Chapter 225: The Sandwich Man
In the end, Shushan Hall belongs to Jiuyou Academy, and the most students here are Jiuyou Academy.
Even if the students of Nine Elements did not wait to see Nicholas again, they would never allow two Alpha Academy students to poke him in the chest in public. This is a faux pas to the entire Nine Beings.
Therefore, before Zheng Qing could decide whether to get up and go downstairs, several senior students in red robes rushed out of the Shushan Pavilion, separating the two sides of the conflict.
The situation was quickly brought under control, and both parties, including Nicholas, left.
After being rescued, Nicholas did not enter the Book Hill Pavilion with the rest of his classmates. In the end, he just glanced up at the mountain of books not far away, and then quietly left with the textbook in his arms.
Judging by the direction he left, he should have gone back to the dormitory.
Zheng Qing noticed that Liu Feifei did not appear by his side, and he didn't know if he was in the cafeteria or was called by the student union to do things. As the first year student of Jiuyou Academy, in addition to studying, she also took on many tasks in the student union.
"He should be like me, and keep a low profile at school for a while. The young student whispered.
"Are you very low-key? Isn't he low-key enough? Now in this situation, is it a problem that can be solved by pretending to be deaf and dumb?" Xiao Xiao asked three rhetorical questions in a row, making Zheng Qing completely give up struggling.
"Do your homework, do your homework," he said, holding up the quill in his hand and urging him repeatedly, "Your line drawing has been going on for almost an hour...... We're going to D&K to check the ledger in the evening. ”
The so-called checking of the ledger is naturally a pretext.
In the final analysis, it was because Zheng Qing couldn't answer Xiao Xiao's three consecutive questions. Nicholas is indeed low-key enough, so low-key that even the classmates rarely pay attention to his traces, and at the moment, it seems that there is no more good way to solve Nicholas's troubles than to use the power of time to slowly wear them away.
Xiao Xiao naturally knew this, and did not entangle and discuss with Zheng Qing on this topic. The two silently restarted their homework and pre-study homework.
It wasn't until he returned to the 403 dormitory in the evening that Zheng Qing mentioned to Xin Fatzi about the accident he had seen in the library before.
"I knew he was going to have new problems. Fat Xin sighed heavily, pulled out a newly printed school newspaper, and stuffed it under Zheng Qing's nose: "A little earlier, we also discussed this topic in the editorial department......
Zheng Qing didn't listen carefully to the fat man's rambling about their editorial department.
His attention was all focused on the newspaper. Or rather, on the tofu block statement that Xin Fat Man showed him.
It was a short statement with only a hundred crosses, with black accentuated and no accompanying pictures, and it looked neat and unremarkable. But the statement of the author and the content made Zheng Qing feel like he had a sudden realization.
The author of this tofu block statement is none other than Nicholas Green Oswall. The content is that he claimed that his previous statement in the Beta Town Post was only 'on the premise of abiding by the public order and good customs of the Nine Existence Academy, and within the scope permitted by the Nine Existence Academy, supporting the Fish-Man tribe to reasonably express relevant demands, not without a bottom line', and 'he also did not approve of the Fish-Man using near-riot means to pressure the Academy to negotiate', in addition, he also said that the Beta Town Post took his words out of context.
After reading this statement, Zheng Qing finally knew why two people from Alpha Academy dared to go to the front of the Xuefu Shushan Pavilion to find trouble with Nicholas in the afternoon.
In Xiao Xiao's words, Nicholas fought the wrong way at the wrong time.
"If he had made this statement when the Betatown Post had just come out, then given the Post's reputation in Nine Colleges, it is very likely that he would not have been ostracized by his classmates and would not have the bad reputation of 'wild birds' on his back, and the 'big guys' among the students of Alpha College would not have spoken out to support him. He wouldn't be in trouble now, either. ”
Xin Fatzi conveyed the opinions of the editorial department to his roommates while masturbating Tuan Tuan: "And now...... He put himself and Alpha Academy on the fire with this statement, but the public opinion on the side of Jiuyou Academy did not necessarily buy it. ”
"Nine people will think that Nicholas is duplicitous, and Alpha people will think that Nicholas is too weak, or that he is not trustworthy...... In short, he has now turned into a sandwich biscuit. ”
"He was sandwiched before, and it was still double-layered. Dylan leaned on the edge of the coffin and told a boring joke.
He was referring to Nicholas's previous two transfers. Because the roster is based on both the method of admission and the roster, few students at First University choose to transfer to another college. It is even rarer to change colleges twice. According to Zheng Qing's understanding, there does not seem to be a second such example in the last hundred years.
Nicholas's uncertain position is often joked about.
"At the very least, we can confirm that the roster of First University has not lost its magic. Xiao Xiao also had a rare sense of humor: "When facing Nicholas, it is not difficult to understand that Mr. Roster is indecisive...... Because Nicholas not only yearns for the justice of Alpha Academy, but also has the fighting spirit of Star Academy, and likes to face the world equally and fairly. ”
"Weak justice, weak resistance, ambiguous justice. "If First University had a college with the trait of 'indecision', Nicholas would definitely be a good fit for it. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Qing finally almost interjected.
"I remember Mr. Thomas saying that the school was considering opening a new college. He recalls a conversation he had with Thomas when he first met, adding: "It's said that it's because there are more and more students now. ”
The scene fell cold for a moment.
Everyone fell silent because they didn't know what to do.
"Oh, by the way, D&K's turnover has risen by more than 40 percent last week, mainly because the price of the batch of herbs that were urgently stockpiled a few days ago has increased. Xiao Xiao coughed and reported good news to the other two companions in the dormitory. This is the result of him and Zheng Qing going to the store to take accounts in the evening.
"I made the suggestion to stock up!" Fat Xin's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he shouted. Because the soles of his hands were not light or heavy for a while, he pinched the fat cat who was enjoying the massage. Tuan Tuan did not hesitate to remind his servant with his fangs.
"I'll tell you about this next time the Sin Hunters meet. Zheng Qing nodded with a smile, calculating how much bonus he would give to the fat man.
It seemed that for a moment, everyone forgot about Nicholas's predicament.
Or, the topic is so heavy that even if it's just a discussion, it gives people the feeling of being stuck in a quagmire and people are afraid to avoid it.
