Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 189 Some Past Events

No, no, don't misunderstand.

"So, let me set the tone for this conversation: broaden our perspective, and try not to blame ourselves for things that can be blamed on others. This whole thing is Wu Xun's fault."

Xu Wanying chuckled and hummed.

Xia An said, "But..."

Seeing her glare at him again, he laughed and said, "But you're the kind of person who can forgive everything just by washing your hair, so if something like this happens again, you'll still have to be careful."

As you saw today, people were taking photos and making phone calls. School leaders are coming over soon, and as a school administrator, you're bound to suffer injustice and bear the consequences.

Xu Wanying sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it."

"There's no other way. People always have to swallow some grievances, wipe away their tears, and move forward, especially women. But it doesn't matter if you suffer grievances, as long as it's worth it."

Xia An twirled a lighter in her hand and said, "You're not a teacher who imparts knowledge and teaches skills, but a patriarch of students. If you really like this job, then there's no problem."

However, if you also hope that the real value of your work is to earn a living, then I still recommend that you pursue your major.

Either go home and focus on studying for the CPA exam, or start as a cashier.

Looking at each other across lifetimes, Xia An sincerely offered her some advice.

This time, he told Xu Wanying that the battery was completely dead and fell into deep thought.

An Audi A8 drove in; it was the director of the student affairs office and the vice principal.

Xu Wanying panicked a little and grabbed Xia An's sleeve, saying, "I'm scared."

Xia An chuckled and said, "What's the panic? Only a madman would talk nonsense like that. As long as he doesn't admit it, it's all just rumors."

Xu Wanying shook her head slightly, looking intently at Xia An: "I'm afraid to leave school."

"..."

A clump of snow was blown off the awning by the night wind and burst into powder next to Xu Wanying's little leather boots.

The bright white light elongated the two eerie shadows, and the air, heavy with the smell of disinfectant, passed between them.

There is a type of person who is full of spirituality and has an instinctive sixth sense for danger. They are not afraid of darkness, and have never even seen darkness, but they are unwilling to go deep into the crowd and avoid human beings in the human form.

It's because the combined effect of those things is so eerie and terrifying, but each individual part is not scary at all; sometimes, they even seem pitiful.

Female teachers are this kind of people: full of spirituality, yet frail and delicate, making them pitiful and endearing.

Her sense of security is almost zero.

Wu Xun's examination results showed only mild soft tissue contusion, but at the strong suggestion of the school leaders, the doctor still admitted him for observation.

The leaders showed kind and gentle concern for the student who jumped from the building, offering words of comfort and allowing Wu Xun to express his inner turmoil.

Wu Xun said he was under a lot of pressure from the exam, had drunk some alcohol, and had a moment of weakness. He sincerely apologized to the vice principal and the director.

When the vice principal reprimanded Xu Wanying, he took the initiative to say, "This has nothing to do with Teacher Xu, please don't blame her."

Xia An, who had just been praised for handling the problem quickly and steadily, watched from the sidelines the whole time.

Wu Xun's righteous and awe-inspiring expression, which he considered to be full of courage and self-righteousness, was fully captured in his eyes.

It seems they've completely forgotten that this knife was handed to them by him personally.
That's really childish.

Wu Xun's parents bought train tickets overnight and they will arrive the next day.

As the class monitor, Xia An's only remaining duties were to deliver a fruit basket and visit the students on behalf of his classmates.

For him, it's all in the past.

He doesn't want to care, doesn't like to care, and is even too lazy to care.

The school leaders ordered Xu Wanying to stay at the hospital tonight. After Xia An reported to Le Ning, who had been waiting for news without sleeping, she was also asked to stay with her.

In the unpleasant-smelling corridor where one couldn't speak loudly, Xia An told Xu Wanying, "My company is in a hurry to assemble a finance team."

Xu Wanying was stunned for a long time, looked at him suspiciously, and said something that even she found hard to believe: "I don't believe you have any ulterior motives."

Xia An scoffed: "You're prettier than Le Ning?"

Xu Wanying spat, her mood calming down a bit, and pursed her lips listlessly.

……

After daybreak, a teacher from the student affairs office came to cover for them, and the two went back to school together.

Xia An took a nap in the dorm in the morning. When the other girls came back at noon, she sat up with her eyes rubbing and saw Lu Yao in the opposite bed eating a boxed lunch.

The other two went about their business as usual, only asking a couple of simple questions about what happened last night, without saying much more.

Without even asking any questions, Lu Yao loudly directed his teammates into their headsets to move and draw the boss's aggro.

