Chapter 1, the new teacher in the Night Heart Girls' School.

Brother Lu, it is nothing—

He looked at me in confusion, hearing my voice filled with shyness and resentment: "I have developed feelings for you, is that reason enough?"

Yue Xiaoman couldn't help but laugh: "If you think the Yu family is good, you might as well marry into it."

I finally understand why the Chinese language textbook is missing. Fortunately, I usually only use my textbooks for reading; if there were any markings or names on them, it would be troublesome to compare.

Isn't the tomb-sweeping and ancestor worship a matter for next month

I believe I have won this time

Qin Shiyue is an agent of the Kuomintang infiltrated into our organization, please report to the superiors as soon as possible

Report to Colonel Lu, I found this in the books of a student named Yue Xiaoman! Almost in a flattering manner, I presented the pages filled with words before Colonel Lu. He glanced at them hurriedly and unexpectedly smiled: "What a patriotic youth, wanting to save the country and its people from peril, but..."

I understood. I responded without revealing my emotions, then said goodnight to each of them before returning upstairs to rest. I only remember the relieved smile on that person's face before he died, as if he had been liberated or had completed something important. Suddenly, a flash of insight crossed my mind; at that moment, it seemed as if my handbag had been yanked twice by him, because it had bloodstains on it. After returning home, I threw it in the corner of the room.

"Miss Ye Er, since you have come along, why not stay a little longer?" Qin Shiyue followed me with a sense of shamelessness, his smug expression reflecting my own embarrassment.

Such a scenario always tends to evoke a flurry of thoughts and imaginations

I have only seen thick-skinned individuals, but I have never encountered someone with such an audacious demeanor. Qin Shiyue insisted on escorting me home, and since he expressed his fondness with such words, there was naturally no reason to decline. The Ye family had already been thrown into chaos due to my absence, and my father was on the verge of calling the police to search the city overnight, yet I returned home in the dead of night with a man.

"Ye Bingqing, why is your face red? Could it be that you have taken a liking to me?" Qin Shiyue began to speak without restraint. I felt that this alley was terrifyingly deep, and no matter how I tried, I could not find my way out. So, I turned my head and pushed him hard, only to be pinned against the wall by him. The moonlight spilled onto his face, and as I looked closely at a man's face from such a distance, I could only feel that his eyes, shrouded in shadow, were so deep that they made me hesitant to look.

"I returned last year and have been reading at night." I replied absentmindedly, and from a distance, I saw a small official hurriedly approaching with several soldiers, his face unable to conceal his joy and pride. My father and I exchanged a glance, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead

The Death of the Black Cat

Mother, though somewhat embarrassed, did not dare to neglect the guests, serving them fine tea and water. Qin Shiyue was convinced by the hypocritical invitation to stay longer, truly sitting for a while more. I sat opposite him, feeling neither able to rush him nor scold him, listening uncomfortably to the family's inquiries. It was not until the clock in the hall struck twelve that he finally stood up to take his leave, and a heavy stone in my heart was finally set down.

I had no time to stop her; Yue Xiaoman, fearing that she would implicate others, had already stepped out of the group on her own. Many girls immediately scattered, and this scene sent a chill through my heart

I do not know why, but my father's expression seemed a bit distracted; he merely gave me a few hasty instructions before letting me go back upstairs to rest. As I passed by Tao Tao's room, I saw a bright eye peeking through the crack of her door

The second concubine felt somewhat annoyed at being caught in her words, yet she still smiled and said: "Third sister, I am not like you. Although you are merely the daughter of a tailor and I have married into a more prominent family, my family background is nonetheless respectable. Unlike me, who is so unfortunate; to put it nicely, I am a film star, but to put it bluntly, I am just an actress. I only have one son, Xiao Feng, and I am counting on him to bring glory to our family"

The squad leader rudely ordered someone to hold Yue Xiaoman's arm. I walked over and slapped each of them once, immediately extinguishing their arrogance. I sneered and said, "You should consider your own worth; if your hands dare to touch even a single strand of her hair, I will make sure you regret it."

Is it you? In that moment, Qin Shiyue's face relaxed its vigilance, and I clutched his collar like a lifeline, staring intently at the ghostly figures around us. By the light of the flashlight, those ghostly figures were clearly the dirty, curious faces of children.

