Li Mengmeng sprinted towards the Academic Affairs Office at top speed, running until she was covered in sweat. As soon as she arrived at the office, she ran into Yue Jiaoyang, who had just come out of the office. What was he doing here?

It turned out that Yue Jiaoyang felt that the punishment for Chen Niannian was a bit too severe after reading the notice, so he came to the dean of students' affairs to explain what he had seen and then asked the dean of students' affairs to be lenient.

Just as Yue Jiaoyang finished speaking, Li Mengmeng rushed in, her face streaked with tears, and said urgently, "Teacher, there's a fight on the playground! Quick, Chen Niannian... is being beaten..."

Yue Jiaoyang, who was standing at the door, didn't even hear what was said before he took off running towards the playground.

He frantically circled the playground before finally spotting Chen Niannian, whose face was covered in blood and bruises.

Seeing the resolute expression on the face of the once confident and lively girl, Yue Jiaoyang felt a pang of pain in his heart. Regardless of whether it was appropriate or not, he pulled her up and held her hand tightly.

Chen Niannian's hands were so cold, she was trembling, and Yue Jiaoyang could clearly feel Chen Niannian's anger and grievance.

The dean of students and the teachers from the police station followed closely behind. Upon seeing the chaotic scene and recognizing Chen Niannian's familiar face, the dean of students felt a headache coming on.

The police officers first took the tall girl, whose head was covered in blood, to the hospital.

The head of the teaching department then led the group that had been fighting back to the academic affairs office.

"Chen Niannian, can't you just shut up and stop causing trouble? You've been involved in two fights in a row. Don't you know how to reason? Have you wasted your education?" The head of the teaching department hadn't even heard what had happened, but seeing that Chen Niannian had beaten someone up to the point of needing to go to the hospital, he immediately started criticizing Chen Niannian.

"Teacher, I think you should find out more about the situation before making a judgment." Yue Jiaoyang didn't want Chen Niannian to suffer any more grievances this time, so he questioned the teacher without hesitation.

The teacher, annoyed by the question, thought, "How dare a student question me? Isn't this a challenge to my authority?"

Just as I was about to reprimand this classmate, I looked up and saw that it was Yue Jiaoyang. I heard that this classmate had a lot of power behind him, so it was better not to offend him.

He was in the academic affairs office just now, and his tone was very protective of Chen Niannian.

"Yue, as the class monitor of Chen Niannian's class, you did a great job. You stopped Chen Niannian's violence in time. There's nothing for you to do now. You can go back to the classroom. The teachers will handle the rest later."

"As the class monitor, I must make sure that my classmates are not bullied. I'll stay here!" Yue Jiaoyang said in an uncompromising tone.

After saying that, he ignored the distorted expression on the dean's face and helped Chen Niannian sit down in a comfortable position.

The head of the teaching department glanced at Chen Niannian, whose face was bruised and still in shock, then pointed to Li Mengmeng standing next to her and said sternly, "This student, tell me what happened just now."

“Teacher, the three of us were taking a walk on the playground… I came to find you, and Liang Xinyu stayed behind to help Niannian. You all saw what happened after that.” Li Mengmeng quickly and concisely recounted the events clearly.

The head of student affairs then pointed to another chubby female student, "Then this student, you tell us why you are disciplining Chen Niannian."

"Teacher, they're talking nonsense. We were walking on the playground and accidentally blocked their way. This student named Chen Niannian said something about good dogs not blocking the way, which angered Wang Meng. So we argued with them, and then we started fighting."

The Wang Meng mentioned by this chubby classmate is the tall girl who is currently lying in the hospital.

"You're distorting the truth and spouting nonsense. You were the ones who started this trouble first!" Liang Yuxin was furious as she heard her accusations against Chen Niannian, and she involuntarily raised her voice to defend herself.

"You're talking nonsense, saying Wang Meng was beaten up like that."

"It's you mad dogs biting people indiscriminately."

The teaching affairs office was in an uproar and chaos.

"Shut up, all of you!" The head of the teaching department slammed his fist on the table and shouted angrily. As expected, the students were still afraid of their teachers, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.

"Which class are you all in?" After the head of the teaching department asked, everyone answered their respective classes. Unexpectedly, these girls were high school sophomores.

"I'll call your class monitor over to pick them up. When you get back tonight, each of you should write down what happened and what happened. Tomorrow I'll go to your respective homeroom teachers to find out what's going on. Right now, I'm going to the hospital to see Wang Meng and Chen Niannian. Who in this school can bully you? You're the one who bullies others!" The dean of students looked heartbroken.

"Teacher, Chen Niannian also needs to go to the hospital; she's injured too," Yue Jiaoyang, who had been silent all along, said calmly, but with a hint of anger.

"That's right, Nian Nian is bleeding too! She's seriously injured!" Li Mengmeng shouted angrily.

Chen Niannian was careful to protect her head and face during the fight, but even so, there were still some scratches on her face and neck. These scratches were oozing blood, and although there wasn't much, it still looked quite creepy.

The most serious injuries were on her body; when you rolled up her trouser legs, you could see they were covered in bruises.

It's already December, and everyone's dressed quite warmly, but even so, people are still getting kicked and beaten, leaving them with all sorts of bruises.

Although the injuries were not serious, they covered a large area and looked quite frightening, causing Liang Yuxin and Li Mengmeng's eyes to immediately redden.

"I'll go to the hospital with Niannian," Liang Xinyu said urgently.

“You all go back to your classrooms and write your self-criticisms carefully, making sure you write everything in detail. I’m the class monitor, and I’ll go to the hospital with the teacher,” Yue Jiaoyang said in an unyielding tone.

"Alright, you can all go back now. Yue Jiaoyang and I will take Chen Niannian to the hospital first. You should all reflect on this."

At the hospital, Chen Niannian touched her bandaged wound and whispered, "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Yue Jiaoyang, sitting next to Chen Niannian, said in a gentle tone that he himself didn't even realize.

“You’re a girl, you don’t need to work so hard. If something similar happens again, just run away. If you don’t want to tell the teacher, just tell me and I’ll help you solve it.”

Chen Niannian looked up at Yue Jiaoyang in surprise, "Why did you help me solve it?"

"Because I'm the class monitor, I have to help every student in the class," Yue Jiaoyang said, offering a flimsy excuse that even he himself didn't believe.

Hearing this, Chen Niannian felt a surge of warmth in her heart and couldn't help but marvel at how people in this era still have a strong sense of collectivism and are quite warm-hearted.

Then she felt relieved that such a good boy was someone she was lucky not to have married Chen Ya-wen in her past life, otherwise he would have been ruined by her.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, waiting for the teacher to come over.
