Chapter 49: The tomorrow after tomorrow
No. 27 Middle School was huge, full of hidden talents and capable people. Ultimately, if nothing happened, Su Can, who only wanted a quiet, ordinary life with Tang Wu and had no intention of shocking everyone here, could guarantee that he would not stir up the slightest trouble.
As it happened, today's incident had turned the entire school upside down. Reportedly, even newspaper offices had been alerted afterward, and reporters had come. Several vice principals handled them. They were skilled speakers, freely acknowledging that a student had shown suicidal tendencies, but giving nothing else away. When the reporters tried to dig deeper, they got virtually no further answers.
Li Ying's case was naturally being dealt with urgently. Ordinary students had almost no access to subsequent news from the school, though she had reportedly been picked up by her parents during the later classes. Since the entire school's teachers and students had witnessed the incident, the homeroom teachers inevitably spent their lessons offering psychological guidance to their respective classes.
An undercurrent of talk about what had happened on the rooftop spread throughout the school, with people questioning and probing into every detail.
As the most crucial link in the incident, its focal point, all Su Can could feel was the increasingly heated discussion in his class and grade.
When school let out at noon, things were still relatively calm.
When he returned that afternoon, the extent of the discussion in class was obvious. Small groups chatting together began looking toward Su Can, their eyes evasive.
After the second afternoon class, clusters of students were pointing at him, and even the rest of the grade was growing restless.
It was like a pot of water over a wood fire, gradually heating up and sending off steam.