I enjoy riding in a horse-drawn carriage, so my father hired a craftsman to build a carriage that is quite exquisite and twice the size of a regular one. When there are many people around, the two chestnut horses slow their pace, fearing they might bump into someone. The vendors who have set up their stalls too close to the edge were just about to pack up their goods to prevent the beast from charging through recklessly, but seeing the situation, their movements slowed down again

Did you really go on a blind date with Yu Ziyang from the opposite Jingde High School this weekend

In this chaotic world, nothing seems to be peaceful. Father sighed, "Do you remember the incident a few days ago near the Night Heart Girls' School where a revolutionary was killed? That revolutionary died in an alley, and beside him was a national language textbook stamped with the seal of the Night Heart Girls' School. If he were merely a revolutionary, it would be one thing, but the worst part is that he possessed secret intelligence needed by Colonel Lu. However, that intelligence was not found on the body; it must be with the last person who saw him. If he were merely a revolutionary, it would be one thing, but the worst part is that he possessed secret intelligence needed by Colonel Lu. However, that intelligence was not found on the body; it must be with the last person who saw him. Now Colonel Lu has already issued a statement: if I cannot identify the owner of this textbook, he will order a search of the school.

The schoolmaster examined her from head to toe, nodding in satisfaction, and a hint of a smile appeared on his shadowy face: "I have long heard that Brother Ye has a daughter as beautiful as a flower, but unfortunately, the eldest young lady is already promised to someone else, and the second young lady is studying abroad. I wonder when the esteemed niece returned from overseas?"

I let out a huge sigh of relief, feeling as though all my strength had been completely drained during those few minutes. I sat down along the wall, patting my chest to calm my nerves.

Hmph! The second concubine was so angry that her face turned the color of pig liver, yet she did not dare to retort and went upstairs

Teacher Qin, could you please show some respect? Who said I came here with you? I concealed my guilty expression, as he is a spy for the Kuomintang. If he were to discover that I had seen through his identity, he might become furious and resort to murder to silence me

Most of us got separated from our parents during the escape, and a few were trafficked by human smugglers. This is the only place we can take refuge, so when someone accidentally intrudes, we pretend to be ghosts to scare them away

Suddenly, gunshots rang out in the air, causing the people and street vendors to pause momentarily before they began to pack up their belongings. Women ran down the street with their frightened, crying children, while the shops hurried to close their doors. In an instant, the street was thrown into chaos, with people fleeing towards areas devoid of gunfire

Yes, yes, Miss Ye Er has taught us a lesson, and we know what to do now

You have not participated in ancestor worship for ten years; it is advisable to go alone this time to avoid any displeasure from your ancestors

Furthermore, tomorrow morning the driver will take you to the countryside to pay respects to your ancestors, so you will not need to attend class.

The health check is for the sisters at the Night Heart Girls' School.

"Bingqing?" Dad's expression momentarily turned awkward, but soon after, he put on a smile and introduced the gentleman: "Come, Bingqing, let me introduce you. This is Uncle Lu, and this is my second daughter, Ye Bingqing."

"Uncle Lu, I believe you have misunderstood. Yue Xiaoman is my good friend; this is not her handwriting. She must have found it somewhere and carelessly tucked it into her book. Uncle Lu is a person of great integrity; do not let this small matter disrupt our harmony." I nearly exhausted my smile, but that fat man not only remained noncommittal but also wore a forced smile, saying: "My dear niece, you are mistaken. Today's female students are nothing like the obedient women of the past. Just look at this Yue Xiaoman; why would she keep such things? My dear niece is a good girl with simple thoughts, but if this Yue Xiaoman is indeed not the author of this handwriting as you say, then she must have accomplices! Rest assured, Uncle Lu will not make things difficult for your good friend. She will be well treated in the residence, as long as she reveals the identity of the person who wrote this reverse text, she will be allowed to return."

The chance encounter of Miss Ye Er

However, does not the idea of overthrowing the national governance push the people into the depths of water and fire

Bingqing, please pay attention to whether any female classmates have lost their Chinese literature textbooks.

"It was quite dangerous just now; those officials might mistake you for that person's accomplice." This voice was pleasant and familiar. I turned my head to see the face of my savior and was taken aback to find it was Qin Shiyue.

The magnolia flower is both pure white and fragrant, making it a perfect match for the young lady. Would the young lady like to take a whiff? The enthusiastic flower-selling girl did not wait for my refusal and had already brought the flower to my nose. The flower was indeed fragrant, but the scent was rather overwhelming, making one feel drowsy. I shook my head vigorously, but the sweet smile of the flower-selling girl was too strange. By the time I slightly regained my senses and attempted to push the white magnolia flower away, it was already too late; I felt my eyelids growing heavy, and a sound seemed to come from the horizon, growing fainter and fainter.

