Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Don’t Leave After School (3)
“Ugh…”
Yu Yue leaned against the trash bin near her, throwing up ceaselessly.
“Yue Yue, are you okay?”
Yu Yue’s face was pale, her eyes somewhat red, but her gaze was filled with malice.
The three girls beside her weren’t faring any better, their faces seeming to have taken on the color of milk tea.
After a bout of vomiting, they slumped to the ground, drained of strength.
“Yue Yue, do you think Xu Chuzheng… How did she get mixed up with Zhu Zian? Zhu Zian came to back her up today, right?”
The girl with bright red nail polish was fuming with anger.
Yu Yue had no idea what was going on.
Right now, she was feeling too nauseous.
“Damn it, Xu Chuzheng, that bitch, must have pulled some dirty trick to get Zhu Zian to help her like this.”
“Yue Yue, we must avenge this!”
Yu Yue didn’t respond, but of course, this grudge had to be avenged!
“Shut up, you’re annoying the hell out of me.”
–
Chuzheng skipped her afternoon class to make sure Yu Yue drank the milk tea.
The original owner of her body wasn’t doing well academically, and whenever Yu Yue and the others would skip class, they’d drag her along, so her absence didn’t elicit any comments from the teachers.
Chuzheng only returned for the evening self-study session.
The original owner’s seat was at the very back corner of the class.
The students in the classroom didn’t pay much attention to Chuzheng, chatting and doing homework, creating a lively atmosphere.
No sooner had Chuzheng sat down than someone knocked on the classroom door twice.
“Xu Chuzheng, come to the office.”
Standing at the door was a woman, about forty years old, with her hair up in a bun, black-framed glasses, and a stern expression that gave her a somewhat rigid air.
This was their class advisor—Teacher Zhou.
Teacher Zhou called out her name and then walked away, heels clicking on the floor.
The people in the classroom looked towards Chuzheng.
It was only then that everyone noticed she seemed a bit different than before.
Chuzheng was still wearing the loose high school uniform.
The original owner’s jacket was very dirty, but this one belonged to Zhu Zian; it was said he had never worn it before, and he had someone fetch it from the dorm for her.
Under the gaze of her classmates, Chuzheng rose calmly and made her way out of the classroom.
“What did she do? Teacher Zhou looks really angry.”
“Who knows.”
“Hey, did you see? The school jacket she just wore is from the senior year.”
“Could it be that she was caught in an early romance?”
“Her? Who would dare to date her? She’s always so gloomy, just looking at her puts you in a bad mood.”
“Right, hahaha…”
The students at the back burst into laughter.
Their words were filled with contempt and disdain.
It was common knowledge that the original owner used to be bullied by Yu Yue, and these people were more or less aware of it.
But no one would speak up for her. In their eyes, the original owner probably deserved to be bullied; after all, she didn’t fit in and wasn’t good at ingratiating herself with others.
Following the original owner’s memory, Chuzheng walked towards the office.
In the office.
Yu Yue and a few other girls were hanging their heads and wiping away tears, looking as if they had suffered a great injustice.
Zhu Zian and several boys were leaning against the wall in a sloppy manner, looking quite impatient.
“You lot, stand up straight!”
The male teacher sitting on the other side pointed at Zhu Zian and the others, scolding them severely.
“Look at yourselves, what a mess! The college entrance exam is right around the corner, and you’re still messing around. And now you even dare to bully a junior? Why don’t you just ascend to heaven!”
Zhu Zian scratched his head, “Director Wu, I’d like to ascend to heaven, but I don’t have wings, you see. How about Director Wu sponsors me a pair?”
“You little brat!” Teacher Wu snatched up a homework book from the desk and threw it.
Zhu Zian hugged his head and dodged.
He was so big, his appearance at that moment was indeed comical.
When Chuzheng walked in, she was greeted by a flying homework book right to her face.
She instinctively dodged, and the homework book fluttered out of the office.
Director Wu threw it at someone else and immediately stopped.
“Zhu Zian, pick up the homework for me!”
Zhu Zian saluted with his fingers together and tossed his hand upward, “At your command, Director Wu.”
Teacher Zhou was sitting across from Teacher Wu and, seeing Chuzheng come in, put down her pen.
Her gaze, somewhat sharp, swept over to Chuzheng, “Xu Chuzheng, did you force your classmate to drink milk tea?”
Teacher Zhou was a bit skeptical.
This Xu Chuzheng wasn’t good at her studies, was somewhat timid, and even slow to react.
How could she do such a thing?
However, Yu Yue and three other girls were crying and complaining, and even involved senior-year Zhu Zian.
After Zhu Zian came in, he didn’t rebut, which largely seemed like an admission.
Chuzheng stood in the middle, her calm gaze sweeping over Yu Yue and the others as she said, “No.”
“Teacher, she’s lying, she had Zhu Zian block us, saying if we didn’t drink it, we couldn’t leave,” the girl with bright red nail polish clamored.
Teacher Zhou glanced over there and said sternly, “Are you implying that Yu Yue and the others are framing you?”
Chuzheng blurted out, “Without evidence, it’s framing me.”
Zhu Zian looked at the junior girl with a strange expression, his eyes seemingly filled with shock and disbelief.
Realizing something, he scurried back to stand against the wall.
Teacher Zhou frowned and became even more serious, “Xu Chuzheng, I hope you’ll confess honestly, don’t make the teacher investigate this and find out, because your punishment will be severe then.”
“No, I didn’t, is there any evidence?”
Chuzheng deftly executed the denial trio.
The young girl stood in the office without subservience or arrogance, showing no sign of fear.
“Teacher, look at us.”
“I feel like vomiting at the thought of milk tea now.”
“Xu Chuzheng made us drink so much, Zhu Zian and the others admitted it!!”
The girls still looked pale at this point, especially Yu Yue, with tear stains on her face. Naturally beautiful, she looked even more pitiable now.
Yu Yue was not the kind of straightforward tomboy.
She knew when to cry and when to act aggrieved.
“Report,” Zhu Zian stepped forward, “When did we ever admit to forcing you to drink milk tea? Don’t slander us!”
“You implicitly agreed just now!”
“Not rebutting doesn’t mean we admit it!” Zhu Zian was defiant, the tall young man stared menacingly at the few girls on the other side, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
The boys behind Zhu Zian echoed his statement.
Teacher Wu, possibly not getting along with Teacher Zhou, had scolded Zhu Zian earlier, but now attempted to smooth things over, “Teacher Zhou, don’t jump to conclusions about this matter, let’s make sure it’s clear before saying anything, lest we wrong a student.”
“Teacher Wu, your senior students, not attending class during school time, how do you discipline them?”
Teacher Zhou’s attitude was very tough, confronting Teacher Wu directly.
Teacher Wu’s expression darkened, “Teacher Zhou, how I discipline my students is not for you to comment on.”
Teacher Zhou sneered, “It’s not for me to comment on, but now your students are bullying others, how do you explain that?”
Teacher Wu stood her ground, “Teacher Zhou, this matter hasn’t been settled yet!”
“You…”
Teacher Zhou snorted coldly.
They both turned away.
“Xu Chuzheng, I’ll give you one more chance,” Teacher Zhou spoke, “If you come clean now, we…”
Chuzheng was a bit impatient, cutting her off coldly, “Teacher Zhou, do you know about… my being bullied by Yu Yue and the others?”
With those words, the office suddenly fell silent.
