Lin Shi gave Ren Honglin a glance, then chuckled, "Honglin, I am quite foolish, always have been, it's because of my foolishness that I was abandoned by Su Yu and everyone else that day, forcing me to stay behind at the school and lead the rest...haha...

As Lin Shi ended his speech, everyone around was stunned and didn't know what to say. Even Ren Honglin's face flushed red, as he called out, "Mr. Lin", then opened his mouth, finding himself at a loss for words.
