Shut up, I am really a pure love god of war!

Chapter 19 What kind of monster is this?
"Surrender yourself?"

Ye Guodong's face became even worse: "Bai Yang, you don't want to say that the incident of climbing over the wall to leave the school has something to do with you, right?"

Bai Yang nodded calmly, "I'm really sorry, Teacher Ye."

"It was me who led the effort to climb over the wall and go to the Internet cafe."

Wu Bo's eyes widened and he couldn't help but say: "Bai Yang, you——"

Bai Yang interrupted him: "Wu Bo, there is no need for you to hide anything. It was me who suggested going to the Internet cafe. You are at most an accomplice."

Ye Guodong sneered: "Oh?"

He stood up and walked in front of Bai Yang: "This is a bit unexpected. You also have a role in this?"

Facing Bai Yang, Ye Guodong did not act as he would towards an ordinary student, but the anger hidden in his tone was even stronger: "Come on, keep talking, let me see what kind of drama you are going to play this time."

Only a few days after the start of school, Bai Yang had already appeared in the teacher's office three times, and not one of those times made him worry-free. The first time he had a fight with students from other classes was fine, and although Ye Guodong felt that he was being used, Chen Youde was a poor student after all, and he did fight in the office, so he deserved to be punished.

However, after doing this again and again, Ye Guodong felt that he should reflect on whether his attitude towards this student was too lenient, making the other party feel that he was taking advantage of him.

Bai Yang also sensed the change in Ye Guodong's attitude. He said sincerely, "Teacher Ye, I fully admit my mistake. I violated school regulations and caused a bad influence. For this, I am willing to accept any punishment from the school."

Ye Guodong remained unmoved.

It is a qualified attitude to admit mistakes, but compared with this incident, it is far from enough.

Based on his understanding of this student, he would not have only these tricks.

"Keep talking, I'm listening."

"I have never been to an Internet cafe. I was worried that it would be too chaotic and dangerous, so I asked Wu Bo to accompany me. When I was climbing over the wall, Wu Bo's... um, accidental factors damaged the school's public property. After the incident, I was lucky, so I didn't turn myself in to the teacher in time, which made the impact of the incident even worse."

Bai Yang was clear and logical: "In addition to the appropriate punishment, I will bear all the losses of the school."

"You're taking all the responsibility." Ye Guodong's tone was close to a joke after being extremely angry. He stared at Bai Yang and said, "Just assume that I believe what you said. Okay, now most of the responsibility for this matter is yours. So tell me, how are you going to defend yourself?"

"Don't forget, you painted a big rosy picture for me yesterday about Tsinghua University. If this matter is confirmed as you said, I probably won't be able to eat your pie."

The threat in his words was hidden but he believed Bai Yang understood it.

Bai Yang remained calm and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ye, for giving me the opportunity to explain."

"I do have my reasons, but of course, no matter what the reasons are, they cannot be used as an excuse for violating the rules—"

"Stop talking nonsense." Ye Guodong interrupted: "I don't want to hear these empty words."

Bai Yang then got straight to the point: "I went to the Internet cafe to write an article."

Ye Guodong: “.”

After a long silence, he suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Bai Yang, I always thought you were a smart person."

"You have always behaved very maturely and with good sense, so my communication with you is not just from the perspective of teacher and student." Ye Guodong walked back to his desk and sat down. "So, is this all you have to be clever?"

"You want me to explain to the school that someone in my class escaped from the dormitory in the middle of the night and climbed over the wall to leave the school in order to go to an Internet cafe to write an article?"

Such a thing happened to the students he was teaching, and even though they had just been divided into different classes, Ye Guodong, as the class teacher, would still be punished at school.

This is also why Ye Guodong was angry today.

After Bai Yang turned himself in, he was still wondering if this different student would give him any surprises, but how was the other party's reason any different from explaining that one was late because one had diarrhea?
Ye Guodong’s words have made it very clear that what he wants is a solution, not an excuse.

"That's right." Bai Yang seemed not to understand what Ye Guodong said.

"I don't remember the Chinese teacher assigning homework on this subject." Ye Guodong felt disappointed and said rudely, "Just play games! If you honestly admit it, I'll respect you a little. Why are you using this excuse to lie to me?"

"Do you take me for a fool?"

"Teacher Ye, I definitely didn't mean that." Bai Yang quickly explained: "It's indeed not a manuscript within the scope of teaching. It's my own personal matter. Teacher Ye, I don't know how to explain it. Uh, can I borrow your office computer?"

Ye Guodong laughed in anger and leaned back: "Use it, let me see what tricks you can come up with."

"Thank you, Teacher Ye." Bai Yang would never be stingy with due courtesy. After saying this, Bai Yang used Teacher Ye's computer to log into QQ and opened his email.

【New emails: 1】

"Teacher Ye, please take a look." Bai Yang opened the email and moved it aside.

"Email?" Ye Guodong glanced at the title and said, "Is this the manuscript you mentioned? Legends of the Past and Present? So, you want to tell me that you wrote the manuscript in the Internet cafe in order to submit it, right?"

