next day
Shi Xi returned to the school she had been away from for a long time.
In just over ten days, the news of Zhou Jin's suicide had faded from public attention, but it remained a topic of discussion among students and teachers at No. 1 Middle School.
But no one dared to discuss or leak Shi Xi's news.
There were no photos of Shi Xi in the news, nor was there a single word about her; this was news that Di Chenxiao had blocked.
As soon as I entered the campus, I heard people around me talking.
"I never expected that Hua Rui would be someone who would stop at nothing to get good grades. She used to seem so pitiful, but I never imagined she was a wolf in sheep's clothing."
"Exactly, Zhou Jin used to treat her so well, how could she do such a heartless thing? She's shameless."
"Hua Rui suffered domestic violence from a young age, her heart must have been darkened and twisted long ago. Yet she still pretends to be aloof and kind every day."
"You said the principal helped her cover up the surveillance video, could she have that kind of relationship with the principal?"
"That's disgusting."
...
Shi Xi let it go in one ear and out the other, and finally arrived at Class 29.
Qin Xue and Zhou Jin saw Shi Xi arrive at the classroom door and got up to greet her.
Zhou Jin still kept his head down as before, but the gloom on his face had disappeared.
Qin Xue took Shi Xi's schoolbag and carried it in her hand.
"Little fairy, you're back in school right after being discharged from the hospital. You love learning so much!"
"I came to school because I was so bored at home. My back is about to break from lying in bed all day."
Shi Xi sat down, and Qin Xue and Zhou Jin both faced back and spoke to her.
"Where's Yan-ge?" Han Yan was discharged from the hospital a day earlier than her; he should be back at school by now.
"Yan-ge was called to Teacher Liu's office; they said they were going to give him an award. Hahaha—"
Qin Xue's face fell whenever she thought about how Yan Ge came to school yesterday and Teacher Liu said she would give him a certificate for good deeds. Yan Ge had never received a certificate before, and she never expected his first one to be a good deed award. It made her laugh so hard.
Shi Xi couldn't help but laugh.
With the help of the Qin family, Qin Xue's photos and all information were blocked, and Di Chenxiao blocked Shi Xi's photos and news, so the media only reported on Han Yan.
In an attempt to save face, the school decided to award him a certificate.
"Yan Ge just wouldn't agree. As soon as he arrived at school, Teacher Liu took him to the office for brainwashing."
"Brother Yan, Brother Yan, you're back."
Han Yan walked into the classroom from outside with a depressed look on his face.
"Master, you've arrived."
"Brother Yan, you've worked hard, your ears must be tired. Teacher Liu talks without pausing." Shi Xi added insult to injury.
“Master, I have agreed to accept the award certificate from the school during the flag-raising ceremony next Monday. However, I have one condition: if they do not agree, I will not go on stage.”
Qin Xue asked curiously, "What are the conditions?"
"I won't tell you, it's a secret."
This is a surprise for Zhou Jin, and it cannot be revealed beforehand.
Qin Xue pouted, "Anyway, we'll know what it is next Monday. I'm not curious at all."
She looked very curious, and Shi Xicai didn't believe she wasn't.
The school bell rang, and class began.
Behind Teacher Liu followed a boy, an adorable boy with a baby face. He had dark, bright eyes, fair skin, and clearly visible veins. He was smiling and was more handsome than any of the current heartthrobs.
Teacher Liu stood on the podium and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. This student is a new student in our class. Please welcome our new student to the stage to introduce himself."
