The county's No. 1 Middle School is a key junior high school. They only have a break every two weeks. On the weekend when they don't have a break, parents will come to visit their children, bring them some food, and take away their dirty clothes.
Old Man Chai didn't know this, so he didn't come to see Shang Lin. Li Hongjin didn't receive this kind of treatment when he was in school, so naturally he didn't think to tell Old Man Chai.
However, apart from Shang Lin, no one from Lin Shengqi and Meng Zhe's families came to visit. Su Jinghang, on the other hand, was much more generous. Not only did his family come, but they also brought him a lot of food.
Su Jinghang generously gave everyone a carton of milk when he mentioned the dormitory. However, he blushed like a little girl as soon as he opened his mouth, and his fair complexion made the blush even more noticeable.
Shang Lin chuckled and declined, "Thank you, but I'm not feeling well and can't drink milk."
Su Jinghang asked instinctively, "Isn't milk a good source of calcium? Why can't we drink it?"
Su Jinghang's question also drew the attention of Lin Shengqi and Meng Zhe. They both knew that Shang Lin was in poor health and that milk was a good source of calcium, but they didn't know why he couldn't drink it.
Shang Lin didn't want to explain too much, only saying, "I had a check-up at the hospital before, that's what the doctor said."
Su Jinghang immediately looked at Shang Lin with some sympathy, "Then what can you eat? I still have..."
Shang Lin hurriedly refused, "No, no, I have a lot of dietary restrictions." Besides, he had only known his classmates for a few days, how could he just eat their food?
How much better can the living conditions in the county be than in their village? It's just that both parents have income and they are careful to spend it on their children. Besides, for someone who has fasted for many years and has basically no appetite, what kind of food can stimulate their appetite?
Besides, Shang Lin has been studying with all her might these days. In addition to foreign languages, she also needs to sort out other subjects. As for foreign languages... there really isn't enough time to study them.
However, Shang Lin wasn't in a hurry. Even if he was strong in one subject but weak in another, he could still get into a top high school if he got full marks or near full marks in the other subjects. Besides, the preliminary exams weren't until next June, so there was plenty of time. It's just that this meant he really wouldn't have time to take care of his health, so he had to be extra careful about what he ate.
But after hearing what Shang Lin said, his three roommates all looked at him with sympathy. Not having money to buy snacks and having snacks but not being able to eat them are two completely different things.
Although it was the weekend, none of the classes were missed, except for the evening self-study session, which was canceled. Lin Shengqi and Meng Zhe were doing laundry during this time, while Shang Lin's dirty clothes...
Lin Shengqi snatched the clothes away and washed them, saying, "You're not feeling well and you don't have many clothes, so I'll wash them for you."
"……Thanks."
Shang Lin felt that he was really lucky. Although he failed to advance and fell from the cultivation world to the human world, and his soul was transmigrated into the body of a sickly boy, everyone he met treated him sincerely and had no other intentions.
Suddenly I feel that this kind of life is pretty good. I study, earn money, and cultivate. It would be best if I could return to the world of cultivation one day. If not, it doesn't matter. After all, isn't cultivation possible anywhere? It's so simple and wonderful.
On Monday's first class, the homeroom teacher released the results of the weekly test, which was also the initial assessment test at the start of the semester. Most of the other students were basically the same as before, except for Shang Lin, who was a bit different.
Mathematics, physics, and chemistry were far ahead, ranking first in the school year, and other subjects were also quite good. However, foreign language was... well, it was simply appalling. The homeroom teacher had encountered students who were unbalanced in their subjects before, but this was the first time she had ever seen one who was this unbalanced.
Shang Lin didn't care, since everything was in his plan anyway, so he did whatever the teacher said, being incredibly obedient. And what teacher doesn't like an obedient student?
Su Jinghang, Shang Lin's deskmate, was also utterly shocked. Who wouldn't be astonished by such an imbalance in their academic performance? If they weren't still in class, he would have been tempted to ask, "How did you manage that???"
Because Shang Lin was in poor health, he was not involved in any physical activities such as labor, morning exercises, or physical education classes. He used this time to memorize vocabulary and then find opportunities to have Xing Tian teach him grammar.
During break, Shang Lin went to the restroom and suddenly heard a male voice with ill intent, "Hey sissy, I heard your family is well-off. Hurry up and take out some money for us to spend."
Shang Lin paused, what was going on? This was a school, right? How could something so outrageous happen? And how old were these kids? Fourteen or sixteen-year-old minors, how could they do this?
"I...I have no money."
"Who are you trying to fool?"
"No, my parents don't give me money, they just send me food. I use my meal card at school, I don't spend cash."
That sound...
Shang Lin strode in immediately, and sure enough, Su Jinghang was standing against the wall in the bathroom. Three tall boys stood in front of him, surrounding him.
Shang Lin, unusually angry, loudly questioned, "What are you doing? Is it fun to treat your classmates like this? You have such good bodies, why don't you use them to study or do something worthwhile, instead of bullying your classmates?"
The three boys were completely taken aback by the arrival of someone at this hour. They had assumed it was a teacher, but when they saw that it was Shang Lin, who was even thinner and smaller than Su Jinghang, their startled gazes immediately turned into malicious ones. "Who are you? Don't be ungrateful. We didn't ask you for any money, but judging from your appearance, you don't seem to come from a wealthy family."
Su Jinghang became even more frightened upon seeing Shang Lin and hurriedly shouted, "You go quickly and don't worry about me, they will beat people up."
Despite being thin and small, Shang Lin exuded a powerful aura and immediately said to Su Jinghang, "Don't worry, he's just a kid in his teens, not even in puberty yet, and he already wants to be a bandit."
The boy closest to Shang Lin reached out to grab his collar, intending to lift him up and throw him out, but he only managed to grab air. When he tried to turn around to look for someone, he felt a sharp pain and immediately collapsed to the ground.
The other two boys stared at Shang Lin in disbelief, only to find that the person who had just been standing at the door was now standing in front of them, while Chu Jiusheng suddenly collapsed to the ground, motionless.
Su Jinghang was also dumbfounded, staring blankly at the thin and small Shang Lin, as if he were seeing Tesla. How could this person, who was so weak that he was afraid of falling over if he walked too fast, suddenly become so powerful?!
"You, you, you..."
Shang Lin looked up at the two boys in front of her who could barely speak, then kicked Chu Jiusheng's leg with her toe. "What, do you want to end up like him? If you understand the situation, tell me which class you're in and what your name is. Otherwise, I don't mind having the three of you keep me company. And I guarantee that even the school doctor won't be able to find anything, let alone know how to treat you."
After saying that, Shang Lin clenched his fist, his threatening intent quite obvious, "Want to, or don't want to try?"
