The bell rang for the third time. Ning Que tidied up the stationery and prepared to go to the old library to read as usual. Today he was anxious to leave a message for Chen Pipi, so he walked out of the study room in a hurry.
"As soon as the bell rang, we came here. I thought this speed was extremely fast, but I didn't expect that we almost passed by you. I don't understand why you are so anxious? Are you anxious to go to the old library to pretend to be diligent, or are you anxious to leave the Academy and pretend that you don't know about the semester exam and the gambling game that day? "
A group of people came in through the door, headed by Xie Chengyun and Zhong Dajun from the South Jin Kingdom.
After entering the door, Xie Chengyun greeted the students of Classroom Three with hands folded in front. He could not completely suppress the proud smile on his young face, but he still showed his gentle demeanor. Zhong Dajun, who was beside him, stood in front of Ning Que and tapped his palm with the folding fan in his hand. His expression seemed to be a smile, and his tone was extremely sarcastic.
"At least say a few words before you leave?"
Situ Yilan stood up and wanted to say something. But thinking that Ning Que did not take part in the semester exam, the A Dormitory students naturally won the gambling game, she suddenly did not know what to say and had to sullenly sit down again.
Jin Wucai knew how competitive she was, and could not help but shake her head. Then she stood up and walked to Xie Chengyun, gently and softly congratulating him, with a gentle smile on her face like a gentle breeze.
"Want me to say a few words?"
Ning Que looked at the A Dormitory students at the door and felt the complicated emotions cast by his classmates behind him. After a little thought, he looked at Zhong Dajun and said with a smile, "Then I will say a few words briefly."
Then he added, "But what does this matter have to do with you? Please excuse me. "
Zhong Dajun's face darkened, but he did not say anything more. He waved his fan and retreated to the side.
Ning Que and Xie Chengyun greeted each other with hands folded in front. As for what kind of complaints and disdain in their hearts, it was something that outsiders did not know. The study room suddenly became quiet, waiting to hear what he would say.
After a short pause, Ning Que looked at Xie Chengyun's pale cheeks and said with a smile, "There is no excuse. Since I did not take part in the semester exam, I naturally lost the gambling game. I remember the bet is to have a meal, so let's have a meal. You can choose the place and how many people you want to invite."
Xie Chengyun was slightly stunned and did not expect that Ning Que would admit defeat so openly. He could not say those words that he discussed with Zhong Dajun in the Zhong Mansion yesterday.
Seeing that Xie Chengyun didn't know how to deal with it, Zhong Dajun couldn't help but be annoyed that his friend was too gentle, so he sneered and interjected, "In order to avoid losing face in the semester exam, you even came up with such a despicable trick as pretending to be sick to avoid the exam. In the future, if we talk about it, you can shamelessly say that it's not that you're not a match for Third Young Master Xie, but that you're not in good health … When people like you invite us to dinner, we really worry that there's something strange at the table, so we definitely don't dare to go."
Ning Que slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at the Tang talent from Yang Valley. He said very seriously, "I remember that the letter of challenge was taken from Xie Chengyun. So whether the semester exam is good or bad, or whether I win or lose the gambling game, it is between me and him. What does it have to do with you? If you want to have a meal, it depends on whether I can save a chair for you or not. "
Zhong Dajun was not annoyed. He gently waved his fan and glanced at Xie Chengyun. Xie Chengyun did not want to be too aggressive in front of Jin Wucai, but he could not help but feel disgusted when he saw that Ning Que was still so eloquent and did not look ashamed. He frowned and said, "There is no need to have a meal. I just hope you can realize that your behavior really disgraces the Academy's reputation."
"I have to pay tuition fees to study in the Academy. I pay money and learn things at the same time. So I don't think I need to carry something like a thousand years of fame. Those things have nothing to do with me."
Ning Que raised his eyebrows more steeply and said, "As for you saying that I pretended to be sick to avoid the exam, you'd better not talk about this boring inference in the future. Since we are not familiar with each other, I absolutely don't mind suing you for slander."
The atmosphere in the study room gradually became tense because Ning Que was too calm and did not have any intention of giving in. Similar to Xie Chengyun's feeling, most students looked at Ning Que with more contempt.
Chu Youxian coughed twice and came forward to smooth things over. He said with a smile, "Knowing that you are not the opponent, but avoiding the battle to protect yourself is also a common means in the business world. You don't have to be so serious."
Ning Que glared at him and said, "Do you want to help me or pour a few buckets of dirty water on me?"
"If you can't win the exam, just admit defeat. Why do you use such a rogue trick?" Someone in the study room suddenly said.
Ning Que did not turn his head to look at the source of the voice, but he knew that it was a student in the same room. After a moment of silence, he looked at the classmates around him who showed contempt, puzzlement and many complicated expressions, smiled uninterestedly, and then began to speak.
"I don't care whether you believe what I say or not, and I don't care whether you will secretly call me a coward or not. Because our levels are not the same. You can say that I am unreasonable, because I don't have the spirit to reason with you."
