The next day, an announcement is made by the school's speaker. "A recent rumor of a student cheating was investigated by the school. However, the investigation showed that the student did not cheat. A student class 3-A has already been expelled for wrongly accusing this student. This is a warning to any student who continues to spread the rumor."
The students in Class 3-A exploded. "Everyone check who is absent!" All the students looked around for an empty desk.
"Hang Qing Tian is not here!" a student exclaimed. Everyone's attention turned to Hang Qing Tian's desk.
"I can't believe it! He falsely accused Qin Shi Ran."
"Just how much hate does he have for Qin Shi Ran."
"To be honest, I heard about the rumor from Hang Qing Tian, but I didn't expect him to be making it up."
Everyone cautiously looked at Qin Shi Ran, afraid that he would take revenge on them for talking behind his back. Some students also went up but they received the cold shoulder.
Qin Shi Ran is talking to Han Bing. His eyes solely concentrated on her.
Right! They can ask through Han Bing about Qin Shi Ran's thoughts.
"Hey, Han Bing, can we talk to you for a sec?" Hang Qing Tian's friends who mainly talk behind Qin Shi Ran's back came up to her seat.
Qin Shi Ran gave them a glare. What do they want with her?
Hang Qing Tian's friends felt a chill behind their back.
"Sure." Han Bing nodded and faced toward Qin Shi Ran. "I'll be back."
Han Bing rolled her chair out of the room. The students followed behind her. Qin Shi Ran absentmindedly stared into her direction. I'll be back. I'll be back. I'll be… Qin Shi Ran's mind is filled with her voice.
"Do you guys need anything?" Han Bing stopped at the end of the hallway.
The students look at each other, all hesitating to speak first. A girl, with a pink bow and short hair, elbowed her boyfriend in front of her. Seeing that he got pushed out, the boy "Zi, Zi, wu, wu" for a while, not knowing what to say.
The girl shook her head. Why did she get such a cowardly boyfriend? "Han Bing, we wanted to ask you if Qin Shi Ran is mad at us?"
Han Bing looked at her confusedly. "Why would Qin Shi Ran be angry at you guys?"
The girl didn't expect that Han Bing would be this straight. "Well, you see, we were friends with Hang Qing Tian and we talked a lot about Qin Shi Ran while he was away."
Han Bing realized what was going on. She chuckled. "Don't worry about it. Although Qin Shi Ran may look like this, he doesn't care much about what other people say."
The students in front of her made a relieved face. They were afraid that Qin Shi Ran would take revenge.
"If you guys don't need anything else, then I'm going to go back in now." Han Bing smiled. She turned her chair and rolled back into the class.
"Han Bing is so nice like a goddess."
"She's also pretty too. I saw her sleeping in the school yard last time. That scenery. It's impossible to use words to describe it." One male student said dreamily.
"Too bad that her leg is crippled. I would have asked her out."
"If she wasn't crippled, you think her boyfriend position would be open for you? Dream on!"
The two boys start arguing with each other.
The girl, who was speaking to Han Bing before, broke the fight. "Alright. Alright. You guys should stop it. Class is going to start later. Let's go back in."
Instructor Gao came into the classroom. "Eeh. Everyone please take a seat. I'm going to announce the trip that will be taking place next week."
The class that was originally loud and noisy turned suddenly quiet. They all stretched their ears to hear their anticipated trip.
"As I mentioned before the midterm, the class would be going on a trip. The staff decided to go camping. There is no homework today, so use this weekend to prepare your stuff."
The previously excited student all had a grim expression.
"Ahh. We're just going camping." A student proclaimed.
The home room teacher gave him a look. "What? You want a fancy trip to France or something."
Knowing he made instructor Gao mad, the student shaked his head in fear.
"Before I go, I want to congratulate Han Bing for getting first place in the school year. As a reward, she will be having the same experience as an instructor during this trip." Instructor Gao gave Han Bing a pat on the shoulder. "Continue to work hard."
Han Bing bowed back.
The whole class shot Han Bing a pair of envious eyes. So lucky. She gets to experience the VIP experience that only an instructor can get.
Han Bing sensed a bunch of hostile gazes from her surroundings. She laughed awkwardly. Instructor Gao really pushed her into a ring of fire.
