Apology

The woman in the green army uniform clearly found Xia Wan's proposal hard to accept, but she dared not retort rashly. She could only huff and puff, showing her dissatisfaction.

The woman in the plain shirt seemed calmer.

She sized up Xia Wan seriously and then said, "Both sides are at fault. Let's just leave it at that."

Liu Hua tugged at Xia Wan's sleeve.

Xia Wan turned to listen and heard Liu Hua whisper: "Let it be! They probably didn't do it on purpose."

Liu Hua always advocated for peace in dealing with issues.

She had endured bullying silently for years, both in the village and at school.

Xia Wan was not one to swallow her anger like Liu Hua, especially when the other party was at fault.

"Not on purpose?" Xia Wan scoffed, "If I hadn't caught you, you might have been knocked to the ground bleeding by now.

"And it was you who pushed us. Even if you apologize now, we won't accept it."
