4:00 p.m. sharp.
During the reading study class, two girls walked out of the reading room in the old teaching building and headed towards the girls' restroom.
The toilet on the floor where the reading room of the old teaching building is located is not big. Apart from the sink for washing hands outside, there are only four places in the women's toilet. Fortunately, they are all independent in style.
The two girls walked into the restroom but had no intention of going to the restroom. They seemed to be a little tired of the quiet atmosphere in the study room and wanted to come out and chat for a while.
"Hey, there's some gossip recently, have you heard it?"
A short-haired girl leaned on the white porcelain plate next to her and asked her female companion.
"What gossip?" Her companions looked confused.
"You don't even know this, but many people in the class know this, even people in the next class know this."
"What's the matter? Tell us quickly, don't keep us in suspense." The companion was completely aroused by the short-haired girl and urged her to tell him the gossip she knew.
"That's it..." The short-haired girl said as she turned her head and looked around the women's restroom twice before finally speaking mysteriously to her companions.
"Do you know Mo Jingchun from our class and that cool transfer student?"
"I know," the companion nodded. "They have two pretty faces, but one has a weird temper and the other has a cold temper. What's wrong with them?"
"I heard...they've been dating recently." The short-haired girl put one hand around her mouth and excitedly whispered to her companion next to her.
"What?" His companion was shocked. "Although these two sit at the same table, how can they get along with each other with such temperaments?"
"You don't understand this," the short-haired girl said, looking very knowledgeable. She reached out and patted her companion's shoulder. "It's called the attraction between eccentrics. Besides, one of them is handsome and the other is beautiful. Many people in the class are fans of this couple."
"Is this true?" The companion was a little skeptical.
"Then I don't know. Anyway, a lot of people have been spreading it recently, and I'm fine, so there's no need to lie to you."
"Let's not spread this uncertain thing." The girl who was traveling with us shook her head.
"What's the big deal?" the short-haired girl said dismissively. "There are so many girls in the class who would still sneak a peek at Mo Jingchun. If that girl from Class 304 hadn't confessed her feelings to him and been ruthlessly rejected, she'd probably be cursing that transfer student right now."
"Besides, gossip is just for fun. Who cares if they are really good or not?"
"Okay then," the girl who was traveling with her nodded. She glanced at her watch and found that it was almost time, so she pushed the girl with short hair out of the bathroom.
About two minutes later, the door of the toilet closest to the inside was opened, and Jiang Li walked out with a pale face.
Not long into the reading class, Jiang Li felt a cramp in her lower abdomen. Although she was still a little unfamiliar with it, it happened a few times every month, so Jiang Li had experience in dealing with it. So she calmly took a few clean tissues and went to the bathroom.
Just as she was about to push open the bathroom door and leave after enduring the pain and cleaning her lower body, she happened to meet two classmates who came to the bathroom to chat.
Jiang Li originally had no intention of listening to people's idle chatter, but the following words forced her to stop.
Jiang Li leaned against the plastic partition, quietly listening to the conversation between the two people outside.
Things have been strange lately, and Jiang Li can feel it.
As her relationship with her deskmate Mo Jingchun grew closer, people began looking at them with ambiguous eyes.
After listening to what the two girls said in the toilet, Jiang Li realized that when Teacher Liu came to talk to him not long ago, it was not just a simple concern for him. He was afraid that the rumor had already started to spread before.
Due to her menstrual period, Jiang Li's face was pale and her movements were much smaller. She walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, and washed the stains on her hands with the rushing water.
Jiang Li stared at his hands blankly, his almond-shaped eyes seemed to remember something.
After a heavy sigh, Jiang Li left.
…………
"What do you think Old Liu wants to see us for?" Mo Jingchun still looked nonchalant, holding a piece of wild grass he had picked up from somewhere in the school in his mouth, and his school uniform was still worn crookedly.
Jiang Li didn't say anything, but just walked forward silently.
"It's almost time for school to end this afternoon," Mo Jingchun kicked the stone in front of him away and turned to look at Jiang Li. "Why don't you call Xu Fan later and I'll show you my strength."
Jiang Li still didn't speak. She lowered her head slightly, and her long black hair covered half of her face, making it impossible for Mo Jingchun, who was right next to Jiang Li, to see the latter's expression clearly.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Mo Jingchun smelled a strange smell and reached out to grab Jiang Li's arm.
Jiang Li stopped, turned around, frowned, and looked at Mo Jingchun with his black eyes.
Jiang Li's eyes seemed to have regained the indifference that Mo Jingchun had when he first met her.
Mo Jingchun was stunned and subconsciously let go of the hand that was holding Jiang Li's arm.
"Teacher Liu is still waiting for us."
Jiang Li sighed and said to Mo Jingchun.
Afterwards, Jiang Li ignored Mo Jingchun and walked forward on her own. Although Mo Jingchun was puzzled, he had no choice but to catch up with her.
After a while, the two of them appeared at the door of Teacher Liu's office together. Before they could report in, Teacher Liu walked out of the office and invited them to a small empty meeting room.
"Why did Lao Liu look for us?"
Mo Jingchun found a seat at random and sat down, then asked Teacher Liu in front of him.
"Be serious, Mo Jingchun, I have something serious to tell you two."
Teacher Liu put away his usual gentle tone and spoke to Mo Jingchun, who was sitting opposite him, with a serious expression.
Mo Jingchun shrugged without saying anything, but turned his head to the side and looked at Jiang Li beside him.
"You should know that premature love is not allowed." Teacher Liu looked at the two people opposite him. One of them nodded nonchalantly, and the other had a pale face and no expression.
"Last week, some rumors were circulating in class. I didn't believe them, but since this week, they've spread more and more. Not only do people in my class know about it, but even quite a few people in the neighboring classes know about it."
"No," Mo Jingchun interrupted Teacher Liu, "What does that rumor have to do with us?"
"Don't you know?"
Teacher Liu was a little surprised, but Mo Jingchun's eyes were clear and he really didn't seem to know about this matter. On the other hand, Jiang Li, with an expressionless face, seemed to know something.
"Let me be frank," Teacher Liu shook her head. "Lately, rumors have been circulating in class that you two are dating. I wanted to come talk to you two right now. Is this true?"
