Chapter 352: Chapter 352: Not to be taken as a precedent 2_1

"After returning to school, if Gu En doesn’t ask to change dorms on her own, you should initiate a request for a dorm switch. Don’t stay together with Gu En anymore," He Teng gently shifted He Zhilan’s messy hair behind her ears, "You’ll stay another night in the hospital. Your fever has subsided, so you can be discharged tomorrow and return to school."

"If she doesn’t switch, then I won’t either! In the dormitory, Jiang Biyun and Chen Xiting are my good friends. Huang Cai and Wang Bingbing are decent people. I don’t want to switch and get to become acquainted with others. Moreover, I don’t know if another Gu En will show up or not! At least, Jiang Biyun and Chen Xiting are genuinely good friends to me, and Huang Cai and Wang Bingbing won’t help Gu En bully me!" He Zhilan shook her head, "However, I will be more cautious in the future. I will not be fooled by her again, and I will no longer be bullied! Brother, don’t worry, after all, I’ve managed to survive in the He family for twelve years. Do you think a little troublemaker like me will continue to be bullied after becoming aware of her situation?"

"Huh~" He Teng chuckled softly, "So, are you asking for praise for having experience in being mischief?"

He Zhilan shrank her neck and shook her head, "No."

Startled, seeing He Teng’s slightly amused face, He Zhilan’s spirit was lifted, "Brother, have you forgiven me?"

"He Zhilan, remember, this is the last time." He Teng nodded, "There will be no exceptions. If there is a next time, I won’t listen to your explanations. Even if Dad pleads for you, it won’t work."

He Zhilan nodded eagerly, her heart filled with joy. She didn’t know what happened while she was asleep, but when she woke up, He Teng wasn’t giving her the cold shoulder anymore, and that was a good thing for her!

"Thanks, brother!" He Zhilan gave a heartfelt thank you, "Brother, I will listen to you in the future."

"This time, you were tormented by Gu En and I couldn’t do anything for you. Do you feel wronged?" He Teng didn’t know what was going on inside He Zhilan’s mind. If today, the He family wasn’t just a nobody from the countryside, then the bullying He Zhilan endured couldn’t possibly have ended without any repercussions. If the He family had sufficient power, evidence wouldn’t remain hidden. Even without evidence, as long as the He family had adequate prestige, they could still seek justice for He Zhilan."

"What’s the point of feeling wronged? I was the one who was foolish enough to fall into Gu En’s trap. My mind isn’t as cunning as hers. I was too naive, thinking everyone in the world was the same as me. So even if I feel wronged, I deserved it. Who told me not to be smarter and completely lack cunning?" He Zhilan shook her head. What’s the use of feeling wronged? Feeling wronged only makes oneself unhappy. Therefore, even if she feels wronged, she won’t admit it. These feelings of unfairness can only serve as a reminder to herself to be smarter.

"Don’t complain about this incident with Gu En. People like Gu En in this world are after all the minority. And don’t change yourself just because you’ve faced some injustice. There’s never anything wrong with being kind in life. Don’t do evil for small gains, it’s a moral our elementary school teachers taught us. However, you should become a bit more circumspect. The capital is not like our countryside where people are simple and kind."

He Teng patted He Zhilan’s head. He didn’t want Zhilan to become a dreadful person like Gu En because of this incident. He just hoped that after this matter, He Zhilan could see things more clearly and understand some truths.

"I understand." He Zhilan looked up at He Teng and smiled, "Don’t worry, brother. We must be guarded against people with bad intentions, but we should not harbor ill-intent ourselves. This is what you want to tell me, right?"

"All these years of your schooling haven’t gone in vain." He Teng replied.