"As Her Highness said outside the old library that day, you are just some flowers in the greenhouse. Although you look beautiful, you have to hide from the outdoor storm. You have nothing to do all day long, so you have to show off everywhere and rack your brains to make some slanting wind and drizzle to show your strength and ability."
"But it's none of my business. If I'm interested in playing with you, then I'll play. If not, then I won't play. "
"Don't think about questioning me with things like integrity and bearing. You care about things like integrity, bearing and morality, but I don't. When you were still lying in your mother's arms and being threatened by her with grassland Horse Gang because you refused to drink milk, I was already playing with the Horse Gang's head on the grassland. "
"I just said, I don't care whether you will laugh at me behind my back, I am a coward and a rascal, but you must remember, from now on, don't let me hear you laugh at me, because I don't like it."
"Don't ignore my threat, if you don't want to have your head turned into a ball like those Horse Gang's."
After saying this, he did not look at the people in the study room again. He waved his hand to signal the Grade A Dormitory students in front of him to make way. He raised his head and puffed out his chest, walked out of the door, and walked along the rain-sheltered corridor to the back of the Academy.
He was originally in a good mood, but because of these dirty things that popped out of nowhere, his mood was really bad. Especially when he found that even those classmates who were familiar with him did not mean to defend him, but believed what Zhong Dajun said, he was even more annoyed.
Since he was annoyed, he did not bother to pretend to be a gentle, cute, and harmless primary school student, and directly expressed his feelings.
Chu Youxian looked at the back of the figure in the rain-sheltered corridor and hurriedly caught up with him. He shook his head and sighed, "This is great, you have offended all of my classmates, I have to keep a distance from you in the future."
"Then why do you still want to catch up at this time?" Ning Que said with a smile.
"You said that they are little brats, but the girls in dozens of brothels in Chang 'an can prove that I am not a little brat, so I don't think that your words hurt me." Chu Youxian said with a smile, "Moreover, if I have a good relationship with you, I might be able to get close to the top girl in the House of Red Sleeves in the future. You don't have to look at me like this, don't worry, I will only look at Dewdrop from afar, I just want you to introduce Lu Xue to me."
Ning Que looked at him sideways and said with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of offending a large group of classmates?"
"Everyone in the Academy knows that we have a good relationship, if you fall out with them and I leave you behind, I will be judged as heartless by those pedants. You know that I don't like to study, and I can't get used to seeing those pedants."
Chu Youxian laughed at himself, stopped and said, "So I have to comfort you in front of them, but as you said, I can't go against the Academy, so I have to go back now."
…
…
For a border town soldier who had lived a bloody life since he was young and could be described as killing people like flax on the grassland, he was not used to the quiet and peaceful life in the Academy, not to mention those classmates who grew up in a peaceful and peaceful world.
The evaluation above was Ning Que's true feelings, but to the students in the study room, this evaluation was undoubtedly the most vicious attack, and they could not help but be stunned on the spot.
To the Third Young Master Xie of South Jin Kingdom, the bet with Ning Que on the semester exam was a very important matter. That was because he had been defeated by this seemingly ordinary lad during the Academy Entrance Examination and had suffered a crushing defeat at the old library. He had even been coldly reprimanded by the Fourth Princess of Tang. He had hoped that this bet could help him regain his confidence.
It was a rare good result to get an A + in five courses. Xie Chengyun's joy inevitably gave birth to some pride. Today, he brought his companions to Classroom Three, not necessarily to humiliate Ning Que, but also to show off his brocade clothes.
For Zhong Dajun, after entering the Academy, all the limelight had been taken by Xie Chengyun and Ning Que, as well as Linchuan Wang Ying, who was only 14 years old. As a talent carefully cultivated by the Yang Guan Family, how could he be reconciled? Xie Chengyun and Wang Ying had a great reputation before entering the Academy, and one of them was his close friend, while the other was too young. But who was Ning Que? How could he be above him?
Therefore, for this semester exam bet, he was even more attentive than Xie Chengyun. Today, coming to Classroom Three was undoubtedly to humiliate Ning Que, and at the same time, to expose his scoundrel and insidious face to the Academy students.
However, whether it was Xie Chengyun or Zhong Dajun, or those Grade A Dormitory students who followed them to Classroom Three to watch the fun and cheer, they did not expect that after such a despicable and cowardly act, Ning Que would not feel ashamed at all, and instead, he reprimanded them for their humiliation.
They had originally come to humiliate him, but in the end, Ning Que used a trick called unreasonable to block all of them, and instead, they were humiliated by him. Therefore, those students who had some doubts that Ning Que might really be sick on the day of the semester exam were not willing to think in that direction again.
Not only them, but all the young students, including the students of Classroom Three, were enraged by Ning Que's seemingly forceful reprimand, but in fact, unreasonable. Even the most ordinary student from a commoner's family was loved in the school of their hometown. How could they endure the ridicule of a group?
"Forget it, don't lower yourself to that guy's level."
A student suppressed his unwillingness and reminded the crowd, "After all, he is an old friend of the princess."
