Xiangxiang’s Offering

"I heard that the scholar was criticized by the teacher today!"

The village girl came up to me with a mysterious look on her face and said. "No way? The scholar loves to study so much, and the school is so good, which teacher doesn't like such a student?"

It's just common sense. If I don't show my strong curiosity, the village girl will always keep me in suspense, otherwise she will feel that her news has fallen into the sea and she has no sense of accomplishment. "That old man Zhang Cunzheng! It is said that although he is kind and gentle at ordinary times, he is very fierce when he gets angry!"

The village girl looked embarrassed. "Don't say that to the teacher, he is only in his early 50s... and he is also a well-known professor in our department!"

I continued to seduce him. "Humph!"

The village girl looked contemptuous, "Famous professor, I think he is a well-known beast!"

"Scared? Why do you say that?"

My eyes were full of little stars, and my expectation was beyond words. "He wants us... or else..."

The village girl had a nervous expression on her face, but she just couldn't say the key words clearly. "What exactly do you want to say?"

I said that if you don't make it clear once and for all, I won't listen. The village girl hurried over and whispered: "I told you not to spread it around!"

I nodded solemnly. Who is like you who is a loudspeaker everywhere all day long. The village girl was silent for a while, and then she said seriously as if she had made a big decision: "Zhang Cunzheng is a beast in human form. He wants the girls in our class to be with him... that, otherwise, don't even think about taking his major courses, the whole class doesn't even think about it... If you can't pass it, it's very simple, you won't have a degree certificate, and you've gone to college for nothing!"

Me: "..."

The village girl continued: "Look at you, you read novels all day long, such as "Love in College". If you don't have a degree certificate by then, can you still count as having gone to college? Four years in..."

I interrupted the village girl and said: "How can you Yes! Where did you get this news? It can't be true! If we tell the school, he will be finished, right? How can we let him do this for nothing! "

The village girl looked at me with the eyes of a veteran looking at young people, and said calmly: "Zhang Cun is the school's most powerful academic talent, a well-known professor, and he just spread the rumor, not that he said it himself, how can we sue him without any evidence? If we push him into a corner, we will have a hard time! The school will help him! When the time comes..."

I don't want to listen to her comments, as long as she knows the information, Then he asked, "Has this happened before? Do you take it seriously?"

"Of course! Every year, there are seniors who satisfy him...either for one night or for a few days, and then all of them are admitted to graduate school, and their classes are all at peace."

The village girl paused and continued, "I know what you want to ask. Once, someone didn't believe the news, and as a result, only three people in the class passed his course, and they weren't the three best students, but more like random selections...The others who had more money at home gave more money during the make-up exam, and it was fine. Those who don't have money can just wait until graduation from the senior year and go home with a diploma!"

"Damn! Isn't that sinister?"

"Why not? Zhang Cunzheng is our professional teacher, teaching us several courses. You know, he can fail some of this course and some of that course. Anyway, you will not get a diploma in the end if you fail one course! It's not clear from the data that he is deliberately taking revenge!"

"Ah...then..."

"The monitor and others are worrying about this, why don't we go and listen!"

The village girl took my hand and was about to leave. "No. Let's go and see what tricks Teacher Zhang is playing!"

"Don't, Xiaoyu..."... In broad daylight, the empty corridor of the department office was obviously gloomy, probably because it was deserted. The village girl kept hiding behind me, and I held her hand tightly, careful not to let her run away accidentally. Finally, I forcibly pulled the village girl and knocked on Zhang Cunzheng's door. "Knock, knock, knock."

The hard door panel made my knuckles hurt, and the low echo seemed to hint to me that there was a quiet but bloodthirsty beast locked inside the door, unfathomable... "Come in!"

An old, deep and low voice sounded, which must have scolded many people when he was young. "What's the matter?"

The fifty-year-old man on the seat glanced at us, staring at me and the village girl, feeling that if we didn't pay attention, we would be hurt by his sudden attack. "Ah, that... Teacher Zhang, we want to ask you a few exercises..."

I said I was a little weak. Teacher Zhang stared at us without saying a word, as if he was interrogating a prisoner, his evil chin twitched, and then frowned and said: "Find the reference book on the bookshelf over there, I don't have time."

Who wants to stay here any longer! The village girl and I pretended to look it up carefully and then ran away like a fly. After leaving the department office, I felt like I had just walked through a hellhole. I was bathed in the bright sunshine, and the breeze blew on me. I felt indescribably comfortable from head to toe. "I feel like Teacher Zhang is so evil! He almost raped us just now!"

