Chapter 40: Falling Out
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The more I listened, the more my heart sank.
It turned out that Liang Xue was still a vain girl after all.
Of course, Guo Zhicheng had brought this upon himself. In just a few days, he had already spent a few thousand yuan on Liang Xue. If she really became his girlfriend, then he would not be able to avoid turning into a walking ATM machine.
It suddenly became quiet. After a long while, Liang Xue said coldly, “Are you saying that you’re the only one spending money? Those two pairs of socks I bought for you were both branded. Didn’t you use them too?”
These words sounded familiar. Back when she wanted me to help her pay off her campus loan, she had treated me like this. Now, it was Guo Zhicheng’s turn.
Guo Zhicheng was obviously not as gullible as I was. He said angrily, “Those two pairs of socks add up to only a little. Stop fooling around with me. Let’s go. Tonight, either you come with me to my house, or I’ll cut all ties with you!”
Hearing this, I felt delighted.
Guo Zhicheng was stupid. Liang Xue would definitely cut all ties with him first!
However, Liang Xue actually softened up. “Don’t be like this. I was just angry for a moment.”
It felt as if my heart had been cut by a knife. I became very angry.
Judging by her reaction, it was clear that she could not bear to cut all ties with Guo Zhicheng!
After all, Guo Zhicheng was willing to spend money on her. He was a very convenient ATM machine, and she was probably afraid of losing him!
I secretly swore in my heart that if she agreed to follow him back to his house, I would sever all ties with her!
Suddenly, a female voice could be heard, “What are the two of you doing here!?”
I was shocked and raised my head. I saw a middle-aged woman who looked like a teacher shouting from the balcony on the third floor.
I quickly turned around and fled. I did not dare to stay there any longer.
I guessed that the female teacher was going to the female dormitory to check on something. When she saw the two of them on the balcony downstairs, she thought that they were doing some shady business and shouted.
I ran far away before I dared to look in that direction again. I saw Liang Xue and Guo Zhicheng go their separate ways. One of them headed out of the school while the other went around from the back of the dormitory building to the front. I guessed that she was going back to the dormitory.
Only then did I heave a sigh of relief. I was both angry and glad.
Fortunately, that female teacher interrupted them. Otherwise, it would have been over.
If Liang Xue really agreed to Guo Zhicheng’s request, I really did not know how to face all of this.
It was difficult to throw away two whole years of a relationship!
The next morning, I was in a bad mood. During class, I did not sit with Liang Xue. I sat in a corner at the back of the classroom.
Yang Gang finally returned to class. There were a few band-aids on his face and body. It seemed that his injuries from that day were not too serious.
It was lunchtime after Yang Gang’s class.
I was about to go for lunch when Yang Gang walked over and said with a dark expression, “Zhang Lu, don’t leave yet. I have something to tell you!”
I was a little surprised. I asked, “Teacher Yang, what’s the matter?”
There were still about half of the students in the classroom. They had not left yet, but they were quite far away, and they were looking at us.
Yang Gang revealed a cold expression. He slowly said, “I heard that you and Chen Hanwei are in cahoots?”
I was taken aback.
He and Chen Hanwei were like fire and water. He must have heard that Chen Hanwei was protecting me, so he wanted to cause trouble for me!
I was doomed!
Although Yang Gang could not defeat Chen Hanwei, he had a good relationship with the management of the university. If he wanted to deal with me, Chen Hanwei would not be able to protect me!
Especially now that my value to Chen Hanwei had dropped greatly, he might not even speak up for me!
As expected, Yang Gang gritted his teeth and said, “Last time when Teacher Xia was bullied by that Chen guy, you were the one who asked her out, right?”
His voice was so low that only I could hear it.
My heart sank and I stuttered, “Teacher Yang, listen to me. At that time, I was just… thanking Teacher Xia. I didn’t expect Teacher Chen to appear…”
Yang Gang sneered, “Is that so? Then tell me, why did Chen Hanwei help you out that day? Why did start to protect you after that?”
I was momentarily speechless.
Slap!
Yang Gang slapped me across the face and said through gritted teeth, “Motherf*cker! I already knew that you weren’t a good person. You actually teamed up with that bastard Chen Hanwei to go against me!”
As he cursed, he slapped me across the face again. I did not dare to retaliate and could only shield my face. After receiving a few vicious slaps, the corner of my lips was torn and blood flowed out!
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, “Teacher Chen is here!”
Everyone was shocked. Even Yang Gang was so scared that he stopped and turned around to look at the back door.
Chen Hanwei was standing outside the back door with his hands in his pockets. He was looking at us with a gloomy expression.
“Chen Hanwei!” Yang Gang seemed to be afraid of him. He shouted and his eyes started to flicker.
“Teacher Yang, don’t worry about me. Continue to beat him.” Chen Hanwei’s words stunned everyone, including me.
The discussion became even louder.
“What’s going on? Isn’t Teacher Chen protecting Zhang Lu?”
“That’s right. He doesn’t look like he’s protecting Zhang Lu!”
…
Yang Gang was probably muttering in his heart as well. He said through gritted teeth, “Stop trying to scare me. This is a school. If you dare to hit me, I’ll make it so that you won’t be able to continue being a teacher!”
Normally, when Chen Hanwei heard such words, he would have already exploded in anger.
However, at this moment, he actually smiled. “Don’t misunderstand. I’m speaking the truth. Go ahead and hit him. If you run out of strength, I’ll help you hit him. This bastard deserves to be beaten to death!”
When I heard those words, I was so shocked that my jaw hung open. I cried out, “Teacher Chen!”
Chen Hanwei shouted, “Shut up! Do you think that you could deceive me so easily? Let me tell you, I’ll make you understand the consequences of lying to me today!”
My entire body trembled.
Could it be that he knew that I was the one who informed Yang Gang that night?
How did he know?!
When I sent the message, no one saw me!
Yang Gang was obviously more suspicious than I was. He looked back and forth between us suspiciously. With a thought, he suddenly said, “Sure, if you want to hit him, then just do it.”
As he said that, he retreated to the side. It was obvious that he was determined to observe the situation.
Chen Hanwei did not hesitate and walked in with large strides.
I was shocked. I jumped out of my seat and tried to escape.
If he beat me, I might really die!
However, his movements were obviously much faster than mine. He tripped me and I fell to the ground, causing my nose to bleed!
The next second, Chen Hanwei’s feet were like a raging storm, attacking me crazily!
The only thing I could do was to cover my head and curl up, desperately protecting my vital parts!
After a few minutes, Chen Hanwei withdrew and retreated to the side.
I could not hold on any longer. I collapsed and panted like an ox. However, I gritted my teeth and did not make a sound.
It was as if my entire body had been torn apart. The intense pain kept attacking my nerves!
I felt that some parts of my body had already been broken!
All around me, the students were completely dumbfounded and could not make a sound.
Yang Gang, who was at the side, was also surprised.. He said, “Chen Hanwei, you’re really not holding back? Do you really want to kill him?”
