Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Geng Haifan, “…”
He coughed, feeling very embarra.s.sed.
“That… that… I just contacted their form teacher. Regarding this matter, we will definitely take it seriously and deal with it accordingly! We will give Ning Li and Mr. Lu an explanation.”
In fact, he had thought about a lot of ways to make his explanation, but when he was in front of Lu Huaiyu, he realized that those words were very difficult to say.
Although Lu Huaiyu was very young, he had an aura about him. Even if he just stood there without saying or doing anything, he still made people feel a faint sense of awe.
Not to mention, this time, the fault was on their end.
Ning Li watched from the side.
Actually, she did not really care about this matter.
If it had been a normal day, she would just have listened to it, but she would not have taken it to heart.
However, it just so happened that Lu Huaiyu had also been here today.
Now it seemed as if this matter was… not so easy to move on from.
She tilted her head and looked at Lu Huaiyu.
However, at this moment, his expression remained normal as per usual. Nothing was revealed.
He raised his hand and looked at his watch.
“The parent-teacher conference is about to begin. Let’s get busy with this first. We’ll talk about the rest later.”
He was clearly much younger than Geng Haifan, but he carried a sense of n.o.bility deep in his bones. In addition, he had been in a high position for a long time, so he naturally took the initiative in the conversation.
Hearing this, Geng Haifan heaved a sigh of relief.
Earlier, when Lu Huaiyu had come over, his expression and his aura had been cold. He had been worried that this matter would be difficult to handle.
Fortunately, Lu Huaiyu had given him a way out.
“Mr. Lu, please.”
Lu Huaiyu looked at Ning Li.
“Wait for me outside the cla.s.sroom.”
Ning Li, “Oh.”
With that, Lu Huaiyu followed Geng Haifan into the First Cla.s.s cla.s.sroom.
Many people in the corridor looked over.
Ning Li walked to the back door of First Cla.s.s and pulled out a chair to sit down on.
She took her phone out, intending on playing a game to pa.s.s the time. However, she was a little impatient and could not get into it, no matter how hard she tried.
She simply put her phone away and leaned against the back of the chair.
“Ning Li.”
He Xiaochen walked over quietly. She gave the rest of the cla.s.sroom a look and lowered her voice, “Your Second Brother also heard Zhou Cheng’s confession?”
Ning Li replied with a “Hmm”.
He had made it so ostentatious that the entire Second High School had heard it.
What was even more awkward was that not only had Lu Huaiyu heard it, he had also heard it with her at the side of the field.
Zhou Cheng had obviously seen her there, so he had deliberately chosen that time to go up on stage.
He Xiaochen looked at her sympathetically.
“This… your Second Brother should be quite angry, right?”
Previously, when Ning Li and Pei Song had been rumored to be having a puppy love, he had come over.
That had just been a photo and a rumor which actually did not count as anything, but this– The whole school knew about it.
“It should be… alright.”
Ning Li said with some uncertainty.
He Xiaochen sat down next to her.
“It doesn’t matter if your Second Brother is angry or not, I think the whole school is about to go crazy. This junior brother is too tactless.”
Ning Li did not say anything.
The matter had already happened, nothing could change it.
He Xiaochen looked at her and comforted her.
“Don’t worry! In the end, this matter is all that junior’s fault! Even if the school wants to deal with it, it will definitely only be aimed at him. It won’t implicate you.”
Ning Li was too innocent.
“Don’t take it to heart!”
He Xiaochen smiled.
Ning Li rubbed her temples.
She did not actually care about this at all.
She was… thinking about Lu Huaiyu.
…
After Zhou Cheng had made his confession, he had been taken to the office before he could attend the awards ceremony.
Only the other students on campus were still happily talking about it.
…
The parent-teacher meeting this time lasted for a full hour.
First, Geng Haifan had a.n.a.lyzed the results, then focused on the matter of college entrance exam application.
Finally, he looked around the cla.s.sroom.
“That’s about it. Parents, if you have anything else you want to ask, you can bring it up.”
As soon as he had finished speaking, a low and lazy man’s voice sounded in the cla.s.sroom.
“Everything else is easy to talk about. There’s only one point: it’s near the college entrance exam, so the students’ time and energy are very precious. I hope that your school can strengthen the management of the relevant aspects and not let other messy things interfere with the students’ minds.
“Especially… puppy love.”
A layer of sweat covered Geng Haifan’s forehead.
However, before he could say anything, the other parents sitting below quickly echoed this sentiment.
“Yeah, this matter is quite important!”
“That’s right, that’s right. It’s even more important at this time that we can’t relax on this matter!”
“It seems like there was a public confession on the radio today? This will affect the childrens’ studies!”
“That’s right…”
When the incident had happened, many parents had also been present.
Young people were easily stirred up by such things.
It was reasonable for parents to be worried.
Even if Lu Huaiyu had not mentioned it, there were still a few parents who had been prepared to talk about it.
Geng Haifan silently sighed. He could only rea.s.sure them one by one, repeatedly ensuring that the school would handle this matter seriously and resolutely preventing similar incidents from happening again. Only then did the parents gradually calm down.
After that, other parents raised other questions, and Geng Haifan patiently answered them in detail.
Eventually, the parents came out of the cla.s.sroom one after another.
Geng Haifan and Lu Huaiyu stayed behind.
Ning Li turned her head and vaguely heard them mention Zhou Cheng’s name.
Then, she saw the two people walking towards her.
She stood up.
“Second Brother.”
Geng Haifan rubbed his hands together and said, “Ning Li, I’ve contacted their form teacher. He said that Zhou Cheng is willing to apologize to you in person, and Mr. Lu agrees. What do you think?”
Ning Li was a little surprised.
Lu Huaiyu and this…
Geng Haifan added, “His punishment depends on your att.i.tude to a certain extent. So…”
So, she still had to go this time.
She nodded.
…
As soon as Ning Li had walked into the office, she saw Zhou Cheng standing there with his head lowered.
A middle-aged man stood in front of him, holding a teacup and talking until his mouth was dry.
“Old Liu.”
Geng Haifan called out.
The middle-aged man immediately looked over, and Zhou Cheng also raised his head.
“This is Ning Li, and this is her second brother, Mr. Lu.”
After Geng Haifan introduced his ident.i.ty, the middle-aged man looked apologetic.
“I’m really sorry that our cla.s.s student has caused you so much trouble… Zhou Cheng! Quickly come over and apologize!”
Zhou Cheng took a step over.
Even though he had been reprimanded, his expression remained relaxed.
Young people were always rebellious.
He looked at Ning Li and said, “Senior Ning Li, I’m sorry for disturbing you. But… I still have to say, I just like you.”
His homeroom teacher immediately glared at him.
“Zhou Cheng!”
At this moment, Zhou Cheng was being exceptionally stubborn.
He raised his head slightly, carrying the spirit of a young man.
“Teacher, I think it’s not wrong to like someone.”
“You–”
The atmosphere in the office instantly tensed up!
Suddenly, a soft laugh broke the dead silence.
Lu Huaiyu tilted his head slightly and looked at Zhou Cheng. He raised his eyebrows slightly and gave a faint smile.
“You’re not the only one who likes her.”
