He appeared suddenly and left even more suddenly. Was it just to give her a candy?
Moreover, the candy was originally hers...
She reached out and adjusted her skewed bow that had been pulled.
But now wasn’t the time to think about this.
She still needed to see the chemistry teacher.
She stepped inside.
"Reporting."
Upon entering the office, there wasn’t a single person.
She stood there waiting for a while.
Her hand clutched a corner of her skirt as she idly toyed with it.
Casually chatting with Xiao Hua.
From outside, the class bell rang.
She waited a bit longer.
Still, no teacher appeared.
Thinking about it, maybe it would be better to go back to class first.
She could come back after class.
Walking out of the office, she retraced her steps along the corridor.
Suddenly, a voice came from beside her.
"Wait."
Su Yan was startled and stopped in her tracks.
Then she saw a male teacher wearing black-frame glasses, holding a book, walking over from the side.
The male teacher looked Su Yan up and down, his tone somewhat accusatory.
"What are you doing here?"
She looked innocent.
"The chemistry teacher told me to come find him."
Hearing this, the male teacher squinted scrutinizingly.
"Your chemistry teacher took a day off today. How did he tell you to come find him?"
Su Yan was about to speak.
The male teacher cut her off immediately.
"Su Yan, I usually see you as an honest and good kid. I didn’t expect you to be not only impolite but also full of lies. Do you expect to contribute to society when you grow up? How can a girl not learn properly?"
Listening to this, Su Yan looked at the male teacher and finally remembered.
Two weeks ago, the class where she was punished to stand was taught by this teacher.
He taught her Chinese, named... Fan Haolin.
"Teacher, I didn’t..." lie.
Before she could finish, the teacher sternly interrupted her.
"Silence! I’ve seen many students like you!"
Su Yan licked the corner of her lips, her almond eyes watery as she met the teacher’s gaze.
Fan Haolin adjusted his glasses, his expression very serious.
"You’re still not admitting you lied?"
"I didn’t."
"Still being stubborn?!"
Fan Haolin felt very embarrassed.
Clearly, this student was caught red-handed, yet she dared to lie?
Did she think he was easy to deceive due to his inexperience?
He clasped his hands behind his back, remembering how Su Yan had suddenly pushed the door open that day, walked into the classroom as if no one else was there, completely ignoring him as a teacher.
She stood at the door, was punished for a whole class, and still showed no remorse or apology.
A girl like that will be a disgrace to society!
Given his gaunt build, when Fan Haolin turned serious, he appeared very harsh.
Then he pointed to the distant playground.
"Run ten laps and reflect on where you went wrong."
Su Yan rubbed her brow, her head aching.
Out of habit, she took out a Strawberry Milk Candy from her pocket.
She unwrapped it, intending to eat it.
Fan Haolin’s face turned livid with anger.
While he was seriously disciplining her, this student was frowning and unwrapping a candy to eat?
Did she not even regard him as a teacher?!
This was simply a slap in his face!
With anger, he shouted.
"Su Yan!!"
As he said this, he raised his textbook, intending to hit Su Yan’s hand.
He wanted to knock the candy out of her hand.
But his arm froze mid-swing, hanging in the air.
A slender hand grabbed his wrist, preventing him from swinging down.
