Is there anyone who really wants to be a partner of justice?

Seeing Zhenyi's obviously cold and indifferent eyes, Zhang Jinghan felt that she had an obligation to guide him, so she asked, "Speaking of which... Zhenyi, your parents passed away, who will raise you?"

"Grandma, she has always lived with me and dad."

"…How about Shinichi, let Mr. Zhang be your guardian?"

Zhang Jinghan's proposal made Zhenyi raise his eyebrows. Looking at Zhang Jinghan's pretty face showing her concern for him, Lu Zhenyi admitted that he was a little moved. However, in the end, he chose to shake his head and rejected Zhang Jinghan's kindness.

Zhang Jinghan also knew that it was understandable that Zhenyi would refuse her sudden proposal, but she would not give up just because of a rejection...

……

Did his father's death really have no effect on Shinichi? Not entirely.

After his father's death, Shinichi's emotions were obviously more unstable than before. In the past, when those students he disliked bullied others, he might have turned a blind eye to it, but now he disliked these guys even more than before.

In the past, he would not pay attention to it, but now, as long as he glanced at it, he would feel extremely unhappy. He continued to vent his anger with a sandbag after practicing Sanda for several years, and then...

"Wow, wow, wow! Teacher! Lu Zhenyi, he hits people!"

Looking at the rebellious student who was crying and wiping his nose next to him, Lu Zhenyi rolled his eyes. When he was bullying others, he was so arrogant and shouted that he didn't take the teacher seriously. After being bullied, he cried and wiped his tears and complained to the teacher. It was really shameful.

Looking at Lu Zhenyi standing in front of her, Zhang Jinghan was really angry with Lu Zhenyi this time.

After sending the other students away, Zhang Jinghan pulled him to the quiet corridor, stared at Zhenyi with a frown, and asked, "Lu Zhenyi! Do you think that no one can take care of you now that your father has passed away?"

Shinichi shook his head and corrected him: "Teacher, even if my father was still alive, he couldn't control what I do."

"You!" Zhang Jinghan was furious. She picked up the teaching stick and hit Zhenyi's palm. Then she said to Zhenyi sternly: "Lu Zhenyi, come with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow. I will apply to be your legal guardian! You must be taken care of by an elder!"

Zhenyi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhang Jinghan had not given up on this matter yet.

He smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "In that case... Teacher Zhang... I have something to say, please don't be angry."

"Ah? What's going on?"

"Teacher Zhang, I like you."

"what?"

Zhang Jinghan was shocked by this sudden sentence. She didn't know what Lu Zhenyi meant by "like". If it was the ordinary kind of love and admiration, Zhang Jinghan would be surprised that Lu Zhenyi would actually say this word.

And if it's the kind of thing you like...

She was a little flustered and could only yell, "Lu Zhenyi! Stop trying to be clever and joking with me! I'm your teacher! I'm seriously discussing the matter of your guardian with you now!"

"Then I am also very serious, Teacher Zhang... I do like you, and it is the kind of love between men and women. I am not joking. In fact, from the first time I saw you, I liked your temperament, Teacher Zhang...

Maybe it's because I don't have a mother, so my heart hopes that someone can make up for this missing piece. When I saw you for the first time, I felt that you were a woman who could be my mother.

But later, I thought about it carefully. Was it maternal love that I lacked? You could say that. But I had never really felt maternal love since I was a child. Why would I pursue something that I had no concept of?

Later, I finally determined that what I longed for from you, Teacher Zhang, was not maternal love, but love. Teacher Zhang, I actually like you..."

"Enough!" Zhang Jinghan interrupted Zhenyi's narration in panic, her plump chest rising and falling. After taking a few deep breaths, she said to Zhenyi: "Lu Zhenyi, you have to reflect on what you said!

You are becoming more and more disrespectful to the teacher! You will go crazy if I don't punish you! Go back! Write me a 10,000-word apology! Review what you just said!"

"……Um."

Zhen Yi shrugged nonchalantly, and then asked, "What about the guardian..."

"Go back to class first!"

"Oh."

