Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 136 - 130. Dai Shanshan apologizes to her! (1)

Evening self-study started at 6:30 PM, but by 6 PM, the classroom of Grade 1 Class 1 was already mostly filled with students.

Last week’s sports meet had ended, and Grade 1 Class 1 had won first place in the entire school. The principal had recognized them as the most outstanding class at Longxiang High School in specific areas of development, a fact that filled the students with pride and reflected well on Teacher Huo.

Because of this, he had fulfilled the promise he made—one to treat the whole class to a meal.

Teacher Huo had ordered pizzas and snacks for the whole class. The takeout was delivered to the fence at the school’s side entrance, which Teacher Huo collected accompanied by Wu Beilei and several other class cadres.

So at 6 PM that day, all the students of Grade 1 Class 1 were seated neatly in their classroom.

One by one, the pizzas and snacks were distributed to each person’s desk, creating a warm and lively atmosphere in the classroom.

Teacher Huo Mingshan had also promised to treat the most beautiful cheerleaders to milk tea, so while the other students received Coke, the prettiest cheerleaders got ’Guming’ milk tea.

With pizza, snacks, and milk tea, the students of Grade 1 Class 1 were wholly won over by Teacher Huo Mingshan.

Adding to that, the class president Wu Beilei stood at the lectern, speaking a lot of good words on behalf of Teacher Huo.

After this meal, the students of Grade 1 Class 1 were likely to love their class even more, to admire Huo Mingshan even more, and to be more proactive in future activities.

Pu Sangzhi and her deskmate Yao Meimei shared a box of 8-inch pizza and a small box of chicken wings, eating with relish in a buoyant mood.

Just then, class president Wu Beilei, sipping her milk tea, suddenly came over to Pu Sangzhi and pulled a red envelope from her pocket, placing it on Sangzhi’s desk.

This action startled both Pu Sangzhi and Yao Meimei.

Wu Beilei quickly explained, "Teacher Huo said that you were wronged during the last 1500 meters run. From first place, you ended with no rank and even suffered injuries, and he couldn’t help you vindicate. This little red envelope is taken from the prize money for first place at the sports meet; consider it a consolation from our class, thanking you for your effort."

Pu Sangzhi had been implicated by other students in the last 1500 meters run, which caused her to go from first place to no rank. This incident was witnessed in its entirety by Teacher Huo Mingshan and a few key class cadres like Wu Beilei.

They felt indignant on behalf of Sangzhi, but a race is a race, the rules are rigid, and there was no way to reclaim her honor for her.

After the sports meet, Mount Emei and the class cadres also tried not to bring up the incident in front of Sangzhi, fearing it might hurt her self-esteem and considering her feelings.

Nevertheless, Teacher Huo Mingshan and Wu Beilei had already been discussing how to compensate Sangzhi.

So now, class president Wu Beilei was representing the class in presenting this gesture of consolation to Pu Sangzhi.

A small red envelope, with a big sentiment.

At this moment, Pu Sangzhi felt touched.

She looked at the red envelope and smiled, "Can I accept this?"

Wu Beilei nodded, "Of course you can. I personally brought it to you, wouldn’t it be rude to reject my kindness?"

Pu Sangzhi did not make a fuss and took the red envelope after removing her pizza-eating gloves, nodding at Wu Beilei with thanks, "Thank you then, class president. Thank you to our form teacher, and thanks to my classmates for your care."

Wu Beilei pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, "No need for thanks. The money isn’t much, nowhere near enough to cover your medical expenses, just a small token of concern."

After speaking, Wu Beilei took her milk tea and walked back to her own desk.

Yao Meimei, excited, urged Pu Sangzhi to hurry up and open the red envelope. Pu Sangzhi, with a flutter of anticipation, discreetly opened the red envelope in her desk drawer. Inside lay two red Mao Zedong banknotes.

200 yuan in total.

For a student, 200 yuan was not a small amount of money.

Seeing this sum, Sangzhi was even more delighted.

Because to Sangzhi, 200 yuan meant two weeks’ worth of living expenses, and she wouldn’t need to ask Chen Huifen for money during that time.

"Hey hey, Sangzhi, maybe it’s a blessing in disguise," her deskmate Yao Meimei said with a hint of envy.

Sangzhi didn’t respond. She just smiled, put the red envelope away and then put her gloves back on to continue eating her pizza.

While class (1) was enjoying their feast, all of a sudden, Dai Shanshan arrived at Grade 1 Class 1.

On the day Sangzhi’s 1500 meters run was ruined, an indignant class president Wu Beilei clandestinely took a photo of Dai Shanshan, pinning the blame on her in a group chat, which led to the whole class’s collective condemnation.

That day, Wu Beilei and Teacher Huo Mingshan stood up for Sangzhi’s justice by objecting to the judges’ decision.

But rules are rules — no sporting event will grant high scores out of sympathy to an athlete who falls during the competition.

