Chapter 584: School Bully
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Among the school bullying, the impact was the greatest in the cla.s.s. If the students in the cla.s.s were affected by the post and ostracized Gu Man, it would be indelible damage to her heart.
Moreover, it was at such a critical moment.
Jiang Zi did not understand what he was feeling now, but when he thought about how Gu Man would be ostracized by that group of people and lick her wounds alone in a corner, his heart tightened inexplicably, as if he was grabbed by something.
He could only comfort himself in his heart that he had yet to find the truth. He just did not want the key person to be hurt.
After he stabilized his emotions, he scanned the crowd one by one. Seeing that most of the people’s emotions were stirred, he lowered his eyes. “1 don’t like to say those more hypocritical words. I know that we haven’t known each other for long, and I won’t leave a deep impression on you.”
Other than silence, there was only silence in the cla.s.s. For some reason, the students subconsciously lowered their heads at this moment. Only the nonchalant and straight Gu Man was a little outstanding.
“But 1 hope that before 1 leave, I can do my duty as a teacher. That is to teach you one last lesson, and the most important lesson in your lives.” Jiang Zi picked up the chalk on the podium and wrote four words on the blackboard.
School bullying.
When the words appeared, the cla.s.sroom was exceptionally quiet, as if one could hear a pin drop.
Jiang Zi’s gaze was like a sharp blade, making them avoid him. An inexplicable guilt lingered in everyone’s chest, and they subconsciously avoided it.
“You might not understand what school bullying is. It might just be a casual joke. It might just be a casual discussion between you and your friend behind their back. It might be an injury caused by your carelessness, or it might be because you hate someone and want to stay away from them, causing others to stay away from them too. It’s very far away from us and very close to us…” The expression on Jiang Zi’s face was especially serious. It was something they had never seen before.
In the past, Jiang Zi was more like their friend, but now, he truly displayed the demeanor of an outstanding student of Zhong Chu University. Every word he said was like a gem, but it also heavily struck the bottom of everyone’s hearts.
They kept reflecting on themselves, as if they were thinking about how they had become one of the school bullies this morning.
From the initial confusion to the final realization. They looked guiltily at Gu Man, the person at the center of the topic.
Jiang Zi swallowed his saliva to moisten the dryness in his throat. His gaze landed on Gu Man.
At this moment, Gu Man was no longer in a casual posture. She looked up and met Jiang Zi’s gaze in the air. There was a faint smile in her eyes, and the corners of her lips seemed to curl up, but they did not.
Her fair fingers brushed across the corner of the table. If one looked carefully, they could still feel her body trembling slightly.
It was not because she was touched, but because Gu Man was holding back her laughter.
Even though Jiang Zi had a serious expression, Gu Man could not help but want to laugh. However, this feeling was not bad. It was even a little warm.
Jiang Zi’s words deeply touched Xiao Xiao, who was beside Gu Man. At some point, her tears flowed down her face and dripped onto the table.
At this moment, her soul burned fiercely. She slammed the table and stood up. “This morning, although you didn’t ask, I know that you’re all curious about that matter and are guessing if it’s true. However, you’d rather believe in words on the Internet that are baseless than your cla.s.smate who has been with us for so long.”
Xiao Xiao’s words were like adding wings to a tiger after Jiang Zi.
Immediately, those people felt even more guilty. For some reason, the entire cla.s.sroom was filled with faint sadness.
She did not know if she was sad about how she became like this or sad about Jiang Zi’s departure.
Jiang Zi looked at Gu Man’s calm face and couldn’t help but curse. She was really heartless. She didn’t even smile when he was helping her..
