Chapter 40: Ruling by Inaction
"Brother!"
As soon as he walked out of the office, Yue Xiao rushed to him.
When she heard her classmates say that someone had come to the school, and she was talking and laughing with Teacher Jiang Zexijiang, she knew that this was Zao Wou-Ki who had saved her.
So, she ran to the office immediately after class, full of hope to get some appreciation. You must know that her academic performance has reached the current passing line from the beginning, and if she continues to work hard, she may be able to catch up with the passing line of the school when the final exam comes.
Zao Wou-ki's body shook slightly, touched the girl who was only waist-high, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" I just haven't seen each other for a few hours, so why did I suddenly come here? ”
"It's nothing, I just miss my brother."
The little hand tightly tugged at the corner of the clothes, Yue Xiao pouted and buried her head in Zhao Wouji's waist, and kept sucking the other party's body fragrance under the instigation of her snort.
There was no peculiar smell, almost pure breath, like a mild sun, with the warmth of the sun, just staying quietly beside her, she felt her slightly troubled mind quiet down a little.
"Alas! I'm fourteen years old, so it's not okay to continue to be so clingy. ”
Zhao Wouji caught a glimpse of the onlookers next to him, and immediately felt a little helpless, patted Yuexiao's shoulder slightly and signaled her to let go, then squatted down and looked at the sister he picked up for nothing, and said, "But how are you doing at school?" How do your classmates treat you? If there's anything bad, tell me about it, right? ”
"Them?"
A trace of gloom suddenly passed over Yue Xiao's face, sweeping over the faces of the students gathered next to her, with a trace of estrangement.
At that moment, a shrill voice came from among the crowd.
"Haha, crybaby, big fool, I want to kiss my brother every day!"
"Dear brother, come today, give gifts, money, and warmth."
"The two of them are combined, and the sparrow branches are phoenixes."
"Phoenix Phoenix, you can't do it, the sparrow's butt can't hide it."
“…………”
With his words, the people around him suddenly coaxed, and together they sang such a paragraph with some rhyme, but obviously with insult and contempt, and it seemed that the poems that were recited were obviously arranged to bury Yuexiao.
After all, she was anxious to find Zao Wou-Ki before, and her current academic performance was not ideal, which was not compatible with Xiling No. 1 Middle School, which was among the best even in the entire Songjiang Mansion, and those students who relied on their real skills and stayed up all night to study hard to get here would naturally be a little resentful of this situation.
After Yue Xiao heard these words, her brows, which had been stretched, immediately twisted, and she roared with anger in the corners of her eyes and red cheeks: "Shut up!" ”
"Shut up? What do you spell to shut people up? Just the brother behind you? ”
"That's right. If you can come in here, won't we be allowed to say it? ”
"Isn't that just to say? What's the big deal. There is still a rhythm of beating people. ”
"That's it, that's it! Isn't it just that sports are everything? But so what? ”
"That's what academic performance looks like. I really don't know how she got into this school. ”
“…………”
She "shut up", but like a timed dynamite, she immediately vented all the anger, shame and resentment that everyone had long harbored in their hearts.
To be honest, none of the people who can enter the key class of Xiling No. 1 Middle School are stupid, compared to the students in other ordinary classes, their average score is at least ninety points or more, but with Yue Xiao's score that has just passed each time, it is obviously not enough.
"Brother!"
Trembling all over, Yue Xiao lowered her head slightly, her hair was scattered and covered the scene of her face, her voice was a little erratic, several tears splashed on the ground, and she was obviously a little twitching when she spoke, "I'm sorry, I disappointed you." ”
She smiles every day when she comes home, just to let her brother know that she is living a stable and harmonious life at school.
But today, Yue Xiao suddenly felt that all her previous efforts had been in vain.
It was not a harmonious classmate relationship, the condemnation from the people around her, and the heavy academic pressure, these things all pressed on her slender shoulders, making her feel extremely painful and struggling, and there were those humiliating words in her ears, which did not stop for a while.
"No, I just didn't think it through."
Zao Wou-ki's eyes suddenly sharpened, forcing the students who were shouting to shut up, and then pressed Yuexiao's shoulder to persuade.
After seeing the hatred of those students, Zao Wou-Ki understood what kind of situation Yue Xiao was facing in this school.
At that time, he blindly considered letting Yue Xiao receive the best quality school education, so he took the initiative to send Yue Xiao to this most famous school, and in order to ensure that she was not bullied, he contacted Li Nuolan and Jiang Zexi, two teachers, and asked them to take care of one or two in private, but he didn't expect that his originally well-intentioned behavior made Yue Xiao be bullied, and even completely isolated by the students around him.
Zao Wou-Ki ignored this.
