This is too hilarious!

27. Is this the important point?

His cold tone, coupled with his slightly forward-leaning posture, gave Bai Hui and Feng Jue an eerie feeling of being looked down upon, despite his not-so-tall stature.

Yuncheng is known for its year-round spring-like climate, and even though it's already autumn, the temperature is still quite high.

At midday, with the sun high in the sky, a large shadow fell over Feng Yuan's lowered face, obscuring half of his expression.

"No, I'm not lying!"

Feng Jue trembled like a leaf: "Dad, I mainly performed poorly this time because of the strange tales in the classroom. It wasn't just me; most of my classmates did too..."

"Do we send you to school so you can compare yourself to others and be worse off?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Jue's expression gradually became distorted.

[Simple Lines] Below his vision, wisps of dark gray dotted lines drifted out from his heart and the top of his head, merging into Feng Yuan's nostrils.

Feng Yuan then looked at Bai Hui, his expression brightening from cloudy to sunny: "So, was Bai Hui also affected? If he was affected, he still managed to score over 900 points. That's amazing!"

Is there any special learning method?

"I have three dream-devices in my home!"

Bai Hui said calmly.

He didn't know much about these fake people, after all, their actual level was only at the junior high school level through self-study, and they had learned it all in a haphazard way and were extremely unbalanced in their studies.

But one thing he was very clear about was that to deal with such hypocrites, one had to be "capable"!

Although these hypocrites feed on children's guilt and resentment, their core motivation is still based on the idea that "I'm doing this for your own good."

They have to focus on this point in order to bind and exploit the child's guilt and resentment.

In short, the starting point is good, but it is often not advisable to embark on such a journey.

Even if it's "for the child's own good," it will inevitably feel like a huge rock pressing on the child's chest, making it hard for the child to breathe.

Feng Jue is a typical example.

They've been subjected to PUA (Pick-Up Artist) tactics, and even their emotional expression has become severely problematic.

"Three Dream Artifacts?" Feng Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "So that's how it is... Son, look at Bai Hui! You should learn from him!"

"That's why I immediately asked Bai Hui for advice after my monthly exam results came out today!"

Feng Jue spoke these words very fluently, even with a hint of anxiety.

It was as if he had already mentally rehearsed the plan countless times.

Bai Hui seemed to be deep in thought.

So that's how it is. When this guy found me before, he already knew that my grades had dropped and that I would probably suffer even more severe torment when I got back.

Moreover, judging from his reaction to Li Youye just now, Feng Jue's mother's pseudo-human symptoms are probably even more severe...

Feng Yuan is already in this state, so his wife must be suffering even more...

[Imagining terrifying scenes reduces sanity by 10 points]

Fortunately, no one noticed the strangeness in Bai Hui's heart. With his simple lines and his sanity greatly reduced, he was now practically a mechanical mind!

Putting aside other aspects, at least in terms of maintaining a blank expression, there's absolutely no problem with that.

Feng Yuan seemed quite satisfied with this, perhaps because he felt that Bai Hui was more 'composed' in this way...

Subsequently, Feng Yuan agreed to Feng Jue's request and allowed Feng Jue to accompany Bai Hui home that noon. After giving a few more instructions, Feng Yuan turned and left.

His silhouette, though seemingly ordinary, inexplicably exudes a unique charm that can evoke feelings of guilt and gratitude in certain groups of people...

This directly caused Bai Hui's sanity, which had already fallen below 50, to drop by another two points...

Wiping away her tears, Feng Jue whispered with a mixture of guilt and gratitude, "Dad, don't worry, Dad, I definitely won't let you down. I... Phew! Finally! Thank you, Bai Hui!"

Halfway through his sentence, his slightly distorted expression turned cold and stiff again, tear stains still on his face, and he turned to cold words with a sense of relief.

Bai Hui found it all absurd.

……

"Is that your dad?"

On the way to Bai Hui's house, He Qing finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Even though she didn't listen in on the whole thing, just watching from afar made her feel a faint sense of disharmony. Having successfully condensed her inner demons, she instinctively felt a little uncomfortable.

"right."

Feng Jue sneered: "The parents' group... over the years, the education of hardship, the education of guilt, the education of comparison, the education of gratitude... has almost suffocated me."

I just hadn't realized that before.

Until one day, I felt like a string in my heart had suddenly snapped, and that's when I realized something was wrong.

"I see." Relying on her knowledge, He Qing immediately understood Feng Jue's subtext, nodded, and said, "Then you've really had a hard time... But you've also benefited from this misfortune, being able to see through the hypocrisy of the elders, your will is indeed strong enough."

Upon hearing this, Bai Hui also became curious—

He had wanted to ask in detail for a long time, but considering that he seemed to be a "top student" now, and the way these two were talking made it seem like this level of knowledge was quite ordinary... At least Bai Hui felt that if he asked, it might have some impact on his current "persona" in their eyes.

The most urgent task right now is to go home and confront the three dream artifacts directly; we can't afford any more complications.

"So this shows his strong will?" Li Youye perfectly demonstrated the good manners of a low-scoring student, directly asking Bai Hui's question: "He just has a long face all day long! What's so difficult about that?"

And are fake people in parents' groups really that easy to spot?

Bai Hui secretly gave Li Youye a thumbs up in his heart, thinking to himself that he was indeed his bad friend from his past life. He had spent three years in high school, and in the end, he got into a junior college through a special admissions program, but he didn't even get a junior college diploma...

"As expected of you, a Dark Night level degree!"

Then, in response to He Qing's question, he immediately explained, "Please understand, You Ye scored over two hundred points in this monthly exam."

He was taken aback.

"How could you be friends with such a terrible student?!"

Feng Jue, however, said something in Li Youye's defense: "To be precise, it's 255 points, a full 27 points higher than the last monthly exam!"

Moreover, this was achieved despite the fact that our entire class, except for Bai Hui, was affected by the ghost story and everyone's grades had collectively declined; this marked a significant improvement.

He recalled that Li Youye had not only not disliked him for his frankness, but had even cared about whether his mother had come.

I feel it's necessary to say something in defense of Li Youye.

"Even if it's influenced by ghost stories, a total score of just over two hundred is too low..." He Qing made no attempt to hide his disdain. "I feel like if you tied a dog to your desk and let it scratch the answer sheet, the machine would probably get a higher score..."

Li Youye couldn't hold back any longer and angrily said:

"Nonsense! The answer sheet isn't clean enough to get any marks!"

Bai Hui: "..."

Is this the key point?
