He ran all the way here, but walked very slowly on the way back.

She didn't really care about calling the parents. After all, even the parents themselves were casual about it, so she had nothing to be afraid of.

Her only worry was time. There were only 100 days left before Lao Lin’s car accident. She had to bring Lao Lin’s completed thesis back with her no matter what.

But so far, Lin's current research seems to be heading in the wrong direction.

Realizing the mistake was a new breakthrough, but this was Lao Lin’s own breakthrough after several years. How should she now reveal the corresponding information to Lao Lin?

As he was thinking, Lin Chaoxi remembered the call from Lao Lin just now.

Judging from Lao Lin's tone, the person on the other end of the phone should be his acquaintance, and he was called in specifically for a meeting with his daughter. Could it be his second spring?

She searched Gao Lin Chaoxi's memory again, and it seemed that Old Lin had no signs of looking for a second spring. So... who was the person who was so familiar with her that she could open her mouth casually...

——

The arrangement is similar to that of junior high school. The two best classes in Anning Experimental High School are Class 1 and Class 2.

She had excellent results in the high school entrance examination and was admitted to a university without taking the entrance exam, so she was assigned to Class 1. The head teacher of Class 1 was named Mei Jiu, and Lin Chaoxi was a little afraid of her.

At that time in Strawberry World, she had good results in the high school entrance examination and was also assigned to Class 1. Teacher Mei liked her very much at first, but later because of the car accident with Lao Lin, her grades plummeted and Teacher Mei often scolded her.

According to memory, Lin Chaoxi walked to the door of Teacher Mei's office and was shocked by the scene inside.

The atmosphere in the office was depressing. There were dozens of parents and students, including Teacher Mei and the dean of studies, and another teacher who was probably the head teacher of Class 8. The teachers were sitting, while the parents and students stood obediently.

Lin Zhaoxi bowed at the door: "Hello, teacher."

Dozens of gazes were directed at him at once. Lin Chaoxi bowed again and walked into the office.

"Where's your father?" Teacher Mei glanced at the door.

"My dad has a class now, so let me go first."

"With so many parents waiting, and your father not coming, how are we going to handle things?" Teacher Mei's tone was still relatively gentle.

Lin Chaoxi was about to speak when there was another knock on the office door.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a person standing by the door.

She was stunned for a moment, and everything around her became quiet, and the wind became calm. It had only been a few days, but it seemed like a long time since they last saw each other.

The visitor bowed, walked into the office, and said, "Hello, teacher."

When the voice sounded, Lin Chaoxi shuddered, raised his head slightly, and looked carefully.

He seemed to have lost weight and grown a little taller, so his features were more refined. He was wearing the uniform of Anning Experimental High School, with white letters on a blue background, which looked simple and refreshing.

Other than that, everything seems to be fine.

Lin Chaoxi pursed her lips, not feeling reassured.

The one who came was Pei Zhi.

In Gao Lin Chaoxi's memory, the deepest impression of Pei Zhi was the day he left the training camp.

After that, there was no news about Pei Zhi.

Although Gao Lin Chaoxi knew that Pei Zhi had stayed in An Ning, and even before school started, they had a meal together, but because they were not assigned to the same class, they did not contact each other as frequently as before.

In such infrequent contact, Lin Chaoxi could feel a knot in her heart. It was the knot she had when she faced Pei Zhishi, who was leaving, in the canteen of the training camp.

After a brief moment of shock, Teacher Mei came back to her senses: "Pei Zhi, if you have anything to say, let's talk tomorrow. I have something else to do here."

"I'm here because of my teacher."

Lin Chaoxi came back to his senses from his thoughts and looked at him in confusion.

"I'll take over as her parent."

Lin Zhaoxi lowered her head slightly, and the boy pointed his index finger at her.

Lin Zhaoxi raised his head suddenly and tapped his nose: "???"

Pei Zhi nodded.

Lin Chaoxi recalled what Old Lin had just said: "I've been called to the parent's office. Please go in my place."

She swallowed her saliva. What second spring?

This is much more terrifying than a second spring.

A dozen people in the office were also shocked.

The students were laughing, the parents looked at each other, and finally everyone looked at the two teachers. Everything was like a farce, she was the center of the farce, and Pei Zhi was the instigator of the farce.

"Nonsense!" Teacher Mei slammed the table, "Lin, Chao, Xi!"

A student's mother laughed softly and said, "The little boyfriend is here to help the little girlfriend?"

Pei Zhi was calm and composed, and remained unmoved.

"Lin Chaoxi's father has been my teacher since I was a child." Pei Zhi took over the conversation naturally, "The teacher has to teach now, so he asked me to come."

