Chapter 8: Send You Out of Changzhou

Chapter 8: Send You Out of Changzhou

The room remained silent until Gu Zhuo stood up and walked into the hall.

People never expected the truth of the matter to be like this. Their faces were filled with shock and bewilderment. They thought this matter was really absurd. They wanted to say something to explain it, but they were speechless.

Inside the hall, the professor on duty looked at Gu Zhuo, sighed with a complicated expression, hesitated for a moment, and finally signed his name on the withdrawal application to indicate his agreement.

Judging from his previous words, Gu Zhuo still has deep feelings for Changzhou Academy. The reason why he decided to drop out today is that he is too disappointed with the current situation and is heartbroken.

Instead of forcing him to stay, it would be better to do it quickly and let him know that not all the people in Changzhou Academy are of the same kind, so as to leave a trace of warmth in his heart.

After a few days, when this matter is settled, maybe he will become a student of Changzhou Academy again?

Thinking of this, the professor on duty at the college shook his head imperceptibly and threw the idea out of his mind. He thought that things had become like this, how could it be easy to put things back together?

Moreover, this was a wild and extravagant idea at a time when the dean was away on a journey and the power of the academy was in the hands of the vice-dean.

The more he thought about it, the more helpless he felt. He reached out and patted Gu Zhuo's shoulder, whispered an apology, and handed him the signed application for withdrawal.

Professor Liu looked at this scene and thought about the school rules he had seen ten days ago, his eyes filled with despair.

However, at this moment when even his greatest backer in the academy had to remain silent and watch the other party leave with dignity, what qualifications did he have to stand up and point out that everything that happened today was premeditated by Gu Zhuo?
……

……

“The view from this hill is pretty good.”

Lin Wanyi took one last look at the green hills behind her, with a hint of appreciation in her voice.

Beside her, Gu Zhuo, who was carrying a simple bag, did not turn around and said, "It's good to live here."

Hearing this answer, the students of Changzhou Academy who were skipping classes in groups looked at Gu Zhuo with more complicated eyes, including reluctance, touching, and confusion. They just felt that their senior brother still had the academy in his heart.

Yes, when Gu Zhuo walked out of the hall with the signed notice of expulsion, the surging crowd did not retreat, like waves crashing against rocks and breaking into fine snow foam and disappearing, but instead condensed into a torrent that could not be ignored, always following him.

Strangely, few people spoke along the way, and silence became the main theme.

Lin Wanyi suddenly asked: "Do you think it looks like that?"

"like what?"

Gu Zhuo was a little confused.

Lin Wanyi pointed at the luggage behind him, indicating that it looked like a coffin, then looked at the silent crowd and said sincerely, "Funeral."

Gu Zhuo was slightly stunned, thinking that this seemed to be the case.

Lin Wanyi seemed to be sighing, and before he could speak, she sighed and said, "After all, the Senior Brother Gu in everyone's mind died today."

When she said this, she didn't deliberately lower her voice. Everything was so natural, as if she was just chatting casually.

As soon as the words were spoken, many students who had been keeping silent suddenly became furious.

"Lin Wanyi, do you really think you are so great?"

"We are just pretending that you don't exist. Can you please understand this?"

"Don't you think there's anyone here who can shut you up?"

Lin Wanyi was not angry when she heard this, but was very happy instead.

The girl took a step forward gracefully, and was about to roll up her sleeves, preparing to say the three words "please give me your advice" with utmost sincerity and compete with the students present.

Gu Zhuo couldn't help but look at her.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from deep in the crowd, calm and restrained.

"Don't take Lin Wanyi's words seriously. She is just trying to stir up trouble and make the academy lose face."

Lin Wanyi felt disappointed and wondered who was so uninteresting and boring?
Can't we think about defeating her today to prove that even without Gu Zhuo, Changzhou Academy is still the number one in Wangjing?
What's more, after today, what face will Cheung Chau Academy have?

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a little girl squeezing out from the crowd. Her eyes were always fixed on Gu Zhuo, without even looking at her. Her little face was mature beyond her age.

"Brother Gu, I and everyone present here are very grateful for everything you have done over the past three years."

The little girl looked serious and said solemnly: "This will not disappear because of the choice you made today. I believe this is also the reason why we are standing here to see you off." Gu Zhuo thanked him warmly.

The little girl squatted slightly, bowed to him seriously, and then stood aside.

With this action, the silent crowd gradually parted, making way for Gu Zhuo.

In the distance, many professors from the college who witnessed this scene were sighing with emotion at this moment.

They knew very well that in the eyes of these students, the reason why Gu Zhuo insisted on dropping out of school was to expose the dark side of the academy to the light. It was a fearless choice made out of helplessness and he was a victim.

After all, no young boy or girl would be willing to take the vice-president's class called reality.

Gu Zhuo and Lin Wanyi walked side by side on that grand avenue.

For a long time afterwards, the students remained silent and simply followed the two men.

Until the gate of the academy, when the professors who were watching silently thought that everything was about to end, suddenly there were young and immature shouts that merged into one, resounding throughout the Cheung Chau Academy.

"Brother Gu, no matter what happens, you will still be our brother in our hearts!"

This was undoubtedly to encourage Gu Zhuo.

Lin Wanyi couldn't help but look at him.

Gu Zhuo stopped but did not look back. He just waved his hand behind him, indicating that there was no need to see him off.

He then left Changzhou Academy.

The public became even more indignant.

At the same time, a small-scale meeting took place deep in the academy.

The vice president raised his head, looked at his colleagues present, and said expressionlessly: "Don't look at me like that. You all know why I don't want to hand over the Tongsheng Pill."

He was silent for a moment, then said, "The summer festival is not far away, let's hurry up and discuss how the academy should treat Gu Zhuo next."

……

……

It is still early spring, but it feels strangely hot today. Perhaps it is because of the constant gazes along the way?
In short, Gu Zhuo and Lin Wanyi only had space to talk after they stepped into the gate of the Lin family mansion.

"Your reputation in Changzhou Academy is even higher than I thought."

"Maybe it's because I sometimes act as a teacher and give advice and answer questions?"

"I think the main reason is that you are good at manipulating people."

"You think too much."

"Really? Then what about what you said in front of the temple today?"

"The vice president asked me for an explanation, so I gave him one, that's all. The root cause of all this is that my request was granted, but he refused to admit it and tried to trick me into doing things for him?"

Gu Zhuo's voice was very gentle, as if he was narrating something that had nothing to do with him.

Lin Wanyi looked at him deeply and suddenly changed the subject: "Do you think I am satisfied with today's excitement?"

Judging from the fact that the girl inexplicably provoked the students present on her way out of the academy, she was undoubtedly dissatisfied.

But Gu Zhuo doesn't think so.

"You are very satisfied."

He said: "Because today you saw with your own eyes that those old immortals were humiliated and unable to refute."

Lin Wanyi raised her eyebrows and asked, "If that's the case, why would I provoke your classmates?"

Gu Zhuo didn't even think twice and said directly: "Because you were in such a good mood at that time, your hands were itching to do it."
