Chapter 1: Expelled student

By Mason Vale · 2337 words

At the end of 2026, a third-rate junior college in Xicang City, Beihe Province ushered in the annual drop-out season. Why is it called the drop-out season? Because these students who were forced to drop out were kicked out by the school. Kai Wei, a sophomore, was one of the students kicked out.

In 2026, one bad screenshot could outrun the truth before anyone even unlocked their phone.

Kai Wei is a follow-up student of this school. What is a follow-up student is that he has not been admitted to this school. However, in order to increase income, the school recruits a group of high school graduates who have not been admitted anywhere. After attending classes for two years, they must pass our school's exam to become a real student of our school and have the opportunity to graduate. Kai Wei is such a student, but he was not admitted not because of his low scores, but because his application was too high.

In desperation, Kai Wei entered this school with heavy steps and chose an accounting major. Because he was good at mathematics, he thought accounting was all about arithmetic, and learning this would get twice the result with half the effort. However, after applying, I heard most people say: Accounting is a liberal arts major.

Liberal arts was the subject of liberal arts, and he could not fall behind if he studied hard, so he studied professional courses desperately so that he could find a good job in the future.

I don’t know who I heard from, saying that college students who don’t skip classes are not good college students. They are dead-headed, nerds, and will have no future. So Kai Wei joined the gang that skips classes because he doesn’t want to have no future.

From then on, Kai Wei only took professional courses. In other courses, he either fell asleep or went to the e-sports hall, and ultimately failed the class one after another.

If you fail, you will have to take the make-up exam. After all, this was the case in the last semester. Those who failed the exam will be copied if they take the make-up exam. Kai Wei was proud of himself with this mentality, but a few days later he was hit by a bolt from the blue and was very confused.

The school issued a push notification: All students who failed the exam will be deemed not to have been admitted to our school. Please pack your luggage as soon as possible and leave school within a week. Wish you: good luck in your work

"Good luck, you mother." This was Kai Wei's first sentence after seeing the push notification from the campus system. He thought to himself, didn't the senior who came to my high school to recruit students say that he could graduate even without taking the exam? What was that senior's name? Well, Lu Wanfa, don't let me hang you up and give you ten thousand haircuts next time I see you.

There were eight students in Dormitory No. 316 where Kai Wei stayed, all of whom were students in the same class. Only a guy named Zane Zheng passed the exam. The other six, like Kai Wei, packed up their bags in depression.

That day, Kai Wei took heavy steps to see off six roommates one after another.

Different from the graduation season, this time there is no ceremony or party, but only a sigh, two lines of tears, and three gulps of bitter water.

Kai Wei's appearance is above average. He has big eyes, double eyelids, and a Chinese-shaped face. He looks very resolute. He has slightly dark skin and looks very strong. He belongs to the traditional handsome type. However, in today's era of "girly" aesthetics, he does not seem to be popular with girls. Nowadays, people like supple skin, a tapered face, and a small body. Nothing else can be changed, so Kai Wei had to grow his hair long to make his face look less "Chinese".

So after attending school for a year and a half, not to mention holding hands with girls, there were no girls who even looked at him. Therefore, after he sent the others away, he felt desolate: Who will send me away? It would be great if there was a girl who could give me some warmth.

Kai Wei bought a bottle of Red Star Erguotou and walked back to the dormitory in a hurry. The days are short in winter, so when he walked into the dormitory, the lights were already on. Hey, Zane Zheng didn’t go out on a date

In the empty dormitory, there is a person standing, a slim, lonely figure with his hands in his pockets, facing the window.

"Brother Dong," Kai Wei shouted in surprise, "Didn't you leave in the morning or did I send you off?"

Brother Dong’s name was Dylan Pi. Because there was a popular online novel called How to Make a Badass at the time, the protagonist Xie Wendong, the eldest brother, was very stylish and responded to a hundred calls, so he was called Brother Dong. Therefore, Dylan Pi also let everyone call him that out of worship and imitation of his idol.

Dylan Pi is very handsome, about the same height as Kai Wei, 1.75 meters, but thinner than Kai Wei. Of course, Kai Wei is not fat either, but he looks stronger compared to this Dong brother.

Dylan Pi yawned, stretched, and turned around: "If you go back like this, you will be beaten to death by my parents."

"Then you can't always hide. Someone else will move in in a few days." After Kai Wei said this, he started to worry about himself, because he didn't dare to tell his family about it. Thinking about how his family had borrowed a lot of money to support him in this poor school, he actually squandered most of the money on the e-sports stadium just for fun. Now that I can’t graduate, how can I have the face to go back and see my parents?

"Hey, don't think so much." Dylan Pi saw Kai Wei's thoughts and comforted: "It's not like you have to go to school to be successful. Besides, it's a crappy school like ours. It doesn't make any difference whether you go to it or not. Just think of it as saving money."

Kai Wei remained silent and unscrewed the wine bottle. For some reason, he couldn't drink it.

"Hi" Dylan Pi came over, grabbed the bottle, and blew it into his mouth, causing him to choke and cough repeatedly.

Kai Wei hurriedly slapped him on the back, "Don't be brave if you can't drink. Brother Dong in the villain didn't say how much he drank."

"Brother!" Dylan Pi stopped coughing and slapped Kai Wei on the back: "Brother Xindong, De Shengsheng, do you know what Brother Dong's life goal is?"

"What is it"

"Standing on the clouds," Dylan Pi said seriously.

