Chapter 30: Before he had even emerged from his mountain retreat, he already controlled a third of the empire.

  (Tomorrow is Monday. Prepare your recommendation tickets, everyone! If we can make it into the new book rankings, I'll give you three updates as a treat to readers. By the way, let's shout out loud: collect!)

  In the office, Li Xiaobai slightly lowered his head, with a humble and attentive expression.

  To say that Li Xiaobai is not a very patient person, but only in the office, he maintains super patience. How to say it, for the teacher's training, he cooperates just fine.

  It's just unknown whether Lin Nan will be grateful to him?

  "It's over..."

  When the bell rang for class dismissal, Li Xiaobai finally let out a sigh of relief.

  Lin Nan is too preachy, the last late self-study session was a whole hour, is she a good mother in China? Chinese good mother Li Xiaobai is not bad either, but you are a teacher now, can't you first take your profession seriously?

  "In short, I'll stop here for today... Tomorrow's home visit will be a good opportunity for me to have a thorough conversation with your parents."

  At the sound of the bell, Lin Nan waved his hand and said.

  Li Xiaobai had originally planned to make a quick escape, but upon hearing this, he involuntarily stopped in his tracks. If it's just said once here, that's fine, but going to his parents' place to say it again? Isn't the efficiency of saying one thing twice too low? And another thing, home visits are clearly just beautified and righteous tattling, tell me, who spread this bad habit, I'll go kill him!

  "Teacher," said Li Xiaobai, who couldn't help but speak up as soon as Lin Nan finished locking the door and turning off the lights, "tomorrow when we go on home visits, could you please be a bit more tactful? My parents aren't in great health, and as their only son, I'm really worried."

  "That's just a formality," Lin Nan said as she walked, "Besides, aren't you the one who dislikes beating around the bush?"

  That's what they say, but special people need to be treated specially. Lin Nan went to his house for a home visit alone, shouldn't he be a special person himself? However, I always feel that after saying this sentence, Lin Nan will start another long and grand speech again.

  It's like Tang Seng reciting the tight箍咒, Li Xiaobai can certainly get through it. However, Monkey King's life is infinite, he just suffers some pain. But I'm different, my head hurts, and time is quietly passing by, my life is also gradually slipping away. How could I think that continuing to argue with the teacher at this moment is too stupid?

  So it's better to give up strategically.

  Let me reiterate, it's a strategic retreat, not a rout.

  After parting ways with Teacher, Li Xiaobai subconsciously put his hands in his pockets and found them empty.

  The phone was left in the classroom?

  No choice, have to get it back. Raised his head and looked at the classroom of Grade 2 Class 3, fortunately, the lights were still on, there should be someone inside.

  Even if it were thrown onto the street, nobody would necessarily pick up Li Xiaobai's phone. However, Li Xiaobai still felt it was necessary to carry it with him.

  The phone is his friend, if it's a messy dorm at night, when three people are chatting, only one person is alone and can't help but feel a little awkward. At this time, put on headphones, make a "do not disturb" gesture, that's the rare harmony.

  Of course, the phone's friend function is not just that. The next morning, it will wake you up at a specific time to get up. And those guys in the dormitory, as soon as they wake up, they start making noise like beating drums and gongs...

  Even if you're a rooster crowing, can't maintain it at a specific time, so to say, compared to those savage guys, the mobile phone alarm is simply too considerate.

  Going up the stairs, walking out of the staircase, coming to the corridor, in the quiet night, even a small sound has an amplified feeling, so before approaching, Li Xiaobai heard the voice from Class 3 of High School.

  "Zheng Feixu, you'd better stay away from Guo Jingyuan from now on!"

  No response.

  "I'm telling you, did you hear me? Who are you pretending to be stupid for?"

  A rustling sound, and then the man from just now spoke again.

  It was Chen Huan! Didn't that little girl Guo Jing already reject him? Is this guy still not giving up?

  It's not right either, if you don't give up, why come looking for trouble with Zheng Feixu?

  It's settled, some people just like to find objective reasons. I reckon Chen Huan still thinks that Guo Jing rejected him because of the class monitor factor. After all, the class monitor is someone who can talk to Guo Jing, and he, Chen Huan, clearly doesn't have this opportunity. As they say, "to conquer internally, one must first secure externally". By driving away his competitor, the scope for being a backup option narrows further, increasing the possibility of becoming her boyfriend.

  But can you grasp the main contradiction? The key is that Guo Jing didn't even consider you as a backup plan.

  However, Chen Miao is not the worm in his stomach, knowing that he wants to teach Zheng Feixiang a lesson, so he proactively shifted the spearhead to him. Looking at it this way, before he even made his move, he has already divided the world into three parts, and Li Xiaobai is going to become Zhuge Xiaoliang again.

  Since Zheng Feixu has already been handed over to Chen Huan for punishment, letting him off lightly is also possible.

  Carefree and lighthearted, Li Xiaobai pushed open the classroom door with a flourish, glanced casually at several people, then walked back to his own desk, pulled out his phone from the desk drawer, and was about to leave.

  It wasn't until Li Xiaobai walked back to the classroom door that the few people inside reacted.

  "Li Xiaobai, stop right there!"

  A loud shout came from behind, and it was clear that the speaker was extremely angry.

  You think you're Lin Nan, telling me to stop and I'll stop. Li Xiaobai rolled her eyes, too lazy to bother with the other party. They were classmates, but neither side was their friend, and even if they wanted to mediate, they couldn't find a foothold.

  At this time, Li Xiaobai also understood why Zheng Feiyu, who was always pretending to be in the class, had a somewhat dispirited attitude. Chen Huan brought two students who were good at sports and practiced together, while he only had one person on his side. Zheng Feiyu liked to pretend, but now that there was no one else, who could he pretend for? So, his true nature was exposed.

  "I'm telling you again, stop right there, did you hear me?"

  "It's none of my business," said Li Xiaobai, slowly turning around. "Don't worry, I've always been someone who doesn't get involved in outside affairs and only focuses on reading the classics. If you guys want to fight or whatever, I didn't see anything."

  He must have just been afraid of being exposed.

  "Is that so, good student?" Chen Huan said disdainfully, "Then you forgot when you were being reckless in the dormitory?"

  "Impossible, Chen Heng?" A sports student with a slightly long face widened his eyes and looked at Li Xiaobai for a few seconds before saying, "This kid is the Li Xiaobai you mentioned, can't even beat him, aren't you too useless?"

  "This... this kid is playing tricks." Chen Huan's face turned bright red as he explained, and soon said gloomily, "However, don't let him off today."

  No way, I had forgotten about the time you got scolded in the dorm. You still remember it? This guy's learning ability is really poor, how come his memory is even better than mine?