He explained, “And I think the main purpose of calling parents is to solve the children’s problems. If the problems can be solved, then it doesn’t matter who is here.”

"He's young, but he has such a big mouth." A parent couldn't help it.

"Then let's give it a try and see what problems you can solve?" At this time, the dean, who had been silent, looked at Pei Zhi with great interest.

Pei Zhi nodded.

The dean looked at the room full of students and parents and said, "Now, a group of children are fighting, and their parents are here too. How do you decide this case?"

There was another round of quiet protests in the office, but Director Wang just smiled and then motioned for Pei Zhi to speak.

"Where is the fight taking place?" Pei Zhi asked.

The students all lowered their heads and held back their words, and the office remained silent for another ten or so seconds.

The parents were all stabbing their own children, but the head teacher of Class 8 was looking at Pei Zhi with a bit of anticipation.

"It's not easy to solve the case, is it?" the Dean of Studies also said.

At this time, Lin Chaoxi spoke up: "It's at the back door of the school, near the small bushes on the wall."

"East or West?"

"The southwest corner." Lin Zhaoxi thought about it and roughly understood what Pei Zhi meant, "The corner where hibiscus and red-leaf plums are planted."

"Camera No. 3 on the wall should be able to capture it. Can we go to the guardhouse and take a look?"

The last three words, "Is it possible?", were addressed to the Dean of Studies.

The director was stunned for a moment, then said after a while: "Then let's go and take a look." As if to save face, she added, "But things between students are not as simple as you think."

They went from the office to the security department in a mighty procession.

In the evening, the school was quiet except for the senior students.

Pei Zhi and she fell behind and asked, "What's going on?"

Lin Zhaoxi: "They beat me!"

If it were an ordinary parent, they would probably say, "Why would they hit you if you didn't provoke them?" But Mr. Pei was different. Instead, he asked, "Do you want to hit them back?"

The boy's tone was light but serious, and Lin Chaoxi felt a little flattered.

She looked at the back of one of the people in front of her and said to Pei Zhi, "I have something to trouble you with."

——

School Security Department.

A fight that got so bad that it required watching the video was no small matter, and the Security Department was very cooperative. The staff sat in front of the surveillance camera and quickly retrieved the video of the incident for them.

After a fast forward, Lin Chaoxi saw himself.

In the picture, she was carrying a schoolbag and walking on the path in the back garden. But suddenly, she stopped, looked around, and then turned around and walked towards the southwest corner.

This video is short, but it illustrates two issues.

1. She was originally alone.

2. She will change her direction only when she encounters an unexpected event.

"Let's switch to a camera that can view the small garden in the southwest corner." said the Dean of Studies.

The staff followed instructions and began to adjust the footage from other cameras.

Hearing this, the children standing in front of the monitoring platform glanced at each other at the same time, looking very guilty.

Another surveillance video begins, the footage fast-forwards, and the actual scene appears in front of everyone.

In a corner of a garden where hibiscus and red-leaf plum trees were planted, four people, two men and two women, were working together to push another girl who looked very thin.

They seemed to want to ask the girl who was pushed to the ground for something, but when the girl refused, they not only kicked her but also threatened her with a Swiss Army knife.

At this moment, Lin Chaoxi saw himself appear on the screen, and saw himself rushing forward without hesitation, fighting one against four, and stopping the other four.

She is determined and decisive.

This person is her, and this person is not her.

Compared to her previous self, Gao Lin Chaoxi is more passionate and resolute. At a certain point in the scene, Lin Chaoxi sees herself stretching out her hand to block the knife that was threatening her.

Because Gao Lin Chaoxi deliberately made a scene, the school security arrived quickly. When the fight was over, the teachers arrived and began to catch their students and deal with the problem.

When Teacher Mei arrived, she saw blood flowing from her arm and was so frightened that she almost fainted. She directly carried her to the infirmary.

This is when she came to the cheese world for the third time.

It's simple, and the surveillance video makes this originally simple matter even clearer.

The room was silent for a while, and then a thunderous rebuke rang out: "Look at what you have done, why don't you apologize to your teachers and classmates!"

A father severely kicked his son, the boy who had cut her.

As soon as this was said, other parents reacted quickly, urging their children to apologize and begging for mercy from the dean.

"Teacher, I'm sorry."

"We were wrong..."

The bullied little girl stood in the corner of the office, wearing glasses and with bruises on her face, but she lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at those who bullied her. Her parents were clearly angry, but faced with this situation, they seemed to have no idea how to deal with it.

Lin Chaoxi even saw the bullying students secretly grinning at the bullied students.

Seeing this, she and Pei Zhi looked at each other, put down the phone that had been secretly recording, and turned around with Pei Zhi.

"Wait, where are you two going?" The dean of studies was very sharp and suddenly stopped them.

