Chapter 68



Xia Mian thought that Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen's parents would arrive first, after all, they were closer to the police station, but she didn't expect that the first person to arrive would be Ning Shaobai.

A black Santana braked suddenly in front of the police station, and Ning Shaobai got out of the car. On the chilly spring night, he was only wearing a thin white coat, and it was obvious that he had rushed here directly from the hospital.

Xia Mian looked at his aggressive eyes and couldn't help but step back in fear.

However, the man's long legs took two steps and he was in front of her. He stretched out his long arms, grabbed her by the back of the collar, and pulled her over. He looked her up and down carefully before he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's going on?"

Hearing his tone was a little harsh, Michael quickly said, "It's not about the child. Those thugs were causing trouble for her, so she called the police."

Ning Shaobai only then noticed the homeroom teacher and quickly said, "I'm sorry to bother you, teacher."

"It's okay, it's okay. Hibernation is handled well," Michael said with a hint of admiration. "This kid is really brave."

In his current student and classroom career, this was the first time he encountered a student who dared to call the police.

If everyone were like Xia Mian, the thugs who always block people and extort money at the school gate would probably disappear.

Ning Shaobai glanced at Xia Mian and continued to greet the teacher, "I'll trouble you to take care of me in the future."

He looked like a real parent, Xia Mian couldn't help but smile.

Ning Shaobai reached out and pinched her at an angle where the head teacher couldn't see.

Xia Mian was so scared that he quickly stepped back.

Just happened to meet Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen, two crazy fans:

"Is this your brother? Ahhh, so handsome!"

"Does your brother have a girlfriend? I have a sister!"

Xia Mian made a "tsk" sound and said, "Don't even think about it."

While the three were arguing, Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen's parents also arrived on their bicycles.

The two parents were obviously familiar with each other. After confirming that they were okay, they started nagging, and it was unclear whether they were scolding or feeling sorry for them.

"You two girls are really capable!"

"Why did you come to the police station..."

"This is the first time in my life that I've come to the police station to pick up my child..."

Michael quickly explained the situation and added, "It's getting late. Let the children go back and rest. They have school tomorrow."

Ning Shaobai knew that the other party was dragged down because of helping Xia Mian, and he went forward to greet the parents of the two people:

"Because of our family's hibernation, I'm really sorry."

Father Sun smiled and said with his slightly bulging belly, "It's okay. It's our duty to help our classmates. This isn't the children's fault."

Mother Li pulled Xia Mian and said, "So you are Xia Mian. I've heard Zhenzhen say that you are very good at studying, right? Come to our house when you have time."

Seeing Ning Shaobai wearing a white coat, Mother Sun asked enthusiastically, "Is Xia Mian's brother a doctor? Which hospital does he work in?"

"Yenchi University Hospital."

Both sets of parents became even more enthusiastic. Doctor is a very popular profession these days, let alone one from Yanda Hospital.

Xia Mian looked at Ning Shaobai's thin clothes and quickly winked at Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen.

The two immediately understood and grabbed their parents.

"Mom, I'm so sleepy."

"Mom, I'm cold, let's go home quickly."

"Okay, okay, let's go home."

"Xia Mian's brother, let's exchange contact information."

Ning Shaobai stood there and watched the two parents leave. Just as he was about to turn around and settle the score with someone, he was suddenly hugged from behind.

Ning Shaobai was startled when he saw Xia Mian sticking his head out from his right side, with a flattering look on his face. At the same time, his hands were rubbing his forearms quickly to help him warm up. "Doctor Ning, you must be frozen. Thank you so much for today!"

"You should know me well. There's no way I'd suffer a loss, so there's no need to be so anxious." After she said that, she looked down and saw his hands that were blue with cold. She quickly picked them up, put them in her palms, blew on them, and continued to rub them hard.

"It's so cold." She rubbed her feet and stamped them, then looked up at Ning Shaobai and laughed, "Are you warm now?"

Ning Shaobai closed his eyes, took a deep breath, pulled his hand out, and said unhappily, "If you had let me get in the car earlier, I would have been warm!"

