Chapter 54: Diverting the trouble
Wen Yubai was choked and speechless, but he still retorted: "Is the positioning of the watch so clear? What if it is just an approximate range?"
"Besides, it wouldn't be fair to just check me. You have to search everyone near me, right?"
Indeed, no matter how precise the positioning was, it would be impossible to accurately locate his desk. However, the desk next to Wen Yubai's was Xiao Jingyao's desk.
Who dares to touch Xiao Jingyao's things?
No one dared to speak.
Luo Xin stopped eating potato chips because of Wen Yubai's words. She was so shocked!
"How dare you speak..."
At this time, her close deskmate, another sister with pigtails, also joined the group of gossipers. "It's hard to say. After all, the forums are saying that Wen Yubai is the only exception for Xiao Shao."
"In my opinion, Bai Yu did it on purpose."
Luo Xin directly retorted, "So what? Wen Yubai doesn't look like a good person."
Ye An could see that the two sisters were still in opposition, one was on the Wen party and the other on the Bai party.
Ye An just wanted to know what would happen next.
According to the original novel, it was naturally the male protagonist Xiao Jingyao who came late, and then said it was up to you, whoever dared to search could search.
As a result, no one dared to step forward.
At this time, Wen Yubai blushed and wanted to explain his innocence, so he pulled open his bottom drawer.
There was no watch inside, only a red string with his name on it.
Wen Yubai then realized that Xiao Jingyao had picked up his lost items and even kept them. He immediately closed the drawer with a red face, but was still seen by his classmates.
—Original plot.
What about reality?
Seeing that the two sisters didn't want to eat anymore, Ye An simply grabbed a handful.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Today he could finally be a proper audience member and experience what it was like to be a passerby watching a show.
Then he watched Xiao Jingyao walk in with his usual stern face and expressionless expression.
Same as the original.
For some reason, Ye An always felt that this person glanced at him.
He thought about it and decided that he must have seen it wrong.
Xiao Jingyao looked at the noisy crowd in front of him and felt inexplicably irritated. He hated crowds the most, and now so many people were crowding around his seat.
When the crowd saw him come in, they stopped making noise and even made way for him to sit in.
Then the people who were standing there in a crowd automatically retreated, and no one dared to offend Xiao Jingyao in front of him.
When Bai Yu saw Xiao Jingyao, she started to perform directly, "Jingyao, my watch, that watch is missing..."
Under normal circumstances, Xiao Jingyao would still give Bai Yu some disrespect because of the Bai family, but this person danced in his face today, and he really didn't want to give him any expression at all.
He interrupted the chanting and asked coldly, "What does this have to do with me?"
Bai Yu stopped suddenly, her eyes widened, and tears flowed almost instantly.
The alphas accompanying him couldn't bear to see him cry and immediately rushed over to comfort him.
Wen Yubai then spoke up, asking, "Xiao Jingyao, Bai Yu suspects his watch is in our drawer. Do you dare to open it and show it to others?"
Now the group of alphas didn't dare to comfort him. In Li Ai, no one dared to talk to Xiao Jingyao like this, and they all gasped.
Only then did Xiao Jingyao turn his head and look at Wen Yubai, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He remembered that he had warned Wen Yubai on the night of Ji Xingyan's birthday party. Back then, he had been kind-hearted, so what was this guy up to today?
He was silent for a while, then glanced at Ye An who was eating happily beside him.
Xiao Jingyao smiled and leaned his chair back to make room for the other person. He calmly took out his phone, not looking at the others, and said as he scrolled through the screen, "Whatever you want."
Still no one dared to step forward.
Wen Yubai didn't care, he took the lead. He was the one who provokes the people no one else in the school dared to provoke!
He opened the drawer directly, confident that he would see something inside.
Then he miscalculated.
The drawer was clean, with only a sketchbook in it.
The page that caught his eye showed a boy sleeping on his side, facing him, with a mole at the corner of his eye.
Wen Yubai was stunned when he saw it, and he almost couldn't hold back his expression. No one dared to join in the fun, only Bai Yu came forward while crying and saw the painting.
He didn't know who this person was, so he could only take note of it secretly. But he felt strange, because this person didn't seem to be Wen Yubai.
Wen Yubai, who was standing next to him, was already so angry that he stared at Xiao Jingyao.
He was so angry that he scratched the books on Xiao Jingyao's desk with his fingernails, but Xiao Jingyao just stared at him playfully with a smile on his lips.
Wen Yubai didn't understand why the things here were replaced, but this was definitely Xiao Jingyao's doing!
He was so angry that he slammed Xiao Jingyao's drawer shut, then returned to his seat and took out his own.
"You can all take a look, just look at it as you like!"
"Look, that watch is here with me!?"
Everyone moved towards him, and sure enough, there was nothing there.
So where's the watch?
Bai Yu felt something was wrong, the whole situation was out of his control. He had clearly put the watch in yesterday. He had come so early today to get there before Wen Yubai found out, to prevent anyone from discovering the swap.
His mind was in a mess, not knowing what to do. But the lackey beside him suddenly had an idea, "It doesn't have to be in the drawer. What if this poor guy sold it?"
"That's right, who else here would take Master Bai Yu's watch? It's only him!"
A group of people echoed.
Wen Yubai's smile was even more creepy. He naturally knew where the watch was, and he didn't want to pay any attention to this group of people. The most annoying thing at the moment was the painting in Xiao Jingyao's drawer.
Bai Yu didn't recognize the person in the painting, but he did. It was Ye An, the one who took a nap every day, took off his glasses and tilted his head.
He had also seen it by accident and had been amazed by Ye An's beauty. But he hadn't expected Xiao Jingyao to not only look at her every day, but even secretly draw her...
His teeth were almost broken.
Just when the few people were in a stalemate, a teacher walked in with a box in his hand.
"Teacher Qiu, don't worry. I found the watch. It's on the grass at the school gate."
"Today, while on security patrol, I saw something flashing on the ground from a distance. I looked and saw it was a watch."
"It was all a false alarm!"
Wen Yubai already knew this outcome and said sarcastically, "I don't know what the positioning is, it's so inaccurate."
Lin Han naturally understood what he meant, "Who are you talking to?"
Bai Yu immediately stopped him from going forward and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wen, this time it's my fault..."
"I was just anxious at the moment. This watch is too important to me. I'm sorry for offending you and wasting everyone's time."
His voice became weaker and weaker, and in the end he even sounded like crying.
Wen Yubai sneered and ignored Bai Yu's apology. The only thing on his mind was that damn painting!
