Chapter Thirty-Nine Topic

"What did you say? Sister?" Tang Shi's loud voice pierced Su Xun's ears and startled him at the same time.

"Keep your voice down." Su Xun made a shushing gesture.

With people coming and going at the restroom entrance, it was no surprise that Tang Shi's voice was heard by everyone. Before she could utter anything shocking, Su Xun quickly stopped her.

Last time, Tang Shi was scared away by Jiang Ce's look, but her curiosity only grew stronger.

After enduring it for an afternoon and an evening, he came to find Su Xun the next day after morning reading.

"What's going on? I thought Jiang Ce was going to confess to you." I was almost scared to death that day, thinking that one of the two of them had offended the big devil of the grade. Later, I realized that things were not going well and then I realized what was going on.

When did Su Xun get involved with Jiang Ce? Why didn't her good friend hear a word about it? The more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed. Her gossip-loving soul was burning brightly within her, and she came looking for him as soon as class ended today.

Su Xun felt helpless as he recalled what had happened yesterday. He patiently explained the subsequent events to Tang Shi in detail.

When Jiang Ce said that she resembled his younger sister and he wanted to be friends with her, Su Xun thought she had misheard. The atmosphere was okay, no one was bothering them, and Jiang Ce's expression was quite deceptive; anyone would have thought it was about confessing their feelings.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ce used the most ambiguous tone to say the purest words.

So the two exchanged QQ accounts and became online friends from the same school.

Lying in bed that night, Su Xun thought about what had happened during the day and suddenly found it all ridiculous. She thought she was about to receive her first confession of love and had even planned how to reject it. But then things took an unexpected turn, leaving Su Xun questioning the meaning of life.

After hearing the rest of the story, Tang Shi shared the same thoughts as Su Xun.

What kind of ridiculous move is this?

Confused, his large eyes were filled with great doubt.

Tang Shi: "I didn't expect Jiang Ce to be so interesting."

He rubbed his forehead.

Su Xun, being the person involved, had already processed the matter and was still relatively calm.

"However, many people saw what happened yesterday. I guess people in this grade think that Jiang Ce and you are having an affair."

Tang Shi cast a worried look at him again.

After the onlookers were driven away yesterday, the news spread. Since most of the people at the scene yesterday were from their regular classes, not many of the good students in Building A knew about it, but it had already spread throughout Building B, and the girls who liked Jiang Ce were heartbroken.

This was explosive news for them: a notorious troublemaker in the entire grade had openly blocked a good student from Building A on the road and even gave him milk candy.

This is just so adorable, it's absolutely irresistible!

Then things were gradually demonized.

Thinking of this, Tang Shi spoke with difficulty, "Su Xun, everyone has been talking about what happened between you yesterday, and there are already several versions circulating."

Su Xun: ? ? ?

Tang Shi was always well-informed and told Su Xun the stories she had heard.

Jiang Ce was a bully in his grade, habitually smoking, fighting, and challenging teachers' authority at school, arrogant and disrespectful. However, he fell in love at first sight with Su Xun, a well-behaved student who listened to the teachers. He secretly inquired about Su Xun's preferences and, upon learning she liked White Rabbit milk candy, began buying her candy every few days. Jiang Ce planned to confess his feelings to Su Xun after winning the basketball game, so he trained day and night, even having Su Xun's best friend, Tang Shi, drag her to watch the game. And that's how this happened.

Su Xun didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

In just one night, things have turned out like this. Just how vivid are people's imaginations?

Wait, something seems off!

"Tang Shi, why did you appear in the story too? They don't know that I was taken there by you."

Tang Shi's expression immediately changed, and she gave an embarrassed dry laugh.

"Haha, maybe our sisterly bond is so strong that even our classmates can see it."

Su Xun: "Don't try to fool me, tell me the truth."

Seeing Su Xun's expression that seemed to have guessed everything, he had no choice but to obediently reveal his hand, his hands hanging at his sides, his head bowed low, looking as if he had done something wrong.

"Hehe, actually, I was also involved in this story." The voice trailed off.

She should have known this long ago; the image of Tang poetry as a loudmouth was deeply ingrained in her mind over the years, and Su Xun couldn't help but rub her forehead.

"Su Xun, are you angry? Oh, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."

"I'm not angry, I just have a bit of a headache." Su Xun wasn't really blaming her, but it was indeed a bit troublesome that everyone was imagining things like this.

"Then I'll go and explain to everyone now that you're innocent." Tang Shi sensed the worry in Su Xun's tone and wanted to make amends.

Su Xun: "No need. There was nothing between Jiang Ce and me to begin with. I guess everyone is just curious. They'll forget about it after this period of time."

She didn't want to complicate things further; she just wanted the matter to pass on its own.

Seeing that Su Xun insisted, Tang Shi didn't say anything more.

The person feels guilty right now.

In the following days, Su Xun was surrounded by people in the dormitory asking about her relationship with Jiang Ce. She always replied that they were not close, thus stopping them from continuing to gossip.

Sometimes when she's walking around school, people will glance at her from afar and think, "Look, this is the girl the big shot has his eye on."

Su Xun pretended not to see it. As long as he didn't have too much contact with Jiang Ce, people would naturally realize over time that there wasn't much going on between them.

Sometimes Su Xun found it funny. He used to envy those people who were the center of attention, wishing he could be noticed too. Now that he was the subject of everyone's conversation, he felt a headache coming on.

Since this incident, everyone has remembered Su Xun as a well-behaved girl who was liked by bad students, and people often gossip about Su Xun in private.

Then, they gradually discovered a shocking truth: Su Xun was just so adorable!

She has fair skin, a small oval face, and a pair of bright, clear eyes that look like pure crystals, yet upon closer inspection, seem to hide tiny hooks that make one's heart itch. She is so petite and speaks softly, which evokes a protective instinct in people from the bottom of their hearts.

Those claims that the top students in good classes are all greasy-haired monsters with glasses thicker than beer bottles are clearly lies. Just look at how many people in Class Two have proven that statement wrong.

There was already the exceptional Pei Ke, then there was the ageless goddess with the first love face Gan Tang, and the proud peacock-like Song Lisha with an annoying personality who shone brightly on stage.

Now we have another little white rabbit, Su Xun.

The key point is that they are all top students, consistently ranking in the top 20 of their grade.

What an amazing class Class 2 of Grade 8 is!

Thus, Su Xun successfully became a prominent figure in his grade.
