Chapter 65: Lei Xiao's Intentionally Fabricated Rumors

  Unconsciously, she had already arrived at the classroom. As soon as she entered... Today, she came a bit too early, and there were only three people in the classroom: herself, Gu Siyan, and Lei Xiao. Lei Xiao was standing in front of the blackboard, holding a piece of chalk and writing something. Qiao Anyu and Gu Siyan both had their own thoughts and didn't notice her arrival.

  As soon as he sat down in his chair and was about to take out his book, he saw four big words written on the blackboard: "I love Xu Xiao!" Lei Xiao turned his head and gave Qiao Anyu a provocative look.

  Qiao Anyu secretly clenched her fist in excitement for the bold confession on the blackboard, worried that if the teacher on duty saw it, a storm would erupt. She smiled faintly and buried her head in her own affairs.

  Gu Siqi lay listlessly on the table, thinking about her own problems, and recalling what Qiao Anyu had just said.

  They didn't know that on the small blackboard covered by Lei Xiao's body was written Qiao Anyu's name.

  The topic was being done quickly, and Gu Siqi hastily poked Qiao Anyu's arm, gesturing for her to look at the blackboard. She raised her head and saw that it was still those four big words: "I love Xu Xiao!" Only in the lower right corner was her own name signed. She swept a glance across the whole class, like a landmine, and those caught gazes quickly retreated, their owners pretending to hold up books, with an air of not hearing anything outside, actually using the book as cover, several people huddled together whispering.

  This handwriting is obviously not hers. Her own calligraphy has been exhibited in school many times, and everyone should know that these characters are not written by her. And who would sign their name to something like this? It's simply an insult to one's intelligence! However, when it comes to gossip, classmates generally have the attitude of "it's better to believe it's true than to believe it's false". Adding to that, Qiao Anyu sat behind Xu Xiao for two years in junior high school, and there had been rumors circulating about this before. Most people believed that this was indeed the case, but just didn't say it out loud. This incident has only added to the credibility of this gossip.

  Most people were watching with a detached attitude, gazing at the words on the blackboard without anyone going up to erase them. Qiao Anyu Lian glanced at Lei Xiao, who was looking at herself as if nothing was wrong. Should she, as the person involved, go and erase the words on the blackboard? Just as Qiao Anyu Lian was hesitating, Shu Zimo, who had just arrived at school, stepped into the classroom, saw the words on the blackboard, and without saying a word, immediately erased them.

  Qiao Anyu was puzzled as to why Shu Zimo was so enthusiastic about erasing the blackboard tonight. Gu Siqi told her that the top right corner of the blackboard indicated that it was his turn on duty today, and she suddenly felt relieved. Erasing the blackboard is the responsibility of the student on duty, and everyone naturally wouldn't mind, which is good, one less person involved in the rumors. However, Shu Zimo usually doesn't take the initiative to erase the blackboard, but this time... Was he helping her? Impossible! Shu Zimo would love to see her embarrassed more than anyone else, how could he be helping her out? Maybe he was just in a good mood tonight.

  Everyone can say whatever they want, anyway, it's not her first time being rumored.

  Whoever is talked about behind their back, whoever is not talked about behind their back. She only cares about Su Yuze's thoughts.

  As expected, the rumor spread like wildfire throughout the entire grade. The already widely circulated phrase "Qiao Anyu likes Xu Xiao" had become an iron-clad fact in everyone's mouths, and they all laughed at her for "not having the reserve and restraint that a girl should have".

  She didn't bother to pursue the frame-up by Lei Xiao, the more she fought with her, the more complicated things would become. Besides, what could be done about a girl like that? Reasoning with her based on facts? That's no different from a scholar encountering a soldier - it's impossible to reason clearly; fighting with her? This would only make others laugh and say she was "crazy for love". Even a civilized person like Qiao Anyu couldn't think of any sinister tricks to harm the other party. Although she seemed very strong, she didn't like to provoke trouble and would avoid it as much as possible if she could. "If someone offends me, I will offend them back" only applied to Shu Zimo, for others, she believed in the life principle of "one less thing is better than one more thing", and was very tolerant and magnanimous towards her classmates, rarely holding grudges.

  When the male lead, Xu Xiao, heard the rumors collected by his deskmate from all sides, he smiled slightly. When the male and female leads met, they didn't feel awkward at all, and greeted each other naturally, saying whatever they wanted to say, making the eyes that fell on them a big joke.

  Rumors also gradually dissipated.
