Era: Starting with the struggle to refuse being taken advantage of

Chapter 327 is all targeting me.

"That's enough. Do you think I can just walk into my own room?"

With a sharp shout, Luo Wenbin ignored Qi Xuan's disdain and walked straight into the room.

The stench, which had only been lingering outside the room, suddenly seemed to find a way in and filled the entire room.

Luo Wenbin, however, seemed to be used to it and did not feel anything was wrong. Instead, he strolled around the room leisurely, without even showing any intention of taking a shower.

In fact, although Qi Xuan seemed to dislike Luo Wenbin, that was only natural.

After all, he's not a dog, so how could he possibly like the stench emanating from Luo Wenbin?

In addition, he was willing to not only save dinner for Luo Wenbin, but also to help him get his toiletries, which can be considered as doing more than enough.

If Luo Wenbin simply follows his advice and washes himself properly outside before coming in, he shouldn't be disliked by everyone.

However, Qi Xuan's disdainful gesture wounded Luo Wenbin's useless pride, making him feel unfair and start to wallow in self-pity.

Why is it that, despite both of them stealing books, I receive such severe punishment, while these educated youth not only don't have to carry manure, but also only lose a year's chance to take the college entrance exam?
It was under this distorted mindset that Luo Wenbin deliberately wandered around the room, his body reeking of foul odor.

He also deliberately walked up to the other educated youths on several occasions, using some trivial pretext to disgust them with the stench emanating from his body.

At first, things were alright. The others, considering that Luo Wenbin had indeed taken on a big responsibility, was a roommate, and had pleaded for them before, ultimately chose to be patient.

However, Luo Wenbin showed no intention of going out to take a shower and kept wandering around the room. One of the educated youths, Su Yun, couldn't stand the stench emanating from Luo Wenbin, so he got up and opened the window of the educated youth settlement.

Normally, in summer when there are many mosquitoes, few people would open their windows to attract mosquitoes into their rooms.

However, Luo Wenbin's body odor was so strong that he had no choice but to get up and open the window.

Taking deep breaths of the fresh air outside the window, Su Yun finally couldn't help but complain:

“Brother Luo, I think what you just said is all trivial.”

"You need to go to the yard and take a bath now, that's the most important thing."

Faced with Su Yun's persuasion, Luo Wenbin frowned, instantly raising his voice eight octaves, and exclaimed:

"Are you disgusted with me?"

Faced with Luo Wenbin's self-righteous questioning, Su Yun felt it was somewhat absurd.

This is like seeing a mangy dog ​​on the street that has just eaten excrement. Not only is it disgusting and infested with pus and maggots, but it also tries to lick you with its tongue that has just eaten excrement.

You only showed a hint of disdain and moved away from it slightly, but it started barking loudly at you, demanding to know why you were disliking it.

Luo Wenbin's situation was even worse, since he could have easily removed most of the odor by taking a shower.

At least it wouldn't smell so awful, and it wouldn't even have some semi-dried excrement smeared everywhere.

But Luo Wenbin simply refused to do that, insisting on disgusting everyone in the room with his foul-smelling body.

Faced with Luo Wenbin's questioning, Qi Xuan frowned and advised:
"Brother Luo, you do smell a bit strong. I recommend you take a shower first."

"Go wash up first, and I'll bring your toiletries over in a bit."

Faced with the sharp gazes of the crowd, Luo Wenbin finally gave in, leaving behind the words "I'm going to take a shower first" before humiliatedly leaving the room.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Luo Wenbin had finally left.

They were all normal people, and they simply couldn't stand the stench emanating from Luo Wenbin.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Yun finally spoke first, saying:

"Although Luo Wenbin did take responsibility in this matter, shouldering the vast majority of the burden on his own."

"Even when he was being questioned by everyone, he pleaded for us all, but his behavior was really disgusting."

At this point, Su Yun blushed and said somewhat embarrassedly:
"I really can't take it anymore, what do you all think?"

The thought of having to live with a stinky person like Luo Wenbin every day, and even having to make the room stink so bad that it would attract flies and mosquitoes to hold a meeting, filled everyone with dread.

