To Qin Huai, Yu Zhi was the first and only friend she had truly cared for since entering this school.
Yu Zhi's family situation was rather complicated. If the principal couldn't withstand the pressure from those parents, she might not even have anyone left to help her.
Qin Huai didn't want to see that happen, nor did she want to lose this friend because of baseless rumors.
"It's fine. They can't do anything to me." Yu Zhi patted her shoulder, signaling her not to overthink.
But to Qin Huai, those words felt entirely different.
She gazed at the other girl with a complicated expression, the words stuck in her throat ultimately left unsaid as she let out a long sigh.
Halfway through the second class in the afternoon, Director Sun Xuemei from the Educational Affairs Office appeared at the classroom door.
She often wore a stern expression, paired with her habit of wearing only black or white clothing. Many students teased her behind her back, giving her the nickname "Old Witch."