"Oh, oh, oh!" Xia Mian hurriedly pushed him towards the car, personally opened the driver's door for him, and said attentively, "Please come in."

After Ning Shaobai got in, she walked around to the passenger seat and got in, then started praising him crazily, "Doctor Ning, you look so handsome today. You're a pretty good parent..."

Ning Shaobai seemed to know what she wanted to say. He reached out and flicked her forehead and said, "Don't even think about it. I don't want to have to go to school every few days because of a troublemaker like you. I didn't even have my parents called when I was in school."

"Who said I'm a troublemaker? I never start trouble on my own initiative." Xia Mian said, "Just like what happened today, you really can't blame me!"

She recounted the entire incident from beginning to end, and concluded, "If you really want to find the fault with me, you can only blame it on me being too pretty and too popular."

At this point she sighed, "Being beautiful is really a crime. If beauty is a crime, I'll have to sentence you to life imprisonment."

Ning Shaobai said expressionlessly, "That can't be done. I think the death penalty is sufficient."

aestivation:……

This answer was really brilliant. Should she take it as a compliment or an insult?

Ning Shaobai said, "Did you do the three people the hospital just received?"

Xia Mian was stunned for a moment, "Sent to your hospital? Ah, that's right, Yanda Hospital is the closest."

"How is it? Should I be alright?"

Ning Shaobai said, "Don't you know what's going on?"

"Haha, then he must be fine. It's just the blood that scares people. It's just a mild concussion at most. He'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Ning Shaobai glanced at her and said, "Why? You have a lot of experience. Where did you learn it?"

"What a coincidence, what a coincidence," Xia Mian laughed and tried to get away with it. He immediately changed the subject and asked, "Are you going back to the hospital or home?"

Ning Shaobai had no intention of asking further questions.

He lowered his head and motioned Xia Mian to look at his white coat. "What do you think?"

"You're on duty today, right? I understand." Xia Mian said, "Doctor Ning, you've worked so hard. Thank you very much today."

Ning Shaobai didn't want to pay attention to her and concentrated on driving.

Seeing the car approaching the intersection, Xia Mian hurriedly said, "Just take me to the entrance of the alley. My second aunt will ask about it when she hears the sound of the car."

Ning Shaobai didn't say anything. He stopped the car at the entrance of the alley, then turned on the high beam to light the way for her. He didn't turn around and leave until Xia Mian walked to the door of her house and waved in that direction.

Xia Wenyue was still waiting. When she heard the noise, she came out from the west room and asked, "Why are you so late today?"

"Well, something happened in our school. Some hooligans went to our first grade to cause trouble, and the police came to arrest them. I watched the excitement for a while, but then I got a little late."

Xia Wenyue was never very curious, so when she knew she was fine, she yawned and said, "The meal is on the stove, hurry up and eat and go to sleep. Xiaofeng has been waiting for you and just fell asleep..."

Just as I said this, I heard the child's sleepy voice coming from the west room, "Auntie?"

"Hey, I'm back!" he quickly agreed.

Xia Wenyue shook her head helplessly. "I haven't seen you stay up all night. Kindergarten asked us to draw a picture today, and I want to show it to you."

"Okay, I understand. Second aunt, you go to sleep and I'll coax him." Xia Mian hurried into the west room.

The child was indeed sitting in the quilt looking at the door. When he saw Xia Mian, his eyes lit up, "Auntie!"

"Well," Xia Mian took off her coat, walked over and kissed his cheek, "Auntie is back, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Xiao Feng smiled, turned around, took out a piece of paper from under the pillow and handed it to Xia Mian.

Xia Mian asked in surprise, "Is it for me?"

Xiao Feng nodded happily.

When you open the Summer Sleep Book, you will see a colored pencil drawing with blue sky and white clouds, warm sunshine, and an orange-red adult holding a yellow little person in his arms, surrounded by colorful beautiful flowers and butterflies.

The brushstrokes are immature, but one can clearly feel the passionate emotions of the people in the painting.

"Is it Auntie and Xiaofeng?"

Xiao Feng smiled and opened her arms for a hug.