Even Qi Xuan, who was close to Luo Wenbin, couldn't say a good word for him at this time, since he had also been disgusted to the core.

Just then, a voice drifted from a corner of the room; it was Zhang Jinhu's voice, saying:

“Luo Wenbin has indeed done a lot for us, but don’t forget, this whole thing started with him.”

"If he hadn't lent us the stolen books and deliberately framed us, we wouldn't be unable to take this year's college entrance examination."

"Now that the truth has come out, Luo Wenbin can no longer distort the facts."

"Xia, the educated youth, originally intended to selflessly lend out all of his textbooks. If Luo Wenbin hadn't spoken up about Xia at the educated youth meeting, none of the subsequent events would have occurred."

"In addition to the book theft, he didn't mean any good by wanting us to be able to read books; he was clearly just trying to drag us down with him."

"If it weren't for his interference, we would probably already be studying Xia Zhiqing's textbooks and working hard for the college entrance examination."

Zhang Jinhu's words silenced everyone. Upon reflection, it seemed that the matter was indeed true.

If Luo Wenbin hadn't acted recklessly, how could they have lost their chance to take the college entrance examination for the first time?

After clarifying their thoughts, they would no longer be grateful to Luo Wenbin, since this whole thing started because of him, and it was only natural for him to plead for them.

They were actually resentful and bitter towards Luo Wenbin. If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have been branded with the bad reputation of a gang robbery.

Although the matter has been resolved, the reputation of a gang of educated youth in Wangjia Village who committed robbery will certainly remain in the surrounding area.

If someone were to come and inspect them, they might not be able to pass the inspection.

Thinking this, the faces of the group instantly turned ashen.

They felt like the dumbest pigs, having been tricked by Luo Wenbin, yet still grateful to him.

Ultimately, it was Su Yun's words that brought the discussion to a complete end, leading them to decide to work together to kick Luo Wenbin out of the room:
"Putting everything else aside, I just think... he really stinks."

"If I had to live with such a nasty person every day, I think I would go crazy sooner or later."

It had nothing to do with morality or grudges; it was just the simplest physiological reaction, yet everyone in the room couldn't help but nod in agreement.

They exchanged a glance, seeing resistance in each other's eyes, and a shared thought arose in their minds: they must report to Captain Wang tomorrow and have Luo Wenbin kicked out of the room. However, the people inside, engrossed in their discussion, failed to notice that there was no sound of water being flushed coming from the courtyard.

It turned out that Luo Wenbin had just arrived in the yard, had just rinsed himself with a basin of cold water, and then turned around and walked back into the room.

The cold water cooled his anger considerably, and he became more rational.

That's why he realized that he was going to be living with these roommates for a long time, so he couldn't afford to offend them now.

Putting everything else aside, the dinner that Qi Xuan saved for him was enough to save his life.

Luo Wenbin simply couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be if, after a hard day's work, he couldn't even get a bite to eat.

Luo Wenbin never dreamed that when he turned around, he would hear such a grand drama, a grand drama that everyone had planned to target him.

The anger that had just been extinguished by the cold water instantly flared up again. Luo Wenbin wanted to rush in and question his roommates about why they were so shameless, disregarding their years of friendship as educated youth to target him.

However, Zhang Jinhu's words were all true, leaving Luo Wenbin with no way to refute them. In addition, the other side had more people and greater power, so he could only swallow his humiliation in the end.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get, the more I think about it when I step back, the more I lose!
Although he was taking a shower, the icy cold water could no longer extinguish the anger in Luo Wenbin's heart.

However, he was just a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. He didn't dare to do anything to the male educated youth in his room, but instead turned his attention to the room where Xia Mingyue was.

Evil arises from the heart!
Luo Wenbin put down the basin in his hand and walked straight towards Xia Mingyue's room.

With a forceful push, they discovered that the room door was locked from the inside and could not be opened at all.

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Wenbin gently knocked on the door and said in a high-pitched voice:
"Xia Zhiqing, I have something very important to tell you. Please open the door for me."

