Chapter 74: The True Rebel 54

  Yao Xia pushed me. 5

  "Everyone is gossiping about you and Lin Rongxuan being in a romantic relationship. Is it true?" the principal asked again.

  I shook my head. Lin Rongxuan and I were indeed not in a romantic relationship, it was just his one-sided wish, I had never acknowledged it before, this is the fact.

  "Alright," the principal stared into my eyes, "I believe you're a good student and a good kid. Being bothered by Lin Rongxuan is your misfortune. Don't worry, this time he'll probably be locked up and won't bother you again."

  "Why?" I asked conditionally, feeling a chill run down my spine. Lin Rongxuan was only seventeen years old, and if he really got locked up, with his proud personality, his life would be ruined for sure.

  "Because he is suspected of selling ecstasy." The principal's face was expressionless and almost cruel as he said "What a shame for the school."

  "Is there any evidence?" Yao Xia asked loudly.

  "The police caught a suspect last night and he gave away Lin Rongxuan. He got new goods, if they find evidence of his crime, he will go to jail."

  I felt a wave of dizziness "Principal, is there no way to save him?"

  "Save him?" The principal sneered "I'd love to find his dirty secrets and let the police praise our school, that way the great righteousness of killing one's own kin can make up for the black mark Lin Rongxuan left on our school."

  I feel like there's a dampness in my eyes that's spinning around. When it comes to benefits, everyone is so selfish.

  "Principal, if there's nothing else, I'll be going back."

  I feel that if I stay one second longer, I will die immediately.

  At home, I have the protection of my parents. At school, I thought that even if the principal didn't protect us, at least he wouldn't betray us. But the principal of this school actually hopes his students go to jail.

  My world is very cold.

  Is Lin Rongxuan's world even colder?

  "Wait," the principal called out to us as we were about to leave. "Yōu Huán, I hope you can win this year's city English competition championship and bring honor to our school." He then handed me a thick English book on possible topics that might be covered in the competition.

  I refuse to compete for this principal, I don't have any obligation at all.

  "I don't want to go."

  The principal's face turned black.

  "You should know, one representative is chosen from each grade, and you're the one we've picked as our grade's representative. How many people are eager to go?"

  It's true that it's every student's responsibility to make their school proud, but if the schools don't protect us, do we still have an obligation?

  "Let them go then."

  Yao Xia supported me as I walked out of the office.
