Ye Jiu was called away for less than ten minutes, and returned to the classroom before the break was over.
There was a moment of silence in the classroom when she pushed the door open and entered, followed by an even more heated discussion. Ye Jiu tilted her head, wondering if what she had just said was related to her? Did it have such a big impact?
Zhao Linlin said gloatingly, "I want to see how arrogant she is."
Ye Jiu didn't care about the thoughts of these insignificant people. She would rather use that time to memorize vocabulary and do some exercises.
After an afternoon of discussion, everyone in the grade knew about Ye Jiu's "deeds." The faint whispers on the road were like the buzzing of mosquitoes, impossible to shoo away or kill. Tian Tian was getting really annoyed.
"Ye Jiu, aren't you worried at all? What's wrong with these people? They believe everything they hear without thinking." Tian Tian said, waving her hands back and forth in disgust, as if she had smelled something foul.
Ye Jiu wasn't in a hurry. "Just wait and see. There will definitely be a result tonight. Why would I worry about my dad's work? Besides, I don't need to worry about the follow-up. Maybe the school will punish us tomorrow morning, hehe."
After such a big incident, Ye Jiu was called away by the dean of students in the afternoon. Without asking her what happened, the dean directly accused her of having a puppy love relationship, violating school rules, and demanded that she write a self-criticism or she would receive a major demerit.
At Mingde No. 1 High School, early romantic relationships are second only to cheating on exams in terms of severity. The school is divided equally between students with and without money. In the past, a young master's romantic relationship resulted in a death, leaving a huge stain on Mingde No. 1 High School. Since then, the entire school has been resolutely opposed to early romantic relationships. Even male and female students are not allowed to eat at the same table, and patrol teams are randomly dispatched to arrest students in the cafeteria.
Ye Jiu looked up at him. He had a fierce face, a big belly, and was shameless. He didn't ask her anything and just admitted that she had done these things.
She knew him; this head of student affairs liked Xia Banmeng, and it seemed he was some kind of relative of Xia Banmeng's family? This job as head of student affairs was also arranged by the Xia family.
Ye Jiu lowered her head and didn't refute him. She wouldn't write this self-criticism, but she made a mental note of it. She hoped he would still be the dean of students tomorrow. Also, that accent was so strange, so funny, it was so hard to hold back her laughter.
As Su Qingyue passed by, she saw a slender girl being scolded by a fat headmaster. The girl seemed afraid to argue back, and listened to the scolding silently with her head down. Her shoulders were shaking, as if she was... crying.
Su Qingyue frowned, unable to imagine what her bright face would look like when she cried.
He stepped forward and said, "Teacher, I've been thinking about the competition you mentioned last time, and I'd like to learn more about it from you. Do you have time now?"
The head of the teaching department beamed with joy upon seeing Su Qingyue, ignoring Ye Jiu completely. "Oh, it's Su Qingyue! It's wonderful that you've come to your senses. This competition is highly prestigious; a good ranking would guarantee admission. Come into my office and let's discuss this in detail."
After saying that, he strode away, no longer paying attention to Ye Jiu. Ye Jiu heard his footsteps fading away, looked up, leaned on Su Qingyue's shoulder, and laughed wildly, "I'm dying of laughter, this head teacher has an accent, you have no idea how funny it was when he scolded me, hahahahahahaha."
Su Qingyue was taken aback, then realized that she had been twitching on her shoulder because she was trying to suppress a laugh. He was completely relieved and said softly, "Are you alright? He said some nasty things, just ignore him."
"I don't care. He's got connections. Tomorrow I'll have my dad contact the principal and get him fired. He even made me write a self-criticism. Pshaw! If I don't write it, I'll get a major demerit. I don't care." Ye Jiu said disdainfully. She was a rich second-generation, after all, and she wasn't going to swallow this bitter pill.
Su Qingyue's eyes lit up with a smile. "Yes, fire him. He won't stand for this."
Ye Jiu calmed down and smiled at him, raising an eyebrow. "So, did you come here specifically to help me out? Last class too, it just so happened that you went to hand in your materials right when I was called away."
Su Qingyue readily admitted, "Yes, I was worried about you, so I made up an excuse to go and check on you. Luckily, you weren't affected."
"I don't care. They should use that time to study. I'll surpass them in the monthly exam." Ye Jiu raised her middle finger, fully expressing her disdain for these opportunists. "Oh, by the way, didn't he ask you to talk to him about that competition? Aren't you going over there?"
Su Qingyue said irritably, "You ungrateful little brat, I just helped you out of a tight spot, and now you're kicking me out."
"I don't need your help, but thanks anyway. You should go now. You said he was being rude, so don't let him get you scolded too. Besides, I need to go back to the classroom. It's so hot in the hallway. Bye." Ye Jiu waved and walked away gracefully, not even glancing at Su Qingyue who was left behind.
Su Qingyue stroked his chin, watching her graceful back, growing more and more fond of her. Only after he had watched her long enough did he turn and walk towards the dean's office, showing no hurry whatsoever.
After school, Ye Jiu stood at the classroom door waiting for Su Qingyue to pack his things. She urged him impatiently, "Hurry up, didn't you say you were going to get the cake with me?"
Upon hearing this, Su Qingyue quickened her packing and said apologetically, "I almost forgot about that."
"You're the one who spent the money, how could you forget that? You're so mean." Ye Jiu jumped up and sat on his deskmate's desk, swinging his legs. "Besides, this is the cake you ordered to comfort me, and you're still so indifferent."
"Um, sorry, I was wrong." Su Qingyue apologized readily, then slung his backpack over his shoulder. "Let's go, let's hurry over there."
The pedestrian street was a few hundred meters from the school. The two walked and talked, but Ye Jiu did most of the talking, while Su Qingyue occasionally chimed in. They soon arrived at the cake shop.
The shop owner chuckled and handed him the cake, saying, "I remember you guys. You bought a lot on the day the shop opened, right?"
Ye Jiu was somewhat surprised, "You actually remember the two of us?"
"How could I forget? You two were such a perfect couple that day, so beautiful, who wouldn't remember you, right?" The shop owner asked the shop assistants the second half of the question, and the shop assistants all agreed.
