Chapter 21 The Witness w.a.n.g Tie Chuan
After Song Ye said that, the whole cla.s.s went quiet and silently looked at the expressionless girl as she crossed her legs. They thought that they might have imagined that.
The homeroom teacher also couldn"t help but to observe the girl in front of her whose personality completely changed. With the hair cut short, not only her face went up more than a tier, but even her personality also got a make-over, daring to speak up in front of the cla.s.s.
But as a teacher, she had to protect her pride and source of income as a teacher, and so, she also had to give a proper explanation of what happened. Without thinking much, she then frowned and looked at Song Ye,
“No matter the reason, the strong glue being applied on your table is an unchangeable fact. Go and stand outside the cla.s.s now; I will come back to hand you your punishment after Tang Mei Ling"s hand is dealt with.”
From the standpoint of an adult, she knew how to avoid conflicts.
But they were only children. The worst case scenario is them calling their parents over, it"s not that much of a problem at all.
Normally, these sort of thoughts would not be seen through by others, but the one she was facing against was Song Ye.
“Teacher, aren"t you afraid that your reputation as a teacher might be tarnished if you were to randomly punish a student without proper evidence?”
“What?”
The homeroom teacher was stupefied. Randomly? Tarnishing her reputation as a teacher?
Looking at the volcano that was about to erupt, Song Ye still remained unfazed.
“I had yet to touch my table from the moment I entered the cla.s.s and everyone in this cla.s.s can be the witness for it as well. And so, this also can prove that the strong glue was not applied by me.”
Her voice was loud and clear and everyone was able to listen to it properly.
But then, when the homeroom teacher glanced over to question, all the students then lowered their head silently.
“Looks like no one is going to be Song Ye"s witness.”
The homeroom teacher slightly raised her brow, her voice indicating the feeling of regret, but her eyes were filled with scorn.
“Song Ye, you should properly reflect over your own behavior. It"s one thing being uncooperative, but if you go on bullying your cla.s.smates and lying, what will be of you in the future?”
Song Ye scoffed coldly in her heart, being indifferent to the pretentious lecture. She then glanced around the students in the cla.s.sroom; even though nothing can be felt from her glance, it somehow still made them feel ashamed.
“Me!”
Amidst the silence, a silhouette suddenly stood up. Following the voice, the sounds of a chair and table crashing into each other could be heard.
Song Ye directed her eyes over. It was w.a.n.g Tie Chuan that was reprimanded by Tang Mei Ling earlier.
Although w.a.n.g Tie Chuan was not doing well academically, he was actually quite tall and excelled at sports, making him the sports representative of the cla.s.s. Even though he was only standing there, his face was actually red,
“I can be the witness for Song Ye. The strong glue was not applied by Song Ye but it was Zheng Feng that applied it to prank Song Ye.”
After the sentence ended, another silhouette hurriedly stood up. The short and chubby girl pointed at w.a.n.g Tie Chuan and shouted,
“Stop speaking nonsense, you hooligan! I did none of that! You"re pinning the blame against me!”
Hearing her calling him ‘hooligan", w.a.n.g Tie Chuan began to feel angry and walked towards Zheng Feng"s seat, in an angered tone,
“You f.u.c.king say that one more time!”
w.a.n.g Tie Chuan"s father was a rogue and so he was discriminated against and called a hooligan since he was a kid.
Zheng Feng was scared by his reactions and walked back one step, knocking into a table,
“Ah! Teacher, he wants to hit me!”
“Stop!”
The homeroom teacher was so angry it almost seems as if her eyes were on fire. She really wanted to chase out all these students out of the cla.s.s as they caused such a ruckus during the first day of school.
w.a.n.g Tie Chuan who had raised his hands up, was suddenly grabbed by someone. The soft and cold sensation had caused him to stiffened and when he turned his head over, he saw that Song Ye had stood behind him since who-knows-when,
“Let me settle this.”
The cold, four words that had no intonations was able to calm him down for reasons unknown. w.a.n.g Tie Chuan chewed his lips before subconsciously stepped back.
The jealousy of Zheng Feng who was by her table had grown wildly like gra.s.s, had her subconsciously scoffed,
“What, are you saying that you dare to do anything to me in front of the teacher- Ahh!”
Before she could finish her sentence, Song Ye had grabbed onto her arm and pressured her ulnar nerve. The pain from that caused her to squirm and jumped while screaming.
At the moment she had jumped away, Song Ye stretched her hand into her desk and grabbed a bottle of strong glue out of it.
“Teacher, with this, am I still guilty?”
Song Ye raised her hand and swung the item in her hand to the table in front of the homeroom teacher.
As a normal student, something like strong glue was not a necessity in cla.s.s. With the evidence shown in front of her, no matter how much she was unhappy with Song Ye, she had to point the gun towards Zheng Feng. With a dark face,
“Zheng Feng, head to the staff room immediately and call your parents over. You don"t need to attend this cla.s.s period today.”
“Teacher, I…”
Zheng Feng still wanted to say something but didn"t dare to say any more after being glared at by Tang Mei Ling.
The homeroom teacher then called a few boys to move the table away.
Seeing the mock in Song Ye"s smile, Tang Mei Ling was very sure that she did that on purpose to aggravate her and embarra.s.s her. As the belle of the school that had became the joke of the day, with her hand stuck on the table and being brought out, she was so embarra.s.sed that she was unable to raise her head. Thinking back on how things did not go the way she wanted it to, she had began to hate Song Ye even more.
With that, the first cla.s.s period ended up being a self study period; but the cla.s.s became busy as the students whispered to each other while glancing at Song Ye in between their whispering.
No matter her appearance or cold aura, Song Ye"s performance today was way too shocking and left a deep impression in the boys" and girls" heart.
Losing her table, Song Ye crossed her arms and quietly looked out of the window. The sunlight during a winter"s day hit her face, like a thin layer of sheet; her skin that was so fair that it almost appeared to be pale looked as if it was glowing. Her long eyelashes, amber colored eyes, and even the angle of her chin was attractive. In the cla.s.sroom of such a small town, her very existence seemed almost as if it was glittering as well.
Suddenly, she felt a presence approaching her. Song Ye then looked over and saw w.a.n.g Tie Chuan carrying his table on one hand and a chair on the other and placed it beside her.
Facing Song Ye"s calm glance, w.a.n.g Tie Chuan awkwardly scratched the back of his head for who-knows-why and laughed sheepishly,
“Thanks for stopping me earlier. And now with me sitting next to you, no one will dare to bully you anymore.”
I doubt anyone will dare to bully me.
Song Ye thought that but she did not reject him.
“Mmn, thanks.”
This boy for sure knew about Song Ye"s circ.u.mstances in the cla.s.s; and with him standing up to be a witness for her, there must be a disagreement among him and his peers. And so, she"s acknowledging his boldness.
Flipping over the textbook in her hand and looking at the familiar words, ever so rarely, Song Ye"s heart felt peaceful and warm.
