Chapter 29 I Want to Protect You Too
Lin Qingxu turned and looked at Kan Zhenzhong. Perhaps it was not polite to speak to an elder like that, but it was obvious that rationality took the back seat at this moment.
"Uncle Kan, you shouldn't just listen to what Kan Zhao said and what Fang Hao did."
*
The two boys outside the house have always had a good relationship with Fang Hao.
But just a few threats from Qiao Yang betrayed their fake friendship.
Fang Hao is indeed a scumbag, taking advantage of Qi Ke's power to bully others.
From threatening others to help him cheat in exams to bribing and forcing girls who don't like him to be with him, his nine years of compulsory education were wasted.
"What's the matter with Fang Hao using drugs? Has he used it before? Has he forced other girls?" Lin Qingxu asked them.
"No, no, no, he just bought it," the boy stammered. "I guess he hasn't had time to use it yet."
"So what did you mean when you said before that he let you sleep with his girlfriend? Did he have the desire to force himself on girls before?"
"That woman originally did this, she just changed her bag." said another person.
"Are you sure this is the truth?"
"right."
Lin Qingxu looked at them with a piercing gaze. "If you fabricated the information just to help Fang Hao escape the charges, your fate will be no better than Fang Hao's. You have one minute to correct what you just said."
"It's absolutely true. We are telling the truth." They both said in unison.
"Okay." Lin Qingxu pushed open the door of the principal's office.
Looking at her figure, Qiao Yang behind her murmured to himself in confusion: "It feels a little different from what I imagined."
Ruan Yanyan crossed her arms and said meaningfully, "You know nothing about her."
——This is the prequel.

"Kan Zhao took action because Fang Hao and several other boys were using extremely obscene language to discuss female classmates in the restroom."
Lin Qingxu paused for a moment: "... Specifically, he was sexually humiliating me. This constitutes sexual harassment under the law."
Lin Qingxu felt Kan Zhao's grip on her hand increase slightly for a moment, then quickly decrease. It was like he was holding a fragile treasure.
She continued, "Yesterday afternoon around four o'clock, in the lab building. Fang Hao and two other boys were smoking, and I happened to be passing by. I heard him say, 'Lin Qingxu, why are you pretending to be so noble? Wait until I give her some drugs and see how she can still act like that.'"
Lin Qingxu naturally didn't hear this, but the time matched, she did pass by there yesterday and did see Fang Hao there.
When he heard that the drug was given, Kan Zhenzhong's face turned pale.
The other teachers and the principal also looked unhappy. They had seen Lin Qingxu grow up since he was a child. Even if Fang Hao's idea had not been implemented yet, this matter could not be let go easily.
"You are slandering me! My son would never say such a thing!" Fang's mother's voice trembled, her fingertips turned white due to the force, and her carefully manicured nails dug deeply into the palm of her hand.
This is illegal! If she admits it now and it gets out, how will her son live his life in the future? Even their entire family will be implicated. This matter must not be allowed to become a reality!
Fang's mother's voice was sharp as she glared at Lin Qingxu, "Evidence, yes, evidence. How dare you say that without any evidence! You're slandering me!"
Lin Qingxu responded calmly, "To prevent bullying, every classroom in the school has recording cameras installed. Everything Fang Hao said should have been recorded. The two witnesses are also outside. If you don't believe me, you can ask them directly."
Wang Hong interjected at the right time: "Student Lin Qingxu is both virtuous and academically excellent, and has always been the pride of our school." The implication is that the school trusts Lin Qingxu more than Fang Hao.
Fang's mother's face turned pale.
At this moment, the significance of Fang Hao's beating had been greatly reduced in her mind. Although her son's injuries were serious, fortunately, Kan Zhao was able to stop him in time, and no more serious consequences occurred. At least, Fang Hao's life was safe.
Now, a more serious problem faced her. If the evidence in Lin Qingxu's hands was true, Fang Hao would not only face legal sanctions, but also ruin his entire future. Compared to the temporary physical pain, this threat truly frightened her.
Lin Qingxu noticed that her attitude wasn't as strong as before. He smiled at her and said, "In my opinion, this is just an ordinary fight. Minor bumps and scrapes are normal, right?"
Lin Qingxu walked forward and leaned in to whisper, "Fang Hao is back."
Fang's mother's pupils suddenly shrank. She was obviously unprepared for this news. Her face was full of disbelief and disappointment.
"According to Article 66 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, □□ may be detained for a period of not less than ten days but not more than fifteen days. If you insist on calling the police to address today's fight, I'd be happy to provide them with this evidence."
"Fang Hao is out of danger now. He should be able to keep up with physical training after recuperating for a while. But I'm not sure if the youth training program will still want him after this incident came to light. Even if he doesn't take the college entrance exam as a sports student, will universities consider admitting a student with such a tainted record?"
