CHAPTER 21
FramedHolding a bag of chicken legs, An Chuxia remains in a trance. At her old school, the conditions weren"t as great but she was never called a maid either.
If her mother was still alive, she wouldn"t be living with the Han family; she wouldn"t be in Stein College; she wouldn"t have encountered Han Qilu or Mo Xinwei…
Tears silently stream down her cheeks.
“Oh, student, are you all right?” The supermarket cashier takes one look at An Chuxia"s tears and is suddenly concerned.
She shakes her head again and again saying it"s nothing. She runs out of the small supermarket so fast, she almost trips. Fortunately, she catches herself before falling.
She looks up at the blue sky. It seems her mother"s smiling face is looking after her.
“Mother, no matter how much pain I"m in, how much wrong is done against me, I will make your wish come true!” She grabs the chicken legs with renewed dedication.
On the other side of the playground, Ying Taoqiu scratches her head and apologizes to the teacher. “I am sorry teacher, I seem to have lost my memory. I didn"t mean to have you run around.”
The physical education instructor shakes his head. “It"s nothing. When do I have time to rest?” He refers to the Year One, Cla.s.s A.
“But there"s a girl who"s been clamoring to get to the supermarket to buy food. She said she was hungry. I let her run and then go to buy her snack. She seemed unhappy about it. Teacher, did I do something wrong?”
The physical education instructor nods. His eyebrows knit. “You did what"s right. How can one run away and eat? Stopping her was right. Who is she? I will train her! “
The teacher looks at Mo Xinwei for a long time before before speaking. “Teacher! I don"t know how I didn"t see her. She took advantage of me by slipping away while you were gone.”
The teacher"s face becomes more ugly. “If that"s the case, I"ll let her run ten laps!”
Ying Taoqiu chuckles heartily. Her heart leaps at the sight of An Chuxia coming back.
“Look, teacher! Don"t you see her? She"s still holding on to a bag of chicken legs? She doesn"t even hide it… .” Mo Xinwei"s malice is finally paying off. She can see the physical education instructor"s mood go black. This will definitely be a good show.
A sharp whistle breaks the air. “You! Come over here!”
An Chuxia is surprised. She approaches the physical education instructor: “Teacher, I… .”
“You do not have to say anything. Today, you"re running 10 laps as a penalty for eating!” This physical education cla.s.s is the last lesson for the morning. Finishing the 10 laps means the canteen would be closed by then. This is how angry the teacher is.
All thanks to Mo Xinwei.
“Why?” An Chuxia is completely confused about the situation. She looks angry. Then she catches a glimpse of Ying Taoqiu"s face. An "Aha! moment" sinks her heart. She"s been framed.
“You ask me why?” the physical education instructor tilts his neck while staring at An Chuxia. “Look at how good of a student Mo Xinwei is. Be like her.”
What you don"t see is that her heart is so ugly!
Chuxia"s cla.s.smates just finished their three laps and neatly lined up in front of the physical education instructor. Several of the students who have poor physical strength sit on the ground. Others breathe raggedly. Some are red in the face.
Fei Lixiya, who came back with a red face, would"ve been a funny sight if it wasn"t for the current situation.
