But what Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo never expected was that before they could find out who was behind the trouble, the person behind the scenes jumped out first.
As soon as the first class started the next day, a group of teachers were standing at the classroom door.
Ye Chaoran recognized the principal in the crowd at a glance. He was talking to a leader next to him. As if he noticed Ye Chaoran's gaze, the principal looked in his direction.
Ye Chaoran's eyelids twitched slightly, and he suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong.
"Brother Jiang..."
"Ye Chaoran, Jiang Xunmo, the two of you come out for a moment." An unfamiliar teacher suddenly spoke, looking at the two people in the back row of the classroom.
Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo's expressions changed at the same time.
The whole class looked over.
"What's going on?"
"Why haven't you seen this teacher before?"
"Brother Jiang, why did I ask you to go out?" Fu Xin in the front row asked in a low voice.
Ye Chaoran pursed his lips and said nothing.
Jiang Xunmo lowered his voice and said to him, "It looks like someone from the Education Bureau. Send a message to your uncle and aunt. I'll go out first."
Ye Chaoran's pupils shrank slightly.
Jiang Xunmo patted Ye Chaoran's shoulder gently: "Don't worry."
Ye Chaoran nodded, and while the teacher outside was not paying attention, he quickly took out his cell phone and sent a message to Ye Pei.
Jiang Xunmo was the first to walk out of the classroom.
The principal in charge knew Jiang Xunmo and gave him a soothing smile: "Student Jiang, don't be nervous. We called you out just to ask a few questions."
After saying that, the principal looked at the leader beside him and introduced: "This is Jiang Xunmo."
Ye Chaoran followed Jiang Xunmo out.
The principal introduced: "This is Ye Chaoran."
The leader of the Education Bureau nodded and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, we just want to ask a few questions."
The principal said, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to the office first."
A group of people came in a mighty procession and left in a mighty procession.
When Teacher Wang received the news, he rushed to the office immediately.
When she opened the door, she saw the leader of the Education Bureau in the office at a glance. Teacher Wang secretly thought that something was not good.
"Principal, is there something you want me to do?" Teacher Wang walked to Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo, and protected the two students behind him without leaving any trace.
Seeing her nervous look, the principal couldn't help but say, "It's nothing. The leaders just came to ask a few questions. Don't be nervous."
How could Teacher Wang not be nervous?
If the school leaders came to question her, she would not be afraid at all, but this time the people who came were from the Education Bureau!
The inspection of their school for this semester has already ended, and the fact that the Education Bureau came looking for people without even saying hello means that someone skipped the school and reported the matter directly to the Education Bureau!
Looking at the two students who were called over, Teacher Wang knew what the leader would ask him later without even asking.
Teacher Wang pursed her lips, turned around and lowered her voice to Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo, "Don't be afraid of what I'll ask you later." After that, she made a mouth shape and said, "Leave it to me."
Ye Chaoran had already guessed why the Education Bureau came to find them. He was not really worried, but he was still very grateful to see Teacher Wang defending them so much.
Ye Chaoran nodded.
Teacher Wang felt a little relieved.
She turned to look at the leader of the Education Bureau and asked with a smile, "What do you want to ask? You can ask me, the class teacher, first."
The leader of the Education Bureau saw that everyone was present, and without wasting time, he asked straight to the point: "This is the situation. We received a report from a classmate that two students in our school's Grade 12 Class 1 are in love. I would like to ask Teacher Wang, do you know anything about this situation?"
Teacher Wang's eyes widened in shock after hearing this. He looked bewildered and asked, "Dating? Who's dating whom? How come I don't know? When did it happen?"
When Ye Chaoran saw Teacher Wang's expression and tone, he instantly thought of the look on Teacher Wang's face when he asked him confidently in the office yesterday.
If he hadn't experienced Teacher Wang's interrogation yesterday, he would have believed it.
The leader of the Education Bureau saw that Teacher Wang did not look like he was faking it, and was stunned for a moment before continuing, "Don't you know about this either?"
Teacher Wang's expression didn't change at all: "I don't know, who is it? Could it be related to Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo from our class?"
The leader of the Education Bureau had no choice but to say: "The report we received was that these two students... were in a relationship."