By the time I slightly regained my senses and attempted to push the white magnolia flower away, it was already too late; I felt my eyelids growing heavy, and a sound seemed to come from the horizon, growing fainter and fainter.

Those lower-ranking soldiers did not dare to be negligent. When the vehicle arrived at the school, I got out and saw my father from a distance, accompanied by a corpulent old man, his military uniform tightly wrapped around his large body like a walking meat dumpling. Students gathered on the playground, and the soldiers, holding their rifles, surrounded them. They had never witnessed such a scene, and all turned pale with fear.

Driver Xiao Chen said: "This Master Ye's daughter is studying at night."

Fortunately, this pair of younger siblings has a simple character, so it is not surprising to have an additional older sister. They spend their days pestering me with trivial questions about what blue-eyed, blonde-haired foreigners eat and drink

The third concubine was carefully handling the embroidery needle in her hand, and she could faintly hear the complaints in the second concubine's voice, which made her unable to help but interject with a smile: "Second sister, Bingqing was seriously ill when she was young and almost lost her life. The master sent her abroad for treatment, and she also studied abroad before returning, just like a treasure that was lost and then found again. You are being overly jealous for no reason."

In recent days, the Bund in Shanghai has been quite unsettled; it is either the Green Gang causing disturbances or news of the Japanese making aggressive moves to invade. The incident of a gunfight occurring at the entrance of the nightclub has made my father feel that the situation is serious, thus he decided to personally escort me to and from school. The second concubine is the most talkative; after dinner, she began to nag my mother: "Alas, look, the master treats Bingqing differently. Although our Xiaofeng is the only son of the Ye family, I have never seen the master pamper him like a precious treasure."

"What does it matter that I married into their family? They are not interested in me. Yu Ziyang is quite refined in appearance, and your father, that old-fashioned teacher, must be furious that the son-in-law he values is being taken away by someone else. " I was too busy joking with Yue Xiaoman until the class bell rang, and then I hurried to the classroom. I suddenly remembered that last Friday, Principal Wang mentioned that Teacher Qin from Jingde High School across the street would come to give a lecture next Monday, and he hoped that the students would pay attention to their demeanor and leave a good impression on the teacher.

It seemed that a group of dark figures was moving towards me, and the pale moonlight filtering into the alley reminded me of the scenes from the Great Yokai Parade. I was so frightened that I nearly lost my breath, and with a scream, I turned to run back.

The car took a detour halfway and headed towards the girls' school at night. Driver Xiao Chen, despite his immense reluctance, knew he could not oppose the authority of the higher-ups; if the second young lady truly got angry and jumped out of the car, even ten heads would not suffice to pay for it. This school road was indeed under the control of a high-ranking official, who had surrounded the school with troops, and before the car could reach the school gate, it was stopped.

Oh, good

"Second sister, what does 'search school' mean?"

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the night heart lady's residence. The coachman had not yet had the chance to bend down and let me step on his back to get down, when I had already jumped down from the carriage, which was more than half a meter high, and rushed towards the school. The white dress billowed in the wind: "Uncle Zhao, you can go back now—" Uncle Zhao could only call out, "Miss, please be careful running," and his face, lined with wrinkles, reflected not only concern but also a sense of helplessness towards this mischievous second young lady. Uncle Zhao had watched me grow up; he and his wife had only one son who also worked for the Ye family, but in their old age, with no daughters, they always felt that a son was not as close as a daughter.

Tengu

The moon of the Qin Dynasty curled its lips in a mocking smile: "While others flee at the sound of gunfire, you walk towards the chaos. If it weren't for the trail of blood leading to the alley, I truly would not have found you"

As the lights began to glow, I hailed a rickshaw and leisurely followed behind Qin Shiyue, only to see him turn into a dilapidated alley. I hurriedly followed him in, but he had already vanished from sight. The alley was devoid of any light or fire, and the further I walked, the quieter it became, as if the alley had no beginning or end, swallowing people whole. My heart began to race; although I practiced Christianity abroad, I realized at that moment that God could not save me.

A man in military uniform came in the evening, and he said that he would search the school tomorrow. After he left, my father broke a teacup. Tao Tao widened her eyes in terror and asked, "Second sister, what exactly is a school search?"

