CH 33

Wan Tong loosened the straw with a silly expression, and a drop of milk bounced onto her upper lip, which was then licked away by her rosy tongue.

“I didn’t take it…” She blinked innocently, and her thick eyebrows and long eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows in the sunlight.

In an instant, Gu Chenyue felt a small hand squeeze his stiff and cold heart, and his black pupils trembled slightly.

As Lin Zhiwen walked over, her gaze suspiciously circled around the two of them, and a cold smile curved her lips.

So, it turns out that Gu Chenyue really likes Zheng Wantong?

Zheng Wantong is so silly, what does he like about her? They are simply not from the same world!

She was also so foolish, creating so many opportunities for the two of them to get in touch before.

Finally, Lin Zhiwen’s gaze fell on Wan Tong’s delicate little face, and she suddenly felt disgusted by the face that could only pretend to be innocent, even though she had previously regarded her as a friend.

Gu Chenyue is not an active person at all. If it weren’t for Zheng Wantong’s active seduction, would he have been attracted to her?

[045, you are really too negligent. You didn’t even notice when Gu Chenyue was seduced by that little ***.]1 She cursed in her heart.

[Even the host didn’t notice.] 045 replied.

Lin Zhiwen gritted her teeth in anger and stared at Wan Tong, “What’s going on? Did you take someone else’s school badge?”

Wan Tong noticed the impatience and disgust in her gaze, and she also thought about it in her heart. Now it was all right, there was no need to maintain their fake sisterhood2 anymore.

“I really didn’t take it,” she placed the milk box aside and stood up from the stairs, looking in the direction of Gu Chenyue’s uniform shirt pocket. Wasn’t his school badge broken? When did she take it?

“Have a look for yourself?” Lin Zhiwen impatiently urged, although she also thought it was unlikely that Zheng Wantong would dare to take something from Gu Chenyue.

Wan Tong reached out to touch her deep gray pleated skirt. There was indeed a pocket on the side seam. However, she only ever kept her meal card there.

But at that moment, she actually felt something hard in the pocket.

Sure enough, it was a school badge.

She took it out and looked at it, and there were indeed the three words “Gu Chenyue” imprinted on it.

She was surprised and examined it repeatedly.

“Tongtong, so this is what you meant by not taking it?” Lin Zhiwen’s gaze carried reproach and a touch of anger.

Zheng Wantong did lie to her after all.

And she called herself a good friend, heh.

Wan Tong was also a little puzzled at this point. Could it be that when they were checking just now, Gu Chenyue put it in her pocket?

As she fell silent, Gu Chenyue had already taken the school badge from her palm, his callused fingertips touching her sweaty and soft palm, leaving behind a strange sensation.

“I accidentally dropped it,” he lazily spoke.

But his words were misleading. How could someone accidentally drop their school badge into a girl’s pocket??

At that moment, the bell rang throughout the campus, and Lin Zhiwen gritted her teeth and said, “Let’s go back to the classroom first.”

She still had a chance to uncover the affair between the two and to put a stop to it.

“Oh…” Wan Tong quickly walked down the stairs and followed Lin Zhiwen’s steps.

Gu Chenyue watched the two figures walk away, then lowered his head to look at the milk box left behind by the girl. He bent down and picked it up with his long fingers.

The milk box was still two-thirds full, and he shook it, catching a whiff of its fresh and sweet scent.

On a whim, he brought the straw to his lips.

The taste of the milk wasn’t so bad after all.

As Wan Tong walked a distance away, she turned back and happened to catch a glimpse of the boss biting on the straw. In an instant, her face turned red with embarrassment.

The boss, how much does he really like her? Is his usual stern appearance just an act?

Back in the classroom, the heat on Wan Tong’s face still hadn’t dissipated. Her delicate pink skin made Lin Zhiwen feel particularly uncomfortable.

In her opinion, Wan Tong must be hiding something.

“Tongtong, are you hiding something from me?” Lin Zhiwen asked.

“What thing?” Wan Tong asked back.

Lin Zhiwen choked, “If you don’t want to say, then forget it.”

The sound of reading had already started in the class. Lin Zhiwen leaned over to Wen Tong’s ear and said, “But I told you that I like Gu Chenyue. If you like him too, we can compete fairly. You don’t have to hide it, it’s disgusting.”

Wen Tong finally felt a little normal after hearing Lin Zhiwen’s tone. She turned her head to look at Lin Zhiwen and whispered back, “I just think… Gu Chenyue likes me.”

Immediately, Lin Zhiwen’s face turned dark.

She also sensed it.

So Zheng Wantong was showing off?

Lin Zhiwen sneered in her heart and didn’t say anything else.

