Qin Lu’s fingertips lightly brushed against her cheek in a suggestive manner. He lowered his gaze, reflecting the girl’s bewildered and innocent expression, then chuckled softly.
“These three words, it’s not suitable to say them now. I hope, in the future, I can hear you say them to me in person,” he said.
As she thought about the three words Qin Lu wanted her to say, Yanyan realized which three they were. Her cheeks began to flush slightly, but fortunately, it was nighttime, and he couldn’t see her blush.
Qin Lu had no intention of making her uncomfortable. After all, he had prepared this fireworks display to make her happy.
Yanyan raised her head, gazing at the brilliant sky, and it felt like all her worries had vanished in that moment.
Qin Lu stood by her side.
She looked at the sky, and he looked at her…
They returned to the old mansion from the outskirts, and it was exactly 10:59 PM.
One minute short of eleven.
Punctuality was one of Qin Lu’s distinct traits. When he said he would take her home at a certain time, he meant it.
Yanyan unbuckled her seatbelt and obediently said, “Goodbye, big brother.”
Qin Lu’s features softened, and he replied, “Get some rest.”
“Okay.”
The next day was Monday, and Yanyan went to school.
As she entered Class 4, she overheard her classmates whispering about something.
The words “headmaster” and “dismissed” reached her ears.
“What’s going on?”
Yanyan’s voice was cold, and the classmates who were quietly discussing the matter were startled when they heard her.
“Boss, you don’t know yet?”
Seeing Yanyan’s expression, which seemed genuinely unaware, Gu Yuhao quickly explained, “Just this morning, there was a sudden announcement on the school’s website. It said the headmaster had abused his power, causing a negative impact, so he has been dismissed and fired.”
After hearing the news, Yanyan didn’t even enter the classroom. Instead, she turned and walked out.
Some students in the class called out, “Hey, Boss, where are you going? We’re about to start class!”
Another classmate said, “Are you kidding? The Boss has a great relationship with the headmaster. Now that the headmaster is in trouble, wouldn’t she be worried?”
“Yeah, you’re right…”
Gu Yuhao pursed his lips and added, “Honestly, I don’t believe the headmaster would abuse their power and do something harmful to the school. There’s definitely something fishy going on here!”
“Exactly, I also think there’s something wrong. The headmaster has always been dedicated to the school, especially when everyone questioned the Boss and wanted her to drop out. It was the headmaster who supported the Boss, preventing her from being expelled…”
“Alright, everyone, let’s stop discussing this. Let’s focus on our studies. Don’t forget, we promised the Boss that we’d improve our average score by twenty points in this exam. We can’t let her down!”
With Gu Yuhao’s words, the discussion ended, and everyone took out their books and began studying seriously.
After leaving the school building, Yanyan didn’t go to the principal’s office. Instead, she left the school, hailed a taxi at the school gate, and went directly to the headmaster’s house.
When Luo Xiaojun heard the doorbell and saw Yanyan standing outside, she was surprised.
“Yanyan? Why are you here?”
Yanyan nodded to her and asked gently, “Is the headmaster home?”
“He’s at home. Um, Old Yu…” Luo Xiaojun turned and shouted, “Hurry up and put out your cigarette. Yanyan is here. Don’t let her get choked by the smoke!”
Then she turned back to Yanyan and said, “Yanyan, come in quickly. I will make some delicious food for you. Stay for dinner!”
As soon as he heard that Yanyan was coming, Yu Xiwen’s face showed a moment of astonishment. He quickly extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and got up to open the windows in the room.
Just as he finished opening the windows, Yanyan entered the house with Luo Xiaojun.
However, after not seeing the headmaster for just two or three days, Yu Xiwen seemed to have aged ten years in an instant, looking quite dispirited.
“Yanyan, why didn’t you go to class today?” Yu Xiwen tried his best to maintain a normal demeanor and didn’t want Yanyan to notice his unusual state.
However, he then realized that the school had already posted an announcement on the campus website, and Yanyan’s visit indicated that she was aware… Sigh…
Yu Xiwen sighed and didn’t know how to face Yanyan.
Yanyan walked up to him, her clear black-and-white eyes locking onto him.
“After such an incident, you still didn’t come to me. Do you think that what I told you before was a lie?” She asked, her tone carrying a sense of urgency.
“In any case, I’m tired, and I want to rest. It’s fine for me to step down like this.”
“Is this what you genuinely think?” Yanyan asked with a smile devoid of emotion, her tone pressing.
Yu Xiwen:
This student has such a strong temper…
He almost couldn’t bring himself to look directly at her anymore.
“Yanyan…”
Yu Xiwen felt embarrassed and wanted Yanyan to give him a little face, not to be so blunt with her words.
How could he possibly mean what he just said?
He was inexplicably burdened with the stigma of abusing his authority, damaging the school’s interests, and getting dismissed. Not only was he expelled from the school, but he would also be subject to an investigation and possibly face legal repercussions.
He had become so despondent that he wanted to take his own life along with those people!
But what could he use to confront those people?
He had been teaching for a lifetime, had no background, and no connections. He could only accept this injustice.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Luo Xiaojun quickly went over to Yanyan, offering her some fruits to eat.
Yanyan glanced at the headmaster, who was sitting on the couch, took out her laptop from her backpack, and turned it on.
She placed the laptop on her lap, and her hands moved quickly on the keyboard.
Yu Xiwen sat awkwardly across from her, not sure what Yanyan was doing.
“Leave this matter to me. Consider it a vacation for you during this time. Relax and take it easy. Take your wife with you for a trip somewhere. Don’t overthink things. I’ll handle it, and you can come back when it’s resolved.”
“Yanyan, what do you intend to do?” Yu Xiwen’s expression suddenly became anxious. “Don’t act recklessly. Those people are not people you can afford to offend!”
Without looking up, Yanyan calmly said, “There are people I can’t afford to offend, but I’d like to see how they make it so I can’t afford to offend them.”
“Yanyan, listen to me. This matter is very complicated, much bigger than you think. Don’t act impulsively. I don’t really mind, I can retire early. It’s just that mv wife’s health isn’t good, and I planned to take her to the countryside to recuperate.”
“I had originally planned to wait for a few more years, but now, I don’t have to wait. It’s fine.’
Yanyan placed her hands on the keyboard, looked up at him, and said, “You can retire, you can take her to the countryside for her health, but I won’t allow you to leave like this without knowing the truth.”
Her voice became more serious, “You may not care, but I do..”
