The world begins with shameless people

University of Chicago.

Before, Lip naively believed that when this matter calmed down, Helena would change her attitude and contact him...

Essentially, Lip believes that Helena has feelings for him.

Now…it’s all over.

Helena's indifference and her words were like a sharp dagger piercing Lip's heart.

Lip was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe. He had never felt such pain in his life.

What can we do?

Drink some alcohol, smoke some drugs, and numb yourself.

Lip moved in a daze, one day, two days, three days... He was just like a walking corpse.

It is worth mentioning that he did not stay in the dormitory all the time. When he had classes, he still went to the classroom.

In fact, he was a little scared, or rather, unwilling to stay in the dormitory alone... There was no one else in the dormitory, it was too quiet, and he couldn't help but think of Helena.

And so, the days passed one by one.

About ten days passed.

Lip finally recovered a little bit, but of course, this improvement came at a price.

The price was that after this incident, Lip had completely become an alcoholic and could not live without alcohol. After a period of time, he would feel very uncomfortable if he did not drink some alcohol, and he could not sleep without drinking some alcohol at night.

Ewans saw all this and tried to persuade him twice, but unfortunately, as expected, Lip was not the kind of person who would listen to advice and remained the same.

Youens stopped persuading him, and as an old drunkard, he was willing to drink with Lip and enjoy the happiness brought by alcohol.

In a blink of an eye, almost another week has passed.

Lip still missed Helena very much. At around eleven o'clock that night, he was alone in the dormitory, drinking a lot of wine, and his feeling of missing Helena suddenly burst out.

Philip couldn't help it, so he went out drunk. When he arrived at Helena's house, he started yelling and drunkenly.

To this day, the impact of the previous turmoil has basically dissipated. Helena, who was not expelled but was temporarily asked to stay away from the teaching position, did not sleep. When she heard the noise, she sighed silently, but still did not move and ignored Lip.

Lip yelled for a long time, staggered, fell to the ground, and then closed his mouth. Then, he stared blankly at Helena's bedroom for a while, raised his hand to wipe his tears, slowly got up, and returned to the dormitory.

This time is different from the last time.

It's been so long since that happened, time does heal some things... Helena hesitated, stood up, walked behind the window, and looked at Lip.

how to say.

Helena really had no intention of getting back together with Lip; all she had was some guilt.

It's true that Helena is a shameless person, but she is not without conscience.

Helena knew clearly that she had hurt Lip, and hurt him badly...she did feel guilty.

But what can I do?

As a human being, you always have to look forward.

So, after looking at Lip guiltily for a few seconds, Helena sighed, then looked away, sat back on the bed, and returned to her own life.

As for what will happen to Lip next...in Helena's opinion, Lip will have to figure it out on his own.

*****************
time flies.

It took almost a month for Lip to finally recover from the incident and was able to shift his attention and energy back to studying.

In this regard, over the past month, Youens, who had been very tolerant of Lip, the assistant coach, because he could understand Lip's condition, was indeed happy and relieved.

It’s noon this day.

In Youens' office.

"I'm glad you've recovered," Youens said with a smile, "Now that you've recovered, it's time to do the work that needs to be done. In the past month, I have done all your work for you." Hearing this, Lip was subconsciously stunned and didn't react to the meaning of this sentence, "What work of mine?"

"The job of a teaching assistant," Youens didn't realize what this would cause. "As my teaching assistant, you have some work to do, such as occasionally helping me with classes and marking papers. I told you."

The words hit my ears.

Lip did remember it, and then he felt really uncomfortable.

To Lip, these words were really incomprehensible.

First of all, the assistant coaching position was proposed by Ewens. He didn't want to be an assistant coach, but he agreed to it to help Ewens.

Secondly, being a teaching assistant doesn’t earn you a penny, it’s purely free labor… Are there any requirements for free labor?

What is his job?

Teaching classes and grading exams are Ewans' job!

Youens was rewarded with money for this, and what did he get? He got nothing!

He is not a slave!

The thought of free labor made Lip even more unhappy, but he immediately resisted the urge to speak his true thoughts. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll start today."

There is only one reason for this answer.

That is, in a sense, Ewans did help him a lot in the past month.

If it weren't for Youens, he would have no one to vent his pain to, and no one to drink with him...

Because of these things, Lip is willing to stick with this crappy assistant job for a while longer!
Yes, for a while.

Afterwards, find an opportunity to make it clear that you quit!

Gallagher doesn't do the stupid thing of giving away his labor for free.

Not long after.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Lip found an excuse and left Youens' office.

Then, Lip lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and felt like cursing.

After what Evans said just now, Lip understood a very fucked up truth, that is, he treated Evans as a friend, but Evans did not treat him like that. Evans only treated him as a student, a drinking buddy, and as free labor that could be ordered around.

Fxxk! ! !

Lip was very unhappy, and this unhappy feeling took root in his heart.

It won’t be for a few days.

After delaying a task assigned by Youens and being criticized by Youens in a bad tone, Lip exploded, "These jobs are your jobs, not mine. I am not a free laborer, I am helping you!"

Lip became more and more excited. "I was busy and couldn't help you. Is this your attitude? Don't you think there's something wrong?"

"I didn't choose to be the teaching assistant. You asked me to be one. And now you are talking to me like this?"

"What do you take me for?"

After hearing this, Youens was immediately angry and glared at Lip for two seconds. He wanted to speak to sort out Lip's logic, but seeing that Lip was not calm at all...

At this time, there is no point in saying anything more, it will only lead to arguments.

Youens was old and didn't bother to argue with a young man like Lip. "You leave first. When you calm down, we need to have a good talk."

"There's nothing to talk about. I'm calm!" Lip really felt that he was very calm. "You should find someone else to be the assistant. I won't serve you anymore!"

After saying this, Lip turned and left.

Youens looked at him and shook his head angrily, feeling that he had chosen the wrong person and had wasted so much time on Lip.

Lip's problem was really too big, far beyond Euns's previous judgment. (End of this chapter)
