The class teacher gave me an applause and the students followed. When I took my seat, the class teacher commented with pride, "Nanxing, well said. Many of you are unable to focus on your goal and study. Students, time is of the essence. Like what Nanxing said, you have to learn to focus."
I could feel the helplessness in the teacher's voice but unfortunately she couldn't feel mine. It was exhausting dealing with rumors even at school.
Regardless, my action had left an indelible impression on my classmates, because none of them dared to whisper behind my back anymore. However, there were many students from the other classes who came to 'visit' me.
