Chapter 598: Chapter 597: Noon Tutoring
"Knock!" Upon hearing Lu Mei shout ’report to the teacher,’ Zhen Yu raised her hand and knocked on the back of her head, fiercely exclaiming, "Report to the teacher? Can a teacher follow you 24/7? Do you even know what ’don’t leave after school’ means?!"
"Zhen Yu." Under Lu Huai’s pleading gaze, Han Mingyue stood up, walked over, and grabbed Zhen Yu’s sleeve.
He didn’t say much, just called out her name.
Upon hearing his voice, Zhen Yu immediately turned around, glanced at him, sighed, and loosened her grip without any principle.
However, as she let go, she still didn’t forget to leave some harsh words for Lu Huai.
"If you don’t want to see me in the Martial Arts Hall, then keep your cousin’s damn mouth shut!"
Lu Huai hadn’t even managed to respond when Lu Mei, newly freed, retorted, "Who are you calling broken, hmm!"
"Stop talking!" Lu Huai covered his cousin’s mouth and warned in her ear, "If you provoke her further, she’ll take all her anger out on me! Please, as your cousin, just stop!"
"Why should she bully you!" Although Lu Mei’s mouth was covered, her eyes were still expressive!
Understanding the defiance in his cousin’s eyes, Lu Huai pulled her and headed towards the door, "Come out with me! Do you really not know or are you pretending? If Zhen Yu really wanted to handle you, one slap would be enough..."
It’s uncertain how Lu Huai explained to his cousin, but by the time the bell for the third period rang, Lu Mei, who entered the classroom on time, was significantly more behaved than before.
Even when she came in, she didn’t even glance towards Zhen Yu and sat straight down in her seat.
Thus, this turmoil started because of Lu Huai and ended because of him too.
—
"Hey, hey, hey! Guys, hurry up! Go see! Class One is having a commotion!"
Only two or three minutes into the break after the third period, suddenly a male student rushed back into the class shouting.
Following this, half of Class Two students rushed out excitedly!
Jia Ming also ran out, even giving Han Mingyue a shout as he passed him!
"Let’s go! Go out and see what’s happening!"
Yet, Han Mingyue remained still, continuing whatever he was doing.
He casually refused with, "Not going!"
Jia Ming shook his head and ran out himself, already used to Han Mingyue’s disinterest in spectacles.
Zhen Yu also knew Han Mingyue’s personality and wasn’t curious either, so she just glanced at the others and planned to continue reading.
But then, Han Mingyue suddenly leaned close and whispered in her ear, "No matter who asks what, just keep playing dumb!"
Zhen Yu turned her head in surprise!
His sudden remark at this moment made it hard not to suspect that he had something to do with the issue in Class One...
Receiving her questioning gaze, Han Mingyue cautiously nodded.
Zhen Yu gasped! Just by hearing the noise outside, she knew this matter was big, so what exactly had Han Mingyue been up to in secret! Even rousing Old Luan, the hefty guidance director...
Unfortunately, this wasn’t the right moment to ask questions.
So, after sweeping a glance at the sparsely seated classmates around her, Zhen Yu suddenly picked up the notebook from the desk, flipped it to the last page, and wrote a message—"Meet at the stadium grandstand after lunch!"
Han Mingyue, who had been closely watching Zhen Yu’s movements, naturally saw the message being written. So as soon as Zhen Yu finished writing, he softly responded, "Hmm!"
——
Though the incident in class one was quickly suppressed by the school’s administration, the students who were watching still came to know about it.
But just as the commotion was subsiding, the bell for the fourth period rang, and everyone was hurried to class without time to discuss it.
After the fourth period ended, everyone rushed to lunch, so Zhen Yu still had no idea what exactly happened in class one.
It was only when she sat facing Bai Xue preparing to eat that Bai Xue was about to speak when Hu Xi suddenly sat next to Zhen Yu with her tray!
As soon as she sat down, she asked in a low voice, "Was it you? Did you do it!?"
Zhen Yu, confused yet clear-headed, glanced at her and replied, "What are you talking about?!"
Hu Xi wasn’t misled by Zhen Yu’s expression because she had firmly concluded in her mind that the morning’s events must be related to Zhen Yu!
So she continued, "Don’t you know what you did! You’re pushing her to death!"
"Pushing who to death? You?" Zhen Yu deliberately misinterpreted Hu Xi’s words and trapped her in her own question.
Seeing that Zhen Yu was evasive and refused to answer directly, Hu Xi abruptly steeled herself and asked outright, "Stop pretending! Was it you who spilled the beans about the lunchtime tutoring?"
But before Zhen Yu could even respond, Bai Xue suddenly intervened from the side with an exaggerated and loud voice, "What?! Hu Xi, you had tutoring at noon!?"
After Bai Xue yelled out, the cafeteria suddenly got noisy.
"Hey? Did you hear what the school beauty just said?"
"She said that Hu Xi had tutoring at noon!"
"Really? Then the incident this morning in class one, could it be her?"
"It’s possible..."
——
Hu Xi never expected Bai Xue to expose her publicly! She froze on the spot!
Once she snapped out of it, her first reaction was to stand up frantically waving her hands and shouting, "It wasn’t me! Really, it wasn’t me! Don’t misunderstand!"
"It doesn’t matter if it was you or not! It’s still an issue for class one! Xiao Yu had already transferred to class two. Even though you share a dorm, I’ve never seen you interact with Zhen Yu! How come now that something happened, you want to get close to her? I suspect your intentions aren’t good! Xiao Yu, let’s go! We don’t need to bother with this ’fox’ who cannot be beaten, and avoid making a fuss."
Zhen Yu, going along with Bai Xue, got up and walked away with her tray without leaving a word for Hu Xi.
She even thought to herself with a smile, "Bai Xue’s verbal skills have really improved!"
During lunch, Bai Xue briefed Zhen Yu about the incident that happened in class one in the morning.
Apparently, someone had leaked the information about ’Zhang Lei harassing female students from our class under the guise of lunchtime tutoring,’ which provoked the students in class one to question and panic over their class teacher.
After all, some things cannot withstand scrutiny!
Once everyone knew what kind of person Zhang Lei was, those unusual details during teacher-student interactions were infinitely magnified in the minds of the students, leading to paranoia and mutual distrust!
They immediately started speculating about which girls had participated in the noon tutoring sessions, and righteously demanded that the victims bravely step forward to expose Zhang Lei!
And so, the matter broke out...
