Chapter 927: Xiao Chong Side Story 22_2
If the other party is afraid of early romance causing academic decline, or simply afraid of being caught by the disciplinary teacher and criticized with a parent notification, Xiao Chong can understand.
But from his discerning eye, Zheng Ying is just playing with Mi Yunzhi, in modern terms, thatâs a "backup."
Normally, other peopleâs relationship issues donât concern him, even if itâs about his brother and his girlfriend, he wouldnât intervene; itâs a matter of consent on both sides.
However, since they dragged his girl into this, he couldnât just ignore it.
If the guy wasnât Mi Yunzhi, Xiao Chong would directly publish the coupleâs date photos on the schoolâs bulletin board for a quick and effective solution.
Modern society has so many tools, itâs really convenient.
But since one party is his junior, he has to give some face and let him handle it himself.
Only, Mi Yunzhi hasnât dealt with the rumor yet, and surprisingly, the usually slow-to-react-to-gossip Lin Wanwan already knows.
Lin Wanwan being coincidental, that day Han Xiaoyan asked her on QQ if sheâs been seeing someone lately.
Lin Wanwan was stunned and asked who told her, she hadnât.
Han Xiaoyan just replied that sheâd heard and was asking, and if not, just forget she mentioned it.
Lin Wanwan kept pressing Han Xiaoyan to find out who told her, but she remained silent, leaving Lin Wanwan restless.
Now knowing it was truly a rumor, she didnât mind.
However, she still told Xiao Chong: "Next time you hear things about me at school, let me know! I donât want to be the last to know my own rumors."
Xiao Chong leaned against the window with a smile, looking at Lin Wanwan, "Alright~ as you wish."
The next day at school, Lin Wanwan suddenly brought up gossip to her deskmate.
Qi Bingqiong seized the chance to tease her and Mi Yunzhi; Lin Wanwan knew she would, as her deskmate tends to be blunt and unrestrained.
But itâs perfect; Lin Wanwan wanted to take this opportunity to clarify.
She hadnât said anything before to avoid wrongly implicating others, but now that she knows itâs Zheng Ying spreading rumors about her, itâs only right to discuss what the other party has done.
Lin Wanwan didnât retaliate against Zheng Ying based on suspicion, after chatting with Xiao Chong last night, she logged into QQ and directly asked Han Xiaoyan if the rumor of her relationship came from Zheng Ying and if it involved her and Mi Yunzhi.
Initially, Han Xiaoyan didnât want to say, but under Lin Wanwanâs persistent questioning and naming, she eventually admitted.
Lin Wanwan then shared the story about Zheng Ying and Mi Yunzhi, and informed her the rumor had nothing to do with her.
Whether Han Xiaoyan believed it, Lin Wanwan didnât know, but she definitely had to dispel the rumor.
Talking to Qi Bingqiong today is for the same purpose.
If it was about Xiao Chong, sheâd admit it. The worst would be the rumor reaching the teacher, triggering a series of reprimands and parent notifications.
But thatâs not the case now; why should she take the blame for others?
Just then she told Qi Bingqiong: "Donât mix things up, how could I possibly have something with Mi Yunzhi? How many words have we spoken? Heâs with Zheng Ying from Class Three, and theyâre great together!
I even saw them go to a movie together before; she cozied up to him and drank from his cup. Youâre close with Zheng Ying, didnât you know about this?"
Qi Bingqiong was excited by this gossip, "Really? Zheng Ying went to the movies with Mi? Shared a drink?"
"Sure, you havenât heard about their relationship?"
"Actually, Iâve heard bits here and there!" Qi Bingqiong, being fond of gossip, seemed intrigued.
After a while, she leaned in mysteriously to Lin Wanwan, "Let me tell you something too. Last week, when we were playing Escape Room, Zheng Ying was frightened and hid in a senior from Sophomoreâs arms. This Class Three belle has quite an exciting life outside school."
Then she gave Lin Wanwan a knowing look.
Lin Wanwan felt a rush of chaos hearing this, but it wasnât about her; she was just doing to others as theyâve done to her.
Besides, Zheng Ying fabricated rumors about her, while everything she said was witnessed firsthand.
Soon, the news spread completely among the students.
And Mi Yunzhi seemed to gain sudden boldness; one day he openly delivered afternoon tea to Zheng Ying at Class Threeâs door, causing quite a stir amongst the crowd.
