gentleman's manor

Edward is that blond, blue-eyed, arrogant and chubby guy. He has been paying attention to what happened here since just now. He walked over with his head held high and his chest held high until someone asked for help. John, who looked as if he had done something wrong, said: "Gentlemen, I don't intend to take sides with anyone, but everyone must recognize their own identities and abide by the rules that conform to their identities, otherwise the world will be out of order, Mr. Martin Do you agree with my words?"

John looked like he just wanted to turn around and run away, and no matter what the chubby asked, he just nodded in a panic and said, "Yes, yes sir."

I wiped the sweat from my forehead. How can these children, at such a young age, speak as realistic as an adult society.

"Where is Mr. Constantine? Do you agree with me?" Edward looked at me again, his round face assumed a serious look, and his blue eyes were narrowed by swollen eyelids, like a harsh man. An unflattering lady.

I probably learned from his mother, I thought to myself, but nodded and said, "I totally agree with your opinion."

"It's fine if you agree, then you will also abide by the etiquette and self-cultivation that suits your status, and stop interacting with people who are not of status?" Edward glanced at John and said.

John's face turned pale, and he looked at me nervously.

Not only John, but everyone around me looked at me. At this time, my answer is very important, and it may affect the future social life.I could have made a joke and changed the subject easily, but I don't want to avoid compromise no matter what I did in my previous life.So not only did I not perfunctory them, but I seriously replied: "Please forgive me, forgive me for not being able to follow my orders. I think it is my freedom to associate with whoever I want, and others are not qualified to comment."

"Oh!" Edward's chubby face showed a frightened expression, as if he was offended, he looked me up and down, then looked at the people around him and said, "That's really a pity, since everyone has their own aspirations, I'm afraid we have to make corresponding choices, Mr. Constantine insists on doing this regardless of his status and decency, we have already advised him as friends, but unfortunately he is obsessed with his obsession, and there is nothing we can do about it."

Edward was the tallest student in our grade, and his words spread throughout the dormitories like an imperial decree. When I found out, John and I were already isolated together.

John said sorry to me: "I'm sorry Adam, I'm the one who got you down."

"Don't say that, we are friends, and there is no need to apologize between friends." I found that although John was born in a businessman, he was a very simple person.In my previous life, I was hurt by those people who looked like dogs on the surface but were sinister and evil behind the scenes, so I didn't care much about those hypocritical relationships.On the contrary, John told me all kinds of embarrassing things around him without reservation. Many things made people laugh, but he was very frank, and he was a good boy with a pure heart.

The trouble was that we were isolated, whether it was fencing lessons or social events, it was just the two of us.But John was naturally timid, and every time he took a fencing class, he felt like he had gone to the gate of hell, trembling nervously while holding the long hilt of his sword.

I helplessly spread my hands and said to him: "Dear Mr. John, in fencing class, you have to stretch the sword flat instead of holding it in your arms all the time. Do you think this is a long, golden Persian cat?"

John said in embarrassment: "Adam, I don't know why. Once someone pointed a sword at me, I couldn't move my whole body. I was especially afraid of the sharp point of the sword. Aren't you afraid when you are pointed at?"

I raised the sword and fiddled with the sharpened square head, feeling even more helpless.

"A coward also came to fencing lessons? I think he'd better go back and paint his paintings." Edward walked over, huddled together, and looked at us both with contempt.

As soon as John saw the young master, he hid nervously into the crowd, while I stood aside and watched him fencing.

Edward was wearing a white shirt and gray trousers. It was supposed to be a very flowing white shirt with lace sleeves, but for some reason it bulged like a rice ball on this chubby little prick.But to my surprise, there is an agile soul under his fat body.I saw him bowing to his opponent gracefully, then raised his sword, and struck out quickly, stabbing the opponent's fatal spot in a few strokes, even I couldn't help but applaud him.He was also very proud, raising his chin and looking at me provocatively.

"Mr. Constantine, would you like to have a discussion?" Edward said.

The last time I refuted his face in public, it seemed to have annoyed him, and this kid started to bother me when he had nothing to do.

To be honest, my fencing skills are only a little better than John's, and I can't stand in front of Edward. Of course I can refuse him, but it means losing my manliness, and I will be ridiculed at school, but Yingzhan is really not my opponent.

I had no choice but to bow down and say, "Mr. Femont is interested, so I will naturally try my best to accompany you. It's just that my fencing standard is low. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to enjoy yourself. Why don't you find someone else to practice with you."

"You should practice diligently if your level is poor, don't you think so? Or are you actually a coward?" Edward stared at me closely.

It seems that he is determined to make me make a fool of myself in public. If I let him vent my anger, I can avoid future troubles.

The other party showed a contemptuous smile, raised his sword and pointed it at me.

I immediately took a defensive posture.

When our eyes meet, the competition begins.

