Chapter 3: The Most Humble Moment When I Like You Eleven

  Mr. Qin looked at Li Jun's back disappearing from his sight with disappointment. Come to think of it, Li Jun wasn't a fool, how could he possibly admit that he knew Du Juan? That wouldn't be indirectly admitting that he was the culprit who destroyed the classroom of Class 1, Grade 1?

  After investigating for a whole morning, Du Juan's suspicion grew bigger and bigger. Could it be that this was the truth of the matter itself?

  Teacher Qin still can't accept it, such a beautiful and polite Du Juan with good grades has no reason to do such a thing.

  Just as Teacher Qin was at a loss for what to do, the principal's phone call came in. Teacher Qin felt very puzzled, what important matter did he need to convey personally?

  She answered the phone.

  "Qin teacher, hurry up and go to the hospital! A student named Tang Sugar in your class fainted during physical punishment!"

  Mr. Qin was shocked by the news and felt as if a hand grenade had exploded in his brain, with a loud "buzz" ringing in his ears.

  Fainted from corporal punishment?

  As soon as the person or their guardian reports to the Education Bureau, they will be considered to have lost their job, and will be dismissed immediately (here "dismissed" means fired, in Wuhan dialect) and never re-employed!

  But Tang sugar is so fat, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't seem to be in poor health. Is she pretending?

  If it's really like this, then this kid is too cunning!

  Mr. Qin was carrying a belly full of questions and inexplicable anger, rushing hastily to the hospital.

  She didn't go directly to Tang Su's ward when she arrived at the hospital, but instead came to her attending doctor first, and the two of them talked for a long time.

  When Teacher Qin came out of the doctor's office, her face was filled with regret. She really didn't expect that Tang Sugar would be such a girl!

  His prejudice against her was too strong! He was also too unfair to her!

  Mr. Qin turned around and left the hospital, bought a bunch of sunflowers and some fruit, and then came to Tang Sugar's ward.

  Tang Tang was lying in bed listening to Xia Ye tell stories about his childhood, looking very absorbed, with a pair of shining eyes staring at Xia Ye's handsome face, full of admiration.

  She is such a person who always feels that she is not good enough, and it's easy for her to admire others, thinking they are great or fantastic, and easily idolize them.

  This made Xia feel very satisfied, and he spoke with even more flair.

  Despite this, Mr. Qin's push on the door still startled them both.

  Tang sugar looked at her, and the smiling eyes that were originally full of joy suddenly dimmed like a extinguished candle. The happy face also immediately tensed up, just like a weak and fearful little white rabbit looking pitifully at her, struggling to get out of bed and timidly asking how she was doing.

  Xia Ye stood up, his originally cold demeanor becoming even colder, emitting a chilling aura like an iceberg. Although Qin Laoshi had just walked in from the warm summer sun outside, he was still frozen by Xia Ye's icy presence and shivered violently.

  "Please sit down, teacher." Xia Ye gave up her own chair to her, the words sounded polite, but it was a clear rejection.

  Teacher Qin hesitated for a moment, and somehow, every time he saw Xia Ye, he would have a very guilty conscience, as if the most dirty and ugly scenes in his innermost heart were all pierced by those wise eyes.

  Mr. Qin motioned for Tangtang to lie still on the bed and sat down in a chair himself, anxiously asking: "Are you feeling any better?"

  Tang sugar's smile looked stiff due to tension, making it hard for others to watch.

  She deliberately made her voice light and quick, with a curved smile in her eyes: "There's nothing at all, teacher, don't worry about me, it's all my brother's fault, he loves to make a big deal out of small things!"

  "Your brother didn't make a big deal out of it!" Qin teacher said with a hint of guilt.

  Tang Sugar's smile on her face completely froze, she quickly and stealthily glanced at Qin teacher, lowered her eyelids, and didn't dare to look at her again.

  After a long while, Teacher Qin remembered the flowers and fruits she had bought and placed them on the bedside table, saying sincerely: "These are from me to you, expressing my apologies."

  Xia Ye, who had been cold as ice all along, heard this and her expression seemed to thaw like snow, softening a lot. She looked at him with a respectful gaze and said: "Teacher, what's the meaning of this? My sister is your student, you don't need to be so polite, just treat her fairly."

  Xia Ye intentionally emphasized the two words "fair" very heavily, making Qin teacher's heart skip a beat, his face burning like fire.

  She didn't have the courage to continue Xia Ye's words and instead said to Tang Suo: "Get well soon, teacher has an important decision to announce after you return."

  After finishing speaking, he hastily walked out of the ward.

