After all, we just... How could it be possible that the next day...

Now that the backyard is temporarily safe, we can face the enemy in front of us with peace of mind and fight the battle in front of us.

Xiao Yao dressed neatly and rode his bike to school.

It was a sunny day in the morning, but now it has become cloudy. It may be the difference in weather between Zhouzhuang and Modu - anyway, it is not a bad thing in summer.

Xiao Yao locked the car, put his hands on his hips, and stood at the gate of St. Francis Middle School.

Chapter 131 In this campus, only one of you can stay

2024-03-17

It was a sunny day in the morning, but now it has become cloudy. It may be the difference in weather between Zhouzhuang and Modu - anyway, it is not a bad thing in summer.

Xiao Yao locked the car, put his hands on his hips, and stood at the gate of St. Francis Middle School.

The gate of St. Francis Xavier's School is not very high and the surrounding walls are also very low.

On the marble next to the gate, the words "St. Francis of Assisi High School, Magic City" are engraved in large gold letters, and below is the signature of the prime minister at the time.

The wall on the other side of the school gate was covered with ivy. After being cleaned up manually, a plaque emerged from the ivy.

There is a sign engraved on it that says "Immovable Cultural Relics".

Behind him is the side door of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, and the walls are also covered with vines.

The plaque of "Immovable Cultural Relics" proclaims the long history of this so-called "century-old prestigious school". Xiao Yao can still remember what kind of expectations for a new life he had when he walked into here a year ago.

Over the past year, I have entered and exited this door countless times, with different moods each time, but.

Today he actually felt that this gate had a vague aura of the gate of Bluebridge Prison.

This school has never been more oppressive.

If in Teacher Yao's mind, school is a big KTV, a love hotel, a place for free learning and free development, then what is school in the mind of the respected Teacher Song?

Teacher Yao...

Xiao Yao turned around and looked towards the church.

How great it would be if Teacher Yao were still alive.

Shaking his head to dispel the random thoughts in his mind, Xiao Yao walked into the school gate.

Perhaps it was an instinctive delay, or perhaps there was really something wrong with the plate of scrambled eggs he had at noon, the boy felt a slight pain in his stomach. He climbed a few floors and went into the men's restroom cubicle.

He had just fastened the bolt on the inside of the compartment door when he heard two people's footsteps coming in.

"Teacher Song, our St. Francis has always emphasized the people-oriented approach. We are the pioneer in the city's quality education curriculum reform and the pilot project. Would you like to reconsider it?" The person who was speaking sounded familiar, but I couldn't tell who it was.

Then, there was the "click" sound of the lighter.

"Thank you, I won't smoke. No matter how much quality education you receive, don't you still have to take the college entrance examination in the end? Don't schools still have to look at the admission rate?" This was of course Song Haijian's voice: "Your St. Francis is a key school in the district, and the college entrance examination admission rate has always been 100%. But with people like this, in two years, the school's admission rate, tsk, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it..."

"Teacher Song is wrong. Xiao Yao is only in the first year of high school. He will be in the second year in the second half of the year. If it doesn't work, just let him repeat the grade." Another voice said, "It's too early to conclude that he will affect the school's admission rate and give up on his education. Also, what do you mean by our Saint Francis?"

"I made a mistake, Director Lin." Song Haijian said, "I have taught many children who are not good at studying and taking exams. Xiao Yao is not the worst among them, but moral corruption is another matter. Xiao Yao has a lot of bad deeds in the past year, you should know better than me.

"I won't talk about failing exams, not handing in homework, skipping classes to surf the Internet, and getting my hair permed. A few days ago, Wang Ming, a good student in our class, came to tell me that Xiao Yao had ordered Zhang Jialong and Dai Yu to beat him up outside the school. Of course, I'm still investigating this matter."

"Is this true?" Director Lin asked.

"But these are not what I care about most. Since the first semester of my freshman year, he has been stalking and sexually harassing Yu Luying, the top student in my class, with the tacit approval and connivance of the former head teacher. Director Lin, is this true?"

