Chapter 64: I Did It On Purpose!
At the end of the post, they could see the list of those who "liked" it.
"The school council chairman, Lan Mengcheng! Senior counsellor, Lin Xiang! And this, Tianxia Xiaoyao!"
Zhou pointed at one of the three images and said grimly, "All three of them liked the picture at the same time, causing this post to become the hottest post, in the entire school's history!"
"This..." Chen's froze. How could he ever lay low now? His heart pounded frantically inside him.
Lan and Lin both held positions in the school; that was why their real names had appeared in the forum.
Why did these two women like the post? What would this mean?
Jealousy? Demonstration? Attention-seeking? Or...
Chen was a bundle of nerves!
If the two bona fide goddesses locked horns because of his pretend-girlfriend Xiangyu, Chen could bang his head into the wall and end his own life.
But, since it had already happened, there was no point brooding over it.
He could only wait until he met up with them.
Chen sighed again, and asked, "Oh right, who is that 'Tianxia Xiaoyao'?
"You don't know who 'Tianxia Xiaoyao' is?" Zhou gave Chen a disgusted look. "That is Murong Xiaoyao's username!"
"Murong Xiaoyao!You don't mean, the second most beautiful girl in school, Murong Xiaoyao?" Chen was dumbstruck.
"Nonsense! She is the only person in the entire Green Vine University who has the double-barrelled surname Murong!" said Zhou.
"What the... Why is she interfering?" Chen was very surprised.
This Murong Xiaoyao had a figure and looks that were comparable to Lan's - but because she rarely made an appearance in the school, she had been placed second - a most enigmatic figure.
Chen knew exactly why she is such a mystery!
She was Murong Tian's daughter! The princess of Green Vine City's underground Jianghu!
Chen did not know whether he should be happy that she had given him a 'like', or if he should be having a headache now.
"Third brother! Tell us honestly, now! Why did the three of the of the most beautiful girls in school give you a 'like'?" asked Zhang, flustered.
"I would also like to know..." Chen was exhausted, "Could it be because I am too handsome? But it's not my fault that I'm so good looking..."
"Could it be, that they all have feelings towards you? Are you going to conquer all four of the most beautiful girls in school - including Wenyuan, who had not clicked 'like'?" asked Li, with a look of despair on his face.
*Ring*
Just then, Chen's phone rang.
It was Lin Xiang.
She seemed troubled and she spoke in a loud voice, "Xiaobei! Where are you? Come over quickly, I want to see you!"
"Alright, I'm coming over now." Chen hung up, turned around and headed for the door.
His three roommates froze, thoroughly dumbfounded.
"That... That was Ms. Lin's voice!" Zhou was stunned.
"Did Ms. Lin just call you Xiaobei? Why has she always addressed me with my full name; Li Ming? Why?" Li began to question his life.
"What the F*ck! Chen Xiaobei! A teacher?! You animal..." Zhang was devastated.
...
In the disciplinary office.
The strictest discipline master in history, Yan Li, stood subserviently next to the sofa.
"Mr. Yan, take a seat, why are you standing?" Wong Xiaoren sat on the couch, both legs crossed, looking extremely pompous.
"It's alright. You bosses sit. I'm not tired; in fact, I like to stand!" Yan Li smiled sheepishly, like a slave dog.
"Rubbish!"
Wong Xiaoren glared at him, and snapped, "When Master Feng is here, how can I be considered a boss?"
"Right, yes yes yes. I was wrong. Master Feng, please don't take any offense at my words..." Yan quickly bowed, bobbing his head in apology.
"Don't get so nervous, Mr. Yan. I am very easy to get along with. Ouch!" Wenfeng grinned, but his face hurt so badly, that he had accidentally sucked in a cold breath of air. He had remained bedridden for half a day prior to this.
After Chen and Xiangyu had struck both the left and right side of his face, Wenfeng's face was now swollen like a pig's head - even the slightest touch would cause him unbearable pain.
When Yan saw this, he quickly cajoled, "That Chen Xiaobei is a scoundrel! How dare he beat Master Feng up! Today, I must give him a harsh punishment for this serious offense!"
Wong shook his head and said, "That's not enough. Next week, during the raising of the flag, bring him onto the stage, and in front of the entire school. Humiliate him in public!"
"Yes! In public! Thank you, Master Wong, for the reminder!" Yan Li nodded his head.
"How can you do this!"
Lin Xiang stormed in, her gentle, pretty face filled with rage, "You have no right to arrange such a punishment for Chen when you have not even looked into the matter!"
"Xiang Xiang, you've come! Hurry, come quick and sit!"
When Wong laid his eyes on Lin, his eyes popped out of his head, his chin dribbling with saliva.
Today, Lin wore an elegant bohemian long dress. With her dark hair blanketing her shoulders, along with her graceful figure, she looked as good as ever.
On the surface, Wenfeng and Yan Li seemed relatively calm, but their eyeballs were raking up and down Lin's body.
"I don't want to sit! I'm here to make sure that Chen gets a fair treatment!" said Lin, crinkling her brows.
"Chen? Are you both very close? Why do you address him so intimately?!" Wong said coldly, his eyes narrowing.
This guy had coveted Lin for a long time. Naturally, he was green with envy.
"I... I do not have any feelings towards him! I am just protecting my own student!" Lin said adamantly, balling her hands into cutesy, small fists.
She was a very weak and gentle person. Normally, she would submit meekly to adversity - she would never have the nerve to speak loudly to her colleagues, let alone her superiors.
But today, for Chen, she stood here boldly, unwavering.
"Ms. Lin, I don't like what you just said. If you protect your students, who is going to protect me and Master Feng?"
Wong gritted his teeth, and said angrily, "Look at our faces! This is the work of Chen Xiaobei! This is hard, indisputable evidence! What else is there to say?"
"No! I don't believe that my student will simply beat people up! I'm sure that there is a reason behind this!" Lin insisted.
Hearing this, Wong became even more irritated, he thundered, "Who cares whether you believe it or not? As long as Yan Li is convinced, then it's alright! How the errant student is punished, is entirely up to the discipline master! You are but a new teacher, you have no say in this matter!"
"I..." Lin was very mad, but at the same time, she was powerless.
She did not have a powerful family background, no experience, no qualifications, no one would care about her words.
But, she was still determined to speak her mind, "I don't care! Chen did not do this on purpose! You cannot punish him!"
"You deny it, but I affirm it! Chen Xiao Bei struck me on purpose, he must be punished severely - it must be announced to the entire school - that is a must! Don't forget, my father is the Vice Principal! You are not even qualified to go against me! Such a childish woman!" Wong grinned smugly, looking like a lowlife villain.
"You..." Lin was so furious that the whites of her eyes turned red.
"Ms. Lin, don't get angry over this fool! I did hit him on purpose - not only then, but now as well!"
At that moment, Chen strode into the disciplinary office, raised his hand and swung it at Wong's face without a word.