  In the ward, Tang sugar stared at a large bunch of sunflowers in a daze.

  One summer night, he waved his hand in front of her eyes and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

  "Do you know? Sunflowers represent 'I'm sorry'." Táng Táng said thoughtfully.

  "What's the big deal? Qin teacher owes you an apology anyway." Xia Ye said nonchalantly, completely unaware of Tang Sugar's troubled expression.

  Teacher Qin seems to know something, but how much does she actually know?

  After leaving the hospital, Teacher Qin casually found a small restaurant to have lunch. Now it's already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and his stomach has long been protesting.

  After finishing a simple lunch, Ms. Qin hurried back to school without stopping, and she searched for the phone on her own desk. There were some questions that she felt necessary to confront Du Juan about.

  Early this morning, Mr. Qin received a very long text message from Du Juan.

  She said in the text message that the culprit who destroyed the classroom was Tang Sugar. She likes class monitor Gu Xian Nian, so she staged a self-inflicted scheme. Du Juan knew all this because after school that day, she happened to leave her homework at school and only realized it when she got home, so she rushed back to school to retrieve it. Unfortunately, she just saw Tang Sugar returning to the classroom and witnessed with her own eyes how she messed up the classroom like a madman.

  She didn't say anything, just wanting to give Tang Sugar a chance to start anew. However, three whole days passed and it seemed like that wasn't possible, so she had no choice but to report him and implore the teacher to show mercy.

  The words of Du Juan were very sincere, and Teacher Qin immediately believed everything she said. Now that I think about it, at the time, I had already formed a preconceived notion in my mind, deciding that Tang Tang was a bad kid. So when I called her out of the office this morning to interrogate her, no matter how she defended herself, it all sounded like excuses to Teacher Qin. Du Juan is a good student, and whatever she says, her teacher will easily believe her.

  Actually, at that time, if one thought carefully, there were many loopholes in the message. The most important point was that after Tang Sugar and Xia Ye locked the classroom door, Tang Sugar quietly returned alone to sabotage. But she didn't have the classroom key on her hand, how did she get in?

  Besides, there is another place to check, that is the school's surveillance. Qin teacher rushed back to school and checked it out, but the surveillance only showed Tang Sugar and Xia Ye walking out of school together after class that day, with no record of them returning.

  Really... someone is framing her!

  Teacher Qin didn't know whether to be happy or sad, Tang Sugar was innocent, and on the contrary, it proved that all of this was a good show arranged by Du Juan in advance. Then why did she spend so much manpower and resources? Was it just because she didn't like Tang Sugar? It seemed not that simple!

  Suddenly, a flash of lightning cut through Qin teacher's brain, and the place that couldn't be understood suddenly became clear!

  Is she... for Gu Xiannian? ? ? !!!!

  Teacher Qin was both shocked and amused. Gu Xiannian, that kid is really not bad! He looks delicate, his grades are good, and his temper seems to be okay too. He's just the kind of guy that a 15 or 16-year-old girl would have a crush on!

  However, Gu Xi Nian seems to have had contact with Tang Tang Xian, and it's actually Du Juan who has been in frequent contact with Gu Xi Nian, which is a bit like puppy love.

  In the face of such things, as long as it doesn't affect studies, Teacher Qin usually adopts an open-minded approach, turning a blind eye.

  Besides, who hasn't had a youth? Thinking back, I liked a boy so much that I was willing to die for him!

  No matter how jealous you are, you can't frame someone like this!

  Teacher Qin is strict, with no room for even a grain of sand in his eyes.

  Mr. Zhao saw Mr. Qin come back and immediately started rummaging through his desk, so he asked with concern: "What are you looking for?"

  "A mobile phone I put on the table is gone." Qin teacher replied while searching.

  "Is it a domestic mobile phone? I handed it over to your student Gu Xianian."

  Mr. Qin heard this and hastily rushed to the classroom.

  The bell for class just rang, and the English teacher is already standing on the platform starting the lesson.

  Mr. Qin interrupted her with an apologetic tone: "Teacher Wu, I'm sorry, but I have something urgent to discuss with Gu Xianian and Du Juan."

  Gu Xian and Du Juan started to feel tense from the moment Qin Laoshi appeared at the classroom door. Although they also knew that what was destined to come would eventually arrive, when truly faced with it, they still felt afraid.

  Now hearing Mr. Qin and the English teacher say that they don't need to attend this English class anymore, I feel that the situation is serious, and our little hearts are beating wildly, slowly standing up from our seats, exchanging surprised and fearful glances, asking each other: Why did Mr. Qin specifically call just the two of us? Is it... that thing?
