The sudden scare jolted Jian Dan, who fell straight from her chair onto the floor.
Falling to the ground, Jian Dan looked up at her looming teacher, not even bothering with the pain, and quickly stood up, her smile extremely awkward.
âYou dare to sleep during my class? Pretty bold of you!â
âSorry, teacher, it wasnât intentional; I just didnât sleep well last night!â Jian Dan could only lie that she hadnât slept well the night before.
âDidnât sleep well? Is that an excuse? Ask anyone in this classroomâwho has had a good nightâs sleep, who hasnât been reviewing until midnight?â the teacher pointed around the whole class.
Jian Dan knew this excuse was weak, but it was the only one she had thought of in the moment.
âTeacher, Iâm sorry, Iâm wrong, I will never sleep in your class again!â Apologizing always seemed the right thing to do at that time, didnât it?
âWhat do you mean, âyou will not sleep in my class againâ? So, you mean to say that you can sleep in other teachersâ classes? Iâm telling you, itâs not just about offending me. Youâre letting yourself down, youâre letting down your parents who worked hard to send you to school! Do you understand?â
Is this teacher being a bit too pedantic?
Sheâd never been reprimanded by a teacher like this before, had she?
(Please, with your straight-A student persona, teachers donât have enough time to like you, let alone scold you!)
âI know!â
âYou know? You know and you still sleep in class?â
âThen I donât know!â Jian Dan hurriedly corrected herself.
âYou donât know? You actually dare to say you donât know?â
âTeacher, what exactly do you want me to say?â Jian Dan looked at the teacher somewhat helplessly.
âWhat kind of attitude is this towards your teacher?â
âWhat did I even say?â
If the other person wasnât a teacher, Jian Dan probably would have lost her composure by now.
This teacher was simply unreasonable and impossible to argue with.
For the first time, Jian Dan experienced the taste of being wrong no matter what she said.
Suddenly, she felt like she couldnât speak properly at all.
âYou have no respect for your teachers!â
How had she shown a lack of respect? What exactly had she done?
Jian Dan had no idea how she had managed to infuriate the teacher to this extent.
Since anything she said would anger the teacher, she decided she might as well keep quiet.
âWhatâs this, a silent protest?â
At this point, Jian Dan couldnât hold back anymore.
This teacher was completely irrational!
Whatever she said was wrong, and so was silence!
âTeacher, why donât you just tell me what you want to hear, and Iâll say it for you, how about that?â Jian Dan finally couldnât help but confront the teacher directly.
âYou, you, youâIâve never encountered a student like you!â
âI havenât encountered a teacher like you either!â How unlucky to meet such a ridiculous teacher.
âI was wondering why someone would transfer at this time; now I finally understand. With a student like you, which school would want you! You were probably expelled by your previous school!â
âTo make such assertions without any basis, do you think youâre fit to be a teacher?â Jian Dan shot back without mincing her words.
âYou dare to talk back to the teacher like this!â
âIâm simply stating the facts. Isnât it my right to defend myself against unfair treatment here?â Jian Dan didnât back down.
Who knows who tipped off Zhang Yang.
When Zhang Yang hurried over, he saw the two embroiled in a heated debate.
âTeacher Wang, whatâs going on?â Zhang Yang approached the two.
âWhatâs going on? Zhang Yang, this transfer student has no respect for teachers, daring to talkback to the teacher,â Teacher Wangâs hand was trembling from anger.
âJian Dan, what happened?â
âI just accidentally fell asleep during class!â
The truth was, he had noticed Jian Dan sleeping during class, but he hadnât said anything.
âSleeping during class time is wrong, you should apologize to Teacher Wang!â
â I already apologized right away!â
âThen whyâ¦â Why did it still turn into this mess after an apology. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou should ask Teacher Wang!â Because Jian Dan herself didnât know the reason, how could she explain it to someone else.
âTeacher Wang?â
âYou havenât apologized at all, and your attitude towards me has been extremely poor!â
The real-world example of blatant distortion of truth was utterly astonishing!
âYou can ask the other students! See if Iâve wronged her!â
Since he dared to say that, he naturally was convinced no one would dare to speak up for Jian Dan.
As his laugh grew more and more brazen, a girl stood up and said, âShe indeed apologized!â
Jian Dan had never imagined that the person who would stand up and speak for her would be Yang Xiaoting!
