Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Xie Xiao and Senior Luo Together?
Although he felt his reasoning was twisted, he damned well felt there was some sense to it.
Yan Shi's eyes were red with anger.
Could they really not overpower Xie Xiao alone?
Another embarrassing incident to their account.
He glared fiercely at the boy who had just spoken, trying to gain sympathy through his injuries, "Teacher, although we struck first, Xie Xiao wasn't hurt, you see us..."
The director of studies knew Xie Xiao, who was a good student and a regular scholarship recipient.
In three years, he hadn't started any trouble.
On the other hand, Yan Shi's group was not doing well academically.
Two of them even had records of major offenses due to fights.
And they admitted that they were the first to strike.
What more was there to say?
She glanced at Xie Xiao, her tone gentle, "You can go back now, the afternoon classes are about to start. I will clear this up and let you know."
Then glared at Yan Shi and his group, her tone harsh, "Explain why you provoked Xie Xiao? Feeling proud to play the victim after starting a fight? I'm embarrassed for you!"
Xie Xiao hooked the corner of his mouth, glanced disdainfully at Yan Shi and his group, then said to the teacher, "Then I'll go back first, Teacher."
Yan Shi was furious, "Teacher, look, he's still provoking us!"
"Look at what? How many times has this happened? Did you come to school to fight? It's senior year!" the director's voice was loud.
Xie Xiao walked out the door and thoughtfully closed it behind him, so as not to disturb the surrounding classes.
He exhaled a breath, feeling much better thanks to Yan Shi.
The incident of Xie Xiao being surrounded by Yan Shi and his group was quickly shared on the school's forum in the afternoon.
The class was whispering about it.
But no one directly asked Xie Xiao.
Because his face wore a very bad mood.
Zhou Mianmian frowned as she listened to her classmates' gossip, but couldn't help turning her head to glance at Xie Xiao.
She wanted to text him, but then she remembered he hadn't added her even now.
She felt stuffy inside, and though she thought Xie Xiao deserved it, she couldn't help worrying about him.
Feeling conflicted, Zhou Mianmian was starting to look down on herself.
The girl in front couldn't hold back and turned to ask Zhou Mianmian in a low voice, "I heard that Yan Shi and Xie Xiao fought over you, is that true?"
Zhou Mianmian heard this for the first time, slightly stunned, "Because of me?"
She couldn't help feeling secretly pleased inside, so Xie Xiao fought because of her?
She couldn't resist looking back again.
The girl, somewhat excited, said, "Yeah, what else would they have such deep hatred over? And Xie Xiao looks completely unharmed, Yan Shi's face is all swollen. Could it be that Xie Xiao was jealous and went to confront Yan Shi? So cool!"
The girl had already fantasized a scene of fighting for love out of jealousy.
And successfully brainwashed Zhou Mianmian.
Her face flushed slightly, "I'm not very clear."
The girl said enviously, "Mianmian, Xie Xiao really likes you, but what was the problem between you guys before?"
Thinking of Xie Xiao's previous attitude toward her and the way he spared no feelings in his remarks in front of the class.
Zhou Mianmian felt her heart cooling down again.
The words Xie Xiao said last time were too hurtful, making her feel unable to approach him easily again.
Finally, she responded vaguely, and seeing that she didn't want to talk more, the girl turned her back.
Zhou Mianmian sneakily took out her phone, opened WeChat, and hesitated before sending another friend request.
This would be the last time. If Xie Xiao rejected it again, she really wouldn't persevere anymore.
Just when she was about to put away the phone, she suddenly thought of Yan Shi and opened WeChat to send a message, "Are you okay?"
The reply came quickly, "Mianmian, I'm okay. Are you worried about me?"
"Yes, don't fight anymore. You got hurt."
"It's all because of Xie Xiao!"
Zhou Mianmian looked at Xie Xiao's name and couldn't resist asking, "Is Xie Xiao okay?"
Yan Shi stared at the message, motionless.
Then, he slowly looked up in Zhou Mianmian's direction. At that time, she was still concerned about Xie Xiao.
What was he?
A joke?
Finally, he stuffed his cell phone into his backpack with a cold expression.
Zhou Mianmian waited a while but didn't receive a reply. She slightly frowned, "What's with Yan Shi?"
She felt even more upset.
She put down her phone and took out her papers but had no mind to write.
Xie Xiao received a message from Luo Yanran as he was about to leave school.
Asking if he wanted to have dinner together.
Of course, he did.
After an afternoon of working on papers, Xie Xiao was no longer as irritable.
Teacher Lin even told him that each of Yan Shi's group had a recorded offense, but none were serious offenses since they were seniors about to graduate, worried it might affect their exams.
In so many words, Teacher Lin was asking Xie Xiao to be understanding.
Xie Xiao's expression showed dejection, and finally, he said, "Okay."
Teacher Lin also felt sorry for him and asked, "Do you want them to do something? I will try to coordinate on my end, the teachers know you've been wronged."
Only then did Xie Xiao look at Teacher Lin, his tone somewhat hesitant, "Then, can I hope that they apologize to me while reading their self-criticism?"
This wasn't a big issue.
Teacher Lin agreed right there on the spot.
Only Xie Xiao knew that this would make them suffer more than a serious offense.
It was purely to disgust them to death.
Xie Xiao packed up and left with his backpack as soon as the class ended.
He seemed unaffected.
Yan Shi's deskmate asked him hesitantly, "Are we going to eat together?"
"No, I'm sick to my stomach!" Just thinking about having to apologize to Xie Xiao while reading the self-criticism was enough to make him lose his appetite for days.
Seeing his irritable mood, his deskmate didn't call him again and left with other classmates.
When Xie Xiao was going downstairs, he ran into Li Hua and others.
"Hey, Xie Xiao, wanna join us for a meal?" Li Hua invited enthusiastically, hoping to catch some details about the fight today.
Xie Xiao smiled, "Next time. I have plans with someone this time,"
And then he swiftly walked down the stairs.
A boy exclaimed, "Xie Xiao seems to be in a good mood?"
Li Hua also exclaimed, "Seems like it."
"Yan Shi too, leading people to block others and getting beaten up, it's kind of embarrassing…"
"You know how he is, a complete adolescent in second year syndrome!"
"Zhou Mianmian isn't that pretty either…"
They discussed while descending the stairs.
Then they saw their Xie Xiao run up to a girl and mutter something to her.
Then the two of them walked out shoulder to shoulder.
Li Hua fell silent for a while then asked, "That's, isn't that Luo Yan right?"
A boy exclaimed, "Not 'isn't that', that is Luo Yan!"
The group exchanged glances, "Damn?"
"Xie Xiao and Luo Yan are together?"
"Awesome!"
"That's our Xie Xiao!"
At that moment, Xie Xiao didn't know that he had become the subject of gossip twice in one day.
He was currently walking outside with Luo Yanran.
Luo Yanran's gaze seemed to unintentionally linger on him.
Xie Xiao was slightly amused, "What are you looking at?"
