Chapter 601: Chapter 600: When Pushed to the Limit, the Dagger Is Revealed
As soon as Yang Yueyue finished speaking, Li Mengting’s crying abruptly halted! A sense of dread instantly gripped her heart!
Sure enough, the next second, Ren Jing, who had been maintaining a detached demeanor, suddenly chimed in!
"Li Mengting! Since you say it wasn’t you, let’s just assume it wasn’t for now. However, we definitely can’t keep covering for you and Hu Xi about not being in the dormitory at noon, so you’ll have to explain it to Director Feng yourselves!"
"Right! We really can’t keep this a secret any longer!" Niu Lili was the first to echo the sentiment.
Zhang Lili spoke even more bluntly: "I’ve always thought it’s better to tell the truth! If it hadn’t been for all of you agreeing to her that day..."
"Please don’t! Please don’t tell anyone we weren’t in the dormitory at noon! I’m begging you!" Suddenly, it was Hu Xi who couldn’t sit still any longer. "Since you’ve already covered for us, can’t we just let this drop now?!"
"Of course not!" Zhang Zhe immediately countered: "Even though Director Feng said the investigation would be private, the rumors in our class and even the whole grade have never stopped! You said that this would blow over in a few days, that no one would mention it anymore! What now? It’s been three days! Aren’t our female classmates still being gossiped about every time they step out of the classroom? Why should your actions drag us down?!"
Hu Xi was left speechless by the retort.
But she was clearly the one who had been implicated as well, and the one who suffered the most!
She found out about the incident just like everyone else in the class! Li Mengting hadn’t breathed a word to her about it!
If it hadn’t been only the two of them attending Zhang Lei’s tutoring at noon, Hu Xi wouldn’t have known that person was Li Mengting...
---
Everyone goes through life for the first time, who doesn’t get angry?
Even though she’s usually tactful, Hu Xi couldn’t care less at this moment! All she wanted to do was to preserve her own reputation!
But that meant she would inevitably have to expose Li Mengting first!
Without hesitation, Hu Xi virtually confronted her straightforwardly: "Li Mengting! At this point! What are you thinking?! Can you just give a straight answer?!"
As soon as she finished her question, everyone in the dormitory fell silent, waiting for Li Mengting’s response—including Zhen Yu!
Zhen Yu just wanted to see if Li Mengting, when pushed to the wall, would continue to lash out at her.
But...
Li Mengting indeed gave up on the tough nut that was Zhen Yu! But she did not give up on making a last-ditch struggle!
"What does this have to do with me! I’ve been covering for you for so long, it’s time you owned up to it yourself! Hu Xi!"
"!!!"
Hu Xi clearly understood what Li Mengting was saying, but she preferred to act as if she hadn’t understood anything at all!
Indeed, it’s the silent dogs that bite!!!
"Li Mengting, what nonsense are you talking about! What does this have to do with me! You’re clearly the one who caused this mess!"
The other five people in the dormitory, except Zhen Yu: "???"
These two were actually turning on each other! So who was the one who was harassed in the end?!
It doesn’t matter who it is! Anyway, this trouble must have been caused by them two! This conclusion is definitely correct!
——
Just as Hu Xi had retorted, Li Mengting suddenly changed her tack! She shouted straight at all her roommates: "You have to believe me! It’s really not me! I usually don’t even hang out with the boys, let alone a male teacher! Unlike Hu Xi, who flirts with the boys in our class every day..."
"Li Mengting! I’m gonna f%#&...."
Hu Xi was about to explode with anger! Especially upon hearing the words ’flirts with’, she couldn’t bear it any longer and jumped straight down from the upper bunk! She swept onto Li Mengting’s bed like a gust of wind, and began to scratch her! Pinch her! Hit her!
This was originally just a harassment incident!
But if Li Mengting’s words just now were spread, it could easily be misunderstood as Hu Xi intentionally seducing Zhang Lei! Such malice was too much! Hu Xi felt she had to beat Li Mengting to death or she wouldn’t be doing herself justice!
Zhen Yu immediately realized that these two had started fighting, but she only flicked her fingers reflexively a few times before lying still again.
Eating a hundred beans and never finding them rank or anything, I’m sick of it! Sick of it! Zhen Yu expressed that she really wanted to be an indifferent ’salted fish’!
Fortunately, the reactions of the others weren’t too slow, immediately getting off their beds and pulling themselves up... but breaking up the fight... let’s forget about that!
Feigning concern and hollering "stop fighting" from the bedside, that was still acceptable! Going up in the dark to break it up? What if you get accidentally hurt? So, still a no! A definite no!
Where there’s hitting, there’s cursing! Where there’s cursing, there’s wailing! Getting hurt means crying and screaming too!
In the dead of night when all was quiet, it didn’t take long to disturb the neighbors next door and across the hall, and then the dormitory teacher was also summoned!
——
"Quickly tell me! What on earth is going on? Where is the dorm leader of 208?"
When the flashlight beam mercilessly shone on everyone’s face, everyone squinted and dodged the light.
Only Zhang Zhe squinted his eyes and his mouth was not idle, pointing with his hand at Hu Xi, just pulled apart by the dorm teacher and standing on her right side, "The dorm leader is standing right beside you!"
Upon hearing this—the dorm teacher realized: Ah, so the one who had been suppressing another girl and fighting was this one! Quite the fighter, huh!
She was thinking of taking everyone down to the only duty room with electricity on the first floor for a lecture, when she counted the heads and found one missing!
"One, two, three... why is there only seven people? Is someone missing overnight?!" Already furious, the dorm teacher’s tone harshened instantly.
It wasn’t until then that Zhen Yu pulled back her bed curtain and popped out her head saying, "Teacher, I’m here! If there’s nothing else, I’m going to sleep! I still have to run in the morning!"
The dorm teacher was so embarrassed in her heart! Your roommates are turning the place upside down and you can still sleep!?
But what could she say? Zhen Yu didn’t participate in the fight!
If she wanted to know what happened, Zhen Yu could easily say she saw nothing with the bed curtain closed! Besides, aren’t these many eyewitnesses enough to be questioned? So she had to ’force’ a nod and say, "Alright then, you sleep! The rest of you, quickly follow me downstairs! Don’t disturb the rest of the dormitory!"
Amidst the chaos, Zhen Yu sneakily let Little White Snake out to help her eavesdrop from the corners.
Know yourself and know the enemy, only then can you be well informed!
On the surface, she had to appear decidedly uninvolved, but she still had to watch out when necessary! Who knew if that bunch of girls would suddenly come up with nonsense again, and throw the blame back on her head!