When Lu Zhenyi returned to the classroom with his hands in his pockets, the classroom was quiet again. Everything seemed to be happening again yesterday. He remembered that the last time he came back like this was when he was just entering junior high school. Now it was already the third year of junior high school, and the students had already started preparing for the high school entrance examination...

Most of the students looked at him with awe, while the bad apples who were beaten up by Zhenyi with an iron fist lowered their heads and trembled, not daring to look at Lu Zhenyi. When Lu Zhenyi returned to his seat as if he had ascended the throne, his deskmate came up to him again and asked curiously.

"Hey! Old Lu! Did Teacher Zhang give you special amnesty again this time?"

"Haha~ Of course... no."

"Ah? Teacher Zhang didn't let you go this time?"

"No, I was fined."

"What was the penalty?"

"A letter of apology, 10,000 words."

"What the hell!? A 10,000-word self-criticism!? You're not kidding me, are you? Oh my god, I'm going to die if I write only 1,000 words! What did you do to piss off Teacher Zhang? Have you finished writing these 10,000 words?!"

"I guess I've gotten into trouble... It's only 10,000 words, so I'll just do it. I'll write a few words a day, and I'll be done in a few days."

"..." Looking at Shinichi's nonchalant expression, his deskmate could only give him a thumbs up again and said with emotion: "Old Lu, you are really awesome! You are worthy of being the Chinese class representative...

Alas, I didn't expect that your golden ticket of immunity from death, Old Lu, is no longer effective. In this case, relying on improving your Chinese language skills to get special privileges from Teacher Zhang is not a sure-fire way to achieve success. The risk is still too great. Forget it."

Shinichi rolled his eyes at his deskmate and said, "Forget it. If you're not good at Chinese, just say so. Don't use the excuse that it's too risky."

"Old Lu, stop ruining things like this!"

Chapter 147: Apology

A 10,000-word self-review is no small task. For most students who still have to think about the words when writing a 600-word essay, a 10,000-word self-review is basically a dead end.

Even if it was Lu Zhenyi, if he was really asked to write a 10,000-word self-criticism, he might not be able to come up with it even if he racked his brains.

But will he write 10,000 words? Just kidding~ He hates this kind of essay the most. He dislikes writing that is controlled by others. So, although Shinichi's Chinese score is ridiculously high, his composition score is quite ordinary.

So, how should Shinichi handle this 10,000-word self-review? It's simple. It's unlikely that anyone will actually read a 10,000-word self-review anyway. So he just writes a beginning and an end to fool people, and the rest of the time becomes a novel!

He couldn't write a 10,000-word self-review, but a 10,000-word novel was easy for Shinichi to write! Moreover, he not only wanted to write a novel, but also a romance novel, and also a teacher-student romance! What stood out was his crazy desire to die! And he did this not for anything else, but just for fun, just to evade taxes!

Although he said that he liked Zhang Jinghan, which made her very angry and made her write a 10,000-word self-criticism, Lu Zhenyi achieved his goal.

That is, Zhang Jinghan has never proposed to be her guardian since then. This is why Lu Zhenyi chose to boldly express his love in front of Zhang Jinghan, in order to make her retreat.

But this does not mean that Lu Zhenyi does not like Zhang Jinghan. He has always had a good impression of this teacher. However, he is also very clear that the difference in status and age between the two of them means that this good impression can only stop at this stage.

Lu Zhenyi felt very regretful, so he described this regret, as well as the birth and development of his feelings for Zhang Jinghan, in great detail in his "self-criticism".

He was perfunctory about writing self-criticisms, but he was serious and affectionate about writing novels, pouring all his emotions into them through words.

Although he appears indifferent on the surface, it does not mean that he has no emotions in his heart, and words are the way for him to vent his emotions.

He thought it might take about a week to write, but his strong desire to create allowed him to finish the "self-criticism" in three days, and even exceeded the target.

When Lu Zhenyi handed the letter of apology to Zhang Jinghan, he felt a little secretly happy and a little uneasy at the same time. He was secretly happy that he had fooled Zhang Jinghan in this way, but he was also uneasy whether Zhang Jinghan would really read his letter of apology seriously.

And in the midst of this anxiety... Lu Zhenyi also had a little expectation in his heart... He hoped that Zhang Jinghan would take a look at the "easter egg" he had buried...

