Chapter 121 Xu Zhaoting's psychological changes
"I haven't returned to the dormitory for a long time, and I don't know if my bed sheets and bedding are moldy?" Shen Ming stood in front of the dormitory building and said with some emotion.
I went to my university at all, and I didn’t go to class a few times, and I didn’t even live in the dormitory for a permanent residence.
Such a willful student is probably the only two guys, Shen Ming and Mo Fan.
...
"So serious?"
As soon as Shen Ming entered the door, he saw Xu Zhaoting seriously studying a book called "Introduction to the Intermediate Thunder System".
Xu Zhaoting, who was seriously looking at the book, was startled by the sudden sound, but turned around and saw the familiar face, but excitedly put down the book in his hand.
"Shen Ming! You are finally back!"
Xu Zhaoting hugged Shen Ming and patted Shen Ming's back heavily.
Shen Ming was a little caught off guard by Xu Zhaoting's enthusiasm, but he did not push him away.
"That... it's so late, have you eaten? Why don't I treat you to dinner? I'll take out your bed sheets and bedding... I will take it out to dry regularly, so there's no problem if you stay in the dormitory tonight." Xu Zhaoting said at a loss, and even acted a little too much, as if he was treating Shen Ming as a superior.
Shen Ming was immediately disagreeable with Xu Zhaoting's attitude.
"That... thank you! But I have eaten it, so there is no need to worry." Shen Ming didn't know where the embarrassment came from, but he still said thank you.
"It should be that I said thank you. You saved my life. I have always wanted to thank you, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance!" Xu Zhaoting scratched his head and looked at Shen Ming with some shame and said.
Once in Bocheng, Xu Zhaoting was also a young man with a high spirit and fantasy of becoming a master of the generation. However, after experiencing the moment of life and death, the arrogance and sharpness in Xu Zhaoting's heart had been completely wiped out.
He thanked Shen Ming for saving him from the bottom of his heart, so he subconsciously put on a very humble attitude in front of his life-saving benefactor.
"Yeah! I accept it." Shen Ming nodded to Xu Zhaoting with a smile.
"Ah?" Xu Zhaoting was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Shen Ming would answer like this. Normal people shouldn't say politely, don't you thank me?
Xu Zhaoting didn't think Shen Ming's answer was wrong, but Shen Ming accepted it like this and felt a little disappointed in his heart.
The two are from the same place. Now one is a genius who is tall and superior, and the other is an ordinary student buried among the crowds.
Xu Zhaoting just didn't know how to thank Shen Ming, because he felt that everything he had was not worthy of the genius who shone like the sun in front of him.
"What? Isn't it okay? A thank you is enough. Although I saved your life, your life is not mine. I can only say that God doesn't accept you! Why keep it in mind?" Shen Ming patted Xu Zhaoting's shoulder.
Shen Ming suddenly realized that although he had saved Xu Zhaoting's life, the "proud heart" of the guy in front of him seemed to be dead.
"But I always owe you something, I don't know how to pay it back." Xu Zhaoting's eyes began to flash, and he did not dare to look directly at Shen Ming's gaze, and kept scratching his head to hide his embarrassment.
Shen Ming couldn't help feeling a little guilty when he looked at Xu Zhaoting with nowhere to put his hands.
It is easiest to change a person between life and death, but he didn't expect Xu Zhaoting to become so humble in front of him.
"Then think you owe me! Then you can't pay it back now, your life is worth it!"
Xu Zhaoting looked at Shen Ming's gaze and felt a sense of jealousy in his heart. Is what Shen Ming did and said, a kind of pitifulness?
Shen Ming looked at the increasingly powerful blue halo on Xu Zhaoting's body and cursed in his heart: It's bad, is it so arrogant? I'm obviously approachable, okay?
"Xu Zhaoting!"
Shen Ming suddenly shouted!
Xu Zhaoting, who was originally stunned, shook with a sudden scream on his back.
"Your attitude makes our relationship a little embarrassed. I saved you because we are roommates, we are people we met before. We are friends! If you just feel that you owe me, then not only will you feel uncomfortable, but I will feel uncomfortable too." Shen Ming said as he looked at Xu Zhaoting's true feelings.
Shen Ming understood Xu Zhaoting's feeling. It may be insignificant to that person if he helped you. But you remembered the help in your heart, but you found that your self-righteous repayment is still insignificant to that person's eyes.
This feeling is very likely to lead a young man who was originally grateful to go astray.
Shen Ming didn't want to see Xu Zhaoting become like this.
"I... are I qualified to be friends with you?" Xu Zhaoting suddenly felt a little moved.
Birds of a feather flock together. In the place of Mingzhu Academy, strong people survive and competition is everywhere. Where can I have so-called friends? But is it necessary for a genius like Shen Ming to deceive himself?
