Before this frame-up even began, Wang Anxiang had already anticipated all possible scenarios.
For each scenario, he had taught Hu Zhongzhong a corresponding script.
But the current situation...
This is not good!
Only one huge line flashed through Hu Zhongzhong's mind—
Quickly, go and summon the Tathagata Buddha!
Looking at Wei Qingyu who had stood up, Hu Zhongzhong's Dao heart was completely shattered.
"Wh-what?"
He racked his brain but couldn't figure it out. How could it be Wei Qingyu who would vouch for Lu Xing?!
Wei Qingyu's cool and elegant face showed a hint of weariness.
Staring at Hu Zhongzhong's face, which had lost all expression control, she said word by word.
"From the moment Lu Xing stepped out of the school gate, he and I were together, until we returned to school."
"Is what I said clear enough?"
The entire class fell into a dead silence. No one dared to breathe loudly.
Even Demon Lord Li was stunned. She hadn't expected Wei Qingyu to actually come out and speak up for Lu Xing.
The pride on Hu Zhongzhong's face was completely shattered by Wei Qingyu's words.
He couldn't believe that the unapproachable flower on a high mountain in everyone's hearts had actually been alone with Lu Xing outside for a whole afternoon?!
Hu Zhongzhong stood there in a daze, the TV drama plot of "saving the beauty and being repaid with her body" playing in a 3D surround sound loop in his brain!
What did they talk about outside? Did they hold hands outside? Did they swap spit outside?
Did Lu Xing use his status as a benefactor to force Qingyu to be his girlfriend?!
The thought of that bastard Lu Xing grinning as he kissed Wei Qingyu's delicate lips made Hu Zhongzhong's heart feel like it was being churned into a pile of mud by a giant hand!
Demon Lord Li looked at the composed Lu Xing, then at the calm Wei Qingyu, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Does this count as puppy love?
She's saying she went out shopping with a male classmate right in front of her homeroom teacher. Should I intervene?
Wait!
The keyword "benefactor" instantly got Hu Zhongzhong's brain working again!
Someone who could be the study committee member couldn't be a complete failure. So Hu Zhongzhong did have a bit of cunning.
He immediately grasped the key to the problem and said with some difficulty.
"Qingyu, but classmate Lu just saved you yesterday. What you're saying..."
The meaning was left unsaid, but the point was made.
The implication was: You, Wei Qingyu, might be lying to cover for Lu Xing because he saved you yesterday!
"That's right..."
"Damn, the study committee member is actually pretty smart."
"But Campus Belle Wei wouldn't just lie, would she?"
"What if the person you're covering for is your benefactor? You saw it yesterday. If Lu Xing hadn't fed her chocolate, she would have been embarrassed when she fainted."
"Reasonable and convincing."
The students in the class started discussing among themselves, suddenly feeling that what the study committee member said made a lot of sense.
What was that saying again?
There's a person the whole world curses, but as long as they are good to you, you can't say a single bad word about them, or else you'd be too heartless!
If Lu Xing was a thief but he saved Wei Qingyu, then it would be understandable for Wei Qingyu to cover for him.
Lu Xing raised his head, wanting to laugh a little.
This study committee member's brain works quite fast. Why doesn't he use it for something proper instead of these petty games of jealousy?
So boring.
Hu Zhongzhong was also quite pleased with how fast his brain was working.
Now that Wei Qingyu's alibi was gone, who could prove where Lu Xing had been that day!
"Are you deaf? I said I can vouch for him, can't you hear me?! Shaking your head over there like a hooligan!"
A sharp, scolding voice instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Looking towards the back, a small golden head was particularly eye-catching!
Thump.
Xia Yeshuang irritably pushed her desk away and stood up, looking at Hu Zhongzhong with impatience.
She was already annoyed that everyone's attention was on Wei Qingyu and not on her.
Just now, she and Wei Qingyu both said "me" at the same time. Why did he have to ask Wei Qingyu first?!
Thinking of this, Xia Yeshuang's expression darkened even more.
"I said I'll vouch for Lu Xing, I was with them. Is your ear full of shit? You can't even hear clearly?!"
Holy f*ck!
Such strong attack power!
Everyone in the class was stunned. Even Demon Lord Li didn't know Xia Yeshuang could be so fierce!
