The Sick Villain Just Want to Live

No apology accepted.

Only penalty results are accepted.

His merciless refusal made the office silent for a few seconds.

Lu Shiman’s hand hanging by her side tightened, she took a deep breath, then smiled again. She reached out to hold Zhu Tong’s hand, “Student Zhu Tong…”

Zhu Tong retracted his hand, looked at her and said, “Lu-laoshi, it’s better not to touch me. I’m not in good health. If you touch me lightly, I might vomit blood again.”

“…”

Lu Shiman immediately gritted her teeth hard until her back molars grinded. 

This was throwing her words on her own face! 

She has never met such a difficult student before, and she was slapped in the face after repeated gentle gestures, making her face turn cold, “Student Zhu Tong, you have to be forgiving and big-hearted. Do you know that a student’s demerit has a big impact on him? It is a lifetime of stains on his life, and it will affect his future. Everyone is a student of the same school, you can’t…” 

“No,” Zhu Tong reiterated with a cold demeanor, “I don’t know the effect of such demerit, but I only know the effect of being thrown against the wall to my own body.” 

Lu Shiman: “He… he didn’t know that you were in poor health, and he didn’t do anything to you on purpose.”

Zhu Tong: “I didn’t know that coughing up blood would make him suffer such a severe punishment, and I didn’t intend to do that either.” 

“You…”

Lu Shiman’s face suddenly turned black.

Zhu Tong sneered in his heart.

It wasn’t intentional, was it?

Since Xiang Chuan didn’t know, then he should be guilty, right?

Trying to morally kidnap him?

Dream on! He has no morals to kidnap! 

Seeing that Lu Shiman was speechless, Zhu Tong said again, “If Lu-laoshi has no more to say, then I’m going back to class.” 

“W-what do you want?” Lu Shiman said suddenly, stopping Zhu Tong in his tracks.

Lu Shiman looked at him and said, “How can you agree to cancel Xiang Chuan’s demerit?”

Zhu Tong: “…”

Is this going to be… privately dealt with?

Shi Wenshu also frowned, “Lu-laoshi, what do you mean?”

Lu Shiman ignored her fellow teacher, only focusing on Zhu Tong. With a haughty expression on her face, she claimed, “No matter what you want , this teacher will try her best to satisfy you, as long as you agree.”

Xiang Chuan’s family background was very good, no matter what conditions Zhu Tong puts forward, she should be able to meet them.

Otherwise, there was the Xia family as a back-up.

Xia Yang was a sensible and obedient child. As long as she asked Xia Yang, it was not a problem to ask the Xia family to help.

And it’s no secret who was Xia Yang’s family in No. 1 Middle School. If Zhu Tong was smart, he should accept it as soon as he gets this offer. 

She was full of confidence, but she didn’t realize that Xia Yang who was standing beside her had already frowned quietly.

He deliberately reminded Lu Shiman: “Lu-laoshi…”

“I’m afraid I will disappoint this teacher,” Zhu Tong continued, “I don’t lack anything, maybe except justice. If Lu-laoshi is not satisfied with the school’s decision, you can talk to the principal. If you keep delaying me to come back to class and my studies, then I can only ask the principal to judge.”

“…”

Lu Shiman didn’t expect him to be so stubborn, so she was stunned for a moment.

Zhu Tong has turned to look at Shi Wenshu. Unlike his aggressiveness towards Lu Shiman, his attitude towards Shi Wenshu was polite and sincere, “I’m sorry Shi-laoshi, for causing you trouble.” 

Shi Wenshu was originally worried about Zhu Tong, and he actually wanted to speak in his stead to protect him multiple times. 

As a result, he couldn’t speak at all from the beginning to the end.

Although Zhu Tong is physically weak, his temper was not soft.

The Chinese teacher nodded in relief, “It’s nothing to worry about. Go back to class, I will be there in a while.”

Zhu Tong nodded. When he left, he glanced at Xia Yang as if nothing big had happened.

Xia Yang’s scalp was numb from his sight.

Others don’t know about Zhu Tong’s family, but he does.

He didn’t expect that Lu Shiman would come up with such a stupid solution.

Want to buy Zhu Tong’s silence with material things? Isn’t it self-defeating?

Even he was ridiculed.

He shouldn’t have come here today!

The three of them froze in the office, and Shi Wenshu had already got up with his lesson plan, “Lu-laoshi, let’s go back. Instead of asking the victim’s forgiveness here, it’s better to teach your students not to repeat these mistakes.”

After speaking, he walked out of the office, leaving Lu Shiman and her two students. 

Xiang Chuan was lost and confused, while Xia Yang was full of impatience.

Lu Shiman’s new manicure almost got embedded in the palm of her hand.

Zhu Tong returned to his seat and let out a long sigh of relief.

He kind of realized how unreasonable it was for the people around the heartthrob to “protect his weaknesses”.

People around him would protect him with such vigor. It sounded really cool in the said heartthrob’s POV. But for a cannon fodder like him, it was like a disastrous injustice. 

He came to Gongshui County No. 1 Middle School and was in constant trouble within just a few days. He didn’t know how Shao Ming got around in the past six months, during when Xia Yang transferred here. 

Xia Yang transferred during his 3rd year of junior high school. Although this school wasn’t an elevator school, the junior high school that Xia Yang transferred to was next door to this school. 

He was good-looking, with good grades and a good family background. He was very popular in junior high and high school, and he was blatant in his pursuit of Shao Ming.

In the eyes of others, Shao Ming was favored by Xia Yang, an existence that makes most people jealous and envious.

But Zhu Tong knows that being pursued by someone he doesn’t like and making a scene known to everyone was actually a very troublesome thing.

Especially being liked by heartthrobs with a powerful halo.

