Chu Junyi had to admit that handing the position of class monitor to Pei Ruoqing was the right decision.
Although Pei Ruoqing did not like to talk and was emitting cold air, she was unexpectedly popular.
Of course, it could also be due to Pei Ruoqing's good looks. The girls in the class always used the excuse of problems to circle around Pei Ruoqing. There were also some boys who felt that Pei Ruoqing was very cool and always liked to pull him out to play. Although Pei Ruoqing did not like it very much, she did not go so far as to argue with a group of children.
Although Pei Yuan Shao and Shi Yunshu were surprised by Pei Ruoqing's good relations with others, they were also quite happy that their 'son' and younger brother could interact more with others instead of always being alone.
Every time summer was about to end, the weather would become colder with every rain. After another rain, people would put on their coats and Pei Ruoqing's monthly test results would be out.
Pei Ruoqing looked at the crowd in front of the results announcement board and turned to leave. He had a rough estimate of his score. He was about five points away from full marks, so it did not matter whether he looked at it or not.
When Pei Ruoqing was reading in her seat, the student sitting on his right seemed to have been injected with stimulants. He rushed in front of Pei Ruoqing and leaned on his table. He said excitedly," Pei Ruoqing, have you gone to see the results?”
Pei Ruoqing frowned imperceptibly. She put down the book in her hand and looked at Yang Xiaohui indifferently. Yang Xiaohui stood up awkwardly. At the same time, he was criticizing Pei Ruoqing's calmness and old-fashioned. Every time, he felt that he was interacting with his father and not his classmates.
"Not yet."
Yang Xiaohui looked a little excited again." Then do you know how many points you scored?”
"I don't know yet."
"598 points, only two points away from full marks.”Yang Xiaohui exclaimed.
"Yes." Pei Ruoqing nodded lightly. It was about the same as her own estimation.
"It's 598 points, more than 20 points ahead of the second place!”Yang Xiaohui saw that Pei Ruoqing did not have any reaction and repeated himself.
Pei Ruoqing looked at Yang Xiaohui and said," I heard it. You don't have to repeat it.”
Looking at Pei Ruoqing's calm expression, Yang Xiaohui could not come back to his senses. He thought in a daze, could this be the realm of a genius? Or was he too unambitious?
After the teacher announced the results, Yang Xiaohui felt a lot more at ease when he saw everyone's surprised eyes. It turned out that he was not the only one who felt that Pei Ruoqing's results were too heaven-defying. It was Pei Ruoqing who was too calm.
After the examination, Pei Ruoqing became the favorite of many teachers. Chu Junyi was even more merciless, treating Pei Ruoqing as an assistant and ordering her around. She was surprised to find that Pei Ruoqing was even more useful than an assistant. When she chatted with Mr. An at home, she would often mention Pei Ruoqing, which made An Chengxi very curious about Pei Ruoqing. He wanted to know what kind of child could make his wife like her so much.
Let's not talk about this for the time being.
When Chu Junyi realized that Pei Ruoqing did not feel any pressure at all after completing her instructions, and that it did not affect her studies at all, she went even further to squeeze Pei Ruoqing.
There were many times when he would even hand over the teaching materials for Pei Ruoqing to prepare. After realizing that Pei Ruoqing was doing very well, he would feel even more at ease and leave things to Pei Ruoqing. He would even tease Pei Ruoqing without any psychological burden, trying to make his expression richer or say a few more words. In the end, he would end up failing every time, but he was still happy.
Just like that, two weeks later, Pei Ruoqing tried his best to avoid his form teacher when he was completing the tasks assigned by Chu Junyi. However, there were times when he could not avoid her, just like today.
Pei Ruoqing was carrying a pile of teaching materials and was about to deliver them to Chu Junyi. Her usually expressionless face had a hint of joy. Pei Yuanshao and Song Yuyan had to work overtime today and would not be back for dinner. Hence, Shi Yunshu felt that it would only be the two of them if Pei Ruoqing were to eat out. In his previous life, Shi Yunshu had never treated him to a meal.
Pei Ruoqing was deep in thought as she hugged the documents when a strong force pushed at him. He was caught off guard and before he could react, he fell hard on the stairs. When his knees and arms hit the stairs, there was a muffled sound and the documents scattered all over the floor.
This fall was so severe that Pei Ruoqing was in so much pain that she could not come back to her senses for a long time. She almost could not control the flow of her tears. After a while, she stood up, her posture was unprecedentedly pathetic.
He turned around and looked behind him. Guo Haoran was looking at him smugly. Wang Shaoqian and Tao Yeyu were also standing behind him. They were gloating and watching a good show.
Pei Ruoqing's expression turned cold as she looked at them." Who pushed you?"”
