Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl
Chapter 51 Three Reasons

Chapter 51: Chapter 51 Three Reasons

"Those who want to see can gather around."

Zhen Yu spoke while opening Mou Jingjing’s pencil case, which only contained an old ruler and no compass.

Zhen Yu guessed that she might have hidden it and it looks like it was a wasted effort now.

Zhen Yu took out the fountain pen, mechanical pencil, and ballpoint pen, along with half a piece of eraser from Mou Jingjing’s pencil case.

Curious students were already gathering around, forming a small circle nearby.

After throwing the pencil case back onto Mou Jingjing’s desk, Zhen Yu turned to Fu Yu and said, "Paper."

Fu Yu promptly took out a notebook, flipped it open, and slid it over to Zhen Yu.

Zhen Yu handed the fountain pen to Qiao Xian, "Class monitor! Write something."

Qiao Xian, who had been paying attention to the situation the entire time, took the pen without saying a word and began to write.

"..." This became awkward. Aside from a few colorless marks, not a dime’s worth of ink came out.

-

The students were no fools; what else was there left to understand at this point?

Liu Ting had been looking at Zhen Yu the whole time but hadn’t spoken in her defense. Clearly, she wasn’t too familiar with Zhen Yu before junior high and did not know what kind of person Zhen Yu was.

Now that the truth had come to light, she was the first to shout, "Mou Jingjing, you lied! This isn’t the pen you lost!"

"Who knows if she really lost a pen? She might just be reversing the charges!"

Mou Jingjing’s face turned red with embarrassment, and she squirmed in her seat, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Fu Yu looked disdainfully at Wu Qiong, who had come to watch, and said, "I suggest you get a new pair of glasses! You’re almost blind with them on!"

Wu Qiong stiffened, biting back a retort, but her eyes reddened with anger.

"She claimed her pen was filled with black ink. Class monitor, could you check if it’s empty or never been filled?"

"Are you dumb? She said she’s never used her pen. How could it be empty if it was filled and never used?"

Qiao Xian, hearing his classmate’s remark, unscrewed the pen barrel only to find the reservoir tube completely transparent, showing no sign of ever being filled with black ink.

Qiao Xian screwed the pen back together and returned it to Zhen Yu.

To the onlooking students, he said, "Alright, alright, everyone disperse! I will report this incident to Teacher Cao."

-

As the crowd dispersed, Wu Qiong followed behind Qian Duoduo back to her seat.

Zhen Yu called out to her, "Wu Qiong!"

Wu Qiong stiffened, slowly turned around, deliberately puffed out her chest, and asked aloud, "What is it?"

"Don’t you think you owe me an apology?"

Zhen Yu’s voice was calm, betraying no particular emotion.

Qian Duoduo gently nudged her with an elbow, and Wu Qiong, with a rigid expression, murmured an apology and turned away.

Zhen Yu tossed the pen onto the desk casually and stepped out of the classroom to wash her hands.

On her way back, she wondered what was going through Wu Qiong’s mind. Could she be some kind of pervert?

As a habitual thief, shouldn’t she be terrified at the mere mention of ’thief’?

A thief should be wishing to vanish on the spot when someone discusses stealing, right?

Instead, Wu Qiong was the first to rush into battle, loudly proclaiming ’eliminating harm for the people’!

If Zhen Yu hadn’t known her true colors, she might have mistaken Wu Qiong for someone with an overwhelming sense of justice~

-

Just as Zhen Yu sat down in the classroom, the bell for the first class rang.

During the political science class, Zhen Yu and Mou Jingjing acted as if there was an insurmountable chasm between them, both avoiding eye contact as if the other did not exist.

Zhen Yu had no intention of tolerating her any longer.

As soon as the class ended, Zhen Yu left the classroom and headed straight for the teachers’ office building.

It was still as she remembered from when she was naughty and had to stand as punishment; Teacher Cao’s office was on the first floor, on the left-hand side, the very first one.

