With Sheng Renxing being held down by Xing Ye, the others were also slowly put to a stop.
After the scene calmed down, Director Li’s gloomy eyes swept over all of them: “Still going to fight?”
Director Li glanced at Sheng Renxing emphatically, and furtively breathed a sigh of relief when he didn’t see any obvious wounds on him.
‘Provoked into war’ Sheng Renxing was subdued by Xing Ye’s words, and so he kept his head bowed without saying a single word.
The others finally reacted to the turn of events, but none spoke due to the new wave of fear that washed over them.
Old fox Li knew that speaking now would only add fuel to the fire, and pretended to be hard of hearing for a while as well.
“Everyone come to my office!” Director Li snorted heavily, and left with his sleeves shaking.
A few people followed silently, and the others scattered like birds, while some clever students plotted a way to get outside the office to observe the drama.
Xing Ye thought for a while, and walked into the office in a matter of fact manner.
In the office, Director Li slammed his hand on the table loudly: “Speak!”
The timid students were taken aback.
As the silence persisted, Director Li became even angrier: “Why is no one speaking? Weren’t you all pretty arrogant a while ago? Why are you suddenly mute now?”
“Teacher, we were wrong, we shouldn’t have fought at school.” As soon as his voice halted, Jiang Jing decisively admitted the mistake.
Everyone knew how things worked around here at No. 13 High School.
It was impossible to expect these hot-blooded high school students to pass the days harmoniously, and so the teachers had seen so many ‘enthusiastic discussions’ that they could no longer act surprised.
Generally speaking, the school verbally reprimanded the student and asked for an apology essay if it was a light offense. However, if it was a more serious one, they would make a call directed to the student’s guardians. Abominable offenses meant that disciplinary action needed to be taken.
But for the students, they considered both the apology essay and disciplinary action to be light punishments. The biggest punishment was calling their parents.
It was the same for the teachers.
If the injured party had to be brought to the hospital as a result of the fighting, only then would the teachers be forced to make a phone call.
So most of the time, the staff would make a grand fuss about the issue, but then gently drop it.
Moreover, although there were many participants, the situation was not serious; everyone was still energetically bouncing around without any harm to their body.

The director still had a sullen face and glared at them sternly: “Everyone is so capable, it’s absolutely lawless! Engage in fights, pick on new classmates, show zero respect to your elders! Do you still have a teacher in your eyes!” He abruptly slammed the table in an exasperated manner, “Is there still a school!”
This scolding stunned Jiang Jing and the others directly into sorrowful grievance. Director Li didn’t even bother to clarify the situation before immediately branding them as the source of the disaster for instigating the whole fight!
Especially the blond student: He missed the first opportunity to get the upper hand, and was crushed and beaten from the beginning. After the inexplicable fight, he was inexplicably wronged, and his anger was about to break through his heavenly sprirt just about now.
He opened his mouth to refute, but was kicked from behind.
Turning his head, Xing Ye retracted his foot and did not look at him.
Director Li didn’t seem to see the petty action, and pointed at the blond student instead. Scolding him, he said: “How are you making sense of the fight? If you refuse to admit your faults, hurry along home!”
The blond student took a deep breath and threw off Jiang Jing’s hand that was clutching onto him: “I admit it!”
“Apologize to the new classmate!” Director Li remained unmoved.
“I’m sorry.” Jiang Jing first said to Sheng Renxing. The other two people looked at each other and both apologized.
Jiang Jing nudged the blond student, who reluctantly said: “I’m sorry!”
Sheng Renxing looked at them, and then at Director Li. He then swept his gaze over to Xing Ye, who was leaning against the wall and also looking at him.
He twitched his mouth coldly: “No worries.”
The blond student was about to jump up and fight him again, but was firmly suppressed by Jiang Jing.
“Go back, write a five thousand-word apology essay, and give it to me tomorrow! And don’t bother coming to class if you don’t hand it in!” Director Li pointed to the door.
The blond student took the lead to head out, walking like he wanted to hit someone.
Xing Ye looked at Sheng Renxing and walked out as well.
There was still the fat student and Chen Ying remaining—the two who had not spoken at all. Director Li shouted at them: “Still not leaving yet? Looks like you’re not in a rush to get to class?”
