When Xia Wan left the guest house, she looked very somber and seemed to be full of worries.

Lin Chao retrieved Xia Wan’s cloth bag containing silver needles from the security office and handed it to her, then said, “Don’t be too burdened mentally. If you really don’t know how to explain to your family, maybe I can help you come up with an excuse?”

Xia Wan gestured for Lin Chao to be quiet for a while and fell back into deep thought.

After sending Xia Wan home, Lin Chao’s car quickly departed.

Entering her house, Xia Wan ran into Xia Chen.

“Wanwan, you’re finally back! Are you okay?” Xia Chen held Xia Wan’s arms, looking her up and down.

Xia Wan shook her head, tiredly saying, “I’m fine, just very tired. I want to go back to sleep for a while.”

Seeing that Xia Wan indeed seemed very tired, Xia Chen let go of her hands, allowing her to go rest.

As soon as she lay down on the bed, Xia Wan’s phone rang.

Answering the phone, it was Chen Mo’s voice. “Xia Wan, I heard from Officer

Song that you went to the police station today?”

“Are you okay?” Chen Mo’s voice was full of concern, which comforted Xia Wan’s tense mood.

“It’s nothing, I just ran into that troublemaker from last time and had some disputes.” Xia Wan spoke calmly, not going into detail about her experiences of the day.

Listening to Xia Wan’s voice, Chen MO took a while before asking, “Are you very tired?”

“Yes, a little,” Xia Wan replied, her tone flat.

The two of them remained silent, only the sound of their calm breathing heard over the phone.

After a while, Xia Wan spoke again. “Chen MO, what would you do if I suddenly disappeared for a month?”

Chen MO was clearly taken aback, thought for a moment, and then said, “If you have something important to do, I will wait for you.” “But if someone tries to harm you, I will fight them to the end!”

Chen Mo’s voice was serious and firm.

Xia Wan smiled and said, “Thank you.”

They chatted casually for a few more moments before hanging up.

Lying on the bed, Xia Wan looked at the ceiling. “If I have this support, will everything in the future be different?”

Having lived this life anew, she had done everything for her family.

If she really could rely on the military district’s support, she wouldn’t have to worry about her family being bullied anymore, and Xia Chen and Xia Feng could have a better future!

Thinking this, Xia Wan eventually fell asleep.

Liu Hua, thinking it was because of the incident with Brother Fang the day before, showed concern, but seeing Xia Wan still unenthusiastic, didn’t press further, just quietly staying by her side.

The morning passed quietly, with Xia Wan still unable to think of a reasonable excuse to disappear for a month during this critical time before the college entrance exams.

During the lunch break, the atmosphere in the class was strange.

Xia Wan didn’t pay much attention, assuming it was due to the events of the previous day causing discomfort among her classmates.

It wasnt until the afternoon, when Jiang Rong walked into the class with a slightly stern face and called Xia Wan into the office, that Xia Wan found out she had been reported!

Xia Wan couldn’t believe that someone had reported her for associating with bad influences outside school, affecting the good atmosphere of the class and school.

This accusation had Xia Wan reeling for a while.

“Xia Wan, I always thought you were a good student, both academically and morally,” Jiang Rong said with a pained expression, “Come on, tell Teacher Jiang, is there some misunderstanding here?”

“Why would those bad influences outside school target you?”

“Do you have any difficulties that are hard to explain?”

Being wrongfully accused by Brother Fang in front of everyone, with the whole class and everyone on the snack street witnessing it, no matter how Xia Wan explained, it would be hard to claim she didn’t know Brother Fang!

Xia Wan said to Jiang Rong, “I’m not familiar with that Brother Fang. I just couldn’t stand by and watch when I saw him bullying two girls on the snack street once, and that’s why I got into this trouble.”

“The teacher believes you, but because of this incident, the atmosphere in the class is very bad now.”

“So, so…”

Jiang Rong hesitated for a long time, unsure how to broach the subject.

Hearing Jiang Rong’s words, Xia Wan suddenly realized something.. “Teacher Jiang, are you suggesting that I should temporarily stop attending school and

stay at home?”
