Chapter 101: In Heaven and Earth, No One Can Save You

  Time: The last long self-study session in the evening.

  Location: Inside Lin Nan's office.

  Characters: Male protagonist Li Xiaobai. Female protagonists Lin Nan and Xia Xinger.

  Identity: A student, two class teachers.

  ……

  If Xia Xiang'er wasn't present, this would be a very ordinary scene for Li Xiaobai, so ordinary that he had become somewhat numb to it. As a high school boarding student, because he was always at school and couldn't see his parents, in some sense, his class teacher was closer to him than his own mother. Now that teachers can no longer hit or scold students, after the initial fear went away, Li Xiaobai, who often came and went from Lin Nan's office, gradually had a rather leisurely attitude, like watching flowers bloom and fall in front of the courtyard.

  This time, hearing Lin Nan's questioning, made Li Xiaobai surprisingly speechless.

  Xia Xiner suddenly used her racket to slap Ge Dazhuang's face, which was really shocking and inexplicable to Li Xiaobai. Or rather, compared to the time she suddenly pushed Guo Jing, this time's shock was far beyond that. After all, last time, no matter how you looked at it, Guo Jing's behavior had provoked her, but this time, Ge Dazhuang hadn't offended her at all.

  "Li Xiaobai, I'm asking you, why didn't you stop her at that time?"

  When Li Xiaobai saw himself speaking, he was distracted and Lin Nan couldn't help but raise his voice in anger.

  I wasn't there at the time, how could I stop her?

  If it were in the past, Li Xiaobai would have quickly cleared himself of suspicion, but this time, he didn't even want to explain.

  "He was scared away by Ge Dazhuang at that time," Xia Xiner said with a mocking tone, "How dare you stop me now, coward."

  Who was scared away, that is angry.

  Li Xiaobai didn't say anything, Lin Nan was completely furious.

  "Xia Xiner, someone has reported this to me and also to the school administration. You hit your classmate, don't you have any sense of self-awareness?"

  "That's what he deserved," Xia Xiner said without a hint of remorse, "I wanted to go to which group, and was being pointed at by him, I hate it when people point fingers at me."

  "Is that so," Lin Nan said with a cold laugh, "so this is your reason for hitting me? Do you think that as long as you study well, I won't be able to do anything about it, and the school won't be able to do anything about it?"

  "It's just a warning, at most it'll be recorded as a minor offense, in the end they'll have to withdraw it anyway, what's the big deal?"

  "Say it again."

  Xia Xiner didn't say a word, but she also didn't lower her head like Li Xiaobai.

  Cold, so cold.

  Li Xiaobai's calm demeanor was gone, and in the warm office, he only felt a chill that was no less than what he had experienced on campus. The key point was that under this chill, Xia Xiang'er didn't show any signs of submission, which made things even colder.

  Be more afraid of the teacher, make the teacher lose face, and the teacher will let you go on stage every day.

  "Alright, since you think so, then this time I won't care." Lin Nan suddenly became somewhat disinterested, "Xia Xiner, you can leave now."

  Xia Xinger exchanged a glance with Lin Nan, and her expression also didn't look good, so she decided to leave.

  Don't go, Li Xiaobai quickly blocked him.

  Although Xia Xiner said that just now, it was because Ge Dazhuang had to take care of her switching groups, and Xia Xiner only took action. However, all the signs indicate that this time she really did vent her anger on her own behalf. If the consequences are left for a girl to bear alone, Li Xiaobai asked himself if he could do it.

  "Excuse me, teacher, I think Xia Xiner didn't do anything wrong."

  "What?" Lin Nan raised her tone again, "I didn't seem to hear what you just said, can you say it again?"

  Let me say it again, try and see, the threat in your eyes is so obvious, I'm not stupid.

  "There's nothing, I'm saying Xia Xiner classmate is absolutely wrong."

  "Li Xiaobai," Xiahui'er shouted loudly in front of Lin Nan, "have the guts to say that again."

  Too excessive, even more so than Lin Nan.

  Saying, Lin Nan was right here, didn't you really see him, class teacher?

  Even if your grades are excellent, you still can't afford to offend the teacher. As the saying goes, "No one in heaven or on earth can save you."

  As expected, Lin Nan looked at Xia Xiang'er with a not-so-pleased expression. "I told you to leave, why are you still here? You can go back to the classroom first. As for how your matter will be resolved, after tomorrow's meeting at the political education department, whether it's staying in school for observation or going home for reflection, I'll let you know."

  "I'm afraid of the dark myself, waiting for Li Xiaobai to go back together won't do."

  After finishing this sentence, Xia Xiang'er directly sat down on the only chair in the office under Li Xiaobai's stunned gaze.

  Xia Xiner is afraid of the dark, but that's not the point. What's surprising is that she dares to be so reckless under the teacher's nose. Doesn't she worry that Lin Nan might get angry and really call her parents?

  Is it not a shameful thing for a girl to invite her parents, except when they are meeting with the teacher? Does she have any self-awareness at all?

