Camden River’s hand on the desk couldn’t help but clench, then clench again, pressing heavily against the table. The protruding knuckles even made a creaking sound, which, though dull, was like a thunderclap in his ears.

As his mind turned over these thoughts, Professor Lee had already returned to the lectern.

The entire classroom seemed even quieter and more desolate, as if no one was there.

Professor Lee glanced around the room, not starting the lesson, but instead slowly began, "Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Schools have their rules and regulations; the primary task for students coming to school is to study. Of course, some students say that the law now allows college students to marry. That’s correct, the law does allow it, but letting it affect your studies is not right. You are all still very young, and the most important thing for young people is to strive, to study diligently, and to become useful talents in the future. Beyond that, you must develop a clear discernment of right and wrong, a rigorous mindset for learning, and establish the correct outlook on life, values, and love..."

Professor Lee took a sip from his teacup on the desk and continued with resonance, "Students like Windsor Myres, placed in the school, are the most troublesome problem students for teachers. When they enter society in the future, they will inevitably be idle and useless. The body, hair, and skin are received from parents; to harm oneself or seek death is to be unfilial! A girl who does not cherish herself—how can others? What is love? It must be something that makes a person better. Any love that is deep and respectful, and lasts till old age, must be built on the foundation of two people’s ideological consciousness being highly consistent, only then can it be stable, equal, and enduring! High-level love seeks soul resonance—we have the tragic story of Mr. Butterfly and Mrs. Butterfly transforming into butterflies in ancient times, and even in death, the love persists. Nowadays, some young people pursue excitement and sensationalism in relationships, as if being in the spotlight is a great achievement. That is purely the distortion of values and the influence of hedonism. An ancient saying goes, ’You are who you befriend,’ and this principle..."

Professor Lee was speaking when he suddenly paused, lifted his gaze, and looked afar, "Camden River, do you understand?"

He was older, and though he never used a microphone in class, when he spoke, his voice was like a loud bell, reverberating throughout the room.

At this moment, filled with anger, his voice was even more loud and imposing.

His words had already scared the silent classroom; another shout made all the students tremble simultaneously.

Camden River stood up in such an atmosphere.

All the students’ eyes were on him, some sighing, some sympathetic, but most eyes carried a mixed sense of expectation.

Professor Lee’s speech was mainly about Windsor Myres, and calling out Camden River like this naturally carried a sense of deep concern, feeling that the esteemed students of the academy, the top talents of each teacher, seemingly are bound to come to ruin.

He was trying to save him, under the watchful eyes of everyone, making it feel like an act of coercion.

The atmosphere was too rigid and stagnant.

The students in the classroom all had their hearts tightened.

Mia Ginger as well.

Professor Lee, at his age, is considered an elder among professors and holds considerable authority.

He is a revered figure in the News Realm, while they are merely a group of newcomers awaiting guidance and development.

Who would dare to refute him?

The relationship between teachers and students has never been equal, at least not in certain aspects.

If he scolds, you endure it. If he scolds again, you endure it still. If you don’t want to endure it, at the very least, you’re not a student who respects teachers and reveres doctrine. Meanwhile, the teacher is merely a person who lacks empathy.
