Rebirth begins with picking up a cold and aloof school beauty

Seeing this, Chen Zhou roughly guessed how the situation would develop next.

Xiang Hang, in danger!

If things go wrong, this guy's future is over!

I must help him find a way out of this predicament.

Chen Zhou looked around and quickly located the girls' dormitory building.

I have an idea in mind.

Then, he simply strolled over, acting like he was invisible.

At that moment, seeing Xiang Hang's furious expression, squad leader Fu Ying bravely stepped forward and stood in front of Yang Qian.

She shouted, "Xiang Hang, what are you doing?!"

Peng Yuting stood to the side and accused, "Xiang Hang, I never thought you were this kind of person!"

"You scoundrel! You pervert!" Peng Yuting shouted.

"Nausea!!"

Before the division into arts and science classes, Peng Yuting and Xiang Hang were classmates.

At this moment, with acquaintances on both sides, Peng Yuting chose to stand on her best friend's side.

Let's fight Xiang Hang on Yang Qian's behalf!

Xiang Hang became even more agitated, angrily demanding, "Yang Qian, explain yourself clearly! When the hell did I touch your butt?"

"If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'm not letting this go!"

Xiang Hang felt even more wronged than Dou E.

But to those unaware of the truth, his outburst of anger appeared as mere exasperation.

Long Jiajia thought for a moment, realizing the gravity of the matter, and then asked to confirm, "Yang Qian, did Xiang Hang really touch your butt?"

"Could there be some misunderstanding?"

Faced with Xiang Hang's fury, Yang Qian felt guilty.

She dared not add fuel to the fire.

So Yang Qian didn't answer directly, but instead acted like a victim.

She covered her face and wept bitterly!

Long Jiajia: "…………"

Say something!

Seeing her best friend like this, Peng Yuting became anxious and said, "Xiang Hang, you tell me yourself, how do you plan to handle this?"

"What the hell do I do? I didn't even touch her ass!"

"She's talking nonsense!"

Xiang Hang tried his best to clarify.

Peng Yuting said, "You mean, Yang Qian framed you?"

Xiang Hang nodded, "That's right!"

Peng Yuting scoffed and said coldly, "Xiang Hang! Yang Qian is just a girl, do you think she would use her innocence to frame you?"

"What's she after?!"

Peng Yuting questioned loudly.

Fu Ying repeatedly questioned, "Yes, you're saying Yang Qian framed you? What's her motive? What's the evidence?"

Xiang Hang was originally a dark-skinned physical education student, physically strong but simple-minded.

Faced with the girls' onslaught, he panicked, became flustered, and was momentarily speechless.

"I...she..." Xiang Hang didn't know how to explain.

At this moment, Liang Wenbo and Liu Xing came over to see what was going on.

Xiang Hang immediately said, "Liang Wenbo, we've known each other since we were kids. You know what kind of person I am, right?"

"Do you think I would touch her butt?"

Liang Wenbo: "..."

Liang Wenbo was stunned. He thought to himself, "We have indeed known each other since we were little."

But, don't we seem to be rivals?

"Uh..." Liang Wenbo didn't know how to say it, "Um... are there any witnesses?"

After holding it in for a while, Liang Wenbo finally asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Long Jiajia had a sudden realization and exclaimed, "That's right! Wasn't Chen Zhou just here?"

"Maybe he saw the whole thing."

Fu Ying also looked delighted. "Oh right, where's Chen Zhou?"

The crowd looked around, trying to find eyewitnesses.

Only Yang Qian looked unwell, her heart filled with unease.

No way?

Did Chen Zhou really witness the whole thing?

If that's the case, wouldn't it be me who gets disgraced instead of Xiang Hang?

No! Absolutely not!

Whatever, I'll deny it to the death and insist that Xiang Hang acted like a hooligan!

So what if Chen Zhou witnessed it? There was nothing he could do!

Yang Qian had already made her plans in her mind.

Soon, Chen Zhou's figure came into everyone's view.

He walked slowly from the girls' dormitory building, hands in his pockets.

