The atmosphere wasn't exactly harmonious. Tang Fu stood under the teaching building, feeling the growing awkwardness among teachers and classmates.
Director Yan, usually blessed with high emotional intelligence, was momentarily at a loss about how to restore the dignity of Fourth Middle School.
Just then, Xue Yuantong rode by on her electric scooter and waved: "Fufu, why are you standing there in a daze?"
Tang Fu responded boldly: "I ran too fast, so I'm just here receiving praise!"
Xue Yuantong snorted: "Dare to race against my scooter?"
With that, she urged Jiang Ning to speed up, and Tang Fu asked Principal Yu for leave, then sprinted after the scooter, determined to win the race.
Principal Yu and the others watched Tang Fu chase off like a giant rabbit, finally easing the tension.
