When Letang returned to the classroom, the bell had already rung for ten minutes.

Fortunately, this class was a class meeting and everyone was discussing the activity of shooting a campus micro-film, so no one noticed Letang sneaking in from the back door.

Except for Liu Sijia who was sitting at the table in front of him.

Liu Sijia approached him with a gossipy look on her face and asked in a low voice, "Did you really chase after Fu Xueshen just now? Did he say anything to you?"

Letang rested his chin on the table absentmindedly: "What can I say?"

If he had a pair of rabbit ears at this moment, they would definitely have drooped down.

"That's it... that audio!" Liu Sijia felt guilty, her voice getting lower and lower as she spoke, but she was very excited, and her face, hidden by the huge black glasses, was a little red. "What did Fu Xueshen think after listening to it? Did he say anything to you?"

Letang was still struggling with whether or not to pursue Fu Zhixu, but after hearing what she said, he realized, "Didn't you send me that audio? You weren't trying to embarrass me on purpose, were you?"

Liu Sijia was stunned for a moment.

In their eyes, Letang is thoughtful and introverted. He doesn't like to show off or talk to others. He has no friends and is unwilling to join small groups. He always keeps to himself, as if he is the most special one in the class and no one else is worthy of talking to him.

In the past, when people bullied Letang and tried to trip him up overtly or covertly, he would never say anything. He would just endure it silently and would not defend himself. He pretended to be noble and didn't care about them.

Liu Sijia hadn't expected him to question her so bluntly this time, and instead felt a bit bewildered. "What nonsense are you talking about! It's clearly your fault that your headphones were of poor quality, and it's not my fault that Fu Xueshen accidentally heard it!"

"You deliberately chose to send it to me when he was collecting the papers. If you didn't have that kind of intention, you could have sent it at another time, right?"

Le Tang frowned. He had just traveled through time when the incident happened, and his mind was a little fuzzy, so he had overlooked many details. But now thinking carefully, he quickly came to his senses.

"How could a schoolgirl like you have this kind of audio? Listening to such unhealthy content during school hours, and even sharing it with others, is really wrong!"

After all, Letang is an adult who has entered the society. When facing Liu Sijia, who is still a student, he couldn't help but use a preaching tone.

After hearing this, Liu Sijia did not feel ashamed. Instead, she thought Letang was crazy.

That's right. Otherwise, how could this person have the audacity to rush to talk to Fu Zhixu after what happened? If it were someone else, they might have transferred to another school long ago!

Liu Sijia rolled her eyes and turned away, ignoring Letang.

However, Letang didn't want to end the topic like this, after all, he still had something to ask Liu Sijia.

He had to determine which stage of the novel he was currently in.

Because he remembered clearly that there was an important plot point about him in the novel. If it was before this plot, it meant that he could still restore his image in Fu Zhixu's mind and he still had a chance to pursue Fu Zhixu.

If that plot had already happened, then he...

Just as he was about to reach out and pat Liu Sijia on the shoulder, he heard the class monitor on the podium announce, "Then the male lead will be played by Fu? Is everyone okay with that?"

"No!"

Amid the jeers of the whole class, Fu Zhixu, who was chosen as the male lead, walked up to the podium calmly, took the stylus from the class monitor, turned around and wrote his name on the blackboard.

These three simple words flow smoothly, and it is obvious that the author has practiced calligraphy since childhood.

Letang fell again, supporting his face with his hands and staring blankly at Fu Zhixu's back.

"Then let's start the voting for the female lead."

People called out their names one after another, mostly nominating others, and among them, the class beauty Ning Ruotong received the most votes.

Letang also heard Lin Nuo's name, and his voice was no less loud than Ning Ruotong's.

After all, it was an old, melodramatic novel, and the white moonlight in everyone's mind must have gone abroad. So if he remembered correctly, Lin Nuo should still be abroad at this time, and would not return until they were about to graduate.

Sure enough, I heard someone next to me joking, "Lin Nuo is still abroad. Are we going to ask him to fly back to act in a movie?"

"Why not? Chartering a plane is just a matter of a word from Master Fu!"

And it was precisely because Lin Nuo went abroad that the original owner thought he had an opportunity to take advantage of, and did many things that imitated others during this period of time, naturally including that important incident, which led to an irreversible situation.

Letang felt a little nervous.

His current situation is too passive. Before he figures out exactly where he is, he'd better not act rashly.

That's the theory...but...

While counting the votes, the monitor asked, "It seems Ning Ruotong has the most votes right now. Does anyone else want to volunteer to challenge her?"

Everyone was joking, but everyone knew that Lin Nuo would not be coming back, and they had basically agreed to let Ning Ruotong play the leading female role. Ning Ruotong was also ready to go on stage.

Just then.

A slender white arm was raised.

If you look closely, you can easily see that the fingertips of that hand are still trembling slightly, as if hesitating and retreating. But soon, as if making some kind of determination, it is raised firmly.

The classroom, which was originally in the midst of a heated discussion, suddenly became quiet, and dozens of eyes were focused on Letang's thin body.

The others obviously didn't expect Letang to be so presumptuous. Even the squad leader was stunned for a moment.

The squad leader quickly glanced at Fu Zhixu's reaction next to him and saw that he had a cold face and cold sweat on his back.

"Uh..." He chose to ignore Letang without hesitation, as if he didn't even notice him, his eyes wandering to other places, "Is there no one else?"

However, Letang still did not put his hand down, and even waved it vigorously in the air, thinking that the squad leader simply did not see him.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have close contact with Fu Zhixu! He doesn't want to give up just like that!

Campus micro-movies are so youthful, beautiful and pure. That is a privilege that belongs only to the ivory tower and can never be returned to after entering the society... Just thinking about that scene, Letang couldn't help blushing and his heart beating fast.