Long Jiajia quickly stepped forward and asked bluntly, "Chen Zhou, did you just see Xiang Hang molest Yang Qian?"

Chen Zhou calmly shook his head. "No."

Long Jiajia asked in surprise, "So, Yang Qian really framed Xiang Hang?"

Everyone turned their attention to Yang Qian.

Yang Qian's eyes widened in surprise.

But Peng Yuting preemptively questioned, "Chen Zhou, explain yourself!"

"Didn't you see Xiang Hang molest Yang Qian? Or did you witness the whole thing but Xiang Hang did nothing?"

Chen Zhou recounted calmly, "I witnessed the whole thing and am certain that Xiang Hang did nothing."

"And I also heard that Yang Qian asked Xiang Hang to give up her spot on the district basketball team to her godson, I think his name was Dai Cong?"

"But Xiang Hang refused and said he would tell Teacher Gao. Yang Qian was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she falsely accused Xiang Hang of molesting her."

"That's the truth of the matter."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Hang looked grateful, his eyes filled with the same gratitude he would show to his second parents.

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

They all frowned and looked at Yang Qian, their faces filled with sighs.

Long Jiajia thought to herself: Holy crap! I never expected Yang Qian to be this kind of person! Framed someone, that's too much!

Liang Wenbo thought to himself, "No wonder Chen Zhou doesn't like Yang Qian anymore. Is this woman toxic? I should stay away from her from now on."

Fu Ying was heartbroken. Yang Qian had lied to her again?! She always used her as a pawn?! This was intolerable!

Sensing the strange looks from everyone, Yang Qian hurriedly said, "Don't listen to Chen Zhou's nonsense, he's in cahoots with Xiang Hang!"

"They ganged up on me, waaaaah..."

"They're just men helping men! Waaaaah..."

Yang Qian pointed at Chen Zhou and Xiang Hang, then hugged her knees and cried bitterly, looking utterly pitiful and aggrieved.

Fu Ying made an "uh" sound and asked in confusion, "Whom should I believe?"

Peng Yuting was also undecided, so she could only pat Yang Qian on the back to comfort her best friend.

"Yang Qian, don't cry."

"How can I not cry? Yuting, do you know how much I've suffered?"

Yang Qian burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

Liang Wenbo, Liu Xing, and Long Jiajia, however, could not stand it any longer.

They each said, "Yang Qian, you've got it wrong, haven't you? How could Chen Zhou and Xiang Hang be in cahoots?"

"Yeah, right! What do you mean by 'men helping men'? They've been mortal enemies since childhood!"

"I can prove it!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Ying and Peng Yuting were speechless.

Yang Qian was also dumbfounded!

Are they mortal enemies?

No way, is Chen Zhou crazy? You and Xiang Hang are mortal enemies, why are you testifying for him?

Targeting me?!

How could someone as wicked as Chen Zhou exist?

Yang Qian cursed Chen Zhou in her heart.

But she gritted her teeth and insisted, "I don't know what their relationship is, but Xiang Hang did touch my butt! That's a fact!"

"I would never use my innocence to frame him!"

"What Chen Zhou just said is all nonsense!"

"It's because we had a really bad fight before!"

Yang Qian bit him to death.

"As you all probably know, Chen Zhou slapped me across the face before!"

Chen Zhou said calmly, "You deserve it."

Everyone: "…………"

Yang Qian said, "See, he's already admitted it!"

Now, everyone was at a loss.

After all, what Yang Qian said wasn't entirely without merit.

They neither witnessed it firsthand nor had any substantial evidence.

Although several of Chen Zhou's friends believed in him, it was all in vain.

For a time, a stalemate ensued.

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "How about this, I think we should ask Teacher Gao and Teacher Li to handle this matter."

"Should we tell the teacher?" Long Jiajia asked uncertainly.

Liang Wenbo advised, "I don't think this is necessary. We can resolve this privately. If it gets to the teacher, the consequences will be too serious."

Fu Ying added, "Yes, once they're on the scale, they'll weigh way more than four ounces; they'll be worth more than a thousand gold pieces. Xiang Hang and Yang Qian, one of them will definitely get at least a demerit, and might even be expelled!"

