Ning An returned to her seat, and Tian Yu glanced towards the door, asking, "What did the tutor want with you? I saw you two talking at the door for ages. It wasn’t about being late, was it?"
"No, the tutor talked to me about the stuff online."
"Hasn’t that online stuff been resolved? I saw that girl and her family stop causing trouble!"
After Ning An’s video was posted, everyone had pretty much understood the whole story, and those who were following the drama had quieted down.
Although there were still a few trolls continuing to stir things up, they were in the minority.
The tutor hadn’t shown up when things were at their worst, so why come looking for her now that it’s all over?
Ning An said, "The school wants me to delete the video to prevent further fermentation of the incident, which would negatively affect the school!"
"Why should you delete the video when you are not the one who did anything wrong?" Tian Yu expressed confusion at the school’s request.
"If you ask me, you’re just too easy-going. If it were me, I wouldn’t delete it. What if they decide to cause trouble again?"
A toad squatting under your feet, even if it doesn’t bite, it’s still irritating.
It’s much better this way; it keeps them in line.
"Forget it, it’s all resolved now. Plus, the internet has memory. Even if the video is deleted, it can be posted again. If they’re not stupid, they won’t continue to make trouble."
"That’s not necessarily true. Some people’s shamelessness is beyond your imagination. You think it’s over, but they might just be waiting for a chance to strike back. But never mind, you’ve already deleted it."
Just like she said, if needed, it could be posted again.
Ning An remembered another matter the tutor had mentioned and couldn’t help but take out her phone to message Xu Weiran.
"Do you have time recently?"
"What, you miss me already after we just parted?"
Ning An found that this person had been getting cheesier with his words lately. A decent researcher, not acting dignified at all.
"It’s our tutor. He came to me hoping to invite you to give a lecture at our school."
"I’m just the messenger. If it’s convenient for you, I’ll give you our tutor’s WeChat, and you can talk directly. If it’s not convenient, no worries, no pressure."
Xu Weiran said, "I have to give face to my girlfriend, but I have one condition."
"I want you to help me prepare."
"Prepare what?" Ning An asked.
"If it’s about the lecture, the school will handle the arrangements. You just need to prepare the content of the lecture. That’s not in my expertise, so I can’t be much help."
Xu Weiran, "You just need to be with me, you don’t need to do anything else. I’ll speak to your tutor and borrow you for a few evenings, to help me sort out the lecture materials."
"You’re mixing business with pleasure!" So when he said helping him prepare, he just meant keeping him company.
The matter of Xu Weiran coming to school for a lecture was quickly settled.
After he gave his response to the tutor, the tutor immediately reported it to the school authorities, who then began making arrangements.
The tutor even made a point of telling her, "You don’t need to attend evening self-study for a while. Help Mr. Xu prepare well for the lecture."
Their tutor, almost thirty years old, was calling Xu Weiran ’Mr. Xu’, which sounded strangely awkward!
