School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

In the evening, Xiao Han and Chen Zihan walked hand in hand on the streets.

"How do you feel about the exam this time?" Chen Zihan held Xiao Han's right hand with both of hers, feeling exceptionally relaxed in his company, as if her heart was emptied.

"I feel... not bad!" Xiao Han nodded.

"How many points do you think you can get?" Chen Zihan asked.

"Around 720 points, I guess." Xiao Han thought for a moment.

"Wow, that high?" Chen Zihan looked at Xiao Han in surprise and said, "Ah, I don't even know if I can reach 700 points this time. Although I've always wanted to improve my scores, I just can't find the right method. Xiao Han, can you share your study methods with me?"

"What study methods could I have?" Xiao Han laughed and said, "Don't I study beside you every day? Besides, there are many ways to study. Everyone has their own study system. Yours might not suit me, and mine might not suit you!"

"That makes sense!" Chen Zihan nodded, pursed her lips, and then said, "Xiao Han, how come your grades are so good?"

Xiao Han was taken aback for a moment, then said, "That's... because I hide it well!"

"Get out of here!" Chen Zihan scoffed.

Under the street lights, their shadows stretched out long, very long. The shadows also became faint, very faint under the street lights.

Chen Zihan never cared about her mother's warnings and still clung to Xiao Han without any reservations. She didn't know what she would do if she left Xiao Han—she felt she couldn't do without him. She could feel the heart-wrenching pain of separation. Although she knew that day would eventually come, if she could lessen the pain even by one day, why not?

The two of them strolled through the streets, drank coffee, ate snacks...

All along the way, it was almost always Chen Zihan who was paying. Although it was only small amounts of money, Chen Zihan insisted on settling the bills herself, not letting Xiao Han spend a penny.

Seeing her so adamant, Xiao Han didn't want to argue and just let her pay.

The Chen family's situation was indeed better than his own, and Chen Zihan's monthly allowance was even higher than his mother's income. It was obvious how much the Chen family cherished and valued their only daughter. No wonder Chen Zihan's mother hoped she would find someone of equal social status, someone wealthy.

Their love was pure and innocent.

It was as clear and transparent as a handful of spring water, an affection so innocent that even a peck on the lips could make them blush for half a day.

............

On Friday after school, everyone was jubilant.

Liu Jinmei suddenly entered the classroom, looking serious.

"Students, quiet down!" Liu Jinmei shouted loudly.

"Uh..." The classroom, noisy just a moment ago, suddenly became silent. Everyone looked at Liu Jinmei curiously. Liu Jinmei's face then broke into a smile, saying, "It seems that after a day of lessons, everyone is still very energetic."

"Teacher Liu, what's the matter?" Everyone asked curiously.

"I'm here to announce some good news!" Liu Jinmei looked at everyone with a beaming smile and then said, "Starting this week, Saturday will be included in the regular class schedule. That means, everyone has regular classes tomorrow."

"What?!"

"You're kidding, right? We don't want..."

"Protest!"

Many students began to wail at first and then started to angrily protest. Liu Jinmei didn't care about that at all. She sneered and said, "Who dares to protest, step forward. I want to see who doesn't want to attend classes!"

This tactic never failed; no one dared to go against Liu Jinmei's words. The classroom immediately fell silent. Everyone was angry but dared not speak. Liu Jinmei had long been dubbed Witch Liu.

"Teacher Liu!" At that moment, Chen Zihan stood up and said, "We have a class at the Hanmen Training Class tomorrow morning, and we can't miss it!"

"Right!" Jiang Xiaoliang nodded eagerly, saying, "The curriculum at the Hanmen Training Class is also very important to us."

"Then there's nothing I can do!" Liu Jinmei shook her head and said, "Although the Hanmen Training Class curriculum is important, we still have to prioritize the school's teaching. Also, only a small portion of the students signed up for Hanmen Training Class, but the majority didn't. Therefore, we must respect the opinion of the majority, don't we?"

"Yes!" The crowd nodded.

Many people wanted to join the Hanmen Training Class, but they couldn't. Now that they heard these students couldn't go either, they were naturally very excited. There's this element in the Chinese psyche that begrudges others' well-being, envying others' fortune. Once others are about to fall, they not only don't help but even kick them while they're down, with everyone pushing the falling wall.

Chen Zihan and her group felt extremely helpless.

For them, the teaching methods at the Hanmen Training Class were evidently more beneficial. Now that they couldn't attend the classes, Chen Zihan felt it was a great pity.

"Such a pity!" Chen Zihan looked at Xiao Han.

"Indeed!" Xiao Han nodded and said, "However, if the Hanmen Training Class could change the schedule, perhaps that would be better."

"But the Hanmen Training Class couldn't possibly change their schedule just for our Linjiang No. 1 Middle School!" Chen Zihan said with a gloomy face.

