The intern taught a top-performing class, and the parents wanted to change the homeroom teacher.

Evening self-study.

After finishing his meal, Lu Qian chatted with his students in the classroom.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and a girl stood in the doorway.

"Excuse me, is Professor Lu here?"

Zhang Sisi went to the math group earlier but couldn't find Lu Qian, so she mustered up the courage to come to Class 25.

When she was still in Class 7, she experienced Class 25 coming to "thank you," which left her with some lingering trauma.

In her eyes, Class 25 was almost like a monstrous flood.

"Teacher Lu, they're looking for you," a student relayed.

Lu Qian stood up and looked over, somewhat surprised. Why was Zhang Sisi looking for him?

Upon entering the corridor, Lu Qian spoke calmly, "Zhang Sisi, is there something you need?"

Zhang Sisi bit her lip, then suddenly bent down and bowed deeply. "Teacher Lu, I've come to apologize to you."

"I'm sorry, Teacher Lu."

This unexpected move took Lu Qian by surprise, and his voice softened involuntarily.

He probably knew why Zhang Sisi had come.

"Straighten your back first."

Zhang Sisi stood up straight, head down, still not daring to meet Lu Qian's gaze, her fingers gripping the hem of her clothes, her heart filled with nervousness.

"I know why you've come. Feel free to say whatever you want, it's okay," Lu Qian said softly.

Zhang Sisi took a deep breath, her eyes stinging slightly.

What she feared most was that Teacher Lu wouldn't want to see her, or that he would tell her to leave after hearing just one sentence, so she chose to apologize directly and frankly.

Fortunately, Teacher Lu did not let her leave.

At this moment, Zhang Sisi was a little dazed. Teacher Lu was still so gentle with his students.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.

Who is to blame?

I can only blame my previous silence and cowardice.

After a pause, Zhang Sisi spoke with a look of shame, "Teacher Lu, I'm sorry. You taught me so diligently, but I didn't stand up for you that day. I... I was so selfish..."

As she spoke, the little girl choked up and cried, her words becoming fragmented and incoherent.

"Teacher Lu, I was so slow to realize that I was too short-sighted and overlooked your...your contributions. Although it's too late to say this now, I still want to come and say sorry to you."

Lu Qian looked at her quietly for a long time, then sighed and returned to the classroom.

Zhang Sisi felt a sudden dizziness. Why did Teacher Lu suddenly leave?

I really went too far before!!

How could someone do such a thing!

Fortunately, a few seconds later, Lu Qian pulled back a pack of tissues and said softly.

"Let's wipe it."

Zhang Sisi lowered her head and pulled out a few tissues to wipe the corners of her eyes haphazardly.

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Qian said, "Sisi, I accept your apology."

To be honest, Zhang Sisi's actions, from the moment she changed shifts to now apologizing to him, were a bit unexpected.

When Lu Qian was in charge of Class 7, he already knew what kind of personality Zhang Sisi had.

Although he was the top student in his class, he always preferred to remain silent. Even if he had ideas in his mind, he didn't dare to speak them out, which led him to follow the crowd in many things.

Moreover, Lu Qian was fully aware that Zhang Sisi had her own study plan and preferred to study independently.

Is this change a blessing in disguise?

Lu Qian couldn't say for sure. He wasn't a magnanimous person, but he wasn't petty either.

As one of those who remained silent, Zhang Sisi's willingness to apologize shows that she has realized her mistake.

Whether it's because of declining grades or the class atmosphere, it's good that they came.

This proves that she is still a person who can be saved.

Lu Qian said "accept the apology" because he didn't want this matter to continue to bother Zhang Sisi and become an obsession in her heart.

Silent people are often the ones who think a lot.

Whether or not she is forgiven is no longer important; she has already received the punishment she deserved.

Moreover, Lu Qian also noticed that Zhang Sisi was less cowardly and more defiant now.

Life is truly unpredictable.

Upon hearing Lu Qian say "accept the apology," Zhang Sisi's eyes were filled with surprise and lingering fear of surviving a close call.

Correspondingly, she felt even more ashamed.

"Alright, let bygones be bygones. How's the new class?" Lu Qian asked casually.

Zhang Sisi wiped her eyes with her sleeve, looked up at Lu Qian, and nodded vigorously. "Teacher Song is very good, the other teachers are also very good, the class atmosphere is also very good, the teaching pace is a little fast, but I can catch up quickly."

Lu Qian nodded slightly. "That's right. A change of environment and a change of mood will make you even better than before."

More students returned to the classroom, and the students passing by looked at Zhang Sisi with curiosity. It was almost time for evening self-study.

"Go back to your studies. Just treat what happened before as a dream. When you wake up, you still need to study hard," Lu Qian said.

Zhang Sisi nodded vigorously, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Teacher Lu. I'll head back now."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the stairwell. When she got there, she looked back and saw that Teacher Lu was still watching her. She bowed again before leaving in a hurry.

Lu Qian stood there for a while, as if he was thinking about something.

He didn't return to the classroom until the evening self-study bell rang.

The students have all arrived and have begun their independent learning.

Lu Qian stood on the podium, carefully putting the chalk stubs back into the box one by one.

Zhang Sisi's incident gave him a unique insight: some things are more important than what's in textbooks.

Lu Qian clapped his hands gently. "Class, put your pens down for a moment."

The whole class stopped writing and looked at Lu Qian.

"As you all probably know, a student from Class 7 has transferred to another class," Lu Qian said quietly.

The news spread very quickly, enough to reach the entire school in a single day.

The students below couldn't help but start discussing it.

"They definitely couldn't stand the atmosphere."

"There are still some smart people out there."

"Hey, she's not stupid~"

"..."

Lu Qian tapped the podium again, signaling the students to be quiet.

"You're right, this student is quite smart; at least this time they made the right choice."

"This also made me think of something I wanted to tell you."

"Whether you're in school or in the real world, life is about fighting. Don't give up on pursuing your rights just because you're afraid. If this student hadn't fought for it, he probably wouldn't have gotten this transfer."

"Of course, this doesn't mean you should talk back recklessly and go against everyone at every turn, but rather that you should dare to speak your true thoughts and know how to speak up for yourself."

"I can protect you at school, but I can't protect you forever. What I can do now is teach you how to protect yourselves."