"The school inspection is to check the health of the older sisters at the night school." I patted her face, and only then did the little girl feel relieved and obediently burrow into the quilt. It turns out that tomorrow is the day for the school inspection on the road, no wonder Dad had to come up with such a clumsy excuse to send me away, he was afraid that my progressive ideas would cause him trouble again

Ignoring Uncle Zhao's calls, I recklessly dashed towards the school, until I found Yue Xiaoman, who was reciting from her English textbook on the swing set. I couldn't help but burst into laughter. She playfully scolded me, tapping my head with her book: "Silly girl, what are you laughing at again?"

Qin Shiyue smiled at me and said, "So that's how it is. Then I invite Classmate Ye to stand in their seat and listen to this class until the end."

The second concubine spat out the sunflower seed shells and said: "I tell you, my lord, this young lady who has returned from abroad is truly different. It's one thing to go out with a man in the dead of night, but to bring him home as well? If anything scandalous happens and tarnishes the family reputation, don't blame me, as the second mother, for not giving a warning."

My father and I first went to settle everything at Yue Xiaoman's house. Her old-fashioned father seemed to have gone mad; at one moment he cursed his daughter as a jinx, at another he claimed that the incident occurred at school and that the school should be held responsible, and then he was crying and kneeling, begging my father to save Xiaoman. I used to think that Yue Xiaoman's father would only have a stern face, but it turns out that every father has a side that ordinary people cannot see when it comes to their own children

The ghostly shadows of the midnight alley

"Guai Taotao, who did you hear that from?" I frowned

To be honest, I feel somewhat like a stranger in this family. My parents' affection has indeed been a bit excessive, as I am their daughter whom they had not seen for ten years, only returning to Shanghai last year. During these ten years, I have wanted to come back more than once, but China was not peaceful, with wars raging everywhere. While others were busy avoiding the calamities of war, I was eager to return home, but had to give up due to my father's strong opposition.

During the Qin Dynasty, I still went to the Night Heart Girls' School to teach every day, and I wore my dress. At first, he always found it displeasing, but over time he got used to it. His daily routine was quite simple; apart from moving between the Night Heart Girls' School and Jingde High School, he would return to his apartment, and occasionally go to watch a movie or invite a few friends to the dance hall to pass the time

The school has regulations that require students to wear school uniforms to class. Why is it that all the other students comply with the regulations, yet you do not?

Second sister, although the status of women is not on par with that of men, yet Yujie is about to marry the young and talented Lieutenant Du. The master said that this Lieutenant Du is a rare talent. By marrying him, will it not also bring glory to the family?

I gave Yue Xiaoman a reassuring glance and returned to say to Uncle Lu, "Then I will entrust her to you, Uncle Lu. I will visit her at the residence whenever I can"

Are you following me

"Alright, Dad, stop talking. Now that things have come to this, we should think about how to rescue Xiaoman." I turned my head away in frustration. Through the car's window, I caught a glimpse of Qin Shiyue's figure passing by. I quickly instructed the driver, Xiao Chen, to stop the car and told my father that I had run into an acquaintance and asked him to head home.

Dad, I understand

"Miss, would you like to buy some flowers?" On the steps in front of me were a pair of black-trimmed cloth shoes. I looked up and saw a girl about my age, with a shiny long braid, wearing a white top with red flowers.

He glanced at the squad leader beside him and said, "Why haven't you found and taken away that person named Yue Xiaoman yet?"

The army began to withdraw from the school, and the students from the boys' school across the street finally gathered around, eager to join in the excitement. I could only blame myself for being careless and causing harm to Xiaoman. In the distance, a figure seemed to be trailing behind the group, moving at a leisurely pace. That slender figure was quite familiar, yet I couldn't recall where I had seen it before

A beam of light shines on my face, and I imagine that at this moment my face must be more ghastly pale than the moonlight, my eyes hoping to see something through that light that brings me peace of mind

Please wait, this student

Thank you

right black cat

On the way back, I remained silent while my father kept murmuring in my ear: "Bingqing, you have really caused a big trouble this time. There is always a reason for sending you out. The road commander has been looking for a daughter-in-law for his pompous son all along. The reason I hastily promised your sister to Lieutenant Du is that the road commander came to our house to propose. I said I had already promised her to someone else, and it was still the son of Major General Du. Only then did he relent.

My heart skipped a beat, and I frowned as I walked towards the direction of the gunfire. Although I had been studying in the night school for half a year, I still found the surrounding environment quite unfamiliar. I entered a desolate alley and walked straight ahead, but soon found myself at a dead end. I stomped my foot and turned back, only to find a person blocking the center of the alley. The person was wearing a tattered, oil-stained white coat, which was already soaked in blood, and he collapsed while clutching his chest. Without having time to think, I rushed over and asked, "Are you alright?" Recently, I had heard that revolutionaries were being hunted down, and perhaps I had indeed encountered one.

