Jiang Rong stepped onto the podium, glanced over everyone’s faces, and then announced, “Due to the school organizing an event to welcome foreign guests, students and teachers who are not participating are asked not to loiter outside the classrooms.
“I hope everyone can give their utmost cooperation!
“Today’s schedule will be the same as the past few days. Students can have free time in the afternoon, but also, do not wander around the school.
“Additionally, all of today’s breaks are canceled and replaced with self-study. “A few of us teachers will take turns coming to the class to supervise everyone!”
After Jiang Rong finished her announcement, a chorus of groans filled the room.
Zhuang Peng’s voice was especially loud: “Teacher, you can’t restrict our personal freedom like this!”contemporary romance
Since being beaten up, Zhuang Peng had been lying on his desk ever since he entered the classroom.
Hearing Zhuang Peng’s voice, Xia Wan instinctively turned back to look and nearly laughed out loud.
She had thought Liu Hua’s description was exaggerated, but Zhuang Peng’s face was even more remarkable than described.
One of his eyes was only half-open, and his mouth was also swollen on one side, revealing the gap of a missing front tooth.
His face was a patchwork of blue and purple bruises, with hardly any unblemished skin visible.
Even Zhuang Peng’s neck had several scratch marks and bruises, clearly showing that his assailant had been ruthless.
Zhuang Peng, with his swollen mouth and a missing tooth, spoke unclearly, but this didn’t stop him from voicing his protest.
Jiang Rong glanced at Zhuang Peng and quickly looked away. “Besides Zhuang Peng, does anyone else have any objections?”
Hearing Jiang Rong’s question, naturally, no one else dared to make a sound.
“Good! Since no one else has objections, we’ll handle Zhuang Peng’s concerns separately.” Jiang Rong’s gaze returned to Zhuang Peng.
Before she finished speaking, Zhuang Peng stood up. “Teacher Jiang! I think the school’s arrangements are reasonable and appropriate, no issues at all!” A wave of disdainful murmurs rose in the classroom.
Zhuang Peng, unfazed by others’ attitudes, scratched the back of his head and sat down again. “If you have the guts, protest too. Don’t always make me the scapegoat! ”
Zhuang Peng’s tone sounded somewhat resentful, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Without a leader, the rest of the class naturally remained silent.
Xia Wan had little interest in the event to welcome foreign guests, but she found it amusing to see Song Zhi dressed up so meticulously earlier that day.
Finally, after enduring the morning’s classes, Xia Wan stretched and prepared to go for lunch.
Suddenly, Zhuang Peng blocked her way.
He lowered his voice, leaning in close to Xia Wan, “Xia Wan, come with me for a moment, I have something to tell you!”
Liu Hua, observing Zhuang Peng’s attitude, tugged at Xia Wan’s sleeve worriedly, whispering, “Don’t go!”
Xia Wan patted Liu Hua’s hand reassuringly, not immediately agreeing to Zhuang Peng: “Do we even have anything in common to talk about?”
Zhuang Peng instinctively bit his lip, causing pain due to his forgotten injury.
He gasped, finally remembering an excuse: “I heard that although Jiang Lu has dropped out, he left a message to target your brother, Xia Chen.”
Zhuang Peng knew well that if the target was Xia Wan, she might not care much.
But if it was about targeting Xia Chen, Xia Wan would definitely follow him! Sure enough, Xia Wan’s expression changed: “What is he planning to do?”
“I can’t tell you right now! Follow me, and I’ll explain slowly,” Zhuang Peng said with a hint of scheming in his eyes.
Liu Hua was even more nervous, gripping Xia Wan’s sleeve, not letting her leave.
Xia Wan pulled away from Liu Hua’s grasp and followed Zhuang Peng towards the school’s back door.
It was said that the foreign guests had arranged to have a collective meal in the cafeteria, and to avoid the peak lunch hour for students, they had gone there half an hour early.
At this time, apart from students coming and going for lunch, no one would notice Zhuang Peng and Xia Wan’s movements.
Arriving at the school’s back door, Xia Wan stood against the wall with her arms crossed. “Speak up! What do you really know?”
“Xia Wan, I’m just trying to warn you out of goodwill. Jiang Lu is really not someone to mess with!” Zhuang Peng looked around and then leaned closer to Xia Wan to speak.
Xia Wan pushed away Zhuang Peng as he drew near.. “Just tell me what you know! What is he planning to do?”