Naturally, Wan Tong didn’t speak either.

However, she didn’t expect that her words would lead to so many things.

In the following days, Lin Zhiwen continued to act like a good sister with Wan Tong, walking home together after school, but she never brought up the topic of Gu Chenyue.

There are monthly exams in the past few days, and after the last subject in the afternoon was handed in ahead of schedule, Lin Zhiwen seemed to be in a good mood, and even dragged Wan Tong around the school gate.

Wan Tong cooperated with her and finally passed an alley.

Hearing some noise coming from inside, Lin Zhiwen immediately pulled Wan Tong to the side and peeked into the alley.

There were several boys in school uniforms inside, and the most obvious one was Gu Chenyue.

Several classmates lay on the ground next to him, and a bruised and swollen boy handed him a black wallet, tremblingly saying, “All the money is in there…”

As soon as Gu Chenyue took it, Lin Zhiwen rushed out and said, “Gu Chenyue, you’re bullying classmates again!”

Gu Chenyue turned his head, impatiently glancing over, but when he saw Wan Tong a few steps behind Lin Zhiwen, his lips twitched slightly. He then threw the wallet to the thinnest and weakest looking boy in the corner, coldly saying one word, “Scram.”

At this point, the boys around him, including the small and skinny one in the corner, were all frightened and quickly fled.

Gu Chenyue ignored Lin Zhiwen and walked straight ahead.

Lin Zhiwen stood in front of him and even held his hand. “Gu Chenyue, if you need money, then— Ah!”

Before she could finish her sentence, Gu Chenyue forcefully shook her hand off and she stumbled backwards, colliding with Wan Tong.

Gu Chenyue was momentarily stunned, but after glancing at Wan Tong, he didn’t say anything and walked away from the alley.

After his figure disappeared, Lin Zhiwen finally spoke to the silent Wantong, “Tongtong, Gu Chenyue extorts people all day long. Be careful not to catch his attention.”

As she spoke, she also observed Wan Tong’s expression. When she didn’t nod in fear or agreement as she usually did, Lin Zhiwen’s heart skipped a beat, and then she was overcome with anger.

“Wan Tong, I have something to do tonight, so I won’t walk with you,” she said, turning around and chasing after Gu Chenyue’s figure.

As she watched Lin Zhiwen’s back, Wan Tong sighed inwardly. Lin Zhiwen had deliberately shown her the scene of Gu Chenyue “extorting” his classmates just now to make her develop a psychological shadow towards him.

If it were the original owner, after today’s events, she would have been scared stiff by Gu Chenyue and would definitely not dare to mention him again.

However, Wan Tong knew that although Gu Chenyue was a bit fierce and rough, he had a good heart and would not actively harm his classmates.

Therefore, she knew that there must have been a misunderstanding in what happened just now.

Wan Tong quietly followed them.

As expected, after catching up to Gu Chenyue, Lin Zhiwen started explaining, “Gu Chenyue, sorry about earlier, I misunderstood you. It turns out you were saving that freshman, I want to apologize to you…”

At this, Wan Tong remained silent.

However, Gu Chenyue ignored Lin Zhiwen the entire time.

Wan Tong didn’t follow them and instead walked towards the bus stop.

A few days later, a shocking piece of news suddenly spread on the school forum.

Someone had uploaded a recording, but it was only a girl’s voice, and she only said one sentence.

The sentence said, “I just think… Gu Chenyue likes me, it’s so disgusting.”

This post quickly became popular, and it turns out that there was a girl in the school who was so narcissistic that she thought Gu Chenyue liked her!

It’s important to note that almost all the girls in the school have had a crush on Gu Chenyue at some point, but due to his cold arrogance and violent tendencies, he scared off most of his pursuers. However, there were still people who were not willing to give up on him.

Soon, the identity of the girl in the recording was exposed.

It was Zheng Wantong from Class 20 of senior year.

Jinhui Nightclub.

Lin Zhiwen: ‘Gu Chenyue, don’t blame Tongtong, she’s just a bit sensitive and too timid.’

When Gu Chenyue received this message, he didn’t know what had happened.

But soon he found out.

He was a well-known figure on the school’s bulletin board. Even attending a class would spark a discussion of more than a dozen posts.

But recently he has been going to school more often, so it has become commonplace.

And today, the post that went viral was about him, and also about Zheng Wantong.

“I just think… Gu Chenyue likes me, it’s so disgusting.” The girl’s crisp voice, mixed with disgust and fear, repeatedly came out from the phone.

Gu Chenyue seemed to be torturing himself, not knowing how many times he had forced himself to listen.

He was so familiar with her voice.

He knew she was afraid of him, and in the past, she didn’t even have the courage to look at him.

