Chapter 48 The Price of Spreading Rumors Students’ Questions…

The classmates asked questions one after another, and Xu Qingye didn't know which one to answer first.

When he heard Jiang Yao's name, he turned around and took a look. Jiang Yao was the girl who had sent him a message to remind him before. Xu Qingye didn't have any impression of her in his memory. She should be just an ordinary classmate.

"I opened my own studio and am working in the self-media industry. It hasn't made any splash yet, so I won't tell you more. As for love, I don't have time to think about it right now."

Xu Qingye gave a simple answer, but there were still a few who refused to give in.

"If you don't have time to think, you can still talk about your ideal type. You must have an ideal type, right? Do you like tall and thin, short or fat? You must have a general idea, right?"

He likes people with abs!

Suddenly, an image popped up in Xu Qingye's mind of water drops dripping from the ends of Shen Que's hair and dripping down along his beautiful muscle contours. He couldn't help swallowing.

"Well, I like tall and thin people who like to work out and have beautiful muscles, short hair, and can cook."

Xu Qingye almost blurted it out, then felt something was wrong. Before he could figure it out, the girl who had been making trouble spoke again.

"You're so specific. It looks like you have a goal. I didn't realize you like girls who love fitness. From your appearance, I thought you would like sweet girls."

"I don't have a goal, I just say it casually."

Xu Qingye quickly denied it and found another topic to change the subject.

After ordering dishes and serving wine, Xu Qingye greeted everyone enthusiastically and became the center of the crowd. Ge Fuyang wanted to interrupt several times, but was blocked every time.

"Xiao Ye, I realize that I misunderstood you before. You are really a good person."

Someone put his arm around Xu Qingye's shoulders and poured him a glass of wine. He had heard rumors about Xu Qingye in the school before and had some misunderstandings about him. But now it seemed that he was completely different from what was rumored. After all, a person's character could not change at will.

"By the way, I kept hearing about the rumors about me, but I don't know the details."

Xu Qingye hugged the man and asked casually. He always heard people say that there were rumors about him in school, but he didn't know the details. Today was a rare opportunity, and he really wanted to know the details.

Especially regarding the topic of illegitimate children, he was very curious about how the news came about.

He had drunk a little and his mind was not very clear. After Xu Qingye coaxed him for a while, he became confused. Whenever Xu Qingye asked a question, he answered it without hesitation.

"The rumor at first wasn't about an illegitimate child, but about you being kept by a rich woman. When you were a freshman, Ge Fuyang saw you always driving a luxury car, and he said that was your financial sponsor—"

"Sun Zi, you must have drunk too much."

As soon as the man said this, Ge Fuyang rushed over and pulled him away. The man had been drinking and was staggering, almost falling. He got angry when he was pulled.

"What are you doing? Didn't you say those things? You said he just relied on his pretty face and all the designer clothes. You said that he didn't know how he got them. Didn't you say those things? You dare not admit it. Later, the instructor talked to you and you didn't dare to say it anymore."

"You're talking nonsense."

Ge Fuyang wanted to refute, but he couldn't say anything as everyone was staring at him.

"I'm talking nonsense. How could I be talking nonsense? You secretly followed Xu Qingye several times, trying to take photos of evidence, and then you heard him calling mom, and you started making up rumors that he was a illegitimate child."

Under the influence of alcohol, they blurted out whatever they wanted. Ge Fuyang's face turned red, and everyone else fell silent. They had all heard the rumors about Xu Qingye, and some had even spread them. At that time, they believed everything they heard, and never thought that a casual remark could bring harm to others.

The atmosphere became awkward and everyone stopped smiling. Xu Qingye sat down and poured himself a glass of wine.

"It's all in the past. Just let it go. Don't mention it again."

After Xu Qingye spoke, everyone became lively again, but the atmosphere was not as good as at the beginning.

After three rounds of banquets and a full meal, the evening breeze made everyone sober. Xu Qingye took out his phone and prepared to take a taxi back.

"Where do you live? I'm driving, and I can take you there if it's convenient."

Jiang Yao stood beside Xu Qingye and asked him in a low voice. Xu Qingye drank a lot of wine. Although he looked fine, he might be a little drunk. It was still a bit worrying for him to leave alone.

"Well, let's go together. We are worried about you being alone."

Xu Qingye wanted to say no, but he couldn't resist people's enthusiasm. Just as he was about to give the address, a black Ghost stopped in front of them, the window rolled down, and Yi He stuck his head out.

"Boss, get in the car, I'm here to pick you up."

Xu Qingye glanced at Yi He, then at the eye-catching car. For a moment he didn't know what was going on, but he nodded calmly and greeted several classmates.

"My assistant is here to pick me up. We'll get together again sometime in the future."

After Xu Qingye finished speaking, he turned around and got into the car gracefully. Only after he got in did he realize that Shen Que was also there.

"What's the plot you're singing?"

Xu Qingye was a little puzzled. He looked outside again and saw that his classmates were all whispering to each other, while the car had already driven two miles away.