Teacher Wang pretended to be shocked, his pupils seemed to shrink, and his voice rose several degrees: "How is it possible?! They are the first and second in our grade!"
There is really no trace of performance at all!
Education Bureau leader: “…Ahem.”
Ye Chaoran, Jiang Xunmo: "..."
Teacher Wang seemed to be afraid that the leader would not believe him, so he immediately turned around and looked at Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo: "Are you two in love?"
Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo said in unison: "No!"
Teacher Wang was instantly relieved and quickly looked at the leader of the Education Bureau: "Leader, this must be a misunderstanding. I know the two children in our class and they also denied it. This is definitely impossible."
The leader of the Education Bureau was speechless and could only look at the principal beside him.
The principal is almost mad at Teacher Wang! But it was difficult to expose him, so he could only put on an expressionless face. Seeing the look on the face of the Education Bureau leader, he quickly said, "Teacher Wang, don't worry, we'll ask more questions. And the leaders didn't come here to make a judgment on the matter immediately, they have to ask questions first!"
What this means is that they will not jump to conclusions, so Teacher Wang should not rush to deny it.
Otherwise, fake ones will be misunderstood.
Teacher Wang understood what the principal meant and was no longer in a hurry, but the traces of performance on his face did not disappear immediately. She frowned slightly, looked at Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo worriedly, and then said, "I know, I just think it's unlikely. If you told me that other students were in love, I would believe it, but you know Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo, their grades have never dropped."
The principal nodded and smiled again, looking at Ye Zhaoran and Jiang Xunmo: "Don't be anxious or afraid, just answer truthfully whatever I ask you."
Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo looked at each other, and Ye Chaoran spoke first: "So someone reported to the school that Jiang Ge and I were...in love?"
Ye Chaoran was still a little shy when talking about these three people in front of so many teachers and leaders of the Education Bureau.
The principal nodded: "So can you tell us what is going on?"
Before Ye Chaoran could speak, Jiang Xunmo said calmly, "We are not together."
Ye Chaoran's Adam's apple slid, and he nodded: "Well," he repeated, "We are not together."
Although it’s almost like being together, but if the relationship is not confirmed, then you’re not together!
The principal didn't say anything.
The leader of the Education Bureau stared at the two people's expressions and said in a slightly more serious tone: "Students, we came here because we received solid evidence of the report, so you can't lie to us."
Jiang Xunmo curled his lips imperceptibly when he heard this: "Evidence? Then may I ask, teacher, can we see the evidence?"
The principal immediately looked at the leader of the Education Bureau.
The leader of the Education Bureau nodded to his colleague, and the man took out a document from the folder and handed it to Jiang Xunmo and Ye Chaoran.
Jiang Xunmo opened it and saw that the stack was full of photos, most of which were photos of Jiang Xunmo and Ye Chaoran.
Ye Chaoran also came over to take a look, and when he saw one of the photos, his expression changed slightly.
Jiang Xunmo's hand that was flipping through the photos paused for a moment, and he took out this photo alone.
This stack of photos were all taken secretly, and this photo is no exception. However, the angle at which this photo was taken is extremely tricky, so the picture presented is very easy to cause misunderstanding.
Ye Chaoran stood in the corridor outside the classroom, his hands on the railing and his head slightly tilted back. Jiang Xunmo stood right next to Ye Chaoran, with his head down and speaking to Ye Chaoran in a low voice.
If you look from the front, you can clearly see that even though the two people are very close, there is still a distance between them.
But this photo was taken from the front at an angle, and from this angle, the two people's heads are almost touching.
It's like a kiss!
Ye Chaoran's heart skipped a beat.
Although it was inappropriate, he really had a moment when he thought the photo was very well taken.
Especially Jiang Xunmo in the photo.
The boy's hair on his forehead had grown a little longer. The setting sun fell on him, making his eyebrows and eyes look even deeper. His tall nose was hidden in the shadow of Ye Chaoran's hair, and the last bit of gap between the two was filled.
It really feels like a kiss!
"These are the photos submitted by the whistleblower." Jiang Xunmo asked.
The leader of the Education Bureau nodded.
If they hadn't received this stack of photos, they wouldn't have wanted to make this trip.