The handbag was still sitting well in the corner of the wall. I picked it up and examined it carefully. Just as I was about to give up, I discovered a thin bamboo stick inside the handbag, which was hollowed out in the center and contained a small ball of paper.

I turned my head to see Qin Shiyue distributing a large bag of pastries to the children. Watching the way the children devoured the food, my earlier feelings of slight aversion towards him diminished significantly. This left me feeling particularly vexed, so I stuffed all the silver coins I had into the child's hands, instructing him to buy some edible items, and then I turned and left.

Yue Xiaoman concealed a reverse text

Qin Shi Yue, with his thin lips pressed together, pointed at Uncle Zhao, who was anxiously looking towards the school gate in the distance, and said: "The Ye family's carriage has arrived. You should go home early; you have classes tomorrow. As long as you abide by the school's regulations, that will be enough to repay me." After saying this, he elegantly tidied his messy hair and walked out. I stood there in a daze for a while, as the afterglow of the setting sun illuminated his light gray suit. His steps were both light and swift, as if the place he was heading to was a paradise that inspired longing.

If I were to make up a random excuse, it would surely be unconvincing; however, I absolutely cannot die without understanding at the hands of such a person. Perhaps it was his face being too close to mine, the ebb and flow of his breath stirring my hair. That piercing gaze also encouraged me, and without the slightest hesitation, I fiercely kissed those two thin lips.

I gently tugged at my father's sleeve, deciding to act obediently: "Dad, please don't be angry, it's all my fault. I've been abroad for so long, and I've learned the manners of foreigners. If you find it unacceptable, I will change, to avoid any gossip that might upset you." Upon hearing this, my father's expression softened as he patted my hand and said: "I can accept it, I can accept it. I, Ye Guangrong, have seen the world; how could I let such trivial matters distress my daughter? Besides, when a man comes of age, he should marry, and when a woman comes of age, she should marry as well. That Mr. Qin is quite a talented young man; it's not bad to have appropriate interactions."

Having disembarked, Qin Shiyue's figure has already vanished from sight. Before me stands an office of the Kuomintang government, and I am uncertain whether he has gone to report some intelligence. I helplessly sit on the steps opposite, fully aware that Qin Shiyue is a spy within the revolutionary party. However, how can I establish contact with the individual codenamed "Tian Gou"? If I recklessly inquire around, I might very well raise their suspicions.

My residence is always at your service, eagerly awaiting the esteemed visit of my dear niece.

"Why are you following me?" Qin Shiyue must have learned the art of face-changing, otherwise, no ordinary person could withstand the sudden shift from frivolity to earnestness.

When father returned, it was already very late. I was doing my homework downstairs when I heard the butler opening the large iron gate. Then I saw father's furrowed brows. Upon noticing this, the third concubine took her pair of children upstairs to sleep. Mother instructed the servants to brew a cup of Biluochun tea and present it to him: "Sir, what has happened to trouble you so much? Please have a sip of tea first"

This magnolia flower, both pure white and fragrant, is most suitable for the young lady

Since we met Uncle Qin, life has been much better for us; at least we haven't gone hungry, suffered from the cold, or lost anyone to illness.

It is the carriage of the second young lady of the Ye family

Ye Bingqing

I am Zhang Shun, the captain of the four small teams

The dawn sky is a tranquil shade of gray-blue, yet the streets beneath it come alive with activity. Vegetable stalls, rickshaws weaving back and forth, and the surrounding fabric shops and pastry shops have all hung out their signs. At the entrance of the girls' school, a few students dressed in blue jackets, black skirts, and white socks stroll in. The chaotic sound of footsteps gradually disrupts the initial tranquility, and the calls of vendors grow louder. The first ray of morning sunlight slants onto a horse-drawn carriage approaching from a distance.

"Shut up!" Father slammed the table fiercely: "You go back upstairs, my daughter is not in need of your filthy lessons here!"

Let go of me

What is your name

When Yue Xiaoman and I arrived at the classroom, Teacher Qin was already standing at the podium. Upon seeing two people rush in clumsily, Principal Wang was about to get angry, but upon noticing it was me who entered breathlessly, he forcibly suppressed his anger and replaced it with a calm voice: "Students, please return to your seats."

