The final exams passed very quickly and there was an interlude in the middle— a photo of Director Xu’s bald head was posted on the school forum. Some people posted various versions of the watermelon rinds as hats on the top of his head, making a series of stickers. Even Su Yuanzhou’s anecdote of slapping Director Xu’s wig off was spread throughout Experimental School 2.
Director Xu specifically expressed his love for Su Yuanzhou. Every day before the exams, he would ask said student to sit next to him in the self-study class and even personally urging him to study. The Director implied that he only had good intentions. After all, if he had the time to cause a ruckus in other classes during revision hours, surely he had his study materials pat down. If he were to come in last place again for this test, he would have to go to his office and be under his supervision for every upcoming self-study period.
Anyways, summer vacation was approaching after their exams. This time, the school arranged a small activity for the summer vacation the week after exams. It slightly resembled a spring outing, but this time, their destination was the beach.
As to why it was arranged before the announcement of the academic results, it was probably done so to ensure that everyone could have a good time.
Su Qiuge was familiar with that particular bay and also did some Internet research on the hotel that the school had booked for them.
The students were all waiting for the bus in the field as they excitedly discussed what they had prepared for this trip.
“What brand of sunscreen do you have? Is it legit?”
“I went there to play last time, tsk tsk tsk. Beach volleyball, huh... let me tell you how to look and what to expect...”
“What style of swimsuits did you buy... Will this be too revealing?”
“Ahhhh, I’d love to see beautiful women on the beach!!”
“I want to eat spicy crayfish, stir-fried scallops with garlic, salt-baked prawns, halal crabs... There should be a lot of seafood there, so let’s sneak out.”
Before that, Su Qiuge had also met Lin Luoyu in the corridor. When Lin Luoyu saw her, her face took on a ghostly expression as she panicked and walked away.
She no longer possessed the calmness and gentleness that she used to have. On the contrary, she appeared to be haggard and panicked, as if she had been mentally tortured for a long time.
This made Su Qiuge, who originally wanted to settle accounts with her, bewildered.
By the time Su Qiuge reacted to the situation, she went to the Internet to find the incomplete version of the recording. After listening to it, she realized that Xie Xinglin must have done something or pulled some strings. However, he didn’t tell her anything about it, probably not wanting her to know.
Hence, she didn’t ask.
Perhaps she would be required to provide her testimony in the future. Although Yang Xue was busy, her secretary would most definitely have everything under control.
Yang Xue’s attitude towards this matter was quite resolute, but she was too calm in facing the storm.
She merely inquired about the situation in general, probably to get information and reflect on the situation.
But not a single word of extra concern was said.
Su Qiuge was accustomed to it, anyway. Besides, when she remembered the dream she had before, Su Qiuge naturally didn’t get too disappointed.
Just as she was still on that train of thought, the engine of the bus was soon going to be ignited as the sounds of laughter and excitement from the students outside pulled her from her daydream.
At this time, they were supposed to get onto the bus following the order of the class. Nevertheless, due to the large number of students in a certain class, some students would have to squeeze in with the other classes.
