224 Something is wrong!
“What’s up with everyone?” Han Zixin asked himself as he entered the school playground area and found his mates muttering to themselves while sneaking glances at him again and again. However, he didn’t dwell much on his suspicions and began practising with his friends.
Lu Xuan on the other hand had a rigorous match. They had been practising hard for the football match that would take place by the end of the month with the other high school.
He stood near the bleachers, dripping with sweat, still in his sports uniform. He saw a tall girl standing there holding a cold water bottle and towel. He walked proudly and grabbed the towel from her hand while she turned her face as if she was ignoring him.
“You finally came to see my match, “Lu Xuan grinned as he tried to ruffle Song Xueyun’s hair but she pulled her head back.
“We are not on speaking terms,” Song Xueyun coldly said.
“Oh, is that so?” Lu Xuan hummed. He wasn’t told that he and Song Xueyun were on fighting terms. Never mind, he tried to play her game. “If we are not on speaking terms, then what are you doing here?”
“I am here only to notify you that I, Song Xueyun, refuse to talk to you, “Song Xueyun said as she dumped a water bottle and towel in his arms and sashayed away.
“Hey?” He called for her but she didn’t stop.
Song Xueyun bit her lips as she thought about the lukewarm treatment he gave her and then walked forward with a cold look on his face. Instead of going to class, she walked toward the old library that students were using less these days as they liked the new High-tech library more. However, she still liked the old and quiet library.
Outside the library were a hundred old oak trees. Instead of going inside, she sat on the lowest branch of the tree and took out her phone that she had to submit before going to the class.
She looked at the sky, chanted a prayer and dialled a number. However, just like every day, the phone was not picked up. It wasn’t that it was switched off or out of reach. Nothing, the number was very much active. Just her calls weren’t accepted.
When her class wasn’t picked, she opened WeChat and left a voice message in a very chirpy voice.
Maybe, one day she would get a reply.
“Dammit, “Song Xueyun heard a voice. She turned her eyes to see a very frustrated Li Sicheng. It wasn’t later his gaze fell on her. For some reason, he looked guilty and so he lowered his eyes. She thought she was just seeing things but when he came to her, she was alerted.
“I’m sorry, “Li Si Cheng said in a soft voice.
“If it’s an apology for calling Nanxian overrated, then I’m sorry, I’m not the right person to accept the apology or if it’s the apology for calling Shangyan eternal second or second best, I’m, once again, but the right person, “Song Xueyun said in a straightforward tone.
Li Sicheng bit his lips. He didn’t know that his careless words would cause such a huge problem. “Not about this. Actually, there is another serious matter. I should have listened to Mian when she said that in class A, we don’t make friends but are rivals. I trusted the wrong people. Please help me.”
Last night, when he was visiting the school group, he hadn’t thought that he would end up downloading a very private video along with the lecture videos. It was only when a classmate asked for his phone in the morning to see the videos that the chemistry teacher sent in the late night did they see that video of Lu Xuan and Han Nanxian dancing. He didn’t find out when they forwarded the video from his phone to theirs and made it viral all over the school forum.
“Look, I don’t have time to guess the things going on in your heart, “Song Xueyun said with a straight face. “I get it, I’m extraordinarily intelligent. Still, I don’t know the art of reading eyes, heart or brain.”
Li Sicheng smiled at her attempt at sarcasm. “Princess, do you know you are cute when you are being savage?”
“Cut the crap and come to the point, “Song Xueyun said, looking at him.
“Here, check out the recent topic on the school forum, “Li Sicheng said as he showed her his cracked phone.
Song Xueyun’s eyes widened when she saw the trending topic on the school forum. She even saw the video and she could see a shadow of An Xiulan in it. She also saw Gu Shangyan’s hand near the camera too. And she even heard Mingze’e voice in it.
When she looked at the comments under the thread, she muttered a curse. People were making fun of Lu Xuan and Han Zixin.
“This doesn’t look good, “Song Xueyun muttered. She looked at the guilty Li Sicheng and asked, “Did you do this?”
“I didn’t!” He explained.
“Then, who did?” She thundered looking at the comments under the posts.
“I can’t tell you, “Li Sicheng said with an uncomfortable look. Those people might have treated him like a rival but he treated them as friends from the bottom of his heart. This would be the last thing he would do for them. And this mess was caused by him and he would like to clear it for the boys.
“Li Sicheng! I don’t care! Who did this? But if I found out that you have a hand in it! I won’t leave you, “Song Xueyun threatened him. She was friends with both Lu Xuan and Han Zixin. How could she see children slandering her friends for no reason? Just because their heads were filled with garbage didn’t mean they were allowed to say dirty things about others.
Li Sicheng could only lower his head. He really was at a fault here.
