Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Strangers to Each Other

"Let’s put an end to this matter! From now on, let’s not talk about it anymore. Wu Qiong has admitted her mistake, so she is still a member of our Junior High School First Class. We should give her a chance to correct her own shortcomings!"

Cao Yong turned to look at Wu Qiong, and said in a calm tone, "Wu Qiong, go back to your seat."

Wu Qiong had been standing with her head down below the podium. At this moment, when she heard the head teacher call her, she subconsciously looked up and went back to her own seat under Cao Yong’s serene gaze.

After Wu Qiong took her seat, Cao Yong gestured with his eyes towards Qiao Xian.

Class Leader Qiao swiftly stood up and called out, "Stand up!"

The students stood up reflexively, ’shuffling’ to their feet, and said in varying volumes, "Hello, teacher!"

Unknowingly, the practice of calling ’stand up’ at the start and end of classes, brought over from elementary school, had changed from being a routine to only being called when the teacher needs it.

If before class the teacher feels that the students are lethargic, or too hyped from break-time play, he would signal Class Leader Qiao to give the call, otherwise, he would just begin the lesson directly.

Consequently, after two months of practice, Class Leader Qiao had fully mastered the skill of ’interpreting eye signals.’

Before every class, he would attentively watch the teacher, fearing that the teacher would cast a ’flirtatious glance’ and he would miss it, which would be so damn embarrassing...

Two classes passed without incident; Bai Xue did not come looking for anyone in the class again.

Zhen Yu felt that the history teacher might have vented her enthusiasm for targeting Han Mingyue.

Repeated interruptions have probably worn away her impulse to go after Han Mingyue...

After school, Bai Xue made a big deal out of the incident, with both Han Mingyue and Zhen Yu listening quietly.

After a few twists and turns, Han Mingyue didn’t care about losing face anymore.

The boys were united in their animosity, and one after another, they came up with childish and foolish ideas.

Han Jiayang even exclaimed angrily, "I’m never listening to her classes again!"

"Jiayang! You can be angry at her, but you can’t joke about your own studies!" Han Mingyue said seriously.

"But she treats you like this, I just get angry looking at her! Screw listening to her class!" Han Jiayang spat out bitterly.

Zhen Yu spoke with righteous indignation: "She teaches history, but history isn’t hers to own! You’re not learning her personal belongings; why should you give up on your own studies because of her?!"

Han Jiayang was taken aback, and Zhen Yu added: "The way she teaches is just by the book. History is a subject to memorize facts. If you don’t like her teaching, just read the book yourself! I’ll help you highlight the important points later!"

"Xiao Yu is right! If you don’t do well, she can use your grades to attack and teach you a lesson! But if you do well, you don’t have to care what she says." Han Mingyue continued: "Talking back isn’t necessarily off the table."

Not just Han Jiayang, even Bai Xue and Zhen Yan were swayed by their words, finding themselves pondering one question.

So, this means, no matter what happens with other subjects, you must do well in history, right? Otherwise, when that wretched woman scolds you, you just have to stand there and take it!

-

The next day, Thursday.

Although head teacher Teacher Cao had already spoken in class, during the ten-minute break between classes, there were still a few girls who ran to target Wu Qiong.

From their conversations with Wu Qiong, Zhen Yu could tell that they had been made fun of by their peers, more or less.

Even when Zhen Yu and Liu Ting went to the restroom together, they couldn’t escape this.

"I was just squatting in the stall, and the girl next to Liu Ting suddenly half-jokingly said to her, ’I heard there’s a thief in your Junior High School First Class!’"

Liu Ting’s dark face actually flushed red at these words, her tone was angry, but her rebuttal voice was hollow, "She is her, my class is my class!"

The girl who asked the question snickered when she saw that Liu Ting was really annoyed, and didn’t continue.

But that laugh was full of sarcasm, and even Zhen Yu felt extremely uncomfortable when she heard it.

-

After the last class in the morning, most of the students lay down on their desks for a nap after lunch, except for Zhen Yu who was still reading.

Wang Ping entered the classroom from outside and headed straight to Wu Qiong, stopping at her desk.

Initially, Wang Ping was speaking in a low voice to Wu Qiong, perhaps considering the classmates sleeping during the lunch break, not wanting to disturb others.

But as they spoke, his voice grew louder, and when Wu Qiong burst out with a roar, not only Zhen Yu, but also most of the students were startled, sitting up straight.

"Are you done, Wang Ping?!" Wu Qiong roared as if she couldn’t take it anymore.

"I’m not done!" Wang Ping’s voice was even louder, "I treated you as a good friend! And you even stole my things! No wonder they all say I must be blind!"

"I didn’t! That was clearly something you lent to me! And later you didn’t ask for it back..." Wu Qiong’s voice started off quite assertive, but unfortunately, the second half revealed a hint of guilt.

Before Wang Ping could reply, Mou Jingjing suddenly interjected, "Tsk! Who knows if what you’re saying is true! Shouldn’t you take the initiative to return things you borrowed?"

Wu Qiong turned her head and glared in anger.

But Wang Ping immediately agreed, "Exactly! Besides, I don’t remember lending anything to you?! If I did lend it to you, why didn’t you return it after you were done?"

Wu Qiong was silent for a long time, and Zhen Yu silently observed, thinking she was gearing up for a big move, but instead...

Wu Qiong suddenly let out a thunderous cry, and sat down abruptly, burying her face in the desk, crying so hard that her whole body shook.

What’s going on? Why does it suddenly feel like the grievance of Dou’e in the snow of June?

Zhen Yu stared at Wu Qiong’s shaking back, lost in thought. When she came back to her senses, she saw Wang Ping with a troubled expression, standing at Wu Qiong’s desk, not knowing whether to stay or leave.

As Wu Qiong was crying, she suddenly stood up and pointed her index finger at Wang Ping, "I want to end our friendship! From now on, I won’t have anything to do with you!"

Wang Ping was initially a bit guilty from Wu Qiong’s crying, doubting whether she really remembered wrong, but was suddenly yelled at by Wu Qiong, unable to back down, and immediately retorted with a flushed face, "You think I still want to deal with you? Thief! If it’s over, then it’s over!"

After saying that, she turned around and went back to her seat angrily, while Wu Qiong, after a brief silence, collapsed onto the desk and started crying again.

-

From that day on, the relationship between Wang Ping and Wu Qiong dropped to a freezing point, and two friends who used to be inseparable became strangers in less than twenty-four hours.

And during the history class on Thursday afternoon, Teacher Shen also made an announcement.

"Zhen Yu is not compliant with the teacher’s orders and is not proactive in helping classmates and teachers with their work. I have decided to remove her from the role of class representative and appoint Tian Jia as the new class representative."

The students probably anticipated this, so there wasn’t much reaction, just quietly observing Zhen Yu’s expression.

She had an indifferent face.

As it was something she didn’t care about to begin with, naturally there was no reaction.
