Chapter 157 If You Don’t Care You Won’t Get Hurt
On Monday, the four of them got up early, washed up and went to school.
They were staying in the community yesterday, and their roommates thought they had just returned to school from home this morning, so they didn't ask.
The morning reading class began and the head teachers of each class started to patrol the classroom.
Lin Yuchen, Li Changyan, Liu Haoran and Li Jia each found their class teacher and told him that their families had helped them rent a house in the nearby community and that they would not live there anymore.
The class teachers are no longer surprised by this matter. After all, every year there are high school students who rent houses outside, and they can understand it.
Their respective class teachers agreed and said they would help them vacate the dormitory.
The four of them were very happy. From now on, they could take a shower whenever they wanted and study as late as they wanted without having to worry about access control.
Moreover, I live in my own room. The bed is much bigger than the ones in school and comes with a mattress, which is very comfortable.
On Monday, with the help of their respective class teachers, the four of them completed the process of checking out of the dormitory.
Lin Yuchen left the mini refrigerator in the dormitory to his former roommate. Liu Haoran and the others also told their roommates that they had rented a house outside alone. They did not say whether they shared the house with anyone or where they rented it.
The days passed one by one, and soon the first mock exam was approaching.
Since they moved out, the four of them started taking make-up lessons as they did in the freshman year of high school, asking each other questions about knowledge points. Of course, this was limited to Chinese, math and English, because Li Changyan majored in liberal arts!
During this period, Lin Yuchen found a weekend to go to SZ City to deal with the decoration of the house, shop and office building. When he came back, he also bought two computers and a printer.
He has one laptop for his personal use and another notebook in the living room, which is connected to a printer so that Li Changyan and others can print out the knowledge points they have sorted out.
Just when everyone was busy studying for the mock exams, some rumors suddenly spread in the school, and no one knew how they spread.
It was said that Li Changyan and Lin Yuchen were living together outside, and Liu Haoran and Li Jia were also living together. The story sounded very detailed, and there were even several versions of where the house they lived in was, but no one version was the correct answer.
Friday evening, senior high school teaching building, top floor.
"I'm so drunk! Let me know which gossip is so mean, I'll make her pay." Liu Haoran punched the fence and said angrily.
Li Jia didn't say anything, but his eyes were red, and he was obviously very angry.
Li Changyan had gained experience after being slandered in her freshman year of high school, so she was more open-minded this time.
She walked over to Li Jia, put her arm around his shoulders, and comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay, relax, other people have their mouths on them, no matter what they say, as long as we have a clear conscience, it won't hurt us if they say a few words."
Liu Haoran and Li Jia looked at her in surprise at her calm words, as if she was not among those who were spread rumors.
"You can tolerate this? Are you Li Changyan?" Liu Haoran looked at Li Changyan and asked in disbelief.
Li Changyan raised his eyebrows: "What else? I am so angry because of a few words from an irrelevant person. What's the point? This will only play into the hands of the rumormongers."
"The people who spread the rumors just can't stand us doing well and are jealous of us, so they want us to fight among ourselves. I don't want that. Instead, I want to live a normal life, or even live a better life."
"Wouldn't it be better to use the energy and time you've wasted to study? If you can move up a few places in the mock exam, you can piss off the rumormongers to death."
Although she didn't know who spread the rumor, adults would not do such a childish thing. It was most likely done by someone of the same age, or maybe someone they knew.
But this is no longer important. As long as she doesn't care, rumors can't hurt her at all.
Lin Yuchen was very relieved when he saw Li Changyan who was not affected.
As for himself, it doesn't matter even more.
Compared with the cold stares, ridicule and slander he suffered when he failed in his business in his previous life, this is nothing.
Li Changyan patted Li Jia's shoulder, then looked at Liu Haoran and said, "Don't worry too much about what others think. An eagle tied with a chain cannot fly high. Just be yourself and don't live in the words of others. It's meaningless."
