Chapter 17 The So-called Reason
Lin Guantang seriously asked the group members about the number of courses, and the group members responded enthusiastically:
[Haitang]: If you add up all the courses, would ten courses be too many?
Gratia: That would have to be... Invincible is less. If you knew I have eighteen courses in total, you would feel very happy [live with a smile.jpg]
[Heart of the Mist]: Can I really earn all the credits by taking only ten courses? [Skeptical]
[A Cypress Tree]: Why not?! The system suggests that you can meet the credit requirement by taking 2-3 elective courses. You are just too competitive. Fire the first shot of lying down and refuse to be ineffective. Haitang, this is called courage!
[Gratia]: This cypress tree, you seem like a dog. Are you attracted to the little crabapple? But the cypress tree and the crabapple don't seem to be a good match. I advise you not to step into an unethical same-sex relationship, otherwise I will be very scared~ [scared]
[A Cypress Tree]: You're so addicted to illicit relationships that you're practically vomiting up your leftover food! Your thoughts are truly wicked! Come out and fight Mortal Kombat! I'm going to beat all the water out of your brain! [Angry]
…
Lin Guantang has become completely accustomed to the scenes where other people in the group would go off track and attack each other in the middle of a conversation.
His feeling about this was... the training camp really helped to enhance the relationship between classmates.
Lin Guantang expressed his feelings about the friendly relationship among the group members, which was a mixture of love and hate, and then turned and went into the office of counselor Alana.
Mainly because he submitted too many elective courses.
Alana was trying hard to persuade other freshmen to add elective courses. Although the school does not force freshmen to add elective courses, since it has been arranged, the school still hopes that students can take the initiative to learn more.
Unfortunately, the effect was not good. The students were all very individualistic. They either read the message but did not reply, or they avoided the topic.
It is conceivable that under such circumstances, Alana was shocked and incredulous when she saw Lin Guantang submitted five elective courses in one go on the system.
This news was even forwarded to him by the dean of studies, who asked him to ask Lin Guantang if he had made the wrong choice because of his shaking hands.
In College O, where the average elective student takes 1 to 3 courses, the last student who took the initiative to take so many courses and failed them was nine years ago.
Now that student has become a well-known government councilor, known as the Thorn Rose, because his daily routine is either criticizing various current laws and policies or finding fault with various alpha councilors.
In short, although she is beautiful, she is really troublesome. Every time she appears, people subconsciously put on a mask of pain.
etc--
In that case, Lin Guantang will not follow the same path as this predecessor.
Don’t do that kind of thing!
Although Alana admired the knowledgeable and fearless senior, the O Academy had its own school sentiments. The people on the board of directors did not want the school to produce another thorny crabapple who could only watch but not taste, and even would be pricked from time to time when watching.
Alana originally just wanted to ask Lin Guantang in the group chat whether he had submitted the paper incorrectly. After realizing the dean's implication, she immediately asked Lin Guantang to come to the office to ask him in person why he had chosen so many courses.
"A lot? I think it's okay."
Because he had asked the group members about this in advance, Lin Guantang answered very frankly:
"Besides, I have so much free time. I can't just lie around in the dorm all day and waste it."
The reason was so plain and simple that Alana couldn't refute it for a moment. She could only follow his words and ask tentatively:
"Why don't you choose to go out and socialize? The school arranges so few compulsory courses so that there is enough time for students to attend various social gatherings of their choice. You should know this."
Knowing or not knowing is one thing, being interested or not is another, not to mention——
Lin Guantang blinked, pursed his lips, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said in a low voice:
"Teacher, I don't understand these and don't know how to participate."
Alana: ...
Facing Lin Guantang's ice-blue eyes that seemed to be wet and filled with moisture, and his expression of grievance that was clearly extremely embarrassed but still forced to remain calm...
Alana woke up instantly and remembered Lin Guantang's origins.
An orphan born in District 35 is probably having problems with food and shelter every day. He might even not know what a social banquet is in the past 18 years, but I ask him why he doesn't go to social gatherings of the rich... What kind of nonsense is that!
As Lin Guantang's counselor, and one who was specially chosen to take good care of this S-level omega from a difficult background, she ended up saying such cruel words to him.
That's such a dereliction of duty!
Alana was completely overwhelmed by guilt and sadness, and no longer had any mood to continue questioning this poor but very motivated child.
So I comforted him and told him not to think too much, then I let him go with tears in my eyes.
