Chapter 602: Chapter 604: A Rude Awakening

Chu Feng heard He Zhen’s question and replied seriously, "Brother, I’ve come to say goodbye. I’m thinking of leaving the school."

"Why? Are you unhappy at school?" Lin Xue Mei immediately stopped and turned to Chu Feng with concern.

Chu Feng shook his head firmly, saying, "Sister-in-Law, the time I’ve spent at school has been the happiest. But there are too many people who want me dead, so I have to leave. I don’t want to be a security risk to others because of myself. If anyone gets hurt because of me, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, He Zhen’s brows furrowed, and he then asked, "Is that your reason for leaving the school?"

Chu Feng nodded, saying, "Yes, it is."

He Zhen responded to Chu Feng, "Younger brother, I always thought you were someone who could shoulder responsibility, a courageous person. But I never imagined you would be so hesitant. What will leaving school prove? It will only show that you are scared, it shows that we Huaxia people are scared, that we are afraid of bloodshed, that we fear war.

We do not wish for war, but that does not mean we are afraid of it. You should know about the dark period of the Qing Dynasty, right? Do you know why we Huaxia were divided back then? It was because we were scared, because we feared. That’s why they dared to lord over us, why they dared to push us further and further, to bully our Huaxia, to occupy our Huaxia.

You want to leave now; what’s the difference between you and the government of that time? Because you are scared, you choose to leave. But have you thought about it, after you leave, they will become even more brazen. Will the school truly become peaceful just because you’re gone? If everyone thinks like this, would there be a place left in Huaxia where a desk could be placed?

He Zhen’s words were a wake-up call that suddenly made Chu Feng understand a lot. Indeed, he should not back down now; showing hesitation would only be interpreted by the enemy as fear.

By doing so, he would end up even less secure. Moreover, the enemies might become crazier in time.

"Is my younger brother also worried that innocent students will get hurt?" Lin Xue Mei intervened.

He Zhen glanced at Chu Feng and said, "If he lets others get hurt, it’s his own lack of ability."

Lin Xue Mei glared at her old man and said to Chu Feng, "Don’t listen to him, Chu Feng. He’s just a stubborn old man."

Chu Feng’s eyes shone with determination as he replied, "Sister-in-Law, Brother is right. If I can’t protect my own classmates, then it’s my own lack of ability. I won’t drop out of school, unless I graduate from this school."

He Zhen, satisfied with Chu Feng’s answer, nodded and said, "That’s the younger brother I know."

After a pause, He Zhen said, "Actually, you don’t need to worry too much about them doing anything to our students. Although I’m not part of your Jinghu World, I do know there are rules in Jinghu. Students are the future of the country, and no one who dares to lay a finger on our students will be ignored by our nation, unless they want to face a retaliation they cannot endure."

He Zhen was right in this regard. Young people, especially highly educated young people, are the future of a country. Any foreign power that dares to make a move would not be ignored by the nation. Given Huaxia’s current national strength and military power, truly no one would dare to start a war.

That’s the benefit of a strong nation; not to bully others, but at least to ensure that no one dares to bully us.

After sitting with Chu Feng for a while and helping He Jianguo and Rao Ying pick an auspicious day, Chu Feng left He Zhen’s house. As he stepped out, Chu Feng’s heart was completely at ease.

Until now, Chu Feng had hesitated between dropping out and staying in school. But now, Chu Feng no longer needed to hesitate.

Chu Feng had just left He Zhen’s house when he saw Xie Mengying heading towards it.

"Sister Mengying," Chu Feng called out when he saw Xie Mengying.

Xie Mengying stopped in her tracks, and upon seeing it was Chu Feng, she sighed with relief; however, her expression immediately turned a bit awkward as she said, "Are you here to say goodbye to godfather?"

Chu Feng had told Xie Mengying that he was coming back to attend classes today, but Xie Mengying didn’t see Chu Feng in class so she had a bad premonition. Thus, right after class ended, Xie Mengying hurried over to He Zhen’s place. She guessed that Chu Feng might be here.

Upon hearing Xie Mengying’s words, Chu Feng shook his head and said, "I’m not here to say goodbye, and I won’t be dropping out. Unless I graduate, or the school expels me, I won’t leave the school."

"Really!" Xie Mengying’s eyes lit up with excitement as she heard Chu Feng’s words.

Chu Feng nodded and said, "Really. Of course, if Sister Mengying, you don’t want to teach me anymore, I would also leave the school."

Xie Mengying said, "I am a teacher, and I’m willing to teach even the worst students."

Chu Feng, looking at Xie Mengying in her professional attire, smirked and said, "What about students who tease their teacher, Sister Mengying, would you still teach them?"

On hearing Chu Feng’s words, Xie Mengying’s cheeks flushed slightly as she said, "If I encounter such a student, I will definitely tell his girlfriend."

Chu Feng chuckled and said, "I was just joking. With a goddess teacher like you, teasing you would simply be a desecration. Sister Mengying, are you looking for elder brother for something? Or did you come specifically to see if I was here?"

Xie Mengying spat out disdainfully, "I’ve never seen a student with such a big ego. Godmother said that Rao Ying and Secretary He are preparing to get married, and asked me to accompany Rao Ying to select a wedding dress."

Chu Feng said, "That’s true, it’s not suitable for sister-in-law to go. If Jianguo went, I guess even the owner of the wedding dress shop would shiver. You going is just right, and if you like, pick out a set you like, I’ll give it to you."

A sweetness filled Xie Mengying’s heart, and with a hint of shyness, she said, "Wedding dresses are not given away casually."

Chu Feng said, "It’s okay, if you cling to me, I won’t blame you."

Xie Mengying lifted her foot, aiming to stomp on Chu Feng, and said, "Rascal."

"Oh, by the way, Mia seems to have run into a bit of trouble recently. Could you check on her for me? I asked her, but she won’t say what the trouble is," Xie Mengying suddenly remembered to say.

"What trouble? Someone bullying her? Or is she thinking of bullying someone else?" Chu Feng asked.

Xie Mengying glared at Chu Feng and said, "Why do you always think about fights and killings? Besides, if I knew what the trouble was, wouldn’t I have told you already? Anyway, Mia is your employee, and if she can’t work properly, it’s your loss."

Chu Feng said, "Okay, I got it. Her trouble is my trouble; I’ll go to the company and find Mia to resolve the issue right now."
