Just then, a hand landed on his shoulder, and a familiar voice came from behind his ear.
"Old Hu, what's wrong? You look a bit down."
Hearing this voice, Hu Shuo felt a surge of joy and quickly turned around only to see, sure enough, Kang Jia who had been missing for two days.
"Kang, how did you come back?" Hu Shuo softly punched Kang Jia, slightly resenting him for leaving without saying goodbye.
"I came back to check on you guys," he replied.
Kang Jia smiled slightly, his gaze falling on the classmates who had just been whispering among themselves, his expression a bit complex.
He had come around from the back door, catching every word of the discussions along the way.
He hadn't expected that Hu Shuo, who had always stood in front of Bi Jian defending everyone's rights, had such a poor reputation among his peers.
Some people even blatantly slandered Hu Shuo's reputation, accusing him of taking bribes and selling out.
It was truly disheartening.