Yue Xiao felt the warmth transmitted from her shoulders, and hurriedly raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears, then looked up and asked, "But they?" ”
Speaking of this, her eyes were still a little resentful, and she swept past the classmates who didn't care about their faces, and she secretly made up her mind in her heart that she must make them feel bad. It's just that she looks like this, but she is considered a bully by those students, and the clamor is getting more and more serious.
"If you can't support it, do you want your brother to end? It's shameless. ”
"Useless guy, after all, it's not relying on my brother? Have the ability to let him take the test on his behalf! ”
"And look at the two of you, how many adults are like this? It's really greasy enough. ”
"That's right, it shouldn't be that kind of relationship between the two! That's really disgusting. ”
“…………”
Words like this are endless, but it makes people more and more annoyed when they hear it.
When Zao Wou-Ki heard these swearing, he also felt that he couldn't stand it, he stomped on his feet, and when he landed, he smashed all the dry floor tiles under his feet, all of them cracked, and even some of them turned directly into dust, and said: "Although it is true that I am a little wrong in this matter, is it good for you to chew your tongue here?" ”
This kind of performance immediately frightened these short-sighted students, and they all shut up.
And they also stared at Zao Wou-Ki with fear, lest this person would also hit them with such a strong force.
After all, as high school students, they also understand that it is not a good idea to easily provoke those guys who are mixed in society, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, smoking, cheating, abducting, stealing, these third-rate tricks are not at all what they can imagine, and the cruelty of society is difficult to imitate in school classrooms.
If you let this guy come to the door, then they're done with it.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded on the side, but Zhang Xinling appeared here.
She knocked the books in her hands on each other's heads one by one, and shouted, "What are you all doing here? Don't want to go to class yet? Such a majestic appearance has the demeanor of being a squad leader.
She walked to Yuexiao's side, grabbed the slightly weak hand, and complained, "I was looking for you?" How did you get here? ”
"Well, I'm here to see my brother." Yuexiao's arm trembled, and after feeling the warm touch of the other party with a light movement of her fingers, she grabbed the hand handed over by the other party tightly, and then laughed: "After all, he rarely has the opportunity to come to school, so I want to come over and talk to my brother." ”
"Brother? What are you doing here? ”
Zhang Xinling noticed Zao Wouji's figure at this time, she looked up and down, and asked in some surprise.
Zao Wou-Ki smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Please, I'm her guardian." As a guardian, it should be common for you to visit the school. ”
"That's right. But can you not use your power indiscriminately, it's easy to make others afraid. Zhang Xinling responded with an "oh", and immediately noticed the broken tiles on the ground, and she suddenly let out an annoyed voice, and opened her mouth to reprimand.
Such a flamboyant and lively appearance is completely opposite to Yue Xiao's slightly timid character.
Even Zao Wou-Ki was dumbfounded for a while, scratched his head and said, "Don't worry, I will compensate." ”
Zhang Xinling was also speechless, and continued to speak, without any fear: "I didn't mean this. I mean, can you not scare the students at the school, they don't stand up to training like your soldiers. ”
After all, she is also a friend of Yue Xiao, and she has been a guest at Zao Wouji's house several times, so she naturally understands the character of the person in front of her, so she dares to speak like this, otherwise if she changes someone, it is estimated that she will call the police directly.
"I see." Zao Wou-Ki nodded yes, and then asked, "However, what is Yue Xiao doing in school?" ”
Zhang Xinling's eyes rolled for a moment, and she immediately remembered what happened before, and she explained with a look of understanding: "It's average." After all, her foundation is too poor and she has too many grades, so she was buried by those troublemakers. When her grades come up, those remarks will naturally disappear. ”
"Is that so?" Zao Wou-Ki asked a little anxiously.
Zhang Xinling continued to explain: "That's right. And although Yuexiao's foundation is very poor, she has a strong ability to accept it, and her memory is quite good, and she can remember the above content after reading the textbook once. I think if she continues to work hard, she should be able to squeeze into the top 100 in the final exam this month. When the time comes, I think those people's faces will be wonderful. ”
Speaking of this, the corners of Zhang Xinling's mouth unconsciously curled, as if he saw the scene of the group of guys holding their heads and shouting impossible.
"I see. Then I'll leave it to you. ”
Zao Wou-Ki waved his hand and thanked him, "Of course, if you have any needs, you can also tell me." I think you're going to need something. With his eyes, he could already feel the faint strength from the other party, very slender but accumulating, obviously taught by Yue Xiao out of gratitude.
One teaches the power of physical fitness, the other teaches the knowledge to explore the world, complement each other and help each other, and it is no wonder that the relationship between the two is so good.
Zao Wou-Ki also decided to go with the flow, after all, they were already trying to solve their own problems, and as a guardian, he felt that he should protect them from outside interference, and as for the forces that exceeded them, they should also be restrained, so as not to let these paths deviate from their original meaning.
Sometimes, inaction is better than action!
