Self-Blame and Shame

"Teacher, is there something you'd like to discuss?" Mei Yun asked uncertainly.

The homeroom teacher smiled and pointed to the report card. "Thanks to Mei Shu, our class has come together as a team, and everyone's grades have improved significantly. Mei Shu deserves all the credit. Regardless of what people are saying about her outside, I want to emphasize that she has always been a rare good child in our class."

Mei Yun, still feeling dazed, lowered his head to look at the report card once more. He suddenly realized what the teacher was trying to convey. The man in his forties was now showing signs of tearing up in front of all the parents.
