Chapter 115: Wanwan Gets Criticized

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The news of Duan Linbai being beaten up had only spread in their small social circle. Even Song Fengwan didn’t know about it.

He was sent to the hospital in the middle of the night, and he underwent a full-body checkup the next day. That same night, he packed his things and ran to Fu Chen’s house to stay temporarily.

When Song Fengwan saw him, he was wearing a neck brace and had one leg wrapped in bandages resting on a chair as he played Fighting the Landlord with a few people.

Fu Chen sat quietly at the side reading documents.

It was already past the eleventh lunar month, and Lunar New Year was less than two months away. It was also the end of the year, and everyone was very busy. Recently, when she saw Fu Chen, he was mostly dealing with company affairs.

“Big Brother Duan, what happened to you?” Song Fengwan looked surprised. It had only been a day since they last met, but now his neck was injured and his leg was crippled?

“Isn’t it slippery in the winter? There was ice on the sidewalk, so I accidentally fell.” Duan Linbai smiled at her. “You have to be careful when walking on the sidewalk. Don’t walk where there’s ice.”

Fu Chen turned his head and glanced at Duan Linbai.

He’s spouting nonsense with a straight face.

He was clearly beaten up by an unknown woman.

On that day, the surveillance cameras on the road only captured him taking the initiative to hit on a woman. This person was wearing a white down jacket and had long hair that draped over her shoulders. Because it was cold and she was wearing a mask, her facial features weren’t visible at all. Then he followed her into an alley…

Afterward, the woman walked out of the alley alone, and then around ten minutes later, some people carried Duan Linbai out.

This sort of matter was way too embarrassing for Duan Linbai, so he didn’t dare to tell anyone, much less do a large-scale search for her.

He was considered an internet celebrity after all. There were millions of girls online who wanted to sleep with him. If people found out that he was beaten up by a woman when he tried to hit on her, he would be extremely embarrassed.

Song Fengwan didn’t think too much about it. She believed what Duan Linbai said and even reminded him to rest and recuperate well.

At this moment, Duan Linbai thought, This little sister is indeed really pure.

But a few minutes later, Song Fengwan came down from upstairs and handed him a paper bag.

“Little Sister, is this for me?” Duan Linbai was unable to contain his joy and even winked at Fu Chen.

“Yeah, you hurt your leg. This may be useful to you.”

Duan Linbai happily took out the item from the bag.

It was a pair of knee pads.

“You need to keep it warm.”

Duan Linbai’s face instantly turned pale. What does this couple want? One gives me a wheelchair and crutches, treating me like a cripple. And the other gives me knee guards. Do they think I have old rheumatic legs?!

Which young person would use this thing?! Even my dad doesn’t need it!

Fu Chen lowered his head and continued flipping through his documents as his lips slowly curled up.

Song Fengwan hadn’t been going to school much recently, but she still had to take the exams, so she couldn’t ask for leave.

After the monthly exams in Beijing Second High School ended, the students took half a day off as usual. The next day, the results were released, and the teachers started explaining the exam papers.

Song Fengwan didn’t usually go to school these days. But since she took the exams, though her marks were secondary, she still had to know where her answers were wrong. Thus, she went to school today.

The second class in the morning was with the homeroom teacher, and she conducted a simple summary of the monthly exam results during class. Song Fengwan’s results were not as good as last time, and her ranking in the grade was below one hundred. But to her, it was alright.

“Song Fengwan, you did well this time.” Ge Lu held the report card and looked at her with a serious expression, as if she was deliberately suppressing something.

Throughout the class, Ge Lu was almost always staring at her.

After the second class ended, there was a long break before the next one. The moment the bell rang, the classroom became extremely noisy. But Ge Lu beckoned to Song Fengwan. “Song Fengwan, come out with me for a bit.”

Students would always be slightly in awe when facing teachers. Being suddenly called outside made Song Fengwan’s heart skip a beat and half her body turn cold. She obediently followed Ge Lu into the staff room.

The staff room was very big, and since it was a long break between classes, there were more than ten teachers sitting inside the staff room. The atmosphere was abnormally solemn.

“Do you know Xu Jingcheng from Class 1?” Ge Lu’s expression was somber.

“Yes,” Song Fengwan answered truthfully.

“Are you two in a relationship?”

Song Fengwan was stunned for a long time. “No.”

“But his mother contacted the school and said that you’re in a relationship with him, which has affected his studies. His previous marks were still in the top twenty of the grade, yet this time he slid to almost a hundred.”

Ge Lu sighed. “The senior year of high school is very important to everyone. I hope that you can spend your time on studying. With your current results, it won’t be difficult to get into the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

“For Xu Jingcheng, the college entrance exam can really determine his entire life.”

Song Fengwan wanted to explain to her that she really had no relationship with Xu Jingcheng. But when she heard Ge Lu’s next words, her entire body turned cold.

“You’re different from him. Even if you don’t pass the college entrance exam, you still have a better way out. You two are not the same kind of people. He doesn’t have time to play with you.”

Song Fengwan’s fingers tightened slightly, and her heart felt as if someone had clutched it and was pulling it up. It was so painful that it felt uncomfortable even to breathe.

“If you two are really not in a relationship, that’ll be best. Don’t affect him, or I might have to ask your guardian to come.”

Asking a guardian to come? This was indeed considered the most powerful way to threaten students.

“Then can I go now?” Song Fengwan’s tone was gratuitously tough. She knew that talking back to the teacher to explain it would only make things worse.

Ge Lu was stunned for a moment and then motioned with her hand for her to leave.

In school, the news of puppy love always spread very quickly. When Song Fengwan returned to the classroom, almost all her classmates knew about it.

“She’s quite impressive. She even managed to snag Xu Jingcheng. He’s one of the top students in Class 1.”

“Even Brother Tian fell for her, let alone Xu Jingcheng.”

There was always a little jealousy between girls, and their tones were sharp and mean.

After Song Fengwan sat down, she lowered her head to correct her exam papers. Her eyes were slightly red. She felt wronged yet couldn’t say anything…

Being Second High School, teachers’ staff room…

Ge Lu was busy preparing for class when she was suddenly called out by the dean.

“Dean, what’s the matter?” Being summoned by her supervisor, she felt nervous and uneasy.

“The principal wants you to go to his office.”

“Dean, what exactly is going on?” Ge Lu was instantly on tenterhooks.

“The guardian of Song Fengwan from your class is here and wants to talk to you.” The dean didn’t reveal much.

Ge Lu’s heart skipped a beat. I didn’t take the initiative to contact her guardian, but they came themselves?

It was the first time in her many years of teaching that she encountered something like this.
