Chapter 47: Cultural Performance, Rumors
The days of studying are always busy and monotonous, and time flies quickly. After the celebration of the last basketball game, Zhang Wanwan hasn't seen Yan Zeyu for a while. Leng Ziyue is still as cold as ever. If the class leaders need to inform Leng Ziyue about something, they will consciously find Zhang Wanwan to pass the message. Zhang Wanwan inexplicably became Leng Ziyue's secretary. No matter big or small, there is nothing she doesn't know.
Fortunately, she is easy-going and doesn't care about things, so most of the students in the class like to interact with her. Even girls find it difficult to be hostile to her. Even though they know that Leng Ziyue is only special to Zhang Wanwan, they don't feel jealous or anything like that.
It's not that Zhang Wanwan has great charisma, but Leng Ziyue is someone who can only be admired from afar and not touched. Even if Zhang Wanwan didn't exist, Leng Ziyue wouldn't be able to be friendly to them. It is precisely because of this clear understanding that everyone can only feel a little jealous, but still be clear-headed.
The National Day holiday is approaching, and they are planning to hold a cultural performance before the holiday.
Half of the class were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they gathered in twos and threes to discuss, because each class had to perform a program, and the cultural and arts committee member was already busy.
Zhang Wanwan poked Luo Jingyun's back with a pen in confusion and whispered to her, "Why are they so excited?"
Luo Jingyun turned around and tapped Zhang Wanwan's head gently, "Do you think everyone is like you, doing nothing but studying? Who doesn't want to relax during the art performance? If you don't believe me, ask Yaqing."
Zhang Wanwan and Luo Jingyun both looked at Bao Yaqing.
Bao Yaqing smiled shyly, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, "It's not bad to be able to watch a performance! I heard that many of our first-year students are multi-talented."
"Yes, yes, yes, you all know Huang Liting from Class Three! Wanwan has seen her. I heard that girl has been learning ballet and piano since elementary school. What a talented girl!" Luo Jingyun started gossiping again.
Bao Yaqing nodded in agreement, "I've heard of her too. It seems she's the host of this cultural performance. She'll also be performing. I'm looking forward to it."
After hearing this, the other boys all came over to discuss the topic enthusiastically. The boys' topics always revolved around girls. Cai Long was even more amazing. She actually danced some weird ballet in the classroom, making everyone laugh.
Zhang Wanwan lost interest after listening for a while. She turned to look at Leng Ziyue and found that this guy was not disturbed by them at all. It seemed as if he had shut down his five senses and seemed out of tune with the people and things around him.
Zhang Wanwan inexplicably felt a trace of sympathy and whispered to him, "Aren't you looking forward to the art performance?"
"boring."
These two simple words made Zhang Wanwan feel at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She put her thoughts aside and continued reading.
After this little episode, Zhang Wanwan no longer paid attention to the art performance. As a result, something upsetting happened before the performance even started.
Zhang Wanwan entered the classroom early with her schoolbag as usual, but found that Luo Jingyun, who was always late, was already in her seat with two or three girls around her. It seemed that something had happened.
"Good morning, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Wanwan greeted everyone and sat down.
As soon as Luo Jingyun saw her, she grabbed her and angrily began to complain, "Wanwan, you're finally here. Do you know that the school has been talking about you these days?"
"My business? What business do I have?" Zhang Wanwan looked puzzled. Her life was boring. What was there to talk about?
"It's just that your parents set up a street stall or something, which is nothing. The most outrageous thing is that there are rumors that you like Yan Zeyu, and you keep pestering Yan Zeyu, saying things like a toad wanting to eat swan meat. Anyway, it's as ugly as it can be. Don't you know?" Luo Jingyun slammed the table in indignation.
After these words were spoken, the students around who were unaware of the situation were all surprised and looked at Zhang Wanwan.
Zhang Wanwan was stunned. She pointed at herself and asked in disbelief, "My parents are selling things on the street. That's a fact. But when did I start to like Yan Zeyu? And why did I pester him? When did I do these things? How come I don't know?"
Cai Long looked at Luo Jingyun seriously, "Where did you hear all this news? What's wrong with Wanwan's parents setting up a street stall? They haven't done anything shameful. But the idea of her pestering that Yan Zeyu is simply bullshit. We all know Zhang Wanwan. When did you see her hanging out outside except for going to the bathroom during school? She always followed you after school. You know best whether she did those things or not."
Cai Long absolutely didn't believe that Zhang Wanwan would do something like pestering a boy.
"I'm so angry because I know someone is slandering Wanwan!" Luo Jingyun was so angry that her chest was heaving. "If I knew who made up these rumors, I would beat him into a pig's head!"
Others began to comfort Zhang Wanwan and Luo Jingyun. They did not believe such groundless rumors. Besides, they were classmates, so they would naturally protect them a little.
When Leng Ziyue entered the classroom, there were already a lot of people gathered around Zhang Wanwan. Everyone was used to his indifference and didn't take the initiative to greet him. They just glanced at Leng Ziyue and continued with their own talks. They didn't return to their seats until the morning reading was about to begin.
After Bao Yaqing and the others left, she whispered to Zhang Wanwan, "Wanwan, don't be angry. We all believe that you were slandered. If it doesn't work, we will tell Teacher Su, and we will definitely be able to catch the person who spread the rumor."
"Yeah." Zhang Wanwan smiled calmly at Bao Yaqing, "Let's read the book first. It's time to read early."
Just because of this incident, many people's minds were not on the textbooks at all. During class, Cai Long frequently passed small notes to Zhang Wanwan, and it seemed that he wanted to help Zhang Wanwan.
Zhang Wanwan was touched, but didn't say much.
As soon as the bell rang, Luo Jingyun was the first to rush out of the classroom. Everyone was confused. Luo Jingyun did not come back until almost time for class. Seeing her walk into the classroom in a rage, everyone looked over at the same time.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Wanwan asked worriedly.
Luo Jingyun's eyes were red, and she sobbed twice before she said, "Wanwan, I went to Class 3 to find Yan Zeyu. I asked him if he had heard the rumors, and he said he didn't know. I asked him if he could guess who did it, and he still said he didn't know. Damn it, I have never seen such a useless man! I was so obsessed with his looks before, bah!"
"What's going on?" Tian Sen's voice rang in everyone's heads.
Luo Jingyun looked up and rolled her eyes at him, "No one in your class three is a good person."
Tian Sen: “????”
"No, auntie, how did I provoke you? I swear I am really a good person!" Tian Sen was almost willing to die to prove his innocence.
