Chapter 21: Fortune telling is much easier than answering exams (Part 1)

“Am I a banshee?” Lin Qingyin slightly frowned and found the meaning of this word from the memory of the original owner. This meant that she was a messenger of death.

Lin Qingyin lightly chuckled and looked around the classroom: “Since that’s what you think, I’ll let you see what a real messenger of death is.”

They were used to abusing Lin Qingyin. So they were quite surprised to see Lin Qingyin with a sharp tongue. And after witnessing Li Mingyu not only covered in dirty water but also broke his forehead. They no longer have the intention to tease Lin Qingyin anymore. They all turn around in dull mode.

The class adviser, Teacher Yu Chengze came to the classroom with a stack of lists. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the water all over the floor, and Li Mingyu and Shu Junyi were all wet. He then looked at students with worry: “What happened here?”

Li Mingyu was helped by the classmates near him. Both his head and lower parts were hurting. He didn’t know whether to cover his forehead or cover his crotch. His face flushed with anger and shame. He stretched out his finger towards Lin Qingyin, and was about to yell at her, but… …

What should he say?

He put a basin of water on the door so that once Lin Qingyin enters the water will pour on her. However, Lin Qingyin didn’t come inside until the basin buckled his head; Then, he tried to grab Lin Qingyin’s hair, but his feet slipped which made him split; In the end, the glass fell on him after pulling the table. Lin Qingyin never touched him from the beginning to the end.

Li Mingyu was embarrassed to put this pot on Lin Qingyin’s head. He will only become a laughing stock if this issue comes to light.

Seeing Li Mingyu’s face turned red and white, Yu Chengze couldn’t ask any more questions. Anyway, there were not many students in this class that he has to worry about.

After waving his hand, Yu Chengze asked two boys to accompany Li Mingyu to the infirmary, while Shu Junyi went home directly. Anyway, today the students only need to handover their homework, collect their books, clean up the room, receive the exam notice for tomorrow and nothing else.

Lin Qingyin went to her table while they were making noise. She took out a handkerchief from her bag and wiped her table indiscriminately. But in fact, she put an array that can remove dirt to clean her area while no one was paying attention.

As usual, homework was handed in on the day of registration. To improve the quality of teaching, the principal of Dongfang International High School requires all the students to complete their homework. Otherwise, they are not allowed to register. Therefore, even students who don’t like to study has no choice but to do their homework under the pressure of their parents. And those who didn’t do any of their homework will be discovered.

Lin Qingyin couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief after handing in the homework she had brought. The summer homework for high school students was terrible!

Yu Chengze asked a few boys to help move their homework back to the office and ordered a few students to move the new books. Seeing that this matter has nothing to do with her, Lin Qingyin took out the political book from her schoolbag and quickly read it. The exam will be tomorrow. She hasn’t finished reviewing yet.

Standing on the podium, Yu Chengze looked at Lin Qingyin, who was sitting in the third row reading silently, then sighed guiltily. He still remembered Lin Qingyin’s proud and confident appearance when she first entered the school last year. However, after a year, she became a silent little girl and her grades plummeted.

In fact, Yu Chengze also knew about the students in the class bullying Lin Qingyin before. He stopped them every time he will saw it. He even put it forward in the meeting. Afterwards, the bullying stopped, but only on the surface. The students still continue in private hours. Lin Qingyin spends every day in fright and can’t concentrate on studying. As a result, she only ranked 35 in the final exam.

Yu Chengze was so shocked and felt regret after learning that Lin Qingyin jumped into the river. He regretted that he didn’t pay attention to the psychological needs of students. He regretted that he didn’t take the malicious bullying among students seriously. And he regretted that a good seedling had been ruined because of his carelessness.

The school was also very concerned about Lin Qingyin’s jumping into the river. They spent 100,000 yuan as scholarships and tuition-free incentives to recruit Lin Qingyin. As a result, after one year, Lin Qingyin’s grades have regressed, and committed suicide by jumping into the river. If this matter spread outside, who would still dare to send their children to Dongfang International High School? Their goal to gather all the elite students in the school will also be more difficult to implement.

The principle almost became bald in anxiousness.

Fortunately, Lin Qingyin’s parents did not intend to disclose their daughter’s jumping into the river. They only request their daughter to be put in a different class. The school also plans to take the opportunity to re-divide the students and put all together those students who excel. Maybe they can cultivate one or two more good seedlings.

Of course, the division of classes according to grades cannot be declared. Dongfang International High School was not a public school after all. Those who come here are all rich sons and daughters.

Although Lin Qingyin didn’t know the plan of the school, she instinctively told herself that the exam was very important. So apart from her cultivating, she reviewed most of the time. She didn’t even go to the best hotel to have dinner with the Li Family. She made a big sacrifice.

  1. It’s actually good that the Lin parents have no intention to disclose the ori-LQY’s suicide to protect her reputation. I believe there’s still goodness in humanity. But, realistically speaking, there’s also malice. Especially when it’s involving conflict of interest. There’s no guarantee that the waggling tongues wouldn’t add some salt and seasoning to the story for their own benefits, regardless how it’d implicate LQY and her family.

    Another example is the school’s stand on her case. They can feel sorry and guilty, thinking of someway to compensate LQY, and doing their best to rearrange their system to prevent the bullying now only because the school reputation is not threatened. But, when it’s, some selfish staffs would think to turn the table and put all the blame on LQY. After all, it’s a fact that they have given financial benefits (scholarship and money) in “trade” for a top student, but the student didn’t fulfill her side of “contract”. Most of the scholarship would simply stop because of it. Given the smear of reputation, LQY’s classmates might happily made up stories to slander her, save their school’s reputation, and might even sue her.

    Unless LQY and her family understand the laws related to her case and handle all of the loopholes in the law which can be exploited by the school and the parents of her classmates, it will be really hard for her family to win her case.

  2. Why am I not surprise that after all this what the school care more about is it’s reputation then the bullying/school violence that’s going on. I’m glad the teacher at least felt guilt for not doing enough for the previous owner.
