Brother! This is the adoption certificate. I don't want your sister-in-law!

On Monday morning, the two of them went out together.

Su Xiao walked ahead, her school uniform zipper undone.

Xu Niannian had turned the hoodie she bought for herself inside out, and a tuft of hair stuck up at the back of her head.

Su Wan Ning followed behind him, wondering why he insisted on wearing that hoodie.

As he looked at it, his gaze lingered on that tuft of hair sticking up for several seconds, and he frowned.

As she approached the school gate, she suddenly quickened her pace and caught up with him.

"stop."

Su Xiao paused for a moment, then stopped and looked back at her.

Su Wanning stood in front of him, reached out, pinched the zipper of his school uniform, and zipped it up.

Then she unscrewed the water glass, poured a little water into her palm, stood on tiptoe, and used her palm to gently press down the tuft of hair that had been sticking up all morning on the back of his head.

The movements were very light and careful.

Su Xiao stood still, letting her do as she pleased.

After Su Wanning finished, she took a step back, looked him up and down, and rolled her eyes at him.

"Never serious."

Su Xiao smiled and looked down at her neatly made school uniform.

I don't care whether I look good or not.

He looked up, his eyes crinkling with laughter, "As long as my sister is pretty, that's enough."

Su Wan Ning's face flushed red instantly.

She glared at him, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything. She turned around and walked quickly towards the school gate, her ponytail swinging back and forth.

Su Xiao called out with a laugh from behind, "Little Lemon! What do you want to eat for lunch? Send me a message, and I'll take you!"

Su Wan Ning didn't turn around, but her steps noticeably slowed down.

A black sedan was parked on the road opposite the school gate.

The car window slowly rolled down, revealing the face of a middle-aged woman.

Short hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and a downturned mouth.

Her gaze crossed the road and landed on Su Wanning.

She just saw the whole thing.

Su Wanning helps a boy straighten his collar and smooth his hair.

She knew that boy; he was Su Xiao from Class 12 of Senior Three.

He was a notorious troublemaker throughout the school, known for his disciplinary actions, warnings, fighting, and truancy.

She is Liu Lan, Su Wanning's homeroom teacher.

Having taught for twenty years, what I find most unbearable is seeing good students being led astray by bad students.

Besides, Su Wanning was the top student in the grade and her most prized student.

Her brows were furrowed tightly.

……

During the long break, Su Wanning was sitting in the classroom organizing her notes.

Footsteps echoed in the hallway, and a classmate poked his head in: "Su Wanning, the homeroom teacher wants to go to the office."

Su Wan Ning looked up and paused for a moment, then put down her pen, straightened her school uniform, and walked out of the classroom.

The office door was ajar, and as she walked to the door, she heard a name: Su Xiao.

She paused for a moment, then went inside.

Besides Liu Lan and He Shaojun, there was one other person standing in the office.

Luo Chen.

He stood next to Liu Lan's desk, a half-smile on his face.

Su Wan Ning frowned slightly when she saw him.

When Liu Lan saw her come in, she tapped on the table.

"Su Wanning, come here."

Su Wanning walked over and stood in front of the desk.

Liu Lan glanced at Luo Chen: "Go ahead and say it."

Luo Chen cleared his throat, glanced at Su Wan Ning, and a cold smile appeared on his face: "Teacher Liu, I saw Su Wan Ning and Su Xiao from Class 12 arguing at the school gate last week. Moreover, Su Xiao even came to our class to cause trouble last time and punched me. Su Wan Ning not only did not stop him, but also spoke up for him. I think it is necessary to report this situation to you."

Su Wan Ning stared wide-eyed at Luo Chen, her lips pressed tightly together.

He Shaojun listened from the side, his brows furrowing.

Su Xiao, did she hook up with Su Wan Ning from Class 1?

When did this kid become so capable?

Liu Lan's face darkened even more after hearing Luo Chen's words.

She tapped on the table and turned to He Shaojun: "Mr. He, did you hear that? Su Xiao from your class is already affecting my students. Su Wanning is the top student in our class, ranked in the top three in the grade, and is aiming for a top university. That student in your class has been disciplined, warned, fought, and skipped classes; she's at the bottom of the whole school. Do you think it's appropriate for these two to be hanging out together?"

Feeling embarrassed by what he'd been told, He Shaojun quickly nodded, "Don't worry, Teacher Liu, I'll definitely keep a close eye on Su Xiao when I get back."

Liu Lan didn't look at him, and waved her hand: "Luo Chen, you can go out first."

Luo Chen nodded and glanced at Su Wan Ning as he left.

That glance held smugness, mockery, and a hint of inexplicable pleasure.

This is the consequence of hanging out with thugs!

Su Wan Ning's fingers slowly tightened behind her back.

Only three people remained in the office.

Liu Lan stared at Su Wan Ning with her cold eyes behind her glasses, remaining silent for a few seconds.

"Su Wanning, what else do you want to explain?"

Su Wan Ning opened her mouth, about to speak.

Liu Lan suddenly raised her voice and slammed her hand on the table.

"You really want to explain?"

Su Wan Ning was startled, and her lips trembled slightly.

Liu Lan stood up, walked around to the desk, and stood in front of Su Wanning.

"I saw it all this morning at the school gate! You were helping Su Xiao tidy her clothes and fix her hair, and you two were all lovey-dovey at the school gate. You think I didn't see it?"

Su Wan Ning's face turned pale instantly, and He Shao Jun was also stunned when he heard it.

Is Su Xiao really that capable? She even managed to win over Su Wan Ning?

Su Wanning hurriedly explained, "Teacher Liu, it's not what you think, he is my..."

"I don't care who he is to you!"

Liu Lan interrupted her, her voice rising several octaves, "Do you even know who you are? Top three in the grade, a model student in the teachers' eyes. And who is he? One rotten apple spoils the whole barrel!"

He Shaojun tried to interject, but Liu Lan glared at him, and he shut his mouth again.

Liu Lan didn't give Su Wan Ning any chance to explain. She walked back behind her desk, opened a drawer, and took out her phone.

She slammed her phone on the table.

"Call your father..."

She paused for a moment after she said it.

Su Wan Ning's parents had passed away, so of course she knew.

She quickly changed her tune: "Call your guardian and have them come to the school. I want to ask them if they even care about your grades anymore."

Su Wanning stood there, head down.

The office remained quiet for a long time.

Su Wanning finally spoke, "Teacher, actually..."

"I don't want to hear your explanation. Call your guardian."

Liu Lan leaned back in her chair, rubbing her temples with a headache.

Then Su Wan Ning pursed her lips, reached out, and picked up the phone on the table.

She entered a number that she knew by heart.

The person who wakes her up every day, the person who studies with her every night, the person who buys her a piggy bank, holds an umbrella for her, and calls her "Little Lemon".

She pressed the call button.

The office was so quiet that only the dial tone of a phone call could be heard.

He Shaojun watched from the side, sighing inwardly. Why did Su Xiao have to provoke Su Wan Ning for no reason?

……
