Chapter 235: 69. Win-win...or lose?

"After an investigation by the Discipline Committee, Student Council, and Office of Student Affairs, it has been determined that on March 19th, Aria Spencer, a first-year C class student at Yuanyue Academy, assaulted a fellow student in violation of the school’s motto and the behavioral standards of Lin Gate High School students.

"Now, with the approval of the Disciplinary Department, the Office of Student Affairs, and upon review by the school board, the following punishments are meted out to Aria Spencer.

"1. Offer a written apology to Hua Zhaofeng, the student who was assaulted, and make financial compensation.

"2. Suspend any eligibility for Aria Spencer to apply for scholarships, grants, and other forms of financial aid for the next three years.

"3. Begin a one-week suspension effective immediately."

Tuesday, noon.

At Yuanyue Academy’s first-year area, students gather in front of the garden where the student council announcement board is posted, whispering among themselves,

"Come on, what kind of punishment is that? Isn’t that basically no punishment for that person?"

"Heh, Spencer, do you guys still not realize something? Their last name is carved over the newly renovated building, what pipe dreams you guys have."

"Rich owner... Damn, to think I would ever utter these words."

As Yan Huan anticipated, once the announcement was made, Spencer became instantly famous around the school.

Standing on the edge of the crowd, a young girl listens to the conversation of the students nearby and inevitably purses her lips.

On her shoulder, an illusory white snake sticks out its tongue and speaks to her,

"Satisfied with this punishment? She essentially got off scot-free, and yet you’re so concerned, running over here to check it out..."

An Le purses her lips, the worried look on her face undiminished,

"But if Spencer can’t join any clubs, she might be expelled if she doesn’t win in the club competition!"

"Would it not be good if she were gone?"

"Eh? Why... why would that be?"

Little Thumb blinks, thinks for a moment, and then says,

"Maybe it’s just an illusion, but every time she mentions Yan Huan, I get a chill... Don’t you feel anything?"

An Le could tell what Little Thumb was suggesting – that it doubted Spencer’s motives. An Le quickly defended Spencer,

"How could that be? Spencer said she would help to bring me and Xiao Huan together!"

"Heh, she’d better."

"And besides, it was her who stood up for me when Park Shuwen bullied me before. The situation turned out this way because of my issue with Park Shuwen..."

Little Thumb gives An Le a disgusted look, clearly irritated by the mention of this matter, and curses,

"It’s all your fault! You had the power I gave you, you could’ve taught Park Shuwen a lesson, and I could’ve even helped you alter memories afterward! But what did you do? You were too scared to even fart!"

While slapping An Le’s shoulder with its tail, Little Thumb continues to fume,

"Tell me, if only you’d been a bit braver, would we have any of this mess now?!"

"I’m... I’m sorry..."

Little Thumb snorts lightly and says,

"And you, stop being so nervous. Expulsion may seem like a nightmare to you, but she probably doesn’t even care.

"Spencer’s wealth is beyond your imagination. Stop being like a farmer fantasizing about an Emperor using a golden hoe to farm; the Emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is."

An Le opens her mouth but doesn’t agree with Little Thumb’s perspective. She just turns away and mutters softly,

"No matter what, I need to find a way to help Spencer..."

Little Thumb rolls its eyes again, but it’s not as furious as before.

It realizes that any behavior directed at An Le now had to be looked at with a dialectical view.

After all, she’s the only host – changing her would mean suicide, and even if it wanted to, a change was impossible.

So now, whatever An Le does, Little Thumb tries to find the positive side.

Just like now.

She won’t listen to its advice and keep a distance from Spencer, who gives Little Thumb a sense of danger.

But on the positive side, An Le started taking the initiative to look for solutions – quite a change for someone who’s usually timid.

Instead of harboring resentment towards An Le, the host, it’s better to focus on leveraging the good aspects and gradually eliminate the less desirable ones...

Thinking this, Little Thumb comforting itself lifts its tail and seemingly nonchalantly says,

"Speaking of which, isn’t Yan Huan responsible for this matter? He’s the President of the Student Council, after all. It’s better to seek his help than for you to buzz around aimlessly like a headless fly, right?"

"Yes... Yes, you’re right."

An Le’s tense face relaxes a bit after hearing Little Thumb’s reminder. She turns to head toward the stairwell, wanting to go to the Student Council office on the top floor.

But just as she enters the stairwell, she happens to see Yan Huan coming down from upstairs.

"Xiao... Xiao Huan..."

Seeing Yan Huan, her fair skin flushes with blood, turning a soft pink in the blink of an eye.

Her fingers subconsciously intertwine in front of her stomach, intending to avoid that embarrassing gaze.

Yet unaware that due to her movements, her arms squeeze her softness into a different shape, drawing even more attention.

"Um, Xiao Huan... I have something I’d like to ask for your help with..."

Yan Huan pauses slightly, then reveals a faint smile.

He points outside the teaching building and says,

"Perfect timing, I was looking for you too. I have some questions for you. It’s about lunchtime, let’s head to the commercial street outside."

"Eh? Looking for me... Ah... Alright... Alright..."

Little Thumb watches this scene with a smug look.

It was indeed exceedingly clever!

...

...

"Xiao Huan... shall we... shall we sit inside?"
