Chapter 17 Do You Really Believe Me?

Two days after the incident, Jiang Xueli remained in this state.

And the rumor seemed to have gradually spread to other classes.

Just as the system said, as an absolutely neutral bystander, Lin Zhengran did notice something wrong with some details, and it would be easy to see the clues after a while.

In the third and fourth periods of physical education class in the morning, the physical education teacher asked everyone to divide into groups of two to do sit-ups.

Freedom to choose companions.

In the class, girls basically hang out with girls, and boys hang out with boys.

But it is conceivable that even if the number of girls is exactly even, the last girl would rather find a boy than pair up with Jiang Xueli.

As expected, she was left behind, and the PE teacher asked, "Have you all been divided into groups?"

"Teacher! Jiang Xueli hasn't found a partner yet!" A boy raised his hand with a gloating look, and everyone looked at him with indescribable strange looks.

Jiang Xueli stood there with a pale face.

The physical education teacher was curious: "Jiang Xueli? Why can't you find a partner? If you can't find one, then wait until the first group has finished practicing, and then find someone to help you."

Some people just wanted to watch the fun: "Teacher, no one will help her! She is a thief, and none of us will team up with her."

Jiang Xueli explained in a panic: "I'm not! I'm not a thief!"

"You are!" "Yes, you dare to say you are not?!" "The teacher has removed you!"

When the PE teacher heard about the thief, he remembered that there was indeed such a thing in this class some time ago, but he didn't ask any more questions: "Don't discuss this in PE class! Only sports are allowed!" The teacher looked at Jiang Xueli: "Whether it's a thief or not, don't you even have a good relationship with someone?"

Jiang Xueli's eyes turned red when the teacher looked at her. She felt that the teacher's eyes were clearly looking at a thief.

But she couldn't say anything.

At this moment, someone in the team suddenly raised his hand: "Teacher, I'll be in the same group with her."

Everyone, including the PE teacher, looked towards that person. The one who raised his hand was Lin Zhengran.

Jiang Xueli also looked at the other party in disbelief.

The physical education teacher nodded unexpectedly: "All right, then Lin Zhengran and Jiang Xueli will be in the same group. Okay, everyone stretch your bodies and start practicing!"

Everyone started talking again, and some familiar gossip was inevitable:

"I didn't believe before when they were boyfriend and girlfriend, but now it seems to be true."

"Yeah, but how can Lin Zhengran be so tasteless that he likes a thief? He is the top student in our class."

"Are they really talking?"

Lin Zhengran looked at everyone with a cold face: "What are you talking about?"

Everyone in the class shut up. No one wanted to fight with Lin Zhengran. After all, this guy was very special. He had good grades and was strong. If Lin Zhengran didn't want to be the class monitor, he would have been the class monitor when school started.

The physical education teacher asked everyone to divide into groups. Lin Zhengran looked at Jiang Xueli who came to his side.

She was staring at herself as if she had seen a ghost.

Lin Zhengran frowned speechlessly: "What's that look in your eyes? It feels like you're looking at a monkey."

"How could I!" Jiang Xueli pursed her lips and replied in a low voice: "You... you are willing to partner with me? Aren't you afraid that people will talk about you too?"

"You worry about so many things." Lin Zhengran said nonchalantly, "Let's not talk about the fact that we have always been the subject of discussion in the class. Do you think I am the kind of person who cares about other people's opinions? I don't care about them at all, okay?"

Jiang Xueli's face was a little dull as she said, "That's right, you have always been a weird person, no one can understand you."

The physical education teacher started yelling at everyone to start practicing.

Lin Zhengran sat on the lawn, and Jiang Xueli held down Lin Zhengran's legs and practiced sit-ups.

She stared at Lin Zhengran's usual expression, and asked hesitantly, "Do you believe me?"

But the voice was too soft, and Lin Zhengran did not answer immediately. Jiang Xueli thought he did not hear it, and did not have the courage to ask a second question.

Who knew that after doing two sit-ups, Lin Zhengran answered: "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't be with you. In our class, I think anyone could steal something, except you. After all, I can see that you like the position of discipline committee member very much, and you wouldn't do something that would ruin your hobby."

Jiang Xueli didn't know what kind of mood she was in when she heard this. She just felt that the boy in front of her was very pleasing to the eye.

