Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Hmph. Whats so important about this so-called research meeting? You didnt go either. Im going straight to the president to ask if this is how he coddles his students! With that, Tang Lin slammed his papers on the lectern and barked, You have a free period now.

Then, Tang Lin stormed out of the cla.s.s, face flushed with indignation. He Jinghan opened his mouth but didnt say anything.

The students in the cla.s.sroom shared uneasy glances as they watched their fuming teacher exit. One student quipped with a sneer. Jinghan, youre one of us. Why are you always elbowing us aside? This isnt the first time youve had secret talks with Rong Qi.

Yeah, youve left our teacher red-faced, another chimed in.

Ignoring their barbs, He Jinghan opened his workbook and settled into his seat. He silenced his cla.s.smates with a single phrase, Im just doing a favor for someone; its as simple as that.

Tang Lin burst into Qiu Yonggens office, angrily slapping a leave of absence note onto Qiu Yonggens desk, and said, Mr. Qiu, I cant handle this anymore. Look at Rong Qi. Shes skipping cla.s.ses without a second thought, all because shes cozy with the president. I demand that she be placed on academic probation!

Qiu Yonggen picked up the note and sighed. Calm down, Mr. Tang. At least she bothered to write a note. Listen, now that President Zhang is back, what happens in Cla.s.s 7 is none of our concern.

What? What are you talking about? Keeping such a rebellious student is a disgrace to our inst.i.tution! Tang Lin couldnt believe his ears.

Han Yi, who shared the office, adjusted his gla.s.ses and interjected, President Zhang has heard of the incident at the freshmen a.s.sembly and the duel between Cla.s.s 1 and Cla.s.s 7. His relations.h.i.+p with the expatriate teaching Cla.s.s 7 is special. In short, hes protective of them. We made too much noise recently; its better to lie low for now.

I cant keep quiet! You dont understand, I just had her stand outside the cla.s.sroom as punishment, and she just left, openly defying me. She has absolutely no respect for authority!

At this, Qiu Yonggen and Han Yi stiffened, eyes widening in surprise. What did you say? You sent Rong Qi out of the cla.s.sroom?

Yes, I did, Tang Lin said, clearly annoyed.

Good Lord! Tang Lin, you may be smart, but youre foolish at times too! Do you have any idea what kind of trouble youve stirred up? Do you even know who Rong Qi is? Qiu Yonggen stood up, anxiety etched on his face.

A sense of foreboding enveloped Tang Lin. What are you trying to say? Who is this Rong Qi?

Qiu Yonggen took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and his veins bulged. Shes someone we cant afford to offend.

Rong Qi left the academic building and headed toward the library. Not to read, but to take in the panoramic views of the campus. She perched herself on the steps in front of the library, enjoying the breeze and her solitude.

A message popped up on her phone from Huang Hao, telling her she had lost twenty points for her absence. She chose not to respond. Two minutes later, another message from Huang Hao flashed on her screen.

[Ms. Seven, no need to intervene anymore. The issue with Rong Qi is resolved; it was a misunderstanding. Sorry for the trouble, and dont hack my phone. I didnt skip cla.s.s on purpose and Ive caught up on todays lessons.]

Rong Qis lip twitched. She swiped away the unread message only to find another one, this time from Jian Yunzhou..
