Chapter 631: Chapter 631 Going With The Flow

Principal Yang glanced at him, "If you want to go, follow along." Lu Siyuan and Shen Mianmian were known to be close, having been desk mates since middle school with a good relationship. He had even specifically instructed the homeroom teacher to pay attention to their conduct, to prevent premature dating from impacting their studies.

The outcome had reassured him; the two showed no signs of intimacy, and with one boarding and the other a day student, they had little opportunity to meet privately outside of the classroom.

When Wan Dongcheng arrived, he brought a pair of golden blooms. Going to No. 2 Middle School, he couldn’t afford to lose momentum and brought along a golden boy and girl, ensuring his entourage would outshine theirs.

Shen Mianmian was not one to provoke trouble, but neither was she afraid of it. If the principal was willing to stand up for her, she definitely couldn’t let him down. It was the perfect opportunity to show Wan Dongcheng a bit of her mettle and that she wasn’t to be trifled with, despite being a young girl.

The threesome set off without a second thought for Wan Dongcheng who was still standing in the office.

"Teacher Wan..." Seeing them actually heading to No. 2 Middle School to make a complaint, Zhao Xinlan became frightened.

Zhou Siyu also felt uneasy and instinctively glanced at Wan Dongcheng.

"Don’t be afraid, let’s go, we’ll also head back," Wan Dongcheng was naturally not afraid. At worst, he would no longer teach at No. 2 Middle School, but that didn’t bother him as he was not satisfied with the job anyway. As for Zhou Siyu and Zhao Xinlan, what did he care about their issues?

He had his own problems to resolve, with no extra energy to worry about others.

Zhao Xinlan and Zhou Siyu followed behind Wan Dongcheng, growing more uneasy the more they thought about it, "If we had known, we wouldn’t have come. Now look at the mess we’re in – we tried to steal a chicken only to lose the rice; if the school expels us, what will we do then?"

Zhou Siyu impatiently rolled her eyes at her, "I didn’t want to come at the time; it was you who insisted. Why regret it now?"

"What’s the point in bringing that up now?" Zhao Xinlan was dissatisfied with Zhou Siyu’s words, "By saying that, aren’t you pushing all the blame onto me and Teacher Wan? Don’t forget, we’re in this together. If I don’t fare well, don’t expect to get away scot-free either."

Her point was simple; if she was expelled, she wouldn’t let Zhou Siyu off easy and would reveal everything she knew.

Idiot, Zhou Siyu cursed in her mind but softened her tone outwardly, whispering, "We’re just students, we don’t understand anything. Teacher Wan asked us to come, so we followed. What does this have to do with us? What are you afraid of?"

"..." Zhao Xinlan was no fool; she immediately caught on to Zhou Siyu’s implication, looking at her in surprise, "That doesn’t seem right? Teacher Wan has been so good to us, how could we..."

How could we push all the responsibility onto Teacher Wan.

Looking at the distinguished figure ahead, she touched the money in her pocket. No one had ever treated her this kindly in her life; how could she betray Teacher Wan.

Zhou Siyu gave her a look, "Are you stupid? You yourself said last time that Teacher Wan’s wife has connections. At most, he’ll just get a few words of scolding from the principal and that’ll be the end of it. But if we take the blame, we might actually get expelled from school."

"..."

Zhao Xinlan regarded Zhou Siyu’s words with skepticism, wrestling internally with her conscience.

Wan Dongcheng had noticed their anxious expressions, but he deliberately remained silent. As they reached the gate of the school, he suddenly stopped, turned, and instructed them, "When you get to the office, push all the responsibility onto me."

He had thought it over during the walk; even if the school didn’t fire him this time, Li Yue wouldn’t let him off easy. It was better to earn some good will now — they might prove useful to him in the future.