Watching Lin Guantang leave dejectedly, Alana wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She was so emotional that she couldn't help but excitedly reply to the dean's message.
Guantang is a well-behaved and obedient child. He just wants to learn more and uses the excuse of passing the time in class to cover up his fragile dignity. What has he done wrong? Even if I have to deduct his salary, I would like to ask him, Director, please don't torture him with such cruel questions in the future.
Dean of Studies:?
Isn't it just asking you to ask why he chose so many courses? Is that too cruel? How is it too cruel?
***
Lin Guantang walked out of the office door and finally let out the yawn he had been suppressing. He reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes caused by yawning - he had already yawned before entering the office, but fortunately he had strong endurance and did not let the tears flow out.
But can crying be contagious?
Lin Guantang remembered the teacher's seemingly forbearing expression and the moist corners of his eyes.
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that yawning might be contagious. When he was in District 35, when he saw others yawning, he would yawn involuntarily.
Having said that, since I was allowed to come out, and the teacher's attitude didn't seem to be sarcastic, I might as well get away with it.
Lin Guantang really had no interest in attending any social gatherings, but as the teacher said, he had learned in advance that for students at O College, participating in various social banquets seemed to be a necessity. If he told the real reason truthfully, it might be bad.
Even though school officially starts tomorrow, Lin Guantang doesn't want to leave a bad impression on the teacher now.
Fortunately, the teacher was kind and did not doubt what I said.
Then you can rest assured for now, the next words are——
The problem of whether to sleep or eat first should be solved. He got up early in the morning to run, and he was really tired and hungry, and had no strength left.

On the other hand, against the chaotic backdrop of Shao Qingbai and Wen Tiange chasing each other in a Mortal Kombat and others fanning the flames, Sikong Tan also keenly noticed that something was wrong with Haitang's remarks in the group.
And bravely questioned Huo Shizhen:
"The suggestions given to him in the group were only three or four courses, right? I didn't privately chat with him about this, and Yin Zhiyou wouldn't meddle in other people's business. But you seemed to agree to his request for a private chat, so the truth is—what courses did you privately chat with him about?"
Huo Shizhen had no interest in reporting his whereabouts and plans to others.
"You're quite nosy."
This kind of comment might be offensive to others, but to Sikong Tan it was like praise:
"Gossip is human nature, and it's an indispensable source of intelligence for the Intelligence Department—humph, such an attempt to cover up something only makes it more obvious. It was you who suggested he take other elective courses. Based on your interests, you wouldn't want him to learn firearms or something like that, would you? But, if I remember correctly, O Academy doesn't have such a course. Could it be that Xiao Haitang has such magical power that he's attracted to you, a tree of iron, and you've decided to use your privileges to have O Academy offer relevant courses for him?"
The increasingly outrageous speculation made Huo Shizhen look at him in confusion:
"A cheesy, melodramatic love story is also an indispensable source of intelligence for you?"
Sikong Tan opened his always smiling eyes wide in shock, looking at Huo Shizhen as if he were looking at an alien, or a body that had been possessed:
"You've actually read those melodramatic love stories?!"
Huo Shizhen: ...
Although Yin Zhiyou is a disgusting replica, one thing he said is true: Sikong Tan's intelligence gathering ability is as reliable as his imagination is outrageous.
Huo Shizhen said in his cold, low, slightly hoarse, and rather magnetic and pleasant voice, in the most emotionless tone:
"Is it fate to fall in love with your nemesis? Exclusive revelations: the untold love-hate relationship between the cold-faced devil and the innocent spy."
Sikong Tan: ...
Sikong Tan:!!!
He is truly worthy of being called the Great Devil, he could actually hold back his shame and read out in broad daylight with such a calm expression and without any ripples, a title that would shock even an audience so much that their scalp would numb and they would be able to build a castle under their feet.
It turns out that it has been possessed by some strange thing!
etc--
Why does this sentence sound so familiar?
Sikong Tan's expression gradually changed from shock to confusion, and from confusion to horror.
If I remember correctly...
On the military academy forum, a post that's going viral in a section called "Researching the Truth" that reads like gossip and unofficial history seems to have the same title...
And…it looks like he wrote this post.
Haha, it turns out that the big devil was not possessed by another body, but he found out that someone was writing outrageous fan fiction and came to confront the writer himself.
I thought it was possessed by some strange alien, but it's okay now.
——That’s a big deal!
