After all, they are just teenagers. Even if they are tall and big, they are just all show and no substance. They can't hold back when they are scared.
Sure enough, the two boys glanced at Chu Jiusheng, who still didn't react, and answered tremblingly, "We are both from Class 9, Grade 3. My name is Luo Fanzhou, his name is Bi Ran, and the one on the ground is Chu Jiusheng."
Shang Lin nodded. "I'll let it go this time, but if there's a next time, I'll make you perform aerial acrobatics on the roof of the teaching building."
Shang Lin's use of "fly" was only literal, but Luo Fanzhou and Bi Ran interpreted it as him trying to "fly" them up from the top of the teaching building—a seven-story building, no doubt about their lives. They were so frightened that their legs went weak and they almost knelt down before him.
Shang Lin found it amusing to look at Luo Fanzhou and Bi Ran's frightened expressions. They were just little brats; a little scare and they would behave. "Hurry up and carry your classmate back. He'll be fine in a bit."
Luo Fanzhou asked, trembling, "Really? Didn't you just say..."
Shang Lin said emphatically, "Really?"
The two men carried Chu Jiusheng away, one in front and one behind. But as soon as they left, Shang Lin's legs went weak, but fortunately Su Jinghang caught her in time. "You..."
"Shh." Shang Lin's voice was low, but it wasn't intentional; he was genuinely weak. "I've been gathering my strength for a long time, and I've used it all up at once. I'm a bit weak right now. Don't speak loudly, or I won't be able to handle it if they call them back."
The summer vacation's training and rest had improved Shang Lin's health considerably, but the week of hard work after the start of the semester had diverted all of his energy to his brain. No wonder Xing Tian said, "Your health is so poor, has it all gone into your brain?"
Su Jinghang almost had to half-hug and half-embrace Shang Lin to steady her before whispering, "What did you just do? And so fast, I thought I was seeing things."
Shang Lin spoke frankly, "Acupressure, but my stamina is limited right now, so it's not very effective, but it's enough to scare the little brats. By the way, why didn't you go to the morning exercises?"
Speaking of this, Su Jinghang immediately frowned. "Isn't it because I was surrounded when I came to the bathroom? But the acupressure was the kind I know, like in the movies."
Shang Lin thought to herself, "I don't even know what a movie is."
All I could say was, "Don't talk to me. I don't even have the energy to talk right now. Let me catch my breath. I have class to attend later."
"Oh, okay."
Actually, Shang Lin is very thin and small now, and doesn't weigh much at all, but Su Jinghang was so surprised and frightened just now that he felt a bit heavy when he supported him.
Once Shang Lin was able to stand up, the two of them immediately returned to the classroom. At the same time, he learned a new term—school bullying.
If this happened in the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, Shang Lin wouldn't find it strange. But it happened in the human world, especially in a school where kids are just kids, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Human life is so short, and we are prone to illness. After deducting the time for eating and sleeping, the time we can actually do anything is so limited. How can we possibly make the most of such a limited time...?
"Shang Lin, come here for a moment."
Shang Lin quickly snapped out of his daze and looked over. It was his foreign language teacher. He immediately went over and said, "Teacher."
The foreign language teacher said very earnestly, "Shang Lin, your foreign language grades are really bad. I suggest you take more classes, otherwise you'll drag down your score in the first exam next year."
Shang Lin told the truth, "I'm already taking extra lessons, so the teacher doesn't need to worry."
"What?!" Even the foreign language teacher looked at Shang Lin in shock. "Tutoring can turn out like this?!"
Shang Lin smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "It's only just begun, it'll get better in a while."
The foreign language teacher looked at Shang Lin with a complicated expression. "Alright, if your foreign language score hasn't improved by the next exam, come to me for tutoring."
Shang Lin smiled obediently, "Okay."
As soon as Shang Lin returned, Su Jinghang asked him, "Did your teacher want to see you?"
"Yeah, they want me to get some extra lessons because my grades are so bad."
In Shang Lin's view, this was perfectly normal, given his abysmal foreign language grades. But Su Jinghang asked with a serious expression, "How can I catch up? Will your teacher tutor you?"
"No, someone replaced it for me."
The fact that someone was getting extra tutoring really shocked Su Jinghang. Was it the tutor who was incompetent, or Shang Lin? However, the morning exercise session was over, and the students would be back soon, so he could only say the important thing: "I think it's better if you let your teacher tutor you, so he won't make things difficult for you if your grades don't improve."
Shang Lin asked instinctively, "Why? Just because I won't let him have tutoring?"
To be honest, this was the first time Shang Lin had come into contact with so many people in the human world, and he was unfamiliar with the school environment, so apart from studying, he could only ask as many questions as possible.
Although his curiosity had long since disappeared by the time he was old enough in his previous life, he still had to learn about things in a new environment, even if he didn't want to, since he was only fifteen years old now!
Su Jinghang spoke his mind, though his voice was a little soft. "Yeah, is there money to be made from tutoring? Teachers in the county only make a little money. He's a man and he has to support his family. My mom says it's normal, as long as the tutoring is good."
"Do you get extra lessons from your teacher?"
"Hehe." Su Jinghang smiled shyly, "My studies are alright, I haven't had any extra tutoring yet. It's mainly because my parents can teach me, and they don't put any pressure on me. As long as I can finish my undergraduate studies peacefully, that's fine."
Shang Lin nodded. That's good. Everyone has their own ambitions. But somehow, a junior high school campus has a bit of... the feel of a major sect in the cultivation world, only many issues don't involve life and death.
In the following days, Shang Lin encountered Chu Jiusheng and the other two. Before they saw him, he was still arrogant and domineering, but as soon as they saw him, they immediately seemed to shrink in rank.
Shang Lin completely ignored this. As long as they didn't provoke him or his classmates, he was fine; he didn't have the energy to meddle in other people's business right now. As for releasing someone to protect him…
Haha, there's absolutely no need for that.
This is my own campus life, so I have to face it myself. It's not like I'm facing demons or monsters.
However, Shang Lin overlooked his tendency to attract demons and monsters. He was a little hungry after his Thursday evening class, so he went to the cafeteria and bought a pack of instant noodles, intending to eat it back in his dorm. But then…
On his way back to the dormitory, he inadvertently saw a person standing on the roof of the girls' dormitory, but the next second he realized that it was not a person, but a ghost.
Because if it were a human, with his current eyesight and the dim environment, it would be impossible for him to see them. But isn't the human world in the Dharma-ending Age? How come there are so many of these things?
