Chapter 13
The county launched a safety publicity and education week, focusing on primary and secondary schools. Their school also received an exercise task, mainly to train students' safety awareness and escape and self-rescue methods.
The exercise was scheduled for Friday afternoon and the students would have a holiday after it, so they were very enthusiastic and not having to attend classes was the best thing for them.
The students gathered in the open space at the school gate, and the police station sent people to the scene to guide the exercises and maintain order.
"Officer, this way please."
The principal was busy welcoming people from the police station. Xia Weining glanced casually and saw Sheng Huaizhou in the crowd.
The guy stood out in the crowd.
The two of them looked at each other for a moment, then looked away, neither of them wanting to look at each other any longer.
Sheng Huaizhou led people to set up the scene, prepare props, and conduct safety tests, while Xia Weining watched the students from the side. They each did their job without disturbing each other.
"Teacher Xia, what should we do now?"
"Protect yourself."
"I'm a little scared." A student sobbed slightly.
"Don't be afraid, the teachers are here."
"It's good to have a teacher to protect us."
Xia Weining could only smile to indicate that it was enough.
"Teacher Xia." Director Zhang was waving at her. "Come here."
She hurried over and asked, "Director, what's wrong?"
"Some of the props are in the office, in the cabinet where we organize the documents. Take Officer Sheng there to get them."
Xia Weining was speechless, her face showing her embarrassment. "Can someone else go?"
"What's up?" Director Zhang didn't wait for her response and hurriedly pushed her out. "Go early and come back early."
Xia Weining snorted coldly, completely understanding what it meant to be speechless.
Neither of them was very satisfied with this arrangement, and both seemed to be forcing themselves to do it.
In order to shorten the time they spent together, Xia Weining walked faster and faster, almost jogging. Sheng Huaizhou also inadvertently quickened his pace, always staying one step behind her.
"It seems that Teacher Xia doesn't like being alone with me?"
"You already know it, why are you asking?" Xia Weining didn't give him a good look either.
"I don't know how I offended Teacher Xia?"
"No offense, I just don't like it, okay?"
Xia Weining turned her head, her eyes full of provocation.
"Okay, but even if you don't like it, you still have to have the ability."
Sheng Huaizhou took a big step forward and passed her, not forgetting to sneer: "No matter how hard you try, your short legs will be useless."
"Who are you calling short-legged?" Xia Weining was trembling with anger. "Is personal attacking Mr. Sheng the quality of a person?"
"It's just the facts." Sheng Huaizhou looked down at her with a sly smile on his face.
Xia Weining raised her eyes and met his. She really didn't have much confidence, as she was just at his shoulders.
grass.
Xia Weining clenched his fists, his teeth chattering. He was unwilling to be looked down upon. He patted his legs and said, "My proportions are good, and my legs are long."
"Tsk~"
Sheng Huaizhou was amused by her. This girl was really interesting and she cared about things in a different way.
Xia Weining opened the office and took out the props, placing them all in Sheng Huaizhou's arms. "Thank you for your help, Officer Sheng."
"And you?"
"My legs are short, so I walk slowly. If I carry something, I'll be even slower. It would be bad if I have to delay things."
Sheng Huaizhou: ...
Why say that when you are upset?
Xia Weining didn't give him a chance to regret and walked out handsomely.
Sheng Huaizhou looked at the information in his arms, then at the brisk figure in front of him, and shook his head helplessly. He felt a miserable feeling of being both amused and helpless. He sighed deeply and quickly caught up with her.
There was still a short distance to the meeting point. Xia Weining stopped and looked back, "Officer Sheng, hurry up."
"Of course you can walk faster with nothing in your hands."
Xia Weining didn't care about his ridicule at all and smiled slightly, "The wise and brave Officer Sheng will naturally not bother with me."
Sheng Huaizhou wanted to see what she was going to do, but the next second he was stunned.
Xia Weining took out two props from his arms and left quickly with them.
She couldn't go back empty-handed.
"You...Xia Weining...you must remember this."
Sheng Huaizhou was so angry that he was incoherent. No one had ever dared to do anything in front of him, but today Xia Weining finally opened his eyes.
Xia Weining handed over the props and hurriedly hid aside, but Sheng Huaizhou followed her closely.
"Officer Sheng, why are you following me if you're not busy?"
"Only when you get close can you see what kind of person Teacher Xia is."
Xia Weining raised her eyes and confronted him, "Today's exercise is serious business. Officer Sheng, there's no need to waste time with me."
"I have always respected the teaching profession and I don't want Teacher Xia to destroy this sacred feeling."
"If you lose your temper or want to argue with me, take off your uniform first. It is sacred to me and cannot be desecrated, so don't do anything out of line while wearing it."
"It's really not a loss at all."
Xia Weining laughed at himself, "I've suffered too much loss, so I don't want to suffer any more."
"You've been mocking me in every possible way today. Is this how Miss Xia treats her savior?"
"Mr. Sheng, you're wrong. One thing is one thing, and you've even arrested me before, treating me like a bad guy. Thank you for helping me. I won't forget it and will find another opportunity to thank you, but not in this way. You can't control me just because you helped me."
Sheng Huaizhou couldn't help but laugh, "You can tell the difference quite clearly."
"Of course. It's hard to repay a favor, so you have to remember it all the time."
Before the two of them could decide who was the winner, Zheng Rui had already waved his hand and shouted, "Huaizhou, come over and change your clothes."
