The three of them quickly came out of the director's office.
Gu Yi'an was the first to breathe a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face: "It has to be the boss, he resolved the matter in just a few words."
Then, remembering something else, he said indignantly, "Once I find out who's managing the forum, I'll give them a piece of my mind. They can't just let anyone's gossip go unchecked."
He Xiao glanced at Gu Yi'an and said coldly, "I didn't ask this to warn them."
He suspected that someone was deliberately framing him and Lin Yue.
The title of that post, in particular, was provocative. Who could Lin Yue have offended on her first day at the new school? Even if the two of them were sitting together, how could she be falsely accused of being in a relationship? It's outrageous.
Therefore, he suspected that someone was setting him up, and that Lin Yue was the victim.
He definitely has to give her an explanation for this. If Lao He finds out, he'll get another verbal lecture.
Gu Yi'an's eyes lit up, realizing something: "So you want to find out who posted this?"
After saying that, he realized it was unlikely and hesitated, saying, "How could the administrator know who posted the message?"
He Xiao glanced at him sideways, "No, I just want to know who the administrators are."
Gu Yi'an was completely bewildered. Could this matter be related to the forum administrator?
After listening, Shen Linyue couldn't help but glance at He Xiao. At this moment, the young man's gaze was calm and his face was expressionless. At this moment, he seemed to overlap with He Liyu.
This must be the real He Xiao, right? He possesses the composure of He Liyu, and even his feigned politeness towards the director is exactly the same.
Thinking of these things, a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips, just as He Xiao's gaze swept over, and her smile inexplicably froze.
Sure enough, He Xiao asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Shen Linyue: ...
"Haha, can we go back now? By the way, did you get the answer to the math problem you asked me?" She chuckled awkwardly and changed the subject.
Upon hearing the words "math problem," He Xiao's gaze fell on Gu Yi'an.
Gu Yi'an was still pondering the meaning behind his boss's words when he met his boss's eyes, his eye twitched, and he suddenly said, "Solve it! I'll solve it right now!"
Shen Linyue thought Gu Yi'an was calling her, but the next second she saw him take out a familiar note from his pocket, and her awkward smile disappeared.
Her gaze slowly fell back on He Xiao: "Is this how you give me the answer?"
He Xiao didn't see any problem with it, shrugged and said, "Isn't it the same who solves it? Let's go back."
Shen Linyue watched his dashing figure, her teeth practically grinding together. She temporarily retracted her earlier praise of him; this was his true nature!
It seems this level of effort isn't enough to make He Xiao pick up his studies again.
Her gaze returned to Gu Yi'an, "Next time, you are not allowed to agree to help He Xiao solve his problems."
Gu Yi'an: "...Okay."
It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I won't let you, hehe.
...
The two returned to the classroom one after the other. The homeroom teacher, who had appeared on the podium at some point, glanced at them with a serious expression and then continued speaking before finishing what he had been saying.
"If you put your gossipy mindset into studying, you might even improve your exam score by one or two points. Are you just idle all day long? You dare to talk nonsense without knowing the truth."
"If you're free, I'll have your teachers assign you more homework and see if you still have the time to meddle in other people's business."
The classroom was silent; no one dared to speak, and no one dared to look in their direction after the two entered.
Shen Linyue also noticed this, unsure whether it was because of Teacher Zhao's remarks or something else, but none of that mattered to her. She glanced at He Xiao, who was already lying on the table beside her, ready to sleep.
She pondered for a moment, then quickly scribbled something on a draft paper and handed it to He Xiao.
He Xiao lifted his head from his arms and glanced at her gently. "Is something wrong?"
Shen Linyue gestured for him to look at the draft paper, and He Xiao looked down and saw a row of neat small characters.
Do you have any doubts about your target?
He Xiao raised an eyebrow, his dark eyes looking at her with a half-smile. Seeing her still pondering, he raised his right hand and wrote the word "hmm" on her draft paper.
Shen Linyue rolled her eyes after just one glance. "Can't you just nod and say 'hmm'?"
Does it need to be written down? My son's thought process is completely different from hers.
“Oh, I thought you needed this kind of ritual,” He Xiao said with a smile.
Shen Linyue: ...
"Do you suspect... that he's setting us up?" She leaned closer to He Xiao, pointing forward under the desk.
There were seven people in front of them in this row, and Jiang Zhixing happened to be sitting at the very front.
To be honest, Shen Linyue also had doubts about Jiang Zhixing, because he and He Xiao had a grudge against each other and would fight to the death from time to time.
Besides that, there's only the female supporting character left, but the only female supporting character she knows is Qiao Hanshuang. Qiao Hanshuang loves He Xiao and would never do something so detrimental to herself.
There is also a girl who admires He Xiao, but she doesn't know his identity yet. It's unlikely that she would turn her love into hatred just because of a few encounters, right? The probability is too low.
Perhaps she was lost in thought, but Jiang Zhixing, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly turned to look at them. His eyes were deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to read his emotions.
He Xiao looked back indifferently, his posture lazy and even a little provocative.
Jiang Zhixing glanced at him indifferently, then quickly looked away.
Lost in thought, Shen Linyue didn't notice this scene. Seeing that He Xiao didn't reply to her for a long time, she couldn't help but nudge his arm.
"The fox will show its tail sooner or later, no rush." He Xiao's expression was weary, and his tone was flat.
Shen Linyue: ...I really hate people who are mute or deaf.
Even biological children are no exception; couldn't we just tell her directly? Why pull this whole stunt?
She wanted to roll her eyes, but seeing that He Xiao really looked sleepy, she didn't continue to make things difficult for him.
Before leaving, Old Zhao glanced at their location, but ultimately said nothing and went on his way.
The afternoon always seemed to pass the longest. It wasn't until after the second class that Shen Linyue finally turned her attention back to her textbook.
Rubbing her sore eyes, she prepared to go to the bathroom, looking at He Xiao, who had been sleeping since she returned.
Shen Linyue really wondered what he did every night. Didn't he sleep? He was catching up on sleep at school every day.
She didn't rush to ask for clarification; after leaving the classroom, she went straight to the restroom.
Until she came out of the restroom and encountered Qiao Hanshuang and her group, Shen Linyue thought: ?
"Good afternoon, Sister Qiao," Shen Linyue greeted them, seemingly unsurprised by their appearance.
Qiao Hanshuang took a closer look at the pretty young girl in front of her. Her eyes were clear, her face was open, and her tone was calm and unhurried.
"Well, I just want to clarify something, nothing else. Shall we talk?"
Shen Linyue blinked. "About me and He Xiao?"
Qiao Hanshuang's eyes were very serious. "Yes, I like He Xiao."
Shen Linyue was taken aback by Qiao Hanshuang's direct approach. After a moment of stunned silence, her eyes filled with laughter.
She tilted her head slightly, looking very troubled, which made Qiao Hanshuang's heart tighten, fearing that she would reveal that she had that kind of relationship with He Xiao.
Seeing the flicker in her eyes, Shen Linyue knew what was wrong with her. Her smile widened, and she slowly said, "This... but I'm just He Xiao's aunt. You're telling me all this because you want to...?"
