"Who do you think you're talking to? Watch your tone," Yuan Si shot back, unafraid. She even flashed a small fist at him.
Xiao Furen was furious, but all he could do was grab her little "paw" and give it a playful bite to vent his frustration. "Fine, my tone was off. Let me ask again. Yuan Si, my little darling, tell your man what this business about being expelled is. How come I never heard anything about it?"
Yuan Si shuddered, rubbing the goosebumps on her arms. 'When he lays it on thick, it's unbearable.' "What else could it be? It's just what I told you."
"Impossible. The principal seems like a decent guy." 'I have a superpower too, you know. I could sense the goodwill coming from him.'