Knock knock---

"Come in~" Teacher Cao’s voice sounded from inside the door.

Zhen Yu pushed the door open and entered; inside were not only the homeroom teacher but also Teacher Qian.

Teacher Cao looked up, saw it was a girl from his class, and asked, "Do you need something from me?"

Before he finished speaking, the door was knocked on again.

"Come in~" Teacher Cao had to call out once more.

-

The one who came in was the class president, Qiao Xian. Seeing Zhen Yu there too, he couldn’t help but be startled.

Teacher Cao, observing their expressions and tones, said: "What’s going on today? Are you two here for the same matter?"

Zhen Yu glanced at Qiao Xian and turned her head back, then she was the first to speak: "I want to change seats! Three reasons."

Teacher Cao looked at her with slight astonishment. It was the first time he had seen a student come in stating their reasons up front. Shouldn’t they wait for him to ask "why" first?

Teacher Qian also stopped his work, turned around with interest, and listened intently from his corner.

"One, my straight ruler and compass are gone. I suspect my deskmate took them, but I have no evidence."

Teacher Cao’s mouth twitched in silence. With no evidence, why bring it up? Can suspicion be eaten as food?

Qiao Xian, however, sharply turned his head to look at Zhen Yu. Did she really lose them? Or is this retaliation tit for tat?

Zhen Yu kept an expressionless face while the three people examined her, continuing to speak: "Two, she went through my backpack without my permission, which is an invasion of my privacy! She also took my pen without asking, which is theft."

Teacher Cao lifted his eyebrows and looked at Qiao Xian with an inquiring gaze. Is that true?

Qiao Xian silently nodded his head.

-

Teacher Cao frowned and asked, "And the third point?"

Zhen Yu handed a note to the teacher, which stunned all the men present.

If you have something to say, why pass a note?

Aren’t you clearly indicating you don’t want outsiders to hear this?

Have you considered the feelings of the other two people present?

Obviously, Zhen Yu was worried about others being there and that the reason was not suitable to be spoken aloud, so she prepared the note in advance.

Teacher Cao unfolded the note and saw that the handwriting was very neat, perfectly upright without a trace of cursive.

The content had only eight characters---------The strange smell is too strong, it affects studying.

Under the word ’too’, two horizontal lines were drawn.

Teacher Cao sighed, folded the note, looked up and asked: "You wore a mask in class because of this?"

Zhen Yu nodded, "Yes."

Teacher Cao pursed his lips, thought for a while, then said: "You go back first! I’ll think about it."

"Goodbye, Teacher Cao. Goodbye, Teacher Qian."

Teacher Cao did not respond, his gaze already shifted to Qiao Xian.

Teacher Qian said softly in response: "Mm~ go on."

-

With his eyes in the corner of his vision, Teacher Cao watched Zhen Yu leave, and as soon as the office door was gently closed, he then said to Qiao Xian: "Tell me~ what’s the matter?"

Qiao Xian arrived at school earlier than Zhen Yu, because as the class president, he was responsible for keeping the classroom key, and had to be the first to arrive at school to open the door.

He narrated the whole event from start to finish objectively and then quietly waited for the homeroom teacher’s instruction.

Teacher Qian was quite interested in the matter. As soon as Qiao Xian finished speaking, he said: "Zhen Yu is quite smart~ Not only did she not make a big fuss, but she also exposed the other party’s lies, turning the tables."

Teacher Cao also nodded slightly in agreement. The incident had not blown up, giving him, the homeroom teacher, more room to maneuver.

"Qiao Xian, does Mou Jingjing have any close friends in the class?"

Qiao Xian understood that this meant a change in seats was coming. He had been in the same class as Zhen Yu since elementary school, and naturally sided with her somewhat.

Thinking of Wu Qiong repeatedly taking sides, he straightforwardly said: "Wu Qiong seems to have a good relationship with Mou Jingjing, she has always been helping her."
