He Nan’s gaze shifted from Shen Mianmian before he stepped toward the bed, took the cup from her hands, and directly lifted Lu Siyuan’s head, who was caught off guard by his series of actions.
He Nan raised an eyebrow, "Don’t you want a drink?"
Who needs your help drinking water?
Despite feeling a surge of annoyance inside, he had no choice and reluctantly took a sip before refusing to drink any more.
"Xiaoxi, come here." Principal Yang called Yang Xiaoxi over to Lu Siyuan and said, "Lu Siyuan, I’m here to see you both as the principal and as Yang Xiaoxi’s parent."
Yang Xiaoxi said awkwardly, "Lu Siyuan, I know you didn’t come to rescue me this time, but you ended up indirectly saving me anyway, so I still want to thank you."
Her tone shifted as she continued, "But don’t think that just because of this, I’ll treat you like a lifesaver from now on. We’ll keep things separate."
Lu Siyuan snorted, "Who needs your thanks."
After all, he hadn’t gone there to save Yang Xiaoxi in the first place, that was a fact.
"You..." Yang Xiaoxi, angered by his attitude, was about to retort when she got stopped by a look from Principal Yang.
Principal Yang said with a troubled expression, "Lu Siyuan, although your actions could be considered heroic, the specific circumstances still need to be investigated by the police. You injured someone, and it was a group fight, which according to school rules, merits expulsion. However, your mother has already come to the school before, saying that she wants to arrange a transfer for you. The education in Beijing is better than here, so..."
"Dad." Yang Xiaoxi, realizing what he was implying, stamped her foot in frustration. How could her dad expel someone who had saved her?
"Don’t speak." Principal Yang gave her a stern look.
"Principal, I understand what you mean, I’ll transfer schools," Lu Siyuan said.
Principal Yang was somewhat surprised and also a bit ashamed that Lu Siyuan agreed so readily, but transferring schools wasn’t necessarily a bad thing for him, at least it sounded better than being expelled.
So he said, "Since you’ve agreed to transfer, from now on you’re no longer a student of No. 3 Middle School. Whatever you do outside has nothing to do with No. 3 Middle School, and we have no right to expel you."
"Thank you," Lu Siyuan said. "Principal, I was the one who hit Sun He. I’m responsible for my own actions and don’t want others to be implicated, so it has nothing to do with Du Xiaohui."
Principal Yang glanced at Du Xiaohui in the next bed, nodded, and said, "High school studies are intense, but you’ve injured your arm, not your brain. That won’t interfere with attending class. Take a couple of days to rest, and if it’s nothing serious, come back to school on Monday."
Two students who normally didn’t cause trouble at school and had saved his daughter—having failed to keep one, he felt regretful; how could he ruin the future of the other?
"Thank you, Principal," Du Xiaohui’s eyes reddened with gratitude.
Lu Siyuan also let out a sigh of relief. As long as Du Xiaohui could stay, it was a success.
Shen Mianmian’s gaze wandered between Du Xiaohui and Lu Siyuan, guessing that the two must have discussed all this beforehand; otherwise, they wouldn’t be so unanimous.
After Principal Yang expressed further concern for both of them, he left the hospital with Yang Xiaoxi.
Lu Siyuan glanced at He Nan and said, "Brother He, if you have things to do, you can go ahead. Mianmian can take care of me here." Fresh chapters posted on novel※fire.net
Upon hearing this, He Nan said indifferently, "I’ve already called your home, your mom will arrive soon, and she’ll take care of you."
"You called my mom?" Lu Siyuan was unsettled. "Brother He, you’re too nosy. What’s wrong with Mianmian taking care of me here for half a day when she doesn’t have school on Saturday?"
