As for the local students, they returned home daily. They were green with envy towards the other students who were like free birds. They had money and time, with no one to watch over them. Ignoring their studies, who wouldn't be envious?
Of course Fangzheng was an exception. He had time, but no money. He couldn't gallivant! The children in the city and Fangzheng lacked a common language. As for the children from the villages, they would go drinking daily, go to Internet cafes and bragged all day. Fangzheng had no money, so he couldn't have fun. Therefore he was marginalized. He was ignored in the past, and now, he was still the one being ignored. All Fangzheng could do was smile wryly.
Just as Fangzheng fell silent and acted like he didn't exist, a classmate suddenly @-ed him. "Is that Fangzheng? Welcome to the class alumni group."
