Qiu Miao: Habits are really scary [College riot incident]
The bruises on Wang Ge's neck made Gu Wenye feel unfamiliar with uneasiness and alertness. His intuition had always been accurate, but now, his intuition sounded the alarm, telling him that something unusual must have happened in this academy.
Gu Wenye was worried about Wang Ge's injury, so he ate some breakfast absentmindedly and then left. But Qiu Yanping, as if he had been hungry all night, had a good appetite and ate a whole fried silver carp early in the morning.
Qiu Yanping licked his lips contentedly. He had consumed too much food last night and woke up in the morning with an empty stomach. He was so hungry that he felt anxious.
It seemed that the habit of turning into a cat in the previous month could not be changed in a short time. Qiu Yanping licked the residue at the corner of his mouth, squinted his eyes, and licked the sauce on his fingertips clean.
Gu Wenye caught a glimpse of a hint of red passing across Qiu Yanping's slender white fingertips. His eyelashes trembled twice, he coughed lightly, and handed the handkerchief in his pocket to Qiu Yanping.
Qiu Yanping glanced at Gu Wenye with a slight surprise, "Oh, thank you." He took it, wiped his hands, thought for a while and felt embarrassed to return the towel stained with his saliva and sauce, "I'll return it to you after I wash it clean."
"Yeah." Gu Wenye responded.
Qiu Yanping complained in his heart that this grown man lived a very delicate life. Carrying a handkerchief with him at all times did not seem like a general going to the battlefield.
After breakfast, Gu Wenye went to teach the students, and Qiu Yanping wandered around the entire Interstellar Mechanic Academy. The academy was very large, and the gladiatorial arena alone, where the simulation of operating mechas was performed, was as large as several football fields. There were three such gladiatorial arenas, plus some indoor training halls for special physical training for students. It took a lot of effort to walk around the entire academy on foot.
The old principal was afraid of neglecting this man who was said to be eccentric and talented, so he took out his own rest time to accompany Qiu Yanping on a stroll around the college.
Qiu Yanping did not refuse the old principal's kindness. The old principal drove a SkyTrain and Qiu Yanping was happy to take a ride. It just so happened that he also had something to ask the old principal.
The old principal was a very sociable person. Qiu Yanping didn't say much along the way, but he got to know everything about the entire college through the old principal. The old principal could tell a lot of stories about the history behind each building and each venue. Qiu Yanping smacked his lips. He didn't care much about how much of the story was true or false. He admired the old principal's extremely smart Mediterranean head that could hold so many useless things.
"There are so many students in the college, but there are only three lecturers. Isn't the pressure on the lecturers too great?" Qiu Yanping chatted with the old principal.
"That's not the case. Most of the courses in our college are actually large classes, usually with an entire grade taking the class together. Small classes like the 20 to 30 students Mr. Qiu saw before are not common. Three lecturers are each responsible for one to three grades, and there are only two to four classes per day." The old principal seemed to be afraid that Qiu Yanping would think he was exploiting the labor force, so he hurriedly explained, "We pay great attention to the mental state of the lecturers, and will never overuse the teaching staff."
Qiu Yanping glanced at the old principal and thought, what does it matter to him whether the labor force is exploited or not? Anyway, he will not come here to teach, why is the principal so nervous and excited? He nodded slightly, pretending to be nonchalant and changed the subject to Wang Ge, "The old principal cares so much about the lecturer, which is a responsibility to the students and the lecturer. It's thoughtful. But I noticed that lecturer Wang Ge seemed to be a little depressed today. It's true. He was attacked by students yesterday and rushed to teach today, so he didn't have time to take care of his body."
The old principal suddenly felt a burning sensation on his face, as if he had been slapped in the face. He coughed lightly and said, "Wang Ge is the most experienced lecturer in our college. He will never ask for leave easily no matter what happens."
"Especially since he had an accident in class - but he can't be blamed that time. It was a student who ignored his warning and started the mecha when he was not there, causing the mecha to run away and his mental power to be disrupted and backfired - since then, Wang Ge has never asked for leave again, and no one can persuade him to rest. It's useless." The old principal defended his outstanding subordinate. He was a little sad when he talked about the accident. "That student was once the best graduate in our college and the one Wang Ge valued the most. After that, the student became a vegetable, his mental power almost collapsed, and he could only rely on the equipment in the medical center to maintain the most basic vital signs. What a pity, what a pity."
Qiu Yanping uttered a soft "Ah", "Is it the medical center in City A?"
The old principal nodded.
It was the top medical center where Qiu Yanping and Gu Wenye had worked before. Only the rich or noble could enjoy the top medical facilities there. Of course, Qiu Yanping got in thanks to his original status in Marshal Yuan's Mansion. Otherwise, with his unpopular research identity, no one would be willing to save him.
While Qiu Yanping was recuperating in the medical center, he heard about the young vegetative patient in the medical center. The young student was called Fu Yangsheng, and his family was a wealthy businessman. From what the doctors and nurses mentioned during their casual chat, the accident was not as simple as the old principal said.
After Fu Yangsheng's accident, everyone in the family suspected that Fu Yangsheng's accident was not what the school said, that Fu Yangsheng had acted on his own initiative and moved the mecha without authorization, and that someone was plotting to harm him. The Fu family made a big fuss about the matter, and the whole city of A used it as a topic of conversation after dinner. It was not until the old principal had to step in and force the matter to be suppressed that things calmed down a little.
However, as Fu Yangsheng's direct tutor, Wang Ge has always been harassed by the Fu family. The nurse in the medical center said that the Fu family found the apartment where Wang Ge lived, and then endless accidents happened frequently, so that Wang Ge had to move to the college, which barely stopped the Fu family's obsession with revenge.
Qiu Yanping was thinking at that time that the direct tutor was also guilty of something, as he just taught Fu Yangsheng, but the student's family insisted that he was related to the murderer.
Qiu Yanping pretended to be ignorant and asked curiously, "Is that student still alive now?"
"He's hanging on by a thread." The old principal said, "It's also thanks to the Fu family that they have the financial resources to support him to stay in the medical center half-dead. As the principal of the students, I feel bad about what happened to the Fu family, but in the final analysis, it was the student who touched something he shouldn't have touched, and no one else should bear the responsibility." The old principal stroked his half-grown white beard and sighed, "But that family has come to me several times to make trouble, and insisted on asking me to hand over Wang Ge. Just a while ago, they came to make trouble again, and destroyed the large peach forest near the cafeteria. Hey... tell me, who has offended the peach trees for no reason?"
