Explanation

Now they had truly come to understand Zhou En's terrifying talent for martial arts.

But they also knew that Zhou En no longer had any chance of becoming an official member.

Because Li Hui had never failed since his debut.

The next day, at the school infirmary.

Since the school was located in the suburbs, the infirmary was relatively well-equipped and staffed.

When they saw Zhou En and Chubby's injuries, they immediately arranged two hospital rooms for them.

"Student Zhou, your injuries aren't very serious. Rest and recuperate properly for the next few months, and remember not to fight with anyone again."

"As for your classmate, his injuries aren't too serious either. He should wake up tomorrow after sleeping through the night."

"I've already reported the situation to the Academic Affairs Office. They will probably come ask you about it tomorrow."

In the infirmary, an old man in a white coat spoke in a businesslike manner.

"Thank you, Doctor." Zhou En clenched his fists and said.

Zhou En decided that he would definitely report this matter to the school. He refused to believe that Li Hui could be so arrogant as to disregard the school's rules.

For that reason, he had even gotten Glasses girl's phone number.

It made Zhou En feel rather pleased with himself.

Had I gotten even more handsome?

Bang, bang, crash.

Just as Zhou En's thoughts began to wander, the infirmary door was pushed open.

The doctor and his class counselor walked in.

In college, counselors were usually elusive figures. This was only the second time Zhou En had seen his counselor that semester.

Zhou En quickly sat upright in bed and said to his counselor, "Hello, Teacher Zhang."

Teacher Zhang nodded, then asked in a businesslike manner, "Student Zhou En, are you all right? Are you still feeling any discomfort?"

Zhou En shook his head somewhat moved and said to his counselor, "No."

Teacher Zhang took out a notebook and pen from his pocket.

"Zhou En, give me a general account of what happened."

Teacher Zhang was in a rather poor mood. If the students did not cause any trouble, a counselor could simply lie at home and collect a paycheck.

But there just had to be several troublesome students in a class, constantly creating problems for the counselor.

Zhou En clearly had no idea that the kind and amiable Teacher Zhang had already labeled him a problem student. He obediently recounted the whole incident.

After listening to Zhou En's account, the counselor could not help frowning deeply.

"You're saying that Li Hui from the Fighting Club sent people to ambush you because he was afraid you would threaten his position as an official member?"

From Teacher Zhang's words, it was clear that he was an expert at battle royale games.

The counselor tapped the notebook in his right hand against his left palm and said dismissively.

"Zhou En, you are involved in this matter, after all. I hope you can state the facts objectively. The school will give you a satisfactory explanation."

In Teacher Zhang's view, the idea that a bench member could threaten an official member was simply a huge joke.

"Teacher Zhang, that's the truth." Zhou En said firmly.

"All right." Teacher Zhang was somewhat helpless as he dutifully wrote down the general details Zhou En had provided.

Then he began repeatedly comforting Zhou En, saying that the school would provide an explanation and that he should focus on studying at school without worry, and so on.

In short, he was trying to keep Zhou En from making a big deal out of this and damaging the school's reputation.

"All right, Zhou En. You and Wang Rui should rest and recover in peace. If the situation is verified, the school will give you an explanation."

After saying a whole lot to comfort him, Teacher Zhang gave Zhou En his final farewell.

"Oh, right, Teacher Zhang. A girl from the Fine Arts Department happened to see Li Hui's people beat me up. This is her phone number."

Zhou En seemed to remember something. As he spoke, he sent Teacher Zhang the number saved in his phone.

Teacher Zhang's eyes flickered slightly.

Damn it, after asking for so long, I'd finally gotten something useful.

"All right, Zhou En. The school will handle this matter as soon as possible." Teacher Zhang stood and said.

"Okay."

"Then I'll be going, Doctor." Teacher Zhang nodded to Zhou En and the doctor, then turned and hurried away.

After dealing with the doctor, Zhou En checked the time and found that it was nearly noon already.

Although it was Sunday, Zhou En still found it hard to adjust to how half the day had vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Fatty, get up." Zhou En got out of bed and pushed Chubby. Based on their two years together, Zhou En was certain that Chubby was awake.

He just did not want to see the counselor, so he had been pretending to sleep.

"Zhou En, you really got me into deep trouble yesterday." Chubby opened his eyes and muttered.

"This won't be settled so easily." Zhou En clenched his fist and said.

To be honest, Zhou En felt terribly sorry toward Chubby. If it had not been for him, Chubby would not have been beaten up.

"It's fine. I don't blame you." Chubby shook his enormous head and said in an old-fashioned tone.

Ding.

Just as Zhou En was moved to the point of tears, his phone received a text message. He picked it up and looked.

"The school has already reviewed the situation. Zhou En, bring Wang Rui to my office during evening self-study."

When Zhou En saw the message, his heart sank.

"What is it?" Chubby leaned his huge head over.

"I don't think this will go so smoothly." Zhou En said in a low voice.

"If the school had truly confirmed that Li Hui ordered people to beat us up, the counselor's tone wouldn't have been like this."

Hearing that, Chubby also realized something.

"Could Li Hui really have such powerful backing?" Chubby asked in disbelief.

Zhou En shook his head, took out his phone, and called Su Lin.

He believed Su Lin definitely knew something about Li Hui. Zhou En did not know what kind of background Li Hui had that allowed him to ignore the school's rules.

When Su Lin received Zhou En's call, he was still in bed dreaming.

He hugged his blanket and drooled, clearly having a wonderful dream.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells, Xiao Huang the newspaper seller, selling papers one by one."

"Who the hell is so wicked? I finally met a beautiful woman."

Su Lin muttered as he answered the phone.

"Hello." Su Lin's impatient tone was obvious.

"Su Lin, it's Zhou En. I wanted to ask about Li Hui's background."

At those words, Su Lin instantly sobered up. He kicked away the blanket he was hugging, sat up, and asked seriously.

"Li Hui made a move against you?"

"Su Lin, you... pulled the blanket over my head." The person in the lower bunk said angrily.

Judging by the fury on his face, he wanted nothing more than to swallow Su Lin alive.

"Sorry." Su Lin casually brushed him off, nearly making his roommate explode with rage.