"I heard that you had a class reunion, so I came here to support you. Isn't that how it's played out in TV dramas? A Rolls-Royce is the standard for successful people."

Yi He was a little proud. When Xu Qingye said that he was going to have a dinner party with his classmates, Yi He immediately thought of countless idol drama plots in his mind. After thinking about it, he decided that he had to support him, so he sneaked home and drove his father's car out.

"What about you? What are you doing here?"

Xu Qingye and Yi He were unable to communicate and stared at Shen Que. He had just casually sent him a message saying that he was at a dinner party and would be back later, so how did it turn out like this?

"You told me that you were at a dinner party and might be back late. Didn't that imply that you wanted me to pick you up?" Shen Que looked innocent, feeling that he had understood correctly.

"You are doing a cloze test. Don't expand on sentences in the future. I mean what I say literally."

Xu Qingye felt helpless, he found that Shen Que was a sensitive person. Every time he said something to him, he would always think too much and misunderstand his simple report.

"Anyway, the effect is great. You've already become a big shot, so don't worry about it. Are there any interesting things happening at the class reunion? Tell me about it. I heard that you don't get along well with these classmates."

Yi He pricked up his ears and prepared to eat melons. He loved to listen to stories about love and hatred.

"There is no rift, we are just unfamiliar. I have gained something this time, as I know who spread rumors about me. I will send you his information later, so please help me check him out. If there is any problem, please write a report to his unit. He spread rumors about me, and I will report him back."

Xu Qingye narrowed his eyes. Tonight was not completely fruitless. It was a pity that they were all unpleasant things. There seemed to be something else besides that, but he couldn't remember it for the moment.

Xu Qingye frowned and looked very unhappy. Shen Que reached out and gently held Xu Qingye's hand, as if to silently comfort him.

Xu Qingye glanced at him. The car was shaking and he felt a little dizzy from the alcohol. He forgot what he wanted to say and just smiled at him foolishly.

After Xu Qingye left, the classmate group became lively. Someone wrote down everything that happened tonight and posted it in the group. Not everyone was there tonight, so not everyone saw all the excitement. At the end, that person focused on describing the Ghost and criticized Ge Fuyang for his weird behavior.

That night, Ge Fuyang was so angry that he quit the group. The next day, his leader called him into the office, where evidence of his taking kickbacks was placed on the table. He packed up and left that same day.

After drinking, Xu Qingye slept very deeply and dreamed almost the whole night. In the dream, he hugged someone. The person had beautiful abdominal muscles and a good-looking face. Xu Qingye couldn't help but reach out and touch him.

Wait, I seem to have some feeling.

Xu Qingye moved his hand and felt something warm. Almost in an instant, Xu Qingye came to his senses. He glanced beside him and saw Shen Que.

Shen Que woke up a long time ago. He had nothing to do today, so he just lay there with his head supported, looking at Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye seemed to be dreaming, and his expression kept changing, which was very interesting. He was also restless in his sleep, and one of his hands was always touching him randomly. Shen Que pushed him away several times, but he clung to him like an octopus, and finally Shen Que simply gave up.

"You, me, you—"

Xu Qingye watched Shen Sanche immediately look down at himself, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he made sure that he was dressed neatly.

"What are you thinking about?"

Shen Que saw that Xu Qingye looked bullied and his tone was a little strange.

"Nothing, what happened yesterday? I seem to have lost my memory."

Xu Qingye scratched his head. He drank red wine and didn't feel anything at the time. After swaying in the car for a while, the energy kicked in and he was dizzy and couldn't remember clearly.

"It's nothing. I just helped you go back to bed and you vomited all over. The sheets were all dirty. I had no choice but to carry you to my room. Don't drink anymore. You won't be able to sleep well if you drink too much."

Shen Que sat up, picked up the phone on the bedside table and sent Xu Qingye a video of him going crazy while drunk. Xu Qingye opened it, took only a glance, and closed it. This kind of thing had to be completely deleted.

"Delete it, delete it, don't read it."

Xu Qingye was a little annoyed. He could obviously drink a lot, so how come he got drunk after just a few drinks? Xu Qingye took out his phone and flipped through it again. There were many messages he hadn't read. Some of them were from Jiang Yao, all of which were expressions of concern for him. Thinking back to yesterday and some things before that, Xu Qingye was sure that Jiang Yao might be interested in him, so he had to make things clear to her.

After pondering the wording for a while, Xu Qingye sent a message to Jiang Yao.

Xu Qingye: Thank you for your concern. I drank too much last night and fell into a deep sleep. I just woke up now. I think I have to tell you something. Actually, I like boys, so I may disappoint you. Thank you again for your care for me over the years. I wish you happiness.

Xu Qingye sent a message, but the other party did not reply. Xu Qingye put his phone aside, stretched, and lay down again.

"It's late, just lie down for a while. What about you? Do you want to get up?"

"I can't get up. It's hard to rest."

Shen Que shook his head, changed his position and lay down with Xu Qingye. It turned out that lying there doing nothing was quite interesting.
