Chapter 768 Is it not ridiculous to be a teacher?
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Teacher Li questioned sternly, her reproachful gaze fixed on Shen Min: "Shen Min, you've only just transferred to the school and you're already fighting with your classmates? Do you know you're a repeat student? Shouldn't you be focusing on your studies?"
"I'm sorry, teacher, I know I was wrong." Shen Min lowered her head, not denying that she had hit him, but taking the initiative to admit her mistake.
Although she didn't really think she had done anything wrong, she was afraid of losing the opportunity to repeat a year because of this incident. She lacked the confidence to stand up for herself and only hoped that the school would not punish her.
The other two girls couldn't help but smile smugly at her pathetic appearance.
One of the girls looked at the teacher and said, "Teacher, we don't want to share a room with her. She turns the light up really bright every night, and it makes it hard for us to get any rest."
"Exactly, the lights are still on late at night, making it seem like they're working so hard."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Li frowned: "The dormitory lights go out at 11 p.m., where did you get the light?"
"There's no light, teacher." Shen Min quickly explained, "It's a photo taken with my phone. I just wanted to review more. After they first reminded me that the light was too bright, I started studying in the hallway outside the dormitory after the lights were turned off, so as not to disturb them!"
"How could it not disturb you? There was noise when you went back to your dorm, closed the door, and got into bed!"
"Yeah, it's really noisy!"
Shen Min looked at them with a wronged expression, her eyes brimming with tears.
Only those who have wronged you know how wronged you are. She always tiptoed around, afraid of making a sound. Later, she simply stopped climbing into bed and would just lie down on the chair to sleep after finishing her studies.
But these people just bullied her. From the first day she moved into the dormitory, they looked at her as if she were an outsider.
She was indeed from the countryside and couldn't understand the strange topics her classmates were talking about. Even though she was wearing designer clothes that Sister Lianxing had given her and carrying an expensive bag, she still couldn't hide her rusticity.
She also knew that some people were secretly talking about her behind her back, saying that she was a country bumpkin and that her clothes were all fake.
She couldn't fit in, and she didn't want to force herself to. She was there to study for her college entrance exams, and she didn't care about any of this.
It wasn't until these people turned their attention to Sister Aci, throwing foul rumors and speculations at her, that she finally reached her breaking point.
But in the end, it wasn't her who started it; the other person pushed her first, and she retaliated in anger.
"Shen Min, you need to understand that while studying is important, you also need to maintain good relationships with your classmates. You can't be too selfish in your dealings with others!" Teacher Li reprimanded her, blaming only her from beginning to end, while remaining silent about the other two students, as if it were all Shen Min's fault.
Shen Min looked at the teacher and said weakly, "But teacher, they were the ones who bullied me first..."
"Bullying you? Why are they bullying you? Why don't they bully others?"
What a perfect example of victim-blaming.
Teacher Li's words only fueled the two girls' arrogance: "Who bullied you? We didn't bully you. Don't talk nonsense here."
"Exactly, still crying. But just because someone cries doesn't mean they're right. Load the cargo."
Every word those two said felt like a knife stabbing into Shen Min's heart. She couldn't help but shout back, "You were the ones who insulted my sister first and pushed me! Do you dare say you didn't start it?!"
Shen Min's voice was not loud enough, so much so that all the teachers in the office subconsciously looked up.
Teacher Li immediately flew into a rage and raised her voice to scold, "What are you shouting for? Even if they hit you first, it's wrong of you to hit back!"
This statement, clearly a fallacy defending the other party, made Shen Min stare at Teacher Li with wide eyes in disbelief.
And it was this sentence that Shen Ci, who had just walked to the office door, heard every single word of.
"Teacher, you're a teacher, how could you..." Shen Min was speechless, looking helplessly at Teacher Li, feeling as if her worldview had been shattered.
Shen Ci walked into the office without knocking, his face expressionless, and headed straight for Teacher Li's workstation in the corner.
Hearing footsteps, Teacher Li subconsciously looked in Shen Ci's direction. Shen Min also turned around, and upon seeing her sister, she immediately tensed up: "Sister..."
Shen Ci walked closer and stopped, her gaze fixed on Teacher Li.
Teacher Li's throat tightened under Shen Ci's gaze, but she still tried to remain calm and asked, "Are you Shen Min's parent?"
The next second, without saying a word, Shen Ci raised his hand and slapped him across the face.
"Smack!"
The solid, crisp sound clearly reached everyone's ears in the office, and the teachers who had been secretly watching the commotion widened their eyes in surprise.
Including Shen Min and those two girls.
Ms. Li was stunned. It wasn't until she felt a burning pain on her face that she snapped back to reality. Humiliation and anger surged in her heart, and she was about to get up and retaliate the next second.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ci's cold voice followed: "I did hit you, but it's wrong of you to fight back."
Teacher Li froze abruptly. Shen Ci raised an eyebrow and stared at her sharply: "Isn't that the truth? You just said it yourself?"
The air in the entire office seemed to freeze at that moment; it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"Parent, calm down! You absolutely cannot resort to violence!"
At this moment, an older teacher who was closest to the teacher couldn't help but speak up to offer some words of comfort, but was silenced by a cold glare from Shen Ci.
Shen Ci suddenly sneered: "Now you know to speak up? When this person was spouting nonsense and fallacies, why didn't any of you say a word of justice?"
"To be a teacher? Isn't that ridiculous?"
After saying that, Shen Ci turned his head to look at the two girls, who shrank back in fright, afraid that Shen Ci's slap would hit their faces in the next second.
Where are your parents?
Shen Ci naturally wouldn't make a move again, but simply looked at the two and asked.
The two girls' arrogance vanished instantly, and one of them obediently said, "My parents don't have time..."
"Me too……"
Shen Ci laughed again and looked at Teacher Li: "So, even if the other party hit someone, the parents don't have to come. What's the point of calling me here alone? Are you implying that my sister and I will get scolded as well?"
As she spoke, Shen Ci pulled out a chair and sat down, crossing one leg over the other. She looked at the teacher and warned, "Call the other party's parents to the school right now, or I'll smash up your office!"
The teacher was completely intimidated by Shen Ci's aura, but remained silent and unresponsive for a long time.
Shen Ci raised an eyebrow at her: "What? Can't afford to offend her?"
