Meng Yang was visibly deflated. He hung his head and muttered, "This counts as misconduct, doesn't it?"
Principal Kong sighed helplessly. "I don't like getting involved in the business of other people, especially young ones like you. Just do what you need to do. If you made a promise, then you naturally have to keep it."
And just like that, Meng Yang perked up again like a wilted flower that had just been watered.
He beamed happily at the man. "I understand, Uncle Kong. Take care on your way!"
Principal Kong was still miffed, of course, but he had little choice in the matter.
"Study hard," he said through gritted teeth before turning around and walking away.
Yan Wei stood at the entrance of the cafeteria and watched Principal Kong wave his hand before meandering through the crowd.
Her face turned ashen, her mood becoming even fouler.
