The dean doubtfully looked at An Wen.

“I understand why the school had to look into this matter when someone else reported me for cheating. So why do you need to apologize for that, sir? I only said those things yesterday because I was angry!” An Wen calmly said while a gentle and feminine expression appeared on her face.

The wrinkles on the dean’s face became much softer. He was just about to force himself to smile and speak before An Wen said, “Sir, you said that you wouldn’t reveal this matter, but for some reason, rumors about me cheating have already spread throughout the school since yesterday. The students have also openly interrogated me and said that I don’t deserve to remain in the advanced class if I cheated on the exams. This has affected me terribly.”

After hearing An Wen speak, the dean glanced at all the teachers in the office, but all of them shook their heads because they had not revealed this matter.

“Alright, I’ll definitely look into this and get to the bottom of it. Your good reputation will be restored,” the dean said.

“Sir, people are already pointing at me whenever I go to the cafeteria and eat. I would have already gone insane once you’ve finished investigating this incident,” An Wen replied.

The dean’s expression changed after the female student had spoken. He said, “Okay, I’ll bring this up during the exercise period between classes tomorrow.”

“Thank you, sir. However, I have something else to add.” A faint smile appeared on the corners of An Wen’s lips before she gently said, “I’d like to request for leave.”

All the teachers in the office had confused looks on their faces.

“For how long?” the dean asked.

“The things that happened these past few days affected me so badly that I cried myself to sleep every night! Sir, I’d like to request for leave until the last day before the school term ends,” An Wen replied. She lowered her head and gently sniffled, making herself appear fragile and troubled.

The dean and the other teachers thought, ‘This incident greatly affected us too! Our poor hearts are still hurting.’

“You can’t request for such a long period of leave,” the dean said.