But looking at the two exceptionally calm students in front of them, the leaders of the Education Bureau couldn't help but begin to doubt, could it be that they really made a mistake?
Jiang Xunmo said: "This photo should have been taken in mid-September."
The principal looked at Jiang Xunmo in surprise.
Do you remember the date of the kiss so clearly?
Could it be that they are really together?
Then the next second Ye Chaoran said, "Yes, it should be September 13th, Friday, after the second class in the afternoon, Jiang Xunmo and I were chatting outside the classroom when we were secretly photographed."
Teacher Wang couldn't help but feel frightened when he heard this.
I still remember hearing both of these clearly!
These two brats are pretty brave!
Just when Mr. Wang was thinking about how to get around it, he heard Jiang Xunmo calmly say -
"But we weren't kissing. This photo was taken at a coincidental angle. Can I request to retrieve the corridor surveillance footage from that day?" Jiang Xunmo put away the photo. "I remember that our class had surveillance cameras in front and behind the classroom, which happened to be able to clearly see every move of Ye Chaoran and I."
Teacher Wang never expected that Jiang Xunmo would actually suggest adjusting the surveillance footage on his own!
Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously wanted to say forget it. Ye Chaoran also said, "Yes, Principal, adjust the surveillance."
The principal felt as if his heart was clenched!
Do these two brats know what it means to adjust the surveillance?
Regardless of whether the two of them are really in love, the leaders of the Education Bureau came here today just for the sake of formality.
If nothing is found, that would be best.
Even if they really find out something, the biggest punishment is just a minor demerit.
Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo are their hopes for this year's college entrance examination. Both the Education Bureau and the entire No. 1 Middle School will definitely do their best to protect these two children!
But these two people are unwilling to make a big thing into a small thing, and they want to make a big deal out of it!
What surveillance are you adjusting?
The leader of the Education Bureau was also shocked when he heard what Ye Zhaoran and Jiang Xunmo said, but he was more patient than Teacher Wang and the principal. He asked, "Do you know what it means to adjust the surveillance?"
Jiang Xunmo said: "Of course it is to clear our name."
There was silence in the office.
Teacher Wang also came to his senses now. Looking at the calm expressions of Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo, could it be that the photo was really taken with a substitution?
The principal also responded quickly.
It seemed that he had worried for nothing.
Seeing that the leaders of the Education Bureau were silent, the principal said, "Why don't we check the surveillance? Leaders, it's rare for you to come here, so we have to get to the bottom of it. Plus, they both stated the time so clearly, so if it's really a misunderstanding, it'll be good to clear their names."
The leader of the Education Bureau did not hesitate and nodded in agreement.
Soon, subordinates followed the school staff to the monitoring room to check the surveillance.
Teacher Wang pulled Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo to sit on the sofa nearby.
She wanted to say something, but when she caught a glimpse of Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo, each calmer than the other, she suddenly felt that her worries were unnecessary.
"Drink some water." Teacher Wang went to get two bottles of water for the two of them.
The two thanked him.
Ye Chaoran unscrewed the water and took a sip, but Jiang Xunmo suddenly looked at the leader of the Education Bureau and asked, "Teacher, can you tell me the identity of the whistleblower?"
The Education Bureau leader said without thinking, "Of course not." After a pause, he looked at Jiang Xunmo and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Xunmo squeezed the mineral water bottle in his hand and said in a cold voice: "To be honest, I have found a lot of rumors about me and Ye Chaoran in the school during this period."
The leader of the Education Bureau's expression changed slightly: "What do you want to say..."
"I suspect the person who spread the rumors behind our backs is the one who reported us," Jiang Xunmo said calmly, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I have already contacted my lawyers, and they will investigate and then sue this person in court."
All the teachers in the office looked over instantly.
Sue?
Are you that serious?
Could it be that they really had wronged them?
The principal was also stunned for a moment. He looked at Teacher Wang and asked, "Are there a lot of rumors in the school recently?"
Teacher Wang suddenly thought of what she had heard two days ago. Her face changed slightly. She was about to answer, but then she thought of what she had just said.
Can’t let the secret out!
Teacher Wang quickly said, "I'm not sure. I've been very busy recently. Principal, can you ask other teachers?"
