I was too naive."
Lin Xue gently patted his shoulder: "It's okay."
"Even people who encounter the same problem will have different perspectives."
Moreover, he was not suited to gathering with other groups of people.
People who don't share common interests won't become kindred spirits just because they suffer the same pain.
"When I first realized that I was nothing in Saint Ria, I was devastated," Su Mingke said quietly, revealing his past.
"I always wondered how an ordinary rich kid like me could survive in St. Leicester City."
"But I saw the special admissions students, a group of people in even more difficult circumstances than I was."
"At first, I was secretly pleased because I realized that I wasn't the worst off."
"But later I realized that in such an environment, as long as I don't work hard to maintain my status as a rich kid, I will fall to the same position as those admitted through special admissions."
"To maintain my status, I constantly throw parties and socialize with people everywhere."
"However, those things only had a superficial effect, but in reality they achieved nothing."
"When I really run into problems, everyone betrays me."
"I think that perhaps only when the weak band together, find a peaceful haven free from conflict, live their own lives, stay away from equality and climbing the social ladder, can they get through these three difficult years."
"But then I realized I was wrong again."
"I have spent a lot of energy and money to maintain this group, and I have traveled around everywhere, but the hearts of the members are something I cannot control."
"Before they joined the group, they were weak, pitiful, innocent, and kind; but after they found the group, they became very mean."
“They treated everyone I brought in harshly.”
"Various trials, deeming the other party unworthy to enter, and that only they themselves are pure-blooded."
"I'm starting to regret it now," Su Mingke said, pressing his aching temples. "Did I do something wrong?"
"In such an environment, is it right to only care about oneself?"
"You did nothing wrong."
"You're just a bit naive and childish."
"The sheep's kindness is only because they lack the ability to tear each other apart."
Su Mingke revealed a look of disappointment, as if to say, "Just as I expected."
"However, this naivety is not unpleasant."
Lin Xue would certainly not be unhappy just because she was rejected by the weak.
This wasn't the first time something like this had happened to him.
As an exorcist with multiple strange abilities within him, feared by ordinary people, he is described as a "half-human, half-monster".
Being feared, dreaded, or even murdered by any means necessary is commonplace.
He knew long ago that he was born unloved, destined to be a protagonist in a web novel with a mocking face.
The male protagonists on Qidian (a popular Chinese online literature platform) are all universally disliked. They can be so annoying on the street that people want to fight them; even dogs on the street want to kick them.
There are only a few days left between registering and the start of the semester.
Lin Xue liked to find a free day to wander around outside.
I had a simple breakfast of buttered bread, fried eggs, and milk in St. Regis. I walked to the bus stop early and saw all sorts of people carrying big and small bags, eagerly waiting for the bus to arrive.
The bus at nine o'clock on a weekday morning was not crowded, except for a few elderly people carrying groceries and pastries they had just bought from the supermarket.
He boarded a bus with only a few scattered passengers, sat in the back by the window, and listened to music while wearing a baseball cap.
The morning sunlight streamed through the glass, dancing across my face.
Light and shadow intertwine and shift.
Under the dazzling light, Lin Xue turned her head to the side and looked down at her phone.
The profile is three-dimensional, with a bright dividing line illuminated by the light, like a majestic mountain range.
The slightly upturned cupid's bow looked like a rolling dewdrop.
A chance encounter became the dream of countless girls.
The bus swayed and rocked, like a cradle.
It made Lin Xue feel as if she had returned to a childhood that never existed.
The window was half-opened by the previous passenger, and the wind blew Lin Xuele's hair, playfully brushing strands of hair in front of his eyes.
It's like a friend covering your eyes from behind and asking, "Guess who I am?"
When he looked out the window, he saw all the people in the scenery receding towards him.
He then realized that he was merely an observer of this world.
It's like a movie; everyone has their own script.
Office workers in suits hurry by; a little girl runs behind her grandmother with a small windmill in her hand; a modern urban woman is dressed smartly.
After getting off the bus, Lin Xue wandered around the streets and alleys and unexpectedly saw a small, inconspicuous shop selling qingtuan (a type of glutinous rice dumpling).
Eastern faces seem especially welcoming here.
The woman selling qingtuan was an elderly woman with white hair. She said she came here with her daughter who works in Shilan. She couldn't stay idle and wanted to spread her hometown's culture in a foreign land.
In Lin Xue's original eerie world, qingtuan (a type of glutinous rice dumpling) was a tool for exorcising evil spirits. Eating qingtuan would prevent evil spirits from causing trouble again—provided that the correct flavor was found. If the wrong flavor was given, the evil spirit would become angry and demand another qingtuan.
