Plan A
Running with the Ball 16
Master Fourteen, help me photoshop a picture.
【It will be done right away.】
Su Xin wasn’t interested in how that man and woman were tumbling and rolling in bed; anyway, the camera was recording.
【The photoshop is complete.】
No problem.
10:30 PM.
The evening self-study session for second-year high school students generally ended at ten. At ten-thirty, the boarding students were already in their dorms getting ready for bed, having finished washing up. Some were still waiting to shower or were doing laundry.
As for the day students, they had already returned home, preparing to end their day.
Second Year, Class 7 Group Chat.
【Anonymous】Cao Cao1: I… f#ck…
【Anonymous】Cao Cao: When I saw the exposé back then, I didn’t really care, felt like it had nothing to do with me anyway, but now that I’ve seen it with my own eyes, I suddenly feel so excited.
【Anonymous】Di Renjie2: Suddenly shocked!3 Ruckus-maker4, do you have some tea to spill too?
【Anonymous】Cao Cao: I’m about to drop the evidence.
【Anonymous】Li Yuanfang5: Sitting and waiting to eat melon6.
【Anonymous】Di Renjie: Yuanfang, what do you think?
【Anonymous】Li Yuanfang: My lord, regarding this matter, I’m f#cking speechless.
【Anonymous】Cao Cao: [Snap-photo]
【Anonymous】Li Yuanfang: Oh my god, this is probably a stone hammer7, right?!
【Anonymous】Di Renjie: F#ck, how exciting!
【Anonymous】Diao Chan8: I really didn’t expect the head teacher to be this kind of person. I actually quite liked him before, now I despise him.
【Anonymous】Diao Chan: Scumbag men should be condemned by all9.
【Anonymous】Di Renjie: Diao Chan, you wouldn’t happen to be LXX, would you?10
【Anonymous】Diao Chan: How did you know…
【Anonymous】Di Renjie: I saw it. The scene where you tore your boyfriend a new one11.
【Anonymous】Diao Chan: He’s already an ex-boyfriend, that piece of trash. Not a single man is a good person.
【Anonymous】Li Yuanfang: I object to that statement!
Su Xin retired after her mission was accomplished. That photo, taken at night, was photoshopped by Fourteen, but it didn’t matter. The affair was real.
He Qin was extremely cautious. Unless she was at home, she would never show any intimate actions outside, so it was almost impossible to get a photo. There were tons of video screenshots that could be taken at her home, but if it were a video screenshot, it would be too obvious.
The head teacher of Second Year, Class 7 is cheating!
The previous news could still have been called a wind from an empty cave12, something someone made up. But this time there was solid proof; it was 100% real, impossible to be fake.
Most of the students got involved, collectively scorning Feng Linhan.
How could trash like this have the nerve to stand on the podium and teach them with chalk? How could he have the nerve to tell them that the first thing to learn in school isn’t knowledge, but how to be a decent human being?
The female students’ scolding was especially harsh, while the male students mostly had a “watching a show” attitude.
No girl likes a cheating scumbag, and those students who had previously respected their math teacher felt their image of him was shattered.
Some girls who had been hurt in relationships before took the lead in mocking him, and the news spread quickly.
The rules of this high school were as follows: you were in one class when you first enrolled, then classes were naturally reassigned for the arts/science stream split in the next semester, and then reassigned once more in the first semester of the second year.
It was currently summer, the first semester of the second year.
Because the classes had already been changed twice, even though the arts and science students were split, some classmates still knew each other.
Information exchanged between students very quickly. Except for a few who didn’t participate much, the boarding students all talked amongst themselves, since everyone was in the dorms anyway.
That photo was deliberately photoshopped by Su Xin to be very blurry. Because it was “secretly taken” late at night, it couldn’t possibly be high-definition, let alone show the faces so clearly.
Some people still chose to wait and see, thinking perhaps it was just someone who looked very similar.
However, a sense of repulsion inevitably crept into their hearts. The male students’ reactions were better, probably because they were fellow men. A portion of them were strongly opposed, while another portion was indifferent.
There were even some who were cheering “666”13 for Feng Linhan.
Feng Linhan and He Qin were entangled for several hours, until everything was a mess.
The next day, Feng Linhan went to class with a face full of satisfaction, glowing with the joys of spring14, only to find that his students were all looking at him with rather strange expressions.
“Is there something you all want to say to me today?”
Feng Linhan pushed up his glasses.
Everyone silently lowered their heads and began to read aloud.
Everyone unanimously maintained their silence on this matter. No one would be stupid enough to run up and tell Feng Linhan.
They were just holding a “watching the excitement” attitude. Feng Linhan taught a fast class15, where most students were focused on studying. They didn’t want to be targeted by the teacher over something like this, so everyone’s dissatisfaction was vented in private. No one had brought it out into the open yet.
The next day, Su Xin followed Bai Jianglan to her office.
The receptionist was very curious about the woman following behind the CEO. That person didn’t look like she was here to work, dressed in casual clothes and flat shoes, but her appearance and aura were both very good.