Xia Mian couldn't help but laugh. The little guy was becoming a little bit spoiled.

Xia Mian picked him up and said, "Our Xiao Feng's painting is so great."

Xiao Feng rubbed her neck contentedly.

Xia Mian said, "When Auntie finishes her homework this weekend, she can play with Xiao Feng for a whole day during the holiday, okay?"

"Okay!" Xiao Feng was very happy.

They now have very little time to meet each other in a day. He is still sleeping when she leaves in the morning. They have lunch together at noon. In the evening, she has homework to do when she comes home from school. After finishing her homework, the child is often very sleepy.

Even so, he always waited for her to sleep together.

Xia Mian kissed his little face distressedly, "Sleeping in the same bed with auntie today?!"

"Okay!" Xiao Feng excitedly hugged her neck and jumped twice, feeling that today's benefit was really good.

Xia Mian laughed. This kid is so easy to satisfy.

Xiao Feng's situation was special after all, so Xia Mian consulted Ning Shaobai privately.

Ning Shaobai suggested waiting until he was seven years old before officially sleeping in a separate bed, and giving him enough sense of security before then.

Xiao Feng's affairs went on as planned, but the school was in turmoil because of her calling the police.

Xia Mian became famous because of this battle, and the rumors were naturally refuted.

Not only did the students in Class 3 stop spreading rumors, but they also seriously clarified the matter when they encountered others spreading gossip.

Even the thugs who had bad intentions and were just looking for trouble were scared and shut up when they saw what happened to Hao Jian. For them, going to the police station was still a very scary thing.

However, Zhao Cheng, Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen were very excited, as if this was a historical event in their lives worthy of being recorded in history.

Zhao Cheng said, "I've decided. I want to be a policeman. Being a policeman is so cool."

Xia Mian immediately said, "It's not easy to get into the police academy. It requires a lot of points. Are you sure you can get in with your current grades?"

Zhao Cheng felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, and he said depressedly, "Xia Mian, why do you always ask people to study?"

Xia Mian smiled and said, "Because only by studying can you realize your dream!"

Zhao Cheng had an ideal, but still didn't feel like studying, so he changed the subject and talked about Hao Jian. "My dad said that Hao Jian would be detained for a few days at most and then released."

"I guess so," Xia Mian said, "After all, he is still a minor, and there were no serious consequences in the end. But getting him expelled from school should be enough."

Zhao Cheng clapped his hands and said, "Hey, why didn't I think of this? As long as he leaves our school, the air will be much fresher."

Sun Yuexin said, "Then Xia Mian, you better be mentally prepared. His nanny..." She said this and turned to Li Lizhen, "He's been sent to the hospital this time. His parents must be here in person, right?"

Li Lizhen said, "I guess his father spent so much money to send him to our school, I'm afraid he won't be expelled so easily."

Sun Yuexin worriedly asked, "Do you think he will go to Qiao Jianyu? Didn't they say that the Hao family invested in a nightclub for Qiao Jianyu? If Qiao Jianyu says a word, the matter will be over again."

Xia Mian laughed, "You all say Qiao Jianyu is a big shot, it's so cheap of him to take care of such trivial matters."

"Besides, the Hao family is busy hiding this matter, so how dare they go to Qiao Jianyu?"

Zhao Cheng was puzzled.

Xia Mian analyzed it for them, "Didn't you all say it? Qiao Jianyu doesn't think highly of Hao Jian at all. At most, he said a few words to him because his family paid for it."

"So the two thugs who can hang out with Hao Jian must also be marginal figures."

"They directly mentioned the names of Nightclub King and Qiao Jianyu that day, so of course the police will investigate." Xia Mian said, "Do you think Qiao Jianyu will blame this incident on the troublemaker Hao Jian, or on a high school girl whose name he doesn't even know?"

"Of course it's the troublemaker Hao Jian!" Zhao Cheng clapped his hands and suddenly asked, "So you said so much that day just to get them to mention Qiao Jianyu's name?"

