"There is no need …" Mo Sen answered Lu Ping's question without looking back. Then he disappeared as if he was flying. He didn't even go to eat.
"What happened?" Su Tang furrowed her brows. Anyone could see that Mo Sen's restless appearance was extremely abnormal.
"He looked like he had a lot on his mind." Lu Ping nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Do you want to go take a look?" Su Tang was a bit worried. She had seen a lot of fierce Mo Sen, but she had never seen him this distracted.
"I don't think I need to? Seeing me will only make him more depressed. "Lu Ping said.
"Why did he want you to go to Garden 18?" Su Tang asked this question again, but this time, Lu Ping didn't have time to answer before he was interrupted again.
Three people blocked in front of Lu Ping and Su Tang. They took advantage of the situation and stood separately, faintly forming an encirclement.
Zhenfeng College didn't have a uniform uniform, but these three people wore the same black uniform. On their left arm was a coat of arms embroidered with silver and gold characters, "Ji".
The Discipline Team!
They were mainly formed by students and assisted the college in maintaining order in the college. Many colleges had teams with similar responsibilities, but Zhenfeng College's Discipline Team was a bit of an awkward existence.
Because Zhenfeng College's rules weren't strict at all. Being late, leaving early, and skipping class were behaviors that would be strictly prohibited in most colleges, but in Zhenfeng College, they wouldn't even be asked. The Discipline Team didn't have much to do, and the vast majority of students had never interacted with the Discipline Team.
But Lu Ping was no stranger to the Discipline Team. Seeing the three people block in front of him, his face was full of helplessness, and he was especially familiar with it.
"What do you want now, seniors?" Lu Ping asked.
"What do you think?" The student in the middle of the three was called Siffin. He was a fourth-year student at Zhenfeng College and the current leader of the discipline team. When he heard the word "again" in Lu Ping's words, he became especially angry. Ever since he joined the Department of Discipline in the second year, he had been keeping an eye on Lu Ping, and he had been keeping an eye on him for almost three years.
He had barely attended any classes in the past three years and failed two exams. Only Zhenfeng College, with its loose rules, could tolerate such an existence. Xi Fan had always thought that it was the discipline team's responsibility to find this kind of unwelcome trash and expel him from the academy. Aside from failing the three rounds of examinations, the Zhai Feng Academy still had some other bottomline that they could not cross.
However, three years.
Siffin had been keeping an eye on Lu Ping for nearly three years, but he had yet to find anything on him. In other people's eyes, Lu Ping was just a useless piece of trash, but he couldn't even deal with a piece of trash. How could he swallow this?
However, he didn't have much time left. The annual exams were approaching. This time, if he passed, he would graduate and leave Zhenfeng College. If Lu Ping didn't pass, he would be expelled from the academy. No matter what the situation was, he would never be able to wash away the incompetence of him and the Discipline Team in the eyes of many people.
Within this week, he had to find Lu Ping's weakness!
Siffin attached great importance to this matter, even more so than his graduation exams.
Now that he finally found an opportunity, he stared at Lu Ping as if he was afraid he would run away.
Lu Ping continued to have a helpless expression: "Everyone is so familiar with each other, if you have something to say, just say it!"
"Don't try to get close to me." Siffin sternly scolded Lu Ping, "Did you do something to the observation pavilion in the 18th garden?"
"Of course not." Lu Ping said.
"Oh? Then why did someone coincidentally see you go to the 18th garden this morning? That place is rarely visited. "Siffin said.
"Who saw it?" Lu Ping asked.
"Still hoping for a fluke?" Siffin coldly laughed. He waved his hand and a person walked out from the crowd of students.
"Xiao Bao." Lu Ping greeted the person who walked out.
The student called Xiao Bao was startled. He and Lu Ping couldn't be said to know each other, let alone have spoken. It wasn't strange that he knew Lu Ping. Although Sticky Candy had a bad reputation, his fame in Zhenfeng College could be counted on one's fingers. But he, Wei Bao, was only an ordinary person in the academy. Being recognized by Lu Ping was a bit of a surprise. Moreover, he called him "Xiao Bao", a name that only close friends would call him.
"You guys know each other?" Siffin was also surprised.
"We don't know each other." The two said.
They didn't know each other, but they called each other's names so intimately? Siffin was puzzled, but he couldn't care about this right now. He signaled Wei Bao to say what he wanted to say first.
"At the T-junction in the northwest district, I saw Lu Ping coming from the east. North of the junction, it only leads to the 18th garden. "Wei Bao's face was full of confidence.
"This morning, you were the only one going in that direction. What else do you have to say?" Siffin was really confident this time. He had been watching Lu Ping for nearly three years. This was the first time he felt that he was so close to his goal.
"Just me? No way. Did you miss something in your information? "Lu Ping was puzzled.
"What do you mean?" Siffin was sure that Lu Ping was pestering endlessly. He sneered. He didn't mind enjoying this moment a bit more. After all, he had been looking forward to it for so long.
