Chapter 19 First Kiss 4

  Xia Xianying walked into the classroom, but when she reached the door, she hesitated: where should she sit? Should she sit in her original seat or the new one that had been arranged? She decided to sit in the new one. Although her old seat offered a view of the scenery outside the window, she was his girlfriend. As soon as this thought occurred to her, an image flashed through her mind: Ling Shuiyue standing in the snow...

  Ni Shi Luo walked into the classroom and saw Xia Qian Jing sitting in her new seat, with a look of disdain on her face: "Get up! Are you trying to show off to me? Let me tell you, yesterday's thing was... Yao intentionally provoking me, because we've been in a cold war for the past few days. I hope you don't overthink it..."

  "You mean you're going to sit here, right?"

  "You... I'm telling you, Yeo loves me, not you... You..." Ni Shi Luo's face turned bright red.

  "I know. So, to avoid disturbing you again, I chose to sit here and not intervene in your discussion about right or wrong. If you're unhappy with me sitting here, then I'll go back to my original seat..."

  Nils interrupted Xia Qian Ning's words: "No need! Just sit here!"

  "Xia Qian Ning! The class teacher has summoned you!" Class monitor Song Xi Wei called out to her.

  Xia Qian Ning put down her school bag and walked towards the office. She had skipped class herself, so she would be punished.

  "Come in!" Mr. Wang said loudly.

  Xia Qian Ning cautiously pushed open the door. Teacher Wang was scolding Ling Shui Yao, and upon seeing Xia Qian Ning enter, said: "You come over, you two, skipping class together, is that right? At such a young age, not studying hard, but instead talking about romance?"

  "No! Teacher, you misunderstood." Xia Xianying argued in a low voice.

  "Really? All the schoolmates know it, I've received the video! Do you want me to replay it again?"

  "That teacher must not have looked carefully, I......" Xia Qianying was still explaining, Ling Shuiyue pulled down her hem and gave her a signal to stop explaining.

  Xia Qian Ning had just arrived and didn't know that Teacher Wang was the kind of person who hated it when students talked back and refused to admit their guilt. Whatever he said, went, with no distinction between right and wrong. In front of him, there was no room for argument, and the more you tried to explain yourself, the heavier the punishment would be.

  Xia Qian Ning was in a hurry to explain and didn't notice Ling Shuiyue's small movements.

  "Look at you two! What's going on? Xia Wenjing! He's pulling your sleeve and making eyes at you, what's that all about? You can't tell me you don't know?! Wang Laoshi's eyes are sharper than Sun Wukong's fiery golden eyes!"

  Xia Qian Ning turned around to look at Ling Shui Yao, did she still not think that her death was miserable enough? "Tell Teacher Wang about it, tell him what our relationship is, and who Ni Shi Luo is to you?"

  Teacher Zhang, who was sitting in the office, laughed and said, "Female student! Do you want to question him about his infidelity? Go ask him outside. Your teacher Wang is still fuming with anger, do you want to infuriate him to death? You're really bold to bring your romantic affairs into the teacher's office."

  The more I explain, the more confusing it gets. Mu Si Xue turned to her homeroom teacher Wang: "Teacher! Please believe me! I've only been here for a month, I barely know him, how could we possibly be in love?"

  Mr. Wang's face was stern: "Following your logic, Ni Shi Luo is even more impossible, she just returned from the UK and came to this school yesterday, so it's even less possible for her to be in a romantic relationship."

  Xia Qian Ning was speechless, facing such a teacher, she didn't know how to clear herself.

  "Alright! The school has rules, students with poor grades are not allowed to date. Xia Qian Ning, you just transferred here and don't have any test scores yet, so we'll refer to your entrance exam scores instead. I took a look at your entrance exam scores, by the way, your entrance exam was based on the September monthly exam papers, very fair, and you ranked 84th. Unfortunately, that means you're not allowed to date." Teacher Wang's pointer wagged back and forth in front of Xia Qian Ning, exuding an air of authority: "Skipping class plus not being allowed to date, two crimes punishable by two weeks of cleaning the gym!"

  Teacher Wang turned to Ling Shuiyue: "Ling Shuiyue! You're too arrogant! This semester is not even halfway through, and you've already received punishment ten times. How can you be so disdainful of the school's rules? Being first in class means nothing if you can just do whatever you want! Detention for two weeks in the gym!"

  Ling Shuiyue walked away after hearing Wang Laoshi's verdict. Xia Qianjing was still standing there, not understanding what had just happened, everything came so suddenly that she was at a loss.

