Baitang came out to digest food, and the place she chose was the old library that many students knew but would never show up. In contrast, the basketball court behind this old library has also become an abandoned court. It was on the second floor that Baitang flipped through some yellowed ancient poems and saw Zhou Chen who kept dodging basketballs on the basketball court outside the window.

There were four boys on the court, and three of them were clapping a basketball in their hands, and they threw the basketball in their hands towards Zhou Chen, who was surrounded by them in a triangle. Baitang closed the ancient poem with one hand, and looked at the scene below with great interest. When she was in the private room before, she was still lamenting that the struggle among the children was too gentle, but she didn't expect to see the opposite of gentleness in a blink of an eye.

The three basketballs were all aimed at Zhou Chen's body, and the cooperation between the three people was also tacit, and Baitang noticed that two children had practiced before, so every time Zhou Chen went to intercept those two people's shots When a basketball comes over, they often cannot bear the momentum from the basketball, and let the basketball bounce back directly.

As a result, Zhou Chen's physical strength was exhausted very quickly, and his body received more and more impacts.

When Zhou Chen bent his knees and nearly fell to his knees on the ground, Bai Tang put the ancient poem in his hand on the window sill, and then took out his mobile phone to take a short video of what happened on the court.

"Let's call it a day." Yang Jincheng stopped throwing after getting the basketball, and the other two stopped throwing the ball after hearing his words. He twirled the basketball on his fingers, glanced at Zhou Chen who was opposite, and slowly smiled on his face, his tone full of contempt, "Zhou Chen, look at your current appearance, how can you still have the slightest trace of what you used to be?" Arrogance? You can't even handle this kind of trick. What about your servants, they all ran away when they knew something happened to your family? It seems that your vision is really not ordinary."

Baitang could hear his words clearly, and he became interested in this kid, so he stopped thinking about what to do with the short video.

"Don't you just use this kind of low-level tricks to taunt me when my family is down, Yang Jincheng?" After being ridiculed brightly, Zhou Chen seemed to have figured out something, although the look in his eyes was still a little bit The intractable gloom, but a little more clarity. "As for my vision, then you don't need to worry about it."

Yang Jincheng laughed out loud, handed the basketball in his hand to the servant A who walked to the side, walked up to Zhou Chen, looked down from a high position and said: "Before coming to Qiming, others said how good Zhou Chen of the Zhou family is. , how is it ten times better than me, the incompetent boy of the Yang family, but after three years, it's nothing more than that."

"What's the use of being popular with teachers like us who only have good grades?" After leaving the last sentence, Yang Jincheng walked away with his followers, and looked back before leaving the court, "Don't worry, after today , I will not come to trouble you again." And after today, he will no longer treat Zhou Chen as an opponent.

Zhou Chen was not stupid in the first place, Yang Jincheng didn't explain the full meaning, how could he not understand. But he didn't show anything, he lowered his head and fell into a long silence. When he raised his head again, Baitang saw a certain settling firmness in his eyes.

Baitang could clearly see the expression on his face, Zhou Chen naturally caught a glimpse of Baitang standing by the window when he raised his head. There is no doubt that the person upstairs saw people in the scenes that happened just now. However, this person did nothing but smiled politely at him.

He didn't look at Baitang for too long, he stood up straight and turned away.

Baitang picked up the ancient poem on the window sill and turned to the previous page, on which was a poem "Homesickness" by Li Gou. She wanted to laugh but couldn't. Obviously this is her real home, but after coming back for so long, she still hasn't regained the sense of belonging that she never forgot to come back to.

Things are different, that's about it. She sighed softly in her heart, not knowing whether the little apprentice's progress was going well or not. At this time, she had no leisure to read poetry anymore, and put the book back on the shelf. The next moment, the phone kept vibrating in his pocket, and when he looked at the screen, it was Bai Nan's call.

Bai Tang went outside and picked up the phone. On the other end of the phone was Bai Nan's sullen voice: "Sister, come to our head teacher's office."

"What happened?"

"Anyway, you'll know when you come."

Baitang went to the teacher's office of the second grade with doubts. Knocking on the door and going in, he saw Bai Nan standing with his back to him, and there was another boy beside him. She walked up and smiled politely: "Teacher Cheng."

"Bai Nan, I asked you to notify the parents." Teacher Cheng had only met Bai Tang in the morning, so of course he knew the identities of the two siblings. However, seeing that the person who appeared was Baitang, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Teachers like them without background blessings sometimes have a particularly headache when facing the parents of those noble students.

"Teacher, what happened to Bai Nan?"

"Your brother got into a fight with his classmate on the first day of school and smashed his classmate's face."

Bai Tang turned around to take a look at Bai Nan who was pursing her lips and didn't want to say anything, then turned to the little boy next door, who had indeed scratched his forehead a little. "Excuse me, does the teacher know the reason for their fight?" Bai Nan, a kid, doesn't like to use force to solve problems in essence, and usually asking him to use force is to drag the bottom line of this kid.

"There was something wrong with both of them about today's matter." Facing Baitang's flat gaze, Teacher Cheng suddenly couldn't show his attitude towards his students, and really treated her as Bai Nan's parent. "Li Li said some inappropriate things, but Bai Nan took the initiative to hit someone."

