Chapter 138: Covering a Lie
Translator: Dragon Boat TranslationĀ Ā Ā Ā Ā Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Tingting and Song Yin remained locked in combat, making it difficult for anyone who tried to separate them. Even the class monitor took a punch to the face because he couldnāt move quickly enough to evade. He now covered his face, at a loss for what to do.
The class monitor was also the son of a local tycoon and had been acquainted with rich second-generation heirs since childhood. He had never witnessed girls fighting like this before.
Eke International High School boasted excellent soundproofing for its doors and windows. Even though chaos reigned inside the classroom, the outside world remained oblivious to it. Therefore, when Gu Zhuo opened the door, he felt as though he had entered another dimension.
The teacher was shouting the names of Song Yin and Ting Ting, desperately trying to break up the fight. The students occasionally let out exclamations, and the entire classroom resembled a bustling marketplace.
Gu Zhuo swiftly closed the door and observed the spectacle from the sidelines. While he knew that Song Yin usually put on an act, he had not expected her to engage in a brawl at school. A smile played on his lips as he watched.
The teacher realized that she couldnāt let the situation continue. The first period was about to start, and if news of this brawl spread, Class 3 would lose reputation in front of the entire school.
She warned, āBoth of you, stop this at once, or Iāll call your parents right now.ā
This threat brought some rationality back to Song Yin. The idea of her parents being called terrified her, especially since she had been discovered by Song Ting just the day before. If the teacher called them today, his impression of her
would worsen further.
Song Yin reluctantly released her grip. Ting Ting seized the chance to pull her hair.
Tingting, who had been pampered as the only daughter in her family, possessed an arrogant and domineering personality. She had no fear of her parents being called to school, as they would likely not reprimand her.
Song Yin hadnāt anticipated Ting Tingās reaction and began fighting back in pain. Just as they were on the brink of fighting once more, an angry voice cut through the turmoil, āEnough, all of you!ā
All eyes turned toward the classroom door as Song Kai strode in, his expression filled with anger. He swiftly stepped forward, forcibly separating the two girls.
Meanwhile, Song Fan calmly picked up her textbook and walked to the podium.
She wore an indifferent expression, as if she hadnāt witnessed anything at all. Her composure stood in stark contrast to Song Kaiās visible anger.
Song Fan had no personal stake in who Song Yin fought with. If she werenāt required to attend the first class, she might have preferred to retreat to her office and avoid the situation altogether.
Song Kai assessed the injuries on Song Yinās body. Tearfully, she whimpered, āFourth Brother, it hurts.ā
Tingting couldnāt stand to see Song Yin crying. She rolled her eyes and remarked, āYouād better stop crying. You were the one who hit me first, so I fought back. Who are you pretending to be weak for?ā
Confusion marked Song Kaiās expression as he asked, āYin Yin, did you really start the fight?ā
Song Yin initially contemplated denying it but recognized the futility of lying, given that the incident occurred in front of the entire class. With teary eyes, she nodded in acknowledgment, saying, āI attacked first, but it was because Ting Tingās words were too hurtful.ā
She then threw herself into Song Kaiās arms and began to cry, as if she had been grievously wronged, eliciting sympathy from those present.
Song Fan pulled out a chair, sitting down to observe how Song Kai would handle the situation.
Tingting enthusiastically chimed in, āStop spreading lies. I simply mentioned something about the game, and you charged at me like a maniac!ā
In the past, Song Kai would undoubtedly have unconditionally sided with Song Yin. However, recent experiences had taught him not to trust surface appearances blindly. He turned to Song Yin and said, āTell me exactly what Ting Ting said. Donāt leave anything out.ā
Reluctantly, Song Yin repeated Tingtingās words. After a momentās hesitation, she added, āI was merely expressing some doubts, and Ting Ting accused me of cheating. I genuinely donāt care about the game, but she got so worked up just because I was chatting with everyone. Clearly, she looked down on me and used this incident to ridicule me.ā
Tingting huffed in response, āYouāre reading too much into it. If you truly didnāt care about the game, you wouldnāt have engaged in the topic. Maybe Iām right, and you did cheat.ā
Song Yin couldnāt stand hearing the word ācheat,ā so she clung to Song Kaiās arm and pleaded, āFourth Brother, it hurts so much. Can you accompany me to the infirmary?ā
After assessing Song Yinās disheveled appearance and the red marks on her arms, Song Kai thought it best for her to visit the infirmary. He turned to Song Fan and asked, āCan we get permission to visit the infirmary?ā
Song Fan readily agreed. She wanted to put an end to the matter in class and didnāt want further disruptions during her lesson. It was time for her class to beginā¦
