Chapter 5 Imperial College

“No problem, I’ve already figured it out. Besides, I can’t let this matter delay the City Exam. I’ll go back and rest first.”

Su Ming replied calmly, then got up and walked towards the room. He needed to get some good rest, and then sort out the upcoming matters.

Su Yuan and Zhao Ning watched Su Ming’s retreating figure as he went upstairs. They exchanged glances, both with worried expressions.

The next day.

Thirteenth District, Mient Intermediate Academy’s main gate.

On the wide, flat concrete open space, a black hovering car drove up and stopped.

Inside the car, Su Ming looked through the window, gazing at the solemn gate built with blue stone, and let out a slight breath.

“Son, we’re here.”

Su Yuan turned his head, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

“Alright, Father.”

Su Ming opened the car door, stepped out, and walked towards the school.

However, before Su Ming had walked a few steps, he stopped and turned around. He saw the short Su Yuan rubbing his hands, following cautiously with a smiling face.

“Father, is there anything else?”

Su Ming looked at Su Yuan, asking in confusion.

“Son, are you sure you’re alright? Do you not need me to walk you in? You used to always ask me to walk you in.”

Su Yuan said with a chuckle.

Su Ming’s face twitched slightly when he heard Su Yuan’s words.

Damn it! This little fatty is not just a shut-in, but also a mama’s boy who needs to be walked in.

He rubbed his forehead and said to Su Yuan with utter helplessness.

“No need, Father, I can do it myself.”

“Really no need?”

Su Yuan was still very worried, as if his son wasn’t going to school, but to a battlefield.

“Really no need, I can do it myself.”

“Okay, alright, then if anything happens, call me immediately, be sure to call.”

Su Yuan instructed worriedly.

“Okay!”

Su Ming turned and walked towards the school.

Su Yuan did not leave, but stood in place, watching Su Ming walk into the school.

Inside the campus, Su Ming walked towards the teaching building where his class was located, relying on his memory.

Along the way, he surveyed his school.

The entire school covered a very large area, with teaching buildings scattered in an orderly fashion. The ground paths were all paved with flat concrete, and in the distance to the right, there was a huge circular School field.

The school as a whole looked very good; the only pity was that there were no real plants along the way, only artificial ones.

At this moment, some students walking towards the teaching building showed surprised expressions when they saw Su Ming, and began to whisper among themselves.

“Isn’t that Su Ming, who tried to hang himself not long ago?”

“It really is him, he’s back at school so soon.”

“Heh heh, honestly, he doesn’t even look at himself. How dare he pursue Lin Chuyu? Now he’s a joke, isn’t he?”

Su Ming naturally noticed the pointing and whispering of the students around him, but he didn’t care in the slightest, his heart completely calm.

Soon, Su Ming arrived at the classroom door, which was ajar.

However, before he even entered, he heard the students inside the classroom discussing.

“Do you think Su Ming, that fatty, will come back to school?”

“How could he? He’s definitely transferring. Honestly, he should take a good look at himself, with his kind of character.”

Creak~

Su Ming pushed open the ajar classroom door and walked in. The originally noisy classroom, filled with discussions, instantly fell silent.

Everyone turned to look at Su Ming.

“My goodness, this guy actually came to school.”

“Don’t say anything more, lest you provoke him again.”

Many students present stopped their teasing and discussions, but some also sneered with disdain.

“I’ll say what I want, if his mental resilience isn’t good enough, whose fault is that?!”

“Say less.”

Su Ming faced the gazes and whispers of many classmates, his eyes not dodging, and he walked naturally to his seat and sat down.

For a moment, all the students present felt strange in their hearts, always feeling that Su Ming seemed a little different from before. But exactly where he was different, they couldn’t quite put their finger on it.

At this moment, three slender boys, wearing blue and white school uniforms with small tufts of yellow, green, and red hair on their temples, approached Su Ming.

Su Ming looked up at the three of them, his eyes showing no fluctuation. These three were named Cheng Ran, Wang Chi, and Qin Lei, nicknamed Yellow Hair, Green Hair, and Red Hair.

They were all Su Ming’s dormmates, and in Su Ming’s memory, their relationship was decent. Of course, the main reason was that although the original owner of the body was a shut-in, he was quite generous and often shared various snacks with them.

“Brother, you’re amazing! You’re famous in our school now, daring to pursue Lin Chuyu.”

Yellow Hair said excitedly.

“Exactly, truly amazing!”

Green Hair and Red Hair gave Su Ming a thumbs up.

“It’s nothing, let’s not talk about those things.”

Su Ming didn’t want to continue discussing the matter.

Yellow Hair turned to look around, then leaned into Su Ming’s ear and said seriously.

“Brother, I’m going to tell you something. Your public pursuit of Lin Chuyu has angered the local tyrant of Mecha Class 1, Zhang Tai, and the class monitor, Li Fubai. They’ve said they’re going to deal with you, so be careful recently.”

Su Ming sighed slightly when he heard Yellow Hair’s words; it was truly troublesome.

Just then, Tang Yan walked in from the back door. He looked at the three boys surrounding Su Ming, and said sternly.

“Everyone, return to your seats!”

When Yellow Hair and the other two saw Teacher Tang arrive, they quickly returned to their seats, and the previously whispering classroom also quieted down.

Tang Yan walked over to Su Ming and asked with concern.

“Su Ming, are you feeling better?”

“Yes, I’m fine now!”

Su Ming nodded in response.

“That’s good, don’t take those things to heart.”

Tang Yan patted Su Ming’s shoulder with relief.

In fact, Tang Yan genuinely cared about Su Ming, and the reason was simple. Although Su Ming’s grades were average, he had been a very well-behaved student since he enrolled, never causing trouble.

As for that incident, there was actually nothing strange about it. In adolescence, who doesn’t have one or two people they like? It’s just that his psychological resilience was too poor to handle the social death.

Su Ming nodded in response to Tang Yan.

Tang Yan then walked to the podium and said sternly to the entire class.

“Recently, something happened in the class, but it’s all in the past now. Everyone, no more discussions about it. Everyone should focus their energy on the upcoming City Exam. There are only 30 days left until the City Exam. Don’t think I’m nagging, the City Exam is very important, it can almost determine your future destiny! I hope you can give it your all and leave no regrets in your life. If you are fortunate enough to get into the Imperial Court Military Academy, our school will be proud of you, and your name will be carved on the wall of honor!”

“Oh, how could we possibly get in?”

The students in the classroom sighed one after another.

Su Ming’s brows also furrowed when he heard Teacher Tang’s words; he still had memories regarding the Imperial Court Military Academy.
