Liang wanted to return to his seat, but his heart remained unsettled as he looked at the message his father had sent him the night before on his phone.
"Chen Ke is also a junior at Beijing University? Liang Xiang, have you heard of him at school?"
Jingbei, a junior, Chen Ke, Liang Xiang inquired in every department but couldn't find anyone with the same surname. This made him have to believe that the business genius his father praised as having great foresight and skill could really be the Chen Ke he knew.
At that moment, Liang Xiang was shocked like never before. He began to doubt himself and his ability to judge people.
Born into a privileged family and receiving the best education, Liang Xiang easily gained admission to what was considered the top university. He was proud and always looked down on his classmates from a high vantage point, but he was good at disguising his pride and was never seen through.
Now, all of this is like a castle built on ruins, precarious and about to collapse.
Liang Xiang's thoughts were in turmoil all night, and he didn't sleep at all. As a result, when he arrived at the classroom, he found everyone discussing Chen Ke. However, listening to Lu Xiao's mockery and belittling, Liang Xiang felt no sense of satisfaction. Instead, he felt as if he were seeing his former self, how narrow-minded and foolish he had been.
So for the first time, he defended Chen Ke.
This scene in the classroom was filmed by someone and posted on the school's online forum.
The hype surrounding this incident hadn't died down yet, and now there's this latest controversy involving Chen Ke. Everyone's excited as if they'd just watched a soap opera, and the thread quickly started piling up.
"My God, what a spectacular show! Even my goddess is participating."
“Sang Da Mei Mei’s character is still guaranteed. She said that Chen Ke is not that kind of person. So, have we misunderstood?”
"What misunderstanding? Didn't you see in the video that even the class monitor, who shared a dorm room with Chen Ke, didn't refute it? It's normal for the beautiful Sang to be deceived since she doesn't share a dorm room with Chen Ke."
"Yes, and men always have to put on an act in front of women. If they show their true colors, they'll scare away the goddess."
"That makes sense. Look at that beautiful internet celebrity before, she also spoke up for him during her live stream. I've found that Chen Ke has a knack for dealing with women."
"Putting aside his character, just look at his methods for pursuing women. I'm waiting for Master Chen to publish a book on it."
"Front row grabbing books."
"And I can't understand how someone like that can receive school grants?"
“I have people in the student union who can access his records. Chen Ke’s hometown is a remote small county in the southwest. He entered the university as the top scorer in the county in the college entrance examination, which is why he received the scholarship. As everyone knows, unless Chen Ke receives a major disciplinary action from the school, this scholarship will not be changed.”
"Haha, the top scorer in the county, and from a remote little county at that? Doesn't that prove what's being said online is true?"
"It's true, but women keep trying to whitewash him, probably just because they're attracted to his passable appearance."
The comments section suddenly started making veiled accusations against Bai Rongrong's female fans during her live stream. Bai Rongrong has been streaming for a long time and still has a considerable number of fans. People had already stopped paying attention to this matter due to Bai Rongrong's deliberate guidance, but now they were suddenly provoked by a random post from a forum in Jingbei, and their anger flared up instantly.
At that moment, I suddenly couldn't resist typing on the keyboard.
Before long, a large group of fans arrived at the scene, and the students who had not yet entered society immediately felt the power of their predecessors who had been through the trials of society.
"Speak up, people who keep saying there are women defending Chen Ke. What's wrong with women? Is there discrimination against women?"
“We speak up for Chen Ke because we don’t see him that way. As for your claim that what you see is different from what we see, maybe you just have dirty eyes and see everything as dirty.”
"What can they see? They're just two eggs under their eyebrows, they can only blink, they can't see."
"Which drain wasn't shut off properly so you could climb out? You're so foul-mouthed, didn't you forget to wipe your mouth after using the toilet? One door closes, another opens; you're just as idiotic as I am!"
······
Luo Luo typed a long message in one breath, then turned around and saw that Sang Ying was still reading the comments. She was so angry that she snatched Sang Ying's phone away. "Don't look at these bastard comments. It's probably that bastard Lu Xiao who did it again."
Sang Ying smiled and said, "I'm fine, but I don't know how upset Chen Ke will be after seeing this."
"Wow, you're so worried about him? Really? Do you like him?"
"No, it's just that I felt bad because I had misunderstood him before. Plus, we're friends now, and of course I'd be worried if a friend was misunderstood."
Luo Luo didn't believe it and was about to tease her when Yue Xingyu walked over and asked Sang Ying with a smile, "Can I sit here?"
Sang Ying politely said, "Excuse me, this room is taken."
Yue Xingyu's smile faltered for a moment, then she nodded nonchalantly and walked away.
Luo Luo was a little confused, "Why don't you want him to sit here?"
"I always felt that the class monitor deliberately didn't refute me just now. We're roommates, and Liang Xiang and Chen Keduo used to not get along, but Liang Xiang was able to stand up and say a few words in rebuttal, but the class monitor didn't say a word."
Luo Luo listened thoughtfully, "Wow, that's really terrifying when you think about it."
After a long lecture, Sang Ying was suddenly called away by her instructor.
The instructor asked her if she could contact Chen Ke, but Sang Ying shook her head. Since Chen Ke sent her two messages yesterday, he hadn't replied to any of her messages.
But Chen Ke said he had taken leave, so why is the instructor urgently contacting him now? Thinking about that video from earlier, Sang Ying suddenly had a bad feeling.
As expected, the instructor said earnestly, "Someone reported Chen Ke for misconduct and sent the content of the online post to the school. The school already knows about this, and the teaching affairs office wants to have a talk with Chen Ke."
“But none of those things are true,” Sang Ying said anxiously.
The instructor reassured her, "Don't worry, the school will definitely investigate. But you know, if these things get out of hand, it will be bad for the school's reputation. If you can contact Chen Ke, please ask him to come to the school to handle it as soon as possible."
"······OK."
After leaving the office, Sang Ying found Liang Xiang. She only had Chen Ke's QQ number, not his phone number, and didn't know if Liang Xiang, her roommate, had one.
Liang Xiang did have Chen Ke's phone number; it was something everyone had memorized when they first arrived at the dorm, but they had never called it since.
Liang pulled out the number and dialed it under Sang Ying's expectant gaze.
"Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."
"It's turned off."
Sang Ying was extremely anxious. "What should we do? The instructor said the teaching affairs office wants to talk to him. If this drags on, the school's reputation will be affected, and Chen Ke's situation will be even worse."
Liang Xiang paused for a moment, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "I might know where to find him. Don't rush, let's find him first."
"Really? That's great, thank you Liang Xiang."
Liang Xiang listened with a somewhat complicated expression, "You're welcome."
