Chapter 9 Auntie, I don't need him to take responsibility

  When Xie Feiyu returned from the police station, it was already dark, and the school was in the middle of evening self-study. When he made a report and appeared in Class 3(6), what he saw were the surprised eyes of the whole class.

  Xie Feiyu looked at himself and found that except for a few turns of gauze wrapped around his right arm, there was nothing unusual. He returned to his seat with a nervous heart and quietly asked Pangzi: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

  The fat man didn't answer his words, but instead asked: "How did you come back? How was it handled?"

  "What's going on?" Xie Feiyu was puzzled.

  "Police station?" Fatso whispered, keeping an eye on the math teacher at the podium.

  "This matter? Still under investigation."

  "How are you back? The police chief is your godfather?" Fatso's expression was very strange.

  "Go, it's your own grandfather!" Xie Feiyu was unhappy, what kind of words are these?

  "You're not a relative of this family, how did you just go in and come out?" The fatty looked up and down at Xie Feiyu, his face full of incredulity.

  "Who said I was caught? You're the one who got caught by the police! I'm just assisting with the investigation." Xie Feiyu felt depressed, he had done something quite heroic, but somehow it had turned into a crime.

  "Weren't you caught for being a rogue about extinction?"

  "Who said I'm a rascal? Today I caught a thief who stole our database and the police asked me to go with them to make a record!"

  "Oh no!" The fat man suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed.

  "Yuan Hao, what are you doing? Please follow the classroom rules, you still have a lot to learn." The math teacher was startled and scolded.

  After waiting for a while, seeing the teacher continue writing lesson plans, Xie Feiyu asked: "What's wrong?"

  "Buddy, don't hit me when I say it, okay?" Fatso said in a tearful whisper.

  "What's going on?"

  "Your mom is here."

  "How did she get to school? Where is she now?"

  "Everyone says you're the one who's been playing truant and got caught, so I gave your mom a call. Now she's waiting at the school gate to plead for you."

  "Ah? Fatty, you've really gotten me killed this time." Xie Feiyu was so angry he was speechless. "You didn't even give me a call to ask about it before telling my mom?"

  "I called you, didn't I? But your phone was turned off, and I thought the police had confiscated it." Fatso also knew that he had made a big mistake this time, and with a sorrowful face, he poured out his grievances.

  Xie Feiyu took out his mobile phone and took a look, but it wasn't the case. He was afraid of receiving his mother's scolding call at that time, so he sent a message and turned off the power. Later, he didn't remember to turn it on again. Thinking about what would happen when his mother saw Lan Xiang, Xie Feiyu couldn't sit still. No, he had to go take a look.

  Xie Feiyu asked the math teacher for a leave and returned to the classroom, but left again in less than three minutes, which of course sparked his classmates' endless imagination. Unfortunately, they were having class, or else they would have interrogated Fatso thousands of times.

  Lan Xing parted ways with Xie Fei Yu at the school gate and walked straight to her small room, thinking about all the things that had happened today. Lan Xing felt like she was in a dream, and this dream had a male lead who ran through it from start to finish - her tall, handsome but poor-scoring student Xie Fei Yu. If only his grades were better, after he graduated from college, maybe... Ah, how could I think like that? He's my student, and I'm six or seven years older than him! Lan Xing was embarrassed by her own thoughts, but a faint smile still appeared on the corner of her mouth.

  Not yet at the door, a long-haired woman was seen standing at her room door from afar, as if there was something urgent, pacing back and forth restlessly.

  The streetlights were quite dim, and Lan Xing couldn't make out who it was, but she was certain that the person was waiting for her. Lan Xing quickened her pace and walked over.

  The woman heard the footsteps, turned her head and looked over, and when she saw Lan Xiang, she rushed up a few steps and grasped both of Lan Xiang's hands: "Teacher Lan, please, for the sake of my many years as an orphaned mother, spare him this one time? Please, Teacher Lan."

  The woman's voice was agitated and choked, startling Lan Xing. Under the dim light, she finally saw clearly the face that was delicate in appearance but etched with the hardships of life. "You are...Xie Tianyu's mother?"

  Xie Tianyu's mother, Lan Xiang, had met her a few times before, but it was always because Xie Tianyu had committed some serious misconduct and she was notified to come to school to help educate him. However, the woman's overly anxious appearance at this time still made Lan Xiang uncertain.

  "Yes, yes, it's this black-eyed wolf. He didn't have a father since he was young, and when he grew up, I couldn't control him anymore. Usually, he would secretly peek at the Zhao family's daughter changing clothes next door, and I scolded him several times. Who knew that today he would do something so outrageous? It's really embarrassing! This good-for-nothing, I'll definitely give him a good beating when I get back. However, considering my situation as an orphan and widow, please withdraw this lawsuit. Whatever compensation you want, I'll agree to it. He's still young and doesn't understand things. If he goes in now, his whole life will be ruined. Please, Teacher Lan."

  "Thank you, Mom, but I think you're mistaken, there's nothing to forgive him for..." Lan Xing managed to catch a moment when Xie Chunyan was wiping away tears and inserted a sentence.

  Who would have thought that Xie Chunyan became even more anxious after hearing this, and cried out: "Teacher Lan, I know that something like this has happened, it's very hard for a woman to accept. If you're willing, I'll make sure he takes responsibility for you, and treats you well for the rest of his life..."

  "What's going on? Teacher Lan, what happened?" The teacher next door, Mr. Ma, heard the commotion and came out of his room.

  "It's nothing, just a parent of a student, maybe there was some misunderstanding, I'll just advise her and it will be fine." Lan Xing pulled Xie Chunyan into her own room, opened the door, turned on the light, and just as she was about to go get Xie Chunyan a glass of water, she grabbed hold of her again.

  "Teacher Lan, please, just give him one more chance. I'll make sure he takes responsibility for you and treats you well for the rest of his life. He'll do anything for you, just spare him this once?" Seeing that Lan Xiang was still hesitant, Xie Chunyan thought she was unwilling to forgive Xie Feiyu, so she became even more anxious. "If not, I'll kneel down here for you..."

  "Oh no, Mom, you mustn't say that, I told you, you're definitely misunderstanding something. He doesn't need to take any responsibility for me, really, I should even thank him instead. Today he truly opened my eyes." Lan Xing quickly grabbed hold of Xie Chunyan who was about to kneel down and forced her to sit back in the chair, but as soon as she let go, she stood up again.

  "This is unbearable, this responsibility must be borne, that stinky brat, actually did such a thing, it's too heartbreaking for me."

  "Mom, what are you doing?" Xie Feiyu came in and saw his old mom tugging at Lan Huan, and was stunned.

  "You stinky brat, how dare you come see me? You've completely lost face for me! Come over here and kneel down to Teacher Lan!" Xie Chunyan turned her head and saw Xie Feiyu, scolding him while pointing at his nose.
