Fu Xiuhan met Shi Yan's gaze and saw a wronged expression, but heard him being called an idiot.
No one had ever dared to insult Fu Xiuhan like that in his entire life. After all, anyone who dared to speak rudely to him had no right to appear in front of him.
Fu Xiuhan was not unaware that these people were gossiping about him behind his back, but he didn't care at all. If they had the guts, let them insult him to his face and see who would be the one to suffer in the end.
Therefore, Fu Xiuhan had basically never heard any swear words or insults since he was a child. Now that he was being called an idiot by name, he felt a little uncomfortable.
However, he couldn't directly retort, since Shi Yan was subtly criticizing him in his mind, blaming him for eavesdropping too thoroughly and hearing into other people's thoughts.
Fu Xiuhan felt a bit aggrieved at this moment. He wanted to curse Shi Yan, but he didn't have a legitimate reason, since Shi Yan hadn't done anything on the surface.
Fu Xiuhan met Shi Yan's gaze. Shi Yan stared at him with innocent eyes, looking at him with a pitiful expression. If he hadn't heard what Shi Yan was really thinking, he might have been fooled by this expression and believed that he was a victim.
The saying "You can know a person's face but not their heart" is perfectly exemplified at this moment.
Fu Xiuhan shifted his gaze to Li Chuan, who stood warily in front of Shi Yan, and said, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Although Li Chuan was scared, he told himself he couldn't back down. Shi Yan was still watching him from behind. There was no reason for him to step forward halfway and then back down. What kind of talk would that be?
Li Chuan could only muster his courage to speak up, "What did I say wrong? Shi Qian stole Shi Yan's sheet music! He even injured Shi Yan's hand! Preventing him from participating in the arts festival! And from participating in the music association's selection at the end of the month!"
“Fu Xiuhan, I know you come from a prominent family, but you can’t be so biased towards Shi Qian. He made a mistake, and that’s that! Are you going to stand up for him and let Shi Yan suffer in silence?”
"Did Shi Qian cast a spell on you? Weren't you closer to Shi Yan before? We all saw that!"
Li Chuan paused for a moment, glanced at the others in the classroom, and everyone immediately lowered their heads and started busying themselves with something, but it was unclear what they were doing.
Li Chuan felt that he was fighting alone at this moment. He was a hero, and he couldn't back down. He straightened his back and continued:
"I don't know why you suddenly changed and started protecting this person who knows nothing but has a belly full of bad intentions. Has your Fu family's poverty alleviation efforts really gone this far?"
"Could it be that you, Fu Xiuhan, are also such a shallow person, falling for a femme fatale like Shi Qian?"
[Yes, yes, yes! I don't know if Fu Xiuhan hit his head, but he used to be my best friend, and now he's treating me like I'm invisible!]
[Well done, Li Chuan! Keep asking! I fucking want to know the answer too!]
Fu Xiuhan heard Shi Yan's thoughts again and gave Shi Yan a look. Shi Yan looked like he was in a daze and habitually wiped away non-existent tears.
Sitting behind Fu Xiuhan, Shi Qian, whom Li Chuan said was capable of using Gu poison, was completely oblivious to the situation.
Shi Qian had been living a peaceful life lately. Recalling her previous experience of being so hungry that she felt dizzy, she realized that her physical condition needed improvement, so she added some exercise to her routine every night.
I just don't know what went wrong. The more I exercise, the weaker I become; the harder I try, the more heartbroken I feel.
After reflecting on his actions, Shi Qian realized that he might be too weak to tolerate strong tonics, so he decided to start by addressing his diet.
I'm too thin right now. I need to gain some weight and store up some fat. Then, exercising might be more effective.
So Shi Qian started to increase his food intake. This morning he ate too many carbohydrates and felt a bit dizzy from the carbohydrates the whole way.
When I got back to the classroom and saw Shi Yan acting again, I couldn't help but roll my eyes and slump back into my seat.
When Li Chuan ran up to him and started speaking, Shi Qian couldn't hear a thing.
He felt so full he wanted to vomit, and all he could think about was that he needed to reduce his carbohydrate intake next time and not eat like this again.
When Li Chuan stood in front of him and started cursing, he didn't even realize at first that he was being cursed at.
By the time he realized what was happening, Fu Xiuhan had already arrived.
Shi Qian pursed her lips, frowned slightly, and remained silent.
He felt a little nauseous. Damn, eating too much is such a hassle.
Seeing Shi Qian's expression, Fu Xiuhan knew that Shi Qian had taken it to heart! She had been wronged! But because of her gentle nature, she didn't argue back!
How could Fu Xiuhan bear to see Shi Qian being wronged? He knew what had happened in the music room. Shi Qian had not stolen Shi Yan's sheet music at all. His playing level was a thousand times, ten thousand times better than Shi Yan's!
Moreover, Shi Yan was not injured when he left. Who knows how he got the injury on his hand? Can you blame it on Shi Qian?
With Shi Qian's personality, she wouldn't even talk back. What would I do if I weren't there?
"You say Shi Yan's score was stolen by Shi Qian, do you have any evidence?"
Li Chuan thought Fu Xiuhan would blindly defend Shi Qian, but he didn't expect Fu Xiuhan to ask about that day's events. Well, reasoning with him is fine, since Shi Qian was wrong in every way.
"Of course! Didn't Shi Qian always sneak into the music room to watch Shi Yan practice? She even took the sheet music when Shi Yan forgot to bring it, and that night Shi Qian was the only one there!"
Are you sure?
"Of course, Shi Yan would never lie. I also checked the surveillance footage from that day, and I definitely saw Shi Qian appear!"
"Did they film Shi Qian taking the sheet music?"
Li Chuan was stunned for a moment. In order to find out the truth, he did check the surveillance footage, but he only saw Shi Qian appear at the corner and could not see inside the music room.
"Of course! After Shi Yan left that night, only Shi Qian showed up. The sheet music disappeared overnight. Who else had the opportunity to steal it besides him!"
