After taking a series of statements, the SWAT team withdrew, and the case turned out to be a false alarm.
"Stop watching the commotion and go back to sleep," the dormitory supervisor said, urging everyone to leave.
"Teacher, Wen Xi is a madwoman. She's either giving herself acupuncture or studying human skeletons every day. Look at this thing in the dormitory, it's terrifying. It's impossible not to go crazy living with her... She has to move out." Li Tingting had just returned from outside when she encountered this drama.
She finally got her chance to redeem herself.
She moved the human skeleton from the poolside over, and the girls watching at the door were terrified.
"Wen Xi, you're going to scare your roommates like this," the dorm supervisor couldn't help but scold.
"Teacher, expel her! She's not only crazy, but also morally corrupt. She's also an old man's mistress!" a girl in the crowd shouted.
"What - mistress?"
"Everyone can check out the internal network for gossip; there are pictures and facts," the nosy girl continued.
The students, eager to see what was happening, quickly logged onto the campus intranet on their phones. The headline read: "Shocking!"
[A medical school beauty willingly becomes a powerful man's kept woman?]
[A Kyoto University student being kept by a sugar daddy.]
...
Several eye-catching and exaggerated headlines jumped into view, and the popularity was gradually rising.
"It really is her! Her face is captured so clearly in the photo."
"Damn, she has more than one sugar daddy."
The photos show two luxury cars of different brands, one parked downstairs at the dormitory building and the other showing her getting out of the car at the back gate of the school.
"Wen Xi, tell me, is this you?" Li Tingting questioned on the spot.
The photos include a video of Uncle Wang picking her up, and half of He Tingchu's head.
"..." Wen Xi lowered his eyes, his pupils darted around, and he briefly pondered how to "explain" his situation.
In front of the indignant Li Tingting, it seemed that anything she said would be pale and powerless.
She bit her lip and remained silent.
But Li Tingting's questioning dealt her a heavy blow.
"Tingting, I don't care what others say, but what about you? Don't you even believe me?" Wen Xi raised his bloodshot eyes.
Li Tingting staggered half a step and froze on the spot.
"On what grounds are you firing me? Is it because you're loud? Or because there are more of you?" Wen Xi glanced coldly at the crowd, the chilling glint in his eyes like a sharp sword, making everyone tremble with fear.
After seeing the police off, He Tingchu returned, and the familiar, cool voice briefly penetrated his eardrums.
"What happened?" He Tingchu walked over quickly.
"Professor He, what do you think we should do about this?" The dormitory supervisor hurriedly handed him her phone.
He Tingchu quickly browsed the webpage, his brow furrowing deeper, and then dialed a number.
"You have five minutes to find out these three IDs on the Kyoto University campus network: Red Bean Bun Who Loves Oranges/Wild Girl/Pink Rose/... Yes, go find them right now."
"You only have five minutes to confess. Who is the 'Red Bun Who Loves Oranges'/'Wild Girl'/'Pink Rose'? You've been spreading rumors. Once the time is up, I'll file a lawsuit." The man's eyes were dark.
"Professor He, you can't be so blind to right and wrong. Wen Xi is of questionable character and is someone's mistress. Don't be fooled by her appearance."
"Teacher, you're not even involved, who are you suing..." Someone in the crowd covered their mouth and sneered.
He Tingchu raised his eyes slightly, his gaze carrying a chilling coldness; just one look from him was enough to send shivers down one's spine.
"What a coincidence, I'm also one of the parties involved. I'm also Wen's lover..." The man's well-defined fingers zoomed in on the man in the picture, glancing at her sideways.
Wen Xi took a deep breath, her pupils contracted, and she frantically signaled with her eyes not to do anything reckless.
"Leave now, I can handle it."
"I won't." The man's eyes held a stubbornness, but also a hint of dejection.
"There's only one minute left. As students of Peking University, you should know that once you have a criminal record, the school will expel you. This is malicious slander and spreading rumors, damaging the reputation of others. My legal team is not to be trifled with." He Tingchu looked away from her and impatiently raised her wrist.
The previously noisy crowd fell silent.