How could the principal not understand what Teacher Wang meant? He quickly stood up and went out to make a phone call.
After asking this question, I found out that many teachers had heard these rumors.
Jiang Xunmo said calmly: "That's perfect, then these teachers will all be witnesses."
The teacher who went to check the surveillance also came back at this time.
There was a projector in the principal's office, and two surveillance videos from different angles were played together.
The surveillance cameras in No. 1 Middle School are updated every year, and both the image clarity and sound capture can be heard clearly.
In the picture, one can occasionally hear the sounds of students playing, hurried footsteps, and the conversation between Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo in the corridor.
Ye Chaoran leaned on the railing and looked up at Jiang Xunmo: "Brother Jiang, do you have any plans for National Day?"
Jiang Xunmo tilted his head to look at Ye Chaoran: "No."
Ye Chaoran smiled instantly: "How about we go on a trip?"
The National Day holiday is the last long vacation for this class of high school students except for the winter vacation, and Ye Chaoran doesn't want to waste this rare vacation.
So that day in the corridor, Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo were discussing where to go during the holiday.
As they were chatting, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the corridor. Ye Chaoran was not paying attention and dust got into his eyes. He immediately squinted his eyes and tears flowed out.
Jiang Xunmo lowered his head and lifted Ye Chaoran's face without even thinking about it, slightly pried open his eyes, and rubbed them for him.
It's a very intimate action, and a little ambiguous.
But apart from this action, there is nothing else.
The video is very clear and the sound and picture are synchronized.
Soon Ye Chaoran's eyes opened slightly, but Jiang Xunmo was still worried, so he took Ye Chaoran's arm and walked into the classroom, saying as he walked: "Go back to your seat first, I'll buy you some eye drops..."
The video ends here.
Ye Chaoran pursed his lips and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xunmo.
Why do both of them remember it so clearly?
Of course, there is a special reason for this day.
Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo made a five-day and four-night travel plan for them that afternoon.
This is the first time that Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo go out to travel together, and Ye Chaoran has been looking forward to it for half a month!
The leaders and teachers from the Education Bureau were silent after watching the video.
Teacher Wang and the principal were extremely pleased.
Not bad, not bad.
We didn't talk about anything that shouldn't be talked about.
I didn't do anything I shouldn't have done.
"It seems like it was just a misunderstanding!" Teacher Wang looked at the principal with a smile.
The principal also nodded and smiled, "Yes, that's what I said. These two students are the best students in our senior year. How could they be in love?"
Teacher Wang also nodded in agreement: "They know their limits."
Having watched the surveillance video, what else do the leaders of the Education Bureau have to say?
But there was one thing that puzzled him: "Why did such a rumor suddenly appear on campus?"
If there is only one student spreading the news outside, it will not be credible.
But the problem now is that many teachers in No. 1 Middle School know about this.
Jiang Xunmo said, "That's why I said that someone was deliberately spreading rumors about me and Ye Chaoran. My lawyer is already investigating, and we'll be able to find out who's behind it by this afternoon at the latest."
First spread rumors in school and then reported it to the Education Bureau.
This practice is so vicious!
The leaders of the Education Bureau also came to their senses.
It turned out that they were being used as guns!
He looked worried and had a few more questions: "Is this person a student of the school? Did he have a feud with you guys before?"
Just at this moment Jiang Xunmo's cell phone rang. He took out his phone in front of everyone and looked at the message.
"I found it." Jiang Xunmo handed the phone to Ye Chaoran.
Seeing the familiar name, Ye Chaoran frowned.
Teacher Wang also came over to take a look, and his expression changed instantly: "Lin Bai! What on earth does he want to do?!"
The principal felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
"I had just transferred to No. 1 Middle School and was not familiar with the environment here, so I didn't perform well in every exam. After I finally adapted to the environment, I told Ye Chaoran that I would rank second in the grade in the next monthly exam." Jiang Xunmo explained to the leaders of the Education Bureau.
"But other people probably heard this and spread it. Lin Bai didn't believe that I could get second place in the grade, so he mocked me on the school forum and even boasted that if I really got second place in the grade, he would call me dad."
When the principal heard the word "Dad", his eyelids twitched and he knew who Lin Bai was.
