The next moment, the School Bully suddenly grabbed the School Beauty. "Why are you talking so harshly? If you don't like him, why do you keep going up to him every day to fuss over him?"
The School Beauty froze, then bit her lower lip tightly, looking deeply aggrieved. "You're yelling at me? Would I have done that if it weren't for you?"
"Do you think I wanted to follow a cripple around every day, forcing smiles?"
"I really don't understand why you're so good to a cripple!"
That was far too harsh.
Hiss—Yin Ge's head began to ache.
What was going on?
He loved her, and she loved him?
What kind of love triangle was this?
Clearly, the School Bully himself was just as shocked.
"Y-You... what are you even talking about?"
He immediately released the School Beauty's hand and instinctively looked toward Zhang Zichen.
The School Bully's reaction made the School Beauty feel even more wronged, and she ran away crying.
At that moment, although Yin Ge could not see Zhang Zichen's expression, she could imagine just how heartbroken he was.
The School Bully became even more flustered. "Zhang Zichen, I really didn't know she felt that way. I don't like her!"
Zhang Zichen did not say a word.
"Wait here. I'll bring her back to apologize to you!"
After saying that, the School Bully chased after the School Beauty, leaving Zhang Zichen alone in the little garden.
Seeing this, the Dorm Supervisor turned and left.
Yin Ge heard soft crying from behind her. The sound was especially clear in the tranquil illusion.
Could it be that Zhang Zichen transferred schools because the School Beauty rejected him...? Yin Ge pondered silently.
She placed the School Beauty at the top of her suspect list, but the problem was that the Head Teacher had clearly used Discernment on the School Beauty, and the School Beauty had a Godhead.
Could it be that the Head Teacher was not the Son of Heaven?
Or did both the Head Teacher and the School Beauty possess Beasthood?
Yin Ge sank into thought.
Meanwhile, the Dorm Supervisor had not gone far when the sound of a fight suddenly erupted behind him.
"Fuck your mother! Who gave you permission to confess to her?"
A voice filled with rage rang out.
Hearing that voice, the Dorm Supervisor hurriedly turned back.
Then Yin Ge saw the class sports representative pin Zhang Zichen to the ground and beat him viciously.
Seriously? The sports representative liked the School Beauty too? Didn't teenagers have anything else to do during puberty...? Yin Ge was somewhat surprised by his arrival.
By that logic, the sports representative was a suspect too!
While Yin Ge was thinking, the Dorm Supervisor had already run toward them. "Hey! What are you doing?!"
Hearing him, the sports representative instinctively tried to run.
"Stay right there!" the Dorm Supervisor shouted with full force. "I already saw your face. Running is pointless. Come on, you're going to the Academic Affairs Office with me!"
The sports representative stopped, but there was not a trace of fear on his face.
Before long, the Dorm Supervisor brought Zhang Zichen and the sports representative to the Academic Affairs Office.
"Close the door," the Principal said with a frown.
Zhang Zichen sniffled and shut the door.
"Why is it you again?" the Principal asked in a lowered voice. "Didn't I just speak to you this morning? And now you're reporting back here this afternoon?"
He was speaking to Zhang Zichen.
"Make a call. Get your parents here!"
This was directed at both Zhang Zichen and the sports representative.
Yin Ge could hear the impatience in the Principal's voice.
At the mention of calling parents, the sports representative looked completely unconcerned.
But Zhang Zichen panicked. "Principal, I didn't do anything. He was the one who hit me."
"Regardless of who hit whom, since it happened, it has to be dealt with. We'll talk once your parents get here." The Principal handed his phone to the Dorm Supervisor.
The Dorm Supervisor passed it to the sports representative.
The sports representative quickly finished his call. When it was Zhang Zichen's turn, his arm trembled, and the phone shook with it. He seemed extremely resistant.
But before absolute authority, there was no room to negotiate about calling parents.
In the end, he still dialed the number and softly told his parents to come to the school, his voice trembling.
Did his parents treat him badly? He looked so afraid... Yin Ge wondered silently.
Before long, both sets of parents arrived.
Slap!
A loud slap rang out as the sports representative's father struck him hard across the face. "I sent you to school to study! Who told you to fight?!"
The sports representative's face immediately swelled up. Even Yin Ge felt it hurt just looking at him.
Seeing this, the Principal quickly stood up. "Please calm down, sir!"
"We asked you here to resolve the matter..."
Amid the chaos, Yin Ge kept her eyes fixed on Zhang Zichen. Both of his parents had arrived, and they were tenderly checking his injuries.
Yet Yin Ge was deeply puzzled. From the situation so far, Zhang Zichen's parents clearly cared for and loved him, but Zhang Zichen's earlier reaction had not seemed like that of someone from a harmonious family.
Could there be some hidden reason behind this?
Yin Ge decided to keep watching.
But throughout the entire process, Zhang Zichen's parents remained patient and fiercely protective of him. They even demanded that the sports representative apologize.
Even after the sports representative was taken away by his father, Zhang Zichen's father still bent over deferentially as he offered the Principal a cigarette and apologized.
"I'm sorry, Principal. My Zichen has caused you trouble."
"He's always being bullied because of his disability. This isn't his fault."
Was he saying those things in front of the child?
Yin Ge felt that was inappropriate. And he was being so humble that anyone who did not know better might think Zhang Zichen had been the one who hit someone.
Naturally, the Principal did not accept the cigarette. He frowned deeply and waved at Zhang Zichen. "Go outside first. I need to say a few words to your parents."
After Zhang Zichen left the room, the Principal sighed. "I know it isn't easy for parents like you to care for a child with a physical disability, but Zhang Zichen's mental state is extremely unstable."
"You've seen it yourselves. He gets into trouble at school every other day. For the child's mental health, I suggest that you arrange for him to transfer schools as soon as possible."
"That way, the other students won't mock him or bully him either, right?"
Transfer schools?
The moment Yin Ge heard those words, she perked up.
Zhang Zichen's transfer had something to do with the Principal?!
But she quickly dismissed that thought.
The Principal was a soldier, one of her people, but he could never be someone with Beasthood.
After that, the conversation between the Principal and Zhang Zichen's parents continued to revolve around transferring schools.
Yin Ge was certain that Zhang Zichen outside could hear every word.
Honestly, it was cruel.
But as an observer, Yin Ge could do nothing.
After the conversation ended, Zhang Zichen's parents left with him.
The Dorm Supervisor, however, remained in the office. Just as Yin Ge wondered why he had stayed behind, he opened his mouth.
"Principal, I saw them in the little garden today..."
The Dorm Supervisor began reporting the School Bully's movements to the Principal! From morning to night, from the cafeteria to the little garden, he spilled everything out like beans from a bamboo tube.
So the old man was an informant?
Yin Ge could not describe how she felt at that moment. She sensed the Principal's desire to control the School Bully, and it made her feel suffocated.
