"Alas, have you heard?"
"That Chen Yang from the economics department's accounting class, the one who hasn't attended classes for a month since school started, he did something huge."
Chen Yang sat in the cafeteria eating and overheard people discussing him from behind. He was a bit stunned. What was going on? How had he become famous at school?
No, who would care about someone like him who hadn't attended classes for a month?
"Classmate, I'm also in the accounting class. How come I don't know what great thing this Chen Yang did? Tell me about it."
Chen Yang squeezed over, saying, "One good deed." The person speaking didn't get annoyed, as if the more people there were, the more energetic he was.
"I heard from others that that kid and the most beautiful woman in our Huadong University of Finance and Economics, Zhang Yingying, they're probably involved."
"Brother, you can't just say that. Dating will get you expelled, especially dating a teacher. Has this kid really tired of living?"
Chen Yang had originally intended to listen to what was being said about him, but when he heard this, he was scared to death. When did he become involved with Zhang Yingying?
If they let this rumor spread, by tomorrow they'd be saying Zhang Yingying had a child with him out of wedlock.
"What do you know?"
"Let me tell you, Zhang Yingying directly slammed the table at the principal for Chen Yang. Otherwise, do you think he wouldn't have been disciplined for not attending classes for a month right after registration?"
"I just ask you, do you think this is possible?"
The person glanced at Chen Yang, his provocative gaze almost making Chen Yang spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Don't talk like that, it really is what happened. Otherwise, why would someone argue with the principal for no reason over a student?"
"I think this is probably true. It's a shame, though. Teacher Zhang is so beautiful. I wonder what kind of ability that Chen Yang has to capture Teacher Zhang's heart in such a short time."
The other few classmates who were eavesdropping on the rumor showed expressions of heartbreak, as if they had seen the scene in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" where Xiao Long Nü was violated by Yin Zhi Ping, their faces filled with righteous indignation.
Chen Yang was going crazy!
What was all this about? Why was he suddenly implicated with Zhang Yingying?
"Classmates, I'm telling you, let's not believe or spread rumors. We can't say things without factual evidence. If this gets out, it will ruin Teacher Zhang's reputation." Sudananovel.com
Chen Yang was almost driven mad, but he couldn't do anything to these guys.
Chen Yang's lungs were about to explode, but the guy calmly glanced at him. This look made Chen Yang feel guilty. If they knew he was the Chen Yang they were talking about, he didn't know how they would mock him.
"I know!"
"You don't need to explain. We understand how you feel. Teacher Zhang is so beautiful, and you're not the only one who likes and admires her."
"When I first heard this news, I felt the same way as you. I didn't want to believe it, didn't want to accept it."
"I also wanted to deceive myself, to make myself believe it wasn't true, but it is true. I personally saw Teacher Zhang come out of the principal's office, her eyes were red from crying."
The guy spoke eloquently, and Chen Yang almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
No, you young man, why do you have so many inner monologues? You're more imaginative than the male lead in a Qiong Yao drama!
Chen Yang was going crazy.
He realized that no matter how he explained himself, in front of these hormone-fueled young men, it would seem pale and powerless.
"Chen Yang, why are you here, you brat? Do you know what we've been through this month? Our counselor is looking for us every day, asking about your whereabouts."
"I'm telling you, if you don't treat us to a good meal today, this is not over."
Just as Chen Yang was about to explain himself again, Liu Xiangyu's voice came from the front.
Hearing Liu Xiangyu call him Chen Yang, the expressions of the students opposite him were like a mixed bag of flavors, incredibly dramatic.
"I'm not Chen Yang, I'm really not. He's mistaken. Don't misunderstand."
While the others were stunned in shock, Chen Yang bolted, his feet sliding on the ground. This was too embarrassing.
Having lived two lifetimes, Chen Yang had never felt so ashamed as to want to crawl into a hole and disappear.
"Yangzi, no way, it's just a meal, you don't have to run away when you see me."
Liu Xiangyu, panting, caught up with Chen Yang outside the restaurant. Chen Yang was also panting from exhaustion. He swore that this was the fastest he had ever run in his life.
"Brother Xiangyu, you almost killed me."
"Those students just now were bad-mouthing me and Teacher Zhang. I was arguing with them from a bystander's perspective, and you just blurted out my name."
"How can I face them? I just wanted to find a hole to crawl into."
Chen Yang had personally experienced social death and could now understand how others felt when they experienced it.
However, sometimes, the joys and sorrows of people are not the same, and it can even be said that the happiness of some people is built on the suffering of others.
"Hahaha..."
Liu Xiangyu was laughing so hard he could barely breathe. He had never imagined that the all-capable Chen Yang would also have such an embarrassing moment as today.
"You're still laughing. I guess we're not brothers anymore."
Chen Yang's face burned. He had made a huge fool of himself today. Seeing his anger, Liu Xiangyu finally stopped laughing.
"Alright, alright, I'll treat you to a meal later, okay?"
"My life is too bitter. I've been called into the office by your counselor for a month because of your affairs, and now I have to treat you to a meal when I come back. Where can I complain about this?"
Liu Xiangyu was also helpless. He and Wang Baolin had been called to the office by Zhang Yingying quite a bit during this time. Who knew Chen Yang would be gone for a month and not come back?
If this happened to Liu Xiangyu and the others, they wouldn't even dare to imagine it. How difficult it was to get into university now, it was no different from a carp leaping over the dragon gate!
Once admitted, they could swim freely in the sea and soar in the sky, with tuition and accommodation covered. It was a transformation from nothing to something, a direct change in social class.
Therefore, everyone who came to study was very serious. Since the establishment of Huadong University of Finance and Economics, Liu Xiangyu had never heard of any freshman daring to skip classes for a month right after registration.
This was clearly showing disrespect to the school. It was good that he wasn't expelled.
"Brother Xiangyu, you're quite something."
"I didn't say you had to treat me. Tell me what happened this month? Why are people spreading rumors about me and Teacher Zhang?"
"There's nothing between us, right? Isn't this ruining Teacher Zhang's reputation!"
Chen Yang was anxious. Not only was it ruining Zhang Yingying's reputation, but his reputation would also be tarnished. Dating at school these days was not a romantic story.
If they were caught, they would be expelled. Moreover, the rumored object was Zhang Yingying. Messing around with a teacher was purely provoking the principal.
