Chapter 49 The Clerk's Feast
On the way back, Chen Sui walked silently ahead without saying a word, while Chen Che followed behind.
"Class monitor, can you please not walk so fast? Just because you have long legs doesn't mean you can't do anything!"
Chen Che hurried over to Chen Sui's side and found that her eyes were red and her body was trembling slightly. Then, her soft sobs seemed to be ignited, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Oh my god, why are you crying?
Chen Che took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her, asking what was wrong.
Chen Sui wiped away her tears without answering, and her crying seemed to be getting worse.
"No, class monitor, let's talk this out. Can you please stop crying?" Chen Che advised.
"Don't worry about it." Chen Sui sniffed, still wanting to remain withdrawn.
"I don't want to get involved either, but the problem is that if you cry here, passersby will think I've done something to you," Chen Che said helplessly.
He had just cleared his name of being falsely accused of jumping into the lake to commit suicide for love, and now he's already preparing to give himself another label as a scumbag who hurts girls!
What a joke! I, Chen Che, am a genuine pure love god, a well-known pure-hearted male college student in the engineering department. Minotaur, Madam, you don't want to either, blondie, and all those who stand up and kick, get out of here!
Chen Sui turned her head and looked around. Sure enough, people around her were glancing at her intentionally or unintentionally, and some were whispering among themselves, wondering who had made such a pretty girl cry.
It must be because the guy next to me is a womanizer. You see, the more handsome someone is, the more likely they are to be a womanizer. Honey, luckily I'm not that handsome, so I feel at ease dating him.
Sure enough, Chen Sui's tears slowly stopped, and she asked in a dejected tone, "Chen Che, did I mess things up again?"
"Huh?" Chen Che looked puzzled. "What did you mess up?"
"If we hadn't reported Sun Ning and had just gone along with his wishes, wouldn't we have avoided all this trouble?" Chen Sui said.
This is different from the previous scholarship period, when I was in charge of others; now others are in charge of me.
Chen Che spoke gently, trying to minimize Chen Sui's guilt as much as possible: "I'm not blaming you. This wasn't just your decision; it was a decision we made together."
Since this choice has been made, one must be prepared to face the consequences that this choice will bring, and this is just one of them.
Moreover, even if we choose to compromise, it doesn't mean he won't ask us for other things in the future.
Chen Che's words had an effect; seeing that Chen Sui's complexion had improved somewhat, he continued to comfort her:
"So don't put pressure on yourself, don't fight internally, there's always a way out, let's see if there's a light at the end of the tunnel ahead."
"So what should we do next?" Chen Sui asked with concern.
Now it was Chen Che's turn to fall silent.
To be honest, they were very well prepared, but they still didn't expect this unexpected situation to occur, leading to their current dilemma.
However, unexpected things always happen in life.
Moreover, while he was comforting Chen Sui, Chen Che really had no idea how to move this matter forward.
Elite monsters are still difficult to defeat.
"I'm going to talk to Teacher Zhu and Secretary Yan first, and see what their thoughts and suggestions are," Chen Che said after thinking for a moment.
"Oh..." Chen Sui dragged out the last syllable. She was straightforward, but not naive. She immediately understood the implication: if she wanted to discuss it with the two teachers, it meant she wasn't quite sure what to expect.
As expected, it's still because of my own problems...
"I'm relieved. If you need any help, just call me. I'm going back to my dorm now." Chen Suiyan forced a smile and slowly disappeared from Chen Che's sight.
Chen Che smiled and told Chen Sui not to worry, but once she left, his forced smile vanished.
I should go back to my dorm and calm down to think about how to explain this to Zhu and Xu. It was supposed to be a simple handover, but it's turned into this mess. It's really quite ridiculous.
night.
The girls' dormitory of Civil Engineering Class 1 was quiet.
If Chen Che were here, he would be incredibly envious. No one snores; the prestige of having a university dormitory like that goes without saying.
Even so, Chen Sui still couldn't fall asleep, tossing and turning.
If you close your eyes, all you see is Sun Ning's repulsive face.
And Chen Che, because of his reckless courage, has caused a lot of trouble. He must be quite disappointed in himself.
Chen Sui took a deep breath and, as she turned over, her palm touched her phone. The screen lit up in the darkness, and the wallpaper was a family photo from a trip to Beijing one year, during which they bought a lot of souvenirs.
Chen Sui opened her phone's photo album, which contained many photos of people waiting to watch the flag-raising ceremony on the city gate, extremely salty braised pork, fermented mung bean juice that made her roll her eyes after just one bite, and a badge she bought in a souvenir shop.
The badge lay quietly in the drawer of his desk in his room. If placed under a strong light source such as a desk lamp, the decorative background inside the badge would become transparent, leaving only the four large characters "天下为公" (meaning "The world belongs to all") shining brightly.
The following pictures are photos I took after I got my phone, showing old letters I exchanged with a girl in the mountains. On the yellowed paper, the last letter ended with, "Sister, when I go to university, you must come visit me!"
An indescribable feeling made Chen Sui's nose sting, followed by an unnamed force that propelled her out of bed, onto her computer, and into Word. She typed the first line of the entire article in the top left corner:
"Dear Principal, hello!"
It was past midnight when I finished writing the entire article. The power went out in the dormitory at 11 p.m. Fortunately, the laptop battery was still quite durable, allowing me to finish writing the article to my heart's content.
After opening the school's official website, Chen Sui successfully found the principal's email address, clicked send, and received a notification that the email had been successfully sent, which relieved her frustration.
The email even got to her point, and Chen Sui took out her phone, turned on the light, and copied the entire article back onto the letter paper.
Guo Mei, who got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, saw this scene and thought she was dreaming back to her high school days, when she was still rushing to finish her homework in the middle of the night. But then she woke up and remembered that she was a college student now, and all those weekly tests, monthly tests, and midterms could go to hell.
The next day, after class, Chen Sui went straight to the principal's office. She knocked on the door but no one answered. She asked the teachers in other offices and learned that the principal was away on a business trip and would probably not be back for a few days.
Chen Sui was a little disappointed and was about to leave when someone came upstairs looking travel-worn and serious. Chen Sui thought for a moment and realized that the person's appearance matched the principal's photo on the official website.
So, cautiously, he said, "Hello, Principal?"
The other person glanced at her and answered, confirming their identity, "Hello, who are you?"
"Hello, Principal, my name is Chen Sui."
The principal gave a sudden "Oh," his expression gradually softening as he asked, "You sent that email, didn't you?"
"Come in, let's talk in the office."