Xia Mian gave him a teachable look. "Yes, Xinyue Lizhen and I heard it that day. Qiao Jianyu's grandfather keeps a close eye on him. Would he use his connections on Hao Jian's behalf for such a small matter?"

"Even Hao Jian's father wouldn't offend Qiao Jianyu at this critical juncture. The worst that could happen to Hao Jian is that he'll be expelled from school, or transferred to another school. But if Qiao Jianyu gets involved, the Hao family's business and the nightclub they invested in will suffer huge losses."

"Do you think Hao Jian's father is the kind of person who loves his son more than anything else?"

The three of them shook their heads.

Xia Mian said, "That's it."

Zhao Cheng said, "So, the most likely possibility is that his father came to see you."

Sun Yuexin said, "Someone is definitely going to throw money at you."

Xia Mian snorted and laughed, "Unless he smashes me to death."

The three of them burst into laughter.

Unexpectedly, Xia Mian did not wait for Hao's father, but waited for Tian Xueya's mother Ma Xiu'e first.

After Tian Xueya ran away from evening study that day, she didn't come to school for two days in a row, not knowing whether it was because she was too embarrassed to see people or because she was afraid that Xia Mian would call the police.

When Xia Mian returned to the classroom at noon, she heard her classmates discussing, "Has Tian Xueya been arrested by the police?"

"That's not true." Xia Mian hurriedly explained, "Defamation is only arrested if you sue the police. Of course they won't arrest you if no one sues you."

Many classmates breathed a sigh of relief. Although Tian Xueya was wrong in this matter, they would still feel sorry for her if she went to jail for it.

For Xia Mian, firstly, there was really no need to argue with the little girl, and secondly, it was pointless to sue for such a small matter, so it would be better to use this matter to gain some benefits.

"I was just trying to scare her. After all, nothing really happened to me. She's pretty, good at studying, and has a bright future. If I really sue her, wouldn't her life be ruined?"

Xia Mian sighed and said, "I just hope she can learn from her mistakes and stop making up rumors."

After these words came out, who could not say that Xia Mian was broad-minded? Gentle and kind, she was simply a fairy.

Just when everyone's liking for her increased, Tian Xueya's mother Ma Xiu'e bumped into her.

She was a plump, middle-aged woman with a fiery personality. She pushed open the door and angrily asked, "Who is the new transfer student?"

Xia Mian stood up puzzledly, "Hello, Auntie, I am."

"You are?" The woman squinted her eyes and said, "You are the one who bullied our Xiaoxue? Go call your parents and I'll ask them how they raised their children. Not only did they not study well, but they also bullied the students who were good students?"

Sun Yuexin was so angry that she laughed, "Auntie, you are so indiscriminate. Who is being disrespectful? Who is bullying your Xiaoxue?"

Ma Xiu'e's eyes fell on Sun Yuexin, her face full of disdain. "Sun Yuexin, Li Lizhen, I know you guys. So, have you done well in your studies? Where did you rank in the class and the whole school on the exam?"

Sun Yuexin was choked and speechless.

Xia Mian finally knew who Tian Xueya learned her snobbish attitude towards poor students from.

Xia Mian said calmly, "Auntie, was it classmate Tian Xueya who said that we bullied her?"

"Why wouldn't she dare come to school if you didn't bully her?" Ma Xiu'e pointed at Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen and said, "You're all responsible, right? Birds of a feather flock together, and you're all bad students."

It's ridiculous that they come to accuse me without even figuring out the situation.

Xia Mian said softly, "Student Tian Xueya doesn't dare to come to school, maybe because of you, Auntie."

Ma Xiu'e frowned, "What do you mean?"

Xia Mian whispered softly, "Because your family's education is indiscriminate and maliciously speculates about others, that's why Tian Xueya said bad things about others behind their backs. After being exposed, she was too embarrassed to face her classmates and didn't dare to come to school."

Ma Xiu'e was immediately furious, "How dare you talk like that? Who is making indiscriminate and malicious assumptions? What is there to be afraid of my daughter?"

"Tian Xueya should be afraid! Because of her nonsense, Xia Mian was almost coerced by gangsters," a classmate who was dissatisfied said, "If it weren't for Xia Mian's magnanimity, your daughter would have been arrested by the police."