But he didn’t expect that she would hate him to this extent.

Wan Tong knew about the post because of Shishi’s reminder.

But by then, the post had already become popular, and it was useless to delete it.

From the moment Wan Tong entered the school on Monday morning until the end of the noon class, there was a continuous stream of people coming to the classroom to see her.

Some people were purely curious, while others came to mock and ridicule.

“Gu Chenyue is here!”

Someone called out from outside the corridor, and the people on both sides quickly made way.

Gu Chenyue walked in from the back door of the classroom, and everyone instantly became quiet and moved aside in unison.

Wan Tong sat in the innermost row of the classroom, in the middle.

When Lin Zhiwen saw Gu Chenyue come in with a dark face, she didn’t rush to go over and give him the cold shoulder. Instead, she got up and went to the side to watch the show.

Judging from Gu Chenyue’s appearance, Zheng Wantong probably wouldn’t be well.

Obviously, there were many people who had the same idea as Lin Zhiwen.

Many people secretly took out their phones to take pictures, but when Gu Chenyue swept a glance at them, they quickly put them away.

Wan Tong leaned on the desk and just stood up when Gu Chenyue spoke up, “Come out with me.”

The excited and suppressed voices around them continued. What exactly did Gu Chenyue mean? It didn’t seem like he was here to settle scores.

Under the gaze of everyone, Wan Tong followed Gu Chenyue out of the classroom and up to the rooftop.

Standing in front of the iron door, Wan Tong found it hard to take a step forward. The recording was something Lin Zhiwen had manipulated through the system, and no matter how she tested it, it was still her voice. Later, facing Gu Chenyue, she wouldn’t be able to explain herself.

That sentence was really hurtful, and she was afraid that Gu Chenyue wouldn’t be able to control himself and hurt her.

After taking a few steps away, Gu Chenyue came back to her, grabbed her wrist and pulled her up onto the rooftop, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.

Wan Tong’s face collided with his chet, and her nose quickly turned red.

She tried to shrink her hand back, but Gu Chenyue tightened his grip even more and pushed her body against the iron door behind her.

With a loud “bang,” the hollow metal door made a loud impact.

It was very loud, but Wan Tong didn’t feel any pain.

Through the closed door, the students who were observing the situation at the stairs were startled and quickly stepped back.

“F*ck, he wouldn’t really hit a girl, would he? Should we inform the teacher?”

“The teacher won’t care about what Gu Chenyue does. Besides, he only hits girls on the face, he wouldn’t actually hurt them.”

“Well, Zheng Wantong asked for it. She usually acts like a good girl, but why did she say that one thing and got it spread online…”

“Ugh, it’s too scary. Didn’t Zheng Wantong just recover from a car accident? I’m afraid she’ll end up in the hospital again if this happens.”

…

In the crowd, Lin Zhiwen furrowed her brow and asked the system, [045, what happened on the rooftop?]

[System cannot provide detailed information.]

Every time when it comes to these non-original plot details, the system always gives this kind of answer, which has annoyed Lin Zhiwen.

At this moment, Wan Tong’s back was against the iron door, and in front of her was Gu Chenyue’s tall figure, with her hands held behind her back by his palms.

This posture was really unfriendly to her.

She was completely in a disadvantaged and suppressed position.

Gu Chenyue’s other arm was slightly bent, with his elbow resting on the door, and the iron door made another dull sound.

“Is it because of what happened in the alley that day? Or is it because I hit someone?” His voice was gentle, but it sounded very heavy in Wan Tong’s ears.

Wan Tong roughly guessed what he was asking, but didn’t know how to respond, so she asked in a trembling voice, “Why do you ask?”

“Gu Chenyue likes me, it’s so disgusting?” He read it word by word, his black eyes were dull and lifeless, with a hint of oppression.

Wan Tong quickly shook her head and said, “No, I didn’t say that…”

Because she was too anxious, her eyes were slightly red with extreme grievances.

“How did you say it then?”

“I…” Wan Tong took a deep breath. “I just think that Gu Chenyue likes me…”

After a pause, she added, “I didn’t say it was disgusting.”

Gu Chenyue’s thin lips moved slightly, and his black eyes were already tightly locked on her. “Don’t you think it’s disgusting?”

Wan Tong vigorously shook her head, her eyes also filled with eagerness. Her eyes were filled with mist, as if she would cry in the next second.

Suddenly, Gu Chenyue let go of her wrist. After she relaxed, his face suddenly approached her a little, and the hot breath between their breaths was sprayed on her face. “What if I did something disgusting to you?”

Wan Tong couldn’t keep up with his thoughts and looked at him blankly. “What disgusting thing?”
