Crown of Silence

While the two were devouring their food, someone knocked on the table softly.

Ye Qingxuan turned around and saw a strange young man.

The thin young man has a pair of slender hands, which look stable and firm. He was wearing a black dress with no decorations on the pitch-black dress, as if he was going to a funeral. But this is a college, and there will be no funerals that students are required to attend, so this outfit makes people feel out of place.

After he appeared, the temperature in the entire restaurant dropped, and the vague noise was also lowered, and everyone retreated away.

"Are you the Oriental guy recently?" He looked at the young man carefully.

Ye Qingxuan nodded: "It's me."

"I'm Richard."

He stretched out his hand and shook it with Ye Qingxuan. The touch of his hand was iron-cold. He pointed to his clothes, his expression still calm, "Student Union, Executive Office. You definitely don't like me wearing black clothes."

Under the table, Charles gave him a quiet kick to signal him to be more serious.

Ye Qingxuan is of course serious, he knows what the enforcement office does.

If the 700 school rules in the college are legal regulations, the Enforcement Office of the Student Union is the department that enforces these school rules. This group of people has never been popular among students, because wearing black clothes means they are on the opposite side of all students.

They will keep a close eye on anyone who intends to violate school rules, and then catch him the moment he hits the limit and throw him into a solitary room.

Last semester, the chief who was expelled for smoking datura was one of the masterpieces of the executive department.

For several years, the school committee has insisted on taking back the enforcement power of school rules from the Enforcement Office, but has been blocked by the principal. The execution office is still the same as before.

Unkind, stubborn, ignorant, disinterested, and not allowing anyone to interfere in his own affairs.

In just five days of school, more than a dozen freshmen have already experienced the solitary confinement room. Naturally, Ye Qingxuan did not want to add one more to the detention number at the enforcement office.

So, caution is the best approach.

As if he was used to seeing those suddenly cautious faces, Richard didn't care. He just put a notice on the table and said gently:

"This is a notice issued by the school committee. The tuition deferment period is almost over. Is the other student named Bai Xi here? You need to pay the tuition within two days."

Ye Qingxuan was stunned.

Ciel's expression suddenly changed:

——The dirty trick of those guys finally came.

-

As the only senior, Charles certainly knew that Ye Qingxuan's tuition fees had not yet been paid, and he helped Ye Qingxuan go through the postponement procedures.

But there was still a month left, but why did it suddenly come to this time earlier?

Xia Er knew Ye Qingxuan's financial situation better than him. This guy's pockets were whiter and cleaner than his hair. After purchasing the necessary supplies these days, only a dozen pounds are left.

Even this meal was invited by Ciel.

Not to mention paying tuition?

The tuition fees of the college have always been high. The annual price of 60,000 pounds is enough to buy a small house in the center of Avalon! Now he was suddenly asked to hand over his and Bai Xi's tuition fees, which was like driving them both out of the academy.

"etc."

Charles held down the young man who was about to speak and looked up at him: "Isn't it originally a month?"

"The incident you caused on the first day of school caused the school committee to reconsider the application for tuition deferral." Richard responded coldly: "The power of the nobles is very powerful. Many people don't like Ye Qingxuan's attitude very much."

"Attitude?" Ye Qingxuan frowned.

Richard nodded with a cold expression: "I knew the first time I saw you that you are the kind of person who is very good at causing trouble. Don't rush to talk yet - you have to know: being provoked by others is also a kind of trouble."

"Should I apologize for this?" Ye Qingxuan's face was expressionless.

"My younger brother is also in the first grade. He was implicated by you." Richard pointed to his calf: "I got hit here and I'm still not up yet."

Ye Qingxuan was stunned. After a long time, he sighed softly: "I'm sorry. This was not my intention."

"He told me it was the best fight he's had in years."

Richard shook his head: "So I don't care."

Ye Qingxuan and Xia Er were both stunned and speechless. They couldn't adapt to this guy's logic.

"Now that the paperwork has been brought, this matter has nothing to do with me."

Richard nodded, but looked at Charles: "Also, many people have complained to the people you owe money to. If this continues, Abraham will not be able to protect you.

Charles's expression changed, and the smile on his face seemed to have solidified. After a long time, it turned into helplessness: "Research requires investment. They have lost money. There is no reason to ask me to pay back the money, right?"

"You can stick to your ideas."

Richard couldn't comment and looked at Ye Qingxuan: "I heard that you confronted Teacher Bain about school rules on the first day of school?"

"kindness."

He nodded and asked: "Our minister likes your style very much. Are you interested in joining the execution department?"

Ye Qingxuan was stupid again. He felt that his brain circuit was a little weak. Under the table, Charles was kicking his thigh wildly, gesturing for him to agree quickly, but he still hesitated.

Finally, he shook his head: "Sorry, I'm afraid I don't have time."

"oh."

It was not a pity that Richard turned and left.

Ye Qingxuan watched him walk out of the restaurant and couldn't help but sigh: "This guy is so weird."

"What the hell is weird about him? Are you crazy?"

