At 9 p.m., Su Xun walked from the subway station to the entrance of the No. 1 Middle School. Several teaching buildings were still lit up, and the school's evening self-study ended at 9:30 p.m.
She spoke with the gatekeeper and entered the campus, heading straight for Lingyun Building, the teaching building for the senior high school students. The name was carefully chosen, implying soaring to the clouds.
Mr. Zhang, the homeroom teacher, was around fifty years old and a very easy-going male teacher. When he saw Su Xun coming, he welcomed her into his office and explained He Manli's situation to her.
"Miss Su, please have a seat." Teacher Zhang poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Su Xun.
"Thank you." Su Xun had graduated from high school many years ago, and Teacher Zhang's image was very similar to her former homeroom teacher, which unconsciously brought a sense of warmth to her.
"Manli is actually a pretty good girl, and she's lovely. It's just that what happened this time has really had a bad impact. She's already in her final year of high school, and she should focus all her attention on her studies." Teacher Zhang sat down on the opposite stool and discussed his thoughts on He Manli.
“Manli is rather mischievous and has caused you trouble at school,” Su Xun replied.
He Manli came from a wealthy family and developed a fearless personality. In the years that Su Xun had known her, he had heard a lot about what happened to her at school. Sleeping in class and not doing homework were minor issues, but leading the way in not wearing school uniforms and violating school rules and regulations made her a headache for the teachers.
These things were all mentioned unintentionally by He Chengzheng. Although he was divorced, he still loved his daughter quite a bit and granted her almost every request, wanting to give her the best of everything. It was just that he was usually busy with his career and neglected to discipline her, which is why she turned out this way.
The reason He Manli's parents were called in this time was because she was really out of control. She confessed her feelings to the class monitor of the next class, and after being rejected, she blocked him in the corridor and forcibly kissed him. Many students passing by saw it, and it was even captured on camera. The impact was quite bad, so they had to ask her parents to come and educate her.
Su Xun was quite shocked after hearing the whole story. Most people wouldn't have the courage to corner someone in a stairwell and force a kiss on them; the young girl's courage was commendable.
Think of how reserved they were back then; truly, the younger generation surpasses the older.
The bell had just rung when a figure rushed in through the door. He was panting as he leaned on the doorknob, his eyes fixed intently on them.
Su Xun glanced at the door. Taking this incident as an opportunity, He Manli must have been reprimanded by the school teachers quite a bit. She obediently put on the oversized school uniform, and her eye-catching golden hair was dyed back to its original color and tied up high with a hair tie. She finally looked somewhat like a student.
She strode over and asked immediately, "Old Zhang, you didn't say anything bad about me to this woman, did you?"
Hearing He Manli's address to the homeroom teacher, Su Xun almost burst out laughing. In the past, they also liked to give their teachers all sorts of nicknames, but they always did it in private and no one would say it to the person in front of them.
He found it amusing, but outwardly he had to maintain a serious demeanor and solemnly reminded her, "Manli."
He Manli didn't even glance at Su Xun, and continued to wait for Teacher Zhang to speak.
Teacher Zhang sighed, glared at her, and his mustache seemed to stand on end: "You child, what bad things could I possibly say about you? Hurry up and pack your things and go home with your sister. You have to attend morning self-study tomorrow."
"She's not my sister," He Manli muttered to herself, standing still.
Su Xun was already used to He Manli's attitude. Fearing that she might say something inappropriate, he had no choice but to get up first to say goodbye to the teacher and then lead He Manli outside.
