Qi Weixin was crying loudly, for she had indeed said those words. At that time, it was just her vanity speaking, and Xiu Xi hadn’t been appointed as the class monitor yet. She wanted all her classmates to know that she had a good relationship with Teacher Hu and that it could have made her a candidate for class monitor.

Huang Li’s expression was very stiff because she knew her daughter might have learned to say such things from her.

She smiled awkwardly, with insufficient confidence, and said to Hu Lanzhi, "Teacher Hu, don’t listen to the child’s nonsense, we..." But before she could finish, Hu Lanzhi walked away with an ugly expression on her face.

Hu Lanzhi was very angry. She hadn’t expected Huang Li to talk such nonsense in front of her child.

She and her husband had met through an introduction. Her husband indeed knew Huang Li, but Huang Li had nothing to do with their marriage! And it wasn’t her who introduced them!

When Xiu Xi came out of the office, Little Fatty and Lu Zishu were peeking around, muttering something to each other.

Seeing him come out, the two immediately approached him, "Xiu Xi, what did the teacher call you in for?"

"I heard that Qi Weixin’s father is the vice-principal. Did he just give you a talking-to in there?" Lu Zishu also asked, his face full of gossip.

Xiu Xi couldn’t be bothered to deal with them, shook off their hands, and returned to the classroom. Behind him, Lu Zishu was still calling out, "Xiu Xi, if there’s anything wrong, just say it. We’ve been brothers for so many years, and I’ll definitely help you out. My dad knows the school leaders; I’ll get him to speak on your behalf."

"Is that even necessary?" retorted Little Fatty, rolling his eyes with contempt, "My aunt likes my little sister so much, why not just ask my little sister to say something for you?"

"..." Lu Zishu felt that statement really hit home.

Angry, he pounced on Little Fatty with a howl. Little Fatty, being quite heavy, was steady on his feet, spinning around with Lu Zishu for several turns. The two of them caused a ruckus along the corridor all the way to the classroom, chasing and frolicking.

Ruan Jiaojiao had only just woken up when Yang Tao immediately told her what had happened during the lunch break. She watched Xiu Xi return, then quickly went back to her own seat.

Ruan Jiaojiao was a bit worried. She was about to get up and go to him when she saw he had come back, followed by the boisterous Little Fatty and Lu Zishu.

"Brother Xi?" Ruan Jiaojiao called out, concerned.

"Thirsty?" Xiu Xi asked. Seeing that the bottle he’d brought was empty, he stood up to go get water from outside.

The school used water from a well, which was clean and hygienic. Ruan Jiaojiao followed him out, anxiously asking, "Brother Xi, Yang Tao said you were called into the office. Did they bully you?"

"No," Xiu Xi shook his head, handing her the water he had fetched, "No one can bully me."

"Really?" Ruan Jiaojiao looked at him suspiciously, still not reassured, "We’re best friends, you can’t lie to me, okay? If they really bullied you, I’ll tell my mom. She always knows what to do and will definitely help you get justice."

Ruan Jiaojiao never felt ashamed to rely on her parents, nor did she find it disgraceful to use connections.

Being bullied and not fighting back, having connections but not using them, that is the real foolishness.

"Really," Xiu Xi nodded, seeing her expression as if she would seek revenge for him if he really had been bullied, he felt warm inside.

Ruan Jiaojiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling thirsty herself, she tilted her head back and took a drink from the well water, then handed the water bottle to Xiu Xi. He also took a sip and found it exceptionally sweet.
