Chapter 94: 094 A family of three reunited!

On Sunday, something stirred within the class groups of Class 1 and Class 19.

Everyone was passing around two pieces of gossip, but many dismissed them as rumors.

However, by Monday, as soon as class began, Emperor Yang officially announced those two matters.

The first matter: Tian Hanwen had replaced 19’s math teacher, meaning Zhao Yuhuan no longer taught math to Class 19.

The students were overjoyed.

Zhao Yuhuan had been suppressing them for quite some time, treating them very differently from Class 1, her blatant favoritism left people speechless.

Some said that Zhao Yuhuan might have asked not to teach their class anymore because she felt she couldn’t save face after apologizing to Xia Ye in front of all the students on Saturday.

But what they didn’t know was that if Zhao Yuhuan only taught one class, she wouldn’t meet the required number of teaching hours, which would affect her future evaluations.

So no matter how much Zhao Yuhuan disliked Class 19, she wouldn’t have stepped down voluntarily.

The eventual outcome was entirely due to Jiang Xuan making a phone call to Tian Hanwen.

Jiang Xuan would never allow such a teacher to continue teaching Xia Ye.

Not just anyone could be Xia Ye’s mentor.

Emperor Yang’s first announcement could be described as universally celebrated, but the second matter...

Emperor Yang pointed towards Zhou Yao, then at Zou Wu, who always sat alone in the last row, "From now on, you’ll be his desk mate."

Yes, Zhou Yao had been transferred to Class 19.

It was her own request.

After the incident in the office that day, Zhao Yuhuan’s attitude left Zhou Yao utterly disappointed. Moreover, if she continued in Class 1, she would still have to share a desk with Xia Yourong.

Both of them made her sick to her stomach.

So Zhou Tian specifically went to see Principal Tian to discuss this matter.

With the college entrance exams looming, the homeroom teachers of key classes cared a lot about the atmosphere in their classes. Zhou Yao’s grades weren’t top-tier even in the key class, not to mention she was now a key suspect in the lecture incident.

When Tian Hanwen asked the other homeroom teachers, none of them were willing to take Zhou Yao.

Ultimately, no choice was left as Emperor Yang’s class happened to have one less student on average compared to others, so she ended up there.

She dropped from a key class to an ordinary class in no time, but Zhou Yao didn’t mind at all.

However...

She might not mind, but the students of Class 19 were very unwilling to accept her!

Zou Wu, who now had to share a desk with her, was the first to refuse.

"Bro Yang, I don’t want to be her desk mate! She’s the one who harmed Xia Ye, how could you bring her to our class?"

Zhou Yao’s popularity had never been great at school. She would always follow Xia Yourong around like a lackey, eager to suck up, and was rather opportunistic, often clashing with the students from the regular classes.

So when Zou Wu spoke up, the rest of the class immediately started discussing.

"How can she have the face to come to our class?"

"Dare to harm Xia Ye, isn’t she afraid that Tang Tianjiao will kill her with a gaze?"

"Bro Yang really, just to raise the class average, how unprincipled."

Although Zhou Yao’s grades were not at the top in her key class, in their Class 19, she would definitely be the top student.

Zhou Yao’s face went from red to white as she listened to the students discussing her.

She clenched the seam of her school pants tightly, "Believe me, I really didn’t do that. The photos of Xia Ye were indeed taken by accident, and yes, I showed them to Xia Yourong. Xia Ye, I’m truly sorry, I should never have treated you that way before, and I was really fooled by Xia Yourong. I never wanted to release those pictures. The principal said if they can’t find someone by Tuesday, they’ll call the police, and then the truth will definitely come out."

She sounded sincere, and her eyes were a little red too, she seemed truly anxious.

But her classmates weren’t convinced.

Now Xia Ye is really popular in class 19; everyone spoke out against the injustice for her after what happened on Saturday.

It wasn’t until Emperor Yang knocked on the lectern that the class gradually quieted down.

Emperor Yang said, "Regarding the incident at the lecture, the school will investigate it thoroughly. Until everything is clear, none of us should jump to conclusions or label any student with accusations."

Although he was somewhat sophomoric, it had to be admitted that he was a teacher with very proper principles.

In the current pressure of high school teacher evaluations and teaching targets, maintaining such integrity was not easy.

Tang Tianjiao had long known what kind of person Xia Yourong was; she actually believed more that it was Xia Yourong who had done it.

But, after all, the photos were taken by Zhou Yao. If she hadn’t carelessly shown them to Xia Yourong, there wouldn’t have been such a mess afterward.

After some thought, she decided to seek Xia Ye’s opinion.

She nudged Xia Ye with her elbow and whispered, "Do you want her to join our class?"

Even though whether a student joined their class was not for them to decide, if Xia Ye didn’t want it, Tang Tianjiao had ways to make Zhou Yao unable to stay in class 19.

Xia Ye idly played with his pen, casually smiling so handsome, "You said before, the little tag-along who used to play house with us when we were little, the one with a two-character name?"

Tang Tianjiao paused for a moment, not understanding why he would ask this, "Yeah? Xia Ge, I’m asking you about Zhou Yao. Are you letting her stay?"

Xia Ye tilted his head slightly, "Let her stay~"

Tang Tianjiao said, "Alright, I’ll listen to you."

Zhou Yao’s first morning in the new class wasn’t pleasant; although the students did not ostracize her like before and her new desk-mate Zou Wu just ignored her, she was troubled.

Until she could prove her innocence, she could not lift her head up high.

And just as she was thinking about this, on her way to the bathroom during the break, she ran into Xia Yourong.

Sometimes Zhou Yao really admired Xia Yourong. Even though they had openly fallen out, Xia Yourong still managed to approach her with a smile that was naturally warm and generous, just like before.

Xia Yourong said, "Yaoyao, can I talk to you for a moment?"

Zhou Yao was not going to be fooled again, and she snorted coldly, "No!"

With that, she turned and entered the bathroom, leaving Xia Yourong outside the door.

The moment Zhou Yao turned around, Xia Yourong’s expression showed a slight crack.

Xia Ye and Tang Tianjiao were washing their hands by the sink.

Upon entering, Zhou Yao saw them, her eyes cast down, feeling a bit awkward.

She knew Tang Tianjiao was fierce and she was on Xia Ye’s side.

When she was close with Xia Yourong, she had offended them more than a few times; now that she had had a falling out with Xia Yourong, Tang Tianjiao and Xia Ye would surely kick her when she was down.

Best to hurry up in the bathroom and then get out of there.

"Zhou Yao."

But before she could enter, Xia Ye called out to stop her.

Zhou Yao glanced elsewhere, her fingers pinching a bit, "What is it?"

Xia Ye turned to face her, taking two steps closer.

Tang Tianjiao followed behind.

Both of them were tall, with that kind of sharp beauty.

Zhou Yao instinctively stepped back, and the moment her back touched the door of the small bathroom stall, Xia Ye raised his hand to support the wall next to her head, looking as if he was about to... pin her against the wall.

Zhou Yao’s face turned red.

This was it, she was going to be bullied!

But the next second, she heard Xia Ye laugh, "Which kindergarten did you attend?"