"That's not necessarily true!" Xiao Han laughed, "Since Linjiang No. 1 Middle School dares to openly take up the students' Saturdays for classes, it means they have already obtained the approval of the education bureau. The education bureau must have allowed all the middle schools in the city to occupy Saturdays for classes.

Therefore, the Hanmen Training Class will inevitably have to change their class schedule."

"Right!" Upon hearing this, Chen Zihan immediately brightened up and exclaimed, "Now that you mention it, I think that makes some sense."

Just as the two walked out of the classroom, Liu Jinmei blocked their path. Chen Zihan, frightened, quickly let go of Xiao Han's hand. The scene of the two holding hands was clearly seen by Liu Jinmei. Chen Zihan's face instantly turned red, while Xiao Han remained unusually calm.

"Teacher Liu, are you looking for us?" Xiao Han asked curiously.

"I just want to tell you to behave yourselves in school!" Liu Jinmei glared at Xiao Han and said, "Also, you, come to the office with me!"

After speaking, Liu Jinmei turned and left.

Roar, roar...

As soon as Liu Jinmei left, a bunch of guys in the classroom immediately started to make a commotion. They were exceptionally excited, especially after witnessing Xiao Han and Chen Zihan's romance being busted by Liu Jinmei, their excitement became even more intense.

"This is great; Xiao Han is done for now."

"Heh, the school is going to beat the loving couple."

Jiang Xiaoliang snickered, "Xiao Han is definitely toast, hahaha..."

Chen Zihan, looking at the retreating figures of Xiao Han and Liu Jinmei, seemed very anxious.

"Don't worry, with both your grades being so good, the school will surely not give you a heavy punishment!" Yang Xiaoyan came over to comfort her.

"But I... I'm afraid the school will expel Xiao Han!" Chen Zihan panicked.

"Impossible!" Yang Xiaoyan couldn't help laughing, "With Xiao Han's grades, who would dare to make him transfer? That would be letting their own performance slip away, wouldn't it? First off, Liu Jinmei wouldn't agree, secondly, the head of the grade group wouldn't agree, and lastly, the principal wouldn't agree either."

After Yang Xiaoyan said this, Chen Zihan seemed to think there was some reason behind it.

Xiao Han followed Liu Jinmei all the way to the principal's office. It wasn't until he reached the principal's office that Xiao Han became somewhat apprehensive. Could the school really be calling him in for a talk? Perhaps it was because his relationship with Chen Zihan in the school had been too conspicuous, attracting many people's attention.

Pushing the door open, Liu Jinmei led Xiao Han inside.

"Principal Li, Xiao Han is here," Liu Jinmei announced.

"Hmm!" Li Hengzhong stood with his back to the door, next to the floor-to-ceiling windows. He held a cigarette in his hand.

Li Hengzhong turned around slowly, then walked over. He looked at Xiao Han with a smile and said, "Xiao Han, I heard you took second place in the grade again in this mock exam?"

"Yes, Principal Li!" Xiao Han nodded.

"And..." Li Hengzhong smiled slightly, then continued, "Is it also true that you and Chen Zihan are dating?"

Hearing this, Xiao Han was completely taken aback. What was this all about? The leap in Principal Li's conversation was too great, wasn't it? How did he suddenly jump from academic performance to his relationship? Xiao Han smiled and said, "To be honest with you, yes, it's true."

"Humph, nonsense!" Li Hengzhong's expression suddenly turned stern, "Do you know how much early dating can impact a student?"

"I know!" Xiao Han nodded.

"Then why are you still in an early relationship?" Li Hengzhong asked sternly.

"Principal, I'm already nineteen years old," Xiao Han laughed, then said, "It's not early dating. One is an adult after turning eighteen. Now, I already have the basic ability to make my own judgments. Besides, my grades haven't slipped during the few months of my relationship with Chen Zihan. In fact, Chen Zihan's grades have improved, haven't they?"

Li Hengzhong paused, his expression easing slightly.

"You still can't be in an early relationship!" Li Hengzhong seriously looked at Xiao Han and said, "There might be no impact now, but it doesn't mean there won't be in the future. After the college entrance examination, you can date however you want; I won't be able to do anything about it. But as long as you are in this school, I have the authority to intervene!"

"Yes, yes, I promise to be more discreet in the future!" Xiao Han said helplessly.

"That's more like it!" Principal Li nodded, then glanced at Liu Jinmei and said, "Teacher Liu, you can go back first. I want to have a good talk with Xiao Han!"

"Yes!" Liu Jinmei nodded.

Afterward, Liu Jinmei turned and left the office, gently closing the door behind her.

Once Liu Jinmei left, Li Hengzhong also relaxed a bit, patted Xiao Han on the shoulder, and said, "Come on, take a seat."

"Principal Li, this... this is so courteous. Isn't that awkward?" Xiao Han chuckled.

"Stop talking nonsense," Li Hengzhong glared at him and said, "Just sit down."

Xiao Han didn't dare disobey and quickly took a seat.