Charles couldn't help but cover his face: "Such a good opportunity to cling to someone, but you missed it. If you join the executive department, I can get away with it if I get caught drinking in the future! Uh, okay, let's not talk about this, but what about your tuition!"

Perhaps realizing that his voice was too loud, he lowered his voice and said seriously: "The tuition can't be delayed! Two days! Even if you kill yourself, you can't get so much money!"

Ye Qingxuan was stunned and scratched his head: "Yeah, that's a problem too."

"It's your sister too, obviously!"

He grabbed his hair, a little crazy, counted on his fingers and nodded: "The teacher can lend you some money temporarily, not much, about 20,000.

I can get 5,000 here, but I can introduce you to borrow some money. With your credit, you can borrow about 30,000. Bai Xi has no choice but to leave school temporarily. You can ask her to apply for a government student loan as soon as possible. It should be available next year..."

"Can't get the money?"

A sneering voice came from behind, making Charles' expression ugly.

At some point, the guy who challenged Edmund - Bart stood near them. He looked down at the faces of the two people and couldn't help whistling.

"Looking at your sad faces, how can I say it? It's really interesting."

He was amazed: "For such a little money, you become like a dizzy duck." At this point, he also imitated the duck's "quack" twice, and the mockery was beyond words.

"Do you have something to do?"

Ye Qingxuan glanced at him: "If you have nothing to do, go away."

"Tsk tsk, it's really unfriendly, but it's natural that the black necks in the downtown area don't know etiquette."

Bart sighed pretentiously, as if he was deliberately provoking trouble. He pulled a chair and sat next to him. He stretched out his fingers to wipe the table, and his expression became disgusted:

"If you have nothing to do, I don't want to come to a place like this that smells like a ditch. Let's make it short."

Ye Qingxuan remained silent, just looking at him coldly. That look reminded Bart of his eyes when he held the murder weapon in his hand, cold and silent, as if it was snowing.

Bart was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but snorted coldly. You are still stubborn now, let's see how long you can be proud?

"Edmund told me that if you are willing to apologize in the public class next week, he can consider forgiving you and letting you go." Bart paused, and a teasing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The apology is the kind of kneeling, you understand?"

"Really?"

Ye Qingxuan did not respond, but just said: "Well, if he is willing to kneel down and apologize to me, I can also consider letting him go."

The cold voice fell into Bart's ears, making his sneer solidify, and gradually turned into a hideous: "Don't be ungrateful. I will bring this sentence to you in its entirety."

"Why not let him come himself next time." Ye Qingxuan suggested sincerely: "After all, I don't carry bricks on my body all the time."

"Inferior people are inferior people, you figure out who you are. Want the Adrian family to look at you straight in the eye? You are not worthy!"

As he said, Bart glanced at Charles, "Besides, you are involved with this kind of college shame every day, and I think the time for you to embarrass the college is coming soon."

Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, but Charles's face changed.

His expression made Bart understand something, and his smile turned vicious, "So that's it? You haven't told him anything yet."

"It's none of your business." Charles responded coldly.

"It's okay, I understand. Are you afraid that he will know that you are a waste?"

Bart smiled strangely and looked at Charles: "Although this is our first meeting, I have heard about it. The legendary genius who went from apprentice level to rhythm level in one month, but was stuck at rhythm level for more than ten years, and has been held back until now... Not even a musician!

After so many years, you still shamelessly stay in the academy, don't you feel ashamed?"

Charles was silent, and the smile on his mouth gradually collapsed.

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

Bart became more and more proud: "Don't forget, you still..."

Bang!

There was a slight sound on the table, and a silver light flashed.

Bart's voice was interrupted. He looked down in surprise and was stunned.

He saw the boy's clenched fist slowly loosen, and a fork trembled on the table.

But the fork was stuck between his fingers! When it vibrated, his fingertips felt the coldness of the metal, the remaining pepper, and the melted salt!

"Since this is the first time we meet, .ands. If I didn't introduce him to you, you shouldn't talk to him without permission."

Ye Qingxuan told him softly, "Not only is this impolite, it's also uneducated, do you understand?"

But Bart couldn't hear it at all, and there was only the shadow of the fork in his eyes.

That fork! That fork! That fork!

The vibrating silver light kept flashing in his pupils, and he finally reacted, staggering back, and almost falling to the ground. His expression changed, from rage to iron blue to shame and red, and finally to fear and pale:

"You, you dare to do it?"

"Why not? I still have a table knife here."

Ye Qingxuan looked down at the metal in his hand, the knife spinning and jumping at his fingertips, and suddenly paused: "I just don't know if it is worthy of you to look at it."

"You will regret it, I promise."

Bart gritted his teeth, squeezed out these words from his teeth, and left angrily.

-

Watching him walk out of the door, Ye Qingxuan lowered his head and pulled the fork off the table and put it back on the plate: "What day is it today?"

"August 17." Charles replied listlessly.

"Oh, that should be about the same."

Ye Qingxuan nodded, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and stood up: "Let's go."

Charles was stunned: "Where to go?"

"To get some money, pay tuition, and help you pay the interest on the loan shark."
