Oh no, the aloof school beauty has been reborn too!

The results of the selection competition came out quickly, and the list was forwarded by the teachers to their respective class groups.

Before class even started, a murmur of conversation arose around the classroom.

Lu Xing opened the document, glanced at the list, and quickly saw his own name.

Not only did they pass, but their scores were also quite high, almost a high score.

He wasn't too surprised.

Although it's called a selection competition, its nature is similar to an exam.

The questions tested basic skills and problem-solving approaches.

Lu Xing casually scrolled down the list, his fingertip pausing for a moment.

Cheng Yue...

This name is also on the approved list.

Lu Xing looked at the name, and his brows slowly furrowed.

He had no interest in that kind of person, nor did he have any burning desire to compete with them.

Lu Xing only found it troublesome.

The school bell rang, and the teacher on the podium opened the slides and began to teach today's lesson.

Lu Xing put his phone away, sat down, and propped his head up with his hand.

He appeared to be listening to the lecture, but his mind was somewhat scattered.

Cheng Yue's words from that day kept echoing in my mind.

handle?

What leverage does he have over Shen Qingyi?

This sounds utterly absurd.

In his opinion, it would be good enough if the girl didn't find any leverage over him...

and many more?

It seems that Shen Qingyi really does have something on him.

But even he himself didn't know what this leverage was.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, it's too scary.

Lu Xing lowered his eyes and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips.

Is someone deliberately spreading rumors?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scratch his head.

Zhang Yang, who was secretly looking at his phone, caught a glimpse of Lu Xing's actions out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but lean closer.

Ever since he learned that Lu Xing was a top student, Zhang Yang has been particularly fond of sticking close to him during class.

If he didn't understand something, he would quietly ask Lu Xing.

Lu Xing didn't put on any airs and always answered questions quite seriously.

Over time, Zhang Yang got used to going to Lu Xing whenever he had a problem.

Seeing that he was clearly distracted, Zhang Yang lowered his voice and asked:

"Brother Lu, what's wrong?"

Lu Xing snapped out of his daze and glanced at him sideways.

Zhang Yang added in a low voice:

"What's bothering you?"

Lu Xing had no intention of discussing these matters in class.

But then she thought again, Zhang Yang usually chats with people in the class, so he might be quite well-informed.

Lu Xing thought for a moment, then asked in a low voice:

Have you heard any gossip or rumors at school lately?

Zhang Yang looked at him with some surprise.

Lu Xing added naturally:

"The lessons are a bit boring, so let me tell you something to lighten the mood."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang looked up at the podium.

The teacher is explaining some basic concepts. The content on the slides is not difficult; you can understand it with a little effort.

Whether you listen or not won't have a big impact.

So Zhang Yang lowered his voice and said:

"There are many."

Lu Xing didn't reply, but just raised his eyebrows and waited for him to speak.

Zhang Yang seemed to have finally found a place to perform, and started by talking about small things in the class.

Who seems to be getting really close to whom lately? Who's still playing games in the dorm after lights out? Who had their takeout stolen?

Lu Xing listened without much change in expression.

Zhang Yang finished speaking, then suddenly remembered something, and his tone became more mysterious.

"Oh right, and there's also the business school thing."

What's going on in Lin Yuanzhou's college?

Lu Xing looked at him.

Zhang Yang stroked his chin and whispered:

"Isn't there a campus belle named Chen in the business school?"

"She has a very sweet appearance and speaks softly."

"Hmm...the kind that uses a high-pitched, coquettish voice."

Lu Xing: "..."

He could understand her sweet appearance, but his tendency to use a high-pitched, coquettish voice was something he simply couldn't accept...

Zhang Yang continued:

"Some people say she's hooked up with a lot of guys in private, and recently some guys even got into a fight over her."

"Wow? That's amazing..."

Lu Xing was genuinely shocked to hear this.

He had never heard of such a thing in his previous life.

However, upon reflection...

Back then, he wasn't particularly interested in gossip, so it was normal that he didn't know a lot of information.

