Chapter 757: Chapter 757: Returning to One’s Ancestral Roots (13)_1 Chapter 757: Chapter 757: Returning to One’s Ancestral Roots (13)_1 Long-standing habits steadied him, and he didn’t show any signs of disturbance.

“Fine, we’ll retest. To ensure fairness, the top ten students in the entire school will retake the exam. Principal Qi, do you have any objections?” The headmaster concluded, looking at Qi Lian as if seeking his opinion.

With the situation at that point, what could Qi Lian say? Even though he was fuming inside, he dared not show any resentment outwardly and just pursed his lips with a nod.

“Alright, let’s handle it this way for now. And you, if you have any issues in the future, come to my office directly. Don’t shout about it outside. What kind of behavior is that?” The last remark was directed at Ruan Lei.

“Yes, yes, I know I was wrong. I’ll definitely write a self-criticism report when I get back.” Ruan Lei was thrilled with the outcome and didn’t mind the criticism at all, immediately admitting his mistake.

“Alright, you all go back to your classrooms. After school this afternoon, come to my office. I’ll personally invigilate the evening self-study test. Teacher Gu, please prepare a test similar to the last one in terms of the knowledge points.”

“OK.”

Leaving the headmaster’s office, Ruan Lei walked at the front, puffing out his chest proudly. Jiaojiao trotted behind him, dusting off the dirt from his clothes and flattered, “Brother, you’re so awesome, the best ever.”

“Of course, how could I let Jiaojiao suffer? That spot should have been ours.” Ruan Lei boasted. Had it not been something concerning Jiaojiao, and only about himself, he wouldn’t have been so worked up.

The education he had received from childhood was to protect his sister, so how could he let her be aggrieved under his watch? What belonged to her, no one could take away!

“…” Xiu Xi, who had done all the work for someone else, didn’t want to speak throughout the ordeal.

This issue would have been resolved eventually with his approach, merely a matter of sooner or later; results could have come out as early as tomorrow. Now Ruan Lei had abruptly stepped in and claimed nearly all the credit for himself.

Seeing Jiaojiao holding Ruan Lei in such high regard gave him a tight feeling in his chest.

Ruan Feng also admired Ruan Lei’s actions that day, ruffling his hair: “Not bad, you’ve grown up.”

“Hey, that’s for sure. My voice has changed, I’ve grown up long ago!” Little Fatty was showing off.

“Lei is really amazing. Didn’t you see how bad Principal Qi’s face looked?” Lu Zishu said with admiration, but then he added with a hint of worry, “You crossed him like that; won’t he try to trip you up in the future?”

“Don’t worry, we went in together. If he tries to trip someone, he won’t spare you either.” Ruan Lei patted his shoulder in a brotherly fashion, suggesting they would face troubles together if needed.

“???” Zishu.

When everyone returned to the classroom, the bell signaling the end of the period had rung. Classmates crowded around, eager for news. Ruan Lei didn’t keep them in suspense, vividly reenacting what he had seen, which had everyone bursting into laughter.

Jiaojiao watched and couldn’t help but laugh as well, thinking that if he couldn’t make it in academics, he could totally become a comedian or a crosstalk actor. Zishu would be a perfect partner, and surely they would become famous throughout Jiangnan.

Homeroom teacher Hu Lanzhi had stepped out for a while around noon and had just returned on time, never expecting such a big event to have taken place during her absence.
