Chapter 22 I Want to Drop Out

  Wang Qianqian immediately pulled Wang Laoshi outside the door and quietly told him about the whole thing, then she stared at Wang Laoshi firmly, wanting to verify whether Feng Xiaotian's words were true or not.

  Teacher Wang heard Wang Qianqian's words and thought for a moment. She recalled Chen Hongmei's hesitation earlier, and now seeing Wang Qianqian's calm expression, she already believed Wang Qianqian's words. However, after thinking it over, the words that came out of her mouth were: "No matter what, getting into conflicts with classmates is not good. Feng Xiaotian should not have insulted his classmate and he should write a self-criticism to reflect on his mistakes."

  Wang Qianqian was stunned as soon as she heard this, although she thought Feng Xiaotian's analysis was reasonable, but she still had confidence in Teacher Wang. She felt that someone like Teacher Wang, who was so kind and gentle, would definitely handle the matter fairly, but it turned out that she was wrong, Teacher Wang's reaction was exactly as Feng Xiaotian had predicted!

  Feng Xiaotian clearly heard Mr. Wang's words in the classroom, and saw him smile self-deprecatingly, then took the neatly arranged new books to the door and said to Mr. Wang: "Mr. Wang, thank you for your guidance over the past six months. I think I'm no longer suitable for staying here. I want to drop out of school. These books were just issued this morning and are still brand new. Now I'll return them to you. Can you refund me the book fees?"

  Feng Xiao Tian spoke naturally, his tone without a ripple. When he said the four words "I want to drop out", it was as if he were talking about someone else. At this moment, his slender figure stood straight, both hands holding books and handing them over to Teacher Wang, looking very calm.

  Teacher Wang was shocked to see the dried blood on Feng Xiaotian's face, and his mouth and nose were all covered in it! She could imagine what had happened when Feng Xiaotian fought with Li Xiaohu.

  Teacher Wang had just walked into the classroom when all attention was drawn to Wang Qianqian, and she hadn't noticed Feng Xiaotian's miserable state until now. At this moment, Teacher Wang was a bit stunned.

  Wang Qianqian heard Feng Xiaotian's words and couldn't help but snatch the book from his hand, then loudly said to him: "Feng Xiaotian - you're not wrong again, why do you want to drop out? The one who should drop out is Li Xiaohu! He not only scolded you, but also hit you! Why can't you persist? You——"

  Feng Xiao Tian didn't let Wang Qian Qian finish speaking, and immediately interrupted: "At this point, saying anything is meaningless. I just want to drop out of school, that's all. Thank you for your concern, Wang Qian Qian. Although this outcome isn't what you wanted to see, it's what the vast majority of people are willing to see. This is currently the most suitable solution. You're still young and don't understand the reasoning behind this."

  Feng Xiao Tian calmly said, "Teacher Wang, as your student, I really feel sorry and apologize for the trouble I've caused. I'll return these books to you, so... can you please refund me the textbook fees?"

  Feng Xiao Tian's words just now were heard by Wang Laoshi word for word, and then transmitted to her mind through the auditory system, after which emotional fermentation made her heart no longer calm.

  Feng Xiao Tian is only fifteen years old this year, but the words he says are even more profound than some adults! Are these words something a fifteen-year-old boy can say?

  "This result may not be what you want to see, but it is what the vast majority of people want to see..."

  "This is currently the most feasible solution..."

  These words seemed to turn into a stone, dropping into Teacher Wang's heart lake, the ripples caused by the stone spread out layer by layer, touching the softest part of Teacher Wang's heart; these words also seemed like a slap in the face, slapping Teacher Wang's face fiercely, making her feel burning hot on her face, and for a long time, Teacher Wang didn't say a word.

  Wang Qianqian was stunned after hearing Feng Xiaotian's words, she knew that Feng Xiaotian had made up his mind, although her interaction with Feng Xiaotian was limited, but she could feel Feng Xiaotian's stubborn personality, she knew that no one could change the decision made by Feng Xiaotian.

  Feng Xiao Tian saw that Wang Laoshi was not speaking and opened his mouth again: "Wang Laoshi, this is the book fee, can you return it to me?"

  For Feng Xiaotian, the 28 yuan and 50 cents spent on books was a huge sum of money. It was all earned by picking up scraps and saving from his frugal life. At any time, he did not want to spend the money he had earned himself in vain.

  Teacher Wang came back to her senses after hearing Feng Xiaotian's words, and she said softly: "Feng Xiaotian, you'd better stay here. I haven't paid enough attention to you, which is my fault. From now on, study hard in class, as for this matter...I will handle it properly."

  Feng Xiao Tian heard this and couldn't help but laugh...

  Half an hour later, Feng Xiaotian retrieved the 28.5 yuan for buying textbooks from Teacher Wang. The bloodstains on his face had been washed clean, but the bruises were still quite noticeable. With the military canvas bag that had been washed until it was almost white slung over his shoulder, he walked out of the office and headed straight downstairs. His expression looked rather relaxed, with a faint hint of a smile on his face. For him, this might have been the best choice after all.

  Although Teacher Wang had made an effort to persuade him, Feng Xiaotian was determined not to stay in school anymore. After half an hour of futile persuasion, Feng Xiaotian left. Teacher Wang felt that she had handled the matter wrongly from the start and had made a big mistake. It wasn't until she heard Wang Qianqian's words that she realized how Feng Xiaotian had been treated in class. Despite this, she chose to shield those malicious students, leading to the current outcome, for which she was also responsible.

  Teacher Wang sat silently in the office, and Wang Qianqian, who was standing beside her, hesitated for a moment before rushing out of the office. She caught up with Feng Xiaotian at the corner of the second floor and then loudly asked him: "Feng Xiaotian, why do you have to be like this? Teacher Wang just said that, can't you consider her kindness?"

  Feng Xiao Tian stopped in his tracks upon hearing the words, a faint smile on his face. He turned to Wang Qian Qian and said, "Wang Qian Qian, you're a good person, but you're still young, there are some things you don't understand."

  Feng Xiao Tian's tone of speaking was quite calm, but listening to it made one feel somewhat old-fashioned and out of place, which formed a stark contrast with his youthful face, making people feel very strange.
