Chapter 20: Rumors

After Ding Wei was the first to sign up, several other boys also signed up, wanting to collaborate with Su Yingxue.

However, the homeroom teacher ultimately decided on Ding Wei. There was nothing they could do; he was the class monitor, and surely held a certain standing in the teacher's eyes.

"Yingxue, Ding Wei, you have a few days left, so practice more. We don't expect you to win any awards, but don't embarrass us."

After the homeroom teacher finished speaking, he left the classroom.

As soon as the homeroom teacher left, someone appeared at the classroom door.

"Is Lin Dong here?"

As the voice rang out, everyone in the class looked towards the door.

"Damn, isn't that Han Shiyun, one of the three great goddesses?"

"Who did Han Shiyun just say she was looking for?"

"Looking for Lin Dong?"

"No way!"

"Han Shiyun, who are you looking for?" a classmate asked.

"I'm looking for Lin Dong!" Han Shiyun replied.

"Holy crap, she's really looking for Lin Dong?"

Everyone looked at Lin Dong with incredulous expressions.

Lin Dong was stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes.

There was nothing he could do but get up and walk out.

When he reached the door, he said to Han Shiyun, "Let's go!"

Then he walked ahead.

Han Shiyun obediently followed behind Lin Dong.

As soon as Lin Dong and Han Shiyun left, the classroom erupted.

"Holy crap, it's only been three days, and Lin Dong has already snagged Han Shiyun, one of the school's three great goddesses?"

"Didn't you see? Goddess Han just obediently followed behind Lin Dong, looking like she was completely devoted to him."

"Come on... pinch me and tell me this isn't real."

"Gently! Gently! Ow, that hurts! It's over, it's over, this isn't a dream!"

"Wait a minute! What was Lin Dong's ex-girlfriend's name again?" a classmate asked.

"I think it was Jiang Shan!"

"Jiang Shan was stolen by Huang Junlang, right?"

"And Huang Junlang is one of Han Shiyun's two great protectors."

"This Lin Dong is awesome! He played this hand beautifully!"

"You steal my woman, I'll bag your goddess!"

"This counterattack... it's so fierce, now it's Huang Junlang's turn to spit blood!"

Meanwhile, the three members of the "Four Scoundrels" exchanged glances and simultaneously said, "Third Bro is awesome!"

Su Yingxue also showed a curious gaze at this moment.

As one of the school's three great goddesses, Han Shiyun had always moved among several rich second-generation heirs, never being alone with anyone, precisely to avoid misunderstandings.

But now she came to find Lin Dong alone?

Does that mean the person she ultimately chose was Lin Dong?

What about Lin Dong made Han Shiyun so enamored?

Su Yingxue couldn't figure it out.

This Lin Dong doesn't seem as simple as he appears on the surface; he's a bit mysterious!

At this moment, Su Yingxue developed a strong curiosity about Lin Dong, unaware that curiosity was precisely the beginning of falling into infatuation.

Lin Dong led Han Shiyun to the school's back playground.

Since it was lunchtime, there were very few people on the playground, only a few couples strolling around.

"Speak! Han Shiyun, what do you want with me?" Lin Dong asked.

"Can't I look for you if there's nothing wrong, Lin Dong?" Han Shiyun retorted.

"Then you could have messaged or called me! Why come directly to the classroom to find me?"

"Lin Dong, I'm helping you right now! Don't mistake good intentions for ill will."

"Oh? Helping me? Helping me with what?" Lin Dong asked.

Han Shiyun thought for a moment and said:

"Lin Dong, think about it! Because of the scandal two days ago, as soon as you appear now, people will immediately say, 'Look, that's Lin Dong, his girlfriend was stolen two days ago, and he even got so angry he vomited blood and fainted.'"

"But now that I've come to find you, when you appear, people won't be discussing you vomiting blood and fainting from anger, but rather whether we're really together."

"Which of these two kinds of discussions about you do you think is better?"

Lin Dong thought about it, and it was true.

"Then I should thank you, Han Shiyun!"

"No need to thank me! I haven't even thanked you for showering me with so many gifts, saving me from having to date Huang Junlang, and treating me to free big meals every day!"

"But Han Shiyun, aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation this way?"

"It's fine! Who told me I owe you!" Han Shiyun said indifferently.

Lin Dong and Han Shiyun continued walking on the playground, chatting about insignificant topics.

However, the incident of Han Shiyun coming to Lin Dong's class and being obediently led away by him was escalating.

The school was only so big, and it involved one of the three great goddesses.

The speed of its spread was unusually fast.

Of course, the other three scoundrels contributed significantly to this; with communication being so convenient now, everyone knew as soon as it was posted in a WeChat group.

The fastest and most widely circulated version was that three days ago, Huang Junlang had stolen Lin Dong's girlfriend Jiang Shan, causing Lin Dong to vomit blood and faint from anger.

Three days later, Lin Dong had successfully bagged Han Shiyun, the goddess Huang Junlang had been pursuing for months.

Huang Junlang's face was slapped repeatedly.

Originally, many people didn't believe it.

Han Shiyun was pursued by so many rich and handsome guys, yet she was never seen with anyone; how could Lin Dong, this commoner, bag Han Shiyun?

But when they saw Lin Dong and Han Shiyun walk out of the school from the playground together, everyone had to accept the reality.

Lin Dong had originally thought of just strolling around the playground with Han Shiyun and then parting ways.

But he suddenly remembered it was lunchtime, so he naturally invited Han Shiyun to eat with him.

Han Shiyun certainly wouldn't refuse, and the two walked out of the school gate together.

This scene was witnessed by many people, including Huang Junlang and Jiang Shan.

Huang Junlang watched Lin Dong and Han Shiyun walk out of the school gate together and almost erupted in a furious charge, but he ultimately suppressed it.

He knew rushing over would only make him look more pathetic.

To think that Han Shiyun, the goddess he had spent six or seven million on but couldn't win over, was now so easily bagged by Lin Dong, this commoner.

Huang Junlang's mood at this moment was imaginable, perhaps even comparable to Lin Dong's mood when he was broken up with three days ago.

Huang Junlang flung his hand and returned directly to his dorm, losing even his appetite for food, leaving only Jiang Shan standing alone, looking somewhat forlorn.

Jiang Shan felt very sad seeing Lin Dong and Han Shiyun leave school together, chatting and laughing.

Originally, the spot beside Lin Dong had always been hers, but she had pushed Lin Dong towards someone else. Some things, you truly only appreciate after losing them.

With Huang Junlang, she always had to be cautious, fearing she might upset him, while with Lin Dong, it was always Lin Dong who was careful around her.

Her status instantly dropped from a princess to a maid, making her realize Lin Dong's four years of dedication to her.

Yan Yan was right; perhaps she would never find another person who loved her as much as Lin Dong in this lifetime.

But... everything was irreversible now.

She had personally buried her own happiness.

Jiang Shan turned and left, tears in her eyes.
