All the students were shocked.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The class monitor of the competition class was a top student who did not like and did not want to interfere with other peopleâs affairs. But when she realized things were getting worse, she immediately went looking for the teacher.
Some students decided to voice out.
âYe Qingran, you only need to show us whatâs in your bag and prove that you didnât take it.â
âYeah, donât fight. Itâs way too frightening.â
âIf you didnât steal it, why are you afraid of showing us whatâs inside? Weâre all classmates; thereâs no need to fight.â
Ye Qingran shoved Hua Chi with force.
She demanded, âI donât know if you guys would allow anyone to search through your bag, but my bag is not something that anyone can go through just because they want to. So, if I donât give consent, you guys would continue to insist that I took the money, right?â
The students kept silent with an uneasy look on their faces. They feel that she was overreacting. It is just a matter of opening her bag and allow them to see what is inside, but she needs to create a big fuss out of it.
There might be a possibility that she had hidden the money in her bag.
Looking at the expressions shown in front of her, she could imagine what they had in mind.
âSeems like the only way for me to prove my innocence is to let you guys check whatâs in my bag. Alright, fine, Iâll give permission for that, but there are also some things I must clarify first,â her gaze fell upon Mu Qingxue, âsince you two insisted on this, Iâll let you do it. If you manage to find the money you lose in my bag, then itâs useless for me to continue denying it. You can either inform the teacher to punish me or report to the police. But what if you fail to find the money?â
Mu Qingxue assured gently, âIf there is proof showing that we had wrongly accused you, we would naturally admit our mistake and apologize to you.â
âHow would you do that?â
âIn what way would you want us to express our sincerity?â
âHow about you shaving your head immediately and apologize to me with a bald head.â
Without hesitation, Mu Qingxue agreed as she was the one who put the money there; thus, it would be impossible for Ye Qingran to defend herself.
Sitting down, Ye Qingran placed the bag which was behind her on the table, âPlease take a good look and see if the money is inside.â
After Hua Chi unzipped the bag, he emptied all the contents on the table.
The first thing that fell out was a pack of sanitary pads.
The crowd uproared.
âThis belongs to my girlfriend,â the owner of the bag calmly explained as she waved her hand, âshe left it here with me.â
No one suspected anything.
Several male students began to laugh naughtily.
On the other hand, a few of the female students blushed in embarrassment.
Aside from that, the bag did not contain anything suspicious. The others were mainly books and some necessities needed by students.
The couple was stunned by the outcome!
What was going on? They were confident that the money was in Ye Qingranâs bag.
But how did it turned out differently?
Ye Qingran spread her hands and demanded, âSo did you guys found the money youâre looking for in my bag? Is this enough to prove my innocence?â
Looking towards her, Hua Chi began murmuring in shock, âHow is that possible? There was no doubt...â
âNo doubt what?â
The boyâs face turned red while remaining silent.
Ye Qingran looked at Mu Qingxue and laughed mockingly, âDo you find it strange when you find out that the money isnât in my bag? Itâs supposed to be with me right, but since itâs not with me now, where could it be? You had searched upon your desk, but you havenât checked your bag. Now let me help you with it.â
At the same time, she picked up Mu Qingxueâs schoolbag and opened it.
Just like how Hua Chi had done, she poured everything inside on the table.
The first thing that fell out was a plastic bag.
Inside was a stack of RMB.
It was the materials fees that everyone had just handed in.
The students were dumbfounded!
âOh my god! Iâd reminded you to search properly. If youâd listened to what Iâd said, you wouldnât waste everyoneâs time! With the time wasted, when are we able to finish our workbook?â
âI agree. The money is clearly in your bag. Instead of checking thoroughly, you had framed others from stealing it.â
âShe insisted that Ye Qingran stole the money, but the money was found in her bag instead. Is there some conspiracy going on?â
â¦
âIâm sorry, Iâd misjudged you,â Mu Qingxueâs face was filled with guilt as she apologized, âIâd forgotten that receiving the money, I immediately kept it to avoid losing it. Iâm sorry for wasting everyoneâs time.â
In addition to that, she apologized to Ye Qingran as well.
Ye Qingran coldly replied, âAnd then?â
Mu Qingxue felt embarrassed.
âYe Qingran, what else do you want?â Hua Chi continued playing hero courageously.
âWhat do you mean by what else do I want? Have you forgotten about our deal?
Everyone here is a witness to our agreement. You have to apologize to me with a bald head if you donât find any money in my bag.â
Mu Qingxue turned pale instantly.
It would be impossible for her to shave her head!
She felt reluctant to cut off her hair as she had always maintained it the way it was throughout the years. In addition, the look of a bald head was too unattractive.
Hua Chi warned, âYe Qingran, thereâs a limit for everything!â
âYou failed to recognize that you had crossed the line when you accused me just now!â Ye Qingran slammed the table hard after finishing her sentence.
She stood up again with a cold expression and an angered tone, âApart from barking like a mad dog in front of me, you had insulted and accused me of stealing money without any solid evidence. Who do you think you are? What has this got to do with you? Are you her boyfriend? No, I donât think so. Then what does that make you? A dog belonging to Mu Qingxue!â
âYou!!!â
âStay out of my way!â
Ye Qingran shoved the boy aside while staring at Mu Qingxue, âThe entire class had been witnessing. Well, if you have no shame for what youâd done, then forget about shaving your head. Thereâs nothing much for I could do anyway, but stay away as far as possible when you see me in the future.â
The trembling Mu Qingxue uttered, âI have already apologized to you.â
With tears in her eyes and her red lips slightly parted, she looked pitifully at Ye Qingran.
There was a look of desperation on her face.
Ye Qingran pretended not to notice while abruptly asked, âWhy are you acting like this? Those unaware of what happened would assume that I raped you.â
A puff sound burst out in the room as some female students began laughing loudly during an intimate moment of enjoyment.
There was no doubt that the female lead was usually prevalent among men and also very envied by most women.
Just then, the teacher stepped into the classroom and asked, âWhatâs going on?â
The female student sitting in the front explained the incident occurred.
The teacher who stepped in was a wise woman who taught mathematics.
As soon as she heard what had happened, she knew what was going on.
She gazed upon Mu Qingxue with her expressive eyes.
Before she could say anything, the girl sobbed, âTeacher, Iâm sorry...â
âYou donât have to apologize to me,â the teacher declared, âYouâre in the wrong. The person you should apologize to is Ye Qingran.â
Mu Qingxue kept quiet.
Another female student yelled before she could react, âShe has to shave her head before she can apologize to Ye Qingran.â
âThatâs right. Mu Qingxue agreed to it when she wanted to search Ye Qingranâs bag.â
âForget about it. She wonât shave her head. Those around her would mock a woman who shaved her head.â
Mu Qingxueâs tears streamed down her face, âIâd never mentioned about backing out on the deal. Itâs just that Iâm currently in class.â
A female student retorted, âI wonder if anyone is foolish enough to believe your excuse.â
