Chapter 19

The next day, Gu Xiao felt that something was wrong.

The way her classmates looked at her and Chu An yesterday was the complete opposite of how they were looking at them today. If yesterday was only gossipy, today, it was as if they hated them so much that they wished they could die.

What’s wrong? Could it be that these girls were jealous of Chu An teaching her too much yesterday?

“What are you looking at?” Chu An knocked Gu Xiao’s head with a pen and said softly, “Pay attention in class.”

Gu Xiao nodded, but she still had many doubts in her heart. Hence, she took a piece of draft paper and wrote on it.

[Don’t you feel that the students are looking at you strangely?]

[Yeah.]

[What’s wrong with us?]

[Nothing. Ignore those people.]

“Gu Xiao, Chu An, what are you doing!” The teacher threw a piece of chalk at the two of them, which accurately hit Gu Xiao’s head. “How dare you pass a note in class? Stand up!”

The students whispered among themselves.

“Chu An, what’s wrong with you? And you, Gu Xiao, you’ve only been here for two days, and you’re already starting to cause trouble and not focus on your studies. Come to my office after class!”

‘What’s the situation?’

Gu Xiao looked at Chu An, who shrugged, indicating that he didn’t know either.

After class, the two of them arrived at the office in confusion.

“Teacher Gu, we…” Gu Xiao probed.

“Stand there and don’t move. I’ll call your form teacher over,” Teacher Gu said as she opened a web page and left quickly after placing it in front of them.

On the homepage of the school forum was a photo of Chu An and Ji Yao!

There was even a caption on it: “Shocking! Ji Yao and Chu An are already together. Gu Xiao is actually a third party?”

Could this be the reason why their classmates were looking at them strangely today?

“They actually believe such a ridiculous rumor?” Gu Xiao finished reading the article in shock. There were actually countless replies below.

[No way, Gu Xiao is actually that kind of girl?]

[Not only Gu Xiao, but Chu An is also a scumbag!]

[In just one night, both of their images have collapsed!]

The more Gu Xiao read, the angrier she got. She almost crushed her phone.

“When did you take these photos with her?” Gu Xiao glared at Chu An and questioned.

“They are photoshopped. You can clearly tell.” Chu An was very calm.

“So what do we do now?”

“Ji Yao doesn’t use her brain. If she has these photos, I definitely have the originals.” Chu An opened his phone and flipped through the photo gallery. “Look at this. I’m the only one in it.”

As they were talking, Teacher Gu had called Teacher Xu, the form teacher, over.

“Xu Dong, look at these two students. Aren’t you going to educate them?”

Teacher Xu also looked worried, but didn’t reprimand them immediately. Instead, he asked Teacher Gu what had happened.

“They were passing a note in my class. Look!” Teacher Gu showed the paper to Teacher Xu. Teacher Xu frowned after reading it. “There’s nothing implicating written on this note.”

“Teacher, you might have misunderstood. My relationship with Chu An isn’t what you think,” Gu Xiao said directly.

“Yes, I also believe that the two of you aren’t that kind of person.” Teacher Xu took a sip of tea. “Then what’s going on with the forum?”

“Teacher, those photos were all photoshopped by Ji Yao, and the article is also a complete fabrication.” As he spoke, Chu An showed the original photos to his teacher.

“There are no traces of photoshopping in any of these photos. How can you prove that your photos aren’t the ones that have been photoshopped?”

“It’s very simple. Firstly, the quality of the original photo must be better. You can tell by enlarging the photo dozens of times. Secondly, this photo of me was taken a year ago. At that time, I didn’t know Ji Yao at all. How could I have been with her for a few months?”

Teacher Xu smiled and nodded. She looked at Teacher Gu. “Did you hear that? The two children are innocent. As for Ji Yao, although she has good grades, a good family background, and is smart, she has to use these appropriately. It’s better to bring her over so I can educate her.”

After saying that, he patted Gu Xiao’s head. “Good luck, Student Gu. You have a lot of potential. You did well in the math test today.”

“Yes, yes. Thank you, Teacher Xu!” Gu Xiao and Chu An smiled in unison.

Once the matter was settled, they left the office.

“I didn’t expect Ji Yao to do such a disgusting thing.” Gu Xiao looked angry.

Chu An was just 1.8 meters tall. From his point of view, Gu Xiao looked like a soft meat bun, her cheeks puffing out in anger.

He really wanted to poke her cheek. However, he held back. “Yes. If it’s just rumors about you, I don’t want to interfere. However, since she’s even starting rumors about me, I have to interfere.”

Why did he like to give himself away by consciously protesting his innocence so much?