The two felt like their happiness seemed to have abruptly dropped down from the heavens: They didn’t even need to write an apology essay, and so immediately ran out.
Now the only one remaining was Sheng Renxing.
“How are you? Do you want to go to the hospital? ” Director Li turned to him with a much better attitude. He also looked at the dirty marks on his clothes with concern.
“No need.” Although Director Li had indirectly helped him out during the scuffle, Sheng Renxing’s expression right now was even worse than how it was before, and the words tumbled out coldly when he heard the question.
“Ah, that’s good.” Director Li nodded, and knitted his brows together. He took a sip of tea from his thermos cup, as if thinking how to organize his words together.
Sheng Renxing looked him in the eyes and abruptly said: “I was the one who made the first move.”
“Huh?” Director Li was stunned for a moment.
“So I won’t tell my dad, and I won’t go looking for trouble with those people.” He finished speaking and turned away.
Sheng Renxing slammed the door—a deafening noise that shook the skies—on the way out.
Behind him, Director Li was stunned.
The teacher who had been quiet next to him sighed: “This Sheng Renxing isn’t someone easy to deal with either.”
Another teacher echoed: “Otherwise, why would he suddenly transfer to our school?”
“Mn, our ancestor transferred here.”
“Fortunately, he’s not in my class.”
Director Li turned his head and scolded: “Don’t talk nonsense.”
He took a sip of his tea and sighed again: “He’s still a child.”
After the blond student ran out, he took the lead, regardless of the others shouting behind him.
It took a long time before Jiang Jing caught up to him: “How the hell are you charging forward like a rocket?”
“Don’t touch laozi!” The blond student knocked Jiang Jing’s hand off. He turned and stood facing him in the hallway, “Laozi is upset! Did I start the damn fight! Why should I apologize like Lao Li said to!”
Jiang Jing knitted his brows and knocked the blonde student’s hand to the side: “Lao Li did that for your own good!”
“Fuck him doing it for my own good!”
One of his buddies standing next to him was deep in thought: “I heard that the transfer student comes from a wealthy background? That building seems to have been donated by his family.” He pointed to a building on the left that was separated from the school, where construction was occurring underway.
Wan Guanxi hadn’t suffered this kind of anger for a long time, and he pointed to the building over there: “Just the fuck based on that?!”
Jiang Jing looked at him for a long while: “Just based on that.”
Sheng Renxing, who was “favored”, didn’t look like the winner they imagined. After he came out, his face was almost frozen.
He felt that all the people in this school were absolute shit.
He suddenly turned halfway in the hallway and walked into the nearby small forest.
Sheng Renxing just stood there for a long while, and then kicked the tree next to him aggressively.
The leaves fluttered down.
But his anger was not relieved, and he gave the tree a fierce blow again. The rough bark cut his knuckles, but Sheng Renxing didn’t seem to feel any pain.
After a while, he finally stopped: “Come out!”
Xing Ye walked out from the midst of the woods, his eyes falling from Sheng Renxing’s face to his hands.
Sheng Renxing looked at him: “What are you doing?” His tone was very bad.
He sneered again, “Here to get retribution for your brother? Come to hit me?”
Sheng Renxing’s chest was so tight. When he arrived at this new place, he kept suppressing his emotions and believed that he could quickly adapt to it, but he could not.
Every time his classmates looked at each other, the teacher’s unfamiliar mannerisms, the blank table, the conversation topics that he couldn’t join…
Bit by bit, like cotton wool dipped in gunpowder, it was all stuffed into his chest, just waiting for the spark to set it all ablaze.
Director Li’s attitude now was like the introduction.
When Sheng Renxing made the first move, he was ready to accept the consequences. In the end, however, he was lifted aloft from the fuss, and then gently put down.
But he wasn’t happy.
He could understand the director’s way of doing things, that he didn’t want Sheng Renxing to take it personally, in fear of further retaliation.
But he never thought about it that way.
Those people think that showing partiality meant giving consideration to Sheng Renxing, but it was in fact a silent rejection.
When he stood in the office and looked at them, it felt like he was a country on its own, isolated from the masses.
Sheng Renxing stared at Xing Ye. As he stared, his eyes inevitably got red, and he couldn’t help but think, Xuancheng didn’t welcome me at all.
