Zhang Jingyu’s face turned deathly pale after reacting and she resisted the urge to look in the mirror. She felt endlessly embarrassed, “You! What are you saying, you——”

She was so angry that she directly raised her hand without thinking, wanting to slap him. But Xie Xinglin quickly responded and grabbed her wrist.

He didn’t use much force, but still managed to make Zhang Jingyu gasp in pain.

The tail of his eyes rose slightly and he lightly said, “Teacher, didn’t you just say....”

As soon as his voice fell, a mocking expression appeared in his eyes and he threw her away. He said in a deep voice, “No matter what others say, you can’t just beat people. This is a fundamental lesson in raising children. Your students are all watching.”

Pei An’an followed behind Xie Xinglin step by step as they walked out of the school.

After a while, she cautiously asked, “Big Brother, will I be expelled from school?”

When Su Qiuge, who was beside her, heard her, she turned to look at Xie Xinglin’s expression.

When Pei An’an noticed that Xie Xinglin hadn’t responded, she took the opportunity and slowly added, “Big Brother, I know I’m wrong, don’t be angry.”

At this moment, Xie Xinglin turned towards her, his expression unfathomable as he said, “Where were you wrong?”

Pei An’an lowered her head and unhappily mumbled, “I shouldn’t have fought with others.”

Xie Xinglin lightly scoffed, “What, you don’t even know where you were wrong?”

Pei An’an raised her face and looked at him with some doubt. Then she heard him mildly say, “You are wrong in that you are clearly the victim, yet you let them be justified in accusing you. You are wrong in that even after fighting and losing, you still let yourself be angry in vain. You are wrong in that the teacher is so foolish in private, yet you still didn’t tell me earlier....”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and with lowered eyes, he stretched out his long and slender finger to flick Pei An’an’s forehead. He raised his eyebrows, “Understand?”

Pei An’an faintly took a step back, but her mood was obviously more cheerful, “Then Big Brother, next time I won’t be bullied by them, I will work hard.”

After she spoke, she even raised a fist.

Xie Xinglin lowered his eyes, then indifferently said, “There is no next time.”

“This kind of school that can’t even properly teach their children isn’t worth the tuition.”

Pei An’an thought deeply for a moment, “Oh....Then how do I tell Mother, if I were to change schools....”

Xie Xinglin raised the tips of his eyebrows, “You don’t need to think of so much, I’ll explain it.”

Pei An’an’s expression revealed a sense of loss, she blinked her eyes and pursed her lips, “Big Brother, I’m sorry. I wanted to solve it by myself, and I also didn’t want Mother to worry, but I didn’t expect to cause you trouble.”

Xie Xinglin looked down at her for a moment, then the corners of his lips moved slightly and he took out a strawberry milk flavored lollipop from his pocket. He tapped Pei An’an’s forehead with the circular candy and casually said, “Your last name’s already “Troublesome,” yet you are still afraid of causing trouble?”

Pei An’an blinked, then quickly took the lollipop and the unhappiness seemed to have dispersed. Full of satisfaction, she unwrapped the candy and put it in her mouth. She opened her eyes wide and looked at him, “Is this a gift for the little friend, Pei An’an?”historical

Xie Xinglin softly agreed, then faintly raised his eyebrows as his gaze swept over Su Qiuge, “But, what you meant by “solving it yourself,” was to look for her?”

Su Qiuge, who had been ignored the whole time, was suddenly pulled into the conversation. She sensed that Xie Xinglin’s words were full of unknown meaning and became unhappy, so she immediately argued, “What, she was afraid of you scolding her, so she came to me to help solve the issue. Is there a problem with that?”

Xie Xinglin turned his gaze to look at her, remembering her appearance when she loudly and fiercely yelled at the class of elementary school kids, and couldn’t helped but curl his lips, “Then, your way of solving the issue was to tell a group of elementary school students that you’ve graduated from the sixth grade?”

Su Qiuge：“....”

F*ck.

He heard that??
