Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Framing Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Framing “What are you all doing? Stop it.”
An explosive roar ignited at the restroom entrance, the principal’s distinctive bellow, making Du Xiaohui and the others instantly stiffen. Lu Siyuan, unwilling to be outdone, seized the opportunity to kick Du Xiaohui.
Everyone turned to look at the door and saw the principal in his Sun Yat-sen suit, nearly popping his eyes out with the rage swelling up into his forehead, while Chen Jie and Li Qiumei stood next to him with stern faces.
The teacher from the second-year class, Sun He, had a complexion as unsightly as a dead fish.
Shen Mianmian finally took a breath of relief when she heard the principal’s voice, let go of Du Xiaohui, turned her head, and immediately petrified. She felt so embarrassed she wished she could dig a hole with her toes and bury herself in it.
He Nan and Li Yue were standing behind the principal. They were an unmistakable presence, difficult to ignore.
She dared not meet He Nan’s gaze, but she could feel the coldness in the depth of his eyes.
Brawling in the boys’ bathroom, such a scene would lead anyone who saw it to think she wasn’t a good kid, right? ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Big Brother He must be very disappointed in her at this moment.
Although she never intended to curry favor with He Nan, the thought of his disappointment was still unbearable; he was the first person to genuinely treat her well after she was reborn.
The principal glared at them for a while before finally bellowing, “Come out.”
They followed him to the office in unison.
The kids who were brimming with arrogance just now had all turned cowardly. Students in those days both respected and feared their teachers, who could extinguish any bluster with just a glance.
Approaching the office, the bell for class rang. Chen Jie glanced at Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan with a trace of worry in his eyes, then grabbed his chalk box and headed for the classroom.
Teacher Sun also left with his chalk box.
The principal, staring at the few students standing heads down in front of him, wished he could grab a stick and knock them dead. Any time but today to fight.
The town’s big boss had finally visited their school, planning to select some students from struggling families for scholarships, when suddenly someone reported a brawl in the boys’ bathroom.
It was bad enough that boys were fighting, but for girls to join in was too much for him to bear.
The principal thought it over and decided to let the vice principal take the guests to lunch while he dealt with the situation.
Li Yue realized the principal’s intent and quickly spoke up before him, “We’re not in a rush, let’s deal with their issue first.” How could they leave when He Nan’s sister was involved and the situation wasn’t even clear yet?
He thought this, but since He Nan had not spoken up, he didn’t feel it was his place to bring up Shen Mianmian’s involvement.
Hearing this, the principal had no choice but to handle the matter in front of He Nan and Li Yue, hardening his countenance. He couldn’t protect his nephew in front of outsiders and had to be as fair and impartial as possible.
“Tell me, what exactly happened? Why were you fighting?”
Before anyone could answer, he turned to Shen Mianmian, his face even uglier than before, his eyes filled with a trace of revulsion.
“And you, a girl, what were you doing in the boys’ bathroom?”
Just as Du Xiaohui was about to speak, Sun He interrupted, “Lu Siyuan and Shen Mianmian were hugging and kissing in the bathroom when we walked in on them. We wanted to tell a teacher, but then they both attacked us.”
The temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees with those words, all of the chill emanating from He Nan.
The teachers first flushed with embarrassment, feeling such topics were too shameful to discuss, then anger set in.
The principal’s face was beyond livid, Du Xiaohui frowned at the student, his expression somewhat strange.
Realizing what was said, Lu Siyuan exploded with rage, “Are you freaking sick? Making up bullshit like that?”