"Teacher, my name is Zhang Jing. I sincerely apologize to Wen. I am Wild Girl." The girl in the black and white checkered skirt timidly raised her hand.
"What are you feeling guilty about? It's Wen Xi who should feel guilty..." The short-haired girl next to her tugged at her, not understanding.
"Alright, time's up." He Tingchu received a message on his phone.
"Hmm, Red bean bun who loves oranges - Yao Qingyan, a sophomore in the Finance Department, Pink Rose - Li Tingting from the Education Department, and finally, Wild Girl - Zhang Jing from the English Department."
"As I said before, Zhang Jing has apologized, so I will let bygones be bygones this time. Please retract the false statements you made online and publicly apologize to me, He Tingchu, and my wife, Wen Xi. As for the other middle-aged man you photographed, he is our family driver."
As soon as the words left her lips, Li Tingting's legs went weak, and she plopped down on the cold floor tiles.
"No, Wen Xi... I'm sorry, I was wrong. Can you forgive me? Give me another chance?"
"Damn, what are you guys afraid of? He said they're a married couple, so they are... Maybe Wen Xi hired them as shills." Yao Qingyan said dangerously.
"...Baby, see? You hid me so well, they don't believe I'm your husband." He Tingchu said nonchalantly.
"Luckily, I always carry my ID with me, otherwise I really would have become your lover...?"
He reached out and gently pulled her into his arms, his long arm encircling her waist. Wen Xi nestled into his embrace as he slowly and deliberately took out the red marriage certificate from his suit jacket lining…
"Classmates, please check carefully for us. It's legal." The man said earnestly.
"Professor He, are you really married?" a female student from the Physics Department asked.
"It's true, why don't you call her 'Teacher's Wife'?"
"Hello, Madam."
After a series of loud cries of "Teacher's wife,"
This farce finally came to an end, and the dormitory supervisor escorted He Tingchu downstairs.
"Professor He, congratulations! Your wife can now rest assured and stay here without worry."
He Tingchu was speechless and choked with emotion.
"No, please help me get rid of her. My wife doesn't come home every day, and I'm all alone in the house... I'd really appreciate it." The man looked aggrieved.
"Oh dear, you should have said so earlier! I'll take care of it." The dormitory supervisor turned around and went upstairs again with light steps.
He Tingchu obediently stayed downstairs to wait for news. Gu Lianyu had just finished reporting to the college leaders and came over.
"Is Wen Xi alright?"
"Resolved."
"That's good, let's go then." Gu Lianyu pulled on the car door.
"Take a taxi yourself, I have something to do."
"?"
-
In the dormitory, the crowd of onlookers dispersed. Li Tingting collapsed to the ground, her face deathly pale. Wen Xi glanced at her bloodshot eyes.
It would be a lie to say I don't feel wronged.
Wen Xi never expected that Li Tingting would slander her online and even try to drive her away.
It feels like my sincerity has been misplaced.
However, on second thought, it was also she who hid it first.
She has to tell countless lies to cover up one lie.
"Qiqi, I'm sorry... I really didn't know Professor He was your lover..." Li Tingting choked up for a moment.
Wen Xi paused for a moment,
"I hid it from you first. He has a special identity, and I am a student at Peking University, so we had a secret marriage."
"I've already apologized to you, Tingting. I just didn't expect you to post that kind of...post online."
"Qiqi, I'm sorry, but I... can't be expelled. Please, for the sake of our acquaintance, give me a chance to repent."
"Qiqi, we've been roommates, Tingting isn't a bad person. We can vouch for her, could we..." Guo Shan pulled her hand and spoke up for Tingting.
...
The aunt knocked on the door again and came in.
"Wen Xi, pack your bags. Given the great trouble your behavior has caused your classmates, you will not be able to stay in the dormitory for the time being," the aunt said sternly.
"Auntie, we're alright..." everyone quickly explained.
"No, look at the trouble you caused tonight. You've attracted the school leaders. You have to be punished, or how am I supposed to explain this to them?"
"I'm sorry, Auntie, I'll move it." Wen Xi felt guilty.
