My Inner Thoughts Are Heard by the Entire Noble Academy

Chapter 254

Zuo Hengyi didn't plan to explain the complicated reasons to her. He shrugged, "I was just hanging out at Shi Li's place and heard there was something interesting going on here, so I came to join in."

Shi's Grandmother's worry was unnecessary, as the first stop before watching the fireworks was dinner.

It wouldn't matter if the adults skipped meals, but there were little ones to consider. They were in their growing years and couldn't miss meals.

Considering the children's tastes, they chose a light and nutritious dinner.

For these children who had rarely eaten well since they were young, such a meal was naturally a rare delicacy.

However, for the adults accompanying them, this tasteless meal was like chewing on wax.

Shi Li thought to herself, [I should have eaten at home earlier]

Zuo Hengyi was in tears, thinking the same thing.

Xiao Feiyu secretly glanced at Shi Li, feeling quite smug. She had the foresight to know the dinner might not taste great and had eaten something at home beforehand.

Xiao Feiyu's brother and sister-in-law had done the same, eating at home.

Not needing to eat, Xiao Feiyu's sister-in-law was busy taking care of the children nearby.

Xiao Feiyu didn't have the habit of playing mother hen to others. She was willing to contribute money and maybe a little effort, but anything more was absolutely out of the question.

While her sister-in-law was busy with the children, Xiao Feiyu was chatting with Zuo Hengyi.

"Did you see that gossip on the forum today?"

Zuo Hengyi chewed while answering her, "Of course I saw it. How could anyone not know about such big news?"

Xiao Feiyu just sighed, not knowing what else to say after that.

But Zuo Hengyi had plenty to say, "Teacher Sun must be over fifty, right? The Class 6 homeroom teacher really isn't picky."

"Yeah, what's he thinking?"

While they were gossiping, Shi Ruan leaned in with her little head.

Hearing about something she didn't know, she couldn't help but ask, "Your school's teacher got involved with the Principal's Wife!"

"Damn, when did this happen?"

Shi Ruan, being a teacher herself, was conscious of setting a good example and knew such things shouldn't be heard by children as it could taint their pure minds. She deliberately lowered her voice.

"I didn't even know about this!" Shi Ruan said, ready to confront Shi Li about it. How could she not share such news with her sister?

The incident in the grove could be excused because she was busy and had no time to listen to Shi Li then.

But this matter about the Principal's Wife couldn't be blamed on her being busy.

Ji Chunsheng tossed some peeled shrimp into Shi Ruan's bowl, speaking as if defending Shi Li, "Don't blame your sister, maybe she just didn't think of you at the time."

Shi Ruan glared fiercely, "I told her before to share any shocking school gossip with me." This was after learning about that male-on-male, caught-in-the-middle vice principal incident when Shi Ruan had instructed her sister to tell her about any such exciting news.

Who could have imagined the world would change so quickly?

When she was in school, life was dull and stagnant, like dead water.

But after she left school, the students' lives became so rich with various explosive scandals emerging one after another.

Shi Ruan thought that the students at Qianpu Middle School these past few years must be particularly mentally healthy. No matter how much pressure they faced, it could all be dissolved by daily doses of gossip.

She considered suggesting to the Principal that exposing the teachers' romantic affairs might help ensure students' good mental health.

Ji Chunsheng peeled shrimp quickly, and as soon as Shi Ruan bit into one piece, another appeared in her bowl.

Ji Chunsheng seemed to be trying to persuade Shi Ruan, "Maybe she shared it with some other friend. You can't assume you're her only sister; perhaps she just forgot about you at that moment."

Shi Li was quietly eating at the table when this black pot was suddenly thrust upon her.

At this point, Shi Li was still unaware of being secretly maligned, as she occasionally had to respond to Second Young Master Fu's conversation.

Zuo Hengyi and Xiao Feiyu exchanged glances, thinking this man was quite the troublemaker.

Xiao Feiyu was a bit surprised, wondering if this was the kind of man who had successfully replaced her brother.

It was completely unexpected that he would be this type of person.

The sisterly bond between Shi Ruan and Shi Li was too strong to be divided by Ji Chunsheng's provocative words.

Shi Ruan didn't take it seriously, as currently the most important thing on her mind was this piece of gossip.

When Shi Ruan was still in school, the Principal wasn't the principal yet, just a vice principal.

He was an old acquaintance of Shi Ruan's, so how could she not be concerned and curious?

She had already forgotten Ji Chunsheng's words as she curiously leaned towards Zuo Hengyi and Xiao Feiyu, asking in a low voice, "Which teacher is it? What's their name? Tell me, do I know them?"

"How did they get together with the Principal's Wife? What were they thinking? Who discovered their affair and how?"

The first two questions were fine, but the last one about how the affair was discovered made everyone uncomfortable, unsure how to answer.

What could they say?

They couldn't tell the truth.

That the affair was discovered by your cousin Shi Li.

They didn't even know how Shi Li knew so much about it.

As for how the Principal and everyone else found out about the affair, that was even more unspeakable.

If they told that story, it would belong on a science documentary.

Zuo Hengyi organized his thoughts twice before saying, "It all started with the adulterer's attraction to the Principal's Wife."

Apparently, the adulterer's fondness for the Principal's Wife wasn't a habit picked up after starting work; it had begun during his school days.

"When he was in graduate school, he used the Principal's Wife to pressure his fellow students for publication opportunities. His classmates had many complaints about him, and somehow after his graduation, this information came to light. The investigation revealed more than expected; he had quite a history."

From high school until now...

Shi Ruan stared blankly, counting on her fingers, thinking what an incredible person he was.

Even Ji Chunsheng, who was attending to Shi Ruan's meal, couldn't help but marvel, "Your alma mater truly harbors hidden talents."

Shi Ruan chuckled, wondering why nothing this interesting happened when she was in school.
