Her nonchalant tone instantly made Lin Yan panic. She suddenly raised her voice and asked, "Lan You, what do you mean by that? Are you saying I'm lying?"
Lan You looked helpless, "Mr. Lin, don't get so excited. People who don't know me might think I was right."
"You..." Lin Yan's face changed drastically with anger. She looked around and saw that the expressions of other classmates when they looked at her had changed, as if they all thought she was lying.
"Lan You, stop slandering me." Lin Yan could only bite the bullet and save her face.
"Don't worry, I haven't finished what I'm saying. Although you can't tell from your walking, it's dancing after all. If your foot is injured, it will definitely affect your performance. We all understand."
Lan You looked so considerate that he really confused the other students.
"Although I didn't have the chance to see you dance today, I heard that you dance so well. You will definitely make a stunning appearance at the National Day Gala and win honor for our class."
Lan You gave her this compliment, and someone immediately burst out laughing, as if mocking her. "Lan You, where did you hear that? Lin Yan didn't even attend the National Day Gala."
"How could that be? Isn't it said that she dances very well?" Lan You pretended to be confused.
"Who said she dances well? She's not even as good as you." This classmate was impatient and immediately said something unfavorable to Lin Yan. Lin Yan immediately got anxious and ran towards her as if she was going to hit her, and said excitedly:
"How am I inferior to her, Lan You? Say that to me again."
The classmate immediately became intimidated, lowering his head and not daring to speak. The class monitor quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Lin Yan, don't be impulsive."
Lin Yan pointed at her nose and cursed, "Don't think that just because you're the squad leader, I won't dare do anything to you. Get out of my way, or I'll beat you too."
Lan You quickly stepped forward. After all, this incident was caused by her. "Lin Yan, does your attack mean you're guilty?"
Lin Yan's attention was immediately diverted. "Who said I was guilty? I already told you my leg isn't fully healed yet, so I can't dance today. I, Lin Yan, can't lose to you, Lan You."
No one dared to speak now. Lin Yan was well-known for her bad temper in the class, and no one dared to offend her easily.
The female teacher watched the situation get out of control and said majestically, "This matter ends here."
"Impossible, Lan You, in a week, when my foot is completely healed, I will compete with you." Lin Yan couldn't help but say.
"Okay, no problem, you're welcome anytime." Lan You said casually.
"Come and see who is stronger between me and Lan You." Lin Yan left angrily after saying this.
During the break, Mi Tanhua took the initiative to talk to Lan You, "Hello, Lan You, my name is Mi Tanhua."
"Class monitor, I know you." Lan You had a good impression of the girl in front of him.
"Just call me Epiphyllum from now on, but you danced really well just now. If you could transfer to our school earlier, maybe you could even participate in the National Day Gala." Mi Epiphyllum said sincerely.
"Those things are time-consuming and laborious, I don't want to participate." Lan You replied casually.
Mi Tanhua's face was a little disappointed. Lan You then realized that his attitude was too hurtful, so he added, "Class monitor... Tanhua, what I mean is that my focus is still on studying. Besides, it's too late for me to join now."
"It's okay." Mi Tanhua glanced at her, as if hesitant to speak, but Lan You saw through her.
"Just say whatever you want to say."
"Lan You, there are some things I don't know whether I should say. You may say that I am meddling in other people's business, but I still can't help but say that since you came to this school, Lin Yan has been targeting you everywhere. I have seen it all, but you have fought back every time. You are really brave, but... I am afraid that she will only target you more. She... her background is not simple either, so I hope you can get along with her in peace, for your own sake and for this class." Mi Tanhua looked at her nervously.
Lan You frowned, his tone revealing a hint of indifference. "Team Leader, I'm sorry, I can't promise you. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. I can't let her bully me."
Mi Epiphyllum was very good at observing people's expressions and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Lan You, you...just pretend I never said that."
Lan You listened to Mi Tanhua's words, but she simply couldn't do it.
After the dance class, Lan You planned to go to the cafeteria alone. An Yuexi followed her with her head down. She noticed something was wrong and quickly turned around to look at her, and her eyes met hers.
An Yuexi felt a little guilty after being discovered and turned back suddenly. Lan You called her, "An Yuexi, where are you going?"
"I...I'm going back to the classroom." She paused slightly and spoke incoherently.
"You're not going to the cafeteria to eat. Are you planning to eat outside Hai City No. 2 Middle School tonight..." Before Lan You could finish her words, An Yuexi rushed towards her, as if afraid of being overheard. She covered her mouth and said nervously, "Stop talking."
Lan You pulled her hand away and said in confusion, "It's just some noodles, what's the big deal?"
An Yuexi wanted to cover her mouth again, but Lan You seemed to know it in advance and stopped her, looking helpless.
"You're really addicted to covering it up, aren't you? An Yuexi, do you know what the most embarrassing thing is? It's not that people know you eat noodles outside No. 2 Middle School, but that you simply don't dare to face this fact." Lan You deliberately lowered her voice.
An Yuexi's eyes immediately turned red, and her voice was choked with sobs. "I don't need you to lecture me. You don't understand at all."
"I...I really don't understand." Lan You said in a shameless tone.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Why are you following me?" Lan You asked sharply.
"I...I didn't." An Yuexi looked flustered and nervous.
"You're not suited to lying. I'm not blind, so I knew you were going to the cafeteria. But after I found out, you pretended to go back to the classroom. Am I right?"
An Yuexi suddenly lowered her head.
"Tell me, what are you following me for?"
"I...I want to thank you for helping me out in the dance class. You dance really...really well." An Yuexi said gratefully.
"What's that?" As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed the look of inferiority and depression on An Yuexi's face, and she couldn't help but have the urge to commit suicide.
Are people with low self-esteem all this sensitive? She just said something casually, but it seemed to hurt the other person.
She really didn't want to have anything to do with An Yuexi, but she didn't forget An Yuexi's kindness.
She sighed, "You don't have to take this matter to heart. I just want to put a damper on Lin Yan's arrogance. You still remember what we said at the noodle shop that day, right?"
