"Rong Yan, about your situation... Teacher is deeply sorry; it’s all my fault for being negligent!" Teacher Zhou’s face was full of regret.
She genuinely felt she had been extremely derelict in her duties.
Six months... she actually had not noticed.
With a calm expression, Rong Yan said, "Teacher Zhou, this isn’t your fault, no need to apologize! I would like to apply for dormitory acmodation; can the school arrange it?"
Teacher Zhou was in the midst of guilt at that moment.
Upon hearing this request, she naturally agreed.
"Of course we can!"
"I would like to move in today."
"Okay, I will arrange it for you! As it happens, there are empty dormitory spaces available, and I will submit an application for you."
"Thank you, Teacher Zhou, then I will be going now." Rong Yan took a few steps, then stopped again, "Teacher Zhou, I’m currently having major conflicts with Rong Qiao. If she applies for the dormitory, I don’t wish to live with her."
Rong Qiao might not apply for acmodation herself, but given the class headteacher’s strong sense of responsibility, she might arrange it for Rong Qiao as well.
Teacher Zhou thought about how she used to take good care of her younger sister Rong Qiao, but now... it seemed that the rift between the sisters was quite significant.
This was probably not something that could be mended in a short period of time.
"...Alright! From now on, don’t think too much about other things; just focus on studying! Prepare for the college entrance examination in a month."
Knowledge can change one’s destiny, especially for an orphan like Rong Yan, whose parents died early.
For a brighter future, she must also perform well in the college entrance examination.
"Okay!" Rong Yan replied and then left.
She returned to the classroom, sat down in her own seat, and then started reading...
The surrounding classmates stealthily looked at her; they were just too curious.
What exactly had happened in the headteacher’s office? Why had only Rong Yan and Rong Qiao e back, while Song Rui hadn’t?
Was he penalized to stand in the headteacher’s office?
Rong Qiao was sitting in another row, her gaze occasionally drifting toward Rong Yan.
She just didn’t understand how her sister had bee so ruthless overnight.
Did she not know that doing this... could affect Song Rui’s studies?
The bell for class rang, and as soon as the teacher entered, everyone’s focus shifted and stopped concentrating on Rong Yan...
At noon, after Rong Yan finished eating in the canteen, she ran into the headteacher, "Rong Yan, you’ve e just at the right time. Your dormitory application has been approved, and if you’re free now, e with me, and I will take you to your dormitory."
Rong Yan nodded her head, "Okay, Teacher Zhou!"
The two of them headed to the dormitory area together.
"Here it is. Originally, four people were living here, but this semester they all moved out back to their homes, so it’s just you living alone."
"If you feel scared at night, then shall I transfer someone from another dormitory to e over?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Yan quickly refused, "No, I’m not scared, I’m very happy to live alone, thank you, Teacher Zhou!"
Her gaze fell on the new bedding on the bunk.
Seeing this, Teacher Zhou quickly said, "These are all brand new, I took them out for you directly, including these basic daily necessities. As for other needs, you can find time to go outside and buy them."
"Teacher Zhou, how should I pay for the acmodation costs?"
"No need to pay, the school has waived these, also, the school has charged one thousand yuan to your meal card. From now on, you don’t have to scrimp on what you want to eat."
One thousand yuan for a month’s meals, that was certainly enough.
Rong Yan: ...
She immediately understood the teacher’s intention; it was nothing more than the school’s pensation to her.
Seeing her silent demeanor, Teacher Zhou said, "Don’t feel pressured about this, it doesn’t affect the punishment you choose for Tang Ya and the others. Whatever punishment they deserve, our school won’t interfere with the oute, the same goes for Song Rui; it’s up to the police."
Her intention was to clarify that the school was not trying to buy her off with these little favors.
