The students in Class F had long disliked Xiao Yingying's shrewish and unreasonable behavior. When they learned that she had been taken in for questioning by education bureau staff for physically punishing students, the atmosphere instantly became heated.
The girls gathered in small groups, whispering about what kind of punishment Xiao Yingying would receive.
The boys were even more excited, jumping up and down like rockets.
Even the usually composed Cheng Cheng started swaying to the increasingly suggestive online songs sung by the boys.
Li Wanwan cupped her rosy cheeks in her hands, her lips curving upwards with joy. Her eyes, hidden behind thick glasses, turned into two crescent moons. "Classmate, do you think Xiao Yacha has any chance of turning things around this time?"
"That depends on her," Ling Mo said calmly.
Li Wanwan's eyes widened in astonishment as she asked, "Could it be that even a video of her physically punishing students isn't enough to bring her to her knees?"
“Indeed not, at most it will be a warning.” Ling Mo shook his head, paused for a moment, and then added mysteriously, “Although the video of her physically punishing students is not enough to kill her, I believe that with her not-so-bright brain, she can definitely bring about her own demise.”
"What do you mean?" Li Wanwan became even more curious when she saw how confident Ling Mo was.
"The time is not right yet, let's wait a bit longer."
Ling Mo lazily narrowed his eyes, then slammed the book shut and walked out of the noisy F class.
She was just about to find a quiet place to rest for a while when, unexpectedly, the boisterous Gu Tingbai dragged her out of the teaching building.
"Gu Xiaobai, don't you have to go to class?" Ling Mo's narrow, almond-shaped eyes sparkled like gemstones under the blazing sun, revealing a faint amber hue.
"Sister Mo, it's extremely urgent! I just heard that when Xiao Yacha was taken to the meeting room by the Education Bureau for questioning, she used a self-inflicted injury trick. Before they even started questioning her, she closed her eyes and pretended to faint. Right now, she's flirting with Third Brother in the school clinic."
"???"
Ling Mo was speechless, not expecting Xiao Yingying to be such a coward.
She fainted before the education bureau staff even started asking her questions?
"Sister Mo, you'd better go to the school clinic quickly! If you don't go soon, Third Brother will be snatched away by Xiao Yacha." Gu Tingbai became more and more nervous as she spoke, fearing that Qin Beiming would be bewitched by Xiao Yacha.
"Gu Xiaobai, you're underestimating Master Qin too much, aren't you? Even Lu Jinjiu couldn't seduce Master Qin, so how could Xiao Yecha possibly do it?"
Ling Mo yawned, remaining unmoved no matter how Gu Tingbai tried to persuade him.
At the same time, Qin Beiming, who had rushed over to explain to Ling Mo that there was no ambiguous relationship between him and Xiao Yingying, overheard Ling Mo and Gu Tingbai's whispering. His icy expression instantly tightened, and he asked in a deep voice:
What are you talking about?
Hearing the voice, Gu Tingbai turned around and saw Qin Beiming staring at him with an unpleasant expression, his face as cold as ice. He stammered, "Third Brother... what are you doing here?"
Qin Beiming's sharp, hawk-like eyes settled on Gu Tingbai's hand, which was casually resting on Ling Mo's arm. His voice was even colder and more stern. "Go back to class."
"Third Brother, you weren't molested by Xiao Yacha, were you?"
Gu Tingbai clearly noticed that Qin Beiming was not in a good mood, so he asked him a question.
"..."
Qin Beiming pursed his lips and remained silent. In a moment of impulsiveness, he moved Gu Tingbai's hand, which was resting on Ling Mo's arm, aside, and forcefully gripped Ling Mo's wrist, saying in a low voice, "Come with me."
Where to?
Ling Mo frowned slightly and protested with dissatisfaction, "Let go first, and I'll go with you."
For the first time ever, Qin Beiming ignored Ling Mo and continued to hold her wrist tightly, showing no intention of letting go.
"Third Master Qin, what have I done to offend you?"
Ling Mo glanced at Qin Beiming, who remained silent, and a sense of unease arose in his heart.
Why did I get angry at her for no reason?
"What?"
Qin Beiming turned around in confusion, realizing that Ling Mo seemed a little angry, and then let go of his hand, saying, "Sorry."
He looked at Ling Mo's wrist, which he had gripped so tightly it was red, and felt extremely guilty.
Even he himself couldn't explain why he was so angry when he saw Ling Mo and Gu Tingbai holding hands intimately.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going."
Ling Mo, too lazy to pay attention to Qin Beiming's unpredictable mood swings, coldly uttered a sentence, and then angrily walked back.
Qin Beiming looked somewhat bewildered upon seeing this.
In this situation, he dared not lose his temper. He quickly caught up, carefully took her hand, and whispered an explanation:
"Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."
"I'm not made of paper. I just find you really strange. Why do you give me attitude for no reason?"
Ling Mo shook off his hand, growing angrier the more she thought about it.
Does he take his anger out on her when he's in a bad mood?
She's not his punching bag.
If she weren't outmatched by him, she would have definitely come up and punched him twice, making him cry his eyes out.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what happened just now. Seeing you and Xiaobai so close together made me a little angry." Qin Beiming didn't know how to coax the girl, so he could only apologize cautiously.
"I can lean on whomever I want, it's none of your business."
Ling Mo felt even more confused.
She and Qin Beiming weren't very close, so why did he have the right to interfere in her affairs?
Qin Beiming realized that she was really angry, and he panicked.
"I didn't mean to interfere with you. I just thought you were still young and didn't understand the dangers of society. I was afraid you would be deceived by those empty sweet words." He explained patiently, now regretting it to the core.
