Gu Yi'an's gaze was particularly complicated as he carefully put away the note: "Boss, if you're not in a hurry, I'll give it to you after the first get out of class."
He Xiao considered how annoyed Lin Yue would be with him, and without making things too difficult for her, he nodded.
"Fine, whatever you want, just give it to me today."
Gu Yi'an breathed a sigh of relief, then thought of something else and asked hesitantly, "Boss, do you... usually browse the school forum?"
"Campus forum?" He Xiao was slightly taken aback, not understanding why Gu Yi'an suddenly brought this up.
He knew the school had such a forum, but he didn't usually read it. The posts were all very boring. At first, He Xiao was interested, but after a while, he stopped logging in.
I heard they held a campus beauty pageant on it a few days ago?
Haha, utterly boring.
"Yes, you've been secretly photographed and posted online again. There are a lot of people talking about you now, and I guess most of the freshmen know you by now," Gu Yi'an said.
He Xiao said calmly, "It's not like I haven't been called out before, what's with your reaction?"
He's used to being secretly photographed; he used to see himself all the time on the platform, and that's how his reputation as a school bully spread.
Now everyone is afraid of him, and even girls dare not approach him, which has alleviated a lot of his troubles.
He Xiao didn't reject it and let it develop, so when he heard Gu Yi'an say this, he didn't feel much.
Gu Yi'an had a hard time explaining: "But this time it wasn't just you, Yue-jie was also dragged into it. They're spreading rumors that you and Yue-jie are dating, and that Yue-jie transferred to our school because of you."
Damn it, these people are really bored and have nothing better to do. Brother Xiao and Sister Yue are clearly siblings! What kind of eyes do they have?
He Xiao's brows furrowed suddenly, his nonchalant attitude vanished, and his eyes turned cold.
"show me."
Gu Yi'an quickly opened his phone and showed the post to He Xiao. The post had been trending for several hours and had already been upvoted by thousands of comments, so it was easy to find.
He Xiao calmly finished reading, his brows furrowing more and more. Finally, he gave a cold laugh, handed the phone back to Gu Yi'an, and turned to leave.
Gu Yi'an was taken aback and quickly followed He Xiao's footsteps. He secretly observed his boss's expression, which seemed to be filled with coldness, and his face was more stern than ever before.
He knew that his boss was angry, and quite seriously so. He had originally wanted to say a few words of comfort, but now he didn't dare to. He could only keep his mouth shut and follow Brother Xiao to the Academic Affairs Office.
...
The glances and whispers about her never stopped in the class. Even after Wang Zhiqin was told the truth, few people in the class believed her.
Shen Linyue had gone from being bothered at the beginning to being calm now. Instead of caring about what others thought of her, she decided to memorize a few more ancient poems or mathematical formulas.
As I was reciting ancient poems with my eyes closed, a voice rang out from the open back door.
"Who in your class is named Lin Yue? The academic affairs office is looking for you."
Shen Linyue suddenly opened her eyes and looked back. The person who delivered the message was a boy of medium height. After saying those words, he ran away.
She wanted to ask a few more questions, but she didn't get a chance. She felt uneasy, vaguely sensing that the registrar's office calling her over wasn't a good thing.
Perhaps the teachers heard about the post from this morning?
As Shen Linyue stood up with a heavy expression, she caught several gazes falling on her. The gazes quickly looked away after she looked over. Shen Linyue forced a smile, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
She just went to the academic affairs office this morning to enroll, and now she has to go again. She's so stressed out. Who could be more unlucky than her?
At this moment, she really wished He Xiao were by her side, at least he could offer her some comfort.
With somewhat heavy steps, she arrived at the innermost teaching affairs room on the first floor.
As soon as they knocked and entered, He Xiao's figure appeared before them, with Gu Yi'an standing next to him.
Shen Linyue was taken aback. "Ah Xiao?" He was here too?
He Xiao and Gu Yi'an both heard her voice and turned around at the same time. Gu Yi'an was the first to put on a simple and honest smile.
"Sister Yue, you're here? Come in quickly and don't be afraid. The boss is here to stand up for you."
Shen Linyue tilted her head in confusion, as if she understood something.
"You asked the teacher to delete that post?" Then what was the purpose of calling her here? Was it to have her explain her relationship with He Xiao?
As she was pondering, the academic affairs director greeted her with a smile, "Lin Yue, we just met this morning. Come in, it's alright."
Shen Linyue snapped out of her daze, her gaze instantly clearing as she put on a polite smile: "Hello, Director."
"Well, actually, I called Lin here to ask how your first day of school went?" the director said kindly.
Shen Linyue's gaze swept over He Xiao, and seeing that his expression remained calm and unchanged, she knew that the director had not called her for anything serious, and she felt relieved.
"It's great, the students at your school are very enthusiastic." Talk about enthusiasm! They were already gossiping about her and He Xiao the moment they enrolled.
The director's smile froze slightly, and he chuckled, "I'm sorry to have upset Lin. I've already had someone take care of the forum post. Oh, by the way, here's your meal card. I was going to give it to you in your class, but since you're here now, I don't need to go there."
Shen Linyue's eyes lit up, and she quickly took the meal card, her smile becoming more genuine.
"What are you saying, Director? You could have just asked me to come. Thank you, Director. You've worked so hard."
The director seemed pleased with what she said and smiled at He Xiao: "The management of the forum was delegated to a few students in the class by the teachers, so we teachers were unaware of this matter. Fortunately, He Xiao came to remind us and stopped it in time, preventing a more serious impact. We teachers should thank you."
He Xiao: "It is because of your keen insight, Director, that you believe Lin Yue and I are innocent. If my father knew, he would be very pleased and would have been very pleased to have sent us to Taipei High School. It was the right thing to do."
The director's eyes darted around, and a few more wrinkles appeared on his face: "President He trusts us, so we certainly won't let him down."
Listening to He Xiao and the director's back-and-forth praise, Shen Linyue raised her eyebrows several times.
I never expected He Xiao to be so good at manipulating people's psychology, in addition to his sharp tongue. I didn't realize my eldest son had such abilities.
She couldn't help but look at him with newfound respect; he wasn't as useless as she had imagined, he was actually quite clever.
"Could you ask the director which students are on the management forum?" He Xiao asked.
The director paused, "What do you need this for? We'll have to ask a few teachers about it. How about this, I'll go ask them for you this afternoon."
He Xiao nodded: "Thank you, Director. I just don't want to disturb your rest next time. I can just ask a classmate to help me delete it."
The director's expression softened. He thought to himself that although the future head of the He family seemed unreliable on the surface, he was still quite tactful in his speech.
As expected of someone from a wealthy family, even when he's acting like a spoiled brat, his inherent nobility and rationality remain.
"Okay, then you guys go back to class first. I'll ask and have the class teacher bring it to you."
"Thank you," He Xiao said.
