Chapter 40 Not Having an Affair

"Ji Xiaonuan, we're not having an affair," Chi Jun'an said unhappily.

"W-who said we're having an affair?!" Ji Xiaonuan said angrily, her face turning red.

"Then even if Ling Yifeng is back, he's not here to catch us in the act," Chi Jun'an looked at her with a deep gaze. "What are you afraid of? What are you feeling guilty about?"

"Who said I'm afraid or guilty?" Ji Xiaonuan was so angry that she was on the verge of losing her temper. "I have nothing with Senior!"

"En, I know," Chi Jun'an said with a faint smile.

Huh? Ji Xiaonuan stared at him blankly.

This wasn't right! Even if she had nothing with Ling Yifeng, she had even less with Chi Jun'an! Why did it seem like she was explaining things to Chi Jun'an now!

She was about to speak, but Chi Jun'an calmly explained, "Your parents called you yesterday but couldn't get through. Then they contacted your roommates. Although your roommates explained to them, they didn't quite believe it and might come directly here."

"Is that so?" Ji Xiaonuan was taken aback.

It seemed that because she hadn't turned on her phone, there had been such a misunderstanding.

Then she really had to go back quickly. Her parents cared about her a lot and might really come to the school.

So, had she misunderstood Chi Jun'an?

She looked at him awkwardly. Suddenly, Ji Xiaonuan hesitated for a moment. Hadn't she wanted to say something just now?

"Ji Xiaonuan! Where have you been hiding?!" An angry voice came from outside the door.

Ji Xiaonuan raised her eyebrows in surprise. Before she could open the door, it was pushed open.

Lu Zixian stood outside the door. She was somewhat surprised when she saw Chi Jun'an in Ji Xiaonuan's room.

But when she saw Ji Xiaonuan's packed luggage, she became furious immediately. "Ji Xiaonuan! We really misjudged you. So you're really a thief with sticky fingers! Were you planning to steal our things with your accomplice and then run away with them?"

Ji Xiaonuan couldn't help frowning. "Senior Sister Zixian, are you misunderstanding something? What thief?"

Ling Yifeng and the others also rushed over. When Ling Yifeng saw Chi Jun'an in the room, his face also changed slightly.

"Xiaoxi, who is he? What's your relationship with him?" Ling Yifeng asked unhappily, looking at Chi Jun'an.

Ji Xiaonuan couldn't help hesitating for a moment.

She didn't really want to talk about Chi Jun'an's identity. If she did, there would definitely be a lot of problems. Her relationship with Chi Jun'an... In fact, she was also very confused and didn't know what their relationship was exactly. Moreover, she didn't like Ling Yifeng's interrogative tone.

"I'm Xiaoxi's friend and came to pick her up," Chi Jun'an said indifferently, relieving Ji Xiaonuan's embarrassment.

"You see, I'm right. They were just going to steal things and run away!" Lu Zixian sneered.

Li Qiuling followed behind the others. When she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help feeling delighted.

Now, everyone had misunderstood that Ji Xiaonuan was a thief. Even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she might not be able to clear her name.

"Is there something wrong with your ears?" Chi Jun'an's expression turned colder. "Or do you just not understand human language?"

"You, you...!" Lu Zixian never expected that Chi Jun'an would dare to mock her like this!

"Senior Sister Zixian," Ji Xiaonuan couldn't help frowning. "Why do you keep insisting that I stole your things? What did I steal from you?"

"How dare you still argue?" Lu Zixian snorted coldly. "I'm asking you, where's my camera?!"

"Here it is," Ji Xiaonuan picked up the camera from the table and handed it to her. "I brought it back for you. Before..."

Lu Zixian snatched the camera, opened the camera bag, and checked it carefully.

"Ji Xiaonuan, stop being so hypocritical!" Li Qiuling quickly interrupted her. She added fuel to the fire and said, "You clearly wanted to steal Senior Sister's camera. Now that you've been caught, you still have the nerve to pretend to be a good person?! If you didn't steal the camera, why is it in your hand? You've even packed your luggage. You clearly wanted to run away with the things before we came back! I think we should search her bag. Who knows what else she stole from us?"

The two boys looked at each other. They took a step forward and really intended to search Ji Xiaonuan's luggage.

"Who dares?" Chi Jun'an took a step forward, his face looking terrifyingly cold.

The two hesitated. The aura of a long-term superior that Chi Jun'an exuded made them feel intimidated.

Ji Xiaonuan quickly grabbed him and said in a low voice, "What are you doing? Do you want to fight with them?"

If there really was a fight, this matter would get out of control.

"You see," Chi Jun'an's indifferent gaze swept over everyone in the room. "Your friend's friends may not necessarily consider you a friend."

Ji Xiaonuan also felt somewhat disheartened.

What made her even more disheartened was that Ling Yifeng watched as others slandered her but still remained silent.

"Why is the camera with me, Li Qiuling? You should know better than me," Ji Xiaonuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice. "I have a clear conscience. I didn't steal it. If you don't believe me, you can call the police." "Forget it. This matter might be a misunderstanding," Ling Yifeng, who had been silent all this time, said. "Calling the police will make the matter worse. We're all friends. There's no need to go to such extremes. Zixian, your camera is okay, isn't it?"

Ji Xiaonuan felt even colder inside.

Ling Yifeng didn't agree to call the police not because he believed her but just because he didn't want to make the matter worse?

Lu Zixian had already finished checking the camera. She looked at Ji Xiaonuan with dissatisfaction. "Even if I don't care about the camera, what about Qiuling's matter? Ji Xiaonuan pushed Qiuling down the hillside. She suffered so much grievance. Are we just going to let it go?!"

"You said I pushed Li Qiuling down the hillside?" Ji Xiaonuan sneered.

She finally understood. It turned out that Li Qiuling had bitten back at her. She had kindly helped pick up the camera but had been framed as a thief.

Such a group of people was really ridiculous.

"Of course you pushed me!" A trace of panic flashed in Li Qiuling's eyes. The next moment, she insisted. "Ji Xiaonuan, do you still want to say that I pushed you?"

"You were the one who pushed me..." Ji Xiaonuan said unhappily.

"Ji Xiaonuan, have some shame. How can you frame Qiuling like this?"

"If she pushed you, then why is she the one who got hurt? How can you tell such blatant lies?"...

Listening to their accusations one after another, Ji Xiaonuan clenched her fists in anger.

She finally saw what it meant to distort the truth. She really wanted to solve this matter using her usual methods!

"Xiaoxi, this is your fault. Apologize to Qiuling," Ling Yifeng said with an ugly expression.

"…What did you say?!" Ji Xiaonuan looked at him in disbelief, and her heart sank completely.
