This reaction—who else could it be if not her?
"What's wrong?" Li Qingshu asked.
"It's nothing." Chu Yang withdrew his gaze.
Li Qingshu didn't ask any more questions. She ate a few bites of food and then saw some of his books.
What books did you buy?
"Tang and Song dynasty poetry, as well as selected classical Chinese texts," Chu Yang said.
“…Song poetry?” Li Qingshu’s expression changed slightly as she looked at the collection of Song poetry placed at the top, her heart suddenly beating faster.
"What's wrong with Song Dynasty poetry?" Chu Yang asked.
"No, no, it's fine." Li Qingshu quickly lowered her head and ate her food.
Chu Yang couldn't understand her reaction.
I'm reading Tang and Song poetry, not pornography. What's the panic? Your ears are turning red.
The two finished their meal in silence, and then went to wash the rice bowls together.
Only one bottle of milk was left on the table.
After they left, Su Lingxue walked over and looked at the milk that hadn't been touched, her expression changing.
“He’s already like this, aren’t you going to give up?” Wang Xiaoli asked as she walked over.
Su Lingxue stubbornly pursed her lips, and after a long while, she softly uttered a single word:
"No."
After saying that, he took the milk from the table.
Wang Xiaoli followed.
"Hey, do you think it's true that Chu Yang bought a house?"
“It can’t be true.” Su Lingxue shook her head.
"I know Chu Yang's family background; they're just average. Besides, his parents could have gone to buy the house; why would he need to take time off work?"
"How does his family background compare to Li Min's?" Wang Xiaoli asked the key question.
Su Lingxue fell silent.
"Alright, I won't interfere with your choice anymore," Wang Xiaoli said with a smile. "Anyway, it's not like I'm choosing a boyfriend."
On the other side.
Chu Yang and Li Qingshu returned to the classroom.
As soon as I entered, I attracted the attention of other students.
But this time, the gaze seemed a little different.
Especially Lu Peng, the class's academic representative, had a sarcastic smile on his face.
Chu Yang ignored him, returned to his seat, and continued reading Song Dynasty poetry.
Not long after, Han Dachun arrived.
"Chu Yang, you're here."
He put down his schoolbag and said indignantly, "I told them this morning that you took leave to buy a house, but they didn't believe me and laughed at you for bragging. It made me so angry."
Chu Yang said, both amused and exasperated, "I was wondering why the atmosphere felt so strange when I came in."
"Who told you to tell them?" he asked.
"I didn't tell them. I only told the teacher during class, but even the teacher didn't believe me," Da Chun said angrily.
Chu Yang twitched the corner of his mouth: "Next time you ask for leave for me, please keep it low-key."
But at this point, it's impossible to keep a low profile.
Da Chun's voice was so loud that even the next class could hear it.
At this point, they had successfully attracted the attention of their classmates.
Especially Lu Peng, the class's academic representative, who had been feeling suffocated by Chu Yang these past few days, finally got his chance.
"I heard you took time off work specifically to buy a house? Where did you buy it? How many square meters is it?"
Heh, serves you right for bragging. I'm going to expose you to your face and let Su Lingxue and Li Qingshu see your true colors!
"Yeah, Chu Yang, tell us about it, let us broaden our horizons!" a boy asked.
Chu Yang said helplessly, "It's just an old house, very cheap, not worth mentioning."
He genuinely didn't want to reveal that he had bought a house due to demolition compensation.
Making a fortune quietly is his style.
"A building?" Lu Peng laughed. "You really dare to say that. Even an old house here costs a lot of money, right?"
Chu Yang nodded and said, "Indeed, it has spent all my money and I still owe a lot."
"Oh, you're spending your own money?" Lu Peng got even more excited.
Thinking he had found a huge loophole, he pressed on, "You're quite the hidden talent, Chu Yang! I mean, your ability to brag. I never realized it before. I'm truly impressed!"
Some classmates laughed along with him, clearly indicating that they didn't believe a word Chu Yang said.
Wang Xiaoli was also laughing, and said to Su Lingxue, "See? You can still remember him even though he's like this. Besides being handsome and good at studying, I really can't see any other good qualities in him. On the contrary, he's poor and loves to pretend, which I can clearly see."
Su Lingxue frowned and said softly, "He didn't used to brag."
“You said he’s changed from before, now you should realize it, right?” Wang Xiaoli said.
Su Lingxue's expression changed slightly, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Lu Peng continued to fan the flames.
"Chu Yang, I'm not trying to criticize you, but if you're going to ask for leave, just say you're sick or have something to do at home. Using 'buying a house' as an excuse is really something. Even the teacher doesn't believe it..."
Bang!
The whole class fell silent as they saw that it was Han Dachun who had slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
His face was contorted with rage: "Who the hell said Chu Yang was bragging? Who said he was broke? If he's broke, can he take me to a bathhouse... um, can he take me to a restaurant?"
Then he looked at Chu Yang and said, "Brother, you prove it!"
"Da Chun, sit down," Chu Yang said irritably.
"What's all this fuss about? Didn't I just say there's no proof? They can believe it or not."
“But they’re slandering you, I can’t stand it!” Han Dachun stubbornly refused to sit down.
At this moment, a classmate teased, "If Chu Yang can treat the whole class to a meal to prove his strength, I'll believe him, hehe."
Many classmates immediately agreed.
"Yes, yes, we're very easy to bribe!"
"How much we believe depends on the level of the invitation; the more expensive the meal, the more we believe!"
