Chapter 280: The Strange Boy

“These high school students have too much free time on their hands. Maybe that’s why they decided to join forces with some scammers. I’ll submit this report to the local education bureau. Maybe then, they’d be taught to take the truth seriously!”

“Let’s also report this to teachers. They’re obviously not taking their school work seriously.”

“If I were their parents, I’d be so angry.”

All of their comments were filled with mockery.

Every single one commented on their objections, and Zhang Dong grew even more nervous by the second. Now that the matter had gone viral, he didn’t know what else to do.

Just his luck, someone from City A recognized the school uniform and commented below,

“Isn’t that uniform from No. 1 High School?”

“City A’s No. 1 High School? What kind of irresponsible school is that?”

“You’re saying that the top high school in the province is actually an irresponsible school? Are you crazy?”

With these two sentences, everyone already knew where this high school was located. Not only that, but they even dare ridicule it with the other alumni.

“Shouldn’t the students from No. 1 High School be studying? I’ve heard that they’re always participating in all these competitions.”

“High schools should encourage their students to play sports and not just focus on the academe. It’s natural to learn other things to grow further into their respective fields.”

“I see, but I feel that this may not be No. 1 High School. My daughter is studying there currently, and while the students are required to wear their uniforms, they shouldn’t be wearing them while playing a sport. Perhaps they are just posing for a photo.”

As soon as Zhang Dong saw the additional comments, he felt like he wanted to cry. No matter what he would say, no one would believe him.

What should he do?

..

After Yao Tang had packed her things, she stood right by the door and waited for her other friends, Qin Jingand Lin Xin.

Lin Xin tried calling Lu Mingand the others, but they just wouldn’t pick up.

The others tried messaging them, but they still wouldn’t reply. It’s as if they didn’t exist!

Lin Xin wanted to follow Yao Tang, Qin Jing, and the others to his house. After all, she was worried that something must’ve happened.

Yao Tang stood by the doorway when she felt a shadow appear right behind her. She pursed her lips. From the corner of her eye, she saw a boy standing at the corner of the corridor, sneaking glances at her.

Whenever she looked over, the boy finally turned to the other direction.

In the end, giving in to her strict gaze, he finally walked over.

He looked quite refined in his school uniform.

However, there was something about his shy gaze that made him look guilty. Whenever she tried to catch his eye, he’d simply turn away.

What was going on with him?

Not taking it to heart, Yao Tang simply adjusted her earphones and gazed at the scenery ahead of her. The setting sun showed the colors yellow, orange, and red, illuminating her soft features.

As soon as Lin Xin finally packed her bags, she stepped out of the room.

“We’re ready, Sister Tang. Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

With a nod, the three of them walked out.

The three of them walked toward the stairway. Lin Xin didn’t really notice the boy at all. In fact, it was only when they were about to step down did she hear someone speak from behind them.

“Student Yao Tang…hello…”

Yao Tang turned, raising her eyebrows at the stuttering boy and gesturing him to speak.

“I…I came over…”

That boy was none other than Zhang Dong. He had been walking aimlessly around the classroom for the entire class. Finally, when the class ended, he mustered up the courage to apologize to Yao Tang.

He wanted to explain the situation and apologize for what he’d done. After all, it was his fault that Yao Tang was being criticized online.