She had seen this passage in a novel. She thought it was very well written so she copied it down in her little notebook. She didn't expect it would be so relevant to use it now.
She was deeply involved in the last rumor about her and Lin Yuchen. Looking back on it later, she felt that the internal friction at that time was ridiculous.
Looking at the backs of Li Changyan and Lin Yuchen disappearing at the stairs, Liu Haoran and Li Jia suddenly forgot to react.
The two looked at each other, then smiled bitterly: "We are not as good as them."
However, Li Changyan's words finally worked. Liu Haoran and Li Jia no longer dwelled on the same thing. They put all their time and energy into studying, vowing to do better in the mock exam.
However, although they were so calm, some people could not sit still.
Normally, as long as the parties involved do not respond to this kind of rumor, the matter will fade away over time.
But this time it was as if someone was manipulating things from behind the scenes. The heat was not going down for a long time and it was getting more and more intense. If it was spread further, Lin Yuchen and his family would even have a child. It was really outrageous.
It would not be a big deal if it only spread within the school, but the school leaders are afraid that such nonsense will spread outside the school and affect the school's reputation and image.
The school leaders were extremely angry about the people who spread rumors behind the scenes. "They are bastards with no sense of the overall situation. If I knew who was behind this, I would fire them directly," the principal said angrily in the office.
He seriously doubted whether the person behind the scenes had a grudge against Lin Yuchen and the others or against him?
Four of his top seeds are going to be eliminated at once, especially Lin Yuchen, who is a hot candidate for the provincial top scorer. What a good kid!
After the incident, the school leaders observed them carefully and did not find any inappropriate behavior.
On the contrary, these four people were able to maintain their original intentions and work harder to study even though they were caught up in rumors. They are simply role models for students!
The principal also asked the class teacher to comfort them, saying that the school leaders and teachers believed in them, and asked them not to be affected or distracted and to study hard.
In order to resolve this matter and to reassure the teachers, Lin Yuchen asked the school principal and the head teacher to accompany them to the rental house, and the parents also accompanied them.
The parents are Liu Haoran's mother and Li Changyan's mother. They knew that their children had moved out to rent a house. At first, they were worried that the children could not take care of themselves, but when they came to the rental house on the weekend, they found that the environment was good and the children were doing things in an orderly manner.
A few adults discussed it and decided to move out to live here. A good environment is conducive to study and it can also develop children's hands-on ability, which is pretty good.
As for the children's mischief, they are not worried at all, because their children are very sensible!
And if they live outside, they can occasionally come and cook for them, which is even better.
The two mothers didn’t know anything about what happened at the school. Li Changyan and the others just told them that the teacher would come to their home for a home visit today and asked them to help entertain him.
The two mothers put down what they were doing and came to the rental house to clean it in advance and prepare fruits for the school teachers to come.
During the reception, the two kept saying nice things to the four children. They were afraid that the school leaders would misunderstand that the children were living together at such a young age, so they said that they, the adults, had discussed it and decided to take turns living here to take care of the children.
The school teachers were completely reassured after the visit. Each student has his or her own room and the parents live with them. What is there to worry about?
Looking at the large bookshelf in the living room, it was full of books. There was not even a TV, and the walls were covered with slogans urging people to study hard.
Especially the sentence "strive to be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, and bring honor to the school" really touched the principal's heart. He asked Lin Yuchen's class teacher to take photos on the spot as evidence, and then made a statement about the matter on the school bulletin board.
This means that Lin Yuchen and his friends are roommates, and have parents and elders living with them to take care of their daily lives. The negative situations mentioned in the rumors do not exist. Students are advised not to spread false information, and to have the ability to judge right from wrong and not just follow what others say.
Finally, the statement contained study slogans posted by Lin Yuchen and others, calling on all students in the school to study hard and bring honor to the school.
At this point, the farce finally came to an end.
The four have each grown in this controversy, especially Liu Haoran and Li Jia, who have become more mature and stable and are no longer easily influenced by outside voices.
