Upon hearing this, Gao Pengjun was taken aback. After all, his parents were also farmers, but slightly differently, as they owned an apple orchard that had been helping to increase their income in recent years.
Seeing the expression on Gao Pengjun's face, Bing Tianyi sighed and continued, "Alright, let's not talk about what our parents do for now. Let's talk about you. Aren't you still a teacher? You're not a high-ranking official or a celebrity, right?"
"What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?" Gao Pengjun widened his eyes and asked.
"I'm not looking down on you; I'm just stating the facts. Think about what you say to your students in class. You said Mei Fenfeng is the reincarnation of Shen Gongbao, and having such an ugly person sitting in your class is an insult to you. And then there's Maping; his mother passed away early, yet you said in front of the whole class that those who struggle with math are children without mothers to teach them. And..."
Bing Tianyi intended to continue, but at this point, he found himself unable to go on. Angered, he stood up and stared intently at Gao Pengjun.
In a moment of desperation, Gao Pengjun stood up and looked directly at Bing Tianyi, asking bluntly, "What do you want?"
"Nothing. Do you think what you've said is appropriate?" Bing Tianyi replied with a helpless sigh.
"What? So do you think Mei Fenfeng is pretty? Didn't Maping's mother pass away long ago?" Gao Pengjun still showed no signs of regret and sneered at Bing Tianyi.
"Teacher Gao, do you think you're handsome? A short guy at one meter sixty with a figure like Wu Dalang! Your parents may still be alive, but isn't it said that your mother has a chronic illness? If your friends loudly insulted you in front of many people, what would you do?" Bing Tianyi tried to suppress the anger rising within him as he continued questioning.
"Who dares? Who dares to say that? I'll knock their teeth out!" Gao Pengjun stood up angrily, fists clenched as he shouted.
"Exactly! You don't want to hear those words yourself; let alone these young people who are still developing psychologically," Bing Tianyi explained earnestly.
Gao Pengjun paused for a moment, seemingly realizing his mistake. After a while, he turned around and said to Bing Tianyi with his back turned, "Alright, you can leave now."
"Teacher Gao, think carefully. If you want to keep your job, admit your mistakes in time. I hope you'll correct these issues in the future because I would like you to continue being our math teacher." With those words, Bing Tianyi turned and prepared to walk out the door.
As soon as he reached the dormitory entrance, Gao Pengjun, with his back to Bing Tianyi, suddenly spoke up, "Bing Tianyi, wait a moment."
Stopping in his tracks, Bing Tianyi curiously asked, "What else is there?"
"Are you suggesting that I should throw away my face and admit my mistakes to Director Wang?" Gao Pengjun asked directly, his expression mixed with surprise.
"Do you think that's something to be ashamed of?"
"Isn't it?" Bing Tianyi replied with a sincere smile, looking seriously at Gao Pengjun.
Gao Pengjun frowned and sneered, "Bing Tianyi, you're just a kid selling wontons. Why do you have the audacity to openly oppose me? Aren't you afraid that you'll end up failing and getting expelled from school?"
"Of course I'm afraid, but I believe that if I were to be expelled because of my conflict with you, it would indicate a complete distortion of our educational system—a distortion of humanity. Over time, this would harm not just us students but society as a whole."
Gao Pengjun never expected Bing Tianyi to articulate such thoughts; despite his youthful appearance, he seemed remarkably mature inside.
Surprised, he quietly asked, "What did you and Director Wang do that day?"
"You don't need to know about that," Bing Tianyi replied. Without caring whether Gao Pengjun would go to Wang Bing to admit his mistakes, he turned and walked out toward the classroom.
As soon as he entered the classroom, Li Zhen and others erupted in cheers. Despite the physics teacher still being present, the enthusiasm among the classmates showed no signs of waning.
Bing Tianyi waved his hand and softly said, "Classmates, the teacher is still teaching; please be quiet."
The classmates listened to Bing Tianyi's words and gradually quieted down after he finished speaking.
Before long, night fell. After evening self-study ended, Bing Tianyi, as usual, walked back to the dormitory with Pang Yu, Zhao Qiang, and Maping.
In the spacious campus, Bing Tianyi looked up at the moonlight in the sky, reminiscing about his previous experiences at school. Unlike before, he now felt a deeper sense of reflection.
To be honest, during his time at school, he had indeed felt utterly powerless.
In a class of nearly fifty students, the only friend he had was Pang Yu. The other two in his dormitory were Zhao Qiang, who dropped out early in his sophomore year due to the insults from Gao Pengjun, and Maping, who left after the second semester of his first year.
