90s: You are all reborn, who will spoil you?

The two sat on the side of the road, breathing silently.

A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness, but it also blew away the fear and anxiety in the little fat girl's heart.

After a while, the little fat girl's mood gradually stabilized.

She lowered her head and clasped her hands tightly together, as if recalling the past that she didn't want to mention.

"Xie Yan, actually... they've never really liked me." The little chubby girl spoke in a low voice, as if she was afraid of being overheard. "Maybe it's because I'm too fat, or maybe it's because my grades aren't that good. Anyway, they always pick on me."

Xie Yan frowned, a sense of inexplicable anger welling up in her heart: "Haha, are they saying they don't like you?"

The chubby girl gave a bitter smile. "Yes, at first, I thought they would let me go if I just held back. But I didn't expect them to go even further. What happened today is just the tip of the iceberg..."

Xie Yan's heart sank. She didn't expect that the little fat girl had been living under such a shadow.

Then she realized that she had also lived under the same shadow in the past.

She gently held the little fat girl's hand: "Don't be afraid, from now on, I won't let you face this alone."

The chubby girl raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes, but more of it was gratitude and hope: "Really? Xie Yan, are you really willing to help me?"

Xie Yan nodded firmly: "Of course, we are friends, aren't we? Friends should support each other and face difficulties together."

The two smiled at each other. At this moment, all their fears and anxieties were dissolved by this deep friendship.

"By the way, why did they suddenly attack you today?" Xie Yan remembered the previous question and asked with concern.

The chubby girl's expression became a little complicated. "Actually, I don't know either. Maybe it's because I wore the same clothes as Yang Shuang today, so she got very angry and brought people to cause trouble for me."

Xie Yan frowned: "Just because of this? This is too much!"

The little fat girl shook her head helplessly: "They are just like that, always relying on their numbers to bully others at will."

Xie Yan took a deep breath and made up her mind: "I'll go talk to the teacher later!"

The chubby girl suddenly grabbed her hand, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes: "Xie Yan, it's useless. I've told the teacher before, but the teacher ignored me."

"How could this happen?" Xie Yan looked at the chubby girl in surprise.

The chubby girl lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I heard... I heard that our homeroom teacher, Teacher Zhou, accepted a gift from Director Yang, so she's always favoring Yang Shuang."

Xie Yan's eyes widened. She couldn't believe her ears. It seemed as if she had accidentally discovered the reason why her homeroom teacher had turned a blind eye and deaf ear to all the bullying she had endured since she was a child. "How...how is this possible? How could a teacher do this?"

The chubby girl smiled bitterly: "But that's the truth. I saw Teacher Zhou accept the gift from Yang Shuang before."

Xie Yan felt a strong sense of anger and injustice in her heart. In her previous life, she did not give a gift to her daughter's kindergarten teacher, and her daughter was isolated in the kindergarten.

She hated teachers who accepted bribes and aided evil the most. They did not deserve to be called teachers.

"But I won't let her do whatever she wants. They're going too far. She's just the daughter of a middle-level manager at a local company, and she's so arrogant?"

The little fat girl sighed: "What else can we do? We can't beat them."

Xie Yan looked at her firmly: "No, we can't give up like this. There will always be a way!"

The chubby girl looked at Xie Yan's determined eyes, and a glimmer of hope surged in her heart: "Then...then what are you going to do?"

Xie Yan thought for a moment, then said, "You said Teacher Zhou accepted a gift. Do you have any evidence?" Little Head: "As long as we explain the matter clearly, I believe the Education Bureau will definitely take care of it."

A complicated look appeared on the chubby girl's face. She lowered her head and was silent for a while, as if recalling the scene that left her with lingering fear.

Then, she slowly raised her head, with a trembling voice, and told Xie Yan the detailed scene of Teacher Zhou taking bribes that she had witnessed with her own eyes.

"That day, after school, I stayed behind to clean, so I left late. As I was about to leave the classroom, I saw Teacher Zhou and Yang Shuang talking at the end of the corridor. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just a normal teacher-student conversation. However, when I walked closer, I overheard what they were talking about."

The little fat girl's eyes became a little blurry, as if she had returned to that unforgettable moment.

"Teacher Zhou said to Yang Shuang, 'I really like the gift your father gave me. Thank you and your father for your kindness.' Then Yang Shuang smiled happily and said, 'As long as Teacher Zhou likes it, my father will give you more good things in the future.' Teacher Zhou just smiled and said nothing."

At this point, the little girl's eyes were slightly red. She took a deep breath and continued, "When I heard this, I was very scared. I knew it was wrong."

In the next few minutes, Xie Yan and the fat girl recalled and sorted out the evidence and details about Teacher Zhou's bribery and Yang Shuang and others bullying students.

It was not until the bell rang that the two returned to the classroom hand in hand.

The moment I walked into the classroom, the atmosphere seemed more solemn than usual.

The classmates' whispers fell silent the moment the two stepped through the threshold, and all eyes focused on them with a bit of curiosity and speculation.

The head teacher, Mr. Zhou, was standing on the podium, organizing the lesson plans with his head down. He didn't seem to notice their return, but his furrowed brow and the worried look he occasionally looked up at the window revealed his inner restlessness.

The chubby girl and Xie Yan exchanged a firm look, as if silently encouraging each other, and then returned to their seats.

Not long after they sat down, Teacher Zhou finally withdrew his gaze from the window and fell on them, with a hint of imperceptible impatience flashing in his eyes.

"Classmates, before class begins, I want to say a few words." Teacher Zhou's voice echoed through the classroom, and he paused. "Lately, there's been some people in our class who, like rat shit spoiling the whole pot of soup, haven't been studying properly. They've been forming gangs and getting into fights all day long. If I find out about them, I'll just treat them to stir-fried pork and bamboo shoots."

Having said that, Teacher Zhou's gaze swept over the little fat girl and Xie Yan again. This time, there was a bit more sarcasm and contempt in his eyes.