Liu Xing agreed wholeheartedly and reminded Chen Zhou, "This matter might affect you as well."

Chen Zhou smiled wryly, "A straight body casts a straight shadow, so I have nothing to fear."

He then asked Xiang Hangdao, "Are you scared?"

Xiang Hang replied earnestly, "I'm not afraid!"

Chen Zhou then asked Yang Qian, "And you?"

Yang Qian was slightly taken aback, her heart pounding with anxiety, but she still mustered her courage and said, "I'm not afraid!"

Chen Zhou smiled and said to Long Jiajia, "Jiajia, go and call Teacher Gao and Teacher Li over."

Long Jiajia made an "uh" sound, "Are you sure?"

Chen Zhou nodded and said, "Confirmed."

Long Jiajia remained hesitant, her face showing worry. "Chen Zhou, what if it's really like what Liu Xing said, and the teacher can't find out the truth? In the end, everyone will be punished equally, and you might get a demerit too!"

"The disciplinary action is in your file, and it will stay with you for life."

"Haha, I'm not afraid of that thing at all. Besides, there's surveillance. How could we not find out the truth?" Chen Zhou laughed.

Upon hearing this, Long Jiajia was taken aback. "Surveillance footage??"

"Yes, isn't that right there? It was filmed right in front of us."

Chen Zhou gestured with his chin towards the girls' dormitory building.

Following the gaze, everyone indeed saw a camera.

Take the picture directly in front of you!

Xiang Hang, as if grasping at a lifeline, raised his hands high and exclaimed excitedly, "Heaven has eyes!"

Yang Qian was struck dumb, her face turning deathly pale!

How could this happen?

impossible!

Isn't that surveillance camera supposed to be filming the dormitory building entrance?

Chen Zhou chuckled and urged, "Jiajia, why don't you hurry and go to the West to invite the Buddha?"

Long Jiajia made an "uh" sound and looked at Yang Qian.

Yang Qian knew that the situation was hopeless and the truth was about to be revealed.

A huge sense of humiliation welled up inside me.

She slowly stood up, without saying a word, but tears were streaming down her face.

Then, Yang Qian pushed aside the classmate blocking her way and ran out crying.

"..."

At this point, everyone understood that Yang Qian had indeed framed Xiang Hang!

Long Jiajia asked, "Chen Zhou, should I go and call the teacher?"

Chen Zhou said, "Why not? Should good people be held at gunpoint?"

Long Jiajia said, "Okay, I'll go right now."

Peng Yuting rushed forward, blocking Long Jiajia's path, and said, "No, no, please don't!"

"Jiajia, we're all in the same dorm, let's just forget about it."

"Chen Zhou, we're classmates, please have mercy on Yang Qian. You know Yang Qian comes from a poor family, a single-parent household, and her mother has worked hard to support her education..."

"Xiang Hang, you're the person involved. I apologize to you on behalf of Yang Qian! I also apologize for what I said before. I'm sorry!"

Peng Yuting bowed deeply to Xiang Hang.

"You're so magnanimous, please let her off this time!"

Peng Yuting pleaded earnestly.

Long Jiajia fell silent.

Chen Zhou didn't say anything either.

Xiang Hang was simple-minded and didn't know how to handle his old classmate's plea.

Xiang Hang spoke up, "Chen Zhou, what do you think?"

Chen Zhou let out a breath and said slowly, "Peng Yuting, you're a good friend. Let's just let this matter go today."

Peng Yuting repeatedly expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, thank you!"

Chen Zhou added, "However, I also want to give you a couple of pieces of advice."

"First, tell Yang Qian to stop causing trouble again and not to do it again!"

"Secondly, as the saying goes, 'one is influenced by one's company,' so keeping your distance from Yang Qian will only benefit you. That's all."

Chen Zhou's voice rang out at the same time as the school bell.

After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets, turned around, and went back to the classroom.

Xiang Hang and Long Jiajia quickly followed.

Xiang Hangdao said, "Chen Zhou, thank you so much for today! If it weren't for you, I would be finished!"