"Oh, you are a magic horse," Kai Wei teased.

"Hey, Brother Dong, I'm not going to tell lies. If you believe me, just follow me and I will lead you to success." Dylan Pi puffed out his chest and looked upright.

"How come we have a harmonious society now? You look stupid at the bad guys."

"How can we win the world if we don't fight? Let's find a loan shark and work as a thug. We will slowly climb up the ladder and wait until we are prosperous before we tell our parents about not graduating." Dylan Pi spat and said narcissistically, and suddenly his phone rang.

"I rely on my uncle's phone number," Dylan Pi said nervously.

"That's the uncle who is a teacher in this school."

"Yes, he is a teacher. He can definitely find out my test scores, so he must tell my parents." Dylan Pi paced back and forth anxiously, and finally held Kai Wei's hand: "Brother, I'm sorry. Brother Dong has to go back and apologize to his parents first. I can't take you to conquer the world for the time being, but I will definitely take you forward in the future." After that, he put on his down jacket and ran out of the dormitory.

Although Dylan Pi's big words just now seemed like farts to Kai Wei, when he left, Kai Wei felt even more helpless. No matter whether he was bragging, he at least had some hope in his heart. Now

Boom, the door was pushed open again. Dylan Pi ran back again, rummaging through things in the dormitory anxiously.

"What are you looking for?" Kai Wei asked.

Dylan Pi didn't answer and ran to the balcony to get a sheet to dry.

"What are you doing with Ziliang's sheets?"

Dylan Pi picked up the broom behind the door again, said, "Go take revenge," then opened the door and ran out.

Kai Wei was afraid that he was in danger, so he chased him.

I ran downstairs, turned right, and saw a fat figure walking forward swaggeringly.

Lu Wanfa Kai immediately understood what Dylan Pi was going to do. Most of the students in the school were deceived by the president of the student union.

"Give me the sheets and I'll cover him." With that said, Kai Wei took the sheets from Dylan Pi's hand.

As Lu Wanfa approached, Kai Wei and Dylan Pi slowed down their steps and quickly followed up with a few steps.

Hu Kai unfolded the sheets, rushed forward, and covered Lu Wanfa's head. He gripped the corners with both hands to prevent him from breaking away.

Dylan Pi is a famous student gangster who is good at fighting. He picked up the lump on the broom and swiped it at the spot where Lu Wan's face was hairy.

"Ah" screamed like a pig.

Dylan Pi hit his leg hard again.

There was another scream, and Lu Wanfa knelt on the ground. Kai Wei directly tied a button on the bed sheet, stood up and kicked Lu Wanfa hard.

Dylan Pi didn't stop holding the broom in his hand, and hit Lu Wanfa with a stick one after another. The sound was so loud that he cried for help.

Lu Wanfa's ghostly screams attracted other students. Kai Wei was worried about making things worse, so he picked up Dylan Pi, who was still smoking, dropped the crime tools and ran away from the scene.

Then, the two parted ways, Dylan Pi disappeared, and Kai Wei returned to the dormitory.

What should I do when I go back to my hometown in Tangcheng and apologize to my parents like Dylan Pi? My parents are honest people and adopt an open-minded approach to discipline me. I will definitely not suffer physical pain when I go back. However, I am the support of my whole family and everyone in the village knows me. I went to a third-rate college, and I was waiting to see how exciting it would be for me to find a job in the future. My parents had already been under tremendous pressure to support me in my studies, but they still had a little hope for me. Now that I go back, how can my parents raise their heads in the village? And this family

Kai Wei didn't dare to think about it anymore. He wiped his tears, coughed twice, spit hard, took out his phone and made a call: "Lao Peng, we are on winter vacation. I will go to Fenghai City to visit you tomorrow. Remember to pick me up."

He called home again: "Mom, I will go back on the Chinese New Year day and want to go to Fenghai City to find Lao Peng, and find a job by the way."

My mother's kind words came over the phone: "Come back and the Chinese New Year will be over in about twenty days. It's still early for you to graduate. There's no need to rush to find a job now."

"No, I want to see the world in advance." Kai Wei choked up, and coughed to cover up.

"Okay, you don't have much money. Let your dad send you a few hundred from the bank in town tomorrow."

"No, no, I still have a thousand dollars. Then I'll work for a few days to earn some money. That's enough. I have to read a book."

After hanging up the phone, Kai Wei slapped himself hard. He was reading books, but he sold them as scrap paper during the day.

Fenghai City is the most developed city in China. It is also the city with the fastest pace of life and the most fierce competition. If you are successful, you can soar into the sky, but if you are not successful, you can fall into hell.

Kai Wei ran to the window and opened it. The bone-chilling cold wind blew in and shocked him. However, he was still not afraid of the cold. He also opened the other half of the window and shouted passionately outside: "When I succeed and become famous, I will return to you people who look down on me. Look at my face."

"Fuck!" Kai Wei suddenly squatted down with his head in his hands. Three seconds later, a stone flew into the dormitory. Immediately afterwards, there was a steady sound of breaking glass from outside the dormitory, and the downstairs was full of yelling and cursing. Hearing the yelling, he knew that some students who had been expelled from the school like him were dissatisfied with the school's behavior, so they came to smash the school windows.

What makes Kai Wei curious is that in the dark sky, he didn't see clearly until the stone flew in front of him, and then subconsciously avoided it. Why did he hide for three seconds before the stone flew in? Was it because the stone slowed down or that he had seen the future in advance?
