Chapter 84: Kick the brother bitch away and invite that gentle teacher to have tea (15)
"Have you heard about the new school doctor at our school?"
"The new school doctor? Who is it? What's up?"
Today is Saturday, and the military cadets have a rare opportunity to catch their breath and stay in the dormitory to communicate.
"I read a post yesterday, and that really good-looking school doctor got in through the back door."
"Doctor Li? That's impossible." The boy frowned when he heard this, a little unconvinced.
"You still don't believe me? That post is so accurate, I think it's pretty accurate," the speaker snorted, moving a stool to sit in front of the others. "Tell me, when has our military academy ever had a case of someone being hired without an interview? Besides, our academy is considered an important institution in the empire. Whether it's doctors or teachers, they're full of talented people. How talented must that Doctor Li be to be able to be parachuted in?"
"I think Dr. Li's medical skills are quite good, so please don't say such things."
The boy who spoke rolled his eyes and shared the post to the class group using his laptop. "You can see for yourself, believe it or not."
Several people in the dormitory were skeptical. Although they didn't quite believe it in their hearts, they still opened the post.
Just as the boy said, the post was really detailed, saying that Li Ziyan got the job at the military academy by taking the lead in getting the position as a guide for other outstanding medical students, using backdoors and exchanging his body for money.
The words used in the post weren't particularly offensive, but they portrayed Li Ziyan differently from the image most people had of him: someone eager for quick success and hypocritical. Many people on the post expressed their disapproval of Li Ziyan, calling the rumors false, but some, after all, took them at face value and manipulated the situation.
This incident caused a big stir among the military cadets of the year. They had few courses and had just entered university, so their understanding of many things was not mature enough. Although they had the drive of young people, they were also easily exploited by people with ulterior motives.
However, the protagonist in this story knew nothing about this. Li Ziyan was not the kind of person who cared about gossip, and he was not familiar with the interstellar forum, so naturally he didn't know that he had caused a secret bloody storm.
Gu Chengze devoted himself to academic studies, and after two months of getting along, Li Ziyan had occupied a large part of Gu Chengze's heart, and he no longer paid attention to other things.
By the time Gu Chengze discovered this, things had already reached a climax. A military academy student using an anonymous account had left a comment on the post, saying that Li Ziyan had taken her brother's spot and was now deliberately stealing someone else's boyfriend, which was shameless.
"Teacher Gu, are you going to eat?"
"Well, do you have any questions?" Gu Chengze glanced at Li Ziyan who was standing at the classroom door waiting for him, smiled slightly, and motioned the other party to wait for him.
The classmates sitting opposite him all frowned.
"Teacher Gu, you'd better not go with that guy. He's not a good person."
Gu Chengze frowned suddenly, but before he could say anything, someone got angry.
"What are you talking about?" The girl with a high ponytail said sternly, her eyes filled with anger. "Do you guys have the ability to judge for yourself? What gives you the right to say that about Dr. Li?!"
"What's wrong? He did it and he won't let people talk about it! It's clearly stated in the post, but you brainless face-hungry people just don't believe it!"
"you!"
The two groups were about to start arguing. Gu Chengze pushed up his glasses and patted the podium, "What are you arguing about?"
"Teacher Gu, what's wrong?" Li Ziyan was standing at the door, able to see what was happening inside the classroom. Seeing that something was wrong, he hurried in. "What's wrong, everyone?"
"Hey, Dr. Li, who is in a physical position, is here?" The man's words were full of sarcasm, and he spoke without restraint, regardless of who was around.
Li Ziyan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but Gu Chengze frowned fiercely, his eyes fierce, "What's your student number? You're in Class C, right? Remember to go to the Academic Affairs Office this afternoon."
"No, why? Teacher Gu, why do you want me to go to the Academic Affairs Office?"
"You have no respect for your teachers and spread rumors and cause trouble. Do I need to say more?" Gu Chengze stretched out his hand and half-hugged Li Ziyan in his arms. There was no need to say more about his intention to protect him.
Seeing this, several students who also defended Li Ziyan felt more confident and stood by his side. They had been sent to the infirmary because they could not withstand the training, and it was Li Ziyan who took care of them. The girl with the high ponytail suddenly had appendicitis in the middle of the night. Li Ziyan ran to the dormitory and treated her mentally, then carried her back to the infirmary.
Gu Chengze was a professor after all, so those students didn’t dare to say anything more and could only look at their backs unwillingly.
"Thank you for what happened today." Gu Chengze hugged Li Ziyan's arm tightly, his tone gentle, but his eyes were cold.
"We can't help you either, Doctor Li. Don't worry about it. We believe in you."
"Yeah, don't be sad!"
Li Ziyan smiled and nodded, but there was hurt in his smile and eyes, "Thank you."
"Teacher Gu, this matter..."
Gu Chengze shook his head slightly. The movement was not big, but it was enough to make the other party understand what he meant. The other party was very sensible and kept silent.
"I will take care of this matter, don't worry."
"Well, let's go first."
"Goodbye, Teacher Gu, and Doctor Li."
The few of them waved goodbye, and the smile on Li Ziyan's face finally collapsed. His eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment, which made Gu Chengze feel distressed.
"I'm here, cry if you want."
Li Ziyan shook his head, his eyes drooping, feeling indescribably lonely. "There's nothing to cry about. Other people's opinions won't affect me in any way. They don't believe me simply because they don't understand me. And not everyone thinks I'm bad. Although I don't know what happened, I'm glad that you're still willing to believe me."
This is serious. Li Ziyan has experienced even more extreme school bullying than this, so what is this? Moreover, he has a clear conscience. There may be grievances, but more importantly, he is open and honest. Lies will never stand up.
Gu Chengze's heart softened, and he hugged Li Ziyan into his arms, "I'm here."
"Um."
Why would anyone want to hurt such a transparent and kind person? In a place where Li Ziyan couldn't see, Gu Chengze revealed a fierce look. He would protect Li Ziyan and keep him safe. He would also solve this matter. He would not let anyone who hurt Li Ziyan go.
The two of them hugged each other on campus, their closeness already surpassing that of ordinary friends, but neither of them mentioned it, nor did they care about the gazes of others.
