Teacher Xue’s lipsticks were all from luxury brands, how could she bear to let someone else use them. She laughed and said: “It won’t look good on you, we should paint it on our Haohao.”
Haohao was naturally Lu Hao. Lu Hao smiled and fished out Zhang Wenqi’s nail polish, saying: “It’s more vibrant to paint it with this.”
The class laughed uproariously again.
Oreo really didn’t get their joke. He was doing a math problem and felt that they were incredibly noisy; so noisy that they were like exaggerated cartoon animals, laughing incessantly or perhaps like the prostitutes in the comical scenes of ‘Dreams of a Red Mansion’.
Lu Hao was smart. He knew that Teacher Xue didn’t intend to take out her lipstick.
Lu Hao stood up, attracting everyone’s attention. He walked and stopped in front of Oreo. Oreo still had his head lowered and was doing a problem when his face was gripped and forced upward.
The students around them were very cooperative. They held Oreo down as Lu Hao twisted open the cap and helped Oreo put on ‘lipstick’.
A lot stained his teeth. It smelled bad, like gasoline.
Teacher Xue kept on smiling with the girls in the front. Everyone was smiling.
“Come, let’s draw some ‘eye shadows’ too.” Lu Hao said.
Oreo was used to this and didn’t struggle. However, when the nail polish brush poked his eyes, they still turned red.
Two drops of tears fell.

His crying appearance was even funnier. With lips and eyes painted with nail polish, he looked like a clown.
At first, it was only Jia Beibei who couldn’t help it and laughed again. Then, the entire class started to laugh.
Gu Xin worked on the math problems by himself. He was used to this kind of atmosphere in math class.
They were all laughing, laughing happily. If he was a comedian, this moment would be the first success in his career.
Oreo’s tears were drowned in the laughter. He couldn’t hear himself crying anymore. Then, Oreo also laughed.
Thinking about it differently, if his comical self could bring joy to everyone, then it’s also not a bad thing.
This manner of self-comfort was really…
Weren’t there literary works called ‘Use it to cultivate forbearance’ and ‘Use it to learn forgiveness’.
Outside the window, the sunlight was radiant and beautiful. Running on the sports field were young and energetic teenagers. They were kind and warm.
How could he be so sinister as to treat their jokes as maliciousness?
They’re young, they’re just mischievous youths. If I’m too narrow-minded, everyone will dislike me.
Teacher Xue…isn’t that right?
When the dismissal bell rang, Oreo was already asleep, tired out from crying and laughing. Teacher Xue didn’t teach anything in the latter half of class either, she was too lazy to even read out the PowerPoint anymore. She directly put the homework answers on the smartboard, saying it was so everyone could ‘check their answers’, but in actuality, it was just to make sure everyone did their homework in case the school checked. The students of Class five never did their homework anyway, they always copied it on the second day.
Every time class ended, Oreo would be bullied in between classes. Today, everyone was busy copying the homework so Oreo quickly slipped out of the classroom, planning to return when class started again.
He hid behind the locust tree on the sports field and sat on the ground to continue doing his math problems. At the same time, he also kept an ear out for the first bell. It’s not good to return the moment the first bell rang. He should count to fifty after it had finished ringing before returning. That would be the safest time.
He suddenly perceived someone crouching in front of him. Oreo looked up.
It was Gu Xin.
Gu Xin held something out to him. Having been intensively teased by Lu Hao and Zhang Wenqu, Oreo reflexively curled up and didn’t take it.
Gu Xin saw that he wouldn’t take it. He ripped open the pack of wet wipes and helped him wipe off the red nail polish on his face.
“Hey, hey, it hurts, my skin is about to be rubbed off, you’re using too much strength.” Listening closely, Oreo’s voice was sweet and belonged to the lovely kind of boys.
“So you do know what pain is.” Gu Xin’s face was expressionless. He continued to help him wipe his face.
When he was bullied, Gu Xin neither stood out to help him nor joined them. It’s just when he hid behind this locust tree, he would say a few words to him.
Gu Xin was his second reason for staying in school.
“Whoever said pain will eventually numb is a liar. No matter how many times you’ve been cut, ‘pain’ is always there.” Oreo’s eyes twinkled. He stared fixedly at Gu Xin. Gu Xin didn’t meet eyes with him and only concentrated on wiping the nail polish on his face. This gave Oreo greater confidence to peek at his handsome face.
Oreo was the clearest on this. A person’s perception of suffering had no correlation with how much suffering they had gone through.
In his first year, he was still a gentle, confident guy who came from a good background. His family belonged to the upper-middle class and he was sent to this school for aristocrats. He had good grades and a goal that was similar to the ‘American Dream’. He earnestly believed that he would be able to make the cross and enter the circle of social elites. His ambitions had been strong and warm like a spring breeze.
At that time the class had just been formed and Lu Hao was his good friend. Zhang Wenqi and Lu Hao were sweethearts that had been together since the start of middle school and their relationship was very sweet. Teacher Xue had said: Although grades were important, it wasn’t the most important thing. She hoped that her students could learn to be a person first before learning how to study. Early love? It’s alright as long as they didn’t cross any lines. Copying homework? Alright, as long as you learned all the materials.
Back then, the person Oreo hated the most was their year’s director, Director Jiang. She was incompetent, had a strong accent, and would often mess up when planning school events. One time, Oreo was the manager of a show and at the last moment, the order of performance was switched but Director Jiang forgot to notify everyone, causing chaos to ensue at the scene. Oreo only managed to keep the situation under control using his eloquence and experience, but later on, Director Jiang even blamed him for not making the sequence clear. Director Jiang was simply made to be the public’s enemy; no one in the grade liked her and even her own students hated her.
Not to mention, since Teacher Xue hated Director Jiang, it made Oreo hate this person even more.
Then later, his world collapsed, starting from the beginning of the second year.
At first, it was because something happened to his parents. There was an investigation to catch corruption and they were implicated. He was only able to continue attending this aristocratic school because his parents had already paid three years of his tuition in advance.
After this incident, his aunt and uncle took him in. The two of them were leeches who constantly sucked off of Oreo’s family. Their hands were always outstretched towards Oreo’s parents for money. After Oreo’s parents went to jail, his days of living on other people’s charity were truly miserable.
Once upon a time, he was also warm, simple, and good, searching for love and freedom.
I feel pity for Oreo. His school is a nightmare 😫. I don’t really like Gu Xin, any person who witness bullying and does nothing about it can be tagged as an accomplice.
+1
+2
+3
Based on the summary, I’m guessing Gu Xin is the two-faced gong? Since he got his business license revoked the story should be pretty fast paced. That’s good I don’t think I can read too many chapters of this level of violence.
Thanks for the chapter!
Wow, what plastic friends! How can all the parents not know how crappy this school is, especially the parents of this Class 5? Don’t their exam scores reflect that they aren’t learning anything??
Still hoping it’s not BE QAQ
Poor oreo
Poor Oreo
Poor Oreo. I’m crying QAQ
Thanks for the chapter~
