When Chen Xu returned, Tang Zhen was facing off with Wu Bin with a cold face.
“What’s going on?” Chen Xu walked up and asked Zhu Yaoyuan.
Zhu Yaoyuan’s expression was somewhat stiff. He whispered to Chen Xu, “Just now when I came back, Wu Bin was caught using Tang Zhen’s toothpaste. Tang Zhen confronted him, but Wu Bin said he accidentally took the wrong one.”
Chen Xu had heard of stealing money, stealing phones, but it was the first time he heard of stealing toothpaste.
“I was wondering why my toothpaste was being used up so quickly. Turns out there’s an inside thief.” Tang Zhen was getting angry. This toothpaste was a foreign brand, a bit expensive for him, but exceptionally good. He always hesitated to use too much, but Wu Bin secretly used a lot of it whenever he squeezed it.
Wu Bin stared at him with a gloomy look and said, “I said I just accidentally took the wrong one. Who would steal toothpaste? I don’t want to use your sissy stuff…”
“Haha, you really crack me up. How does my sissy stuff bother you? It’s better than being a thief like you.” Tang Zhen was sharp-tongued, full of momentum when arguing, while Wu Bin seemed like a pitiful bullied child.
It seemed like the words “thief” had struck a nerve with Wu Bin. He trembled all over, clenched his fists tightly, and hated Tang Zhen, saying, “Just because I come from the countryside, you call me a thief! I can’t choose where I’m born. Who do you think you are to look down on me?”
Tang Zhen was taken aback. He never even mentioned Wu Bin’s background. Yet Wu Bin felt wronged on his own, as if he had been greatly insulted.
With a flushed face and thick neck, Wu Bin’s chest heaved heavily, and his clenched fists seemed like they were about to rush up and fight Tang Zhen at any moment.
“Alright, alright, Tang Zhen, we’re all in the same dormitory. Don’t make it look ugly.” Zhu Yaoyuan, as the monitor, quickly stepped in to defuse the situation, pulling Tang Zhen aside first, then soothing Wu Bin, saying that Tang Zhen didn’t mean it.
Tang Zhen sat back in his own place, shrugged, and didn’t bother to argue with Wu Bin anymore.
Zhen Guo: You’re right, I need to be more careful next time.
Chen Xu: I have another new toothpaste. Take one.
Zhen Guo: You’re so cool, bro!
When Chen Xu handed Tang Zhen an unopened new toothpaste, Tang Zhen looked at the densely packed foreign language on it and felt a bit lost. What language is this? It looks so fancy.
“Thanks, I haven’t seen this toothpaste before. It smells good.” Tang Zhen curiously opened it and sniffed. It smelled very fragrant but not overwhelming.
“My family prepared it for me.” Just as Chen Xu felt that this toothpaste was too fragrant for him, it turned out to be the type that Tang Zhen liked.
“Your family is really nice, even preparing toothpaste for you.” Although Tang Zhen seemed like a sissy, he actually had two younger sisters at home and always took care of others more.
Chen Xu remembered Si Ye’s advice to him, and the corner of his lips lifted slightly coldly. “Hmm.”
The dormitory disturbance passed, and they each put away their valuable items. It wasn’t until two months later, when they switched to their second round of shower gel and shampoo, that they suddenly realized Wu Bin was still using the bottle from the beginning of the semester. That’s when they realized they had a strange roommate in the dorm.
The next morning, Chen Xu and his friends went to class as usual. Chen Xu, who was always watched by many boys and girls along the way, attracted even more attention today. However, unlike usual, the looks from his classmates were filled with disbelief and disdain.
“What’s going on?” Tang Zhen pulled Zhu Yaoyuan aside and whispered to him.
Zhu Yaoyuan shook his head in confusion, not knowing what had happened.
It wasn’t until they entered the classroom and sat down that many classmates kept their distance from Chen Xu. Tang Zhen discreetly took out his phone and asked a girl in the class who was close to him about the reason.
The girl sent him a link and asked if it was true.
Tang Zhen used a book to shield himself and discreetly checked his phone. There was a post trending in their school, and the main picture was Chen Xu.
“F***!” Tang Zhen couldn’t help but curse, attracting the teacher’s attention.
“Tang Zhen, do you want to come up and speak?” the teacher asked.
Tang Zhen quickly stood up and shook his head, apologizing nervously.
“Pay attention to the class.”
Tang Zhen nodded like a good student. Zhu Yaoyuan cast a questioning look at him, and Tang Zhen cautiously sent him the link.
After Zhu Yaoyuan saw it, he almost made the same “F***” expression as Tang Zhen did just now.
Moreover, the impact of this incident wasn’t just the post trending. Chen Xu was once again on the hot search.
“#Most Handsome College Entrance Examination Top Scum Male#”
“What’s wrong?” Chen Xu noticed Tang Zhen and Zhu Yaoyuan’s hesitant looks and asked in confusion.
“You better see for yourself.” Zhu Yaoyuan handed his phone to him.
Chen Xu frowned and took the phone. Although he expected nothing good, when he really saw the content on the phone, Chen Xu’s mood was indescribably complex.
