Lin Anru was a man who listened to advice. Except for going downstairs to eat and go to the toilet, he never stepped out of the room.
Today he went downstairs to eat as usual. When he was enjoying his meal, two people sat down opposite him.
"Brother Lin, why haven't I seen you these past few days?"
The person who came was Lin Anru's classmate. They came together to take the exam.
"I always feel like I haven't reviewed enough, so I thought I'd learn as much as I can before the exam, so I haven't left the room yet. Brother He and Brother Wu, do you want to talk to me about something?"
The students surnamed Wu and He did not comment much on Lin Anru's behavior of cramming. When they were in private school, they also crammed before every test given by the teacher.
"Can't I find you if I have nothing to do? Can I just chat with you?"
The student surnamed Wu said in a teasing tone.
"It's my honor that you two can come and chat with me. How can I ask if it's okay? You are welcome to come and see me at any time."
As for asking him to find these two, he decided not to consider it before the exam.
"Hahaha, if you say that, then you should be prepared to be disturbed by us at any time."
Mr. Wu was just talking about studying casually, so he would never bother Lin Anru.
They have been told to study in the room, so wouldn't they be boring if they went there?
The two of them dropped the topic and talked about the real reason why they came to find Lin Anru.
"Did you know?" the student surnamed He lowered his voice and said, "The guy from Zhou who came with us had his leg broken last night. Master Zhao has been cursing at him since last night."
Lin Anru was shocked at first, but then she felt that she was making a fuss out of nothing.
The student surnamed Zhou is recognized by their private school as one of the people most likely to win the first place in this case.
His talent and knowledge are beyond reproach, but he has a bad shortcoming: he likes to be in the spotlight and likes other people's attention to be on him, so he always does things and lives in a high-profile manner.
This makes him feel superior, but it also makes many students feel dissatisfied.
His low-key teacher in the private school repeatedly asked him to change his style of doing things.
The first reason is that I am afraid that if he is always praised, he will become elated and delay his studies.
The second is that being too high-profile will draw attention to him, and he will become a target.
Unfortunately, the student surnamed Zhou is not one who listens to advice.
He simply likes everyone to focus their attention on him and feel the pleasure brought by all kinds of envious, jealous... looks.
Asking him to keep a low profile and hide his edge would be more painful than killing him. So he continued to do as he pleased.
His talent made the teachers cherish him, but his family background made the teachers dare not force him to change.
So when he was about to take the exam, the private school discussed with his family and sent a teacher to keep an eye on him.
In front of the teacher, Mr. Zhou would still restrain himself.
However, the teacher sent here not only had to keep an eye on him, but also had to answer questions for other students.
Students with the surname Zhou are important, and the first place in the exam can indeed bring great reputation to the private school, but ordinary students are also very important. If the private school does not produce a first place student, as long as there are enough people who pass the imperial examination, good results can still be achieved.
"Who is so arrogant?" Lin Anru asked calmly.
"I don't know." The student surnamed He spread his hands and shook his head. "They were all drunk at the time, and there were so many people around. There's no way to determine who did it. Even Brother Zhou himself has no recollection."
It is precisely because of this that Master Zhao cursed his mother.
The murderer could not be found, and the people present were students with similar family backgrounds to Zhou Xuezi, so there was no way to find someone to take the blame.
"If you ask me, he should blame himself for this." The student surnamed Wu whispered.
The other two people leaned forward in tacit understanding and listened carefully to what he said.
"You all know him, he deserves a beating. If he hadn't had the teacher's protection in the private school and a powerful father, he would have been put in the sack countless times."
"It's true he's talented, but his temper is so annoying. We were all classmates, and fearing his father would cause trouble, we all gave in to him and flattered him.
Look, here, there are people who are as talented and knowledgeable as him, although not many, but not quite a few either.
Talented people are more or less arrogant, so they certainly won't flatter him like we classmates do.
This is not the end of the story..."
Immersed in the praise of people around me every day, suddenly one day I found that people around me were no longer cooperating, and what's worse, those praises were directed at other people.
How could the student surnamed Zhou accept such a gap? He was a high-profile person who was brooding over these things, so disputes arose.
The class where he got into trouble was full of students with similar family backgrounds and considerable talent and reputation.
It is difficult for him to cause trouble to others, but it is easy for others to cause trouble to him together.
This was clearly a setup targeting him, and it was hard for him to avoid trouble.
The reason why the teacher who followed him cursed instead of seeking revenge was because he also knew the reason.
My own students were responsible for most of the mistakes. If the injured people were not my own students, that "most" would have become all.
"Tsk tsk, he really deserves it." The student surnamed He expressed his thoughts after hearing this.
This is the consequence of lacking self-awareness. Fortunately, he is not such a person.
After hearing this, Lin Anru became even more determined to stay in the house. Although he was not a person with that kind of personality and was not as famous as his classmate named Zhou, no one should notice him.
But it is better to be safe than sorry.
"It's better for you two to go out less recently," Lin Anru reminded.
He and the two people in front of him were not close friends. They were just acquaintances who naturally came together because they were from the same faction as Master Hong.
"We know our limits, Brother Lin, don't worry."
The students surnamed He and Wu did not take this reminder seriously at all.
The two of them are not very old, much younger than Lin Anru, and are at the age when they love to play. It must be very uncomfortable for them to hide in the house every day and not come out.
Lin Anru didn't try to persuade him further. The relationship wasn't deep, so she stopped there.
The three of them dispersed after finishing their meal, but gathered together again in less than a moment.
Because the seeded player had an accident, the teacher who led the team specially gathered them together and gave them a warning, asking them to stay in the house and study with peace of mind, and go out as little as possible.
Everyone agreed obediently.
But Lin Anru knew that those people only agreed on the surface, and would do the same thing behind the scenes.
For example, the students with the surname He and Wu.
Lin Anru obediently stayed in the room and did not go out. No one came to look for him until the day before the exam...