The village girl panted as if she had luckily saved her life. "Maybe we'll tie him up in a dark room! He's a very strict old man in class! He seems to be a relatively upright person who studies knowledge deeply. Why is he so weird when he's alone after class?"

"Xiaoyu, haven't you heard? The more knowledgeable a person is, the more perverted his mind is! He does things that are much more cruel than those ordinary criminals!"

What the village girl said made me agree with her. "Yes, yes! The political teacher in our high school is very perverted!"

"Humph! There is indeed something wrong with the surname Zhang. No wonder there are always scandals between him and female students,"

The village girl curled her lips and said bitterly: "From the graduate students he teaches to the undergraduates, there are always girls who are being seduced! Even including the girlfriend of his graduate student class! Didn't the rumor about Sister Xiang and him a few days ago?"

"No! That's fake news! Xiangxiang told me clearly that Zhang Cunzheng was indeed interested in her, but she rejected him without hesitation! Don't listen to people's nonsense, let alone spread it!"

"That's right! Who is I normally want to spend the night with this kind of person!"

"Hey, are you ashamed? You are so outspoken. I'd better tell the monitor first... and I swear I will never come to the department office building again!"

Two days later, the village girl and I found the monitor privately. It was difficult to ask him about such gossip and sensitive things. After some hesitation, the monitor always understood what we meant, and then laughed: "Hey! I said you two, you are not doing your job and just fantasize, right? How could Teacher Zhang say such a thing!"

The village girl was unhappy when she heard it. Isn't this a naked blow to her "Xiao Lingtong" signboard! "He didn't say it, but the previous students..."

"Do you believe the words of the previous students? Don't spread this matter again in the future!"

The monitor threatened us invisibly, but I felt that he was hiding something. He was so determined and fearless, either it didn't happen at all, or... Could it be that he had already solved this matter? What I didn't know at that time was that in order to help everyone, a girl stood up without hesitation... A secret class meeting two weeks ago: The sound effects in the KTV were turned off and it was eerily quiet. Several figures gathered around the tea table. "Xiangxiang, calm down first, maybe we can find a way!"

"Yeah! Find Su Qiang, his father should be able to..."

Xiangxiang was silent for a while, then smiled helplessly: "I don't want to find him. Besides, his father went to Europe to discuss a business a few days ago, and he won't be back until three months later. If they can find a way, the seniors before can also think of it... But, in fact, we can't beat them."

"They?"

"Yeah. Cai Peiyuan once said that he had experienced countless university struggles in his life. There are three factions in the university, namely the principal, teachers, and students. As long as two of these three factions join forces to oppose the third faction, the third faction will definitely fall! And the current situation is that we are the weakest third faction."

"This is too... Alas!"

A boy pounded on the table hard, shaking the wine glass over. "So, you decided..."

The monitor frowned. "Well... I think... I usually don't pay much attention to the class affairs, always dealing with associations and society. This time, a girl in the class needs to make such a choice, otherwise everyone will not get a diploma. Whether I can be admitted to graduate school is not important to me, but I don't want my good sisters to be hurt like this... Especially Xiaoyu, she is beautiful and refined, I am afraid that the old man will directly ask for her... It's better, it's better to solve this matter early..."

After Xiangxiang finished speaking, the other boys had red eyes and their cheeks were bitten. At this time, a girl came over to Xiangxiang and handed her a tissue, crying: "Xiangxiang, we... we... you did it for us... one day in the future, we will make him pay double!"

"Yes! Pay double!"

"Hmph! Don't let me have a good future, otherwise I will peel his skin!"... Xiangxiang walked alone on the river bank in the evening, and her red and swollen eyes could no longer be wiped. Thinking about the relationship with Su Qiang that was getting farther and farther, he always accompanied her in the past, but now she can only worry by herself. In Xiangxiang's heart, her good sister Xiaoyu is the most beautiful and the one that Zhang Cunzheng would like the most. She couldn't let the stinky man who didn't respect his teacher defile Xiaoyu. Because Su Qiang violated Xiaoyu, she should do something for Xiaoyu and me, otherwise she would never be able to face herself. I followed Xiangxiang from a distance, watching her lonely figure, although I didn't know what she was thinking, nor did I know what decision she made after hesitation. But seeing this scene, I always felt an inexplicable pain in my heart, which lingered for a long time.
