Chapter Thirty-Two

  Yang Rui hadn't finished praying when the head teacher spoke again, "You few, these days, tighten your skin for me. If your grades are not up to par, I'll come and collect you. Hurry back to your seats." The group of people immediately dispersed, and Yang Rui also quickly got ready to slip away with his butt raised.

  "Yang Rui, stop right there! Who told you to leave? Did I say you could go?" The class teacher's loud shout stopped Yang Rui in his tracks. Yang Rui immediately pulled back the foot he had stretched out and stood up straight, looking very sincere and solemn, with a reflective expression on his face.

  "You can't even behave yourself properly in class, always causing trouble. Last time something happened in class, you weren't there, but you were so idle. Tighten your skin, if you do it again, I won't let you off easy! Your grades aren't good enough this time, and I'll punish you severely. We'll settle both old and new accounts together." The teacher finished speaking and walked away.

  When she saw her homeroom teacher walk out of the classroom, Yang Rui immediately collapsed to the ground, Wang Zhiqiao hurried over to pull her up and patted the dirt off her body.

  "Are you okay?" Wang Zhiqiao looked at Yang Rui's pale face and blamed herself in her heart, why didn't she discover it earlier, otherwise she would have been able to speak out and remind her in time.

  "Do you think I look like nothing's wrong? Yang Rui weakly rolled her eyes, she definitely didn't check the almanac before coming out today, and now she's offending the small people! How unlucky, heavens! I've always been good to you!"

  "What's going on?" Li Huan walked in from outside the classroom, saw that the class atmosphere was not right, and looked at Wang Zhiqiao again. He only saw her using her body to support Yang Rui, and immediately ran over to ask. As soon as he finished asking, he received a cold stare from both Wang Zhiqiao and Yang Rui. Li Huan suddenly felt like Dou E, or even more wronged than Dou E. He had just asked one question, but was glared at by those people.

  "Go back to your seat!" Wang Zhiqiao said to Yang Rui, who was floating outside the window, and sent her back to her seat. At the same time, she also returned the water cup that Yang Rui had given her. Alas! It seems that she is destined to have this calamity. If only she could take a glance at herself when Wang Zhiqiao reminded her, she would have discovered the existence of their class teacher. But at that time, she was too excited and didn't look at herself carefully, and simply handed over the water cup. It's really a bad omen! Wang Zhiqiao couldn't help but sigh. The class teacher is indeed stealthy, as if she has been trained in it.

  Wang Zijiao returned to his seat and had just sat down when Li Hui couldn't help but ask Wang Zijiao again what had happened earlier, why Yang Rui seemed to have been severely injured. Wang Zijiao gave Li Hui a white eye again. Li Hui closed her mouth in frustration and stopped asking, thinking to herself: she was still as defeated as ever in front of him, all her principles were broken by him, and she had become more and more nagging, what happened to the old her?

  "The class teacher just came in and caught Yang Rui red-handed, who was talking non-stop at that time. In the end, it's still your fault. If you hadn't brought a group of people over, Yang Rui wouldn't have been surrounded by a group of girls asking questions, and he wouldn't have been caught either. You're the troublemaker." Wang Zhiqiao didn't want to bother with him at first, but thinking about Yang Rui's misfortune, she felt that all this was caused by the culprit behind her back. He still dared to ask, seeing him naturally without a good face, and seeing his expression of being detached from the matter, she couldn't help but criticize him, making him realize his mistake. How could he be so carefree at a time when Yang Rui was so unfortunate?

  Li Hui thought she wouldn't bother with him, but when he suddenly saw her turn around, he was taken aback. However, upon hearing what Wang Zhiqiao said after turning around, Li Hui suddenly felt that it would have been better if she hadn't turned around at all - everything she said was an accusation against himself!

  "No wonder I saw the class teacher coming out of the door when I came back earlier, but I don't think it's my fault. It wasn't me who made her talk about it, and those girls weren't asking questions because of me either. Why is everything my fault?" Li Hui bluntly pointed out all the facts, feeling that she couldn't just be labeled with these random accusations. If she had really done something wrong, she would take responsibility for it, but since she hadn't actually done anything, what was there to take responsibility for?

  In Wang Zijiao's opinion, he was just making excuses. It was obviously his fault, but he still dared to say such things, which was simply infuriating. Everything had started from him bringing that group of boys over, and yet he refused to admit it. Thinking back to when the boys arrived, she had thought they were there to cause trouble for Yang Rui, and remembering how she had been surrounded by a group of men, feeling embarrassed and helpless, made her feel even more resentful towards Li Miao. He still dared to say such things, Wang Zijiao couldn't hold back her tears, which began to flow out, as various feelings of grievance surged up in her heart, thinking that he had gone too far.

  Li Hui was startled by her tears, looking at her pouting mouth, extremely wronged and looking at herself, Li Hui's head suddenly became two big ones, feeling like she was the sinner of all eternity.

  "What's wrong, I didn't say anything serious. Don't cry, okay? Or your eyes will get swollen and turn into goldfish eyes." Li Hui softly comforted Wang Zhiqiao, her voice extremely gentle. Patiently coaxing Wang Zhiqiao. Wang Zhiqiao pouted, tears flowing even more fiercely, "You're a bad person, you bully Yang Rui, and now you're bullying me, you're not a good person."

  Li Hui listened to her accusation, his heart aching wave after wave. It seemed that she still had the emotions of being intimidated by Zhang Yang and those guys before. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have brought them here so easily. All at once, there were so many people, and perhaps in his eyes, they were all bad people, and she must have been scared.

  No matter how hard I try, I always lose. Li Miao didn't say a word, carefully wiping away Wang Zhiqiao's tears. Whatever he said now would be wrong, it seemed he had been too careless after all.

  "You still don't admit your mistake." Wang Zhiqiao saw that he didn't say a word, thinking that he was stubbornly refusing to acknowledge his error. He had done something wrong and yet refused to admit it, which was too much for her to bear. Her tears flowed even more fiercely as she dodged Li Miao's hand, not wanting to be touched by such a despicable person. She realized that she had misjudged him.

  Li Hui looked at his empty hands, only to realize he had done something wrong again. He should have gone along with her train of thought, or else she would still be wondering what was going on. "It's my fault, I shouldn't have brought them here, I shouldn't have mentioned Yang Rui in front of them, I shouldn't have let Yang Rui speak before the class teacher arrived, I shouldn't have let a group of girls surround Yang Rui and ask her questions, I shouldn't have asked you questions, I shouldn't have refused to admit my mistake, I shouldn't have made you angry, I shouldn't have let those boys talk to you..." Li Hui began to reflect on his actions. Wang Zijiao heard him say this and slowly stopped crying, staring at him with tears in her eyes, accusing him of only admitting his mistakes so late. Li Hui looked at her red eyes, gently reached out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and saw that she didn't pull back. Wang Zijiao pouted, and Li Hui used both hands to hold up her face, looking into her eyes, and softly said: "The thing I shouldn't have done most made you cry. Can you forgive me?"
