"Give me the mobile phone."
The instructor hesitated for a moment, glanced at Shen Xinhui, saw that the Commander had not spoken, and then passed the mobile phone to Shen Lingxi.
Shen Lingxi, with the phone up to the microphone, was about to slide the answer button when she heard Song Lili sternly warn,
Shen Lingxi’s fingers paused, facing Song Lili’s cold eyes. Suddenly, she tugged at the corner of her mouth and slid the answer button open—
"What are you doing? Why haven’t you been answering your phone, making me anxious?"
The man’s gentle and elegant tone carried a touch of urgency, his magnetic, hoarse voice echoing through the microphone in the entrance ceremony hall.
Shen Lingxi’s hand suddenly stiffened...
Just then, Song Lili stepped on the back of a front row student’s chair and leaped out, then jumped onto the stage with a hand support, snatched Shen Lingxi’s phone right out of her hand!
Song Lili leaned towards her, glaring at her,
"The school rules allow for mistakes. The school’s reputation won’t be damaged just because someone violates them. But a freshman with the highest composite score who is unyielding, arrogant, overstepping boundaries, and invading privacy—that is truly ridiculous and will damage the school’s reputation!"
Shen Lingxi’s beautiful face immediately turned ugly as she squinted her eyes,
"No matter how many times I say it, it’s the same, and you’re not deaf."
Song Lili thought to herself, if it had been before, she might not have argued so forcefully...
Besides, she didn’t need to, for Wen Nian would handle everything. If she were wronged, Wen Nian would seek justice for her.
But at this moment, she truly felt that seeking justice for oneself felt so much better than having someone else do it.
"Tang Xiaohua, you’re just lucky. Held hostage by a criminal and injured, the principal empathized with you and granted you admission. Don’t take it for granted!"
"Enough! What are you two doing? Take them away to face the wall!"
Lu Ziqing had just stood up when Shen Xinhui interrupted!
Shen Lingxi looked at Shen Xinhui, seemingly very dissatisfied with her father’s handling, but it was not appropriate to make a scene, so she stifled her anger and left.
Song Lili took a deep breath, also feeling a tightness in her chest.
Following the instructor and Shen Lingxi out of the freshmen ceremony hall, they were each made to stand facing a wall to reflect.
Song Lili unconsciously clenched her fists only to realize she still held the mobile phone, the call from Wen Nian not yet disconnected, and she felt...
she felt quite embarrassed.
She didn’t want Wen Nian to hear or see any of her unfavorable situations.
"Tang Xiaohua, give me the phone."
The instructor was not blind and clearly saw the mobile phone in her hand.
Song Lili hesitated for a moment, then said, "The call hasn’t ended yet, I’ll just say a few words."
The instructor was indeed easy to talk to.
Song Lili put the phone to her ear and murmured, "...are you still listening?"
A certain and solid response struck her heart suddenly.
Song Lili pursed her lips and said, "Military academy rules prohibit carrying mobile phones. I didn’t tell you yesterday, so I sneaked it with me. I might have slid it to silent incorrectly, so when the call came, the ringtone... just..."
"The principal didn’t grant you admission out of sympathy."
"..." Song Lili’s eyes suddenly widened, her heart pounding uncontrollably. Suddenly, she felt a slight sting in her nose.
How did he know that this was exactly what upset her?
Was he a worm in her stomach...
