Chapter 39: She Lied
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The greenery was very tall, and it formed a relatively hidden space between the dormitory and the building. I had to go around the greenery to what was behind it.
I was suspicious and could not help but go around to the other side of the greenery. In an instant, the scene before my eyes made me furious!
Guo Zhicheng was pressing Liang Xue against the wall and kissing her!
I could not watch it any longer. I took a few steps forward, grabbed his clothes, and yanked him back.
Guo Zhicheng was caught off guard. He cried out in surprise as he fell to the ground!
I kicked him a few times and cursed, “F*ck you!”
Only then did Liang Xue realize it was me. She cried out in shock, “Zhang Lu, don’t be rash!”
She rushed over and hugged me.
Guo Zhicheng took the opportunity to get up in a fluster. He ran to the other side in panic and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
I angrily said, “Why are you protecting him!”
Liang Xue said in panic, “I’m afraid that you’ll hurt him and cause trouble!”
I immediately calmed down. It turned out that she was worried about me and not protecting that damned fatty.
I let out a long sigh and frowned. “Why didn’t you call for help?”
There were quite a number of people passing by. If she called for help, there should be someone who would come over to help.
Liang Xue said with a red face, “I was afraid of being seen. I’m sorry…”
I could understand her thoughts. Many girls felt embarrassed when they were taken advantage of. They did not dare to call for help. They did not even dare to report the matter to the police after being violated.
I turned around and hugged her. “It’s alright. If he dares to bully you in the future, I won’t let him off!”
Liang Xue leaned into my embrace and grunted.
That night, I brought her to the place I rented.
However, I did as I promised. I did not do anything to her. I just hugged her and obediently slept.
My heart ached for her. My heart ached for the psychological damage caused by Guo Zhicheng bullying her.
If I acted recklessly, I would be just like Guo Zhicheng!
The next morning, Liang Xue even took the initiative to kiss me after she woke up. She said shyly, “I didn’t expect you to be so trustworthy.”
I thought to myself, ‘Of course. I’ve been enduring for two years. I’ve long mastered the art of endurance!’
I went to class in the morning, but Guo Zhicheng did not come.
This guy also rented a house outside. Of course, his family had money, so the house he rented was definitely much better than mine. Naturally, the purpose of renting a house was not to study like me.
I wanted to ‘talk’ to him. Anyway, now that everyone knew that I had Chen Hanwei’s protection, he would not dare to disobey me. Unfortunately, I did not have his contact information, and I did not know where he lived, so I had to give up.
Liang Xue was not as tense as before. She was still sitting with me, but she was clearly much more relaxed than yesterday.
At night, I wanted to ask Liang Xue to stay at my place again, but after thinking about it, I decided not to.
It might be better to take it slow.
After all, I wanted to be with her for a long time. If I was too anxious, I would definitely make her dislike me.
Thus, after dinner, I sent her back to the dormitory.
I was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, I wandered around the school, thinking about how I could earn that 40,000 yuan.
There were only a few days left. If I continued to delay, I would definitely miss the deadline!
Could it be that I had to borrow money from Lin Xiaoya again?
However, if she really had that much, she would not have only lent me 20,000 yuan the last time. This meant that she did not have much savings herself, so I could not trouble her anymore.
I strolled around the school until around 9 pm. My mind was still blank. I had no choice but to return to my residence.
On the way back, I happened to pass by the female dormitory building where Liang Xue was. When I walked to the back of the building, I suddenly heard a strange sound at the place where Guo Zhicheng had taken advantage of Liang Xue Yesterday.
That sound was very similar to what I had heard here yesterday. I could not help but be surprised.
Was this a popular spot? There were people taking advantage of others here every day?
However, as long as it was not Liang Xue, it was fine. I hastened my pace and did not want to delay any longer.
Who knew that I had only taken two steps when I heard a faint voice coming from inside. “I said, you’re mine. So what if he has Teacher Chen’s backing? I’m not afraid of him!”
My body jolted and I stopped.
This voice was a little faint. After all, there was a large patch of greenery between us.
However, I could tell that it was Guo Zhicheng’s voice!
Could it be…
However, I heard a female voice. “Don’t… Don’t do anything rash. If Zhang Lu were to find out, he won’t… Let you off…”
In that instant, I was filled with fury.
It was Liang Xue’s voice!
That damned fatty Guo Zhicheng was taking advantage of her again!
I did not know what Liang Xue was thinking. After what happened yesterday, why did she still come here alone at such a late hour? Guo Zhicheng found an opportunity again!
Just as I was about to rush in and give Guo Zhicheng a good beating, I heard him say wickedly, “As long as we don’t say anything, how would he know? Hehe, haven’t you been lying to him too?”
I felt a chill run down my spine and stopped in my tracks.
What did he mean by that?
Could it be that Liang Xue had lied to me?
Could it be that… she actually had a deep and intimate relationship with Guo Zhicheng all this time, but she lied to me and said otherwise?
Liang Xue said coquettishly, “I didn’t lie. Don’t spout nonsense!”
Guo Zhicheng shouted in a low voice, “You dare say that you didn’t lie? You’re clearly not on your period yesterday! You’re not on your period today either, right? I have proof, haha!”
I was stunned.
So this was what he meant by lying…
I felt a little uncomfortable.
It seemed that Liang Xue actually did not want to have a deep and intimate relationship with me. Otherwise, why would she lie to me about this? To think that I naively believed her!
However, at the same time, I heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that I was overthinking things. This fatty had not taken Liang Xue’s virginity.
However… what was the ‘evidence’ that he was talking about? What could prove whether Liang Xue was having her period?
However, Liang Xue said a little angrily, “Guo Zhicheng, if you continue like this, I’ll really scream for help!”
Guo Zhicheng chuckled, but it was obvious that he was also a little afraid that she would really scream for help. His tone softened. “Just tell that guy that you don’t like people without money. Isn’t that enough?”
Liang Xue’s tone turned cold. “If you’re so capable, why don’t you tell him yourself? Aren’t you afraid of him? Don’t you want to be my boyfriend?”
Guo Zhicheng cried out, “What a joke! If I tell him, what if he gets Teacher Chen to teach me a lesson later?”
Liang Xue said mockingly, “Didn’t you just say that you’re not afraid of him?”
Guo Zhicheng said embarrassedly, “I… Can’t I just say it out loud? Anyway, we can’t be like this. I bought all these clothes for you.. I already spend several thousand on you!”