Bai Tang immediately turned back to look at Li Li who was using himself as the background, and asked kindly: "What did you say to Bai Nan?"

"I just said that Bai Nan is a wild child from the countryside. Without his mother, his father is still a cripple who can't walk." As soon as he finished speaking, Li Li opened his eyes wide and looked at Baitang who was smiling at him in shock. "So what if I just said that? What I said is the truth, shouldn't the truth be told?"

Baitang stretched out his hand to hold Bai Nan's hand, and Teacher Cheng, who was sitting on the office chair, had a bad expression on his face. When he saw the two fighting, he only heard Li Li say that Bai Nan was a wild child, and then called the two into the office, but neither of them opened their mouths in a tacit understanding. And the other students who watched said that they didn't know the whole story.

"Teacher Cheng," Baitang raised his eyes, still smiling and looking like a good student, "Do you think my brother is still wrong?"

"There are many ways to deal with the problem. Fighting is the least advisable. Bai Nan is still a student, and students should abide by the school rules."

"Teacher Cheng is right. Fighting is the most undesirable way to deal with it." But listening to Baitang's decent lesson, Teacher Cheng felt an indescribable sense of disobedience. Tang continued, "Look, besides letting me know you got into a fight at school, what did you get?"

"Li Li, who told you this news?" The conversation changed, and Bai Tang asked Li Li again.

Of course Li Li didn't want to say it, but he was horrified to find that his mouth was uncontrollably telling the truth: "I only found out that someone sent these words to my mobile phone."

When Bai Tang got the news he wanted, he stopped asking, "Mr. Cheng, we don't need Bai Nan's apology from Li Li. I'll take him to the infirmary first to see if he's hurt anywhere."

Teacher Cheng was taken aback for a moment, Bai Tang had already led Bai Nan away without looking back.

As soon as he left the office, Bai Nan shook off Bai Tang's hand, "What do you mean by what you just said? What do you mean I got something?"

"Say you're stupid."

"My grades are better than yours!"

Baitang glanced over, and the child slowly fell silent. "Don't even think about it. It's only been half a day since you came to school, and he doesn't know you. How do you know where we come from? Dad can't walk?"

Bai Nan was speechless immediately, Bai Tang looked at him and hooked the corners of his mouth, and then threw out the bait: "So, do you have the ability to find out the mastermind behind the text message or the person who sent the text message?"

"You mean...!" Bai Nan thought that the person who sent the text message was behind the scenes, but after hearing Bai Tang's words, it turned out to be so complicated. "You also said that we didn't know anyone when we first came here, so why did we do this?"

"It depends on what you can dig."

Bai Nan suddenly looked at Baitang as if she were looking at a stranger, "Baitang, why do I feel that every time something unexpected happens, you seem to know everything that happened?" This is so strange .

Baitang blinked, "Aren't I waiting for you to find out the ins and outs of the facts?"

"I will definitely investigate your matter together."

Baitang smiled without saying a word, and separated from Bai Nan to go back to the third grade classroom. Sure enough, as soon as the incident of Bai Nan's fight came out, everyone was sure that the news that they came from the countryside and had a father who couldn't walk was true, and their attitude towards her changed again—both sides were rejecting her.

The aristocrats felt that her identity was not pure enough, that she was a fake aristocrat with a surname who came out halfway. The civilians felt that she was vain, she was obviously born in the countryside, but she wanted to come in as a nobleman. In short, she is an alternative in the eyes of both sides.

"Is what they preached true?" Wang Yu turned to ask for confirmation after she sat down.

Baitang didn't hide it, and nodded frankly. Wang Yu looked at her deeply for a few seconds, then turned her head back.

On the other side, Xu Jingjing lightly touched Shen Yiyao's arm, winked at her and whispered: "Is this the person you said was more anxious than you did this?" For half a day, it was impossible for Baitang to be with her. The students in the class have developed some touching friendships, and once the news is released, even if they had a friendly heart in the past, they will still hold on to their identities and disdain to associate with Baitang. This is because they wanted to isolate Baitang from their class from the very beginning.

After Shen Yiyao finished writing the last word in her homework book, she closed the book and smiled at Xu Jingjing, "But she did it in a hurry." If she wasn't in a hurry, how could she do such a thing with a gap? People who don't know about identity will of course avoid Baitang from now on, but who is Bai Jingyang, and what happened back then is not without trace, and it will be a matter of time before the real identity is discovered. At that time, the spread of rumors this time was a black spot that Su Moran couldn't erase.

For such a result, Shen Yiyao couldn't be more satisfied.

"Is there any problem here?"

Shen Yiyao shook her head, "Isn't it urgent enough to do it on the first day?"

Xu Jingjing thought so, so she stopped asking.

Baitang had already forgotten that there was a girl from the Shen family in the class, suddenly, Zhou Chen's voice came from the side abruptly: "You have to be careful." She turned her head to look over, and Zhou Chen didn't act like he did in the morning. He chose to sleep on the table, but met her gaze, and didn't want to say a word of explanation.

"thanks."