  Of course, it's not a glorious thing for boys to invite their parents either.

  However, Lin Nan just sighed and seemed helpless, completely ignoring Xia Xiang'er.

  Like this was abandoned, Li Xiaobai had a slight sense of guilt emerging.

  "Never mind her," Lin Nan said deliberately, "Tell me, what were you going to say just now?"

  Sitting in the teacher's chair with her back straight, Lin Nan smoothed out her long hair and said.

  "Oh..." Li Xiaobai digested the scene from earlier and said, "What I mean is that Xia Xiang'er was wrong, but just like how I directly called her out for not being in the wrong earlier, it's more of a sense of righteous indignation."

  "Hmm, righteous indignation, your words are well-chosen." Lin Nan said calmly.

  This shouldn't be the time for boasting, and Li Xiaobai's forehead started sweating as he reacted instantly.

  So saying Xia Xiner has no problem, but isn't it herself being indignant and resentful, which means Lin Nan's education is not correct?

  When trying to please others, they actually infuriate them. Indeed, fawning and flattering have always been alien to oneself?

  "I didn't mean it that way," Li Xiaobai hastily added, "I was just saying that at the time, anyone would have been fed up with the situation. But I always remember your teachings, and although Ge Dazhuang is an unreasonable classmate, I still didn't hold a grudge against him. However, compared to many bystanders, Xia Xiner's sense of justice is stronger, so she took action to teach Ge Dazhuang a lesson. So, not only should Xia Xiner not be punished, but she should also be commended..."

  Under Lin Nan's piercing gaze, Li Xiaobai couldn't say anything more.

  "Now that you've remembered my teachings, why hasn't she remembered mine?" Lin Nan said slowly, "Li Xiaobai, can you tell me why?"

  Ah... no matter what I say, it's all wrong, and she's going to kill me anyway.

  "Teacher, I think it's just a slap on Ge Dazhuang, no need to warn him, right?" Li Xiaobai said weakly. "Ge Dazhuang is still a boy, if it were me, this kind of thing would never be exposed. He's already so old, doesn't he feel embarrassed?"

  "Li Xiaobai, do you know what you're talking about?" With a swish, Lin Nan's face turned serious.

  Her heart skipped a beat, and the teacher was hoping someone would inform on her, precisely so that she could keep abreast of what was going on in the class.

  What was I just saying?

  If it weren't for the teacher teaching them to take care of themselves, Li Xiaobai almost gave himself a little slap in the face.

  "It seems that you still don't take my teachings seriously," Lin Nan said, tapping her hand on the desk. "Not bad, one conflict has made me discover many problems, it seems I've been too lenient with all of you."

  No, absolutely not, Xia Xiang'er didn't mind, but Li Xiao Bai hastily shook his head.

  If it gets any tighter, there won't even be room for a gasp of air, and that could be fatal.

  "I just think Ge Dazhuang is making a big deal out of a small matter. We're all from the same club, and to take this little thing to the school administration, it doesn't match with his self-proclaimed loving club."

  "Is that so?" Lin Nan nodded, "Your meaning is that hitting people is right, isn't it?"

  Absolutely right, if there weren't so many people there. Unfortunately, there were too many people, and some even testified against him.

  However, when these words were spoken, Lin Nan suddenly felt disheartened and thought that being a teacher was really a failure, unable to educate his own students. He had the idea of quitting and felt ashamed, so he decided not to say anything.

  "Hitting someone is wrong, but since Xiang'er was acting out of righteous indignation, it's also understandable, right?" Li Xiaobai said cautiously. "Teacher, didn't you let her off with a warning or make her reflect on her actions at home back then? Weren't you being too lenient on her?"

  "Bastard," Xia Xiang'er couldn't take it anymore. "Li Xiaobai, are you still spouting nonsense?"

  This is just a temporary solution, have you ever studied history at all?

  It's not even possible to slightly tarnish Xia Xiang'er's image, and Li Xiaobai can't say anything anymore.

  "Alright, I've got the situation under control." Just as a phone call came in, Lin Nann didn't have the patience to listen to Li Xiaobai's explanation. "In short, you two should head back first. As for how this matter will be resolved, there will be results tomorrow. Also, Li Xiaobai, although nothing happened to you, but from now on, you need to take care of the people around you too. Don't forget, you're a team leader."

  I have a strong sense of being a team leader, but unfortunately, the other two don't have this awareness.

  As soon as he mentioned the group leader, Li Xiaobai happened to mention Guo Jing's entrusted matter.

  Lin Nan, who answered the phone, waved his hand and didn't know if he had heard or not, then waved his hand to let the two leave.

  "Bastard, if you dare to speak nonsense again, you're dead for sure."

  As soon as she walked out of the office, Xia Xiang'er rudely elbowed Li Xiaobai in the waist.

  Li Xiaobai's clothes weren't damaged much, it didn't hurt at all, but instead felt a bit itchy.

  "You don't have to worry at all," he said magnanimously, not wanting to argue with the other person, "whether you stay in school for observation or go home for reflection?"