"Teacher Song, this is all in the past. You're still bringing up the past. Ah, that's too much. This place is different from Sujiang. We are very tolerant of students' love."

"Yeah, love is consensual. What's the point of being persistent on one side?"

"Yes, Xiao Yao's pursuit behavior is inappropriate. I also talked to him and criticized him last semester. But Mr. Song, as far as I know, at least now... their relationship is, ah, a two-way relationship, right?"

"This is what I cannot tolerate the most," Song Haijian said excitedly. "Under the long-term sexual harassment of a gangster, a girl, such an introverted and even a bit cowardly girl, a good student, was finally forced to agree to accept his pursuit and then was forced to check into a hotel with him. Can this kind of thing be condoned?"

"Ah this..."

"What kind of bad example is this? Next time other bad boys like someone, will they follow suit? Director Lin, think about it. If this gets out, people who know that St. Francis is a key school in the district will think we are a technical school, while those who don't will think we are a technical school."

"nonsense!"

WTF? What kind of horrible mental completion drama and divergent thinking is this? Xiao Yao roared in his heart.

Do you have any paranoid delusions?

Director Lin spoke fairly: "Teacher Song, you just came here, and many things, ah, cannot be based on hearsay and imagination. And now, ah, you also know that Yu Luying's mother also came to see me yesterday, and the parents now agree with this matter..."

"Okay then," Song Haijian said bluntly, "Let them get married right here, and I won't be taking care of these two children anymore."

"Teacher Song," Director Lin said earnestly, "When we do our work, especially our educational work, we still can't let our emotions get in the way, okay?"

"Director, if you don't fire him, I won't be able to carry out my work... Alas."

Then, the two teachers inexplicably lowered their voices and seemed to start whispering to each other about something.

Xiao Yao held his breath and waited for a few minutes. Song Haijian's voice gradually became louder again: "... He has filled out 7 violation forms with Teacher Yao. According to school rules and regulations, when he fills out the third violation form, it will be entered into the file and he will be punished. But what did Old Yao do? Every time he filled out the third form, he put the first two into the shredder and recalculated-"

"The Yao people actually have good intentions... What a pity."

"What kind of teacher you have, what kind of student you will have. If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked!" Song Haijian said loudly: "Director Lin, don't blame me for saying something unpleasant. Old Yao is already a stain on your reputation - our school. Do you admit it? When the principal invited me here, he said that I could bring some changes. Director Lin, you said the same thing."

"Well, if you really want to punish him, go ahead and I won't stop you." Director Lin sighed, "But if you want to expel someone for having duplicate exam results, you can't justify it anywhere."

"Since there's no one else here, I'll tell you the truth," Song Haijian said in a slightly lowered voice, "Stealing the test questions is just an excuse. I want to expel Xiao Yao because he has a bad style and a bad influence. But Yu Luying is a girl, a victim, and a top student in the grade with a bright future. We must protect her reputation, so we can only hold Xiao Yao accountable for the crime of plagiarism..."

Xiao Yao reacted and quickly took out his cell phone to prepare to record.

"If you force Yu Luying to testify against Xiao Yao, she won't listen to you. They have a very good relationship now." Director Lin told Teacher Song.

Oh my god, where is the recording function in this new phone that Shen Jie bought?

"Oh, the feelings of children are not worth a penny," Song Haijian sneered. "I saw a lot of them when I was in Sujiang. I broke up at least 100 couples out of 80. Do you know what they called me?"

"Alas, Teacher Song, why are you doing this..." Director Lin sighed.

"Now I have a solution. As long as Director Lin cooperates with me..."

"How can I cooperate with you?"

Song Haijian lowered his voice again and muttered to himself for a while.

"Oh no, no, no, you're going too far. Tsk, actually, this is a problem of work style... Teacher Song, I did promise you, no, it was the principal who invited you to come to this school, ah, this grade, this class to bring a breath of fresh air and change, ah? But you can't just copy Su Jiang's approach here, after all, this is the Magic City..."