The few of them looked at each other with obvious smiles on their faces." Who would dare to push you, Class President? You clearly fell down by accident. Why are you slandering us?"”
Wang Shaoqian and Tao Yeyu also echoed," That's right, class monitor. Although you're the class monitor and have the support of the class teacher, you can't frame a good person like this.”
"Haoran and Shaoqian are right. It's wrong for the class monitor to slander us like this. Be careful that we tell the dean and give you a demerit.”
Pei Ruoqing glanced at the few of them and said emotionlessly," Who pushed you? Apologize."”
The few of them were so frightened by Pei Ruoqing's dark gaze that they took a few steps back. Guo Haoran, who was the closest, said with a trembling voice," S-Sorry.”
Pei Ruoqing glanced at them and turned around to pick up the teaching materials and documents that had fallen to the ground. He was ready to leave. He was not in the mood to argue with the children for the time being. Anyway, there was still a long time to go. He could just keep them and slowly clean them up in the future.
Guo Haoran came back to his senses and was a little embarrassed. He was actually frightened by Pei Ruoqing, this pretty boy who liked to put on an act.
Looking at Pei Ruoqing who was about to leave, Guo Haoran roared angrily," Pei Ruoqing, stop right there.”
Pei Ruoqing turned around and looked at Guo Haoran indifferently.
Guo Haoran looked at Pei Ruoqing. This arrogant expression of hers made his anger even greater. He hated Pei Ruoqing's appearance to the core, especially this expressionless look. It was as if no matter what he did, it would not move him at all. She was like a clown.
"You're just someone who's not liked by your parents. What's there to be arrogant about? Who are you pretending to be cold all day for?”Guo Haoran said maliciously.
Pei Ruoqing pursed her lips, but her expression did not change. If one ignored his pale face, Pei Ruoqing turned around and prepared to leave, ignoring Guo Haoran.
Guo Haoran looked at Pei Ruoqing, whose expression had changed. He was a little proud and continued," Why did she leave? I still hit the nail on the head, so he couldn't refute.”
Guo Haoran quickly caught up to her." Pei Ruoqing, what are you so arrogant about? Back then, we were classmates in primary school. Who didn't know that your mother hated you? Who asked you to be a jinx? You died the moment you were born. Your grandfather, grandmother, and even your father didn't like you.”
Pei Ruoqing did not react and continued to walk forward.
Guo Haoran was even angrier by Pei Ruoqing's behavior." Pei Ruoqing, stop right there.”
Pei Ruoqing turned her head and looked at Guo Haoran indifferently." No matter what, I'm not someone who can be evaluated like a stray dog who came out of the capital.”
Then, he turned around and continued forward, completely ignoring Guo Haoran.
"You're just a shameless bastard…Ah!”Before Guo Haoran could finish speaking, he let out a miserable cry.
When Pei Ruoqing heard Guo Haoran's words, her expression instantly turned cold. Her eyes were like ice. She casually threw away her lesson plan and turned around to kick Guo Haoran in the stomach.
Guo Haoran followed closely behind Pei Ruoqing. He did not expect that Pei Ruoqing, who was indifferent no matter how she provoked him, would suddenly hit him. Therefore, he was kicked without any warning and immediately took a few steps back. He fell to the ground and cried out in pain.
Pei Ruoqing followed closely behind and grabbed Guo Haoran's collar. She gave him a few harsh slaps. Wang Shaoqian and Tao Yeyu, who had regained their senses, pulled her back. Pei Ruoqing kicked Guo Haoran a few more times and was pulled back a few steps by Wang Shaoqian and Tao Yeyu.
Guo Haoran struggled to stand up. His face was swollen and bruised as he cried. He wanted to beat Pei Ruoqing up, but Pei Ruoqing was held tightly by Wang Shaoqian and Wang Shaoqian. She looked coldly at Guo Haoran's sorry state.
"What are you doing? Stop!”
Before Guo Haoran could do anything, he was stopped by a loud shout. The dean dragged his fat body and ran over quickly.
Guo Haoran turned around and looked at the dean who was running towards him. He kicked Pei Ruoqing and took a few steps back. Wang Shaoqian and Wang Shaoqian also let go of Pei Ruoqing.
"You guys, what's wrong? The school is a place for you to study, not to fight. Guo Haoran, what happened to your face?”The dean panted.
The Head of Teaching was Wei Tiedai, who was 45 or 46 years old, less than 1.7 meters tall, and had a fat physique. He was also Guo Haoran's uncle.
"Uncle, Pei Ruoqing was the one who hit me. We only had a few words and I have already apologized to him. He still hit me. Help me teach him a lesson and fire him.”Guo Haoran cried when he saw Wei Tiedai.
Wei Tiedai frowned and said," How many times have I told you? Don't call me uncle in school. Call me director."”
