Zhou Xiaozhu covered her face with resentment and stared at Xia Ling.

Then Xia Ling was brought into the office.

Before she entered, she saw a tall and gentle boy in a school uniform, holding a stack of test papers, waiting at the door of the office.

"Teacher Li, the Dean asked you to help take a look at these test papers. The Dean has a public class this afternoon, so he asked me to bring these to you." Turning around, the light surrounding Gu Qian's body became dim.

With the back light, Xia Ling could only see a deep outline.

However, Gu Qian's voice was like a clear bamboo lightly tapping on a jade plate, with a peaceful aftertaste.

"It's Gu Qian. Okay, I got it!" The math teacher looked at Gu Qian with a gentle expression.

He opened the office door and invited Gu Qian in.

Gu Qian did not stand on ceremony and followed him in.

Xia Ling followed behind him, and Zhou Xiaozhu was at the back.

When facing Gu Qian, Zhou Xiaozhu was obviously trembling. She only dared to say bad things about others behind his back.

The office was a separate cubicle with bookshelves, a table, and some office equipment.

The three of them stood inside, and it was a little crowded.

Especially Gu Qian, who was half a head taller than the math teacher. Although he was thin, he had a special presence. Just standing there made people feel pressured.

"Okay, leave the information here. I'll take a look at it later. Gu Qian, you're very good. Remember to help me tell the Dean when I get back. I'll be ready by noon. I'll send it to him then," the math teacher said kindly.

"Okay." Gu Qian nodded and turned around. It was only then that he seemed to suddenly see Xia Ling.

He paused, turned around and asked the mathematics teacher in puzzlement.

"Teacher Li, what did Jing Shi do? I saw her standing in the corridor during the last class. I just heard that she got into a fight with someone? That's impossible. She's usually so timid that she doesn't even dare to step on an ant. How could she dare to hit someone?"

The mathematics teacher looked at Xia Ling.

The young girl stood there coldly. Other than being a little better-looking, her personality was not likable at all. She was like a gourd with a saw's mouth, not saying a word for a long time!

"She was sleeping in class and fighting with her classmates after class. That female classmate was beaten by her until she was sent to the school's infirmary. Gu Qian, your sister is really full of fighting power. Don't underestimate her?" she said ambiguously. The mathematics teacher blamed Xia Ling for everything.

Gu Qian, on the other hand, asked Xia Ling, "Xiao Shi, is what your teacher said true?"

Xia Ling looked at Gu Qian. From the moment she saw him waiting at the office door, she could tell that Gu Qian was waiting for her here and wanted to support her.

At that moment, under Gu Qian's calm gaze, Xia Ling's heart settled down, but she lowered her head and whispered.

"Gu Qian, it's not like that. It's Zhou Xiaozhu. She scolded me and said some disgusting things. I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I slapped her!"

"Oh?" Gu Qian's eyes instantly turned cold as he stared at Zhou Xiaozhu.

"No... No, I didn't say it, it wasn't me! Jing Shi, you misjudged the person yourself, don't blame it on me!" Zhou Xiaozhu was frightened by Gu Qian's cold gaze. She took a few steps back and tried her best to explain herself.

Gu Qian didn't listen to her.

He turned around and looked at the math teacher.

"Teacher Li, it's like this. Jing Shi's parents are abroad all year round. Jing Shi grew up with my family. My parents are also half of her parents. What do you think? Tell me, I'll ask my family to help her solve it. Is that okay?"

Gu Qian's tone was calm, but with his words, he was protecting Xia Ling.
