After class, the other students were talking about it, not caring whether they would be overheard.
Xu Xiangyang knew that someone would talk about it, so he went straight out after class.
When you want to explain, others may not listen. Instead, they might feel awkward if you say nothing.
Unlike women, men don't automatically accept something without explanation; that's a difference between men and women.
Zhang Qiang had been waiting for him for ages, and had even missed his class. Seeing him come out, he quickly went over to ask.
"Hey Yang, we all stayed at your place yesterday, how come this kind of thing still got out?"
He asked, completely bewildered, "We all sleep in the same house, so how did such a thing come out?"
Xu Xiangyang shrugged helplessly, "How would I know?"
He was so frustrated; these kinds of things are really a headache.
It seems that being handsome not only attracts romantic attention, but also bad romantic attention.
It smells awful!
Seeing his helpless expression, Zhang Qiang thought for a moment and said, "This person is really mean, she says everything. I think she just wants to cling to you."
That being said, how can you compare to her thick-skinned personality?
If a dog bites you, you should try to kick it instead of biting it back.
Xu Xiangyang sighed. There was nothing he could do but wait for the investigation to conclude.
In the afternoon, he was called away again, this time to the principal's office.
There were quite a few people sitting inside, including school leaders and several uniformed police officers.
Xu Xiangyang was followed by Zhang Qiang; both of them had been called over.
Besides them, there was also that foul-smelling Liu Xiaoqing, her face full of grievances, looking like she was about to burst into tears.
At this moment, Principal Huang spoke up and asked, "Liu Xiaoqing, please tell us about what happened yesterday."
The others listened silently, all looking at Liu Xiaoqing.
Although Liu Xiaoqing was a little nervous, the thought that Xu Xiangyang would soon marry her or else she would be sent to jail made her feel much more relaxed.
After a pause, she said softly, "Yesterday afternoon, when it was almost dark, Xu Xiangyang called me out. I didn't want to go because it was so late, after all, we're of the opposite sex."
“But Xu Xiangyang had a very good reputation before, and everyone had a good impression of him, so I thought about his good character and went out with him.”
That's a very eloquent statement.
Xu Xiangyang had to admit that her words were meant to dissuade people from believing the positive claims made by outsiders.
It was said to be a compliment, but it wasn't really meant to be kind.
Liu Xiaoqing continued, "After I went out with Xu Xiangyang, he took me to the small woods on campus."
“I was quite scared, but Xu said that I had to say some important things that couldn’t be heard by others, so I agreed.”
"But I never expected... I never expected him..."
"He actually did that to me!"
After saying that, she burst into tears, covering her face with her hands, her sobbing was annoying to listen to.
However, everyone else felt that this was a terrible thing to do.
The uniformed police officer standing nearby didn't say anything, but Vice Principal Du Qingyun said, "What a disgrace! You've ruined the reputation of our school!"
"Officers, I hope you can arrest this scourge as soon as possible! To prevent him from harming others!"
Du Qingyun is a woman in her forties with short, side-parted hair.
She looks like a strict nun, and always has a stern face. If you didn't know her, you'd think she was the head teacher.
After these words were spoken, no one else said anything.
The main problem is that only Liu Xiaoqing is speaking right now; no one else is saying anything.
The police officer, having been singled out, could only say to Du Qingyun, "Principal Du, let's listen to them finish speaking before giving our opinions."
Seeing his words, Du Qingyun did not insist. She sat down and looked at Xu Xiangyang with a look of disgust in her eyes.
Xu Xiangyang ignored the old woman and stood there calmly watching them.
If you're upright, you have nothing to fear; let people look at you however they want.
The police officer looked at Liu Xiaoqing and asked, "Liu, what time was it? Do you remember?"
What time is it?
After thinking for a moment, Liu Xiaoqing could only bite the bullet and say, "It's probably around 6:30 to 7:00."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangyang secretly laughed to himself.
The police officer took notes, then turned to Xu Xiangyang and said, "Xu, please tell us about your situation."
Since we're in court, let's say what we have to say.
Xu Xiangyang replied, "I finished class at four o'clock in the afternoon and went to the state-run restaurant across from the school with Comrade Zhang Qiang and his older brother."
"We arrived at around 4:20, and it was almost 5 o'clock when we ate. We drank some beer while eating, so the meal took a long time."
"It was almost eight o'clock when we left the restaurant. We went straight home and passed by Hongxi Supply and Marketing Cooperative on the way, where we bought two towels and a bar of soap."
"I will get home around nine o'clock."
He finished speaking very calmly, and then looked at the police officer.
The police officer was also taking notes. After finishing, he looked up and asked, "Who is Zhang Qiang?"
Zhang Qiang, who was behind him, quickly stepped forward and said, "It's me, officer."
To be honest, it was his first time facing the police, so he was a little nervous.
The police officer asked him, "Where is your older brother?"
“He went home today and boarded the train around this time,” Zhang Qiang answered truthfully.
The police then asked him if what Xu Xiangyang said was true, and Zhang Qiang repeated it.
He didn't remember the exact time because he didn't have a watch.
But the process is the same, there's no problem.
The police officer wrote everything down, then said a few words to the person next to him and let him leave.
He turned to the crowd and said, "I'll send people to investigate these two places to see if Xu Xiangyang actually went there yesterday."
This is reasonable, after all, arresting someone requires evidence, and it's impossible to rely on someone else's one-sided story.
Whether they are victims or perpetrators, the truth must be uncovered.
At this time, the principal had someone bring over chairs for Xu Xiangyang and Zhang Qiang to sit down.
Du Qingyun, who was standing nearby, was displeased and said directly to Principal Huang, "He's a bad guy, why should we give him a chair?"
For some unknown reason, this person has been targeting Xu Xiangyang.
Xu Xiangyang was also completely bewildered. He didn't seem to have any conflict with this vice principal.
Moreover, none of his classmates or acquaintances have the surname Du, so where did her malice come from?
Principal Huang replied calmly, "Regardless of whether it is Xu Xiangyang or not, the police need to investigate this thoroughly."
Du Qingyun wanted to say something, but seeing that no one else spoke, she rolled her eyes and sat down.
Xu Xiangyang didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly, feeling much more comfortable that way.
