Chapter 14

For the next few days, Qin Shi Ran never went back to school.

"I knew that Qin Shi Ran cheated. Look at him cowering at home." The male student who reported to the teacher told his friends on their way out of the classroom.

"If it was me, I would never show my face at this school again. So what if he came from the Qin family." the other student laughed.

Rumors have spread that Qin Shi Ran cheated on the test. Bai Rong Ring's mood became better after hearing it. Who told Qin Shi Ran to reject her. Now, he got heaven's punishment.

However, it seems that she was too busy concentrating on the Qin family's fortune that she forgot Qin Shi Ran is an idiot. Someday, the Qin wealth will fall apart in his hand. Being together with him will only cause her suffering in the future. While Bai Rong Ring is thinking of another boyfriend candidate, Han Bing receives a call from Qin Shi Ran's mother.

"Hello, Madam Yang" Han Bing, who was packing her bag, picked up the phone.

"Han Bing ah, can you talk to Shi Ran? He doesn't want to go back to school." Madam Yang said while bawling and sniffing. Her son hasn't come out of his room for 3 days already.

"Madam Yang, calm down. Tell me the details." Han Bing didn't hear the rumor yet as everyone avoided talking to her about it.

"I don't know. He just suddenly came back from school one day and decided not to go anymore." Yang Li Mi tried to stop her crying.

Han Bing remembers the day when Qin Shi Ran got called into the principal's office. "I will go talk to Qin Shi Ran. Please go rest, Madam Yang." Han Bing said politely. Han Bing likes this quirky madam. She also feels guilty for what she will do to her son later.

Yang Li Mi feels that Han Bing is her rescue star. "En. Come back quickly."

After hanging up, Han Bing put her bag onto the handle and rolled her wheelchair to the principal's office.

Knock. Knock. "Come in." The principal's voice sounded tired. He and the teachers have been going around recently to try to find evidence on the cheating incident. However, since Qin Shi Ran doesn't come to class anymore, it is more difficult to investigate.

Han Bing rolled her chair into the room and closed the door. "Qin Shi Ran's mother gave a call to me telling me that Qin Shi Ran wants to quit school."

"Haaaa." The principal felt like pulling his hair out. Youngsters these days are too impulsive.

"I'm going to convince him to stop, but may I know what happened to Qin Shi Ran?"

The principal knows that he's not supposed to say other student's privacy, but the thing is already out of the bag. He doesn't know who said it, but the fact that Qin Shi Ran cheated on his test already spread without their confirmation. He's glad that Han Bing is trying to help with the situation. "Someone reported Qin Shi Ran for cheating." The principal said seriously.

"I see. This is indeed troublesome." Han Bing can guess what happens afterward with Qin Shi Ran's temperament.

"How are you planning to clarify whether he cheated or not when he comes back?"

The principal laid back on his chair. This is also one of his problems. If Qin Shi Ran is really innocent, then making him retake a midterm will be unfair for him. However, if he investigates based on pure witness, then the evidence can be twisted.

Seeing the principal in contemplation, Han Bing pointed out. "How about let the teachers test him out personally for 20 minutes each? This way he won't be able to cheat, and it won't take up much time."

"We can go with that." The plan is sensible and it solves the problem. Not only that, it takes into consideration Qin Shi Ran's feelings. The principal nodded.

"Han Bing, have you thought of what college you plan to go to?" The principal is curious about which school Han Bing is interested in.

"I'm planning to study abroad for my college." Han Bing said. At least in another country, the Qin family's influence won't be able to reach her.

Thump. Han Bing held onto her chest. For a second, she felt pain in her heart.

The principal saw Han Bing clutching her chest. "Are you okay? Student Han. Do you want me to call the doctor?"

Han Bing shakes her head. "I'm fine. The pain is gone now." Maybe she has been too tired recently.

The principal lectured on her health for a while before he finally let her go. The principal watched Han Bing roll her chair away. Everything is great about Han Bing. The only problem with her is that she's careless towards her own body. He has seen kids who rather eat than learn. Han Bing is the first student he ever knew who would rather study than eat.

In front of Qin Shi Ran's home, Han Bing knocked on the door. The door slammed open and Madam Yang jumped onto her. "Han Bing, hiccup, you finally came. Qin Shi Ran won't eat or tell us what's going on." Madam Yang cried.

Han Bing patted her back. "Madam Yang. Don't worry. Give me some space with Qin Shi Ran. I will convince him."

Madam Yang nodded while fake crying. "En."

Han Bing is helpless against this cute madam. She rolled her chair to Qin Shi Ran's room.

Dong. Dong. "Qin Shi Ran let me in. It's me Han Bing" Silence.

"I'm going to count to three. If you don't open the door, I will use force." Han Bing said. Qin Shi Ran pretended not to hear anything.

"Three." Boom. The door got unhinged with Han Bing's punch. Yang Li Mi who was watching on the side was shocked by Han Bing's brute power.

Qin Shi Ran immediately sat up from his bed.

Han Bing opened the light in the room.
