Chapter 42: Yu Huang: Become the top scholar and bring glory to the school.
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Since Anna Tao had already left, there was no need for Yu Huang to stay for class. She carried her bag and went to the teacher’s office. She found Li Shi and took out the prepared leave application.
Li Shi took the application handed over by Yu Huang. He thought that Yu Huang had been affected by the online criticism and felt mentally burdened, so she wanted to take a break from school to avoid it.
The sensation caused by Yu Huang in the Purifying Spirit Academy that day had already spread online. Now, the entire country knew that Yu Huang was trash that only had a beastly nature and had yet to awaken her beast form.
Yu Huang had her face disfigured and her engagement broken off. She had also suffered a blow from her failure to awaken her beast form. Her fans felt heartache, but there were also many people who clapped their hands in joy while cursing that it serves her right and for her to never be able to raise her head again.
Li Shi attentively browsed through the comments made by those online keyboard warriors regarding Yu Huang. Even he felt angry, let alone Yu Huang herself.
He put down the application and frowned as he said to Yu Huang, “I’ve seen the comments online.”
Li Shi tried his best to lower his voice and advised Yu Huang in a gentle tone, “Yu Huang, you’ve been in the entertainment industry for more than a decade. You’ve encountered all kinds of trouble. You should understand that those keyboard warriors with loose lips are mostly trash in real life. You don’t have to care about them.”
“If you take them seriously, you’ll lose.”
Li Shi was not a gentle person. It was actually quite difficult for him to reason with Yu Huang.
When Yu Huang heard Li Shi’s advice, she actually felt her heart warm. She told Li Shi, “I didn’t take leave because of the criticism online.”
“Then…”
Yu Huang blinked her eyes and said innocently, “It’s like this. You know that I missed too many lessons, and my grades are not ideal. I want to take leave and go to the special training camp in the capital for a year to strive to become the top scorer next year and bring glory to our school!”
Li Shi :”…”
Lina, the homeroom teacher of Class 8, who had overheard their conversation, couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of water.
Her?
Yu Huang?
Top scorer?
Who the hell was she kidding?
As Ms. Lina wiped the water on the table with a tissue, she said to Li Shi, “Ms. Li, the students in your class are quite boastful.”
With that, she raised her head and stared at Yu Huang. She deliberately raised the trash paper towel in her hand and threw it into the trash can. She said meaningfully, “You still have to throw the trash into the trash can.”
Upon hearing this, Li Shi slammed his fist on the partition between his and Ms. Lina’s desks and roared at the teacher, “If you continue to be so cocky, I’ll throw you into the trash can!”
He could not help it!
Li Shi never played gentlemen. He only respected people who were worthy of his respect. Li Shi would not treat such gossipy women like them nicely.
Lina shivered in fear and turned pale.
Yu Huang smiled and cast a cold gaze at Lina.
Ms. Lina’s legs were trembling from fright. She quickly grabbed her phone and bag and ran out of the office.
After Lina left, Li Shi put away his fierce expression and rubbed the flesh on his face while trying his best to give Yu Huang a loving smile.
“Yu Huang, it’s good that you have this idea. I’m very relieved.”
Changing the topic, Li Shi said earnestly, “But Yu Huang, you have to act within your means in everything. You don’t have to bear the heavy burden of becoming the top scholar. Go to the special training camp and study hard for a year. When you come back, take the exam properly and get into a major university in the country. I will be very relieved!”
Not only did Lina not believe that Yu Huang wanted to become the top scholar and bring glory to the school, but even Li Shi would not believe it.
Yu Huang’s grades were really too mediocre. Even if she tried her best from today onwards, she might not be able to catch up to those top students who were both talented and willing to work hard.
Yu Huang seemed to have taken his words to heart and obediently replied, “Alright, I understand.”
