Chapter 71 I Know Your Secret

Academician Lin knew something about Xu Qingbai's character. Since he said so, he would naturally do so.

He walked back to the desk and sat down, waved at Xu Qingbai, and said reluctantly, "Go now, and let's stop destroying the painting."

"Thank you for your generosity, Academician. However, could you please let someone help untie the student first?" Xu Qingbai asked calmly.

Academician Lin looked at Xu Qingbai with resentment again and shouted to the outside of the door, "Someone come here."

Two servants came in upon hearing the noise.

"Untie him and let him go." Academician Lin ordered impatiently.

After the rope on his body fell to the ground, Xu Qingbai bowed politely to Academician Lin and said, "Student, take your leave."

Academician Lin almost gritted his teeth as he watched Xu Qingbai leave.

He has lived for most of his life, but now he is being controlled by a young student.

But for some reason, he actually saw a hint of nobility in Xu Qingbai's back.

Academician Lin rubbed his eyes and felt that he must have seen it wrong.

He was just an ugly student who was not liked by his parents. How could he have any air of dignity?

After Xu Qingbai walked out of Academician Zhou's room, he unconsciously touched the scar on his face.

If it weren't for this scar, he wouldn't have discovered Academician Lin's special hobby.

There are two bathing pools in Fanglan Academy, namely the North Bathing Pool and the South Bathing Pool.

The south bathing pool is for students under ten years old, and the north bathing pool is for students over ten years old.

Both bathrooms are open at You time and closed after half of Xu time.

Because of the ugly scar on Xu Qingbai's face, he was ostracized by students of the same age as soon as he entered the academy. Even when taking a bath, everyone refused to take a bath with him, fearing that the scar on his face would be contagious.

Therefore, Xu Qingbai usually goes to the Dongzhai Bathhouse to bathe at the hour of Xu.

Because at that time, students of the same age had already finished bathing and returned to their own dormitories.

Until that day, when he went to Dongzhai Bathhouse early for other things.

It was accidentally discovered that Academician Lin was hiding behind the plum-orchid screen on the side of the bath, peeking at the young students bathing, and even rubbing his face with the students' underwear.

Out of curiosity, he went there several times and calculated the time, and every time he saw Academician Lin hiding behind the screen and peeking.

He was just a child at the time and did not understand why Academician Lin did that. He just thought that Academician Lin's behavior was very strange.

But when he grew up a little, he gradually realized that Academician Lin was actually a pedophile, and his pedophile was boys.

This discovery made him feel terribly cold.

In fact, when Xu Qingbai first entered the academy, he felt strange. There were not many students in Fanglan Academy, so why did they build two bathing pools and use them according to age?

Later, he learned from other students that the bathing pool was divided into two parts because older students had bullied younger students many times in the bathing pool, in order to avoid bullying of younger students.

If it weren't for that unexpected discovery, he would have almost believed it.

He wanted to tell the other children in the academy, but before he could get close to those students, they insulted and drove him away.

He wanted to report to the police, but he was still a child and no one believed what he said.

Besides, what if I believed it?
Academician Lin did not harm those children and his actions did not constitute a crime.

Later, when he grew up a little and was able to go to the north bathing pool to bathe, he never went into the south bathing pool again. It is not known whether Academician Lin's peeking behavior continued.

It was not until he decided to completely break free from Yu Yue'er's control that he secretly followed Academician Lin several times and discovered that he still had the habit of peeking.

Therefore, he devised a plan to use Academician Lin to help him get rid of Yu Yue'er completely. Then, through this secret, he successfully escaped from Academician Lin.

He knew how important reputation was to Academician Lin and was sure that he would not dare to gamble.

As it turned out, he won the bet.

When Xu Qingbai passed by the dormitory on the west side, he saw several young students who had just enrolled.

When those students saw Xu Qingbai's appearance, they all showed expressions of disgust in their eyes.

Even when Xu Qingbai was about to approach them, they quickly dodged away, as if they were afraid of getting contaminated by something.

Xu Qingbai just pretended these people didn't exist and walked over as usual.

However, he still hoped that after this incident, Academician Lin would be more restrained and not peek at young students bathing again.

Otherwise, he would have to let the world know this little secret of Academician Lin.

In the evening, Xu Jinhuai went to Yu Yueer's place.

The two false starts were such a huge blow to him that he was listless the whole day long. Even when he was handling official business in the Ministry of Industry, he was absent-minded and made many mistakes.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, he did not say a few words to Yu Yue'er. After having some dinner casually, he asked Yu Yue'er to help him undress and go to bed.

Although Yu Yue'er noticed Xu Jinhuai's coldness, she was not angry at all because she was in a particularly good mood today.

After all, she wrote the letter of severance with her own hands, and openly drove the evil creature Xu Qingbai out of the house. From now on, she would no longer have to raise a son for Princess Chaoyang.

Princess Chaoyang would never have imagined that her eldest son would become an ugly orphan burdened with debts.

If Xu Qingbai could not pay back the fifty thousand taels of silver, his end would surely be miserable.

Thinking of this, the smile on Yu Yue'er's face deepened.

After she asked the maid to help her undress, she went straight into Xu Jinhuai's arms.

"What's wrong with you today, husband? Why do you look so sad? Have you encountered any difficulties?" Yu Yue'er asked softly.

Xu Jinhuai was very annoyed and did not put his arm around Yu Yue'er's waist as usual. Instead, he stared at the bed curtain in a daze.

Yu Yue'er raised her head slightly, and what came into her sight was Xu Jinhuai's sexy Adam's apple and handsome jaw.

She felt her heartbeat quicken and couldn't help but put her hand into Xu Jinhuai's underwear.

Xu Jinhuai grabbed her hand impatiently, "Yue'er, stop making trouble. I'm very upset today."

Although Yu Yue'er was a little disappointed, at least Xu Jinhuai was willing to talk to her, so she asked again: "What happened that made my husband so upset?"

Xu Jinhuai sighed heavily, "I failed to get a promotion again this year."

Hearing this, Yu Yue'er's face flashed with astonishment, "How could this be? Didn't my husband say that your name was on the list of promotions this year?"

For this purpose, she even gathered the whole family together to celebrate.

Xu Jinhuai got angry when he heard this.

He suddenly sat up from the bed and shouted, "It's all Lord Yu's fault. He was so unreasonable. He started talking nonsense after drinking a little bit of wine, and we were so happy that we had nothing to show for it."

Is that so?

Yu Yue'er also quickly followed suit and complained, "Master Yu is really going too far. How dare you tease your husband like this."

She had thought that after Xu Jinhuai got promoted, she could take advantage of his good mood and ask for more money from him, otherwise the family in this house would really not be able to make ends meet.

Now that Xu Jinhuai's promotion has failed again, she was afraid that it would be inappropriate to speak up at this time.
