Chapter 2211: Skipping Class So Openly?

“How is it considered threatening a classmate?” Quan Jingyi asked with raised brows . “I’m simply speaking normally with my classmate . And you’re calling it a threat? How is it that the bar for the definition of threat has been lowered so low?”

“Enough,” Quan Jingcheng said, taking control of the situation . “I believe that Li Jianyue here wasn’t the only one who had witnessed what had happened . Headmaster Xie, what do you think is the proper way to handle this?”

Headmaster Xie could do no more than lament .

At the outset, they were all convinced that Quan Jingyi was a delinquent . The initial scenario that the headmaster witnessed only reinforced his view . He naturally concluded that Quan Jingyi was wholly to blame .

Li Jianyue’s unexpected entry had made the entire situation somewhat awkward .

So, it wasn’t Quan Jingyi’s fault?

He didn’t deserve to be slapped by Major Quan? Had he been wrongly accused?

Yang Zihao’s mother seemed partially convinced . “That does, indeed, make sense . But, since it wasn’t Quan Jingyi who did it, why didn’t he explain himself?”

“These sorts of things have always happened since I was a kid . If I had had to explain myself every single time, I would have died of exhaustion!” Quan Jingyi sneered . “I hadn’t had much credibility with you in the first place . Even if I had explained myself, would you have believed me?”

It left all the parents speechless .

Indeed, would they have believed him?

It was highly likely that everyone would have been quick to assume Quan Jingyi was lying to cover his mischief .

Given this, Quan Jingyi remained silent and didn’t bother to explain himself .

Quan Jingcheng felt slightly unsettled by his son’s words . “So, you chose not to explain anything at all?”

“It’s meaningless to engage in a useless battle,” Quan Jingyi said unperturbed . “Regardless of the situation, you’ve already hit me . I should be allowed to leave now, shouldn’t I?” he pressed on .

Headmaster Xie decided it was better to settle the matter behind closed doors . Were Quan Jingyi to leave then and there, the truth may never emerge .

Quan Jingyi didn’t wait for the headmaster to speak . He turned around to leave .

The headmaster quickly called out . “Hold on a second . We haven’t gotten to the bottom of this . ”

Quan Jingyi obliged . He turned around to face the headmaster before setting his sights on Li Jianyue . He reached out, grabbed her hand, and strode to the door without saying a word .

Li Jianyue was taken aback by the sudden move . Instinctively she turned around and looked at all the adults . Awkwardly she waved goodbye to them before Quan Jingyi pulled her along .

As soon as they were out of the headmaster’s office, Li Jianyue hurriedly pulled her hand free from Quan Jingyi’s grasp . “Why do you act this way? How could you not even explain yourself after being accused by others?” she asked . “Everyone calls you a delinquent . If you earn a reputation as a delinquent this way, that’s such a huge injustice!”

It wasn’t fair at all .

They had found him to be guilty just because of his bad reputation?

Li Jianyue was furious . On the contrary, the victim, standing in front of her, seemed utterly indifferent . That infuriated her even more .

Quan Jingyi half-smiled at her . “I didn’t quite expect you to have such a strong sense of justice . Do you intend to be a heroine that protects the weak?”

Li Jianyue didn’t think it was funny . “How can you still laugh? It is so maddening! That boy said such horrible things to slander me…” like when he said that I liked you .

How could he be so mindless to say such things?

Everyone knew that she didn’t like Quan Jingyi!

The recent episode had only lessened Li Jianyue’s dislike of him . She didn’t think that feeling will disappear just because she felt sorry for him .

Li Jianyue had always been the little princess of her family . She had never been good at hiding her feelings . Even now, her emotions were on full display . Quan Jingyi watched as she glared at him with pouted lips and clenched fists . He just let her have her say . For he had already guessed the gist of what was on her mind .

Quite honestly, he thought, she looked quite cute .

Quan Jingyi couldn’t resist a chuckle . He reached out to pat her on her head . “Got it . I’m not that weak . I’ve been used to this since I was young . On the other hand, if I had clarified everything, the other boy inside the office would have been in for it . ”

Li Jianyue’s eyes widened . “Even so! It’s still better for someone else other than you to suffer!”

“It was just a slap,” Quan Jingyi said, as he pressed his tongue against the inner wall of his slapped cheek . “It’s not that bad . ”

“It is not that bad?” Li Jianyue covered her face reflexively . “Oh my god . If I got hit, I think I would have cried . ”

Quan Jingyi had a broad smiled on his face as he pictured what she had said in his mind . No matter . Anyone with half a brain would know she definitely would have burst out crying had she been slapped .

Quan Jinyi cleared that thought, shook his head, and started walking away . “You should get back to class . ”

“Huh? What about you?” she quizzed .

“This delinquent just got hit and is not in the mood to attend class . ” With his back facing Li Jianyue, he waved and strode off, slowly disappearing into the distance .

Li Jianyue found his action scandalous . How could he skip class so openly?

But then again, she also very much wanted to skip class .

She quickly brushed off the thought of playing truant and returned to her classroom .

The lessons for the first half of the day had ended . As usual, Li Mosen went to Class 1-11 to look for Li Jianyue .

Zhong Yikun and Lu Yuanyang followed behind him as they always do .

The girls in Class 1-11 were eagerly waiting for Li Mosen to appear . The moment they saw him, they became ecstatic . The girls bumped into each other, as their expressions flashed red hearts .

“What would you like to have for lunch?” Li Mosen asked Li Jianyue, ignoring the other girls .

“Anything will do,” Li Jianyue said casually .

“Hey,” Zhongie looked at Li Jianyue intently . “Why is our Little Sister so out-of-sorts today? What are you thinking about?”

“Huh?” Li Jianyue looked up . “Oh, nothing,” she quickly replied .

Enthusiastically, Lu Yuanyang joined the conversation . Looking into Li Jianyue’s eyes, he said, “Little Sister, stay back after school . Keep us company during basketball practice . I’ll show you some cool moves!”

“Damn,” Zhongie shoved him aside . “You have the cheek to call your moves cool? Don’t listen to him, Little Sister . The best player in our school’s basketball team is your older brother . I’m a close second . This guy here counts for nothing at all!”

That didn’t go down well with Lu Yuanyang . “Damn you, Zhongie! If you dare, let’s have a one-on-one match . You can watch as I destroy you!”

“Come on! What’s there for me to be afraid of?” said Zhongie as he puffed his chest . That led to the two boys bumping their chests, a prelude to their duel .

Their show of strength was short-lived, though .

Li Mosen intervened . He pulled the boys apart and admonished them softly, “How childish . ”

“Hey, how could you say that?”

“Am I even still your Little Cutiepie?” Zhongie looked meekly at Li Mosen, feigning heartbreak .

Li Jianyue laughed at his antics and asked, “Are all the members in our school’s basketball team this lively?”

“Sigh, don’t even talk about it . It’s all Mosen’s fault . He developed a physical training method last year that scared away several good players . Now, there were only a couple of junior players and me still on the team . We hope to attract some new players in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow . ”