  "Xia Qianying! Girls shouldn't be in a relationship, even if the school allows it. I trust you, don't let this affect your studies, at your age learning is the most important thing. You had such good grades when you entered school, and you'll definitely get into a good university in the future. Ling Shuiyue is too handsome, it's not a good thing for boys to grow up like that, they can be ruined by just a little bit of corruption... keep your distance from him..."

  Ling Shuiyue walked out of the office and found that Xia Qianying had not come out yet. Ugly eight, still not trained enough, didn't want to come out. He turned around and went back to the office, holding Xia Qianying's hand: "Teacher! We will get the school permit!"

  Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang looked at the backs of the two people, smiled, and tiptoed to the office door, stopping to listen. As expected, the two people stopped less than ten meters after walking out of the office.

  Xia Qian Ning shook off Ling Shui Yao's hand and asked, "Who are you to us? Why don't you speak up? Why don't you defend yourself?"

  "You're new here and don't understand. With Teacher Wang, you can't make excuses. Whatever he says goes, and the more you try to explain, the heavier your punishment will be."

  "He said there was a video, didn't he? With a video, what's there to be afraid of? The video can prove everything."

  "Are you sure you want to watch the video?"

  "Hmm, how could it be......" Xia Xianying felt that it was unlikely, so soon, who would have done the editing.

  "Some people are good at taking photos and calculating time, silently, with just a facial expression. It was spread very quickly, after the first class yesterday, the whole school knew about it."

  "How come I didn't see it?"

  Ling Shuiyue took out her phone to show Xia Qianying, but Xia Qianying hastily stopped her: "Quickly delete it! Quickly delete it!"

  Ling Shuiyue, how could he delete it? He put away his phone: "Everyone in school has it, can you delete them all?"

  "Didn't you delete it?" Xia Xianying took out her phone and dialed Ling Weiy's number.

  Ling Shuiyue snatched Xia Xianying's phone and saw that she had dialed half of the number: "I know, I know! Delete it!"

  "Everyone in the school must be deleted!" Xia Wen's heart was racing with anxiety.

  "Please! How can I possibly do it?"

  "I'll always have to go home." Xia Wenjing turned and left.

  "You... must get it done within today!" Ling Shuiyue shouted at Xia Qinger's back.

  Ling Shuiyue hastily returned to the office, and Teacher Wang and Teacher Li saw Ling Shuiyue quickly turn around and sit back in her seat.

  "Teacher Wang! I have a request. This video must be deleted, everyone has to delete it!" Ling Shuiyue rushed over quickly, speaking even faster.

  Teacher Wang feigned solemnity: "I know. How could the school let this kind of video spread among students?"

  "Thank you, teacher!" Ling Shuiyue bowed and walked away.

  "Teacher Zhang smiled and said: "Teacher Wang! Do you think they are really in a romantic relationship?"

  "Who knows, doesn't look like it though."

  "Why? Who's the most handsome in our school, Ling Shuiyue, but he's never been rumored with anyone before, this is the first time. I saw that video, it seems like a love triangle." Zhang teacher said with an unyielding and gossipy tone.

  Teacher Wang also smiled: "Just looking at the silent video, it's like that. But I asked our students, and the girl seemed to be fine, but Ling Shuiyue didn't know. You see just now, when the girl turned her face, Ling Shuiyue came over to ask for the video to be deleted."

  "Hey, Wang teacher, you're really observant. I wouldn't have thought of it if you didn't mention it. But that girl doesn't look particularly good, men are all visual animals after all. This Ling Shuiyue is indeed special."

  Mr. Wang retorted, "What, you men are all visual animals, as if you women don't use your eyes at all. However, that girl is really pretty. Haven't you seen her wearing a pair of broken glasses and long bangs covering half her face? Is she hiding her beauty?"

  "What did you say? I've lived so long, I've only heard of covering up ugliness, but I've never actually heard of covering up beauty."

  "That day she came to the principal's office, I saw her resume and also met her in person, super beautiful. Good grades, good looks, plays the piano well, seems to have some national ranking too. This student is one that I myself wanted, originally the principal was going to assign her to class 9, but... I snatched Xia Fengying away, yet lost Ling Shuiyao. Alas! You tell me, isn't this retribution in this life? I snatched Xia Fengying from Teacher Liu, yet not a few days later, Ling Shuiyao returned to Teacher Liu's side. Alas——!" Teacher Wang sighed again.

  After listening to Mr. Wang's words, Mr. Zhang also felt a sense of emotion.

  "Hey, don't tell Liu Laoshi from Class 9 that I poached his student," Wang Laoshi reminded.

  "So you have to tell me the truth. You arranged for them to be punished together, did you think they really had something going on?"

  "You still know how to be a role model? Looking at your expression, you must be guilty."

  Who is the most gossiping person in this world? The teacher!