"What then?" asked the Education Bureau leader.
"Then Brother Jiang really ranked second in the grade, but Lin Bai and his group were not convinced, so they ran to the door of our class to pick a fight. After that, there were some conflicts and disputes between the students in our two classes," Ye Zhaoran continued, "So he probably had a grudge against the two of us from that time on."
The leader of the Education Bureau sighed.
Conflicts easily arise between students. He turned around and told the principal to handle the matter properly.
In his opinion, things should be avoided if possible.
The principal agreed to all of them.
What he was thinking in his heart was indeed that he had no control over what his students thought. Especially Jiang Xunmo, he is the son of the Jiang family.
The matter had been thoroughly investigated, so the leader of the Education Bureau did not stay long. Before leaving, he solemnly apologized to Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo.
Ye Chaoran said it didn’t matter.
Jiang Xunmo said, "By the way, teacher, can you give me those photos?"
The leader of the Education Bureau was stunned: "Photos?"
Jiang Xunmo nodded: "My lawyer may need it later when he files a lawsuit."
These photos cannot be given to anyone casually.
He said, "If you need to sue someone in the future, have your lawyer contact the Education Bureau."
Jiang Xunmo took note of it.
He had to get his hands on these photos.
For no other reason than these photos are so well taken!
Especially that kissing scene!
It has to be said that in some aspects, Jiang Xunmo and Ye Chaoran reached a high degree of agreement.
The leaders from the Education Bureau left, and the principal followed them out to see them off.
The office suddenly became empty. Teacher Wang was just about to say something to the two of them when a familiar figure appeared at the office door.
Ye Chaoran's eyes lit up and he waved: "Dad! You're here!"
Jiang Xunmo: "Uncle Ye."
Ye Pei walked over quickly, greeted Teacher Wang, and then looked at Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Ye Chaoran smiled: "It's been solved, nothing more."
Jiang Xunmo also said, "It's okay."
Ye Pei obviously didn't believe it.
After receiving Ye Chaoran's message, Ye Pei immediately left the people in the office behind and rushed to the school, even running two red lights along the way.
It was obvious that Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo didn't look like anyone was in trouble, so he put his heart at ease.
Since the parents were already here, Teacher Wang didn't need to talk to the two students anymore, so he said to Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo, "That's perfect, you two go back to class first, I'll talk to the parents."
Ye Pei nodded and waved for them to go back to the classroom.
Ye Chaoran and Jiang Xunmo left the office.
Ye Chaoran asked Jiang Xunmo: "Are you really going to sue Lin Bai?"
Jiang Xunmo nodded: "The lawyer has almost prepared the evidence and will go to the court today."
Ye Chaoran didn't say anything else.
After delaying a whole class, the two returned to the classroom and were quickly surrounded by the crowd.
"Ye Zhaoran, what's going on? I heard that it was the leader of the Education Bureau who asked you to come over?"
"Are you two okay?"
"Could it be that your affair has been discovered?"
Ye Chaoran felt his face turn red when he heard this.
What could possibly happen between him and Jiang Xunmo?
But now that there are so many people around, they can't really not explain.
what to do?
Tell the truth?
Or should he just take this opportunity to clarify that there is nothing going on between him and Jiang Xunmo?
When Ye Chaoran was still hesitating, he heard Jiang Xunmo say, "The Education Bureau leaders came to us because someone reported that Ye Chaoran and I were in love."
The whole class was in an uproar.
"Fuck!"
"Which bitch did this?"
"Are you okay?" Zhang Qi and Fu Xin were both very worried.
Jiang Xunmo said calmly: "It's okay, we have explained it clearly to the teacher, Ye Chaoran and I are not together."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this: "Not together?"
"Ah, what we heard before..."
Ye Chaoran blushed: "Fake."
Jiang Xunmo nodded: "Yeah," but the next second, he changed the subject, "Although we are not together now, we will definitely be together soon."
This sentence was like a thunderclap, instantly causing an uproar in the class.
Ye Chaoran was stunned for several seconds before he realized that his face was starting to get hot.
Does Jiang Xunmo know what he is talking about? ! !
The author has something to say:
I'll give out red envelopes one by one.