Pei Zhi had already taken out his cell phone and was about to dial, but he paused and said, "Call the police."

The parents were shocked.

"Why call the police?"

"Students are fighting and making a fuss..."

"Article 43 of the Public Security Administration Penalties Law of the People's Republic of China: Anyone who beats or intentionally injures another person shall be detained for not less than ten days but not more than fifteen days if any of the following circumstances occurs: (1) Beating or injuring another person in a gang; (3) Beating or injuring another person multiple times or beating or injuring multiple people at once." Pei Zhi's voice was calm, and he did not seem angry.

The parents looked at each other, as if they all thought Pei Zhi was joking.

Another teacher who had been staying in the room the whole time was the head teacher of Class 8, the class of the students who beat others. She couldn't help but say, "Student Pei Zhi, this matter is quite serious now. This is not the time for you to act on impulse. The teacher and the parents need to come together to discuss a solution."

"My solution is to call the police and not accept any apology." After saying that, Pei Zhi glanced at her and said calmly, "Let's go."

"Do you think calling the police will solve the problem?"

"Little boy, you still haven't been into society. Even if you go to the police station..."

"I know, so I'm calling a uncle now." Pei Zhi said.

"Are you threatening us?" the bad-tempered parent said angrily.

"Yes, you see."

"Student Pei Zhi, what exactly do you want?" The Dean of Studies finally spoke slowly.

"What do you think?" Pei Zhiwei asked her with his head down.

Lin Chaoxi nodded, took a step forward, and said, "I can let go of what happened today and not call the police. My request is very simple. I want them to never bother the girl they bullied today, and never bully other students again."

The parents breathed a sigh of relief, as if they thought this was a very simple request.

"Hurry up!"

"Of course, our children promise not to bully others again."

They urged their children.

The students also thought this was too easy: "We promise not to bully others anymore."

"We will be good, good, and study hard, day by day, and move forward..."

They made their promises one by one in a long drawn-out voice.

"Write it down," Lin Chaoxi said. "Each person should write down the details of what happened, sign their names, and put their fingerprints on it."

The children looked at each other in bewilderment, but still did as she said and signed their names after they finished writing.

Lin Chaoxi then had four confessions in her hands. She put them away, stood in front of the little girl who was bullied today, and said to the other four people, "I have kept all the videos, recordings of the conversations, and your confessions today. They are all evidence. If I find out that you are still bullying others, I will directly publish them on the Internet and file a civil lawsuit against you directly."

Lin Chaoxi thought about it and felt that it was not cruel enough, so he said: "Believe me, if the video of you beating someone up is posted online, you will definitely become the target of public criticism. During the litigation period, it will also be reported by the media, and many people will know who you are and what you have done. Maybe no university will be willing to accept you, or your employer may have read the news about you. If you still want to live a good life in the future, don't be complacent!"

For these children who are still enjoying their youth, nothing is more terrifying than the shadow of their future life. It was only at this point that the four students finally looked ashen and felt a little scared.

Lin Chaoxi looked at the dean and finally said, "I hope the school and teachers can also play a good supervisory role. Once the incident is published on the Internet, the school's reputation will also be damaged."

——

When Lin Chaoxi and Pei Zhi left the teaching building, the street lights were already on.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the night wind is cool.

Pei Zhi walked a little ahead of her, and Lin Chaoxi followed behind, actually very happy. Overall, she still solved the incident perfectly according to Gao Lin Chaoxi's wishes.

If you just ask for a simple punishment, not only can you find a way to cancel it when you graduate, but it may also cause these students to continue bullying the little girl.

But now it is a little different. With solid evidence, it not only threatens students but also parents. Even schools dare not favor these children.

These were the solutions that Gao Lin Chaoxi had thought of in the infirmary, and she simply implemented them perfectly.

For Xiao Gao, seeing a few disciplinary notices or getting some medical money is not important at all. What is important is that the bullied girl is no longer bullied.

She could really feel her strong desire to protect others. It was no longer vague and hesitant, but became very clear and persistent. Her help to Bao Xiaomeng was also changing her in this world.

The current Gao Lin Chaoxi will no longer hesitate as she did before about whether to stay in the Grade 9 (13) class.

Even if it's just a small effort, do your best.

Lin Chaoxi stretched lazily and felt really good.

Even better, of course, was Mr. Pei, who was standing in front of her. After she made the request, Mr. Pei did it very decisively, and the process was completely unlike that of a high school student.

"Thank you for today!" Lin Chaoxi couldn't help but take a step forward, patted Pei Zhi on the shoulder, and smiled at him very relaxedly, "Please go eat skewers."

Pei Zhi turned his head and saw her smile, but his face darkened.
