Xinyan nodded to show she understood.
Su Yuelan whispered at this moment, "I didnât expect Feng Aibing to be such a troublemaker."
Upon hearing her words, Xinyan looked up and said, "Donât say that, Iâm not the dirt."
For a moment, everyone had different expressions, then they all laughed together.
Jiang Peiqin patted Xinyanâs shoulder: "Your words took it to a point where Iâm speechless."
Xinyan hugged her books: "Alright, letâs hurry up and leave, or weâll be late. This matter certainly wonât just end like this, but it shouldnât delay class time either."
They walked downstairs together, with Xinyan thinking that class president Kong Yuexiang spoke up for her, so she should visit him at the hospital out of both gratitude and obligation.
Turning her head to Bai Aiwen behind her: "Which hospital is the class president in?"
Bai Aiwen replied: "West Garden Hospital, not far from the East Gate."
At this point, Jiang Peiqin spoke beside them: "When are you planning to visit the class president at the hospital?"
Xinyan responded, "Iâll go this noon. Luckily, I brought some things from home to the small courtyard yesterday; Iâll get them and go directly."
After entering the classroom, Xinyan instinctively looked toward Feng Aibingâs seat.
She found out that there was no one there.
She headed straight to her seat but noticed that the people in class were secretly watching her, intentionally or unintentionally.
It seemed Feng Aibingâs words still had an effect, which made her quite unhappy.
After the first period ended, the counselor came over: "Xinyan, please step outside for a moment."
Xinyan stood up and walked out, knowing it was certainly related to Feng Aibingâs matter.
In the office, she saw not only the department leaders and the troublemaker Feng Aibing but also a man and a woman she didnât recognize.
The department leader looked at Xinyan coming in and turned to the counselor: "Did you explain the situation to Han Xinyan?"
Before the counselor answered, Xinyan spoke up, "Leaders, Iâve already learned the general situation from classmates."
After speaking, she stared at Feng Aibing with his head down: "Feng Aibing, what basis do you have for saying those things?"
Feng Aibing was cowardly at this point, keeping his head down, afraid to speak, genuinely scared now.
It was only after his partner stirred a few words that he started spreading those things in the dormitory, not expecting the class president to stand up for Han Xinyan, and even less expecting to lose control.
His mind was blank and chaotic now, filled with regret.
At this moment, the counselor spoke up: "Feng Aibing, before talking about anything else, you need to take full responsibility for Kong Yuexiangâs medical expenses. Do you have any objections to this?"
Feng Aibing, sweating with panic, said, "I, I have no objections, but I donât, I donât have that much money."
The counselor, a bit frustrated, said, "From start to finish, this is all your fault. You are an adult and must be accountable for your actions. Considering youâre not capable of compensating now, notify your family to come and handle it."
After all, not only did he spread rumors, he also injured someone. Now Kong Yuexiangâs uncle and aunt came on behalf of the family, demanding Feng Aibing apologize and take responsibility for Kong Yuexiangâs medical expenses and the post-care for recovery.
Upon hearing about notifying his family, Feng Aibing was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, pleading, "Canât you not notify them?"
The counselor took a deep breath, "Do you understand how serious this matter is?"
Feng Aibing, more anxious after hearing the counselorâs words, looked directly at Xinyan: "Han Xinyan, I was misled into saying those words. I know I was wrong. I hope you can forgive me."
Truthfully, getting into Beijing University was no easy feat, but what he did was truly unpleasant.
Before she could reply, Feng Aibing turned to Kong Yuexiangâs uncle and aunt: "I know I was wrong. Getting to study here was really hard for me. Please give me a chance."
Kong Yuexiangâs uncle didnât speak, merely frowning at Feng Aibing.
At this point, Kong Yuexiangâs aunt spoke: "With âitâs hard to study here,â you want us to forgive you? Do you realize what Yuexiang endured? Youâre an adult, not a three-year-old."