Thus, after that highly unfortunate event, Dai Shanshan became the public enemy of Grade 1 Class 1 under the influence of Wu Beilei, an object of disdain for all fellow students.

So at this moment, when Dai Shanshan arrived at the doorway of the Grade 1 Class 1 classroom, the room fell eerily silent. The lively atmosphere of eating pizza seemed to be instantly subdued, as all the students simultaneously stopped chatting and dozens of gazes fell upon Dai Shanshan, including Sangzhi’s own...

Dai Shanshan stood at the classroom door, bearing the pressure of the many eyes on her. She knocked lightly on the door and whispered, "Pu Sangzhi, may I speak with you outside for a moment?"

At that moment, before Pu Sangzhi had even spoken, the class monitor Wu Beilei stood up from her seat and said directly, "Our Sangzhi injured her foot during last week’s competition and finds it inconvenient to move around."

Sitting in the last group at the back, Wen Miao also stood up, hand in pocket and chin raised arrogantly. "Either you come in, or leave. Our classmates are not at your beck and call."

Without saying anything, Dai Shanshan was suddenly put under pressure.

Standing at the classroom door, she could feel the hostility of all the students in Class 1 of Grade One and their unfriendly attitudes.

Dai Shanshan’s heart beat a little faster, nervous and uncomfortable.

However, she still bit her lip and mustered up the courage to walk into the classroom.

Pu Sangzhi was sitting in the fourth seat of the fourth row. Dai Shanshan, holding a big pile of snacks, walked towards Pu Sangzhi’s desk under everyone’s gaze.

Once she stood still, Dai Shanshan placed the snacks at Pu Sangzhi’s feet and apologized directly, "I’m sorry for causing you to lose points in the competition last week. It wasn’t intentional, and I apologize to you."

Dai Shanshan had truly shown sincerity and a proper attitude in her apology, which took all the students of Grade One (1) by surprise.

Pu Sangzhi too was startled by her sudden apology and couldn’t respond right away.

Dai Shanshan felt nervous and awkward as she apologized under the gaze of so many classmates. Her cheeks flushed, the redness spreading to her ears, which could be described as quite embarrassing.

But she did not back down and continued to speak. "Last time, I was really tired from running. I thought by trying to keep up with someone, it might be easier... So when you passed by me, I wanted to follow you. But I don’t know what happened; I fell and dragged you down with me, and I am very sorry. I’ve bought some snacks for you and hope you won’t be too angry with me."

As Dai Shanshan spoke, she pointed at the bags of snacks beside her.

Although it was unclear whether her reasons were true, her attitude and sincerity in apologizing were definitely genuine.

Most students have a soft heart, which means a majority of them are kind-hearted.

After seeing Dai Shanshan’s sincere apology, the students of Grade One (1) began to change their view of her.

Class monitor Wu Beilei and Wen Miao both sat down, toning down their aggression.

Pu Sangzhi, not wanting to be rude, simply nodded in acceptance of Dai Shanshan’s apology.

"It’s okay, it’s all in the past."

Pu Sangzhi said, "Take the things back with you."

Dai Shanshan shook her head vehemently, "You must accept these. Seeing how my actions have hurt you, causing you to walk with a limp, I feel so guilty."

Pu Sangzhi replied awkwardly, "It’s alright..."

Dai Shanshan pursed her lips, "Anyway, I came here to apologize to you. It would be nice if you could forgive me."

Pu Sangzhi’s embarrassment was palpable, "Yeah, no problem."

Dai Shanshan could see that Pu Sangzhi didn’t entirely relish forgiving her and knew that her apology might not have been fully accepted.

However, she had already said what she had to say, and standing there any longer wouldn’t serve any purpose.

Dai Shanshan thought it would be better to try again tomorrow.

Apologize again tomorrow, and the day after, and for the entire week... She would surely be forgiven then, right?

No matter what, Dai Shanshan had to win Pu Sangzhi over.

After all, Huo Feng and his gang... were all watching her.

Having said a simple goodbye, Dai Shanshan then left the Grade One (1) classroom.

Once she was gone, various discussions about Dai Shanshan’s actions began in the Grade One (1) classroom.

The atmosphere was lively.

And Dai Shanshan’s image in their minds improved accordingly.

Students tend to view people and situations through a kind and positive lens.

So, after Dai Shanshan’s visit, she was removed from the blacklist of Grade Two (9) in the hearts of the students.

Pu Sangzhi also accepted the snacks and didn’t hold a grudge about the incident.

Actually, even if Dai Shanshan hadn’t come, Pu Sangzhi wasn’t planning to hold onto the matter. After all, life moves on...

But Dai Shanshan’s visit had indeed made Pu Sangzhi feel life was a bit lovelier, and that people’s hearts were still beautiful and warm.

What she didn’t know was that the wonderful part of her life was brought about by Huo Feng.