"Headmaster, you have to teach Pei Ruoqing a lesson. He dares to hit people in school just because he's good at studying and has the support of his form teacher. He clearly doesn't put you in his eyes.”
"Pei Ruoqing, the school clearly states that fighting is prohibited. You have blatantly violated the school rules. Have you not taken the school rules and us teachers seriously? Apologize to Guo Haoran.”
"Chief Physician Wei, isn't it unfair for you to ask me to apologize without asking for the reason?”
Wei Tiedai raised his voice and said," No matter what the reason is, you shouldn't have hit your classmate.”
Pei Ruoqing frowned slightly." Guo Haoran suddenly pushed me down when I was going up the stairs. He even provoked me and insulted my parents. If there's an apology, he should be the one to apologize first.”
"Director, Pei Ruoqing is lying. If you don't believe me, you can ask Shaoqian and the others.”
Wang Shaoqian and Tao Yeyu were stunned for a moment. They looked at the arrogant Guo Haoran and said," That's right, Director. Pei Ruoqing is lying. He hit someone for no reason. Director, you have to punish him severely. You can't let this kind of behavior go. Otherwise, it won't be good if the students follow suit in the future.”
Wei Tiedai looked at Pei Ruoqing again." What else do you have to quibble about? Could it be that these two students are maligning you? Hurry up and apologize. Call your parents over tomorrow and write a 5000-word self-reflection.”
"They're in cahoots. Naturally, when the excuse came, the director didn't clarify the facts first and asked me to apologize. Is it appropriate?”
Wei Tiedai was furious." Who is your form teacher? Call your parents over immediately. You maliciously beat up and scolded your classmates. You even spoke rudely to your teacher. Is this how your parents taught you? Or are you born without a mother?”
Pei Ruoqing pursed her lips tightly. Her eyes were cool and cold, with a hint of anger. He was a person who rarely had emotions. He rarely had emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. Unless it was something that touched his principles, he rarely got angry. Even if he was angry, he would not say it out loud. He would only stare at that person with a gaze that could freeze people to death.
Wei Tiedai was a little short of breath when he saw Pei Ruoqing's gaze. He then angrily interrupted Pei Ruoqing's words," What kind of gaze is that? Immediately, immediately call your parents over."”
Pei Ruoqing had left Shi Yunshu's number when she registered, so when Chu Junyi called, Shi Yunshu was the one who picked up the call. When he heard about the matter, Shi Yunshu immediately threw away the paper he was halfway through and rushed to Chu Junyi's office according to the address she gave him.
Before he reached the door, he heard a woman's cold voice coming from inside." Director Wei, there must be some misunderstanding. Pei Ruoqing would never hit someone for no reason. It's better to investigate before deciding whether to give her a demerit.”
Immediately after, another thick voice said,"What misunderstanding can there be? The other two students can testify. As the dean, I won't accuse him wrongly. This matter doesn't need to be any worse. Deal with the demerit. Also, write a 5000-word self-reflection and read it aloud at the flag-raising ceremony.”
As Shi Yunshu walked closer, the voice inside became clearer. Shi Yunshu could not help but frown. The office door was not closed and was open. Shi Yunshu knocked on the door.
Chu Junyi said without turning her head," Please enter."”
Shi Yunshu glanced indifferently at Pei Ruoqing who was standing at the side before looking away.
"Hello, teachers. I am Pei Ruoqing's parent. May I ask what happened?”
" You are Pei Ruoqing's parent?" Wei Tiedai looked suspiciously at the gentle young man in front of him.
"Yes, I am Pei Ruoqing's brother. If you have anything to say, you can tell me.”
When they heard the voice, the two people who were arguing looked towards Shi Yunshu. When they saw Shi Yunshu, Chu Junyi's eyes were filled with amazement. Shi Yunshu was already used to such looks of admiration. However, after Chu Junyi sized him up, she let out a " huh " before looking away.
Just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted." Student Pei Ruoqing, you openly challenged the school rules, beat up your classmates, and contradicted the teacher. You must be dealt with severely. I hope that as parents, you will educate her properly.”
When Shi Yunshu heard that, he could not help but frown.
"Before the matter is investigated, it's better for Director Wei to be careful with his words. Don't casually accuse a student.”Chu Junyi said.
"What do you mean I wronged him? The two students had witnessed it with their own eyes, and the injury on Guo Haoran's face was the best proof.”
Pei Ruoqing looked at Wei Tiedai's ferocious expression and pursed her lips." Director Wei, as the dean, you have made a rash judgment before the matter has been investigated. You have violated the responsibility of the dean and spoken ill of the students. You have violated the morals of a teacher and acted arrogantly as an example for students and teachers. I didn't do anything wrong in this matter. I won't apologize, and I won't accept the so-called demerit."
