What Jiang Ling said was true. He once said that anyone who spoke ill of Su Rou behind her back would not get away with it. So last time, he beat up a girl, Yang Yu, if he remembered correctly. After that, she had been much more well - behaved.
When Jiang Ling said he wouldn't be lenient with someone, he meant it! After all, the Jiang family ranked third in City T. It would be a piece of cake for them to ruin someone. No one should ever cross the Jiang family.
Actually, everyone knew very well that the main reason for Jiang Ling's anger, besides the teacher closing the school, was mostly because of Su Rou!
The students looked at each other, but still no one stood up. The homeroom teacher simply moved a chair and sat on the podium. He couldn't believe that high - school students could be so scheming. They wanted to play the waiting game? Fine!
"Actually, I've already retrieved the surveillance footage. I'm sure the school will give me an answer before eight o'clock. I just hope that the student involved will admit their mistake voluntarily!" the homeroom teacher said casually.
Surveillance footage?
Yes, there were two surveillance cameras in each classroom, one in the front and one in the back. But usually, the cameras were only turned on during major exams. What the students didn't know was that in normal circumstances, the camera at the back of the classroom was always running. Its purpose was to prevent theft, fighting and other incidents among students. Unexpectedly, instead of catching any of those, it caught someone swapping the mango juice!
Ling Tiantian was shocked. Surveillance cameras? It couldn't be! The cameras were only turned on during exams. She knew this rule!
Oh, she got it. This must be the teacher's trick, trying to see which student would show a surprised expression upon hearing this! Thinking of this, Ling Tiantian quickly regained her composure and lowered her head to read her novel silently.
Time passed by second by second. At seven o'clock, it had already gotten dark. All the students were anxiously looking around. The homeroom teacher remained unmoved, slightly closing his eyes to rest.
The classroom door was gently pushed open, and a man in a work uniform walked in. He handed something to the homeroom teacher. "Teacher, this is the footage from this afternoon."
"Thank you. You've worked hard."
Seeing the video tape in the teacher's hand, all the students started to urge. "Play it quickly. I can't wait to see which idiot did it!"
"Teacher, hurry up. My mom's been calling to urge me."
Ling Tiantian gaped. Her round and chubby face showed surprise. There really was footage? How could there be surveillance cameras?
The homeroom teacher put the video tape into the projector and played it in front of the whole class. On that quiet afternoon, a chubby girl was holding a small bottle of yellow liquid. She squatted under Su Rou's seat. After a while, she stood up, threw the bottle into the trash can, and then walked back to her seat as if nothing had happened.
"This is... Ling Tiantian!" Since Ling Tiantian had always kept her head down, the surveillance camera didn't capture her face. At first, no one associated the girl in the footage with Ling Tiantian. But Xiao Yun and Yu Fei, who had been relatively close to Ling Tiantian before, were very familiar with her and immediately recognized her!
Everyone's eyes instantly turned to Ling Tiantian. Sure enough, the clothes were the same!
The homeroom teacher sneered and stood up. "Ling Tiantian, so it was you!" She was the girl who had locked the door and wouldn't let Su Rou in last time! Humph, it was her again!
"Damn it. If it was you, why didn't you stand up earlier!"
"Shit. You've wasted so much of my time!"
"Ugly people always cause trouble. Why do you keep picking on Su Rou?"
Ling Tiantian felt like she had suddenly become the center of attention, but this didn't make her proud at all. Instead, she blushed in embarrassment and stammered, unable to come up with a reason. After all, the evidence was conclusive!
"Ling Tiantian, you're really a strange one. Why did you do this? Does Su Rou have any feud with you?" It wasn't the homeroom teacher who spoke, but Jiang Ling. His face was gloomy, and everyone could feel a burning anger behind him.
Ling Tiantian watched as Jiang Ling walked towards her. She stood up nervously. The chair scraped against the floor, making a harsh sound. "What, what are you going to do..." Ling Tiantian didn't know if Jiang Ling would hit a girl, but he looked so terrifying!
"Because of you, we've waited for an hour and forty - five minutes. Do you know what we could have done in this hour and forty - five minutes?" Jiang Ling said as he gradually got closer to Ling Tiantian. The fist at his side was ready to strike as soon as he got close enough!
"Jiang Ling, don't use violence." The homeroom teacher quickly walked over to stop Jiang Ling.
"Teacher, using violence on her is already too good for her!" Xiao Yun crossed her arms and said. If Jiang Ling hadn't stepped forward, it would have been her and Yu Fei fighting with Ling Tiantian by now. "Teacher, you didn't see how badly Su Rou was allergic. She scratched her neck. The doctor said that if it had been a bit worse, she would have scratched through her blood vessels!"
The homeroom teacher really hadn't expected Su Rou's allergy to be so serious. She patted Jiang Ling's arm and said, "You misunderstood me, teacher. What I mean is, someone will deal with this culprit!"
...
At the Su family's villa.
"Brother Ze, can you take Little Cutie away? It always wants to lick my neck!" Su Rou was sitting on the sofa, trying to stretch her long and slender neck. Her hands were pressing on Little Cutie's head. She knew that Little Cutie just wanted to comfort her, but could the wound be licked casually? And there was medicine on it. Wasn't it afraid of poisoning itself?
Su Yuze walked out of the study. He simply called out "Little Cutie" in a deep voice, and Little Cutie let out a low whine, drooped its ears, and lay down on Su Rou's lap timidly.
It turned out that Little Cutie was a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Since Little Cutie had grown quite big, Su Rou really had to use all her strength to hold it down.
"Little Rou'er, stop playing. It's time to sleep. Resting early will help your wound heal faster." Su Yuze pulled Su Rou and went upstairs.
"Okay."
When they got to Su Rou's room, Su Yuze hesitated for a moment and then took Su Rou to his own room. "Brother Ze?"
"I'm afraid you'll touch your wound at night. Sleep with me."
"Okay."
Lying on Su Yuze's big bed, for the first time, Su Yuze openly pulled Su Rou into his arms, under the pretext of preventing her from accidentally touching the wound at night, so he had to hold her like this.
Su Rou felt strange being held so intimately for the first time. Her bare chest was pressed against his. "Brother Ze, let's sleep on our own sides."
"No!"
"..."
But it really felt strange.
