YangZong Jie and Li Gao were known not to get along. But with Li Gao having Guo DangLi as support, Yang ZongJie couldn’t afford to mess with Li Gao even if he hated him to the bone. He even actively avoided him. But recently, Class 7 and Class 8 had explicitly gone through some huge changes.

All the teachers in their grade publicized the changes in the two classes. Recently, they’ve even been focusing on how the problematic Guo DangLi had changed his ways. The teachers encouraged everyone to learn from this. Yang ZongJie was so mad he almost skipped class; when did the teachers’ expectations become so low? Do you really believe that these sorts of people are deserving of praise?

Yang ZongJie had personally witnessed Guo DangLi and his lackeys harass honest students after school for money to buy cigarettes. They steal money while ridiculing them and their efforts to study.

But all the teachers were beginning to speak more and more of these ‘reformed’ students. As soon as anyone causes a ruckus in class, the teacher would talk about how great Class7 and Class 8 was. Nowadays, the whites of Yang ZongJie’s eyes were slowly disappearing during class. It was really beginning to strain his eyes.

And now, with the monthly test tomorrow, the teachers have started mentioning Class 7 and Class 8 to an unprecedented degree. They started dropping all sorts of crazy hints and because of this, all the students were now afraid of the underachieving classes overtaking them. The atmosphere in their classrooms was wrought with tension.

But Yang ZhongJie hadn’t been affected by the overwhelming tension in the air. Instead, he thought it funny. Only a ghost would believe that Guo DangLi and his gang actually changed their ways. Li Gao had once proclaimed that he thought those who read all day were fools.

So he took advantage of their break time and pulled his friend Zhang QianJian along to Class 7. He wanted to take a look at the situation and prove to everyone that he was right. But unexpectedly, he ran into Li Gao handing a bag of seafood to Lin Qian. He couldn’t help but mock Li Gao.

Originally, the usual flow of this situation would be Li Gao spouting barbs right back at him after Yang ZongJie started mocking him. They would devolve into shouting verbal abuse at each other. It was practically routine. But Yang ZongJie didn’t expect Lin Qian to stop Li Gao in only a few words. Moreover, with the sudden appearance of Class 8’s Zheng PingQing, the situation had become even more strange.

Yang ZongJie didn’t want to provoke Zheng PingQing, so after looking at him, he said: “Still arguing? It’s become so noisy, so I’m leaving.”

Li Gao still had a belly full of fire, but he didn’t know whether he could still shout it all out. The two big Bosses were still discussing on how to distribute the seafood. Anxious, Li Gao asked: “Boss, Second Brother, should I scold back?”

Zheng PingQing gave him the side-eye and smiled a smile that wasn’t really a smile. “Still surreptitiously trying to look good in front of the higher-ups, eh?”

Li Gao: “….” His finger suddenly started to hurt again.

Li Gao had to sneakily glance at Lin Qian for help. Lin Qian put a hand on Zheng PingQing’s shoulder and with a peaceful expression, said: “Fighting others is boring and a waste of time. Moreover, it damages our image of a civilized person.”

Yang ZongJie looked at Lin Qian with a complicated expression. He couldn’t help but remind him: “Classmate Lin, I’d like to advise you not to waste time on these people. They won’t change. I also heard that your own grades got affected. They’re really not worth it.”

In the past, whenever people would say such things about him, Li Gao didn’t care. But today, he felt uncomfortable for some odd reason. He couldn’t help but bite back: “How much free time do you have that you feel the need to poke your nose on things that have nothing to do with you?”
