Zhou Mo didn't listen any further, but quickly turned around and left.
"Senior sister, where are you going?" Zhao Xiaoshuang asked after suddenly realizing it.
"nothing."
Zhou Mo didn't look back and hurried downstairs.
…
afternoon.
Chu Xia has returned from the hospital with her wound bandaged.
Instead of going home to rest, she went to see Professor Yuan.
She said she was injured and inconvenient, and needed a student to help her.
What he meant was that he wanted to take Ren Huaibo back.
Professor Yuan looked at Chu Xia's hands that were wrapping the rice dumplings and was also hesitant.
But he still said: "Since you are injured, go home and rest."
Chu Xia responded quickly, "I have quite a few projects on hand. Don't you want results as soon as possible this year? It's only a few months away and this year is over. Without anyone to help me, there's no one to work on my projects."
Professor Yuan saw that Chu Xia was determined, so he didn't refuse immediately. Instead, he threw the question to Ren Huaibo, "Xiao Ren, you decide for yourself. Do you want to follow Teacher Chu or Teacher Tai?"
Chu Xia turned her gaze to Ren Huaibo.
Ren Huaibo hesitated, "I..."
Chu Xia's eyes were filled with shock.
"Ren Huaibo, I've devoted all my efforts to tutoring you over the past few months, and you treat me like this? Do you know how my hand got injured? It was Tai Ning. She burned me on purpose."
Chu Xia felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke.
Ren Huaibo didn't dare to look at her, his eyes avoided.
"Say something!" Chu Xia asked emotionally.
"Teacher Chu, I will follow Professor Yuan's arrangements."
Ren Huaibo's indifference made Chu Xia freeze in place.
"What do you mean?" Chu Xia demanded, "Are you still obsessed with her? That woman is so vicious, what are you thinking? I'm hurt, can't you see?"
Ren Huaibo turned his head away.
Chu Xia then turned her attention to Professor Yuan. "Professor Yuan, I'm injured, isn't it? You can't ignore my condition. I'm a senior professor at the academy, and Tai Ning is just a newbie. I definitely have more experience in teaching students than she does, right?"
Professor Yuan didn't want to make things too awkward, and since Chu Xia swore that Tai Ning had harmed her, Professor Yuan hesitated.
"I won't interfere in your private affairs. I just want my students to be nurtured by a responsible teacher," Professor Yuan said coldly and selflessly. "Based on the current situation, Teacher Tai is the most suitable person to train Xiao Ren."
"I'm going to find the college leaders and ask them to judge the case for me," Chu Xia said, feeling wronged, and turned to walk out.
As soon as I opened the office door, I almost bumped into someone outside.
Tai Ning took a half step back to prevent Chu Xia from touching him and then committing fraud.
"Teacher Chu, you don't need to go to the leadership," Tai Ning gestured to her with the USB drive. "The surveillance video will determine who's right and wrong. It's all in here. Do you want to play it in public?"
Chu Xia was stunned for a moment.
"You think there's not enough news about the academy lately?" Tai Ning said with a smile, "How about I send you on another wave of trending searches?"
Chu Xia suddenly shuddered.
Of course she understood what Tai Ning meant.
The previous hot search was because the chat records with Ren Huaibo were dug out.
This time... she knew even more clearly that she had deliberately scalded herself when she was fetching the water, hoping to use a self-torture tactic to win Ren Huaibo's heart and make him change his mind.
Unexpectedly, before even a day had passed, Ren Huaibo was already hesitant about staying with her.
Seeing Chu Xia's originally arrogant attitude, Tai Ning instantly lost his temper. Since they were colleagues, he did not do anything extreme.
She explained, "I think Teacher Chu has been too tired recently, and her memory is confused. She accidentally touched me and burned herself, right, Teacher Chu?"
Chu Xia stared at Tai Ning in a daze.
Since Tai Ning has given her a way out, if she continues to make trouble now, the situation will be even more dire.
Tai Ning said there was video evidence, which would be released in due course, and Chu Xia didn't dare to think about it. She would find out the truth that she had burned herself.
"Yes," Chu Xia gritted her teeth and replied softly, "I remembered it wrongly."
Tai Ning smiled like a winner, very proud, "Now that everything is cleared up, Teacher Chu, you should go home and rest. You are so seriously injured that you are not fit to go to work."
Professor Yuan also suggested: "Teacher Chu, you should take a leave and go back to rest."
"Hmm," Chu Xia looked dull, as if she had lost her soul.
The arrogant and domineering attitude just now disappeared, and he left like a zombie.
Tai Ning watched Chu Xia leave. She said to Professor Yuan very politely, "Professor Yuan, sorry to bother you. I'll take Xiao Ren and leave first."
"Go ahead."
Tai Ning turned and walked out of the office. Seeing that Ren Huaibo hadn't caught up yet, she sternly reminded him, "Go, what are you standing there for?"
Ren Huaibo was speechless and could only follow.
When Tai Ning went down the stairs, he deliberately walked very slowly, blocking Ren Huaibo.
Ren Huaibo couldn't stand it anymore, so he dodged left and right, then passed Tai Ning and got ahead of her.
Tai Ning deliberately cried out "ouch", twisted her handrail while holding onto the stairs, and kicked off her high heels.
All I heard was the clanging of high heels rolling down the stairs to the landing.
Ren Huaibo turned around upon hearing the voice and looked at Tai Ning with a cold gaze, as if asking, what was she playing at?
Tai Ning limped and said, "My shoe fell off accidentally. Pick it up for me."
"Pick it up yourself." Ren Huaibo made a gesture to leave.
"I'm going to pick up those fake papers of yours myself..."
Ren Huaibo suddenly stopped.
"There's a story in ancient times about Zhang Zifang helping an old man like Huangshi pick up his shoes. I'm your teacher after all, so helping me pick up my shoes wouldn't be a shameful thing to do, right? Besides, I know you're lying, huh?"
Ren Huaibo looked grim and extremely forbearing.
Tai Ning had the upper hand over him and wanted to deliberately humiliate him and take revenge on him.
Ren Huaibo knew it very well, but he had no choice but to do it.
She held her breath and walked to the staircase to pick up her high heels.
Tai Ning raised her foot slightly and said, "Put it on me."
Ren Huaibo wanted to explode, but he finally held it back and helped her put on her shoes.
Tai Ning sneered, "Don't you like touching women's feet?"
Ren Huaibo's face turned black and red.
Of course he knew what Tai Ning meant.
"I wonder what Teacher Chu's feet are like? Are they also as delicate as the tips of lotus roots and crisp bamboo shoots, barely thick enough to fit in one hand?"
"That's enough!" Ren Huaibo couldn't stand it anymore.
"What am I good enough for? I'm not good enough! Far from it! Isn't this all in your chat history? Lotus root tips and crispy bamboo shoots? Aren't you afraid of getting athlete's foot in your mouth?" Tai Ning snorted coldly. "You can rely on Chu Xia, but you'd better know what's going on now. Don't piss me off, otherwise... I'll make sure you leave the academy!"
"Don't push your luck!" Ren Huaibo was also angry. "Let me tell you, my uncle is very influential. He was the one who called me back to Dongjiang. This is his territory. If you push your luck any further, you won't have an easy time!"
"Are we going to fight to the death? Come on!" Tai Ning also risked everything. "Ren Huaibo, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