"I know you guys are studying - our school never interferes with students' romance," Song Haijian said, "but this is no longer a childish matter. Ah, they checked into a room outside the school, with three people, and he was with two girls," Song Haijian patted his palm with the back of his hand, "Yu Luying is a good student, and she was a good girl before, right? She was dragged into this by him. And our class monitor, Chen Lu, was also dating a bad student. If you really want to date, you and your good students can join forces, and maybe there will be a chance to improve your academic performance, right?

"But pests like Xiao Yao and Zhang Jialong are like cockroaches. They will not die on their own. They are the source of the plague. If you don't cut them off quickly, a large area will die immediately. The most important and difficult thing to change a bad trend is to start..."

"Teacher Song, I understand what you mean. The school cannot tolerate such cohabitation and renting a room outside. But listen to me, the situation is like this..."

Judging from the noise, Song Haijian and Director Lin seemed to have finished smoking and pouring water, and the sound gradually faded away.

Xiao Yao squatted in the pit, his legs and palms were numb.

--split line--

On the other side, in Song Haijian's teacher's office, Yu Luying was sitting with a plastic cup of hot tea in her hand.

She was the only one in the huge office, and the old air conditioner was no longer able to operate effectively, which made her feel very cold.

I should have worn a smaller jacket before coming here.

Teacher Song and Teacher Lin were very polite to her, as always.

But the demands they made were beyond her acceptance.

The office door creaked open and it was Teacher Song and Teacher Lin who came back.

"How is it, Yu Luying? What have you considered?" Teacher Song's voice arrived before he even showed up. He walked to the desk that originally belonged to Teacher Yao, sat down, and picked up his enamel teacup.

Teacher Lin sat a little further away with his arms folded, a complicated look on his face, and did not speak.

"Teacher Song, I have nothing to think about. No matter how many times you ask me, I will give the same answer." Yu Luying replied calmly, "I will not testify that Xiao Yao cheated, because that is not the case at all."

Teacher Lin couldn't help but ask, "Yu Luying, how do you know he doesn't have it?"

Yu Luying shook her head and said, "That is, I don't know whether he cheated or not. I can't testify about things I don't know about."

"Yu Luying, why don't you understand?" Song Haijian said kindly, "Teacher Lin and I both want to help you."

Yu Luying remained silent.

"You are an excellent student. I think we all know this." Teacher Song continued, "As long as you keep up your current momentum, you can choose any of the top universities in Shanghai. Even if something goes wrong, our school still has places for recommendation. It's not bad for liberal arts students to go to Peking University, right, Teacher Lin?"

"Yeah." Director Lin nodded sullenly.

"But if you destroy your future, no one can help you." Teacher Song's tone began to become serious: "In front of school rules and regulations, it doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want just because you have good grades. We will treat everyone equally."

"Ah." This time, without waiting for Teacher Song to ask him, Director Lin took the initiative to answer.

"Indeed, you have only taken a small step in the wrong direction. But if you don't realize the seriousness of the problem and don't stop before it's too late, it will be a big step towards an unhappy life in the future." Teacher Song raised his index finger and said, "It is heartbreaking that adolescent girls have been influenced by some bad boys and made some irreparable mistakes. It's not too late to mend the fold... The teacher knows that the main responsibility does not lie with you, but with the temptation and even coercion of some bad students."

"Teacher Song," Yu Luying suddenly raised her head: "Regarding the incident of spending the night in Qingpu that day, I think I have explained the situation many times. If you don't believe me, I can go to the hospital to get a report to prove that we did not violate the code of conduct for middle school students, and that girl can also -"

Seeing this usually shy girl suddenly say "make an appraisal report" so boldly, both Teacher Song and Teacher Lin were stunned.

