Yuan Yuan and Ye Qingyan closed their eyes tightly. Shao Junli rushed forward, but they didn't receive the slap that everyone had imagined.
Shao Junli slammed on the brakes and remained stationary.
Ji Yuzhi's hand finally landed on Zhen Tian's head, first rubbing it twice and then patting it gently. His palm slid down Zhen Tian's hair to behind her ear and finally landed on her cheek, his thumb rubbing under her eyes twice.
"I'm sorry." His sudden apology shocked the four onlookers: "I failed to protect you."
Zhen Tian smiled, raised her hand and placed it on his palm, rubbing her cheek against his hand: "I'm not blaming you."
Ji Yuzhi didn't speak, his gaze remaining fixed on her.
Zhen Tian added, "You can't blame yourself. It was my carelessness. It's not your fault."
Ye Qingyan looked away, her eyes filled with a mixture of envy and jealousy.
Shao Junli's thoughts were complicated. He wished he were the one standing in front of Zhen Tian, comforting her and being comforted by her. But that was her brother, and he had no official status or relationship with him. How could they compare?
In contrast, Yang Feiguang and Yuan Yuan were much calmer.
The doctor had long since returned to his office, and Zhen Tian's leg was bandaged up like a mummy.
Yang Tian had already had a little showdown with the homeroom teacher of Class 18 outside. As homeroom teachers, they naturally all care about their students. And Xiao Lei, being pretty, naturally receives more favoritism.
Before things could be resolved, Yang Tian dragged the homeroom teacher of Class 18 and the two students to the infirmary.
Xiaolei avoided eye contact the moment she saw Ji Yuzhi.
Ji Yuzhi never doubted Zhen Tian's words, especially seeing the girl's obvious guilty expression.
The homeroom teacher of Class 18 did not expect that the child was injured so seriously. The child's face was so well-behaved when he came into view. He was not as tough as he was when he talked to Yang Tian outside.
"We can't draw conclusions yet. At least you need to find evidence to prove that it was two girls from my class who did it. I can't just make my child apologize for no reason," the homeroom teacher of Class 18 said to Yang Tian in a kind and gentle tone.
"What other evidence do you need? Can't you see the injury?" Yang was furious. "And look at this! Look how swollen your ankle is! What if it leaves any long-term effects? Will you take responsibility, or will these two students in your class take responsibility?"
“I saw the injury, but you can’t say it was done by one of my students. You have no witnesses and no physical evidence.”
"So you're going to stick your tongue out at me, huh? This student wouldn't have done something so immoral if you hadn't been so lenient with him. This could be considered murder, and I could call the police and have him arrested, you know? If it weren't for the fact that the student is still a minor, do you think I'd give you that kind of face!"
The two teachers were talking animatedly, their faces turning red and white in turns.
Xiaolei and her companion stopped being arrogant and stood there pretending not to participate in the two teachers' conversation. They only pretended not to know anything when the teachers asked if they had done it.
"You're quite the actor," Ye Qingyan sneered. "Weren't you very arrogant before? Go ahead and be arrogant then."
"How can you talk like that, student? Old Yang, you need to discipline your students properly."
"How could I say that? You didn't see how awful the things your students said before. Anyone who didn't know better would think they were some kind of big sister who'd been around for years. You were angry because your scheme to seduce a man failed, so go after whoever you're angry with, why take it out on us young girls?" Ye Qingyan pointed at Xiaolei and recounted the scene of her seducing a man on the stage: "And now you're pretending to be a pure white lotus? How disgusting."
"Hey, Lao Yang, you need to give me an explanation. How did you end up teaching your students like this..."
The two teachers started a new round of battle.
Shao Junli and Yang Feiguang were completely dumbfounded.
Ji Yuzhi got annoyed and interrupted, "That's enough."
His words surprisingly worked. The two teachers who had been rambling on stopped, and all eyes in the room turned to him. "What's there to say? Ask the principal to check all the school's surveillance footage. If the footage isn't there, find witnesses. If this can't be resolved, tell the principal that Zhen Tian's brothers will be coming back again."
"Furthermore, the final solution to this matter must be for the parents of these two individuals to personally apologize to Tian Tian, and for these two individuals to make a self-criticism in front of the entire school and receive a major demerit."
“I don’t accept any other outcome. If it weren’t for this result, the principal would know what he would face. The college entrance exam is coming up soon, and I don’t mind transferring schools. Of course, the same goes for Lu Yiran.”
Ji Yuzhi and Lu Yiran's names are probably known to every teacher in the school.
Old Yang and the homeroom teacher of Class 18 fell silent upon hearing this.
“This is coercion, this is a threat,” the girl next to Xiaolei was the first to jump up in protest.
"I am a threat." Ji Yuzhi was not afraid of any rumors. He never left any room for maneuver in his actions, although his temper had improved a lot in recent years. Otherwise, he would have sent them directly to the correctional facility.
"Ji Yuzhi, you can't do this to me." Xiaolei looked up, her eyes filled with tears.
What are you?!
Xiaolei took a step back when she saw the coldness in Ji Yuzhi's eyes.
"I want to see an apology at the school assembly next Monday. That's all."
"Let's go home." Ji Yuzhi reached out and picked up Zhen Tian.
"Can I have a piece of strawberry cake?" Zhen Tian blinked. She had originally intended it as a reward after the long run, but now it could also be used as compensation and appeasement, since she wanted to eat it anyway.
"good."
"Could I add two more macarons?" she asked tentatively, pushing her luck.
"Can."
"Then I also want to eat takoyaki and hot dogs..."
Their voices faded into the distance.
Ye Qingyan and Yuan Yuan exchanged a glance, and Yuan Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "This brother is so handsome!"
"Then you didn't see what happened with Miler last time, and how Sweetie's other brothers reacted." Ye Qingyan was a woman who had seen a lot.
Old Yang recalled how, in the end, the principal personally escorted Zhen Tian's brothers out of the house when the matter with Mi Le was resolved. Although he didn't know what had happened inside, he was now full of confidence.
"Did you hear that? There's no way you can do something without leaving a trace." Old Yang looked smugly at the homeroom teacher opposite him: "Go back and guide your students in writing self-criticisms. They can't be less than 3,000 words."
He watched with glee as his homeroom teacher's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and then waved his hand, saying, "Kids, let's go."
Yang Tian walked in front, followed by Yang Feiguang and Shao Junli, and then Yuan Yuan.
As part of the fighting force, Ye Qingyan gave Xiao Lei a disdainful sneer before leaving.
Seeing the woman's indignant expression made her happy.
