"What a joke! I didn't bring it with me. I just wanted to tell you that you are so casual in accusing others. What are you going to do if you can't find the math book in my schoolbag?" Lan You said calmly.
"Let's find it first." Lin Yan said confidently.
It's impossible not to find it.
But Lan You refused to let her find it. Lin Yan's face tightened. "Are you admitting you lied?"
"You can come and check, but if you can't find it, you must apologize to me in front of the whole class." Lan You said sternly.
"I apologize to you? Impossible." Lin Yan thought it was ridiculous.
Lan You suddenly snatched the schoolbag away. Lin Yan couldn't help but say excitedly, "You're feeling guilty. You're scared."
Seeing Lan You's unwavering attitude, Lin Yan became a little anxious. She was very sure that the math book was in her schoolbag and it was impossible for her to not find it.
Maybe Lan You was using this to play psychological warfare on her and make her back off.
The more Lan You does this, the greater her chances of winning.
"Okay." She had no choice but to say.
"I think everyone has heard that Lin Yan wants to apologize to me." Lan You announced loudly.
Lin Yan's face turned slightly ugly. "Can you let me see it now?"
Lan You gave it to her without hesitation. Lin Yan couldn't wait to look for it for a few days, turning her schoolbag upside down, but still couldn't find the math book. "Impossible, this is impossible."
There was no book in the table or on the surface. Lin Yan stared angrily at Lan You, who showed no concern at all, and said firmly, "You must have hidden your math book."
Lan You chuckled, "You said I hid it, so why don't you find it? What's the point of just saying it?"
Lin Yan was furious. It was as if Lan You knew what she was going to do and blocked all her paths. Looking at Mo Junyao sitting next to her, she suddenly had an idea, "Did you hide the book with classmate Mo?"
Lan You's eyelashes drooped slightly. She didn't expect that Lin Yan was so smart. After hearing this, Mo Junyao weighed the schoolbag with his hand. It was indeed a bit heavy. His stern eyes fell on her.
Feeling his realization, Lan You guessed that he already knew. Considering his temper, she was not sure whether he would expose her.
"With Mo Junyao's personality, will he let me hide?" Lan You looked calm on the surface, but he was still panicking inside.
"That's hard to say." Lin Yan retorted.
"Then go find it." Lan You said indifferently.
Lin Yan looked at Mo Junyao so close and felt a sense of fear for no reason. But when she thought that the math book was probably with him, she mustered up the courage to say, "Student Mo, I want to check your schoolbag."
As he was about to reach out, Mo Junyao's stern eyes suddenly swept over, and his gaze finally landed on Lan You, "I don't like people touching my things."
Lan You felt a slight chill on her back; she recognized that this was Mo Junyao's warning.
Being rejected, his face turned ugly, "Mr. Mo, are you protecting Lan You?"
"I don't want to repeat it a second time." Mo Junyao said impatiently.
Lan You understood his implication. He didn't like anyone touching his things, so he naturally wouldn't cover up for her. Of course, that didn't include her putting things in without his permission. He didn't expose her. Was this a good thing or a bad thing?
Her companions were all trying to persuade her, "Lin Yan, why don't you just forget about it. We all know Mr. Mo's personality."
Lin Yan listened, but she was unwilling to give up. She even started to get angry. "Why should we just let it go? I don't understand why we should be afraid of him when he's just an illegitimate child?"
These words caused many people to think deeply.
As Lin Yan was speaking, she was about to rummage through Mo Junyao's schoolbag. Mo Junyao was about to take action when Lan You got there first.
Lan You grabbed her wrist and looked at her sternly. "Let's not talk about whether Mr. Mo is an illegitimate child or not. Even if he is, so what? Is this something he can decide? Don't think you are superior. Which of the famous people, Confucius, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing, was not an illegitimate child? You are just relying on your family background to bully others. What is there to brag about? If you have the ability, show your ability."
"You guessed right. I put the math book in Mr. Mo's bag without his permission. He didn't know about it. You, Lin Yan, know exactly why I lied to the teacher." Lan You no longer concealed it, but said it frankly.
This shocked everyone, especially Mo Junyao, who looked at her in astonishment.
Why did she do that?
Lin Yan couldn't believe she confessed so easily. After a moment of surprise, Lin Yan couldn't help but say, "She admitted that she lied. She lied on her first day here. Who would dare to believe what she says in the future?"
Lan You doesn't care what others think of her. The worst that can happen to her is to apologize to her math teacher.
The classmates around her pointed fingers at her and she thought the matter was over.
Mo Junyao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up. "Since everyone is so curious about this matter, I think it's necessary to let everyone know the whole story. At noon, someone climbed over those ancient trees from outside. He didn't enter the school, but was on the wall..."
Lin Yan's smug smile gradually froze on her face. Could it be that Mo Junyao saw it?
She said hurriedly and frantically, "Stop talking."
Everyone else looked at her strangely, and she explained guiltily, "This isn't anything good. Let's all go away. Actually, Lan You's matter is just a small matter. There's no need to make a big deal out of it."
It was she who kept chasing after him, and now it was she who said there was no need to pursue the matter. Although everyone felt strange, they all dispersed.
Lan You propped her chin on her hand and stared at him, "I put something in your bag without your permission, and you're not angry anymore?"
Mo Junyao kept a straight face and said nothing.
"I didn't expect you to speak for me just now." Lan You said in surprise.
She thought he would continue to watch her die without helping, but she didn't expect that the sound of his voice would scare Lin Yan away.
Mo Junyao's face flashed with an unnatural expression, and he said awkwardly, "I just told the truth."
"You don't have to explain, I understand." Lan You said as if he understood.
Mo Junyao himself didn't know why he wanted to intervene in this matter. Maybe... maybe it was because of what she said just now. Why did she... do this?
"Why... did you say that just now?" he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"What do you mean?" Lan You looked confused.
"That's it..." Mo Junyao talked for a long time but couldn't say it. It was the first time someone defended him.
"Nothing." He said calmly.
