However, because he felt guilty, he was very careful with his movements.
He would steal a glance, then look away, only to steal another glance a moment later.
That action was just like a greedy cat, worried that its owner wouldn't give it any food, so it could only secretly drool.
They even thought no one had noticed.
Little did they know, their pet owners, who were always watching closely, had seen everything.
The intense hostility transformed into a helpless smile.
He shook his head and walked over.
Let's feed him first before thinking about anything else.
Otherwise, if you get too hungry and start scratching yourself, you'll be the one who ends up hurting yourself.
Luo Ling's nose twitched; the aroma of food was coming from afar.
Her small Adam's apple bobbed twice, and saliva welled up in her mouth.
Forcibly pulling his attention away from the delicious food, he stared intently at the head of the teaching department.
They hoped he would stand up for them and teach those students a lesson.
The head of student affairs felt immense pressure from that innocent gaze; he was a little uneasy.
Before I could even express my opinion, I heard the defendant's group of young masters and ladies laughing at me with a sense of utter disbelief.
"Director, you need to look carefully. We're so far apart, how can you bully us?"
"If anyone's going to bully us, it's them. After all, it's normal for lowly poor people like them to be jealous of us, and it's even more normal for them to do some dirty tricks behind our backs."
As soon as one person finished speaking, the next person immediately chimed in.
"Exactly, they might be doing a lot of shady things in places we don't know about."
"Stealing chickens and dogs? Hahaha..."
"Perhaps even more shameless and despicable, hahaha..."
"Look at those two pretty boys, daring to talk back to us, they're probably being kept by someone long ago."
The more she talked, the more outrageous it became, infuriating Luo Miao to the point that she was practically fuming.
"Tong'er, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to throw a tantrum."
The system, which was enjoying watching the show, saw its host start to cry violently, as if it had suffered a great injustice.
Yes, that's right, crying.
She looked as wronged as a little kitten that had been bullied, tears streaming down her face.
It was truly heartbreaking to hear, and brought tears to the eyes of all who listened.
She wiped the tears from her face, turned around and rushed towards the person who was walking quickly towards her, grabbed the other person's arm, and looked up at him pitifully.
She pursed her lips, remaining silent, her eyes red and swollen.
It didn't seem out of place at all for a grown man to make such a gesture.
On the contrary, it was his handsome face, which was somewhere between mature and immature and had not yet fully blossomed, that softened people's hearts.
Zong Yujin quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the water droplets from his face, her movements gentle and careful.
His face was cold, and his aura was extremely low.
The others were still stunned by Luo Miao's sudden crying.
Upon seeing Zong Yujin, everyone's heart clenched, their nerves tightened, and their breathing even faltered.
Will he...?
They looked at each other uneasily.
"Young Master Zong, Young Master Luo..." The dean of students began cautiously, but after calling out Luo Ling's name, he was glanced at by the other party and immediately changed his address to "Student Luo".
Seeing that the other person looked away, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued.
"This incident was due to our mismanagement. Please rest assured that the school is a place for learning and studying, and we will severely punish such disturbances."
The head of the teaching department looked serious, but was inwardly trembling with fear.
Zong Yujin is someone he can't afford to offend.
Those young masters and ladies also have status.
But this young master Luo, who was being bullied, is not someone to be trifled with.
He really couldn't understand why these young masters and ladies, whose status was clearly noble, insisted on playing the tricks of the poor.
What's wrong?
