The old teacher was a cunning and devious person!
This was the collective reaction of all the spectating students, as everyone would lose five points for skipping the lunch break.
Although Shi Li was present at the scene, her situation was different from the others.
For other students, it was during class time, but for Shi Li, it was holiday time. She could even sing "Conquest" in front of the principal's office, and no one would care.
Because during holiday time, she wasn't bound by class rules.
So while Shi Li, who had led everyone to watch the drama, remained invisible to punishment, others lost five points each for skipping the lunch break, which was equivalent to skipping class.
This made their already poor point totals even worse.
The other students were nearly in tears. Originally, they were supposed to attend school until the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, but now they had five more days of classes.
Not only would they have to make dumplings with classmates in the classroom on New Year's Eve, but they would also need to report to school on the first day of the lunar new year.
Imagine: early on New Year's morning, after receiving New Year's greetings and red envelopes from family members, wearing their new clothes and carrying their small backpacks, they would happily go not for New Year's visits but to school.
Shi Li didn't immediately part ways with her classmates at the duty room. Normally, when witnessing such gossip-worthy events, everyone would discuss what had just happened.
To join in the gossip, Shi Li stayed among the crowd, waiting for after-class discussions.
However, before they could gossip, the old teacher, that point-deducting demon, had already deducted five points from each student's score.
A wave of sighs swept through the classroom. As the only person who wasn't in negative points and had over twenty points to spare, Shi Li didn't dare to speak up.
Even if she wanted to generously offer to cover everyone's point deductions, she couldn't say it.
Shi Li was the class's number one point wealthy student, having accumulated her points through high academic performance.
But today, the total deduction was fifty points, and Shi Li only had about twenty points, clearly not enough to cover everyone.
Unable to treat her classmates to this luxury, Shi Li could only keep quiet.
She felt slightly ashamed, wondering if this situation could have been avoided if she hadn't led everyone to watch the drama.
However, Shi Li wasn't one to dwell on things. Her shame lasted only a moment before she became righteously convinced that [losing five points wasn't a bad deal, at least everyone got to see a once-in-a-century show].
The other students, in their extreme sadness, heard Shi Li's entire internal monologue.
Although Xiao Feiyu knew her brother had lost his life while teaching in rural areas, from what she knew, he died trying to save a little girl.
She couldn't help but think that if she had prevented her brother from going to teach, and no one had gone to save that poor little girl, the person who lost their life would have been the little girl instead of her brother.
While Xiao Feiyu didn't want her brother to die, she also didn't want a little girl to suffer.
So she took out her years of savings and actively approached her brother, expressing her willingness to sponsor children from mountainous regions to visit the city for a couple of days and broaden their horizons.
Her older brother had never thought his sister could be so kind-hearted.
But since she was his sister and wasn't doing anything wrong, he naturally wanted to support her wishes, especially since it wouldn't cost him anything.
As the main sponsor, Xiao Feiyu naturally wanted to oversee how her hard-earned money was being spent.
So she went along too.
Xiao's Sister-in-law was a housewife, and seeing her husband and sister-in-law busy with this project, she also wanted to participate.
Xiao Feiyu didn't like this sister-in-law and didn't want to see her every day, but for her brother's sake, she couldn't openly refuse her.
She only used her nephew as an excuse to tell her to take care of her pregnancy.

Shi Li had once said that her sister-in-law should be pregnant by now, and although that poor child ultimately wasn't born, this was when she was supposed to be pregnant.
Xiao's Sister-in-law had always wanted a child to secure her position in the family, believing that a woman without children had no foundation for stability.
Her period had come recently, so she probably wasn't pregnant.
But seeing her sister-in-law's certainty, she adopted a better-safe-than-sorry approach, buying various pregnancy tests. Hearing that home tests might not be accurate, she also made a special trip to the hospital.
The results were all very clear – she wasn't pregnant.
The doctor told her she was still young and shouldn't rush to have children, advising her not to be too anxious.
But how could Xiao's Sister-in-law not be anxious?
Returning from the hospital, faced with the family's expectant looks, she couldn't help but cry, "Little sister, if you didn't want me to participate in this activity, you could have just said so. Why did you lie about me being pregnant when you know how much I want to have a child?"
The result, of course, was that Xiao Feiyu got scolded by her parents and older brother.
On the plane, Xiao Feiyu couldn't understand – what happened to the child that was supposed to be there?