Wei Tiedai was so angry that his hair almost stood up. He pointed at Pei Ruoqing and was speechless for a long time.
"Little Ruo?" Shi Yunshu looked at him. His gaze was neither pressing nor scorching, but it made Pei Ruoqing's heart tighten.
Shi Yunshu glanced at him indifferently." You want me to call Uncle-Master?”
Pei Ruoqing knew that Shi Yunshu was a little angry for saying such words, but…
"This is what you should say to your teacher. Apologize.”
Pei Ruoqing looked at Shi Yunshu's cold expression and slowly blinked. She was a little stunned. However, when she met Shi Yunshu's gaze, she lowered her eyes and bowed." I'm sorry. I misspoke.”
Chu Junyi could not help but frown. She looked at Shi Yunshu with displeasure. Pei Ruoqing did not say anything wrong, so why should she apologize? If it was not for the fact that she was also a teacher and Wei Tiedai's usual behavior, she would have said this a long time ago.
However, this was Pei Ruoqing's family after all. She could not say anything more. Hence, she looked at Shi Yunshu with a little anger in her eyes. To think that she thought that his voice was nice. She did not expect him to be such a person.
When Wei Tiedai heard Pei Ruoqing's apology, he snorted and turned his head away.
However, how could Shi Yunshu be satisfied? His younger brother had apologized so rudely. His lips moved, but he still did not ask for a second apology. A child who needed a lesson had better go home and clean up, so he said,"I'm standing at the door."
Pei Ruoqing's body stiffened slightly. Towards Shi Yunshu, it was different from Pei Yuanshao. Towards Shi Yunshu, he always had an indescribable hope. But he still…
"Yes."
After Pei Ruoqing left, Chu Junyi looked at Shi Yunshu and asked," May I know your name?”
Shi Yunshu said apologetically," Just treat me as a junior. I'm very sorry for what happened today. I've troubled you. My name is Shi Yunshu.”
When she heard Shi Yunshu's name, Chu Junyi asked in surprise," What did you say your name was?
Shi Yunshu smiled warmly." I'm called Shi Yunshu.”
Chu Junyi was finally certain that the youth in front of her was the person she was thinking of. She smacked her lips and looked at Shi Yunshu with a subtle gaze.
"This teacher said that Ruo 'er beat up a classmate and contradicted the teacher. Then, what's the cause and process of the matter?”
" This…" Wei Tiedai paused for a moment before continuing," Pei Ruoqing and Student Guo Haoran had an argument. After Student Guo Haoran apologized, she even hit him.”
"What quarrel happened? Who started it? Who started it? Ruo 'er said that you said bad things to your students just now. I want to know the details. After all, we can't just listen to one side's answer, right?”
Shi Yunshu's gentle gaze stared intently at Wei Tiedai, causing Wei Tiedai to feel extremely frustrated and unable to speak for a long time.
He knew what Guo Haoran was like. He didn't need to know what had happened to know that he must have provoked him first. It was even more likely that he had attacked first. However, if he didn't protect Guo Haoran now, his aunt would definitely make a scene with him.
However, he definitely couldn't say that it was Guo Haoran's fault. Otherwise, at this time, demerits would be light.
Chu Junyi nodded. That's right. She had thought that Shi Yunshu wanted to settle the matter peacefully and force Pei Ruoqing to apologize. As expected of that fellow's junior brother, his words hit the nail on the head.
"The other two students present also proved that Pei Ruoqing was the one who attacked first and did not restrain herself when I arrived.”
"Where are those two students now?”Shi Yunshu asked.
"I went to the hospital with Mr. Guo.”Chu Junyi continued.
"If I remember correctly, The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China has installed cameras in every corner for the safety of the students.”Shi Yunshu's voice had lost its gentleness.
Chu Junyi frowned and said," That staircase is a blind spot. The surveillance cameras can't capture it.”
" I don't think there's anything else to say about this matter. Pei Ruoqing hit someone first and then contradicted the teacher. She has no regard for the school's organization and discipline. She has been given a demerit and is ordered to write a 5,000-word self-reflection. I hope that you parents can educate your children well.”Wei Tiedai said with a happy expression. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. When he passed by the door, he even gave Pei Ruoqing a smug look.
Chu Junyi's brows were tightly knitted together as she said to Shi Yunshu," Little Mister Shi, please bring Student Ruoqing back first. I will think of a way to clarify this matter. I believe that Student Ruoqing would not hit someone for no reason."”
After saying that, he was not in the mood to continue chatting with Shi Yunshu. He waved his hand, indicating for Shi Yunshu to go back first.
Shi Yunshu was a little stunned. He looked at the worry on the young teacher's face. He did not expect her to be so attentive to his younger brother. He bowed and said," Thank you for your trouble."”