Ma Xiu'e was stunned when she heard that the police were involved.

The other students were already angry and speaking up for Xia Mian:

"That's right. Tian Xueya spread rumors that Xia Mian was a criminal. When she was exposed, she was scared. How can she blame Xia Mian?"

"Tian Xueya is truly disgusting. Not only does she refuse to admit her own mistakes, but she also lets the parents make trouble for her."

"I used to think she was a nice person, but now I see she's just pretending."

"I forgave Xia Mian even after she suffered so much injustice, but she turned against me. I was actually a little worried about her before."

"Haha, what's the point of just being good at studying? She's far inferior to Sun Yuexin and the others."

Ma Xiu'e's face became more and more ugly as she listened to the classmates' discussion. Her daughter was so well-behaved, why was she being scolded like this by her classmates?

She felt uncomfortable hearing these words. How pitiful must her daughter be in such an environment?

No, she couldn't let her daughter suffer such injustice!

Michael, who had just arrived at work, hadn't even entered the office when he heard the news and rushed over. "Tian Xueya's mother, let's go to the office to talk about something. Don't let this affect the child's studies."

Ma Xiu'e had originally come to see the homeroom teacher, and now she said, "It's just right, teacher, you have to take care of these students. Our Xiaoxue has been refusing to eat or drink at home these past few days and is too scared to come to school."

"She is a promising student. We can't let these rotten people ruin her."

Michael frowned slightly and said, "I'll tell you about this in detail later, don't worry."

He turned around and called Xia Mian, "Xia Mian, go to the office with the teacher."

Sun Yuexin was worried that Xia Mian would be at a disadvantage because she was alone and weak, so she immediately said, "Lao Mi, can I go with her?"

Li Lizhen said, "I'll go too."

Michael thought for a moment and said, "Okay, the three of you come together."

Along the way, Ma Xiu'e kept telling Michael how important it was for Tian Xueya to study and how unreasonable her classmates were, for fear that it would affect her daughter's future.

Michael just responded with "hmm" and "ah".

He didn't take them to the teacher's office, but to a small conference room on the second floor where three people were already sitting.

The man sitting in the middle had good-looking facial features and a good figure. He was wearing a suit and tie, had a slicked-back hair, a big gold watch on his wrist, and a briefcase on the table. He was currently talking loudly on the phone with a cell phone.

He exudes the sense of superiority of "I am a rich man" all over his body, and considering his face, it is not difficult to guess who he is.

He didn't hang up the phone when he saw everyone coming in, and continued to chat leisurely, "Oh, they say children are a debt, and my little brat was taken care of by a little girl. I have to come back to see him."

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, brother. I promise to treat you to a drink when I get back this time."

"Are there really phones? Aren't they said to be produced in small batches and not yet available for sale?"

"Fifty thousand? If you can really get it for me, I'll give you not only fifty thousand but a hundred thousand."

"Brother, you have the connections. Whether I can get that piece of land depends on you."

Xia Mian looked at the man who had been playing for two or three minutes and still didn't want to hang up, and said to Michael, "Teacher, what do you want to talk to me about? I should go back to do my homework first. It's a bit of a waste of time here."

Michael was also annoyed and said, "Okay, let's all go back and come back when we are free."

"Hey, hey, hey!" Hao Jianguo immediately hung up the phone and said with a smile, "Oh, I'm sorry to have kept the teachers and classmates waiting for so long. I'm really sorry."

"What do you mean by wait a long time?" Ma Xiu'e immediately smiled like a flower. "Jianguo, oh, no, it should be Mr. Hao. You are a busy man, it's okay for us to wait a little longer."

Hao Jianguo asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"

"I'm Ma Xiu'e, the workshop director of Workshop 2. You originally had an order for goods that came through us!"

The tone was as flattering as it could be, trying hard to build a relationship with him.

Sun Yuexin couldn't help but roll her eyes and muttered softly, "Finally I know why Tian Xueya has two faces. It turns out she learned it from her mother."

