Chapter 65 - 65: Reaping What You Sow

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

What could Mei Mu do to help?

Right now, she wished she knew nothing and could quietly be that gentle and kind little white flower.

However, the girl’s gaze was too hard to ignore. If she continued to pretend to be oblivious, it might damage her image in the eyes of her other classmates.

Mei Mu had no choice but to step forward and say, “What happened? Sister, why did you let another student sit in your seat? The class is about to start, and the teacher might get angry.”

Mei Shu calmly sat down in the seat of that girl. “The class can start now. Is there any other problem?”

Mei Mu’s eyes turned red and anxiously crouched down to inquire about the girl’s condition.

The girl couldn’t speak openly about it and stuttered for a long time before half-veilingly explaining the whole situation.

Of course, Mei Mu was well aware of what had happened earlier, but she pretended to be shocked as if hearing about it for the first time, covering her mouth in surprise. “Wait a moment, I’ll call the school nurse!”

Mei Mu appeared very enthusiastic, and the girl was deeply moved, repeatedly nodding in thanks, “Thank you, Mei Mu!”

Mei Shu quietly continued memorizing words on the side, and soon the bell for class rang. The teacher walked into the classroom on time and noticed Mei Mu’s absence.

“Class monitor, where’s Mei Mu?”

The teacher had seen the school forum in the morning and learned about Mei Mu’s situation.

He had a good impression of her and was worried that she might be emotionally affected during this critical time, affecting her performance in the college entrance examination.

The class monitor, Zhang Hao, immediately stood up and answered, “Teacher, Mei Mu went to the infirmary to ask the school nurse over to help Zhou Li.” “Zhou Li, what happened to you? Are you feeling unwell?” The teacher walked down from the podium with concern, but when he reached Zhou Li’s seat, he found Mei Shu sitting there.

And Zhao Li was in Mei Shu’s seat.

The teacher frowned in confusion and asked, “Why did you change seats without permission? Even if you’re not feeling well, you can’t switch seats without the teacher’s permission. Hurry back to your original seats.”

Zhou Li shook her pale face and said, “Teacher, I can’t get up.”

The longer she stayed in that seat, the more anxious she felt. Now, her whole body was trembling.

The teacher noticed her abnormal condition and asked, “What’s wrong with you? If it’s serious, I’ll contact the class teacher and ask him to call your family, and you can go home and rest.”

“No, it’s not that.”

Zhou Li was on the verge of tears.

The teacher’s face darkened as he sensed that something serious had happened. He turned to Zhang Hao and said, “Zhang Hao, you tell me, what happened just now?”

Zhang Hao sighed and said, “Zhou Li seems to be unable to get up. I don’t know the exact reason; she only told Mei Mu about it.”

He was telling the truth.

At noon, he found that there was not enough balance on his meal card, so he queued up at the canteen to deposit money into the card, which wasted some time. When he returned, some of the classmates were crowded around Mei Shu’s seat, but they dispersed when they saw him come back.

He had intended to remind Mei Shu to be careful, but he didn’t expect Zhou Li to be the one who encountered the problem.

If he remembered correctly, Zhou Li was among the group of students standing near Mei Shu’s seat just now.

This could be considered her reaping what she sowed.

The teacher glanced at his watch, frowned, and then asked Zhou Li with a stern tone, “Now the study time is very tight. We can’t continue wasting everyone’s time here. Tell me, what’s wrong with you? If you have any discomfort, just tell me. Don’t be shy.”

Zhou Li didn’t want to speak, but seeing the teacher’s displeased expression, she could only muster the courage to explain softly, “Teacher, my butt seems to be stuck to the chair and I can’t get up.”

Her words caused the surrounding classmates to burst into laughter.

Zhou Li’s face turned so red that it seemed like it could drip blood.

The teacher immediately scolded them to be quiet, then looked at Zhou Li with surprise. “How can you be stuck there for no reason? Did someone deliberately put glue on the chair?” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After speaking, the teacher subconsciously looked at Mei Shu, massaged his temples in distress, and asked, “Mei Shu, what’s your explanation for this matter?”

Mei Shu looked up after finishing the last word she was memorizing. She smiled innocently and said, “Teacher, how would I know what happened? I just came back not too long ago.”

“Teacher.” Zhou Li tearfully said, “Mei Shu dragged me over here to sit down. After sitting, I found that my clothes and thighs were already stuck.”

The teacher became angry. He thought it was Mei Shu who had caused this situation and immediately slammed the table, asking Mei Shu to stand up and sternly questioned, “Explain it again. Is this incident related to you?”

Mei Shu shrugged fearlessly. “If you say it’s related, then of course it is. After all, that’s my seat. Other students sat on it for a moment, and they got stuck, which is quite peculiar. As for why they got stuck, I’m also curious about it..”