He sneered again: "Don't forget your identity. You are a student. Although the school does not object to students doing this kind of thing after school, it will never support it, let alone doing it under the premise of violating school rules."

"Of course." Bai Yang repeated: "So, I'm not trying to make excuses for my violation. For students, it's only natural to admit when you make a mistake."

He paused, "But for Teacher Ye, the nature of this matter may be different."

Then Bai Yang reminded at the right time: "Teacher Ye, this email is not a submission email."

"Jin Gu Chuan Qi is the sender." Ye Guodong was stunned for a moment.

He turned his eyes to the computer screen again and checked the content of the email.

"Hello, Teacher Bai Yang—"

The first sentence almost made Ye Guodong choke. The two words "Bai Yang" and "teacher" together gave him a sense of absurdity.

Teacher? Wait, he is the teacher, then who am I?
He suppressed this absurdity and continued reading:

"We are very grateful for your time and effort in creating this article. After review by the editorial department, your article meets the acceptance criteria of our journal."

"Our journal is willing to accept your article at a price of 450 yuan per thousand words, with a total remuneration of 2120 yuan. If you are willing to accept this remuneration, please reply to this email within three working days and attach the payment account number and delivery address."

Cough!

Ye Guodong finally couldn't hold back his coughing. He patted his chest and read the email again in disbelief.

"More than two thousand yuan?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Bai Yang nodded in agreement: "The manuscript fee is clearly marked as 500 per thousand words, but they gave me a discount. It seems that it is because I am a newcomer."

"Is that what I'm asking you?" Ye Guodong stood up excitedly. "You're a high school sophomore, and your writings were actually included in a physical magazine, and you got such a high remuneration?"

Of course he knew about the Legends of Ancient and Modern Times. In fact, middle-aged men of Ye Guodong's age were the main audience of this magazine. After all, when they were young, martial arts were very popular.

"It was just an attempt. I didn't expect it to be successful." Bai Yang said modestly.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ye Guodong even forgot to act like a teacher. He paced a few times and finally calmed down. He suddenly looked at Bai Yang suspiciously: "Is this the move you prepared?"

Bai Yang looked puzzled: "Teacher Ye, what do you mean?"

"I have to say that you are well prepared." Ye Guodong said, "But it's too outrageous."

Compared to the fact that a high school sophomore could submit an article to such a top physical magazine in the country, Ye Guodong instinctively believed that this was an email fabricated by Bai Yang himself.

"Teacher Ye, the sender of the email can be checked. It can be compared with the email address of Jin Gu Chuan Qi. Moreover, the editor's phone number is left at the end of the email."

Bai Yang explained calmly, "Besides, the magazine will be mailed to me later, so this can't be fake, right?"

Ye Guodong fell silent again.

He returned to the computer, carefully compared the email, and finally gave up the idea of ​​calling the number rashly.

"So, you really went to the Internet cafe to write an article?"

He sat in the chair, his previous anger and disappointment having long been washed away by shock.

"Teacher Ye, there is no need for me to lie to you." Bai Yang stood straight, his tone still respectful.

"This is a bit..." Ye Guodong was a little at a loss for words. After teaching students for so many years, he had never met someone like Bai Yang.

He was clearly only a 17-year-old sophomore in high school, but he was unusually mature. Whenever he talked to him, Ye Guodong felt that beneath his youthful appearance, there was a smooth and sophisticated middle-aged man of similar age to himself.

Moreover, judging from the attitude of Mr. Luo who teaches art, his art level must be quite good, otherwise the other party would not have come to him to poach people.

And now, I have become a contributing writer to the magazine?
Even if it was me, my basic salary was only over 4,000 yuan a month, but he just wrote a manuscript and earned more than half a month's salary! And he was still called Teacher Baiyang by others?

He looked at Bai Yang deeply, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Even so, it is hard to explain the violation of school rules."

"Of course." Bai Yang answered quickly: "I never thought about explaining, Teacher Ye, I never intended to evade the school's punishment from the beginning to the end. As I said just now, this is not my excuse."

He looked at Ye Guodong and said slowly, "I just don't want Teacher Ye to be implicated because of my willful behavior."

Ye Guodong was shocked!
He was also a smart man and immediately understood Bai Yang's subtext.

It is completely different that one's student stays out all night and skips school to play games in Internet cafes, and that one's student is a contributing writer who has to go to Internet cafes to write manuscripts during his spare time in order to write.

In the former case, I would definitely be accused of poor management by the school, but in the latter case, it is a bit more subtle.

Even though for the school, being a writer who can publish in physical magazines, especially martial arts magazines, is not an honor worth mentioning, but it will definitely bring about a change in perception.

Is this a violation of school rules? Yes, but is it worthy of a big, public punishment or even disciplinary action?

There is room for discussion!

As for myself? I would definitely avoid being punished by the school, and if I handled it properly, I might even get some benefits from it.

He looked at Bai Yang again, and felt a new emotion in his heart.

This guy clearly knew what he wanted, but he pretended to be a good student, taking every step carefully, and finally revealed his true intentions.

Is this the mindset of an underage student?

What a monster!
