The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 96: Expulsion and Disciplinary Record

Black Monday, this Monday was even more torturous for the students in Class One of the Provincial High School’s first year.

Some students who had previously whispered about Wang Miaomiao were anxious and distracted during class.

The homeroom teacher, Xu Zhendong, lost his temper before class and harshly criticized the negative atmosphere within the class.

The morning passed uneventfully. In the afternoon, students were called away one by one; it’s said they went to the Principal’s office. When they came back, they looked pale and refused to say what happened.

During the self-study period at four in the afternoon, the broadcast announced again: A school-wide notice, following investigation and evidence collection, student Lu Xuemei who spread rumors and caused trouble is expelled and withdrawn from school. Student Ren Caihong who believed in rumors and maliciously speculated has been reprimanded. The school is a place for diligent students to learn knowledge and serve the country after academic success. If similar situations happen again, no matter the severity, they will be expelled.

"Sister Miaomiao, that’s great..." Cheng Xue exclaimed with excitement, "Let’s see who dares to spread rumors and cause trouble in the future."

"Mm..." Wang Miaomiao slightly smiled, very satisfied with this outcome, and couldn’t help but be curious about the school principal at Provincial High School.

Her curiosity did not last long before the answer came.

"Miaomiao, Xiao Xue."

After the self-study class, Wang Miaomiao and Cheng Xue were called. Not far away, leaning against a column, stood a man not commonly seen; today, he dressed casually, seemed a bit more laid-back, it was none other than Jiang Yan.

"Uncle, you’re here..." Cheng Xue’s eyes lit up, happily pulling Wang Miaomiao and running towards him.

Jiang Yan smiled slightly, "How could I not come? People have been bullying you. Come, let’s go have dinner..." After speaking, he turned and led the way. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Brother Jiang, where are we going? What about my brother-in-law?" Wang Miaomiao, seeing the direction he was heading was neither to the school cafeteria nor out of the school, felt a bit strange.

"He’s not coming, it’s just a small matter, I can handle it myself. Just follow along, are you afraid I’m going to sell you or something?" Jiang Yan turned back to look at her and saw she maintained her composure well through the storm, not too affected, which made him both relieved and proud. She’s truly the woman he admired, calm and collected, flawless in action.

"Hehe..." Wang Miaomiao chuckled awkwardly, uneasy as she casually played with her hair. His gaze was too intense, making her inexplicably anxious. She didn’t want to ask further, figuring she’d find out soon anyway.

Yet she didn’t want to ask, but he wanted to ask her, "What happened to your hand?"

Jiang Yan stared at the three blood marks on the back of her left hand, his gaze profound and dark.

"Oh, it’s nothing, I got scratched by Lu Xuemei yesterday, I’ve disinfected it, it’ll heal in a few days." Wang Miaomiao looked at her hand nonchalantly; she had deliberately provoked Lu Xuemei to act, solidifying her role as the victim. However, she miscalculated how sharp Lu Xuemei’s nails were; the wounds ended up deeper than expected.

"Sigh, Sister Miaomiao, you can’t be so careless next time." Mentioning this, Cheng Xue felt very guilty for not protecting Wang Miaomiao, "Next time if something like this happens, just give me a signal, I’ll handle it, I’m tough and won’t mind getting hurt."

"What are you saying? I couldn’t possibly let you take the risk." Wang Miaomiao felt deeply touched; Cheng Xue truly was her good friend, "I miscalculated this time, that woman doesn’t know how to trim her nails. Luckily, I was smart and blocked with my hand; otherwise, if she scratched my face, it would have been a disaster. Haha... Don’t worry, I definitely won’t let myself get hurt next time."

"What? You did it intentionally? Is that something to be proud of?" Jiang Yan’s mood darkened, retracting his previous praises for her, thinking what calmness, flawlessness—not at all, she’s just a reckless, bold silly girl.

"Of course." Wang Miaomiao boasted, "In that situation, I had already acted first, pinning her face to the table; she lost all dignity. If she didn’t take action, it would only be my fault then."

Wang Miaomiao waved her hand, despite the minor injury, it was a fair trade, "Three blood marks, exchanged for a victim’s stance, worth it."

"You... seriously a fool." Jiang Yan was infuriated by her and said sternly, "What part is worth it? Isn’t it you who’s hurt and feeling the pain? Next time, don’t act rashly; call me if anything happens, got it?"

Cheng Xue and Wang Miaomiao quickly nodded when they saw him seriously angry, behaving obediently.

Seeing him angry, Wang Miaomiao felt a little scared in her heart, instinctively knowing if she didn’t wisely nod and comply, it wouldn’t end well.

Jiang Yan, seeing them obedient, suppressed his internal dissatisfaction and continued leading them, while thoughts ran through his mind on how to protect her under his wings...

Those three blood marks were truly an eyesore.

Jiang Yan led the way, with the two girls closely following, occasionally sharing knowing glances, sneaking laughs, enjoying their mischievous little exchange.

They crossed two buildings, arriving at the teachers’ dormitory.

"Uncle, are we having dinner at Uncle Huang’s?" Cheng Xue recognized the place, having visited when she was handling enrollment formalities, and knew Huang Zhizhong, appearing stern but actually a kind-hearted uncle.

"Mm." Jiang Yan replied softly.

Listening to their conversation, Wang Miaomiao tried to recall any teacher with the surname Huang but couldn’t come up with anything.

Without waiting for her to figure it out, she was already face-to-face with the main character.

"Lao Jiang, Xiao Xue. Come in..." Huang Zhizhong considerably contrary to Wang Miaomiao’s previous impression of him being stern and rigid, smiled innocently, "Come in, little friend..."

"Uh, thank you, Principal Huang." Wang Miaomiao felt a bit awkward, immediately standing upright; oh, school leadership.

"No need to be so formal, just like Xiao Xue, call me... ouch, what are you doing..." Huang Zhizhong was going to say to call him "Uncle Huang," but got interrupted by a kick from Jiang Yan.

With confusion on Huang Zhizhong’s face, Jiang Yan introduced to Wang Miaomiao, "Miaomiao, this is Huang Zhizhong; he was previously your brother-in-law’s superior officer in the army, serving as an instructor. He has now transitioned to a school principal. Just call him Brother Huang, and if you face any difficulties, come to him for help directly."

Wang Miaomiao understood then, realizing this principal had a red background, knowing Jiang Yan probably meant a significant background.

No wonder the school, under his leadership, had been rectified to its current state with proper academic atmosphere. Wang Miaomiao couldn’t help but admire him.
