silent me, silent us

Like a superstar at a concert, Xu Qizhang on the screen looks dazzling under the spotlight, sweat scattered around like cool water drops on a martini glass, with a hidden smile at the corner of his mouth, his feet bent in the air, Subtle moments.

Because it was taken under the stage, the elevation angle of the photo puts him in the center, as if the whole world revolves around him, extending out to the surrounding orchestra and the roaring audience.

It was a very successful photo. If the faces of the teachers weren't so stinky, Ye Guang would have thought it was a meeting of a production group discussing newly debuted artists.

"Student Xu, we hope you can give an explanation for this photo." The principal's voice was gentle but full of majesty, holding a printed photo in his hand.

Looking at this photo, Xu Qizhang looked up at the principal on the other side, remained silent, looking very calm, but Ye Guang was dripping with cold sweat.

how come?Who did it?It is impossible for students in their school to go to this kind of place...except for him.

Ye Guang looked at this familiar scene in horror. The shooting angle was almost exactly the same as where he was standing yesterday, as if he had taken it himself, but the photos he took were indeed stored in the phone, how could they leak out?

He lowered his head and squeezed the paper with the photo on it, suddenly he didn't dare to look at Xu Qizhang.

Do you want to explain something?Will Xu Qizhang think he did it?Ye Guang's heart turned a thousand times.

What is that feeling that is not guilty but also fearful?

It wasn't his doing, but he was afraid to see a gleam of doubt in his eyes.

I must not be able to bear it... He couldn't imagine seeing any negative emotions towards him in Xu Qizhang's eyes. Just thinking about it made his heart tighten, as if he was in a dark underwater, and it was difficult to breathe.

"Xu Qizhang, you should know the rules of our school! You are not allowed to work off-campus! We have already contacted the owner of that nightclub and confirmed that you will perform there for a fee every week! The most serious thing is that he still I didn't know you were underage!" The anger in the words rose steadily, and at this point Oda slapped the table in outrage, even the principal was startled and stabilized the tea in front of him. "You are not only violating school rules, but also have legal problems! If word spreads, will our school still have a reputation?"

Oda looked angry, as if a soldier on the front line of defending his country was insulted by someone.

Such a middle-aged obese male teacher, who has been teaching for many years, is just so angry because a student who violated the school rules and may endanger the school's reputation was born in the high school he taught?Is this high school the country you defend?Are we enemies?Or are you courting your king?Are you willing to yell and curse in order to protect the reputation of the school, but you are not willing to understand why students do this?Why do you have to do this?Is this the case for teachers?

Is that so, my lord?

Ye Guang was stunned, looking at the exaggerated Oda, he suddenly had the illusion that he was also a video caller.

Turning into a picture frame, LAG's ridiculously playing the reality of the other side, which made him suddenly have the urge to smash the video with something.

It was an adverse air pressure welling up from the bottom of his heart, forcing him to clenched his fists.

Xiaotian took a sip of water to catch his breath, looked up and saw Xu Qizhang still had a calm face, without any expression of guilt, as if he didn't realize that there was something wrong with him, this kind of student always made Xiaotian angry, and his words became more sharp .

Humans are creatures that want to defeat others with words at such times.

"Like you! A student like you! Not to mention the election of the student council president! You don't even deserve to be a student in our school! I really don't understand how such an outstanding student in our class, Ye Guang, can get mixed up with you!"

Hearing these words, Xu Qizhang finally moved, as if exuding a terrifying aura from his whole body, he stood up with a bang——

"Who do I like to hang out with and do you P, what is it!"

The voice that was always polite, well-behaved, and gentle, now growled like a beast that had broken through the gate, full of anger, and yelled "disrespectful" at Oda.

Xu Qizhang turned to look at Ye Guang who also stood up in astonishment. Obviously, the other party's arrogance was much more arrogant than him, as if he was being scolded.

Obviously not doing his business... Xu Qizhang laughed from the bottom of his heart.

Unexpectedly, the well-behaved students, academy elites, and campus idols that I usually love the most suddenly turned into rebellious rebels. Oda was hit hard, and his blue lips trembled. He was used to complimenting him, but now he didn’t know how to scold him. What, if you can't get through it all at once, you still point the finger at Xu Qizhang again.

