Chapter 98 - 099: I’m Afraid (3)
The policewoman’s expression changed unnaturally upon hearing the counselor speak like that.
When Lou Xi thought the policewoman was going to side with the counselor, the lady said, "No matter what this student’s private life is, now that something has happened, as a counselor, you should help her resolve it. My brother also goes to Nan University and always talks about how great your school’s teachers are. Heh..."
The final "heh" from the policewoman landed on the counselor’s face like a resounding slap.
In the end, the counselor took Lou Xi out of the police station. The final decision was to bring Lou Xi back to the school, to stay in her original dormitory for now.
Lou Xi usually didn’t have much contact with the counselor, only meeting at the beginning of school and having the counselor sign the scholarship application form.
So her relationship with the counselor was average, and it was the middle of the night when she had to trouble her to pick her up. The counselor was driving with a sour face the whole way.
Probably because she was living under someone else’s roof, Lou Xi was particularly adept at observing people’s expressions. She could immediately sense when someone disliked her.
"Teacher, I can go back to school by myself." Although still scared inside, Lou Xi didn’t want the counselor to always have a resentful expression when seeing her, so she thought she might as well go back herself.
Unexpectedly, the counselor snorted and said, "If I leave you on the road and something happens to you again in the middle of the night, and we have to go to the police station, do you think I have nothing better to do?"
Lou Xi: "..."
She recalled her middle school teacher, who spoke to her gently. Though not extremely caring, would never speak with such sharpness.
"I didn’t know they would call you and inconvenience you; it’s my fault. If you really feel bothered, just let me out on the roadside now. I’m not insisting you take me to school," Lou Xi couldn’t stand the attitude.
Though she’s living with foster parents, they’ve never shown her any attitude!
Upon hearing Lou Xi’s words, the counselor immediately pulled the car over to the side of the road and said, "I have truly never encountered a student like you! Not studying well is one thing, but talking back to elders! I really don’t know how you got into Nan University! Get out of the car!"
Lou Xi immediately unbuckled her seatbelt, not wanting to stay another second with this person!
Before getting out, Lou Xi turned to look at the female counselor and said, "In all my life, I have never seen a teacher like you! I never asked you to care for me more, but ask yourself honestly, do you truly live up to the title of ’teacher,’ are you worthy of the position of ’Nan University counselor’!"
With that said, Lou Xi got out of the car, closed the door, bowed toward the person in the car, and walked away without looking back.
The counselor’s car remained stationary for a few seconds, then immediately started and drove off.
Lou Xi walked along the road, feeling more and more aggrieved.
When she applied for university admission back in high school, she was determined to choose Nan University, firstly to leave that city, secondly because Nan University was Rong Zhi’s alma mater.
Once she got here, she did start her life, but life was far from as simple as she imagined.
Studying, part-time job, romance... nothing was as easy and carefree as when she was young.
Later... she met Qin Mobai; she’s unsure what kind of presence this man truly is, but... she might really have developed feelings for him.
After feeling wronged, all she could think of was him.
From the way the counselor spoke to her earlier, based on her original personality, she might have just swallowed her pride and let it pass.
Now, is it because of the confidence she has from knowing Qin Mobai that she dares to seek justice for herself?
