Chapter 444: Making Life Difficult

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

By the time Rong Qi returned to the university, the class had already been in session for nearly fifteen minutes. With one hand tucked into her pocket, she sauntered toward Class 7. Before she could reach the door, she heard the amplified sound of a voice coming from inside.

‘Huh… Why is it Mr. Tang’s class?’ Rong Qi furrowed her brows slightly, stood at the doorway, and said with a hint of flair, “May I come in?”

Instantly, the voice lecturing inside the classroom halted. Tang Lin was livid. He threw his book onto the lectern with an exasperated slam. “What time do you call this? Maybe you shouldn’t have bothered coming at all! Stand outside!”

Tang Lin had always held a grudge against the students of Class 7 and saw this as an opportune moment to vent his frustrations. He knew that Rong Qi was the linchpin of Class 7, and punishing her would be akin to slapping the entire class in the face. It was a situation that would not only delight him but also bring satisfaction to his favored students from Class 1, who had previously suffered at the hands of Rong Qi.

Han Ning frowned, ready to stand up and defend Rong Qi, but then he noticed that she had already turned around and walked away—just like that. It was a flagrant act of defiance against a teacher. He was amazed by Rong Qi’s action.

Tang Lin hadn’t expected to be publicly humiliated like this. He worried that his reputation as a teacher of an advanced class would be ruined. He followed her to the door, bellowing, “Rong Qi, if you dare to leave, I’ll ensure you fail this course! I’ll report your behavior to the president for being disrespectful and unruly, and have you expelled!”

Tang Lin thought that his threat would intimidate Rong Qi. However, she didn’t even bother to look back. He was livid, his face turning a hot red as he stormed back to his lectern, shouting, “Minus twenty points! Rong Qi failed the course!”

It was apparent that Tang Lin was fuming. The entire class was dead silent.

The students of Class 7 wanted to speak up for Rong Qi but hesitated, wondering if Tang Lin might use this as a chance to retaliate against a previous incident where the class had lost points.

Better to bide their time; there would be another opportunity. Yet, someone immediately texted Ms. Seven to give her a heads-up. No one knew why, but everyone seemed to think that Ms. Seven had the inexplicable ability to turn things around, even when the odds were against her.

However, just as the atmosphere became so tense that one could hear a pin drop, a pair of hands in the front row suddenly shot up.

“Mr. Tang, I gave you the leave note signed by the president for Rong Qi before class started. You read it and approved.”

The person who spoke was He Jinghan. His voice was soft, almost delicate, but under these circumstances, it was hard to suppress a smile, especially after seeing Tang Lin’s face transition from furious to awkward. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝘸𝑒𝑏𝓃𝑜𝑣𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝑜𝓂f(r)eeweb(n)ovel

Tang Lin suddenly remembered that, indeed, He Jinghan had come to his office before the class to inform him about someone taking leave. He had been busy preparing a PowerPoint presentation for Qiu Yonggen at the time and hadn’t paid full attention. He had accepted the note and sent He Jinghan away.

Now, feeling the cold air around him, he flipped to the first page of his textbook and found the tucked-away leave note. It had indeed been approved by the president himself.

‘What was so special about this Rong Qi?’ Tang Lin wondered.

“She only asked for the morning off, right? Why didn’t you come to me for the leave note? And why would she get the entire morning off just for being a bit late?” Tang Lin asked. He stared at the words on the leave note, barely containing his irritation.

He Jinghan’s voice didn’t waver. It remained as calm as ever as if he had merely assisted a classmate he barely knew. He said, “When I went to find you, you weren’t there, so I went upstairs to see the president. Coincidentally, he said that the Academic and Research Society wanted both Rong Qi and me to attend a research meeting, so he wrote a leave note for the entire morning..”