"Nonsense!" Fang's mother screamed and rushed over
Lin Qingxu took a step back, and Kan Zhao immediately stood in front of her.
"Your son is sixteen years old now and will bear full criminal responsibility. Are you sure you want to ruin his college entrance exam qualification and even his future just for a minor injury today?"
"If Fang is willing to write a letter of guarantee, promising to behave properly in the future and withdraw all charges against Kan Zhao, I am willing to forgive him for his past actions."
"But if Auntie insists on sticking to her previous idea, there's nothing I can do."
Lin Qingxu looked at her and said calmly, "My mother's company has the best legal team in Yicheng..."
Fang's mother's lips were trembling, her carefully drawn eyeliner was blurred by tears, and she stared at Lin Qingxu hatefully.
She pointed at Qi Ke, who had been silent for a long time, and said, "You can't protect him too, right?"
Qi Ke, who was suddenly hit by Q, looked at Lin Qingxu.
Lin Qingxu didn't know that Qi Ke was also involved in this matter.
Wasn't he on the same side as Fang Hao? Why did he throw a couple of punches?
But Fang's mother didn't give her that much time to think.
Lin Qingxu thought that it was a brave act anyway.
"It was just three guys fighting," she said.
The cowardly man who had been silent for a long time took the initiative to speak, knowing that there was no way out. After all, his son's crime was more serious. "Then let it go."
Lin Qingxu smiled faintly: "Thank you, uncle and aunt, for your understanding."
After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Hao's parents had no choice but to suffer the loss, and finally ended the farce with the Kan family paying all medical expenses and nutrition expenses during the period.
As long as they didn't get involved, Lin Qingxu knew that the school would not punish Kan Zhao too severely.
Leaving the parents of both parties in the office to discuss subsequent matters, Lin Qingxu took Kan Zhao to the infirmary for bandaging.
Just now when Kan Zhao stood in front of her, Lin Qingxu subconsciously wanted to cry.
But she held back.
She will threaten Fang Hao's parents later, so she can't suppress her momentum at the beginning.
But now she felt like crying.
The two of them walked side by side, but kept a subtle distance between them. When they were young, Kan Zhao would hold her hand, and when they grew up, Kan Zhao would hold her wrist, but now there was nothing.
Kan Zhao walked in silence, his face sullen and gloomy, his knuckles white from clenching his fists too tightly. Lin Qingxu quietly took a half step towards him, trying to hook her fingers with Kan Zhao's, but he dodged.
Lin Qingxu paused, slowly lowered his hands and lowered his eyes.
Silence stood between the two of them like an invisible wall.
After walking a few more meters, Kan Zhao turned his head to look to his side, as if sensing something.
Why is it that when some people cry there is no sound?
He sighed inwardly.
Those tears that slid silently gathered into a river in my heart, turning into bitter moonlight.
Kan Zhao stopped and bent down to look her in the eye. His warm fingertips wiped the moisture from her cheeks and eyes.
His voice was very soft: "Lin Xiaoxiao, why are you crying?"
*
The school doctor neglected his duties. The infirmary was open, but the doctor was missing.
Kan Zhao took an ice pack and applied it to Lin Qingxu's eyes.
Putting the cart before the horse. She was clearly here to take him to treat his wounds. Lin Qingxu avoided his hand and didn't want to talk.
It was really embarrassing that Kan Zhao saw the tears I couldn't hold back.
Why was she crying? She didn't know, it was like a natural physiological reaction because of Kan Zhao's sudden indifference.
The perpetrator held an ice pack to her eyes.
Doing this in the winter season is more like a joke. After all, the whole process from crying to stopping takes less than a minute, so there is no need for ice compress.
Let Kan Zhao stay here alone.
Lin Qingxu turned and left.
Kan Zhao realized that he seemed to have gone too far and quickly grabbed her wrist.
The movement was too great, and the dark red scabs on the joints of his hands broke open again, and blood oozed out from the wounds. Kan Zhao took a breath of cold air in an exaggerated manner, and sure enough, he saw Lin Qingxu stop.
The final result was naturally that Lin Qingxu took the cotton swab and iodine and carefully treated his wound.
Lin Qingxu's eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Kan Zhao, why are you angry?" she asked.
"...You know how dangerous it was in the principal's office just now. The water was boiling. If I hadn't reacted, you would have been burned, understand?"
"But if I don't go, won't you get hurt too?"
"That's different."
Kan Zhao said solemnly: "As for those things...I can handle them by myself."
"and……"
Lin Qingxu suddenly stretched out his hands and gently held his face.
Slowly approach.
Kan Zhao paused, his Adam's apple rolling.
She touched her forehead to his.
It seems that this way you can transmit your thoughts to others.
"But I also want to protect you, Kan Zhao."
