Sun Hao was still unconvinced, enduring the pain; he couldn't lose face in front of his goddess.
Clutching his wrist, large beads of sweat dripped down, but he still took a step forward.
He intended to stand up for Teacher Liu.
"Student, you hit a teacher. I'm calling the police right now. Apologize to Teacher Liu immediately!"
"Otherwise, you'll regret it too late."
But Lu Xuan just smiled faintly, a posture that made Sun Hao feel even more humiliated.
However, he saw Teacher Liu staring at Lu Xuan's phone, speechless.
Then, Teacher Liu straightened her back, her face pale as she looked at Sun Hao.
Her most disheveled appearance had been caught by Sun Hao, which already made her want to die, but she was even more afraid that this idiot, Sun Hao, would add fuel to the fire!
"Hanyan, don't be afraid!" Seeing Teacher Liu's pale face, Sun Hao became even more convinced of his hero-saving-the-beauty script. He pointed at Lu Xuan, looking righteous, "I'll call campus security right now! And I'll call your dad… I'll call Vice Principal Liu! Let's see how he walks out of this school gate today!"
He deliberately emphasized the words "Vice Principal Liu," both to remind Lu Xuan of the other party's background and to show off to Teacher Liu.
However, when Teacher Liu heard this, she was so scared her soul almost flew away.
Call her father? Wouldn't that completely blow things up, tear off her last shred of dignity, and throw it on the ground for everyone to trample on?
She suddenly looked up at Lu Xuan, only to see that he not only showed no panic but was looking at her with interest, his eyes seeming to say: "Look, is this your rescuer?"
"Sun Hao!" Teacher Liu's voice became shrill and distorted. She practically scrambled to her feet from the ground, not bothering to tidy her disheveled clothes and hair, and grabbed Sun Hao's arm, desperately pushing him out, "Get out! Now, immediately, right now!"
"Huh? Hanyan? I…" Sun Hao was completely bewildered. The script wasn't supposed to go like this, was it? Shouldn't she be moved to tears and fall into his arms?
"This is my private matter! It's none of your business! Hurry up and leave!" Teacher Liu was so anxious that tears welled up. She just wanted to get this guy, who was useless and only caused trouble, out of here. Every second he stayed, she felt like the knife hanging over her head was about to fall.
"Private matter? He's beaten you like this, what private matter is there?" Sun Hao grumbled unwillingly, thinking Teacher Liu must have been scared senseless.
"If you don't leave now, we won't even be friends anymore!" Teacher Liu used her last resort, using almost all her strength to push Sun Hao out of the office door.
Sun Hao stumbled, looking at Teacher Liu in disbelief.
"Bang!"
The office door was slammed shut in front of him, followed by the sound of it being locked.
Sun Hao stood outside the door, his face alternating between green and white, feeling as if his sincere feelings had been trampled underfoot in public, utterly humiliated.
But then he thought, Hanyan must be afraid that Student would hurt him again; she was protecting him! Yes, it must be like that!
The more he thought about it, the more he believed this was the reason, and the anger in his heart was replaced by an inexplicable sense of being touched.
He quietly crept to the door, pressing his ear against the cold door panel, wanting to hear what was happening inside. If that kid dared to make a move again, he would immediately break in!
Inside the office, there was a deathly silence.
Teacher Liu leaned against the door, her chest rising and falling violently, like a fish out of water.
She looked at the man sitting leisurely in the chair, as if everything was under his control, and her last bit of hope completely crumbled.
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, trying to reclaim a shred of her dignity as a counselor.
"Lu Xuan… The photos on your phone, although I don't know who that is, you shouldn't show that kind of thing to people casually."
Her voice was dry and hoarse, with a tremor she hadn't even noticed herself, "Spreading such pictures is very bad. I can pretend nothing happened now. You delete the photos, then apologize to me, and about skipping class… I'll let it go."
She thought this was the greatest concession she could make, a kind of condescending forgiveness.
Lu Xuan heard this and chuckled softly, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
【System Scouting Tips: Someone is eavesdropping outside the door】
He slowly stood up, not looking at her, but took steps directly towards the office door.
Teacher Liu's heart leaped into her throat. What was he going to do? Was he going to leave?
Just as she was lost in thought, Lu Xuan's hand had already gripped the doorknob.
The next second, he yanked it open!
"Ah!"
Outside the door, Sun Hao, who was pressing his ear against the door, listening with great interest, had no idea the door would suddenly open. He lost his balance, screamed, and stumbled in, falling flat on his face at Teacher Liu's feet in a dog-eating-mud posture.
The scene was extremely awkward for a moment.
Sun Hao's face instantly turned liver-red. He scrambled to get up, stammering, "I… I was just passing by, yes, passing by!"
Lu Xuan closed the door behind him and locked it.
"Teacher, eavesdropping is not a good habit."
Before he finished speaking, he raised his foot and seemingly casually kicked Sun Hao's supporting knee.
"Crack!"
"Ow--!"
Sun Hao let out a sharp wail, completely losing control as he knelt, his knees hitting the floor with a dull thud.
The intense pain made tears and snot flow instantly.
"You… you dare hit me! My dad is…"
"Slap!"
Before he could finish, a crisp, loud slap landed precisely on his face, directly cutting off the rest of his sentence.
Lu Xuan slowly squatted down, meeting the gaze of Sun Hao, who was kneeling on the ground. His face wore a warm smile, but his tone was as cold as if it came from hell.
"Who your dad is, does it concern me?"
"I hate it when people buzz around like a fly when I'm doing something."
He reached out and gently patted Sun Hao's red and swollen face.
"Now, can you be quiet?"
"You… you!! You wait! I'm calling the police!"
Saying this, Sun Hao took out his phone.
