Teacher Tong did not spare a glance at the man who had just saved Ye Jian; her sight was only focused on Ye Jian. She grabbed Ye Jian’s right hand that was used to hold onto the concrete and rolled her sleeves up as she said: “Yao Jing was clearly acting unusually, why did you do everything she wants? Yes, we’ll save her in the end, but you also have to protect yourself!”
“All the teachers were there, we’re all watching! The things that Yao Jing’s mother said, do you need to listen to that? Do you think us teachers don’t know that the words she said were unreasonable? Look at your arm! It’s starting to bruise!”
Her arm scraped against the edge of the rooftop so that an injury will occur more or less, but in Ye Jian’s eyes, this was just a trivial matter.
Retracting her hand, Ye Jian solemnly accepted the scolding from the Principal and the teacher. She then said: “At the time, I just wanted to know what she was planning on doing, so I could persuade her to come back down, I didn’t plan too far ahead.”
“I didn’t expect she would come over and push me, I panicked really hard in the moment. After she pushed me, … I didn’t even know what happened when I fell off, thank god I grabbed onto the concrete.”
She spoke softly, the earnest expression on her face had caused tears to well up in Teacher Tong’s eyes.
Yao Jing wants to jump off the building, and her parents were basically forcing Ye Jian to pay with her life in the end. Even though Ye Jian was clearly going up to help Yao Jing, not only were they not grateful. Instead, they believed that since their daughter had fallen off, then Ye Jian must also fall off… How can they be like that! How can their hearts be so cruel?
“Principal, I need to demand a reasonable explanation for what happened to my student as her teacher. I am going to ask Yao Jing’s parents, I’m going to properly ask them! On what basis do they say such shameless words!”
Xia Jinyuan shielded Ye Jian behind himself, a cold glimmer sunk beneath his bottomless black pupils; he bellowed: “I hope the school can do justice to Ye Jian. This matter will not be over because another student has jumped down.”
“I, as the Principal, will also not allow this matter to slide.” Principal Cao finished with an ashen expression; he then continued: “I’ll have to check on Yao Jing’s situation first, just now I took a glance and I think she just so happened to drop onto the lifesaving mat.”
Just in time, the voice of the police officers downstairs came through the two-way radio, the officer on the rooftop replied to his radio: “The student up here has been saved, what’s the status of the student down there? What’s the situation?”
“No problems whatsoever, she’s still conscious, she’s only shocked.” The officer downstairs finished talking, and all of the teachers standing on the rooftop had all let out a breath of relief.
When Mrs. Yao heard her daughter was fine, the eyes of the previously maniac-like woman started lighting up. She yelled out in a loud and urgent tone: “My daughter’s alright, my daughter’s alright, is that right! Is she alright?”
“She’s conscious, the medic is examining her for any injuries.” The student’s mother was asking, so the officer replied honestly, “The parents can go down and take a look, she’s currently on a stretcher.”
Mrs. Yao rushed out and rushed towards the ground floor. Deputy Director Yao, who fell on his tailbone and had trouble getting up, was also getting up while enduring the pain, carrying his big belly as he hurried down the stairs.
The homeroom teacher of Class Six had an injured ankle, and the moment she heard Yao Jing was okay, she couldn’t hold it anymore. She crumpled onto the concrete floor as she sat there, one hand pressed on her chest as she closed her eyes and breathed in big gulps of air.
Everything is okay; everything is okay. Finally, everything is over.
For a homeroom teacher, as long as their student was okay, then their job was done.
For Principal Cao, this matter is over, but there are still more things to do.
“Excuse me, may I ask if she might need to be hospitalized?” Principal Cao politely asked, but the expression on his face was dark.
The officer beside him immediately asked through his radio. After a brief moment, a reply was returned, “The specifics will be known after getting her checked in the hospital, but from outside, everything looks normal.”