Edward's fencing skills were really extraordinary, and I was defeated by his cross sword on the neck almost immediately, and there were booing from the onlookers around me.But he didn't let me go, and planned to come to the second round. I also became serious and started to deal with him more carefully.After three consecutive blows, I was hit to the vitals by him again, and his strength was so great that I almost couldn't even hold the sword, and my arm was numb from the shock.By the third round, I dodged and failed to stand up, and fell to the ground in a very embarrassing situation.

Edward looked down at me, the sword in his hand was pointed at my throat.

"You can't even stand firmly, do you still want to hold a sword?" He said with a smile.

There were cheers all around. Among a group of children, a simple competition can create a hero and a bear. It seems that I am the bear today.

Edward finally put away his blade, and reached out to me very gentlemanly.

It doesn't feel good to be ridiculed by the crowd, and it's even worse to be pitied by him as a winner. I didn't expect that I would be bullied by a child as an adult. I can't help but lament that some children from noble families are naturally irritating. ability.

I took his hand and stood up, thanking him.

He narrowed his eyes and said triumphantly: "It turns out that Mr. Constantine also knows how to say thank you. I thought you didn't know what to do. But as a gentleman, we have to learn to be tolerant, so I asked you last time. You still have a chance to answer the question again, tell me, have you changed your mind?"

What a stubborn temper this kid is, I thought.

"No, sir, a gentleman has to learn to stand his ground," I said.

Edward restrained his smile, and said to me with a straight face: "I regret your stubbornness, and you will regret that you were rude to me today."

"I believe that a broad-minded person like your Excellency will not take your faux pas to heart." I said hastily.

"Hmph!" Edward raised his chin, turned and left.

John leaned over nervously: "What about Adam? He seems very dissatisfied with us."

"Again, he is the earl's son, not the earl himself, so there is nothing to be afraid of." I comforted him.

But I underestimated the tossing ability of bear children.

The next day John came to me crying and said, "Adam, I'm leaving Locke College."

"Why?" I asked him in surprise.

"Edward Fairmont told the dean that if he didn't kick me out, he would write to her mother to inform the school about the admission of businessmen's children. The dean was afraid of affecting his reputation in the upper class, so he talked to me. I What should I do? My father will definitely disappoint me." John cried miserably with a small face.

"Oh." I let out a meaningless exclamation, looking dull.

It's such an amazing development that I don't even know what to say.

"Uh...don't worry, just wait here, I'll go see him and see if there's any room for recovery." I patted John on the shoulder and walked out of the room.

Just past dinner time, the students gathered in the large living room downstairs for activities.

Some were playing cards, some were reading, some were chatting, Edward was sitting on a single sofa, surrounded by a group of teenagers, talking happily and laughing from time to time.

Seeing me walking towards them, they all stared at me with gloating smiles on their faces.

"What's the matter? Mr. Constantine." Edward raised his head and said to me indifferently.

"Mr. Fermont, may I ask you not to drive Mr. Martin out of school? He came to study with his family's expectations. If he leaves like this, it will be unfair to him and his family." I pleaded explain.

"I'm afraid you're mistaken. This is the wise decision of the dean. Letting people who are not worthy of this place leave is a responsible performance of the school and has nothing to do with me." Edward said, staring into my eyes.

"However, you threatened to write to your mother, and it is for this reason that the rector has decided..."

"I'm just telling my mother the truth. Is there something wrong with that?" Edward interrupted me with a very domineering tone.

I looked at the other party, and felt embarrassed in my heart. I have been perfunctory him because the other party is a child. He probably felt it, so he deliberately confronted me. If I want to save him, I must show sincerity.

"I'm sorry sir, I'm ashamed of my previous rudeness. If you ask me to do something to relieve your anger, please be frank. I will obey your orders." I said seriously.

"Can I ask you to do anything?" Edward said slowly.

The children around started booing and making a lot of noise. Some even suggested that I should run around the campus naked.

"As long as John can stay in school." I said sincerely.

Edward stared at me closely, I was a little flustered by his long and narrow eyes, and even lowered my eyes involuntarily.

After a long time, he finally said: "Then, you kneel down and lick my shoes."

At this time, our quarrel has attracted the attention of all the students. They put aside the things around them and gathered together. The surroundings became very quiet. It seemed that everyone was waiting for my answer.

I glared at him indignantly for a moment, this child was too much, but when I saw the contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, I seemed to feel the hint in his expression at this time.

Want to be a hero?That's all.

I was a poor person in my previous life, which doesn't mean that my life was poor and pitiful, but that I was pitiful in spirit.I am always compromising, compromising on everything, even my closest relatives have never mustered up the courage to defend, and in the end even my own life was involved. This time, I don't want to repeat the past path, let alone live up to the kindness the Lord's expectations of me.

Maybe John is just a dispensable classmate. If he leaves, I will soon forget him, but not now, his hope is on me, and I can't annihilate the hope of others without fighting for it.

Under the eyes of everyone, I knelt down, and Edward looked at me in surprise, as if he didn't expect that I would do such a humiliating thing for others, his whole body tensed up for a moment.

As I bent over his shoes, he jumped to his feet.

"What a farce." An old voice suddenly came, breaking the silence in the room.
