When Wei Yuan walked out the door, his phone suddenly rang. He opened it to find a video selfie sent by his former deskmate. Upon opening the video, he realized that the scene was set in his classroom, and he recognized several books placed on the podium as the ones he had brought to school that day.
Through this video, Wei Yuan learned that after the bell rang for the fourth period, it was indeed the class taught by their homeroom teacher, Language class. When she entered the classroom, she suddenly saw a few students packing their bags and preparing to leave. From the low-quality video, Wei Yuan discerned that these were the same few sycophants who hung around Chang Wei.
As soon as the homeroom teacher saw this scene, she shouted, "Stop! Where do you think you're going?"
The group replied, "We're skipping class! If Wei Yuan can skip class, why can't we?"
Wei Yuan's homeroom teacher was undoubtedly a woman, and now she was probably nearing thirty. If one were to look at it optimistically, she might marry and have children, lingering in confusion at the end of her years, not far from retirement. The reason for such a profound description of her was mainly due to her even more profound and striking name: Wu Yongsheng.
When Wei Yuan first saw her name on the blackboard at school, he felt a sudden respect; it took immense courage to bear such a name. This wasn't just an insult; one could imagine that "eternal life" represented coexisting with the earth. Besides being immortal, could there be a grand ambition of teaching and nurturing students for generations?
Wu Yongsheng did not expect that allowing Wei Yuan to leave would lead to so many issues. She quickly realized that these students were definitely targeting Wei Yuan. She explained, "He has special circumstances; there is an urgent matter at home and has already asked for leave!"
Who would have thought that the group would respond, "Well, we have urgent matters too! We want to ask for leave to go home right now!"
"Nonsense!" At this moment, Chang Wei stood up and criticized them in his capacity as Vice Class Leader.
"What others do is their business. Why do you choose to learn from them and skip class?" Wei Yuan then understood that this guy was pretending to defend the teacher but was actually targeting him.
However, Wu Yongsheng could only go along with Chang Wei's words: "Chang Wei is right; with the college entrance exams approaching, everyone should calm down and study hard!"
Chang Wei immediately seized on her words: "Teacher, that's reasonable. But Wei Yuan has been skipping school for a month and leaves whenever he feels like it. This behavior seriously affects us. I hope you can impose some punishment so we can focus on our studies."
Only after hearing this did Wu Yongsheng realize that he was actually stirring up trouble with those students. Unfortunately, this guy's methods were still so lowly; classmates who were aware of his usual behavior already understood everything in their hearts. Suddenly, everyone felt a sense of intellectual superiority arise within them.
Fortunately, this guy, despite his lack of skill in subtlety, continued his performance with a clueless expression: "This kind of bad leadership, once influenced by Wei Yuan, immediately causes people to become restless. Does this still look like a senior high school student? Everyone, take a look."
He didn't expect that his speech would fail to stir any emotions; everyone seemed to watch him like a grotesque performance, making him feel uneasy. It was the homeroom teacher who relieved the awkwardness: "Alright, no more of this. The teacher will handle these matters. Your task is to study hard. As for you few who have family issues and want to take leave, that's not a problem. I'll call your homes to verify!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of those few changed, and they quickly found excuses to distance themselves from the situation, hastily returning to their seats. However, after all this fuss, Chang Wei became the target of disdain, and everyone's contempt for him deepened.
Wei Yuan looked at the video sent to his phone and felt a surge of satisfaction, bursting into laughter.
Such a rare moment was not something Wei Yuan intended to delete. After pressing the save button, he remembered he still had important matters to attend to and hurriedly made a phone call. A few seconds later, he heard a middle-aged man's voice: "Are you Mr. Wei Yuan? The house has been found for you!"
"When can you take me to see it?" Wei Yuan replied.
The voice on the other end seemed to deliberately lower its volume: "Can we do it tonight?"
"Is it your company's habit to show houses at night?" Wei Yuan asked in confusion.
The caller probably thought it was better to be honest: "Mr. Wei, to tell you the truth, this house actually belongs to a relative of mine who is renting it out without going through the company, so I’ll take you to see it privately... you understand!"
Wei Yuan responded with an enlightened tone: "I see. It's easier for you to find tenants through the company, but bypassing your company saves some fees, right?"
Unexpectedly, the conversation revealed Wei Yuan's straightforwardness, causing an awkward laugh from the other side: "Haha, understanding is great."
After asking about the details of the house, Wei Yuan felt it was about right. At that moment, with the money in his pocket plus the advance payment from Liu Haisheng for selling books at school, he had over ten thousand yuan. With this money in hand, Wei Yuan took a taxi to the largest hospital in Jinghai City.
After waiting in line for registration and going through a series of diagnostic tests, the doctor confidently told Wei Yuan, "Buddy, you have no problems at all!"
What phrase in this world could be more powerful than "I love you"? Wei Yuan probably thought that hearing "your tumor is benign" was just as reassuring. Most people spend money on tests and endure the hassle just to confirm they are healthy, right?
However, upon hearing this, Wei Yuan felt a mix of embarrassment and anger: "Who doesn't have problems? My brain has issues, my body has problems. You all boast about how advanced modern science is, yet you can't even detect these minor issues!"
Wei Yuan had come because of the strange experiences he had at Luoxia Lake, where a mist-like space appeared in his mind. The two colors of mist that merged and consumed each other had caused a deterioration in his physical condition. When his exercise capacity dropped to less than one-third of what it used to be, his body could barely cope.
But the doctor misunderstood his words. After adjusting his glasses, he chuckled helplessly and said, "Buddy, I now believe your brain might really have a problem!"
Damn it! Wei Yuan clearly understood the ambiguity in that statement and felt frustrated. After paying the bill, he dragged his heavy feet out of the hospital.
The fact that they couldn't find any issues was hard for Wei Yuan to accept. They kept promoting how advanced science and medicine were, yet some things remained unexplained. For instance, could the scientific principles explain the repairing ability he unexpectedly gained?
[Recommended book: The author has no relation to me whatsoever, but everyone knows Zhang Hua, an author I greatly admire. His new book "The First Mashup in History" is enjoyable; I read the first four chapters and found it delightful. He puts a lot of effort into writing and is a role model for aspiring writers. By the way, I'm also asking for votes.]