The two people over there also started to talk about the main topic. Ma Xiu'e asked, "Mr. Hao, what are you doing at school?"

Hao Jianguo sighed, "It's all because of my disappointing son."

"I bullied a female classmate at school and got into trouble."

Ma Xiu'e curled her lips and said, "It's not necessarily your son's fault. Girls nowadays are not as innocent as our Xiaoxue. I guess he is deliberately flirting with her because your family is rich."

"Fuck!" Sun Yuexin cursed, "Auntie, please keep your mouth shut. Who deliberately seduced me? Well, before Xia Mian came, Hao Jian's favorite was your Tian Xueya."

Ma Xiu'e glared and was about to speak when Michael interrupted her seriously, "Tian Xueya's mother, this matter was caused by your daughter's random rumors. If you continue to slander my students, I will no longer be responsible for Tian Xueya's affairs."

Ma Xiu'e said, "How is that possible? Teacher, are you mistaken? My daughter is such a well-behaved girl who only studies all day long. How could she possibly spread rumors?"

Michael recounted the incident briefly, "...So, it was because of Tian Xueya's nonsense that Mr. Hao's son believed it and brought some people from society to the school to bully the girl."

"The little girl called the police in a panic."

"Tian Xueya must be afraid of the situation because it has become so serious, so she doesn't dare to come to school."

"Student Xia Mian has already explained this matter to me clearly. The police won't arrest her. Let her come back to class. She'll be fine."

Ma Xiu'e, however, thought of the horrific attack she had just suffered in the classroom and immediately said, "How can this be blamed on my daughter?"

She glanced at Xia Mian with disdain, "It's obviously her own indiscreet behavior that caused the misunderstanding."

"If you're talking about beautiful, then my daughter is beautiful too. Why don't I see her getting into trouble?"

"Tian Xueya's mother!" Michael said sternly, "This matter was originally Tian Xueya's fault. I told you not to slander my students anymore!"

When Ma Xiu'e heard Michael say it was her daughter's fault, she immediately said, "How can you be a teacher?"

"Our school is a key high school, and my daughter is going to apply to Yanda University or Huazhong University. Do you want these hooligans to affect my daughter? I want to transfer classes, and I want to find your principal!"

Xia Mian took a deep breath. Being a fairy was not easy. She tried to speak calmly and said, "So what Auntie means is that whoever studies well will be the ancestor?"

"Then if I study better than Tian Xueya, then she will have to drop out if I ask her to!"

Ma Xiu'e said disdainfully, "Wait until you pass her test first."

Xia Mian smiled and whispered softly, "Don't worry, I will let you see your daughter's true nature. She is a piece of trash who is even worse than a gangster!"

"You! How can you talk like that, you little rascal?" Ma Xiu'e screamed and tried to push Xia Mian, but was stopped by Michael. "Tian Xueya's mother!"

Ma Xiu'e couldn't argue with the man, so she just kept insisting, "Call her parents! I want to have a good talk with them!"

Hao Jianguo finally spoke up, "Yes, Teacher Mi, why haven't Xia Mian's parents arrived yet? I'm pretty pressed for time."

Xia Mian only then realized that her parents had been called. Thinking of Ning Shaobai's refusal that day, Xia Mian subconsciously shrank her neck. Although she wanted to be her parent during her school days, it was still... uh, a little embarrassing to do so so frequently.

Michael said happily, "My brother is not available to answer the phone right now. I'll call him back later. What do you want to do? Let's talk first."

Before Hao Jianguo could say anything, Ma Xiu'e immediately asked, "Why is it her brother? Where are her parents?"

Michael paused and vaguely knew about Xia Mian's situation. It was her second aunt who came to send her to school. Her second aunt vaguely mentioned that her parents were deceased, just in case something happened that would hurt the child.

Ma Xiu'e understood immediately and said sarcastically, "He's an orphan, no wonder."

Xia Mian picked up the tea poured on the table and splashed it on Ma Xiu'e's face.

Give up being a fairy for five seconds.

The author has something to say: Summer Sleep: If beauty is a crime...

Ning Shaobai: I sentence you to death.
