When Bai Tang's call went through, the person on the other end picked up quickly: "What's wrong?"
"You got expelled?" Zhang Xiaochu asked urgently, full of concern.
Even though Bai Tang was a terrible student, she still had a heart that wanted to be a top scholar!
But just as she was being so diligent, the school directly snuffed out that newly ignited flame!
"Yeah, expelled!" Bai Tang said calmly.
Maybe this school just wasn't meant for her.
In this life, she hadn't even finished elementary school before dropping out, and now, after being reborn, she hadn't even lasted a month in high school before getting kicked out again!
Tsk tsk tsk...
A faint hint of melancholy...
"Come back, I'll take you to see the principal, I'll handle this for you!" Zhang Xiaochu said domineeringly.
Bai Tang let out a light laugh, her voice cheerful: "Bro Chu, just focus on your studies, and next time, take the exam for me too!"
Hearing Bai Tang's words, Zhang Xiaochu's mood soured: "I'll figure this out. Don't do anything rash. Go home and rest for now, I'll come find you later!"
"Don't bother," Bai Tang said with a smile. "I'm not going to school anymore. Having the last-place student in the whole school hanging around is a waste of resources."
"No way!" Zhang Xiaochu refused. "If you leave, won't I be the last place from now on?"
Bai Tang: "..."
You idiot!
"Don't you want to take the college entrance exam? There's less than two months left. Are you going to give up?" Zhang Xiaochu said seriously. "Sure, aiming for A University is a bit of a pipe dream, but who knows, maybe fate will go crazy and let you get in!"
A faint, gentle smile curled at the corner of Bai Tang's lips.
She knew full well that Zhang Xiaochu was just trying to comfort her!
"Bro Chu, don't make a fuss. Let's talk tonight. You focus on class!" Bai Tang said with a laugh. "I've got things to do, hanging up!"
Before Zhang Xiaochu could say more, Bai Tang ended the call.
Zhang Xiaochu's face was full of worry as he stared at his phone, deeply concerned about Bai Tang.
He had no idea where she was right now.
He couldn't leave at the moment either; he needed to find out what exactly had happened.
After a moment's thought, Zhang Xiaochu reluctantly picked up his phone again and dialed another number.
It took a while before the person on the other end answered, a cool voice tinged with a hint of chill: "What is it?"
The invisible, powerful aura made Zhang Xiaochu nervously swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"Speak?"
Zhang Xiaochu cleared his throat and then said, "Boss Sheng, Bai Tang got expelled from school. I don't know where she is now. Can you help me find her and comfort her for now? I'll handle things here and come find—"
Before Zhang Xiaochu could finish, Sheng Qi had already hung up.
Zhang Xiaochu was stunned. Just as he was about to call again, an angry voice rang out: "Hey, that student over there! It's morning self-study time, why aren't you in the classroom? What are you doing out here?"
Zhang Xiaochu turned around, put away his phone, and glared irritably at the patrolling dean of discipline before quickly running off.
"Stop right there! Where do you think you're going?" The dean chased after him.
...
Sheng Qi held his phone and directly called Bai Tang.
"Handsome, calling me so early in the morning, are you really missing your Tangtang?" The girl's crisp voice rang out, seemingly always brimming with energy.
Sheng Qi frowned. This voice didn't sound like someone who had just been expelled at all.
"You got expelled from school?"
Sheng Qi asked coldly, a trace of barely perceptible concern in his tone.
