With a hearty laugh, Sun Wei strode into the classroom, a smug look on his face. "You should be grateful that I'm even telling you this," he began, his voice dripping with arrogance. "I saw your notebook this morning, but I couldn't stand the sight of it. It reeked of the countryside. So, I threw it in the trash. What can you do about it, Su Li? As far as Teacher Zhou is concerned, you're just a naughty child who didn't do his homework."
Sun Wei's confession hung in the air, causing Su Li's fists to clench in anger. He was ready to pounce on Sun Wei and give him a good beating, but Gao Ming, who was standing next to him, held him back.
"Can't you see?" Gao Ming whispered, "He's trying to provoke you. Even if we know he's the one who threw away your notebook, without it, Teacher Zhou won't take your side. Don't act rashly."
