At this moment, she completely understood that this lackey who was attached to the Tang family was not a good person. Relying on his teacher status, he did not have any direct conflict with Shan Yue. He was unintentionally isolating her.
After understanding this, Shan Yue became a silent ordinary student in class. When facing someone who deliberately targeted her, as long as she was not affected, the person who was anxious would definitely be the other party.
Their long-standing relationship was finally broken one afternoon.
The class that was preparing to end school was filled with laughter, but Gao Yang walked in with a stack of papers with an angry expression. The students who had never seen Gao Yang angry before also consciously quietened down.
Gao Yang stood on the podium and did not speak. He only looked straight at everyone below the stage, as if he was declaring his sovereignty.
Yu Xin leaned close to Shan Yue’s ear. “What’s wrong with Teacher Gao today? We’ve been in school for almost half a month, but I haven’t seen him angry. I wonder who provoked him. He’ll probably be scolded.”
Shan Yue’s red lips curled up casually, and her words were filled with indifference. “We didn’t do anything wrong. What are you afraid of? It’s not us who’s going to argue. There’s no need to take it to heart.”
At this moment, Gao Yang, who was on the stage, slowly calmed down. His low voice echoed throughout the class. “Everyone has just entered university and is already an adult. I don’t want to scold everyone. However, it’s only been a few days, and someone already dares not to hand in their homework. Will they become more and more impudent in the future? Will they even dare not come to class?”
At this point, the two students below the stage subconsciously lowered their heads. They did not dare to look into the teacher’s eyes as if they were guilty, afraid that their timidity would be seen through.
“Which two students didn’t hand in their homework?” Gao Yang looked down at everything below the stage. “If you didn’t hand in your homework, hand it in now. On account that it’s your first mistake, I can be lenient and let you remember not to argue with you. If you don’t admit it now, it won’t be so easy to bluff your way through if I find out who it is later.”
Shan Yue slowly turned to Yu Xin. “See, I told you it had nothing to do with us. Now, let’s wait for those two to admit it themselves. We’ll eat together later.”
Yu Xin nodded. “No problem. I’ve been hungry for a long time.”
Even so, the classroom fell silent. It was so quiet that it sent a chill down his spine. Perhaps because they were timid or afraid, the two girls who did not hand in their homework did not stand up to admit it. They instantly ignited Gao Yang’s anger again.
“No one admits it, right? Now that you don’t even have the most basic integrity as students, how can you go to school?” Gao Yang’s tone had already changed from calm to stern. “If no one admits that I can leave, the two students who don’t hand in their homework will bear the consequences.”
Just as Gao Yang was about to leave, under the pressure emitted by Gao Yang, the two students slowly stood up. After they stood up, they did not speak. They only lowered their heads slightly to admit their mistake.
Gao Yang stopped in his tracks and turned to face the two of them. “Why didn’t you stand up earlier? You’re already university students. Although we’re not as strict as in high school, you can’t not even hand in your homework. I don’t want to punish you, but I want to help you change this bad habit. If you hand in your homework now, there’s nothing wrong, right?”
“I… I’m sorry, Teacher.” One of them slowly raised his head and forced out a few words. “But we can’t give it to you yet. We haven’t finished it yet. But we know our mistakes. Punish us if you want.”
Gao Yang did not speak immediately. He only waved his hand and gestured for them to sit down. He turned around and walked back to the podium. “You have to be punished for this, but not just the two of them. You have to remember that you’re a class as a whole. You have to have a collective consciousness. Everyone has to help each other. If one person doesn’t complete the mission, it means that the entire class hasn’t completed it.”