I only found out about the quiet little garden behind the library from Lin Yuanzhou...

It's not strange that there are many school beauties.

From class beauty to department beauty, and if you're really good-looking, you're the school beauty.

Some people like the sweet type, some like the lively type, and some may not like the aloof type like Shen Qingyi.

Of course……

None of this affects Lu Xing's feelings for Shen Qingyi.

Thinking of Shen Qingyi, Lu Xing's lips curled up slightly, revealing a silly grin.

Zhang Yang had just finished speaking when he turned around and saw Lu Xing's expression, and immediately fell silent for two seconds.

"Brother Lu."

Lu Xing came to his senses:

"Um?"

Zhang Yang looked at him, his expression slightly complicated.

"You were laughing a little too much just now..."

He carefully considered his words.

"happiness."

Lu Xing coughed lightly and composed himself.

"Go on."

Zhang Yang didn't tease him much; this was his academic superstar.

He rambled on about a few other things, but as he spoke, his voice gradually lowered.

Lu Xing noticed his hesitation and turned his head to look at him.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment before saying:

"There's another piece of gossip I've heard recently, but I'm not sure if I should tell you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xing roughly understood.

Zhang Yang wanted to tell him.

But it's probably related to him, and I'm afraid he'll be upset if I hear it, so I'm being so hesitant.

Lu Xing waved his hand.

"Speak."

Zhang Yang glanced at him.

"Really?"

"Go ahead and say it."

Zhang Yang touched his chin and lowered his voice even further.

"that is……"

"Recently, there has been discussion in the comment sections of some videos and on the campus forum that Shen, the school beauty from the School of Foreign Languages, was kidnapped just a few days after the start of the semester."

At this point, Zhang Yang secretly glanced at Lu Xing.

Others might not know who Shen Xiaohua's boyfriend is, but how could the students in Computer Science Class 1 not know?

Shen Qingyi has shown up near their class several times!

Lu Xing's face remained expressionless as he listened quietly.

Seeing that he wasn't angry, Zhang Yang continued:

"What they said...was pretty nasty."

"She wasn't the type to fall in love easily, but she got together with someone just a few days later. That's not normal."

Lu Xing's gaze darkened slightly.

Zhang Yang's voice was even softer.

"Some people also said... it's like she's been caught red-handed."

Lu Xing's eyes narrowed slightly.

As expected...

Zhang Yang noticed his reaction and quickly added:

"But these are all just rumors they made up; there are all sorts of different versions of the story."

As he spoke, he frowned again.

"The topics on the forum were quickly deleted by the administrators, and you can't find anything by searching anymore."

"But it seems there are still people discussing it in various comment sections."

Lu Xing did not speak.

He lowered his eyes, and a few thoughts began to form in his mind.

Cheng Yue said those things most likely because he saw these nonsensical claims.

As for how these rumors started...

It's highly likely that either someone is jealous of him, or someone dislikes Shen Qingyi.

Is it possible that both are present?

Lu Xing exhaled and looked up at Zhang Yang.

Thanks.

Zhang Yang waved his hand.

"Pshaw, what's there to thank me for?"

"After all, I only heard it from others."

After saying that, fearing that Lu Xing might overthink it, he couldn't help but add in a low voice:

"Brother Lu, don't worry about it too much."

"There are plenty of people spreading rumors online. They don't even know you or Shen Xiaohua. They're just a bunch of people who make things up without thinking."

How many times has Shen Qingyi appeared in their Computer Science Class 1?

The classmates are already sick of seeing the couple showing off their affection, and now you're saying the girl was forced...

Isn't that ridiculous?

Lu Xing nodded.

"Yes, I know."

He certainly wouldn't lose his composure because of a few rumors.

However, since this matter has already affected reality, it cannot be ignored.

Lu Xing turned his gaze back to the textbook and gently turned a page with his fingertips.

Ask Zhou Lian when you get back.

Zhou Lian should know better than him how to best resolve this kind of situation.

rumor……

I remember that it was punishable by law, right?
