Shi Yan remained silent for a long time, wondering how things had developed to this point.
He just wanted to play dirty tricks, spreading rumors based on baseless accusations and unfounded claims.
But now the wind suddenly hit his head.
When Li Chuan heard that Fu Xiuhan hadn't sided with Shi Qian, he was quite impressed with Fu Xiuhan's character. As expected of someone from a prominent family, he wouldn't resort to such underhanded tactics.
One should be upright in character and clear and transparent in action.
Since the matter of stealing the sheet music is unclear, let's get to the bottom of it.
Li Chuan thought the suggestion of searching the drawers was very reasonable. After all, Shi Qian had taken the sheet music, and if he didn't throw it away or destroy the evidence, there were only a few places he could hide it, either in the classroom or the dormitory.
Let's start by looking in the classrooms.
Shi Yan's face was ashen. He didn't want to talk anymore. He just hoped that a bolt of lightning would strike and kill Li Chuan, his useless teammate.
No? Why do we have to start looking for the sheet music in his drawer?
Seeing that Shi Yan was still in a daze and didn't move, Li Chuan assumed that Shi Yan was stunned by the sudden justice. Poor Shi Yan, he probably felt wronged for a while and didn't dare to ask for justice anymore.
Li Chuan patted Shi Yan on the shoulder and said reassuringly, "Shi Yan, don't be afraid. I'm here. I won't let you suffer any injustice. Even if Fu Xiuhan is here, I'm not afraid!"
To bolster their morale, they added a slogan: "Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent!"
Tired, let it all end. Shi Yan now knows what it means to lift a pig's head only to drop it on one's own foot.
The classroom was unusually quiet. Everyone who had been busy with their own things stopped abruptly, afraid that they might make too much noise and miss some crucial information.
It's so much fun to watch the drama unfold on the spot. They had also seen posts about Shi Qian stealing Shi Yan's sheet music, but stealing the sheet music isn't the main point right now.
The key point is that this seems to be the first time Fu Xiuhan has stood up for someone! And this person is none other than Shi Qian, who has a terrible reputation!
They had previously speculated about the relationship between Fu Xiuhan and Shi Yan. Fu Xiuhan was indeed more special to Shi Yan than to others, and everyone was secretly shipping them as a couple.
However, since Shi Qian returned, Fu Xiuhan and Shi Yan have not interacted much. Instead, Shi Qian and Fu Xiuhan have become much closer.
Fu Xiuhan has always been aloof and doesn't care about anyone else's business, but now he's directly getting involved.
Considering Shi Qian's relentless pursuit of Fu Xiuhan before, could it be that the two have made some new progress? Did Shi Qian use his looks to get ahead?
The students in Class 1 weren't usually fond of gossip, but with the atmosphere so thick with the drama, they simply couldn't resist joining in.
More and more passersby gathered outside the classroom, and some had already gone back and forth to fill their thermos flasks with hot water several times.
The students from the next class who were cleaning kept expanding their cleaning area, and eventually they simply took brooms and swept all the way to the back door of Class 1, almost sweeping the floorboards at the back door bare.
Many curious heads also appeared at the windows of Class 1 facing the corridor, all watching the commotion in this corner.
Fu Xiuhan glanced down at Shi Yan and said, "Turn it over."
Shi Yan closed his eyes briefly, then quickly opened them again, his eyes filled with tears, making him look pitiful.
"I lost the sheet music because I was nervous about participating in the arts festival, but now that the festival is over, there's no point in trying to find the sheet music again."
"Why don't we each take a step back and let this matter go? Shi Qian and I are relatives after all, and I don't want to ruin our relationship over this."
As Shi Yan spoke, he looked up at Li Chuan and said, "Li Chuan, I know you wanted to stand up for me, and I'm very grateful, but I'm fine now, and I don't want to argue about such a trivial matter anymore."
Then Shi Yan changed to a sorrowful expression and looked straight at Fu Xiuhan.
"Fu Xiuhan, how did our relationship end up like this?"
"I don't know what Shi Qian said to you that caused you to misunderstand me..."
Shi Yan's voice choked slightly, sounding very aggrieved.
"Shi Qian is mentally ill and sometimes he is not clear-headed. You can't believe everything he says."
“It was because I was too controlling before that Shi Qian became somewhat dissatisfied. This time when she came back, she applied to live on campus and has become distant from me.”
"Shi Qian is a bit willful, but we grew up together, so I won't blame him for anything he does."
“I’m just worried about his health. He used to lose control of himself occasionally when he was at home. He tore up my sheet music and smashed my piano when he was at home before, but I didn’t blame him. We’ve already found a doctor to treat him.”
"I was too anxious and nervous about this arts festival, which is why things turned out this way."
“I didn’t blame him that day, I just couldn’t help asking a few extra questions. I didn’t expect it to reach the teacher and cause such a big misunderstanding.”
"Let's just let this go, okay? It might really be a misunderstanding. The sheet music is lost, so be it. Maybe Shi Qian really didn't take it."
Shi Yan's words seemed grand, but in reality, he subtly covered up the blame for Shi Qian's actions.
He had already presupposed in his words that he was the victim, while Shi Qian was a perpetrator with a long criminal record, and that he, as the victim, had generously forgiven him time and time again, including in this incident.
The onlookers were all marveling at how gentle Shi Yan was, while complaining that Shi Qian was being too domineering because of her illness.
Unfortunately, Fu Xiuhan remained unmoved and said, "Turn over."
Shi Qian leaned back in his chair. He didn't know why Fu Xiuhan was so insistent on going through Shi Yan's drawers today, but Fu Xiuhan's thought process was always peculiar, so there was no need to delve into it.
However, Shi Yan was acting strangely today. In the past, he wouldn't have gotten hung up on this kind of thing. It's just looking at the things in the drawer, why make such a fuss?
