Jiang Cheng considered Lao Xu to be quite responsible, but he really didn't want to say anything, nor did he even know how to say it. Even if he made an effort to explain - because the person who lashed out from a single comment by another person was him - if he wanted to clearly explain the situation, he would have to simultaneously explain too many other things in the process, things he had no will to confront.

In comparison, he would much rather take the punishment in silence, except he did feel quite sorry for Lao Xu, who sincerely worried about his students.

Lao Xu used half a lesson worth of time to patiently remonstrate him with a sincere and intense conviction - to move with logic, to touch with emotions.[1] Jiang Cheng felt as if Lao Xu's tears were about to roll down his face. But in the end, he still wasn't able to get an answer out of Jiang Cheng and had no choice but to let him return back to the classroom.

When he arrived downstairs, the fuckhead from Class 5 coincidently walked out from the nurse's office after treatment.

It didn't look like he was severely injured. There were several bruises and graze marks and the part that looked the worse was... swollen.

Jiang Cheng had repeatedly beaten him with his right hand, so the fuckhead's left eye was so swollen that there was only a crack left. His left cheek was also swollen, making him look sort of lopsided.

Once he saw Jiang Cheng, his one and one-fifth of an eye almost spewed out fire.

Jiang Cheng paused his steps and stood still at the spot two to three metres away from the staircase, not taking another step forward.

"What?!" Fuckhead spat on the ground. "Weren't you quite tough before?! Afraid now?"

Jiang Cheng did not respond.

Fuckhead eyed him from the two and two-fifth of an eye then walked up the stairs while spewing obscenities. Jiang Cheng continued to hear his voice until it lowered and eventually faded away and only then did he also slowly make his way up the stairs.

Lao Lu probably didn't even get a chance to start his lesson for this period yet. When Jiang Cheng strolled into the classroom, he was standing behind the podium swearing, so loudly that the flakes of paint fell off from the ceiling above.

"The hero[2] is back!" When Lao Lu saw him enter, his teaching pointer instantly pointed toward him. "Jiang Cheng, let me give you a suggestion!"

Jiang Cheng turned around to look at him.

"Why don't you write an essay about how to cross two groups of people and rush into the hallway yet walk out of a brawl completely unharmed!" Lao Lu roared, "Once you're done, I'll help you print it and stick it up in the classroom!"

"... oh," Jiang Cheng responded somewhat helplessly and returned to his seat.

"It's not me who is being unfair," Lao Lu's teaching pointer danced across the podium, pointing left then right. "Every single one of you! Are only like a human being when you're asleep! Once your eyes open, you become piles of shit! Never have I seen any of you do one thing that isn't foul! Your parents work themselves to death only to support you pieces of shit to mess around in school..."

"Did you go to the Director of Academics' office?" Gu Fei asked with his head down while playing on his phone.

"No," Jiang Cheng answered.

"They'll probably get you all at once when school's over then," Gu Fei replied.

Gu Fei was indeed pretty experienced.
