After Hong Zhixing returned to the classroom, he was surrounded by a feeling of unease all night.
She couldn't concentrate on reading at all and was always worried about how to deal with this matter later.
She had never realized before that the head teacher of Class 3 was such a difficult person to deal with.
Compared to her, her homeroom teacher Yin Xiangyu is simply an incompetent waste!
Hong Zhixing recalled what had just happened in his mind, and all the anger and disgust that turned from fear was transferred to Yin Xiangyu.
She didn't realize that her confused look was seen by her little followers, which made them feel anxious.
Until the evening study was about to end, Hong Zhixing still hadn't waited for Yin Xiangyu or her father to come find her.
She had never felt so uneasy.
Her father is a lawyer, and she herself is a good student with excellent character and academic performance. She has a bright future. She is not only an excellent student in the eyes of teachers, but also very popular among classmates.
Everything has been smooth sailing all the way, and I have never encountered such setbacks as today.
A note was handed over from the side.
Hong Zhixing took the note from her deskmate, opened it and saw that it was a note written to her by Xu Linlin, which said: Are you okay?
Hong Zhixing frowned and crumpled the paper into a ball.
Five minutes later, the first evening self-study get out of class ended.
Hong Zhixing's phone suddenly vibrated.
She turned on her phone and found a message from her father: I'm waiting for you at the school gate.
Hong Zhixing's heart tightened in an instant.
She put down her phone with a grim expression and began to pack her schoolbag mechanically.
Xu Linlin walked over.
"Zhixing, what does Teacher Yin say about this matter?" Seeing Hong Zhixing's ugly face, she also became a little nervous, afraid that something might go wrong.
Hong Zhixing glanced at her and immediately knew what she was thinking.
"It's okay." She said these two words calmly, put on her backpack and left.
Xu Linlin wanted to ask something, but Hong Zhixing didn't seem to intend to say anything more to her, so she could only shut up in disappointment.
Hong Zhixing hurried to the school gate.
His father was standing at the door smoking.
"Dad." Hong Zhixing called timidly.
When Hong Chen saw her, he threw his cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his shoe sole, and said, "Get in the car."
He opened the door of a parked car and got in.
Hong Zhixing also sat up.
The atmosphere in the car made her extremely nervous, and her heart beat faster involuntarily.
She carefully looked at her father's profile and called out cautiously, "Dad."
Hong Chen said expressionlessly, "This matter will not have any impact on you in the future."
Hong Zhixing immediately felt relieved.
"Dad, I was wrong." She apologized immediately.
If she had any, she could tell others with confidence, but she didn't dare to say it to her father.
She has never been able to fool her father since she was a child.
"Every failure is a lesson learned, and we should learn from it," Hong Chen said. "If you're going to deal with someone, you should do it cleanly. Leaving so many traces behind the scenes is obviously giving them leverage, and that's foolish."
Hong Zhixing felt a burning sense of shame on his face.

During the break of evening self-study, Liu Qin came to the classroom.
She called Xu Zijun out first.
"The final outcome of this matter was that both sides conducted self-examination."
As soon as Liu Qin finished speaking, Xu Zijun looked up in surprise and wanted to say something.
Liu Qin waved her hand and said, "I know you've been wronged in this matter. I watched you grow up, and I know your character. I believe you would never do something like bullying your classmates, but we don't have any evidence this time, and you've been talked about by many classmates these days. I've thought about it for a long time and think the best way to deal with it is to let this matter die down as soon as possible and not cause any more trouble. You're a senior in high school now, and nothing is more precious than your time and attention. I hope that no matter what happens in the outside world, you can maintain your concentration, focus on your studies, and get into a good university. This is better than anything else, do you understand?"
Xu Zijun pursed his lips and nodded.
"Thank you, Teacher Liu."
"From now on, avoid Hong Zhixing and the others if you can. Teacher Liu isn't asking you to learn to give in, but rather to avoid letting these troubles distract you from your studies. But if they persist, don't be afraid, just come to me." Liu Qin patted Xu Zijun's shoulder, "I will protect you, just like I did this time."
Xu Zijun's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Thank you, Teacher Liu."
She lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
Liu Qin said, "I won't say much about the rest. I'm not worried about your studies. I'm only worried that these troubles are distracting you. Whether you get a recommendation or a reduced score for independent enrollment isn't that important to you. You can rely on your own strength and work hard to get into Zhenhua and Yuming, okay?"
"Okay." Xu Zijun's mentality was completely soothed by Liu Qin's words. "I understand, Teacher Liu, thank you."
"Go ahead."
Liu Qin watched her return to the classroom and then glanced at the other students in the class.
She did not rush back to the office, but walked up to the podium after the second evening study session.
"Take two minutes to tell me something," Liu Qin said. "Before evening study today, Xu Zijun from our class was bullied by students from the next class. I'm sure you've all heard about it. This incident made me very angry, but also very proud, because all the students in our class have a sense of justice. Li Pengfei saw Xu Zijun being bullied and immediately ran over to stop it. Jiang Haitian saw Li Pengfei being slandered and immediately ran back to the classroom to ask his classmates for help. Linyu, Chen Qin, and Lu Yanhe rushed over to protect their classmates after learning about this. I'm very proud that my class has so many students with a sense of justice who dare to stand up to protect their classmates."
All the students in the class applauded.
Lu Yanhe didn't expect Liu Qin to do this.
There was thunderous applause.
Lu Yanhe scratched his head awkwardly.
Li Pengfei straightened his chest, patted his chest, and looked proud.
"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. Everyone, study hard. The college entrance exam is only a few days away. If you don't make progress, you'll regress. Make good use of this time and strive to improve a few more places. Maybe you can move from a second-tier university to a first-tier university, from a first-tier university to a 211 university, and from a 211 university to a 985 university!"
A group of students simply didn't believe what Liu Qin said.
Lu Yanhe, however, had a strange mindset—he'd been a student just finishing the college entrance exam before crossing over, yet now he had the mindset of someone who'd experienced it all. He knew Liu Qin was right, and he knew that if he truly studied hard and gave it his all in the remaining time, miracles could happen. He'd seen examples of this around him.
I don’t know how many people can really listen to it and seize this last moment to give it a try.