However, it seemed that his trick was successful. After receiving his letter of apology, Zhang Jinghan really revealed the matter. Seeing that his little trick was so successful, Lu Zhenyi even felt a little... disappointed.

……

"Is this even possible?!"

"Hmmmm~"

Looking at the shocked emoticon sent by the netizen named "一摩白浪" in the private chat channel, Lu Zhenyi couldn't help but smile.

Time flies. Now, Lu Zhenyi is in college. With more free time, Lu Zhenyi chooses to develop his hobbies and write some online articles for publication.

This netizen named "一摩白浪" attracted readers after he published his first novel and can be considered his long-time fan.

What kind of people write what kind of articles, and what kind of articles attract what kind of fans. When writing his first novel, Lu Zhenyi chose to express the repression and weakness he felt when he was bullied as a child.

The white wave that was attracted by this was quite similar to himself at that time. However, there were some differences between the two. The white wave did not have the tough style like his father, which made him more weak than himself.

Perhaps he saw his past self in Bai Lang? Or maybe it was because of their similar interests, Lu Zhenyi and Bai Lang became more and more excited in their conversation, and they opened up to each other, and some embarrassing childhood stories became the material for their conversation and laughter.

Look, Shinichi just told everyone about how he used a romance novel to disguise himself as a apology letter to fool his teacher.

"That's amazing... A 10,000-word romance novel also feels so exaggerated... Wow... I've written some short essays before, writing about my emotions when I was emo, but I could only write a few hundred words and that was it..."

"Oh?" Shinichi raised his eyebrows, became interested, and asked, "Send it to me so I can take a look? I can refer to it and help you improve your composition score~"

"Woo..."

A touch of white waves seemed a little embarrassed. After a moment of silence, he responded, "Well... okay."

Then, Shinichi saw the masterpiece from a little boy named Shiranai...

"Actually... I also want to live...

I also know that I am timid.

I don't even have the courage to die.

What a coward...

I have made up my mind countless times.

Say goodbye

Finish the letter

Can…

I just can't take that step.

I think I want to live too

But I just can't do it

like……

I just can't change

You've obviously given up struggling.

I can't hold on any longer...

Obviously…

I don't recognize myself anymore.

Na,

A good kid...

Right!

Right!

Right?

Right……

Maybe!

Sorry for wasting time.

I have a brain disease.

The three views are not normal..."

"...Puchi~" Lu Zhenyi looked at the emo poem uttered by Bai Lang and laughed in an unkind way. It's not that Lu Zhenyi is heartless, but how to put it... this really makes him hallucinate the blackened elementary school students in some short videos.

Shinichi didn't hide his anger and directly sent a "puchi.jpg" to Yimo Bailang on the other end of the chat. Yimo Bailang immediately replied with a shameful and embarrassed emoticon and asked, "What are you laughing at!"

"It's just... it feels like I'm reading about the dark history of my childhood."

"Ahhhhh!!!! I knew that nothing good would come out of that!"

"Hahaha~ Just a joke~" Lu Zhenyi laughed heartlessly and asked in a typing voice, "By the way, Bai Lang, are you unhappy about anything at school?"

"Um……"

"Someone bullied you?"

"……No……"

"Huh? No one bullies you? Then why are you so emo?"

A touch of white waves: "I just feel like... I can't fit in... I feel like other students are ignoring me, and the teachers don't care about me either... I feel so lonely in school..."

Lu Zhen couldn't help scratching his neck after hearing this, thinking: No one cares about me at school? Is there such a good thing?

For Shinichi, who has become accustomed to and begun to enjoy being alone, he now feels that Bailang's distress is unnecessary. However, after all, he himself has also been bullied before. Although he cannot empathize with the situation, he can understand it.

So, he earnestly explained: "Bai Lang, people don't need to live by the definition of others. Look at me, from elementary school to university, the number of classmates I have a good relationship with can be counted on one hand, and all of them are no longer in touch.

Did losing these friends, these relationships, and these social circles have any impact on me? My answer is no, not at all. Similarly, Bai Lang, you also need to understand that you should not take the relationship with your classmates too seriously.
