Chapter 146: Pretending
Ever since Xu Xiaoyue went to school, Yan Ye had been sitting by the phone with nothing to do for the past two days, fearing that he might miss a call.
Three days had passed when he finally received a call from her, and the first thing she asked was if she could go to school.
Going to school is not important. What is important is that Xu Xiaoyue's voice is filled with tears.
Even though it was just a faint, unnoticeable cry, he could tell that she must have encountered something unpleasant at school.
Xu Xiaoyue didn't say what he was going to do at school, she just asked him to go.
Yan Ye held the microphone in his big hand, and the veins on his hand were throbbing. He controlled his tone and coaxed the person, "I'll drive over now."
"Don't worry, baby. I'll be here in a minute."
"Well, then you have to come faster. I'm a little scared."
The girl spoke in a muffled voice and sniffed.
Just hearing the aggrieved voice on the phone, Yan Ye's heart sank.
He closed his eyes, thinking that he should have followed his idea and firmly stopped people from living on campus. Otherwise, things wouldn't be like today, and he couldn't even rush to her in time when she was bullied at school.
As soon as Xu Xiaoyue hung up the phone, the aggrieved expression on her face disappeared instantly.
Xu Xiaoyue did it on purpose. She knew very well what would make Yan Ye emotionally excited.
I also deliberately didn't explain the whole thing to him, letting him drive and guess all the way, so it would be better for him to come here with anger held back.
After finishing the call, her expression became much more relaxed. She even turned her head and gave the invigilator a sly look, then spoke in a gloating tone.
"You're dead."
As soon as these four words came out, not only did Teacher Liu, who couldn't stand her, turn pale, but even Zhang Lihong next to her couldn't help but widen her eyes.
How dare she speak to the teacher in such a tone.
Teacher Liu wished she could kick out Xu Xiaoyue, this ignorant student, right now. Her chest heaved up and down as she uttered a few words through gritted teeth.
"Xu Xiaoyue, right? I want to see what you can do when your parents come."
Most people of this generation still have a fear of school.
Not to mention asking the parents, as soon as the parents of several of her senior students heard that their children had gotten into trouble, they came to the school with sticks and beat the children before the teacher could say anything.
Of course, this kind of thing is often mixed with showmanship.
Most Chinese people think that if a child makes a mistake, I will beat him.
On one hand, the children were beaten to a pulp, and on the other hand, the parents begged for mercy in a humble manner. After this combination of punches, the teacher could not vent his anger even if he was very angry.
Just wait and see. Even if the girl’s parents come, she will give them a warning first.
Let him discipline her properly and not give Xu Xiaoyue a beating in front of her. She will definitely not let the matter go unpunished.
Thinking of this, Teacher Liu finally calmed down a little. Seeing Xu Xiaoyue still sitting on the stool with a relaxed look on her face, she immediately yelled.
"Who allowed you to sit down? Get out and stand."
Xu Xiaoyue shrugged her shoulders and didn't argue with her this time. She just went out and stood there.
Leaning against the wall, Xu Xiaoyue lowered her head and tapped the floor with her toes.
She was counting, counting how long it took to drive here from the army.
What the man saw when he came over was her dejected look. She had only been sent here for three days, but she looked listless and had lost a lot of weight.
It's like it has transformed from a domestic kitten into a listless wild cat.
If I had known, I would not have let her go to school. She didn't learn anything, and instead, the little weight she gained at the Yan family was almost gone.
He frowned as he thought about it, then strode forward.
Xu Xiaoyue lowered her head, with a shadow blocking her way.
She looked up and saw that she was hugging someone tightly with both hands. She leaned into his arms and said with a choked voice, "Why did you come just now? I was about to be bullied to death."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her almond-shaped eyes and she looked up at him, as if blaming him for being late.
Yan Ye was silent for a rare moment. He had compressed the journey of 30 minutes into 20 minutes.
He squeezed out his hand and touched the woman's eyes. They looked moist, without any signs of crying.
Obviously, he's pretending.
Xu Xiaoyue blinked. His hands were too rough. She felt itchy after just a few gentle strokes.
The girl buried her head in the man's arms, her hands wrapped around him and refusing to let go, while whining and complaining.
"Don't you like me anymore? You're here so late."
When Yan Ye heard her on the phone before, he thought something had happened to her.
When people stood in front of her and heard her pretend crying, it sounded no different from when she was pretending to cry and act like a spoiled child on the bed.
Even though he knew it was fake, he still cooperated and hugged the girl, looking her up and down with his dark eyes.
"Who bullied our baby?"
Before Xu Xiaoyue could answer, Teacher Liu heard the noise outside and walked out of the house. What she saw was a tall and strong man holding a petite girl in his arms.
The man hugged her so tightly that he could only vaguely see the lower half of the girl's face.
But just by looking at the lower half of the face, she recognized her. This was Xu Xiaoyue who was standing outside as punishment.
She didn't even stand properly when she was punished, and now she is hugging and kissing a man who appeared out of nowhere.
"School is such a serious place, what are you doing here that corrupts morals?"
"Xu Xiaoyue, Xu Xiaoyue, you are so young, it's ok for you to cheat, but now you are hugging and kissing a man, how can you be so shameless."
"When your parents come, I'll ask them how they educated you."
The woman's sarcastic words pierced Xu Xiaoyue coldly, one after another.
The more Yan Ye listened, the gloomier his expression became. When the woman finished speaking, her black eyes were as cold as ice water.
Xu Xiaoyue buried herself in the man's arms, her ears covered by the man's big hands, so she couldn't hear clearly, but she knew that the female teacher definitely didn't say anything good about her.
Teacher Liu spoke a lot as if to vent his anger, but saw that the two of them still did not seem to want to separate.
She was about to continue her extremely sarcastic remarks when she was interrupted by Yan Ye.
"Have you said enough?"
Meeting that pair of dark eyes that concealed hidden anger, Teacher Liu involuntarily took a step back for some reason.
"You, you dare to do it but you are afraid of what others will say."
She retorted verbally, wondering in her heart where this person came from.
The man was handsome and tall. Logically, if she had seen him in school, she would have had some impression of him.
Yan Ye loosened his grip and pushed Xu Xiaoyue behind him.
With someone backing her up, Xu Xiaoyue poked her head out from behind the man and pointed at him, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Husband, she is the one who bullied me."
"She said I cheated and refused to listen to my explanation. She said she was going to fire me."