After that, only Pang Yu and two other classmates remained in his dormitory: Li Zhen, Huang Ke's old partner, and Chen Feng.
Having endured three difficult years of high school, Bing Tianyi's most vivid memories seemed to revolve around being insulted.
Over time, Bing Tianyi began to contemplate life, though his thoughts were quite immature at that time. Even when he thought deeply, it was merely like gazing at the moon reflected in water or dreaming of flowers in a dream.
For instance, after one o'clock in the morning when the dormitory supervisor fell asleep, the troublemakers from the first year would start forming groups and fighting, which was unavoidable.
Every time he heard screams from the restroom, Bing Tianyi would close his eyes and imagine himself as the leader among them, leading his classmates to conquer the first years, then moving on to dominate the sophomores and finally the seniors.
Whenever he thought about these exciting scenarios, he would lie awake all night. By the time classes started the next day, he would be half-heartedly paying attention.
After finishing high school, none of those imagined scenarios had come true. Even when he did participate in something, it was just being dragged into the restroom and beaten up.
As he approached the dormitory door, Bing Tianyi cheerfully said, "You guys wait here for a moment; I'm going to the supermarket to buy us some things."
"Brother Bing, do you still have extra spending money?" Maping quickly leaned over to Bing Tianyi and asked.
"What? The week has just started; don't tell me you ran out of money already?" Bing Tianyi replied with a wry smile.
He recalled that Maping often borrowed money from their classmates in the dormitory. However, during his high school days, he had never lent Maping money even once. The reason was simple: he didn't have much money himself.
"There's still a bit left, but not much," Maping said with a downcast expression.
Bing Tianyi, hearing this, smiled and asked, "So, what do you want?"
"Brother Bing, could you get everyone a pack of cigarettes? And how about treating everyone to instant noodles?" Maping quickly replied with a smile.
"Alright, what flavors do you all want?" Bing Tianyi asked with a grin.
"Pickled cabbage."
"Kang Shifu braised beef noodles."
"Then I'll have a pack of old hen soup noodles."
Bing Tianyi nodded and turned to head into the supermarket. Just then, Wang Peng hurried over, looking mysterious as he leaned in close to Bing Tianyi and whispered, "Big Brother, do you know?"
Bing Tianyi chuckled and curiously asked, "Know what?"
"Tonight our First Year Class is going to establish the Lion Head," Wang Peng said in the same mysterious tone.
Bing Tianyi shook his head and laughed, "What does that have to do with me?" With that, he prepared to enter the supermarket.
Wang Peng quickly stepped forward and grabbed Bing Tianyi's arm, directly asking, "Big Brother, don't you want to become a Lion Head?"
"Braised lion head?" Bing Tianyi retorted.
Upon hearing this, Pang Yu and others burst into laughter, saying, "Big Brother, you're really humorous."
Zhao Qiang, hearing this, boldly stepped forward and said, "Big Brother, let's take down those bastards. You can just act as the Lion Head. No need to say anything else; after your actions today, I doubt anyone would dare to oppose you."
"Alright, let's hurry up and buy what we need and get back to the dorm," Bing Tianyi said before quickly heading into the supermarket.
Of course, Bing Tianyi was also aware that in student elections, the most important factor is people. However, he currently only had Pang Yu and fewer than ten supporters by his side. Compared to the more than thirteen hundred students in the First Year, his group was practically a rare find.
If he rashly went ahead with the election and ended up in a fight, wouldn't they just get beaten to a pulp?
Thinking about this, Bing Tianyi could only hold back and wait for further developments.
Upon arriving at the dormitory, Bing Tianyi tossed the cans of beer and instant noodles he had bought under his bed. He knew that Old Huang would check the dorms later that night, and if beer and cigarettes were found during the search, it would really be trouble.
Not to mention, a severe beating would be unavoidable. Of course, if it were a teacher who administered the beating, Bing Tianyi wouldn't be too worried at this moment. However, Old Huang was a different story.
First of all, this guy wasn't part of the educational system; he was just hired by the school to manage the dorms. If a student got beaten up too badly, Old Huang would likely just get fired.
Secondly, this old fellow was quite skilled. It was said that he participated in some war over twenty years ago and returned home after being injured.
Old Huang had no wife because he had a large scar on his face and two fingers shot off. However, there were rumors at school suggesting another story: that Old Huang lost his fingers while trying to poke someone's eyes out during a fight; the opponent struggled too hard, causing Old Huang's fingers to break.
But both stories were just rumors and couldn't be verified. It is worth mentioning that Bing Tianyi witnessed Old Huang beating someone during his first week at school; he estimated that he would never forget that scene for the rest of his life.