The man in front of me is wading through this murky water to save a student he doesn't particularly like, and I can't help but admire him a bit. So I stood up and brushed the dust off my skirt: "Teacher Qin, in gratitude for your life-saving grace, I will host a banquet for you at my home tonight, please come—"

In the hall downstairs, the second concubine's temper was about to flare up. The second concubine's fifteen-year-old son, Xiaofeng, and the third concubine's six-year-old daughter, Taotao, both dared not make a sound due to this inexplicable conflict. My sister, Ye Yujie, walked over, wrapped her arms around the second concubine's neck, and chuckled: "Aunt Yun, your skin is so smooth, don't let it wrinkle from anger! I didn't get to watch the movie you starred in carefully last time, could you lend it to me again?"

These children live in this filthy, dilapidated house in a deep alley, where there is a dim yellow oil lamp. Twenty to thirty children huddle together on a worn-out mattress, cooking some dirty vegetable leaves scavenged from the garbage when they are hungry, and eating leftover food.

The second aunt usually has no other hobbies, except for boasting about the few movies she has acted in whenever she meets someone. When she encounters someone who likes those two films, she forgets all her troubles and happily follows Yu Jie upstairs. It is not until her figure disappears at the staircase that my mother sighs and says, "Ling Yue, you know A Yun's temperament; she is completely a person who gets carried away. Ignoring her will only make her feel foolish, and it will pass."

Hello, Uncle Lu. It is unwise to offend this commander, so I approached him obediently and offered a small bow.

I quietly stuck my tongue out at the nervous Yue Xiaoman, and this small gesture happened to catch the man's eye on the podium

Dad—my tone reveals an unmistakable sense of urgency and frustration

Yue Xiaoman's face immediately turned as red as a ripe cherry, as she awkwardly twisted the corner of the book with her hand and said, "Well, it was arranged by his parents and my parents. I only focused on my Song poetry and didn't even glance at him."

The Yu family, known for their silk business on the Bund in Shanghai, sent many bolts of silk during the year-end period. My mother, Aunt Yun, and Aunt Ling smiled so broadly that even a whole jar of powder could not conceal the wrinkles on their faces

The shadows of ghosts behind me multiplied, and I could only feel my legs go weak as I slumped down along the wall.

"Save me..." The man's voice was very weak. I tried to help him up, but he was covered in blood. As soon as we stepped out of the alley, his pursuers would discover him. The gunfire echoed, sometimes distant, sometimes near. Just as I hesitated about what to do, a look of relief appeared on the man's face, and after a couple of kicks, he breathed his last. The situation before me unfolded almost instantaneously, and I was immediately dumbfounded. The gunfire seemed to suddenly grow closer, and I could hear the chaotic sound of hooves and footsteps.

While waiting for Uncle Zhao's carriage at the school gate, I kept thinking that Qin Shiyue is truly special. Although my legs ached terribly from standing all morning, I did not feel any dislike for him at all. He is merely around twenty-two or twenty-three years old, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes. The female students, who have had little contact with men, have never seen such a handsome man, and each of their faces seemed to be painted with rouge. His voice when reciting poetry is also extremely pleasant, and he never sways his head, making him very easy on the eyes.

What is your name

Principal Wang took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his brow, fearing that he might offend me, as Chairman Ye would not let him off easily. He quickly stood up to smooth things over: "Teacher Qin, you see, Mr. Ye Guangrong, the father of student Ye, is one of our school's sponsors, and this..."

The boys from the male school across the way whistled over here without a care for their lives, and the female students scattered like birds, leaving only me standing there in a daze

Where are your parents

This teacher is not here with good intentions; she should be like the other teachers, nitpicking at me from the very beginning. However, upon hearing that I am Ye Guangrong's daughter, she immediately becomes submissive. Such hypocritical behavior is rather infuriating. I raised my chin and smiled slyly: "I do not like the school uniform; it is too ugly. I prefer to wear dresses, and I do not like braids. No one has ever forced me to do what I do not like."

Peach, why are you still not asleep? I carried her back to bed and settled her down

Someone grabbed my hand, and before I had the chance to see who was in front of me, he quickly pulled me out of the alley. Two individuals hiding around the corner saw several riders on tall horses following the bloodstains on the ground into the alley. Before long, they dragged the corpse out. The officer cursed and ordered his men to tie the corpse's feet and secure it to the horse, dragging the body away, leaving behind a long and wide trail of blood.

Ah? I turned back uncertainly, and I was startled by the so-called Teacher Qin I had just seen. The so-called teachers are mostly middle-aged or older, speaking in an archaic manner, but the teacher in front of me was so young that it was hard to believe
