Chapter 45: The Unstoppable Trouble Event

  The soft sunlight of dawn poured in, and Su Yisuo slowly opened her eyes. For a moment, she was unaccustomed to the strong light, and she looked up at the window - she had forgotten to pull the curtains again last night.

  She got up drowsily and walked to the window, suddenly pulling up the curtains. The room instantly darkened. Su Yisu was satisfied only then.

  She dragged her feet to the table, nervously picked up her phone, hoping for an unconnected call or unread message. But... except for the usual quiet home screen, there was nothing.

  Maybe it's too early? Su Yisu looked at the time and comforted herself.

  Thinking about it, I had no choice but to turn off the silent mode, put down my phone and went to wash up.

  She ate breakfast absent-mindedly and Su Yisuo went upstairs with a dazed expression, not even hearing Shen Xiulan calling her from behind.

  "What's wrong with this child?" Shen Xiulan looked at Su Yisuo's back, which was heavy with thoughts, and couldn't help but mutter to herself. Finally, she nodded knowingly and shook her head, continuing to do her own work. At the age of a girl from a good family, who is just beginning to understand emotions, what else could be on their mind besides those romantic feelings?

  Su Yisuo had just stepped into the room when her phone rang, she hastily rushed over, for the first time feeling that this ringtone was so pleasant and moving!

  But on the screen was prominently displayed "Su Yi Xin's telegram".

  Su Yisu's mood immediately fell from the peak to the trough, and even her tone became lazy, with a look of "whatever", "Huh?"

  Sui Yi Xin heard the obviously unwilling tone on the other end, and suddenly got angry, shouting: "Sui Yu Su! Did I really have a feud with you in my previous life?"

  "Maybe," Su Yisuo replied perfunctorily.

  "Ah-ha," Xie Yixin seemed to have figured it out, "If I'm not mistaken, you've had another fight with that person from your family, haven't you?"

  "What's going on now!"

  Su Yi Xin shrugged, "Alright, maybe I used the wrong words, but did I guess right?"

  "Mind your own business!"

  "It seems I was right. Ah, my mood has suddenly improved. Ah, Su Yisuo, Yin Shi is so much fun, come with me next time and I'll take you on a tour of the streets and alleys, it's absolutely going to make you forget about Sichuan."

  "Not! Interested!" Su Yisuo was so angry that she gritted her teeth, didn't she see that the other person's mood wasn't good?!

  "Never mind, I won't tell you, no good deed goes unpunished." Su Yixin hung up the phone.

  Who wants your kindness! Su Yisu glared at her phone, flipped it over with a bad temper, threw it on the table, and let out a deep sigh before falling onto the couch.

  "Jiang Fengchen... you'd better explain things to me..." With a handful of long hair that was almost reaching her waist, Su Yisu couldn't stop thinking about what had happened to Jiang Fengchen and why he wasn't returning her calls.

  It wasn't until the afternoon that Jiang Fengchen's call finally came. At that time, Su Yisuo was taking a nap, and because she had been thinking about this matter in her heart, she lay on the couch for a long time before falling asleep, and just as she did, the phone rang.

  Because she was worried about missing any calls or messages, Su Yisuo didn't put her phone on silent mode even during her nap. As soon as she heard the familiar ringtone, she sprang up from the bed like a conditioned reflex and quickly rushed to the table to pick up her phone.

  "Chen!" The tone couldn't help but tremble, wu wu... Jiang Fengchen, don't torture people like this.

  Jiang Fengchen did not respond with the same excitement as Su Yisuo, his tone carrying an inexplicable fatigue.

  "Sui Su couldn't help but worry, 'Chen, what's wrong?'"

  "From the beginning, I..." Jiang Fengchen wanted to speak but stopped, unsure of how to continue.

  "Jiang Fengchen! Tell me the truth! What is it? Don't be vague with me, what's going on here!" Su Yisu was furious, having waited for so long, and this was how he treated her?!

  "Alas..." Jiang Fengchen let out a heavy sigh before continuing, "Yisu, I might... have to drop out of school..."

  "What's wrong?" Su Yisu was startled by Jiang Fengchen's words and almost dropped her phone, "Chen, what's going on?!"

  Jiang Fengchen let out another sigh before slowly saying, "That day when I sent you off at the train station, I went to an internet cafe. For some reason, I got into a conflict with a few young thugs. I stood up for myself and exchanged a few blows with them. I couldn't take it lying down, so I fought back and punched them a few times. The situation escalated, and when the internet cafe staff couldn't calm us down and were worried about affecting business, they called the police and had us taken away..."

  This time Su Yisu was thoroughly frightened, what had she experienced? She always thought that being beaten up was something that only idle and uneducated hoodlums would do, why did it happen to Jiang Fengchen? Those things that seemed so far away from her suddenly happened to her boyfriend, and she was instantly scared out of her wits, unable to say a word.

