Collapse, but Stand users

Chapter 50 2th Simulation

The next day at school, Mei walked to her seat and looked at the insulting words on the desk, feeling very upset.

"Caw! How could this be? How could this be! Who did this? Step forward if you dare!"

Seeing Mei's distressed appearance, Kiana was furious and wanted to find out who was behind it, but the students in the class remained silent, only looking at the two of them with mockery.

"You still dare to come to school? You're shameless."

"If the father is in jail, the daughter can't be doing much better."

"Hey, my pen went missing yesterday, could she have stolen it?"

"Haha, keep your voice down, don't let our Thunder Queen hear you."

The crowd was relentlessly slandering Mei, and Kiana couldn't stand it anymore. She rolled up her sleeves, ready to reason with them.

Mei pulled Kiana along and shook her head.

"It's alright, Kiana, don't worry about them."

"But they..."

"You'll be punished for using your hands, Kiana. I still want to go to school with you."

"Okay, then I'll do as Mei says."

Kiana sat down next to Mei, glaring fiercely at everyone.

……

"Oh dear, teacher, you have to stand up for Mei! Mei didn't do anything wrong!"

During lunch break, Kiana brought Mei to He Chengrui's office, where they ate lunch and complained to each other.

"There are always some people who like to elevate themselves by belittling others; this is very common in the Far East."

"There will be gossip all day long, but if you don't listen, it will disappear."

Kiana ignored He Chengrui's long-winded explanation and asked him another question.

"I understand the reasoning, but doesn't the teacher have any solutions?"

'Solution? Just take out Cocolia and then clear Raiden Ryoma's name.'

That's what he thought, but He Chengrui shook his head.

"I will try my best to help. You can come here to rest when you can't take it anymore."

As he spoke, He Chengrui handed Mei the spare key to the office.

Mei, holding the key, bowed solemnly to He Chengrui.

"Thank you, teacher."

He Chengrui habitually reached out and patted Mei's head.

Mei felt the warmth of the large hand on her head and was momentarily stunned. It was He Chengrui who sensed something was wrong and withdrew his hand.

He Chengrui was somewhat embarrassed and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Ahem, class is about to start, you guys should go back now, or you'll be late."

"See you later, teacher." Mei seemed much happier than when she arrived, and she pulled Kiana outside.

After the two left, He Chengrui checked the time on the simulator panel again.

"The simulation is tomorrow night at 10 PM."

'The simulation ended the next morning.'

'Then let's postpone the simulation until 11 o'clock.'

Having planned his time, He Chengrui picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

Summers in the Far East are unbearably hot, and the cicadas in the trees protest with their chirping.

The air conditioner in the office was blowing loudly, which woke He Chengrui up from his sleepiness.

'I don't have classes this afternoon anyway, I'll take a nap.'

……

"Dong dong dong."

"Boom boom boom!"

The constant knocking woke He Chengrui up.

Although he was very unhappy, He Chengrui still forced a smile.

"Hey, the door's unlocked."

Hearing this, the people outside pushed open the door and came in. The one in the lead was the person who had been isolating Mei.

"Hey, teacher, aren't you being a little biased towards Raiden Mei?"

"Although I like you quite a bit, I'm still warning you: don't get involved in Raiden Mei's affairs."

"Her father is a criminal; she should be careful not to get herself into trouble."

"You don't want to lose your job as a teacher, do you?"

"So, you're threatening me?" He Chengrui stared at the girl in the lead and asked calmly.

"Of course, you can understand it that way."

"So, you went to all that trouble to disturb my rest just to threaten me?"

He Chengrui stood up, his tone tinged with anger.

"If that's the case, then please leave."

"You! I'm going to report you to the principal!"

"You can fabricate whatever charges you want."

"But are you sure you want to disrupt the life I've finally managed to adapt to?"

"This is ridiculous. I guess I'll be fired soon."

"Then I'll take that as you being prepared."

After everyone left, He Chengrui took a sip of tea to calm himself down.

"A person with no manners is not even worth half a Mei."

Mei, who was outside the door, was about to open it when she heard He Chengrui's words and paused for a moment before pushing the door open.

"Teacher, we're here. Will we be disturbing you?"

"No, please sit wherever you like."

After saying that, He Chengrui looked up and saw the undisguised smile on Mei's face. He asked, "What's wrong? Did something good happen? Why are you so happy?"

Mei shook her head and said nothing.

"Hehe, it's definitely fun to be with me, isn't it, Mei?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Mei affectionately patted Kiana's head, but her eyes were fixed on He Chengrui.

……

The next day, the school was closed because some students had gone missing, and some wealthy and powerful families had come to the school to cause trouble.

"No more classes! That's great, Mei, let's go out and play!"

"This……"

Faced with Kiana's invitation, Mei hesitated for a moment, then looked at He Chengrui.

"Going out to relax and have fun will do you good."

"Then, teacher, are you going?"

"It's too hot outside, you guys go ahead, I won't go."

"Then Kiana and I are heading out."

"Okay, be careful on the road, and remember to let me know if you run out of money."

To prevent any accidents, He Chengrui chose to spend this holiday, which he had fought for, at home.

'I only intended to blow their tongues off so they couldn't speak.'

'But that would be too painful. Let's just give them a quick death.'

'I'm really kind.'