"You are not qualified now! Because you subconsciously put me in a high position and put yourself in a low position. Sometimes it is really hard to say clearly who owes between people whom. I have saved you once, why can't you save me in the future?
I just saw that you were reading the book "Introduction to the Intermediate Thunder System" very seriously. It can be seen that you are working hard to become stronger! Although you are unknown now, who can tell the future?
I don't want you to feel that I owe me all my life just because I saved you once. It's that simple!" Shen Ming looked at Xu Zhaoting with his eyes very sincere.
The nameless fire in Xu Zhaoting's heart suddenly faded. Emotions are a very complex thing, and everything will turn back. When gratitude and debt reach a peak, it can easily evolve into hatred.
"I don't want to say anything. You don't owe me nonsense. Because you owe me what you deserve, you deserve me to save! At the beginning, you knew that it was a dead end, didn't you rush in? This kind of courage is not something that everyone has." Everything Shen Ming said now was what he thought.
Shen Ming never pitied anyone because there was no need. Most of the reason why he chose to save Xu Zhaoting was because of his hatred for the Black Church, and part of the reason was because of his regret for the death of this brave life.
"I..." Xu Zhaoting suddenly felt ridiculous. He felt a little jealous in his heart just now, complaining about someone who regards himself as a friend.
"You were the genius of Bocheng back then, who are you worse than you? So... I am your friend, not your creditor?" Shen Ming smiled and gently patted Xu Zhaoting on the shoulder.
After saying so much, it's almost enough. Xu Zhaoting is a smart person and will not misunderstand it.
"I'm going to wash up, and I hope we can stand together equally when we wake up tomorrow!"
After Shen Ming finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the bathroom with his toiletries.
Xu Zhaoting looked at Shen Ming's back and felt moved.
Since I came to Mingzhu Academy, everything that happened has hit Xu Zhaoting's self-confidence. From the genius that has become nothing like everyone else, no one can stand such a psychological gap.
After experiencing the incident of the Black Holy See, Xu Zhaoting felt even more that the gap between him and Mo Fan and Shen Ming could not be erased. Moreover, because Shen Ming saved his life, I was distressed that he didn't know how to repay this kindness.
But today when Xu Zhaoting heard Shen Ming's words, he suddenly felt stupid. If he had no confidence in himself, he would never be able to repay Shen Ming's life-saving grace.
...
Early the next morning, Shen Ming came to the magic cultivation class with sleepy eyes.
Since Shen Ming went to college, he hasn't really taken a few classes seriously. It's not that Shen Ming is so proud that this guy has no time to practice. It's better to practice than to listen to the class.
“Didn’t sleep well last night?”
Xu Zhaoting sat next to Shen Ming and asked with a smile. This time, Xu Zhaoting did not act a little humble now as he did last night, but became different.
Shen Ming couldn't help feeling a little relieved when he looked at Xu Zhaoting's changes. In fact, he didn't need to care about what Xu Zhaoting was like and what his opinion of him was? But Shen Ming didn't want to make the person he had saved for a long time go astray because of such a small problem.
"It's okay! I just have an old problem and I'll be sleepy as soon as I start class!" Shen Ming said weakly.
Xu Zhaoting was not surprised at all. After all, when he was in high school, Shen Ming was a sleeping god.
Soon, students entered the classroom one after another, and a "super smart" man also came in. Don't ask why he looked smart at first glance, but asking was the most amazing!
The extremely smart man glanced around everyone and then took out the roster.
"Xue Banshan!"
"arrive!"
"Miao Lei!"
"arrive!"
...
"Shen Ming!"
When the name was just clicked, the teacher did not wait for the classmate to call it, and directly called out the next name.
In fact, Shen Ming had almost never attended a few classes, and the teacher simply gave up on this student. The reason for naming was only due to the basic respect of a teacher for the students.
"Guo Yuhang!"
"arrive!"
"arrive!"
The two whistles in unison made the teacher a little confused and pushed the glasses hanging on the tip of his nose in anger.
"Although our class is a bit boring, you can't be so perfunctory to the teacher! Everyone who asks for help is robbed, and the friendship between classmates is really deep!"
As soon as the teacher finished speaking, the classroom burst into laughter.
The boy sitting in the first row raised his hand in a daze and embarrassed manner and said, "Teacher, I didn't ask someone to shout for me! I am Guo Yuhang!"
"Huh?" The teacher was suddenly a little surprised and habitually pushed his glasses again.
"Which classmate just now also called out? Come and explain to me what's going on?" The teacher said sternly. Although he was not surprised by skipping class, he was too embarrassed to make such a mistake as the teacher.