Seeing that the monitor still ignored him and the opportunity was about to be lost, Letang stood up from his seat without thinking.

The noise was so loud that the squad leader was startled. It was hard for him to pretend not to see it, so he whispered, "Oh my god."

Liu Sijia looked at him in disbelief and murmured, "He's really crazy..."

Letang's face turned red, but he looked at Fu Zhixu on the podium with a determined look.

"I want to try it."

Fu Zhixu stared at the figure standing out of place in the classroom, threw the stylus on the podium, and sighed softly.

The squad leader closest to him immediately sensed the impatience in the room and quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "We're choosing the female lead, so guys, please stay out of this."

The whole room burst into laughter.

Letang didn't care and stubbornly asked back, "Then why did so many people recommend Lin Nuo just now? He's a boy too."

But what followed was even more unbridled laughter.

"Just you?"

"Can you compete with Linnobi?"

Letang turned around and happened to meet the gaze of Kitano Ji who was sitting next to him.

He leaned lazily on the back of the chair, spinning a pen with one hand boredly, and looked at Letang with his head tilted, not trying to hide the contempt and disgust in his eyes.

"You did that, and you are worthy of the name of Tilinor?"

Letang stood there, feeling as if a poisonous snake was wrapped around his neck and he couldn't breathe. His ears were filled with the sound of everyone's laughter, buzzing and making him feel dizzy.

"Knock knock."

"Are you discussing a short film? You look so happy?"

Sister Jing, the head teacher and physics teacher, was standing at the door at some point, and the knock on the door temporarily interrupted the atmosphere in the classroom.

She pointed at Letang who was standing there and said, "You are the only one in the class who didn't hand in the paper. What happened?"

It was the test paper that Fu Zhixu had collected during recess. He was the physics class representative. Le Tang realized belatedly that he had been so engrossed in Fu Zhixu's beauty that he had completely forgotten about the test paper.

I quickly took out the paper and ran to the head teacher: "Sorry, teacher, I forgot to hand it in just now."

Sister Jing glanced at him and said, "Come with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."

"Oh, okay."

Letang followed her obediently and stopped in an empty corner of the corridor.

Sister Jing got straight to the point: "Your grades have been declining significantly lately. You should focus on your studies. After all, you're an honors student. If you fall out of the top ten, you might face expulsion. It's best to focus on your studies."

Letang lowered his head and nodded, pretending to be well-behaved and obedient, but he actually didn't take the matter to heart.

After all, he was confident in his learning ability. It was the original owner whose grades dropped, not him.

Sister Jing looked at his head and sighed. She knew that what she said just now was a bit harsh, so she slowed down her tone:

"The teacher has contacted the administrator to delete that forum post."

Letang's heart skipped a beat.

--forum post.

There's a crucial plot point in the original novel about the original owner, and it's also the turning point where he reveals his hostile identity for the first time. After that incident, he completely fell out with Lin Nuo and offended everyone because of it.

There is a forum within the school where students and teachers can post messages, whether it is a discussion about study or a chat about daily life. Many people even use it to chase stars on campus. For this purpose, the administrator has also enabled a popularity voting function, and the top ten people who are mentioned the most times in the forum will be on the list.

Of course, for someone like Fu Zhixu, who has a good family background, good academic performance and handsome looks, his name naturally tops the list all year round, leaving the second-placed Kitano Ji behind by hundreds of points.

Lin Nuo's ranking was originally fluctuating outside the top five, but suddenly one day it soared, surpassing the second-placed Bei Ye Ji, and the number of times he was mentioned was close to that of Fu Zhixu, who was ranked first, and there was even a trend of surpassing him.

However, the topics discussed in these posts all originated from an anonymous post.

The anonymous post was simple and crude, with little text, just screenshots of the chat. There were many screenshots, but the central idea was this: Lin Nuo appeared harmless, but in reality, he was a heavy smoker and alcoholic, changing men more often than he changed clothes.

The most explosive part of the post is a candid photo that the poster claims shows Lin Nuo and a foreign man cuddling and heading to a couple's hotel. Although the photo only shows two blurry figures, and there's no definitive proof that one of them is Lin Nuo, it's difficult to remain rational when people are watching gossip, and public opinion is largely one-sided.

Some people even made a melon plate, analyzing in detail the evidence of Lin Nuo's multiple relationships, involving Fu Zhixu and Bei Ye Ji. The number of likes on the post exceeded 10,000 overnight.

Of course, the anonymous post was deleted in less than a day, and it was found to be the work of Letang. Those so-called screenshots of Lin Nuo's flirting were photoshopped, and the secretly taken photo was also faked by Letang. The compiled evidence was directly published by the administrator and pinned to the top of the forum homepage.

The post that Sister Jing deleted should be this pinned post.

But who else could have caught Letang so quickly and ruined his reputation if not Fu Zhixu?

Honestly, the original owner's approach wasn't particularly clever, and she underestimated Fu Zhixu's ability to act. This incident ultimately became a major issue, even making the news. Many parents, upon learning of the incident, wrote to the principal questioning the existence of "excellent students," and the original owner was pushed to the brink of expulsion.

In the end, it was Lin Nuo, who was far away in a foreign country and learned the whole story, who pleaded for him, and the original owner was able to stay.

When he saw this part, Letang even criticized Lin Nuo as a white lotus. But now that he puts himself in her shoes, he actually admires her a little.

Although he had the power to change the fate of others at will, Lin Nuo chose to save him.

Perhaps for people like them, there are countless bright paths to choose from besides studying, but for the original owner, this school is an opportunity that he can only barely reach by trying his best.

If it weren’t for the coincidence of numbers, Letang felt that he would fall in love with Lin Nuo.

Gentleness and kindness are also a surefire way to win...