And as the target of the attack, Hu Zhongzhong was even more dumbfounded by the scolding.
He opened his mouth to retort, but then he thought of this school tyrant's glorious track record and instantly chickened out.
Seeing him speechless, Xia Yeshuang slammed the table in annoyance, settling the matter.
"I'll vouch for Lu Xing. He's fine."
Kicking Xia Yeshuang was like kicking an iron plate!
Hu Zhongzhong was completely cowed, so he tried to retreat. "Oh, oh, okay, then I'll ask someone else."
He still wants to continue this stupid farce?!
Xia Yeshuang was fed up. Her exquisite brows furrowed, and she opened her mouth to curse, going for the kill shot.
"I say, great Study Committee Member Hu — you’re seriously acting out right now. You can’t even take care of your own money, and yet you expect the whole class to waste time wiping your ass for you? How much face do you even have? You’ve already wasted ten minutes of every classmate’s time. An inch of time is an inch of gold, man — so tell me, where are you gonna get the money to pay them back?"
Awesome.
Lu Xing was stunned.
This is truly awesome!
Such a long output without even taking a breath, and with such rhythm!
Lu Xing couldn't help but sigh.
"If this Xia Yeshuang became a rapper, the status of the number one female rapper in the country would drop again..."
Hearing this, Li Dachun said dumbly.
"She can't be a rapper. Xia Yeshuang has already finished high school. Her education level is too high."
(TL: Bruh, rappers are catching strays.)
Lu Xing chuckled.
Seeing that Hu Zhongzhong was speechless, Demon Lord Li could only dutifully come out to clean up the battlefield.
"Alright, alright, Zhongzhong, let's put the matter of your lost money aside for now."
"Many classes have had people lose money recently. It doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem with a student in our class."
Hu Zhongzhong's face was flushed red with embarrassment. He quickly nodded.
He had never expected that this damn girl Xia Yeshuang would also stick her nose in it!
Otherwise, the title of "suspected thief" would have long been pinned on Lu Xing's head!
Damn it!
With Xia Yeshuang stirring things up like this, who would still question Lu Xing?!
It's not like someone could have enough face to make the two most beautiful women in the entire school cover for him at the same time, right?
Hu Zhongzhong was dying of embarrassment and wanted to slip back to his seat, but he was suddenly grabbed by the arm.
He looked back.
Lu Xing smiled and nodded at him. "Teacher Li is right. Study Committee Member, it's understandable to be anxious about losing money."
"But, in the future, don't say things that are detrimental to unity."
"It's so disheartening. Anyone who didn't know would think the Study Committee Member looks at all his classmates like they're thieves."
With just a few words...
The way the entire class looked at the Study Committee Member changed.
...
A "catch the thief" event that started with a roar and ended with a whimper was over just like that. But this scene was once again passed around by word of mouth among the students of No. 1 High School.
The first rule of rumors and gossip—it might be fake, but it must be funny!
So-
When Lu Xing finally heard this melon, it was through Li Dachun's mouth.
"Everyone is saying..."
"That both Wei Qingyu and Xia Yeshuang like you, so they arranged to have a boxing match yesterday at noon. Whoever won would get you."
Lu Xing's jaw dropped.
"They also said that you left because you thought they were fighting too fiercely."
Lu Xing really wanted to die.
Goddamn it! I'm calling the cops!
As the figure who, according to rumors, had made the two most beautiful women in No. 1 High School fight over him...
Lu Xing instantly became the prime example of a simp who had turned the tables and was now singing a triumphant song.
He was even hailed by the simps as the one true god, accepting their worship!
Li Dachun asked with some curiosity.
"Xing-xing, you're really awesome. Even Xia Yeshuang spoke up for you! Are you hiding some secret girl-chasing manual? Quick, quick, teach me!"
Lu Xing was speechless.
"Don't you know whether I've gotten the girl or not?"
Something's not right.
Too not right.
120% not right!
Starting from yesterday, the direction of Lu Xing's entire school life had suddenly become bizarre!
"Are you free now?"
"Hey! Come out with me, I have something to tell you!"
Lu Xing looked up.
To his left stood Wei Qingyu, to his right stood Xia Yeshuang. At the door squatted a group of simps who wanted to learn from his experience, letting out suppressed squeals from time to time.
As expected of his reputation, the one true god of the Simp Cult!