It turned out that Sheng Huaizhuo was leading the team in the safety drill to ensure the safety of the students. As they were talking, they had already taken protective measures and were just waiting for the drill to begin.
Two security guards wearing masks pretended to be criminals, holding iron rods in their hands, and suddenly rushed into the campus on motorcycles, swinging the rods at everyone they saw.
“Ahhh…”
"Mom, I want Mom."
"Help! Help! Help!"
…
My ears were filled with the heart-wrenching cries of the students. Although it was a drill, the cries were real, the fear was real, and the despair in their eyes was real.
Seeing the young faces of people collapsing, Xia Weining felt bad, but she also knew that the exercises were beneficial to the children's growth.
A gangster turned into the crowd and swung a stick indiscriminately. The students were scared and ran away. Some teachers stepped forward to fight with the gangster, while the rest of the teachers protected the students behind them. Xia Weining was surrounded by students, and she was only concerned with comforting the frightened students, and was completely unaware of the impending danger.
Sheng Huaizhou was the first to notice the situation here and hurriedly shouted a warning, "Be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, the stick hit Xia Weining's back hard. She was knocked down by the sudden gravity, staggered, and let out a heavy groan from the corner of her mouth. Her expression was full of pain.
The man hit her so hard that she felt like the bones in her back were broken.
There was no real fighting in the exercise, which left everyone confused. How could there be a real fight?
Xia Weining protected the child beside her tightly, and knew who the gangster was with just a glance.
It turns out that Wei Zhan has been released again, and he is still haunting us.
In that case, let's give him some extra weight. Looking in the direction of Sheng Huaizhuo, a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Xia Weining devoted herself to protecting the students beside her and did not choose to fight back. Wei Zhan hit her on the back twice more, not satisfied yet, so he aimed at her head this time.
Xia Weining felt it and her scalp began to tingle. She complained in her heart why Sheng Huaizhou had not arrived yet. If there was no other way, she could only take action herself. She counted down silently in her heart. Sheng Huaizhou finally arrived before the stick fell, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Sheng Huaizhou subdued Wei Zhan in a few moves. The police behind him had arrived, and the school faculty and staff also participated in comforting the students.
"How are you? Take you to the hospital."
"No need." Xia Weining snatched the stick from his hand, his eyes full of murderous intent, but a brilliant smile on his lips, and walked straight towards Wei Zhan.
"You, what are you doing?" Wei Zhan was a little scared when he saw her like this, and he couldn't speak clearly, "Don't do anything stupid."
Xia Weining snorted disdainfully and said sarcastically, "What a spineless person."
She ignored everyone's strange gazes, raised the iron rod high, and hit Wei Zhan with an expressionless face, again and again, without any fluctuation on her face, as if she was beating a pile of pork.
Seeing Wei Zhan fall to the ground in pain and screaming like a pig being slaughtered, Xia Weining finally felt a sense of accomplishment after her revenge was successful. She poured all the hatred and fear she had accumulated over the years into her hands, turning them all into the gravity of the stick that smashed down.
Everyone around was stunned. Is this still the gentle Teacher Xia? Her strength is comparable to that of an adult man.
Xia Weining was just glad that his boxing training was not in vain.
Sheng Huaizhou was the first to react. He quickly snatched the stick from her hand and supported her. "That's enough."
Xia Weining's body was unsteady. She held onto his arm tightly, relying on his strength to stand firm. Her eyes were like fire, staring straight at him, and she said word by word seriously: "I am protecting myself."
The determination and hatred in her eyes hurt Sheng Huaizhou, but he could also understand her feelings. The repeated injuries she had suffered had forced her to make such a choice. At this moment, Xia Weining was like the weeds growing in the cracks of the rocks, tenacious and unyielding. All her tough appearances were her way of protecting herself.
Zheng Rui led people to take Wei Zhan away, and the teachers comforted the frightened students. Who would have thought that the exercise would become real? Fortunately, the students were not injured.
Sheng Huaizhou held Xia Weining's hand all the time, "Can you walk? I'll take you to the hospital."
"Yes." He almost fell down after taking two steps.
"Come up." Sheng Huaizhou bent his waist, "I'll carry you on my back."
Xia Weining hesitated a little, "No need."
"You're injured on your back, carrying you is the best way, hurry up." Sheng Huaizhou was afraid that she would refuse, so he explained: "Don't get me wrong, serving the people is my duty, and I have to be worthy of the uniform on my body."
A person with a hard mouth but a soft heart.
"I didn't misunderstand." Xia Weining lay on his back, arms drooping slightly, "Officer Sheng, I'm in trouble."
Sheng Huaizhou took her to the hospital for X-rays and examinations. After a long time, the doctor suggested that she be hospitalized for a few days for observation to facilitate her recovery, but Xia Weining was unwilling.
"Don't make a fuss about it."
"Girl, you should take care of yourself." The doctor handed her the examination report. "The wound on your back needs frequent dressing changes. If your family can accommodate you, you don't need to be hospitalized."
Xia Weining thought for a moment and asked, "If I'm hospitalized, can the nurse help change the dressing?"
"Can."
"Okay, then I choose to be hospitalized."
Sheng Huaizhou helped her complete the hospitalization procedures, questioned her about her behavior of hitting Wei Zhan, and left the hospital after handling the matter.
Xia Weining got a few days off and started recuperating in the hospital.