Xia Mingyue was reading a book in the room when she unexpectedly heard a knock on the door. She quickly got up and went to the door.

But instead of opening the door, she cautiously inquired:

"Who are you, and what do you want with me?"

"It's too late now, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Faced with Xia Mingyue's question, Luo Wenbin couldn't think of a reason why she would open the door for him in the middle of the night, and could only grunt:

"Okay, then I'll come find you again tomorrow."

Returning to the well, he let the icy water pour over his head, but nothing could quell the anger in Luo Wenbin's heart.

Just then, Qi Xuan came out with Luo Wenbin's toiletries, handed them over with a smile, and said:

"Brother Luo, these are yours."

"Wash yourself thoroughly, make sure you're clean. If you don't have enough soap, I can lend you one."

Although it was just a simple expression of concern, Luo Wenbin, preconceived notions, instantly felt that Qi Xuan was there to mock him, and immediately shouted in a deep voice:

"My affairs are none of your business, Qi Xuan. You're meddling a bit too much."

"I'll wash it clean if I want to, and I won't wash it clean if I don't want to."

Qi Xuan initially felt that it was a bit unfair for everyone to drive Luo Wenbin away. He had clearly meant well by helping and was willing to lend the soap, but he was yelled at for no reason. All his pity vanished instantly.

He immediately ignored Luo Wenbin, leaving only the words, "You can shower for as long as you want, it's none of my business," before returning to his room.

After Luo Wenbin is expelled, who the hell will care whether he's clean or not? It won't affect us anyway.

Alright, you're all targeting me after all, you're not even bothering to pretend anymore!

Luo Wenbin was filled with rage and let the icy cold water be poured over him.

What bothered him most was that he couldn't do anything to those who had wronged him, and he almost suffered internal injuries from anger.

Just as Luo Wenbin was still furious, his sharp eyes suddenly caught sight of the firewood piled up next to Xia Mingyue's room.

Because Xia Mingyue's room is close to the kitchen, some firewood that couldn't fit was piled up in the corner of her room.

In dry weather, it's quite normal for a fire to start accidentally.

There was no chance of burning Xia Mingyue alive, but the books in her room, those textbooks that represented the source of evil, would definitely not be spared.

Thinking this, Luo Wenbin's lips curled into a handsome smile. He felt that he had finally come up with a way to get revenge, and he felt much happier.

However, Xia Mingyue was not asleep at this time, so even if a fire started, it could be easily extinguished before it was fully ignited, which was not the best time for arson.

We'll have to wait, and wait a little longer.

After everyone has fallen asleep, that will be the best time to do great things.

With that thought in mind, Luo Wenbin lost all interest in taking a shower. He quickly rinsed off and hurriedly got ready to return to his room.

Go to sleep early, go to sleep quickly, so you can get the important things done later!
Luo Wenbin's idea was good, but little did he know that his strange behavior of going to Xia Mingyue's room was completely seen by Song Sixi through the crack in the door.

At first, Song Sixi thought Wang Chengpeng was making a mountain out of a molehill when he reminded him.

Having stayed in the educated youth settlement for so long, I never felt that there were bad people among them.

However, things were slapping Song Sixi in the face. First, he was targeted for no reason, and then Luo Wenbin's strange behavior showed that things were developing exactly as Wang Chengpeng had predicted.

After seeing Luo Wenbin finally return to his room, Song Sixi breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was also thinking about a question—what should she do?
Although he discovered that Luo Wenbin might have problems, he did not have any relevant evidence and was still only speculating.

In this situation, he was really at a loss.

Ordering Luo Wenbin to be arrested? That's really not very realistic.

Just when Song Sixi was at a loss, he suddenly remembered Wang Chengpeng's advice:

"If you discover any signs of trouble, don't hesitate to keep an eye on things, and I'll cover for you."

"Putting everything else aside, this is a matter of life and death, and we can't take it too seriously."

He didn't take those words to heart at the time, but little did he know that they would become a guiding light for him when he was lost.