After Le Ning finished rehearsing in the afternoon, she and two other girls went to spend the night with Xu Wanying.

A day and a night passed, and the school did not issue any statement; the matter was forcefully suppressed. On Wednesday noon, Liu Xiao called Xia An, saying he was in the western suburbs on business and invited him to lunch.

In fact, Xia An called Liu Xiao the day he returned from Dongshan.

After all, Liu Fei was introduced through someone else, and no relationship should cross the line; it's immoral and disloyal.

But Liu Xiao said he was busy at the moment and would make an appointment when he had more free time.

So on the highway back to Binhai that day, he briefly told Liu Fei about his relationship with her over the phone.

At the time, Liu Xiao laughed on the other end of the phone and said, "Don't worry, Liu Piaopiao may not be the best in other aspects, but she always keeps her word and is very loyal to her brothers."

While waiting for his food at the old restaurant, Liu Xiao still used this sentence as his opening line.

Of course, this was after accepting the equity transfer agreement handed over by Xia An as a mouthpiece.

The fact that Xia An gave such a generous gift on their third meeting was not rash; rather, it was because he had indeed established a deep bond of mutual benefit with Liu Fei, and thus had no choice but to reciprocate Liu Xiao's gesture.

If we're talking about true buddies, Liu Xiao is Liu Fei's real buddy.

Liu Xiaoben declined, but Xia An said, "Brother Liu, I'm loyal to you too."

Liu Xiao accepted it, but signed it under the name "Jing Yun," and the dividend account was also in this person's name.

Xia An knew that Liu Xiao was not married and assumed that this was his lover. However, she was shocked during their meal and conversation.

Xia An still remembered the "Liu Piaopiao" anecdote from the last time at the "Only Him" ​​bar. Now that it had been mentioned again, even he, in his naivety, understood that Liu Xiao was waiting for him to ask questions so that they could have a deeper conversation.

The first dish was steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers, with the fish head facing Liu Xiao.

Xia An picked up a piece with her chopsticks; it tasted quite good.

"Brother Liu, what's the meaning behind Liu Piaopiao? It's strange, I've been thinking about it ever since we drank together last time, but I forgot to ask during my many days in the provincial capital this time."

Liu Xiao laughed heartily and recounted a story from their school days.

The gist is that Liu Fei has a crush on the school beauty of their year, but has never made a move.

"A secret crush can become an open secret."

Despite her weight, Liu Fei's family background meant that many female classmates found her chubby and cute, and they flocked to her.

Liu Fei rejected them all, and cursed back at each one who came to her—and she really did curse.

Liu Fei, who had never argued with her friends and buddies, used the dirtiest words to curse those women.

"Then, some observant people noticed that the way he looked at that school beauty was strange. Those lowlife girls started causing him trouble."

Xia An: "These things happen to every graduating class. And then what? Brother Liu took action?"

Liu Xiao scooped up a large mouthful of chopped chili peppers with a spoon and ate it, leaving Xia An speechless.

He then laughed and said, "His first move involved having outsiders get two girls who were already working part-time as hostesses drunk, and then leaving them naked at the school gate the next day."

Xia An's lips twitched, realizing she couldn't do it: "That's ruthless enough."

Liu Xiao shook his head: "I think it's fine. It's just a warning to others."

Xia An asked, "It might intimidate some people, but that girl has also been isolated, hasn't she?"

"Yes, she swallowed the harsh words underwater and lived alone for the next few years."

Xia An became interested: "So what happened in the end? Did Brother Liu finally speak up?"

"No, I'm sorry."

Liu Xiao drank his cola and said, "We're not in the same college as that girl, and Fatty Liu has never spoken a word to her."

The girl studied vocal music and had already made a name for herself before graduation. She was also very beautiful and could have pursued a career in acting.

Xia An was waiting, but...

"But just as his career was taking off, Liu Pangzi's older sister found out. Seeing that Liu Pangzi was obsessed and was no longer walking on the road paved by his family, she suppressed that girl."

Liu Xiao said, "It's been buried in the dust, and no one dares to use that kind anymore."

Xia An nodded in understanding; Cinderella is just a fairy tale. "And now?"

Liu Xiao smiled and said, "Washing dishes abroad."

As he spoke, he got up to go to the bathroom, but turned back at the door and grinned, "I bet you can find out about those past events by browsing the forums."

Xia An casually asked, "What's your name, senior?"

Liu Xiao grinned: "Jing Yun."

Xia An: "..."