Xia Yang only cared about expressing his enthusiasm, but he didn’t care how much trouble his enthusiasm would bring to Shao Ming.

Originally Shao Ming had a good, peaceful  life. Thanks to this, such tranquility was broken to pieces. 

It’s really… What a miserable white moonlight!

Shao Ming has been paying attention to Zhu Tong from the corner of his eye since he returned to his seat.

After being stared at silently for quite a while, he finally couldn’t bear it any longer. He turned his head and wanted to ask the shorter teenager what he wanted to say while watching him across the aisle, but he met a pair of eyes full of sympathy.

Shao Ming: “…”

‘Who is he sympathizing with?’

Shao Ming couldn’t help chuckling.

This person, who was just slandered, beaten until coughing blood, and sent to the hospital… Where did he get the energy to sympathize with others?

He looked at Zhu Tong with his head supported by his hand. He was about to say something, but suddenly he  realized that the distance between them was a bit far.

One aisle plus one seat.

If he whispered, Zhu Tong wouldn’t be able to hear him. But if his volume wasn’t lowered, everyone around them could hear him. 

He paused for a while, and still didn’t speak.

‘It would be much more convenient if Zhu Tong’s seat was still next to me,’Shao Ming thought.

Suddenly realizing what he was thinking, Shao Ming was startled.

It was obviously because of him that Zhu Tong moved the seat away.

It was also that he didn’t want to have a deskmate.

‘Do I… regret it now?’

He suddenly laughed in the sheer irony. Even he himself didn’t know why he suddenly laughed.

But Zhu Tong was shaken by his smile, and suddenly came back to his senses, blinking his eyes back.

But the previous scene has been captured, frozen in time.

Someone took a photo and sent it to a small group that some girls privately formed.

[Looking at each other, the two of them definitely have ~something~!!]

[I just said that what happened before was “they” were competing for power and jealousy, right? But obviously, our new classmate won!]

[But why hasn’t Zhu Tong’s seat been moved back? What kind of weird play is flirting across an aisle?]

[Study God, you’re staring at Zhu Tong with your head supported by your arm like that? Others’ desks can’t run back with long legs!]

[I really want to push the table back for them…]

Zhu Tong vaguely heard a sudden commotion in the classroom.

He raised his eyes subconsciously and looked around.

He didn’t see the commotion, but he detected a few peeping eyes. He didn’t understand the meaning behind his classmates’ glinting eyes. 

“?”

Before he could react, those people quickly looked away again.

Soon Shi Wenshu also walked into the classroom.

Zhu Tong quickly took out the textbook and concentrated on the class.

Shao Ming kept staring at him from time to time, and seeing his serious face, he thought with interest, ‘He really loves to study.’

The mock exam was coming soon. But because it was not an important exam, except for the homeroom teacher, all of the other teachers didn’t take it too seriously. After all, the school year just started; there’s no way so many students still fully retain their knowledge of the previous semester. That’s why during their class time, they didn’t give the students extra reviews. 

But for a certain young master, this only made the situation harder for him. He could only review on his own, without any extra guidance. 

He memorized chemical equations all night, and as a result, he was a little sleepy in English class the next morning.

The English teacher was a young female teacher who had just started teaching. She always liked to walk around the aisles on both sides when she was giving lectures. Now she just walked to Zhu Tong’s seat.

She watched Zhu Tong propping his head on the desk with both hands and fishing bit by bit, and suddenly tapped her finger on the corner of his desk.

Zhu Tong was awakened by a light knocking sound.

He looked up at the “shadow” beside him.

His eyes were sleepy, his expression was lazy, and the corners of his eyes were still a little wet from the yawning in the morning. He looked blankly and innocently at the person who disturbed his sleep.

Like an ignorant little beast.

The young English teacher was caught off guard by his cute look. She even felt a little guilty about waking him up.

She couldn’t help smiling. But she still maintained a teacher’s demeanor, saying, “Student, read the first paragraph of the text.”

Zhu Tong just woke up, and his eyes were still bleary. His reaction was slow, but he still managed to pick up his textbook and looked at it, mumbling, “Oh, good.” 

This look made many people around laugh.

Shao Ming couldn’t help but bend his lips into a smile. Just as he was about to help him out, Zhu Tong had already spoken.

Standard pronunciation and fluent reading.

He read a very long paragraph in one breath without any lag, and his lazy voice was very clear in the quiet classroom.

After Zhu Tong fluently read out such a long passage, the students were amazed. 

Could it be that Zhu Tong was another genius-in-hiding? 

The reason he asked to be at the same table with Shao Ming at the beginning of school was really for studying?

The English teacher was also surprised. She smiled and said, “It’s a good read, although we didn’t study this article today.”

Zhu Tong: “…”

“Pfft.”

 “Haha.”

 Her exclamation made everyone chuckle in good-nature. 

“It’s okay, sit down,” The English teacher comforted him, and then said to the others, “It’s really easy to get sleepy in the morning, so freshen up.” 

She then walked to the podium as she talked. 

It was the first time that Zhu Tong included the word embarrassment in his life dictionary. He was nervous about whether his dozing off would affect the white moonlight’s favorability of him, so he subconsciously looked to the side.

Shao Ming was also looking at him, and when he saw him looking over, he smiled and said, “Your reading is very good.”

Zhu Tong: “…”

Fuck.

Can he scrub this from his memory now? 

A few days later, the school held the mock exams.

For the first test, it was Mathematics. 

After several days of unremitting efforts, Zhu Tong felt that he had made some achievements in his studies.

For the sake of his tasks, he must prove his worth with his stellar grades! 

He picked up the pen very confidently, filled in his name and class, and started to read the first question.

Then, the pen stopped.

“…” 

The author has something to say:

Guess how much Tongtong can score?
