Chapter 23

The students in the front row turned their heads along with Yu Na's pace.

Yu Na walked to the last row and stood in front of Wang Xiao's desk, reaching out and tapping on his desk.

"......"

Wang Xiao was engrossed in reading his comic book when he suddenly heard the tapping sound on the desk. He mechanically looked up and met Yu Na's emotionless gaze.

"Ms...Ms. Yu..."

Yu Na still had no expression. She just extended her hand in front of him.

Of course Wang Xiao was unwilling to hand it over. When he tried to throw the comic book into the drawer, Yu Na was faster, directly snatching the comic away.

She threw out a sentence colder than winter, "I'll keep this book for you."

"Ms. Yu, I—"

Yu Na didn't give him a chance to negotiate. She turned and left.

Because if she didn't deal with this matter, the head teacher would deal with her.

Just then, the end of class bell rang. Class 4 also had P.E. next. She went to the podium, picked up the textbook, "Go downstairs and play."

After saying that, she took the textbook and confiscated comic and left the classroom.

Wang Xiao chased out immediately after her.

"Ms. Yu!"

Yu Na turned back, "What?"

"Can you give me back the comic book? I won't read during class anymore."

"No."

"Ms. Yu, I borrowed that comic book. If you confiscate it, how do I explain it to others?"

The students weren't too afraid of Yu Na.

So when talking with her, they spoke a bit like with their peers.

Wang Xiao included.

But he never expected that this time, Yu Na would be exceptionally hard to talk to.

She directly walked past him, leaving behind her back and a sentence: "One more word and I'll give the book to your head teacher."

Wang Xiao: "......"

He punched the wall and cursed, "F**k! No humanity at all! Does she deserve the title of school belle?"

Wang Xiao's head teacher was Sun Yan. Although a bit gossipy, she was merciless with students.

If Yu Na gave the book to Sun Yan, there would definitely be a self-examination or parents called. So in their class, except for the fearless Wang Xiao, the others didn't bring any extra books or electronics.

The next class, Classes 3 & 4 had P.E., but the P.E. teacher wasn't here the past two days. It was said she had a competition to attend.

So P.E. class was led by the athletic representatives of the two classes.

There were still 15 minutes before P.E. ended when hurried footsteps sounded from the hallway.

The footsteps stopped at the office door.

Then, a girl with a high ponytail, one hand braced against the wall and the other clutching her chest, gasped, "Teacher, something happened!"

Upon hearing that, Sun Yan slowly asked, "What happened? Don't panic."

"Wang... Wang Xiao and Qiao Rui... they..."

When Yu Na heard Qiao Rui's name, she raised her eyes, "What happened to them?"

The girl had run too quickly and anxiously so she stumbled over her words, "They... they..."

"......" Sun Yan said, "So what exactly happened?"

The girl caught her breath for two seconds then hurriedly said, "They're fighting! There's blood, go take a look quickly!"

Yu Na's heart jolted. She put down her work, quickly got up and asked, "Where are they?"

"At the basketball court!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Na hurried towards the basketball court.

There were people in the elevator so she ran up the stairs instead.

Sun Yan and the girl followed closely behind.

Before Yu Na reached the basketball court, she could already hear the commotion coming from that direction.

"Stop fighting! Chen Rui went to get the teacher!"

"Stop it!"

"Qiao Rui, do you want your parents called here?"

Just then, a boy looked back and saw Yu Na rushing over here.

He quickly shouted at the two fiercely fighting, "Qiao Rui! Your head teacher is here!"

Yu Na didn't seem to hold much sway over them.

So even though the boy said that, they didn't stop.

Yu Na ran onto the basketball court. "Stop fighting! Stop!"

The crowd was chaotic.

But soon, another not very loud voice rang out — "Oh f**k! Ms. Sun is here!"

In a flash, the noisy basketball court fell silent.

All that remained was the rustling sound of leaves.

Right after, Sun Yan's imposing voice and footsteps approached. "What are you doing here?!"

Everyone watching scattered while the two involved in the fight stayed put. Blood stained the corner of Qiao Rui's mouth while bruises marked Wang Xiao's face.

Seeing his head teacher arrive, he immediately stood up from the ground and calmly said, "Ms. Sun."

With a displeased expression, Ms. Sun said, "What's going on here?"

Qiao Rui's face darkened. He didn't answer but braced a hand on the floor, trying to get up. But as he tried to stand, he painfully sucked in a breath.

Yu Na quickly helped him up. "What's wrong with your foot?"

Wearing the school uniform trousers, Qiao Rui didn't roll up his pants. His expression was calm. "It's fine."

After he stood up, not intimidated at all by Sun Yan's questioning, he freely admitted what happened while fighting. "Ms. Sun, Wang Xiao was cursing my head teacher, with vulgar and nasty words. I roughed him up a bit. That's not a problem, right?"

Yu Na: ??

Sun Yan was also confused. She asked Wang Xiao, "You cursed Ms. Yu?"

With his head lowered, Wang Xiao didn't say anything, clearly acquiescing.

In a flurry, Sun Yan smacked his arm. "What exactly happened here?"

Wang Xiao still didn't speak.

Qiao Rui scoffed. "Say it, dare to curse but not admit it?"

Sun Yan said, "Not talking, huh? Do I have to call your parents here?"

Yu Na had just confiscated Wang Xiao's book last period so she roughly guessed the reason.

But she was too lazy to beat around the bush here. She pulled Qiao Rui's arm, smoothed things over, "Ms. Sun, I'll take the student to the infirmary first."

"Okay okay, hurry and take him. I'll handle things over here."

...Qiao Rui had just sprained his ankle.

Since it was Friday with only two periods in the afternoon, after getting treated at the infirmary, Yu Na said, "Don't attend class this afternoon. Go to the hospital to get it looked at and x-rayed then rest at home."

At this moment, Qiao Rui no longer had his earlier pugnacious aura. His eyes shone brightly. "Really?"

Yu Na: "......"

She smiled stiffly. "Homework still needs to be done."

Upon hearing that, Qiao Rui's raised mouth corners drooped again. "Teacher, my arm was also dislocated."

Yu Na ignored that sentence. "Can you walk?"

"I can perform a one-legged hop for you."

"Then you—" Yu Na thought about it and tentatively asked, "Want me to call your brother to pick you up? Or should I drive you home?"

"Let my brother come."

His tone sounded deliberately so.

But she couldn't find fault either. For things like this, she was supposed to contact the guardian.

Yu Na found Xiao Chen's WeChat and sent him: 【Qiao Rui is injured. Come to the school.】

Xiao Chen replied very quickly — 1:【?】1:【What happened to him?】

Since Yu Na hadn't had a chance to ask about earlier, she could only reply: 【Come over first then I'll explain. Do you have time?】 She thought about it then added another sentence: 【If you're busy I can call a taxi to take him to the hospital.】

:【I'm near the school. I'll be there very soon】