Chen Zhou said, "It's no big deal, I'll invite you another day..."

Long Jiajia interrupted Chen Zhou, saying, "Xiang Hang, you should thank Chen Zhou, but the situation isn't as exaggerated as you say. There's surveillance footage to prove it, isn't there?"

"You're really lucky. The security cameras used to be pointed at the dormitory entrance, but for some reason, they were turned around today and captured the whole thing."

Long Jiajia spoke in a serious and methodical manner, while the burly Xiang Hang kept chuckling foolishly.

"Hehe, right? I also think I'm pretty lucky."

Chen Zhou rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's just a coincidence. It wasn't me who adjusted the angle; the monitor just turned itself around."

Upon hearing this, Long Jiajia suddenly realized what was happening, albeit belatedly.

She exclaimed, "What the heck! You adjusted the angle afterward? So, the security camera didn't capture anything?"

Chen Zhou smiled but remained silent.

Long Jiajia exclaimed, "Wow! Chen Zhou, you're so slippery! You actually tricked Yang Qian!"

"And weren't you incredibly reckless? What if I had run away quickly and it had really reached the teacher? You would have been in real trouble."

"Xiang Hang, especially you, you really should kowtow to Chen Zhou!"

Upon learning the truth, Xiang Hang felt a wave of fear, but also a surge of emotion.

If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had been mortal enemies since childhood...

At this moment, Xiang Hang would really kowtow to Chen Zhou and shout, "Godfather!"

Xiang Hangdao said, "Chen Zhou, from now on, we're brothers!"

"Your business is my business! I'd go through fire and water for you!"

Chen Zhou said, "There's no need for that. I'm a good student and a good citizen. What need is there for me to go through fire and water? Being brothers is enough if it's just in our hearts."

Xiang Hang was deeply moved. "Good! Brotherhood will stay in our hearts!"

Chen Zhou smiled slightly.

Before long, the three of them walked to the second floor of the teaching building and stood at the door of their respective classrooms.

Chen Zhou subconsciously glanced into the classroom next door and, sure enough, saw Xia Yu's beautiful figure.

She was looking down, holding a pen, and working diligently on her problem.

The late autumn wind blew in through the window, gently lifting her hair and the hem of her clothes.

The girl's profile was stunning in Chen Zhou's eyes.

She was so beautiful that even the most beautiful words in the world could not describe even a fraction of her beauty.

Uh……

Is this what they mean by "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"?

But my little fish is more beautiful than Xi Shi!

Chen Zhou looked at Xia Yu like this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, and his eyes were full of gentle smiles.

At this moment, Xiang Hang spoke up: "Hey, Chen Zhou, you're not looking at Xia Yu, are you?"

Xiang Hang looked somewhat surprised.

Chen Zhou readily admitted, "Yes, is there a problem?"

Xiang Hangdao: "Of course there's a problem!"

Chen Zhou said, "What? You like Xia Yu too?"

Xiang Hang said, "She's so fair-skinned, I don't like her at all!"

Chen Zhou: "?"

Sure enough, everyone's XP is different!

Xiang Hang added, "Chen Zhou, listen to me, you can like whoever you want, but whatever you do, don't like Xia Yu! And absolutely do not make any advances towards her!"

Chen Zhou asked, "Why?"

Xiang Hang explained, "Because Teacher Gao is extremely protective of Xia Yu, treating her like a precious jewel. Even if a boy in our class tries to say a word to her, he gets scolded!"

"I heard from others that Teacher Gao is her aunt! A blood relative!"

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "You're quite well-informed."

Xiang Hangdao said, "That's right! But that's not the point. The point is, would you dare to date Teacher Gao's niece? She's a notorious womanizer!"

"Aren't you asking for it?"

"And Xia Yu doesn't interact with any boys; she's an incredibly aloof goddess!"

Chen Zhou smiled, but before he could reply, Xia Yu had already jogged up to him.

"Chen Zhou~"

Xia Yu stood obediently, her fair hands behind her back, and gave Chen Zhou a sweet smile.

Xiang Hang: "???"
