Chapter 126: Zhao Gaoyang, Rejected Once More

Zhao Gaoyang could occasionally act tough when facing others, but when scolded by Fan Xi, he didn't dare let out a single peep.

The cause of the matter was also quite easy to guess.

Recently, a tall male student from the class next door, named Ye Lang, suddenly expressed interest in Fan Xi and would block her at the dormitory to find her every few days.

Actually, this was nothing; everyone has an appreciation for beauty, and it is very normal for someone as pretty as Fan Xi to have suitors.

But two days ago, Zhao Gaoyang saw Ye Lang walking with a girl outside of school, chatting and talking very intimately, and in the end, he witnessed with his own eyes Ye Lang dropping the girl off at the nursing school next door.

That girl was clearly a girlfriend Ye Lang had found outside of school!

After learning this news, Zhao Gaoyang became even more dissatisfied with Ye Lang.

Originally, it would be fine for you to pursue Fan Xi, but if you already have a girlfriend and still come to deceive people, wouldn't that make you Cheng Huaiyu?

Consequently, Zhao Gaoyang confronted Ye Lang face-to-face today and expressed his hope that he would stop pestering Fan Xi.

Ye Lang laughed upon hearing this, pushed Zhao Gaoyang's shoulder, and said, "Classmate, what right do you have to manage me? How I pursue Fan Xi is my own business, isn't it? Or is it that you have some sort of relationship with Fan Xi?"

Zhao Gaoyang was suddenly unable to answer him.

Strictly speaking, he really didn't have any relationship with Fan Xi; the other party's words had hit the nail on the head.

But Zhao Gaoyang was not the type to be dismissed by a single sentence from the other party.

He held his breath for a long time, then made up his mind to speak the secret he knew.

"I know you have a girlfriend outside of school. If you don't give up, I will expose this news on the campus forum and let everyone know you are a scumbag."

Ye Lang froze for a moment, then his face twisted together, looking as ferocious as an angry wild dog.

"You were stalking me?"

"I just happened to see it by accident." After getting a handle on the other party's weakness, Zhao Gaoyang felt much steadier in his heart.

"That is my younger sister."

"I'll post it on the forum and we'll know if it's your sister or not."

"You dare try?" Ye Lang grabbed Zhao Gaoyang by the collar, his eyes glaring at him.

Although Zhao Gaoyang was thin and small, his courage was not small, and he stared back at him without any fear.

Immediately after, the two erupted into a bit of verbal conflict, which then escalated into a campus brawl.

It could be said that in this matter, Zhao Gaoyang was not at fault.

But this matter itself really had nothing to do with him; he had no need to intervene and let the situation develop to the point of a campus brawl.

The root cause was still that Zhao Gaoyang had cast himself into the role of Fan Xi's protector.

Yet Fan Xi was now telling him that she had long since known about Ye Lang having a girlfriend; it was her roommate who told her.

As for Ye Lang pursuing her, she had also clearly expressed her refusal; she did not like such a frivolous boy full of lies.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Hearing Fan Xi say this, Zhao Gaoyang lowered his head in shame.

"You don't need to apologize to me; you should apologize to the counselor. In order to help you calm the impact of this incident, he specifically went to the Student Union, and he also spoke to the school leaders; you will be punished lightly, but a public reprimand is definitely unavoidable," Fan Xi said indifferently, and after finishing, she prepared to leave.

"Class... Class Monitor." Zhao Gaoyang suddenly called out to stop her again.

"What else is there?" Fan Xi frowned and turned back.

"That, Xu Heng has a new girlfriend."

When Zhao Gaoyang said this, he saw that Fan Xi's expression had changed noticeably.

"Alright, thank you for the reminder. If there is nothing else, I will be going first."

"No, Class Monitor, I wanted to say, Old Xu has found a girlfriend again, so can you... give me another chance."

Zhao Gaoyang felt in his heart that since Fan Xi liked Xu Heng, perhaps the fact that Xu Heng found a girlfriend would make Fan Xi give up on him, just like with Ye Lang, and this also meant that the opportunity belonging to him had returned.

However, Fan Xi still shook her head and said straightforwardly, "Sorry, I don't have those kinds of feelings for you. It is impossible between us."

After speaking, she turned and left in a hurry, her pace a few steps faster than before.

Leaving Zhao Gaoyang standing alone in the cold wind, his mouth twitched and moved twice, but in the end, no sound came out.

By the time he returned to the dormitory, it was already past ten o'clock at night.

Cheng Huaiyu asked him with a smile what he had chatted about with the Class Monitor to take so long.

He did not respond.

"Looks like he got scolded pretty badly," Cheng Huaiyu whispered in the ears of Xu Heng and Sheng Bo. "I've never seen that woman Fan Xi get so angry. If you ask me, Old Zhao shouldn't have intervened in this matter at all; let that woman suffer a bit from a scumbag and gain some life experience."

"Zhao Gaoyang also had good intentions." Xu Heng still helped speak a few good words for Zhao Gaoyang.

Sheng Bo also nodded, believing that Zhao Gaoyang's starting point was based on good intentions.

Unfortunately, their opinions could not change the outcome of this matter.

The next day, Saturday, the full names of Zhao Gaoyang and Ye Lang were posted on the school-wide broadcast.

The gossiping students were quite curious about how the two had gotten into it, and someone posted on the forum claiming to have seen the whole process, telling the story with added embellishments.

It was roughly that the suitor of girl A, boy B, had a girlfriend outside of school, which was discovered by suitor C, and suitor C fought with suitor B over this.

The whole process was described as earth-shattering and heaven-defying, almost to the point of grinding down the very Dao, and it would be no problem to take it out and film an idol drama.

The heat of everyone watching this matter remained high for several consecutive days.

After all, unlike later generations where everyone has smartphones for entertainment, when encountering a school-wide announcement, almost no one would pay attention; everyone would just play their own games and forget about it the next day.

Zhao Gaoyang also became a minor celebrity because of this, and many students called him "Brother True Man," acting for love, worthy of respect.

Xu Heng was quite surprised when he learned of this, because in the whole process, Zhao Gaoyang was clearly the one being unilaterally beaten, yet he could actually be rumored by netizens into a bright and magnificent image?

Amazing.

He shook his head, once again feeling speechless about the online public opinion of this era.

Of course, he didn't pay much attention to the follow-up of this matter; he had other things to do today.

Yesterday he had agreed with Jiang Mengyuan to look at houses, so early this morning he got up and went downstairs to Jiang Mengyuan's dormitory to call her and wake her up.

On the phone, the little girl had just woken up; her voice was soft and sweet, both obedient and cute.

"Let me sleep a little longer, okay?"

"The sun is already hitting your backside, and besides, I'm downstairs; you can't just leave me waiting here, can you?"

"Mmm, it's so hard to come by a day without an eight a. m. class... how about you go to the cafeteria for breakfast first and come back to call me later?"

Humans are a very strange species; clearly already awake, yet as long as they are lying in bed, they are unwilling to get up, even for one more minute.

Xu Heng sighed and said, "Fine, I'll go to the cafeteria and bring you something to eat on my way back."

"I want to eat chive pockets."

"Girls aren't allowed to eat chives."
