Just as Dean Fang was silently praying that no powerful figure would call him again, there was a knock on the office door. When he saw that it was Principal Geng and two police officers, he dared not be negligent at all.
Principal Geng entered and, without much small talk, went straight to the point. Two police officers took statements from An Moxue and conducted investigations on the teachers.
After the investigation was completed, one of the police officers said, "Comrade An, we still need to find out who switched the test papers and swapped the scores, and who was involved. We should be able to find out soon, and we will let you know when we have the results."
An Moxue smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."
With An Moxue's matter settled, she left the dean's office, found Hu Zi and Xiao Shanzi, explained some details and arrangements for the investigation, and went home.
At this moment, she was unaware that several parties were plotting to thoroughly investigate the entire family of the director of the School of Economics surnamed Feng, including his close relatives and friends. Wu Sicheng, in particular, was determined to make a name for himself in this matter and make those who were jealous of An Moxue think twice before escalating the situation.
When Aunt Ma and Old Ma returned home, they were quite calm and didn't say much to her. They just asked her a few questions. Little did she know that the elderly couple had already vented their emotions and made arrangements before she returned.
Old Ma went out after finishing his meal and disappeared. He said he had made an appointment with his old friend to buy some good food, so she didn't think much of it.
When Wu Sicheng arrived, it was already dark. An Moxue was a little surprised to see him. "Why are you here? Is something wrong?"
Wu Sicheng stared at her, making her feel a little uneasy. "Why are you looking at me like that? It makes me feel uncomfortable."
Wu Sicheng said helplessly, "Mo Xue, when do you ever think of asking me for help when you have something going on?"
An Moxue was taken aback, then smiled and asked, "You knew?"
He responded softly, "Mm."
"It's a small matter, I can handle it. There's no need to tell you. If something really happens, I won't let you off the hook. Don't even think about hiding; you won't be able to avoid it if you're not quick enough." She took his hand and led him inside, asking, "Have you eaten?"
"No, I got a call and rushed over to see you. I also had some things to arrange, and I'm still hungry!" A grown man was acting coquettishly in front of a woman, without the slightest embarrassment.
As they were talking, An Moxue led him into the kitchen, pressed him down on a stool, and said, "I can tell, you're still wearing your training uniform! Sit down, I'll get you something to eat."
As An Moxue spoke, she opened the refrigerator and said, "You're in luck. Aunt Ma bought a piece of pork belly and a pig's heart tonight. How about I make you a bowl of tomato and egg noodles?"
"One bowl of noodles is fine; you can have the pig's heart and pork belly."
“Eat it if it’s given to you. If Aunt Ma finds out you’re here and doesn’t give you any, she’ll get angry with me if she makes you just a bowl of noodles. She’s the kind of old lady who would rather not eat the good stuff herself than not give it to her guests. She says it’s the bare minimum to treat a guest.” An Moxue lowered her head, chopping the side dishes, and turned on the gas stove.
"It's been a long time since I've had your cooking. Thank you for your hard work tonight. Tell me what happened?"
"A sly person who takes shortcuts probably had their eye on my report card. I suspect our papers were likely swapped, with the names changed. Once it was exposed, someone destroyed the papers in time, leaving no evidence, and then they denied everything. We'll have to wait for the investigation results. You don't know, one of my papers had 53 marks changed, and the other 41, out of a possible 150. Isn't that ridiculous? But they didn't realize I'm not a pushover; I can't let them get away with it. What a pity!" She shook her head as she cooked noodles.
"Don't worry, I've already arranged for people to investigate this matter. If there are no results by tomorrow morning, there will definitely be results the day after tomorrow. I've already asked the school for leave, and I'll go back after the investigation is completed and the matter is dealt with. This time, we absolutely cannot let it go lightly."
"Actually, there's no need. I've already reported it to the police, and I've also had someone investigate this matter. I won't let them get away with it."
Seeing that she wasn't too affected by the incident, Wu Sicheng felt relieved.
"Actually, you don't need to take leave. Just go back after dinner! Your classes are so packed, it's not worth wasting time."
An Moxue watched her cook for him and felt infinitely satisfied. "Who said that? Your affairs are the most important. You know me, I learn the things in the textbook very quickly. I can catch up in a few hours when I go back. It's nothing."
"Come on, you're kidding me! You wouldn't even believe yourself. The most important thing about me is the country's affairs!" An Moxue said, rolling her eyes. She didn't believe a word that wasn't thought through.
They are essentially the same kind of people, so neither of them should speak for the other!
"Go wash your hands, it's time to eat noodles." An Moxue said, taking out two more side dishes from the refrigerator, slicing up the pork heart and pork belly, and making a garlic sauce. By then, the noodles were ready, all in just seven or eight minutes.
A large bowl of steaming noodles was brought over, with four tender poached eggs, chunks of bright red tomato, a little green scallion, and a few drops of sesame oil. It smelled incredibly appetizing.
When Wu Sicheng returned after washing his hands, he saw the appetizing food and immediately felt hungry.
He sat down, pulled An Moxue to sit beside him, picked up his chopsticks, and said, "It looks so appetizing." After saying that, he picked up a piece of egg white with his chopsticks and held it to An Moxue's lips, saying, "Eat with me."
An Moxue opened her mouth to take it, and Wu Sicheng also put a mouthful of noodles into his mouth.
After she swallowed the egg in her mouth, she said, "Just this one bite, I won't eat anymore. I just finished eating not long ago, you eat quickly!"
He swallowed the noodles in his mouth, mumbled "okay," and then lowered his head to start eating again. It was clear that he was very hungry.
He devoured a large bowl of noodles and several side dishes in no time, even drinking the last drop of soup.
After the meal, he washed the dishes while she sat with him.
After washing the dishes, Wu Sicheng said, "Go to bed early. I'm leaving now. Is there anything you want to eat tomorrow morning? I'll bring it to you."
An Moxue said, "Go back to school! It's a small matter, no need for you to do it. Look, I had someone else investigate, I didn't do anything myself."
He took her hand and said gently, "But I want to impress my girlfriend. What should I do? Otherwise, I'll have no use for anything. I'm worried that one day she'll think I'm useless and leave me!"
"Pfft~ Hahahaha! That's hilarious!" A refined man, speaking with feigned grievance, immediately made An Moxue laugh. "Can you please stop like that?"
He just stared at her, leaving her completely helpless. In the end, she had no choice but to give in, "Fine! Whatever makes you happy!"
But what's with that secret joy in my heart?