The secretary was surprised. Isn’t this the person in charge of that company, the woman who called the boss for help that day?
The secretary had previously thought this woman named Jiang Xiao didn’t know her boss, because their demeanor at the time really didn’t seem like they knew each other. But seeing them today, their relationship was clearly very familiar. And the information about pregnant women the boss had her look up before… Reining in her thoughts, the secretary stood up and walked towards the office, preparing to report the boss’s schedule for the day and deliver some documents.
But when she went in, the secretary was shocked again.
“It’s more comfortable to sit here. Here’s the air conditioner remote; if you feel the temperature is too low, just turn it up. Do you want some water?”
???
Who is that person standing there giving all these instructions? Is that my cool boss who would absolutely never use two words when one would suffice?
“Mhm, I’ll let you know if I want anything.”
“Okay.”
Only after seeing Su Xin sit down properly did Bai Jianglan turn her gaze to the secretary who had knocked on the door.
The secretary walked in. Although she was complaining wildly in her heart, she still relied on her excellent professionalism, her expression as unshakable as a mountain as she reported the schedule.
【Host, the video has been saved and is being sent to your phone.】
Fourteen was also full of dislike for this kind of thing. Although it didn’t have any viruses or anything, it would delete this from its own database once the matter was over.
Master Fourteen is as reliable as ever.
It was a very large video file package containing three videos, all high-definition and uncensored footage of Feng Linhan and He Qin, respectively on the bedroom bed, on the small bay window in the bedroom, and in the bathroom.
At their age, still playing so wild.
Su Xin, having a rough idea of the contents, put her phone aside to receive the file.
The secretary had already finished her report and left. She began to busy herself at her own desk, and although her heart was screaming for someone to share this explosive gossip with, she could only hold it in. She didn’t want to get fired for spreading the boss’s private affairs.
“Is there any work I can do?”
“Aren’t you playing your game?”
“Mm, my phone is downloading something, so it’ll be a bit laggy. I’ll play later.”
“Okay, sit here.”
Bai Jianglan’s desk was very large. It was no problem for two people to sit side-by-side, and there was still a lot of space between them.
Su Xin picked up a document and began to read, her mind focused on the file.
Bai Jianglan glanced at her and the corners of her lips curled up, feeling as if honey had suddenly been poured into her heart.
This was her ideal life: to be able to sit and work together with the person she likes, to strive together.
Mm… perhaps that scope could be broadened a bit now, not just limited to work.
As long as I can be with her, it feels like anything I do is happy.
When the download was complete, Fourteen prompted Su Xin.
Su Xin’s mood brightened even more. The evidence is in my hands. Next, we’ll just have to see if you can bear it.
He Qin hadn’t been in the mood to take care of business at the flower shop for the past few days.
No matter what, you had to greet people with a smile at work, but He Qin simply couldn’t smile right now.
This medicine was said to be very fast-acting. Her mother had spent a fortune on it. She didn’t know if there was a baby in her belly now. Yesterday, she had unreservedly clung to Feng Linhan for a long time, bringing out the kind of clinginess she had in her youth.
I hope there is.
Jiang Xiao! He Qin gnashed her teeth as she chanted this name over and over, her face filled with hatred.
No matter what, she couldn’t possibly lose to this person she looked down on.
Actually… she had already lost five years ago when Feng Linhan and Jiang Xiao got married, but she was not resigned to it.
She had to prove to Jiang Xiao that she would definitely take back her love. Anyway, she was only twenty-six now.
The strange feeling in Feng Linhan’s heart refused to dissipate. It was especially strong during class. Every time he turned around to write problems on the blackboard, the stares from behind him would prickle uncomfortably.
In the past, the students were always looking at the blackboard, but for some reason, he felt that today the students’ gazes were circling all over him. It felt uncomfortable, making him think there was something wrong with his appearance. During the break, he specifically went to the teachers’ restroom to tidy up, only to find nothing wrong with him. He was dressed neatly, and none of the marks from last night were showing at all.
During the break between classes, when he passed by other classrooms in the hallway, students from other classes, both those who knew him and those who didn’t, were staring at him. Some were even whispering. The girls looked angry, while the boys were acting nonchalant.
Something’s not right with the school today, and something’s not right with the students today.
But it wasn’t everyone. Feng Linhan could only explain it as him being paranoid, or that the whole class was truly hiding a big secret from him.
During the long break of the evening self-study session, the grade-level teachers launched a major surprise inspection—the stairwells, hallway corners, boys’ restroom, sports field, the small grove—to see if anyone was smoking, dating, or involved in other disciplinary infractions.
The school did not permit puppy love16 and checked for it very strictly.
Feng Linhan originally thought there would be absolutely no problem in his class, but he didn’t expect to actually catch a couple on the sports field.
“Teacher, we were just here to chat.”
“Chatting while kissing?”
“Well, Teacher, you’re cheating on your wife.”
One stone stirred a thousand ripples17.