My heart was beating very fast, and my mood, which had been depressed for several days, improved a lot. Even the air became fresher.

A faint smile appeared on her face, mixed with an inconspicuous blush.

Pressing his legs a little harder.

The weather was gloomy at noon and it really started to rain.

And the rain was heavy.

While eating, Lin Zhengran went to the back of the classroom to check, but couldn't find his umbrella. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have taken it home last time it rained and didn't bring it here.

Everyone in the classroom has gone to the cafeteria one after another.

When Jiang Xueli was about to leave, she saw Lin Zhengran walking out of the classroom with empty hands.

She looked at the umbrella in her hand and followed him as if possessed.

Arriving at the first floor of the teaching building, Lin Zhengran looked at the heavy rain that continued to fall on the campus and asked the person behind him in confusion: "Why are you following me?"

Jiang Xueli, who was following behind, was startled. She came out from the corner and said proudly, "Who followed you?! Nonsense! I have to go to eat too, so I have to pass by here."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lin Zhengran turned around and glanced at her. Jiang Xueli pretended to look away, with her twin ponytails falling halfway down her waist, looking very playful.

She stammered, "Did you forget to bring an umbrella? How about...how about sharing one with me? Although I have never shared an umbrella with a boy, I can't just watch you get wet." She continued to look away, her eyes secretly glancing at Lin Zhengran.

Who knew Lin Zhengran replied: "No need."

"No need?" Jiang Xueli was shocked. She walked to his side and said, "How can you go without an umbrella in such heavy rain? And didn't you say you were not afraid of rumors? Are you still afraid to go with me?!"

Lin Zhengran said calmly: "It seems that you don't want to be with me."

Jiang Xueli choked and clenched her fists.

She said stubbornly, "Yes! I don't want to share an umbrella with you. After all, I'm a girl and you're a boy! If we share an umbrella together, people will gossip about us, but isn't there anything we can do about it?!"

Lin Zhengran stared at her expression curiously. He had only seen it in virtual works. "Jiang Xueli, do you know what tsundere means?"

Jiang Xueli exclaimed and shook her head: "I've never heard of it. What is tsundere?"

"Nothing, just take it as a compliment from me."

She had a strange expression on her face and muttered, "Really? I don't think so. I'll search the Internet to find out what this word means when I get home tonight. So do you want to hold an umbrella with me? Make a decision quickly. A lot of people are watching us! I'm shy, okay?"

There were indeed quite a few people looking over here in the lobby on the first floor. It was indeed very rare to see boys and girls holding umbrellas together in elementary school.

Only after Lin Zhengran thanked her did Jiang Xueli finally feel relieved.

Holding an umbrella for Lin Zhengran.

Since she was not tall, Lin Zhengran eventually took over the umbrella: "Let me do it. Aren't you tired of stretching your arms so straight?"

Jiang Xueli put her hands behind her back and shyly walked close to him in the rain: "Who made you so tall?"

Maybe the space under the umbrella was very hidden, Jiang Xueli couldn't help but ask again: "Do you really believe me? Believe that I didn't steal anything? My classmates all think I'm a thief."

"Didn't I answer this in PE class?" He saw the expectant look in the other person's eyes and said helplessly: "I really believe you, but I'm curious, are you just going to let this go?"

Jiang Xueli retorted happily, her hands clenched into fists: "Of course I can't just let it go like this! I'm going to find out who framed me, and then teach her a lesson! And why did Jiang Xiao point out that I took it? She's obviously lying. I'm going to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"Oh? I never realized you were so ambitious. You've been so listless these past two days."

Jiang Xueli said insincerely: "Nonsense! Who said I was depressed? I am fine now, I just couldn't recover for a while before."

Lin Zhengran chuckled and didn't want to comment.

Jiang Xueli put down her little fist and secretly looked at Lin Zhengran. Her twin ponytails swayed with her steps, and she looked very happy.

"What are you laughing at? And your smile is so ugly."

At the entrance of the teaching building in the distance, Jiang Xiao was holding two pink umbrellas in her hands, looking at Lin Zhengran who was leaving with Jiang Xueli.

Some things seem even more self-defeating.

"Lin Zhengran"