  Later, the police station also notified the school and called my parents... Jiang Fengchen's hoarse voice continued to come, "My class teacher bailed me out and took me back to school. I thought this matter would pass like this, but when I returned to school with my parents, I found that the principal was waiting for me in his office, saying he wanted to understand the situation, fearing it would have a bad influence... Those social youth refused to give up, shouting loudly at the school gate, insisting that I had started it first and wanting me to compensate for the damages... My parents were so angry that they took me home, locked me up, and didn't let me go out anywhere. The principal said this matter has a great negative impact, everyone knows about it now, and we need to see how to deal with it... I have a feeling, the school will expel me, even if the school doesn't expel me, my dad won't let me return to school either... He thinks I've lost face for him.

  Su Yisu listened to Jiang Fengchen's suppressed sobs, feeling his deep pain and fear. Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, but she was afraid of affecting Jiang Fengchen's emotions, so she forced the tears back out of her eye sockets. She took a deep breath, trying to make her tone sound normal, before saying: "Chen, it's okay, school won't be that heartless, and... your parents can't just ignore you like this, right? Once they calm down, things will get better. It's not a big deal."

  "It's okay, I don't know..."

  "Chen, believe me, everything will be alright." Su Yisu could only try her best to persuade Jiang Fengchen that everything would settle down. Although the words sounded so pale, although she couldn't even convince herself, was this matter really that simple?

  The school has always been mindful of its reputation, worried that negative news would affect enrollment rates. It is usually very strict in managing students, not allowing them to go to internet cafes, not allowing casual outings, and requiring students to wear their uniforms and badges every day. When dealing with incidents, the school does not show favoritism or leave emotional space. This time, the troublemakers were not just students among themselves, but also involved social personnel, and those few hoodlums made it known to everyone, so how could the school possibly cover up the news and let it slide?

  Jiang Fengchen didn't say anything, probably he also thought this possibility was extremely small.

  Su Yisu knew this topic was no longer suitable for further discussion and hastily changed the subject: "Are your injuries severe?"

  "It's nothing serious, just rest at home for a few days and you should be fine." Jiang Fengchen replied calmly.

  Su Yisuo didn't understand, Jiang Fengchen was afraid she would worry so he pretended to be relaxed. Would a street thug show mercy? And it was several against one. But Su Yisuo also didn't say anything, hesitating: "I... can I go take a look at you?"

  "No!" As soon as Su Yisu's words fell, Jiang Fengchen hurriedly refused. After thinking for a moment that his tone was a bit heavy, he slowly explained: "My parents won't let me go out, and it's not good if you come either..."

  "Chen......" Su Yisu finally couldn't help but burst into tears, "I'm sorry, I can't help with anything..."

  "Foolish me, it's not your fault. These things are all caused by myself, I should be the one to blame, and have nothing to do with you."

  "But..."

  "Enough," Jiang Fengchen interrupted her, "just remember, I love you."

  "Chen, I love you too." Su Yisu silently shed two lines of clear tears.

  The two of them talked for a long time before hanging up the phone, and by the end, it was Jiang Fengchen who ended up comforting her, but Su Yisu became more and more uneasy, even though Jiang Fengchen repeatedly emphasized that he would be fine.

  What will the future be like? She suddenly felt a little confused. It's as if time had frozen, even if it flowed backwards, just don't move forward, don't start school, and don't wait for the principal's punishment to come down.

  As long as time is fine.

  But the sun still rises and sets, time passes day by day in an orderly manner.

  Due to the holiday period, the school also suppressed the news as much as possible, saying that all matters would be dealt with after the start of school. However, the incident of the young hooligans making a big fuss at the school and demanding an explanation eventually caused a stir throughout the city. It seemed like someone was pushing from behind, and as soon as this matter subsided slightly, another wave of discussion arose, with some people even standing on the side of the young hooligans, demanding that the school give an explanation, saying that social youth also have their own dignity, and students have no right to cover up this incident for the sake of students. The online forums were frantically debating this matter, with some people saying that as a student, Jiang Fengchen should not have entered the internet cafe and caused trouble, while others said that social youth are inherently prone to causing trouble. The overwhelming public opinion elevated this fight to an unprecedented level.

  Jiang Fengchen's parents, seeing this situation, couldn't calm down their anger that had been building up. Jiang's father was furious and beat Jiang Fengchen, completely restricting his freedom.

  Under pressure from public opinion, the school finally spoke out. Given the serious impact of this incident, the school will mediate and negotiate with the parties involved, requesting a peaceful resolution. The negotiation results will be announced in due course. However, as for how the negotiations went with those social hoodlums, the school didn't reveal even half a word, only saying that they were still working hard to reconcile.

  No one is stirring up the waves anymore, and public opinion has finally come to a stop. Perhaps they have achieved their goal.

  Su Yisu and Jiang Fengchen became increasingly uneasy, fearing that something unexpected would happen again. However, the little rascal was only asking for compensation, so it should be easy to negotiate, right?

  Both of them were anxiously waiting for the start of the new semester.