"This... this is Near Vermilion Zhechi!"

"Hmph, you made a mistake! It should be Jinmo—"

"Stop, all right, all sit down."

The headmaster's voice came out through the desktop microphone in the conference room, making the two people who were tense with swords pause for a moment.Xiaotian and Ye Guang made it clear that they didn't say anything, but they sat down resentfully. Xu Qizhang was as usual, with gentle movements. When he sat down, he patted Ye Guang's back, but Ye Guang still stared at the wooden conference table. Smooth surface, no movement of the head.

There was a brief silence in the temporarily turned off meeting room.

The principal took a sip of tea and called Xu Qizhang.

"Qizhang, do you have anything to say?" The principal didn't express any opinion, but asked Xu Qizhang repeatedly.

Xu Qizhang withdrew his gaze from Ye Guang, looked at the principal, pondered for a moment, and nodded.

"I did perform in that PUB, and there was also a fee."

Although the person in the photo is obviously Xu Qizhang, every teacher seems to be waiting for his own defense.Such a direct acknowledgment left the teachers present speechless.

There was no emotion in the principal's eyes, and he asked straightforwardly: "Then do you know that our school does not allow students to work?" The deep voice could not tell whether it was a real question or an accusation.

"knowledge."

After hearing Xu Qizhang's answer, Oda showed a disdainful expression of "knowingly committing a crime", which made Ye Guang feel angry again.

"But the principal, it's because of his family..." Ye Guang was eager to defend Xu Qizhang, but suddenly his left hand was pulled, and Xu Qizhang stopped him from speaking.

"Ye Guang, I know how Qizhang's family is, but this is not the same as violating school rules. The school has scholarships. Why don't you apply for a job instead? If you need help, the school has channels." The principal responded gently to Ye Wide was interrupted words.

"Principal, I remember that scholarships are usually applied for at the beginning of the semester and awarded at the end of the semester." Gently, Xu Qizhang asked an insignificant question, making everyone suddenly confused about the situation.

"Usually, some normal procedures are required for approval." The standard answer, the staff of public agencies like to use this tone to express their professionalism.

"Have you ever heard the principal, 'Far water can't save a near fire'?" Xu Qizhang looked up into the principal's eyes without moving away.

His speech provoked Xiaotian to slap the table and curse: "What kind of attitude is that!", but the principal raised his hand to stop him because Xu Qizhang hadn't finished speaking.

"I didn't violate the school rules just to violate them." After a pause, Xu Qizhang continued: "As you said, you know my family's situation. There must be considerations from the school for not allowing students to work part-time. However, the principal can adjust my past grades to see. I remember that my grades have always been within the top ten of the school. So in terms of school rules, I fouled, but back to the essence, I was not wrong.”

What Xu Qizhang said made the teachers present stunned and whispered to each other, but Xiao Tian, ​​who was opposite him, didn't buy it.

"Okay, let's not talk about the school rules! You know the Children and Youth Welfare Law? You dare to stay in bad places late at night when you are underage! This is no longer something the school can handle. If the school doesn't want things to become big, they will put you Sent to the police station! It’s not easy to do a part-time job, but I want to go to that kind of place!”

What can you do with the police station?Go to jail for that?Ye Guang really didn't know what age it was, and some people used the police to scare children.

The position of students and teachers is such a delicate relationship, as long as the balance is broken, lovers will become enemies overnight.Ye Guang only thinks that Oda looks disgusting now, and he hates everything he says.

Xu Qizhang shrugged, as if he had nothing to say, he stared at Xiaotian's victory expression, and then slowly continued:

"Although part-time work is not allowed now, I just want to do what I want to do."

His eyes swept over every teacher present.

I just want to do what I want to do.

Whether it is a kid or after becoming an adult, it takes courage to say this sentence against the environment.

It doesn't matter if you are stupid or ignorant.That is a kind of responsibility, responsible for your own persistence.

He is responsible to himself.

Ye Guang clenched his hands tightly, and every teacher seemed to be shocked by Xu Qizhang's fearless attitude, while Xiao Tian was holding his breath in his chest and almost couldn't breathe.

No matter how many times, how many times, the person next to him will always bring him a dazzling light.

That was the nth time Ye Guang praised Xu Qizhang in his heart.