"Don't be stubborn!" Teacher Song slammed the table and said, "Don't you understand the seriousness of this matter? Just for this matter, the school can persuade both of you to drop out, but Teacher Lin and I are unwilling to do so. We all know that you have been bewitched and influenced by bad boys. In order to protect your reputation and your future, we gave you such an opportunity. I hope you can respect yourself and cherish the opportunity given by the school..."

"Teacher Song," Yu Luying frowned. Perhaps because she didn't rest well last night, she needed to adjust herself to see Song Haijian's expression clearly. "Haven't I made it clear enough? I don't know whether Xiao Yao cheated or not. I don't know whether he stole the test questions or not. I can't prove anything for you. As for why our exams are highly similar, I don't know either. If the school wants to use this to prove that I cheated, then I am willing to accept any punishment.

"Xiao Yao and I have always been friends, and we have never done anything improper. Even if there is any emotional entanglement between us, it is of my own will. He has never forced me to do anything, not in the past and not now. What you said about him sexually harassing me before is completely false and a rumor.

"This is my position. I will not change it. I am willing to accept any punishment from the school, even if you ask me many times."

"Friends, voluntary, well said." Teacher Song put the teacup aside and continued, "If I remember correctly, your mother is a very devout Christian, and your uncle also serves in the church, right?"

"so what."

"Although I am not a religious person, I know a little about the teachings and rules of Catholicism, so I believe that nothing really happened to you in the hotel that day, otherwise your mother would not be in the position she is in today."

"Then why are you still holding on to this matter?" Yu Luying asked angrily.

"As your teacher and your school's head teacher, I have the ability to do what your mother and the church cannot do. I also have the obligation to pull you out of the quagmire of the future." Song Haijian opened his arms and acted righteously.

"I know my limits when making friends with people, my grades haven't dropped, and the school doesn't object. So why is my future such a quagmire? What makes you so arbitrary?" Yu Luying was so angry that she laughed.

"I have experience, bloody experience!" Song Haijian suddenly became emotional. He stood up and walked quickly to another table: "A girl like you who has a bright future, once you are entangled by a pest like Xiao Yao, in a few months you will become..."

"Teacher Song." Director Lin called him, indicating that he should stop talking about this topic.

Song Haijian paused, adjusted his breathing, and restored himself to his original state, then spoke again:

"You just said that you know your limits when it comes to making friends, but how do you know that your friends know their limits too? What can you do if they make excessive demands?"

"What can I do?" Yu Luying said in confusion: "Just reject him seriously. If he crosses the line and refuses to respect me, I will stop being friends with him."

"So your defense measure is to break up?" Song Haijian said with a smile, "Do you think this method can ensure that your relationship with your friends does not cross the line?"

"You can understand it that way." Yu Luying suppressed the anger in her tone.

"Oh, so," Song Haijian said as if he had suddenly realized something, "if he makes excessive demands, you will break up with him."

"I'll tell him to respect me, but if he keeps pushing me, then, yes."

"Can you?" Song Haijian raised his eyebrows.

"Of course I will."

"But you have already checked into a hotel with him and spent the night," Song Haijian reminded her.

Teacher Lin coughed.

"It was just an accident that day. There was another girl with me at the time, and he didn't do anything inappropriate. If it really came to the last moment, I would definitely not hesitate." Yu Luying said firmly.

"Then the question is, when will it be the final moment?" Song Haijian hit his palm with the back of his hand: "When it's just the two of you lying on the bed?"

"Teacher Song!" said Teacher Lin.

Song Haijian ignored him and continued, "Will it be too late for you to break up by then? You don't look strong."

"I certainly won't let things get to that point," said Yu Luying.

"Okay, let's make some assumptions about how things will develop." Song Haijian began to pace back and forth.

"Today Xiao Yao invites you to go home together later. Do you want to break up?"

Yu Luying gave him a look that looked like he was a fool.

"Okay, then next, there is a dessert shop in the mall on the way home from school that has launched new products. Xiao Yao invites you to eat together. Do you want to break up?"
