In recent years, the village and the town have been connected by public transportation, so the next day my younger brother and sister took the bus to school.

In the teacher's office, a chubby child with a bruise on the corner of his mouth was holding the hand of a middle-aged woman.

As soon as my brother and sister saw them, he pointed at my brother and complained, "Mom, he hit me!"

The middle-aged woman, with an unfriendly expression, was about to confront me when the teacher intervened, asking who I was.

After identifying myself, the middle-aged woman sneered, "What can a just-turned-adult girl understand? Do you not have parents at home?"

Before I could speak, my brother angrily retorted, "Can you even speak? Be careful, I'll tear your mouth apart."

I couldn't help but sigh. Is this really something an eleven-year-old boy should say, especially to an adult...

But his character was quite to my liking.

The teacher explained the situation to us.

It turned out that in front of the whole class, this chubby child confessed his love to my sister, saying that if she didn't date him, she would be disrespecting him.

My sister, not one to back down, immediately rejected him, which led to an argument between my brother and him, eventually resulting in a physical altercation.

Since many people intervened, neither of them was seriously hurt. My brother got kicked in the stomach, and the chubby child just took a punch.

Since it wasn't solely my brother's fault, the teacher suggested they apologize to each other and make amends.

Perhaps feeling embarrassed that her child used the term "being arrogant" towards a female classmate, the parent urged the chubby child to apologize first.

My brother and sister gave them a cold look, and despite my and the teacher's efforts, my brother refused to apologize.

Finally, with an apologetic look, I turned to the mother and son, "I'm sorry. Since my brother is unwilling to apologize to you, I'll apologize on his behalf."

With that, I slightly bowed.

The parent waved her hand, not wanting to say more, exchanged a few words with the teacher, and left.

Just as I was about to leave with my brother and sister, the teacher called me back.

She glanced at my brother and then delicately asked, "Zhang Yanghui, I'd like to ask, how do you usually educate your children at home? Because it seems Zhang Yanghui has a bit of a temper issue, is it related to the family?"

I clearly saw that after the teacher said this, my brother's expression turned ugly.

I immediately responded, "Oh, no, our family relationships are quite harmonious."

The teacher sighed and looked at my brother, "Let me say this, Yanghui, you need to change your attitude, or you'll face challenges in society in the future. You should focus on your studies..."

Midway through her words, my brother interrupted her, "Teacher, my behavior has nothing to do with you. Besides, my sister and my parents will take care of me in the future, so you don't need to worry."

With that, he took my sister's hand and left.

Before we even left the office, I heard my sister mutter under her breath, "Why does this teacher like to meddle in other people's business so much?"

Her voice was low, but both the teacher and I heard it. An awkward atmosphere filled the office, so I quickly made an excuse and left.
