Chapter 312: 150 Pantheon and Containment Item_2
"Later, he entered one of the most renowned institutions, where he had to become the most outstanding one among over three thousand students, under the guidance of wolfish thinking, all the students became competitors."
"Even the teachers would directly utter that famous line, 'Use higher scores to defeat your enemies. Use the knowledge points they haven't learned to overcome them.'"
"Perhaps in that nation, from a long-term perspective, this is indeed correct, but the world is always multifaceted, and the moment you make a choice, you must bear the loss of another kind."
"Wearing the school uniform, they received the admiring looks of adults and children alike, because that uniform signified that they were the elite of their peers."
"But perhaps deep down, they also envied those other children who had a normal childhood."
"Already a genius, why live a life less happy than normal people? This became Fang Xuan's inner confusion."
"His parents were tycoons in the business world, to them, Fang Xuan was more like a billboard. This billboard couldn't have any dust."
"Having never felt warmth at school, he always felt oppressed at home."
"Perhaps only when eating roasted sweet potatoes, he would feel that the old man's smile was warm, like in 'Painter Fang Xuan's' artworks, one of the very few things given color."
"The first time he came across comics, he realized that those lines could also construct such thrilling stories."
"He would also learn about the lives of regular people through the internet, sometimes feeling... his purpose of existence was to live in his parents' mouths."
"To become an item worth their bragging."
"He lived in a tower-like cage, the whole world was full of monsters, devoid of any of his kind."
"Only comic book stores, internet cafes, seemed like a new world where he could rest for a moment."
"Of course, reaching the age of rebellion, he naturally harbored other thoughts, but in a world that revolved solely around grades, many things were overlooked. Such as sexuality."
"Perhaps due to professional integrity, although Fang Xuan mostly encountered the hard side of human nature, a young English teacher who knew Fang Xuan's real family background treated Fang Xuan with particular gentleness."
"If Fang Xuan's life just continued this way, it wouldn't be very interesting, nothing but a deformed world in the eyes of a genius, his only choice would be to live a conventional life. Such a person, isn't worth my attention."
"But his world view was soon trampled upon, with the arrival of that incident. The psychological growth curve of this character started to undergo interesting changes."
"As always, his parents, two strong-willed business elites, would often argue. That place called home, in fact, only felt like his own when he was wearing headphones, removing them, he would always hear either business talks or his parents' disputes."
"So one day, even though it was the start of the holidays, and the whole school was preparing to go back, Fang Xuan didn't go home. And in that moment when the office light, which shouldn't have been on, suddenly lit up, he stumbled upon a scene he could never forget."
"In a sense, he was a precocious child, as if his inner fantasies about certain things were about that teacher."
"To understand the world of adults, he went to the comic book store and started flipping through stuff he shouldn't have, choosing female characters from the covers, all of a certain style."
"A boy's naivety, coupled with the teacher's deliberate gentleness, gave him a complete shape of his desire for the opposite sex."
"But he never imagined that fate did not plan for him to complete an albeit dull yet tranquil childhood."
"What kind of picture was it? In this vast tapestry, the only character with a normal face and a gentle demeanor, suddenly, nothing remained."
(Due to review issues, the content here is missing about a few hundred words, and I can't disclose what is missing. Everyone can guess for themselves, but cuts had to be made. If it seems incoherent, please excuse me, I'm very helpless too.)
"From that moment on, Fang Xuan's life truly began to get interesting."
"He completely died, and then lived thoroughly."
"What's that saying? Other than killing the witness, the safest way to keep a secret is to invite the witness to participate."
"Fang Xuan couldn't resist the temptation. That day, he felt as if he were entwined in those alluring fragrances of hair and stockings, he bumped into a secret, and merged into that secret."
"But the nightmare started."
"After putting on headphones, even his own world was no longer pure, always afraid to think back to what happened that day."
"The young, beautiful teacher with a mature air said:
'This is our secret between us. Even though being exposed, I would lose my job, but with my looks, I'm not lacking work opportunities, and teaching was never my main profession. After all, how much is it worth?'"
"'Fang Xuan, you don't want your mom and dad to know what happened today, right? They would be very disappointed, wouldn't they? Just imagine their faces if they knew all about it.'"
"These words were like the devil's whispers. Like some sort of alien plant that took root, blossoming throughout Fang Xuan's inner world."
