Chapter 58 Leniency for confession
In an instant, the morning noise and commotion in the classroom subsided, and all eyes searched for him, eventually settling on Lu Zhizhou.

A mysterious figure who had disappeared for more than two months, at the center of a storm of rumors and gossip, made a dazzling appearance on the day of the exam.

The impetuous young men and women could not hide their curiosity and curiosity, and a restless scrutiny filled the quiet air.

In the crowd, Wang Lin's arrogant and provocative gaze could be clearly seen. With his nostrils pointing to the sky, he stared intently at Lu Zhizhou like the Bull Demon King.

Bathed in the burning gazes, Lu Zhizhou, still half-asleep with his eyes barely open, raised his right hand and waved, "Hello everyone, I missed you all so much."

boom!
In an instant, everyone burst into laughter. Some people complained, some cheered, and some rolled their eyes. The classroom was like boiling water, churning violently.

One by one, people eagerly crowded around Lu Zhizhou, asking him what had happened. They couldn't wait to throw out all sorts of outrageous rumors to the person in charge for verification. The area around Lu Zhizhou and Song Bo's seats became crowded with people. Wang Lin could hardly believe what he was seeing.

Wang Lin also ran to the side, squeezed into the crowd, and said with a barbed tone, "Lu Zhizhou, is it true that you were arrested and imprisoned for two months?"

Song Bo glared at Wang Lin speechlessly. "Rumor has it that you have a negative IQ. How do you respond to that?"

Wang Lin was burning with rage and was preparing to fight Song Bo to the death when Lu Zhizhou's lazy voice came from the side, "Yeah. Really."

For a moment, there was complete silence.

Song Bo turned to look at Lu Zhizhou in a daze, unable to believe his ears. But immediately, he caught a glint in Lu Zhizhou's eyes, understood, and obediently shut his mouth.

Wang Lin couldn't contain his excitement, exclaiming, "Ha! You really went in! I knew it! I told you so!"

Despite Wang Lin's rambling, his gaze was entirely focused on Lu Zhizhou.

Lu Zhizhou still looked like he hadn't woken up yet. "Actually, I secretly went to Rome. I was just going there to have fun, but I accidentally found a body at the Pantheon. The local police asked me to cooperate with the investigation because I was the first person to find the body at the scene, and then they detained me as a suspect."

"Those few days were truly unbearable to recall."

"In order to get out of prison, I had to prove my innocence."

“I remembered seeing some symbols next to the body, which must have been clues left by the deceased. So I started to study and analyze the symbols, and finally found that all the clues from those symbols pointed to Botticelli’s paintings. We had to see those original paintings in person to find the clues.”

"I convinced them, and then we went together to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence..."

The story is full of ups and downs, and takes unexpected turns.

It must be said that Lu Zhizhou is a master storyteller; his melodious and rhythmic delivery is completely captivating and firmly holds everyone's attention.

Before they even realized it, the students in the classroom held their breath and listened intently, while the noise from the next classroom became the perfect background noise.

Finally, someone noticed something was wrong, "Wait... isn't this the plot of 'The Da Vinci Code'?"

The students, engrossed in their studies, were interrupted. One or two were about to complain and protest, but the next second they snapped back to reality and froze in shock—

what?
Wang Lin was the first to react, his eyes widening. "Yes, yes, yes, this is 'The Da Vinci Code'! I knew it! Why does this story sound so familiar?"

"Hey, if you're going to make up a story, at least make it believable. Why don't you just say you're Harry Potter?"

Lu Zhizhou, who had been exposed, showed no embarrassment whatsoever, and a smile still lingered on his lips. "Because I was worried that you would take it seriously and actually go to the South Station to look for Platform 9¾."

"By the way, Wang Lin, actually J.K. Rowling wrote it randomly. The real platform is seven and a quarter, that's the correct entrance."

With a serious expression, Lu Zhizhou stared intently at Wang Lin, his bright eyes fixed on him as if he were discussing the most important matter in the world. Wang Lin was taken aback.

However, Song Bo couldn't hold back in the end. "Pfft," a laugh escaped from the corner of his mouth, completely ruining his composure. He then burst into laughter, tears welling up in his eyes.

The others around finally came to their senses and burst into laughter.

Wang Lin stared blankly at Lu Zhizhou, stammering for a long time without being able to say anything coherent.

Lu Zhizhou raised his chin in a gesture, "The old teacher is here."

The next second, the homeroom teacher's voice entered the classroom, "Sit down. Everyone sit down. What are you all doing? Don't you need to review before the exam? It seems you're all well-prepared and full of confidence, huh? Since you're all ready, let's start the exam right away."

The entire classroom was filled with wails.

Song Bo lowered his head, his shoulders still trembling, and secretly gave Lu Zhizhou a high-five under the desk, his eyes full of smiles.

Originally, Song Bo was thinking about how to convince his classmates, figuring that even if Lu Zhizhou told the truth, no one would believe him; but he never expected things to develop this way—

As expected, Lu Zhizhou is Lu Zhizhou, he doesn't follow the usual path.

After that, although the scrutinizing and probing gazes continued, no one came to ask Lu Zhizhou any more questions, fearing that they might be fooled and embarrass themselves like Wang Lin; in addition, it was during the exam period, and the children's attention quickly shifted to the exam papers.

No sooner had the exams begun than they seemed to have ended, and before I knew it, they were all over.

"...For the last multiple-choice question, should I choose C or D?"

"The last big question was too ridiculous! I glanced at it and just gave up. I'd rather spend that time checking the questions I was confident about earlier."

"How was I supposed to know? That senile old man kept saying every single question would be on the test, there were so many that he couldn't even count them all. Who knew this time his 'must-know' questions actually came out? I didn't even look at them. Oh no, oh no... What am I going to do at the parent-teacher conference? Will that senile old man tell my parents? It's not my fault, really!"

Bustling and chattering.

The exam was finally over, but the students didn't disperse immediately. They were still discussing it in the classroom, in the hallway, and on their way to the restroom.

At this time of year, Lu Zhizhou was always surrounded by a group of good students. They would compare answers with each other, and Lu Zhizhou's grades were always consistently in the top three or five of his class, and he was a regular in the top ten of the entire grade. Especially in English reading comprehension, the good students often used Lu Zhizhou as their benchmark.

However, today, very unusually, Lu Zhizhou is completely idle, and his house is deserted.

At the pace of learning in the second year of high school, missing one or three days of classes could lead to falling completely behind, and Lu Zhizhou missed more than two months. That's how cruel reality is.

Not only did they not compare answers with Lu Zhizhou, but many pitying and sympathetic glances were also cast their way, as if they could foresee a precipitous drop in Lu Zhizhou's ranking.

Song Bo was also worried. He knew about Lu Zhizhou's family situation and had been very confident in Lu Zhizhou, but seeing the situation before him, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Song Bo stole a glance at Lu Zhizhou, only to be caught red-handed by Lu Zhizhou. He couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly twice, "So, how does it feel?"

Lu Zhizhou shrugged slightly, his face serious. "I'm a little scared."

Song Bo was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing the next second, and Lu Zhizhou also started laughing. The two of them laughed like lunatics.
