Chapter 126 — Helping Her Out of a Tight Spot - Watching the captain, so full of the air of a student, Yang Huaijun sighed. He had always taken him as his backbone, a godlike being, but now it seemed he was more like an ordinary senior-year high school student.

"I... I'm in Class Nine of the senior year..." Tang Yun kept her head down. She had never told a lie, so when Wang Zhifeng asked, she confessed honestly. In fact, standing at the door of Class Nine, lying would have been useless anyway.
"Go back and write a self-criticism, then read it out in the broadcasting room!" Whether the student had done it on purpose or not, Wang Zhifeng had to make a show of it. Otherwise, what authority would he, the director, have in the future? Would other students think they could throw water on him too?
"The broadcasting room..." Tang Yun's heart lurched. That was where the bad students went to make their self-criticisms... and today it was her turn. At the thought, Tang Yun felt aggrieved. If not for Wei Zhao, why would she have been running? But how was she supposed to explain all that to Director Wang? After all, it was a fact that she had run recklessly. Yet making a self-criticism... for a top student like Tang Yun, it was truly a torment.
From childhood until now, Tang Yun had never written a self-criticism, nor had she ever made any mistake. At the thought, her eyes reddened and she was on the verge of tears. She, a girl, going to the broadcasting room to make a self-criticism...
"Heh, Director Wang, just had a shower? Though your hairstyle is pretty flashy—you look a good deal younger!" Wei Zhao had come out of the restroom just in time to see Tang Yun accidentally throw the water, and he couldn't help laughing to himself. This girl was a bit too careless! Then he saw Wang Zhifeng scolding Tang Yun, and he didn't think much of it—let Wang Zhifeng teach this little spitfire a lesson, so she would stop picking on him for no reason. But when he saw that Tang Yun was about to cry, Wei Zhao couldn't bear it, and so he strode over.
"Ah? Uh..." Wang Zhifeng hadn't expected to run into Wei Zhao at this moment, and since Wei Zhao had praised his hairstyle, true or not, he couldn't very well bring up the matter of Tang Yun throwing water. He could only nod vaguely. "The weather's getting warmer, so a shower cools you down!"
"Oh, I thought you'd just finished exercising, Director!" Wei Zhao chuckled.
"Ha... I was watching the students do their morning exercises, so I just followed along and waved my arms a bit..." Looking at Wei Zhao's somewhat wicked smile, Wang Zhifeng broke into a cold sweat. This kid was indeed no easy mark! He clearly knew all about what happened that day!
"Oh." Wei Zhao nodded, then suddenly turned to look at Tang Yun. "Hey, Tang Yun, you're here... No need to wait for me. Go back to the classroom first. I have a few things to discuss with the director!"
"Huh?" Tang Yun hadn't expected Wei Zhao to be so familiar with Wang Zhifeng, chatting about everyday matters so casually. But then she thought of who he was—a rich young master with deep connections, and of course Wang Zhifeng gave him face. Yet at this moment Tang Yun also understood that Wei Zhao was helping her out of the fix, and her heart felt a little sour. She, a top student, counted for less than the status of Wei Zhao, a spoiled rich boy. She glanced at Wei Zhao, then at Wang Zhifeng...
Wang Zhifeng hadn't expected Wei Zhao to know the girl who had thrown water on him. When the girl raised her head, he finally saw clearly that it was Tang Yun, the school beauty, and he couldn't help smiling bitterly... It seemed there must be something between Wei Zhao and her. No wonder Wei Zhao had hinted at him earlier—it was clearly to make him let Tang Yun off the hook!
Wang Zhifeng was no fool. Wei Zhao had made himself quite clear and had given him a sufficient way out. If he failed to take the hint, Wei Zhao would probably spill the story of his exercising. At the thought, Wang Zhifeng laughed heartily. "Hurry back now. Wei Zhao and I have matters to discuss; in a bit I'll have him come find you!"
