“If you aren’t satisfied with my apology, I’ll go and run three rounds around the field too. No, I’ll run five!”
Qiao Mianmian was slowly recovering from her shock.
She had a speculation.
She recalled the call she had with Mo Yesi a while ago.
Could Mo Yesi have done something to make the counselor so afraid?
It seemed like this was the only possibility.
The counselor was about to go to the field to run upon saying that.
Qiao Mianmian hurriedly stopped him. “Counselor, please wait. Luo Luo and I don’t blame you for it. You don’t have to apologize to us, much less run around the field.”
In fact, she didn’t think that the counselor did much wrong, considering his position.
He couldn’t possibly let things go after a fight broke out in the dormitory.
A reflective essay and a few rounds around the field weren’t considered severe punishments.
“Really?” The counselor was stunned for a moment before a look of agitation overtook his face. He grabbed Qiao Mianmian’s hand. “Student Qiao, does this mean you’ve forgiven me?”
“Uhh…” Qiao Mianmian quietly slipped her hand out. “Counselor, like I said, you didn’t do anything wrong. We were the ones in the wrong for fighting in the dormitory.”
The counselor looked a little upset now. “Student Qiao, you’re not forgiving me?”
Qiao Mianmian. “… No.”
“Then why did you say that?”
Qiao Mianmian had nothing more to say. “… Alright, I forgive you.”
It seemed like he wouldn’t let her off until she said it explicitly.
She didn’t know what Mo Yesi had said to scare this man so badly.
“Really? Student Qiao, you’re really forgiving me?”
“… Yes, I forgive you.”
“What about Student Jiang?”
Jiang Luoli’s eyes twitched a little before she nodded. “Mm, I forgive you too.”
The counselor placed his hand on his chest as if he had just escaped from hell.
He was practically tearing up. “Thank you for your magnanimity.”
Qiao Mianmian was speechless.
So was Jiang Luoli.
“Please hold on.” The counselor was now in a more relaxed mood as he walked into the dormitory bedroom.
Qiao Mianmian heard him say to Bai Xiao and the rest, “What are you girls waiting for? Hurry and apologize to Student Qiao and Student Jiang.”
“Why should we.” Bai Xiao was getting furious. “Counselor, this is unfair! You already said that Jiang Luoli was the main culprit. Why is it suddenly our fault now?”
Zhang Yuwei sneered. “Even the counselor apologized to them. Some people are just too good at this… depending on their man to bully their schoolmates and even their teachers.”
“That’s right, Counselor. Are you being threatened?! Why are you afraid? You should expose them!”
“Keep quiet!” The counselor got angry. “Nobody threatened me, don’t talk rot! Apologize when I tell you to!”
“I won’t!” Bai Xiao clenched her teeth. “I’m not afraid of their threats. Come at me!”
“I actually want to know what she’s capable of doing if we don’t apologize,” Zhang Yuwei said coldly. “She can make the school expel us if she wants. In any case, it’s not as if she hasn’t done this before.”