"You saw me go over?" Lu Ping suddenly asked Wei Bao.
"Yes." Wei Bao was also full of confidence.
"I saw you too." Lu Ping nodded.
"Ah?" Wei Bao was stunned. There was a flash of unnaturalness in his expression.
"Although you were hiding quite stealthily, I still saw it. You were with a girl, so I won't call out names. You saw me coming over, glanced at me, and ignored me. Because you were busy, your mouth was only 1.7 centimeters away from the girl's right face. Then you closed your eyes and moved closer with an intoxicated look. Then you opened your eyes? "
"I didn't!" Wei Bao quickly said without thinking.
"If you didn't open your eyes, how would you know if I went north or west at the junction?" Lu Ping said and made a very familiar helpless expression to Siffin. "Your witness this time is also unreliable!"
Siffin gritted his teeth. He had seen this expression many times in the past three years. The word "also" was also very harsh. Once again, the word 'incompetent' was written on his face.
Seeing Siffin's scary expression, Lu Ping was as calm as before. However, Wei Bao panicked. He had already realized his idiocy and couldn't help but explain to Siffin. "I … I was helping you!"
"Get lost!" Siffin didn't say anything else. He understood Wei Bao's mentality. There were too many people in the academy who looked down on Lu Ping. Countless people thought that Lu Ping was the culprit of the observation pavilion incident in the 18th garden. Siffin was the same. He also felt that Lu Ping was the most suspicious, but as a member of the discipline team, no matter what, he had to have clear evidence before he could make further deductions. He couldn't be like Wei Bao, taking it for granted and making things up out of prejudice. He had kept an eye on Lu Ping for almost three years, but he didn't make any progress. However, even if he carried the burden of incompetence on his back, he didn't think for even a second that he would use slander against Lu Ping. This was his bottom line. It was something that a member of the discipline team couldn't tolerate.
In that second, Siffin's disgust towards Wei Bao surpassed his disgust towards Lu Ping. But a second later, his hatred returned.
"There are six more days. I'll keep an eye on you," Siffin said to Lu Ping.
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior." Lu Ping smiled.
"Let's go." Siffin turned around and left with the two members of the discipline team without looking back. The other students then left. There was no lack of disdain in their words. Some were directed at Lu Ping, and some were directed at Siffin.
"Senior Siffin is really …" Su Tang didn't know what words he should use to describe him. Siffin's integrity was impeccable, but when it came to targeting Lu Ping, he was more prejudiced than anyone else. In the past three years, he was the person who came into contact with Lu Ping the most, aside from Su Tang. In the end, he only accumulated more and more prejudice against Lu Ping.
"It's a good thing he's about to graduate." Lu Ping let out a long sigh.
"Why did Teacher Mo Sen ask you to go to Garden 18? Does the incident at the viewing pavilion have something to do with you guys? "Su Tang began to make a very accurate connection.
"It's not just about us. It's also about you," Lu Ping said.
"Me?" Su Tang was stunned.
"That's why I said that Teacher Mo Sen really cares about you!" Lu Ping said.
Su Tang continued to stare blankly, but he faintly realized something. The expression on his face gradually became one of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"I just don't know if he has given up …" Lu Ping said.
Has he given up?
For the time being, Mo Sen hadn't considered this next step. The incident at the viewing pavilion made him feel uneasy, but the discussions he heard along the way finally calmed him down a little.
So far, he hadn't found any clues. Just a moment ago, he heard several students say with certainty that it was Lu Ping.
Of course, Mo Sen knew that it wasn't Lu Ping. Although he hadn't come out to admit it, he wasn't happy to see someone take the blame for him, even if that person was Lu Ping.
Several students were reprimanded by him, but they didn't feel ashamed. Instead, they all had a look of surprise on their faces. Someone would speak up for Lu Ping as if it was some kind of incomprehensible logic. Even after they left, they kept turning back to look at Mo Sen. They couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Mo Sen had taken.
What should I do?
Mo Sen scratched his head and came to the flowerbed near Lu Ping's hut. Zhenfeng College had twenty-two gardens, and this was his favorite. He always felt that the flowers and plants here seemed to have a special vitality, and they always grew especially energetic.
But at this moment, when he approached, he saw a person squatting in the flowerbed. He was dressed in green and had a straw hat on his head.
"Who?" Mo Sen rushed closer, wanting to see what this person was doing in the flowerbed.
"It's me!" When the person heard the voice, he stood up and turned around, taking off the straw hat on his head. He looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. The frequent exposure to the sun didn't leave him with a healthy and beautiful complexion. Instead, there were some traces of sunburn. At this moment, he looked at Mo Sen and laughed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"It's you, kid. How did you get here so quickly?" Mo Sen was happy, but at the same time, he was surprised.
"I was about to pass by here and was about to come see you, but then I received your letter."
"That's really a coincidence."
"So, what trouble do you need my help with?"
