Wei Teng opened his mouth as if to say something, but met Shen Moyu's extremely sincere gaze.
He paused for a moment, then sighed: "No matter what, you're going to get a demerit, do you understand?"
Similarly, Shen Moyu nodded calmly.
Even if he just arrived, even if he just became a representative of the top three students at Zhengde No. 1 Middle School, the fact that he got into a fight has been confirmed no matter what, so there's no need for him to run away from it.
“And you!” When Wei Teng looked at Su Jinning, his expression instantly made a 360-degree turn.
Su Jinning shut up, feeling wronged, while Wei Teng continued his endless chatter, but Su Jinning's mind had already drifted to the window. Anyway, he was basically spouting the same old platitudes, the kind he'd memorized by heart.
Su Jinning obediently lowered her head and answered. It was unclear how long it was before Wei Teng finally stopped.
Wei Teng turned around, took the surveillance video from outside the sports building, and handed it to Zhao Yu with a slightly angry expression.
In the video, Zhao Yu led a large group of vocational high school students over the low wall and into the sports building.
"No wonder the gatekeeper said he didn't see him bring a group of vocational high school students in; so you climbed over the wall!"
Wei Teng turned off the recording with a stern face, then turned around and said sternly, "You've become so bold now, daring to bring students from other schools to climb over the wall! And daring to do whatever you want in the sports building!"
Seeing that Zhao Yu remained silent, Wei Teng became even angrier: "You brought a vocational high school student to the No. 1 Middle School's sports building to cause trouble, huh! I'm going to tell your mother about your amazing feat today!"
Zhao Yu's mother is a homeroom teacher at the school. She's not a very good teacher, but she's somewhat well-known.
However, half of her fame comes from her taking advantage of students and never treating them equally, only targeting her classmates. The other half is due to the son of this brawling young man.
In Wei Teng's eyes, his mother and this good-for-nothing son were the same. Both were argumentative, belligerent, and unreasonable.
Zhao Yu was terrified of his mother, after all, she was incredibly ruthless when she beat him, and all she cared about was "leaving him alive."
"I was wrong, teacher! I was wrong!" Zhao Yu's triangular eyes drooped as he tugged at Wei Teng's sleeve, pleading for forgiveness. He wanted to argue, but he had long since lost his nerve. He was nothing like the person who had been arguing with Su Jinning last night.
At that moment, he was like a mouse caught by a cat, struggling in vain.
Wei Teng was furious. Holding his forehead, he scolded him, "Now you know fear! How many times has this happened! I really can't control you anymore! If you can't handle it, then get out of here!" Wei Teng's stern voice echoed through the office once again.
After half an hour of being lectured, Zhao Yu was still furious. He pulled a pair of broken glasses from his pocket and slammed them on Wei Teng's desk: "Director, look, that Shen Moyu just threw them at my eyes without thinking."
Shen Moyu glanced at his glasses but didn't say anything.
Seeing that Shen Moyu had no reaction, he began to complain like a victim: "Teacher, look at the injuries on my face, they were all from my glasses. What if I go blind!"
Thousands of eyes turned to Shen Moyu, as if everyone was curious about what he would say.
The scene fell silent for no apparent reason. Wei Teng also felt a bit of a stomachache. He sighed and said, "Shen Moyu, you can't just shoot him in the eyes."
Shen Moyu walked past Wei Teng and looked at Zhao Yu: "Fighting while wearing glasses? Are you an idiot?"
"..." Wei Teng.
“…” Su Jinning.
“??…!” Zhao Yu.

The punishment was that those who fought had to sweep the playground after school for a week, and they were not allowed to go home until it was clean.
The others were assigned to the playground, while Shen Moyu and Su Jinning were assigned to sweep the school paths together.
Back in class, they became the center of attention again, with everyone crowding around them as if they'd never seen anything like it before.
"He deserves it. He even went to the sports committee for help once before, but he still got beaten up. He just doesn't learn his lesson," Chen Yuanyuan said indignantly.
Shen Moyu frowned: "Did they have a grudge before?"
Chen Yuanyuan shrugged and joked, "Tch, he's just jealous of how handsome the people in our sports committee are, that's all."
Shen Moyu laughed, and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Good? How so?"
Chen Yuanyuan rested her chin on her hand and said, "Actually, even though he seems carefree and irresponsible, and sometimes has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, he's actually incredibly kind! That time when the girls in our class were being targeted by another class, he led the whole class, grabbed brooms and mops, and went to kick that class up, hahaha!"
When the people around remembered that incident, they all burst into laughter, gesturing wildly as they recalled the details of that day's class-breaking incident.
Shen Moyu could even picture his expression as he asked, "And then?"
Everyone got excited and started talking to Shen Moyu about Su Jinning, both the good and the bad, the domineering and the silly.
A group of people sat laughing and chatting, and the conversation eventually turned to the forum.
Shen Moyu listened quietly to the headlines about their fight yesterday, his expression unchanging, as if he were listening to some boring gossip.
"And look at this." Chen Hang smiled, his cheeks flushed, and held his phone up to show Shen Moyu.
It's a fanfiction about the two of them, nothing special, except that the villain section in the character introduction is filled with the words 'Zhao Yu'.
Shen Moyu couldn't help but laugh when he saw it, and waved his hand helplessly: "How come you guys can come up with all sorts of things?"
"Isn't this perfect? I heard they get really badly tortured later on, and I'm really enjoying watching it." Chen Yuanyuan said smugly.
Shen Moyu rarely found himself so comfortable mingling with these people. Suddenly, thinking about the absurd things that had happened with his "boyfriend" these past few days, he couldn't help but feel that perhaps Su Jinning was someone worth remembering.

Author's Note:
Shen Moyu: Fighting while wearing glasses? Are you an idiot?
To be honest, this story is based on a true story. Although he was incredibly arrogant, as an eyewitness, I have to say: He was fucking cool.
Happy Chinese New Year! (What the heck?)
Chapter 11 Friends
This wasn't the first time Su Jinning had been punished to clean the playground, so she led the group behind her towards the logistics department of the teaching building with great experience.
Once they had their brooms, they started dividing up the tasks. The person who started the trouble would take on the largest area, the front playground, while the rest would be assigned to the back playground and the walkway.
At the entrance to the front playground, fallen leaves were scattered all over the ground, looking like they would be hard to sweep. Zhao Yu looked at the huge front playground and muttered something through gritted teeth.
Su Jinning didn't hear clearly, but it wasn't anything nice.
