Yun Xi turned her head and glanced at Li Sinuo, who had stepped forward, her pink lips curled up into a faint smile.
She took the bait.
She’d thought she would stay behind the scenes and swoop in at the last minute and cause trouble.
“Class leader, why, I didn’t know that you cared about me so much. Since you know so much about me, perhaps you’ve been stalking me?”
“Why would I stalk you? I just happened to see it is all. It’s you who don’t have any self-respect by associating with these no-good punk guys. You really bring shame on our class. Not to mention the fact that you’re a good student, don’t you feel as if you’re betraying our teacher’s trust in you?”
Yun Xi didn’t want to argue with her in front of their teacher, especially since the situation wasn’t in her favor.
“Teacher Xu, I don’t know them. They chased after me last Friday, and I only climbed over the wall as a last-ditch effort to evade them.”
Li Sinuo realized that Yun Xi was trying to change the subject, so she sneered and exposed her some more. “Even so, you guys were chit-chatting at the noodle shop. You can’t say that I’m lying, right? I saw it with my own eyes.”
“Yun Xi, is this true? Didn’t you say that you don’t know who they are? The school prohibits students from interacting with these kind of punks. The principal repeatedly emphasizes this every year at the beginning of school. You should know the school’s rules.”
Teacher Xu looked at Yun Xi with slight disappointment in his eyes.
Liang Xinyi and Li Sinuo glanced at each other and smiled triumphantly.
Fortunately, they’d brought the homeroom teacher over in time. Otherwise this farce wouldn’t have been as exciting.
“Teacher Xu, I know the rules of the school very clearly. However, the class leader has wronged me. I didn’t mingle with them. As for what happened in the noodle shop, since they are all here, why don’t you ask them?”
Li Sinuo snorted, “They have good relations with you, so of course they’ll speak in your favor!”
Yun Xi shrugged, and her clear eyes appeared calm and composed without the slightest sign of guilt or exasperation.
“If that’s what the class leader thinks, then I have nothing to say.”
Having been warned by Yun Xi to be quiet, Xiang Yuanjiu hadn’t said a word up to now, but he couldn’t bear to watch this anymore.
“Hey, what’s the matter with all of you? How can you all gang up on a girl like this? I think you are all looking for a beating.”
“How scary!” Li Sinuo pretended to be frightened and quickly hid behind their homeroom teacher.
“What are you doing?” The homeroom teacher roared and pointed at Xiang Yuanjiu with a stern expression on his face. “This is the entrance of the school. I am the teacher, so I won’t allow you to be so brazen.”
“Even if you are the teacher, how can you be so blind? Can’t you see that I came here to show my gratitude? What do you mean by calling me a punk, do you have any brains at all?”
Xiang Yuanjiu glanced at Li Sinuo contemptuously and shot daggers at her with a look of warning in his eyes.
“I jumped off the wall and twisted my ankle, and this girl saved me. What’s wrong with me coming all this way to thank her today? Haven’t your teachers taught you to show gratitude to your benefactors? What, I should’ve repaid her with vengeance instead?”
Xiang Yuanjiu sneered and then touched his nose arrogantly. He glanced at Liang Xinyi and Li Sinuo, who he thought had been involved in nasty gossip.
Sure enough, there were differences among women.
These two calculating girls were horrible compared to Yun Xi.
“Sure, I am a punk, but I wouldn’t insult my savior. Whoever dares to slander my savior will have to answer to me.”
With a self-righteous expression, Xiang Yuanjiu stood in front of Yun Xi protectively.
Yun Xi rolled her eyes at the stubborn Xiang Yuanjiu, but just as she was about to speak to shut him up, a figure squeezed through the crowd.
“Please make way, make way, please!” The noodle shop owner squeezed through all the onlookers, and, when she saw Yun Xi, she lit up with a smile of gratitude.
“Little girl, thank you for the ointment. Your medicine is very effective. My son’s arm doesn’t hurt anymore, it was miraculous!”