He didn’t know that the scene where he gave money to the pregnant woman was secretly filmed and spread online, with rumors claiming that he made the girl pregnant at a young age and callously gave her money for an abortion.
Perhaps it was because the lighting was dim at the time, or maybe Chen Xu was in a bad mood, but in any case, he looked very cold in the photo, coupled with the pregnant girl crying non-stop, making Chen Xu in the photo look extremely bad.
There were several photos, starting from the two talking, to Chen Xu giving money, turning away, the girl standing alone under the street lamp holding the money, tears streaming down her face as she looked at Chen Xu’s departing figure, and finally a photo of the girl going to the hospital alone.
Seeing all this, Chen Xu furrowed his brows. In other words, these photos were not accidental, but someone had planned it for a long time, deliberately trying to ruin his reputation.
Otherwise, why would there be a photo of the girl going to the hospital?
Tang Zhen and Zhu Yaoyuan looked at Chen Xu cautiously, seeing his brows gradually furrowing and his expression becoming colder. Zhu Yaoyuan cleared his dry throat and deliberately smiled, “These must all be fake, hahaha. Chen Xu couldn’t possibly be this kind of person, right, Tang Zhen?”
Tang Zhen hurriedly nodded, “Right, how could Chen Xu be this kind of scum?”
After saying this, Tang Zhen suddenly remembered something. Wait, Chen Xu has a boyfriend, he’s gay, so it’s even more impossible for him to make a girl pregnant and then leave her to have an abortion alone.
Chen Xu handed the phone back to Zhu Yaoyuan coldly, saying, “No need to pay attention to it.”
Seeing Chen Xu’s indifferent attitude, Zhu Yaoyuan and Tang Zhen couldn’t help but want to applaud him. Chen Xu was Chen Xu, damn, he’s so cool.
After class, Chen Xu took his laptop and went to the library. On the way, he encountered a guy hugging his girlfriend, pointing at Chen Xu and saying, “See that? That guy might be handsome, but what’s the use? He’s just a scumbag. Unlike me, I wouldn’t let you go to have an abortion alone.”
After saying that, he felt like he made a valid point and proudly lifted his chin.
Chen Xu glanced at him, probably wanting to show off in front of his girlfriend. When their eyes met, the guy, feeling a bit intimidated, said, “What are you looking at? Idiot.”
Initially, Chen Xu didn’t want to bother with someone with such a brainless mind. But since the guy had already brought it up, there was no reason for Chen Xu to hold back.
Seeing that Chen Xu didn’t leave, but instead walked towards him, the guy felt a bit nervous, but with his girlfriend there, he couldn’t run away. So, he stiffened his neck and stared at Chen Xu, “If you want to fight, I’m not afraid of you.”
Chen Xu’s gaze was cool as he stopped in front of him. The guy’s girlfriend looked at Chen Xu from close range and felt that he was excessively good-looking, blushing involuntarily.
“A boyfriend who talks about letting you have an abortion is better off without. After all, apart from being ugly and having nothing special, he’s also the kind to casually talk about letting his girlfriend go for an abortion,” Chen Xu said softly, lowering his head and speaking to the girlfriend.
Chen Xu’s voice was clear like a teenager’s, with a hint of hoarseness transitioning into manhood. Flaws adorned his jade-like appearance, but they didn’t diminish his beauty.
The guy’s girlfriend looked at Chen Xu, then at her boyfriend beside her. She suddenly felt that her usually acceptable boyfriend couldn’t compare to Chen Xu in terms of temperament or appearance. He was indeed as Chen Xu described, unusually ugly.
Especially seeing her boyfriend’s furious appearance, he looked like a raging ape, completely ugly.
Recalling her boyfriend’s words just now about not letting her go for an abortion alone, the girlfriend also felt uncomfortable. Did her boyfriend always hint at her with such words?
After Chen Xu left, the guy kept muttering curses about Chen Xu, but he only dared to curse behind his back. When he saw Chen Xu approaching just now, he thought he was going to fight him, and he immediately became timid. Now, he still had lingering fear.
“Chen Xu is right, let’s break up,” the girlfriend suddenly looked up and let go of the guy’s hand.
The guy’s mind went blank, “Huh?”
“Wait for me, why should we break up?” The guy hurriedly caught up, begging his girlfriend not to break up, completely forgetting to curse Chen Xu.
Chen Xu heard many people gossiping about him along the way. He originally thought that after a while, no one would pay attention to this matter anymore. But the fact was that the person who schemed against him wanted to ruin him completely, keeping him stuck in the hot search.
The posts in the school were already deleted, but Weibo was full of rumors about Chen Xu being a scumbag.
“Chairman, Young Master Xu’s name is being bought for hot search,” Secretary Jiang knocked on Si Ye’s office door. Si Ye was busy with work and raised his head at the sound.
“What’s going on?” Si Ye’s face was cold, his eyes carrying a hint of frost.
Secretary Jiang showed him the hot search and reported that they had already sent someone to remove it, but as soon as it was removed, it immediately reappeared. Obviously, someone was deliberately buying hot searches for Chen Xu to blacken his name.
The pregnant girl in the photo, Si Ye had never seen her in his two lifetimes. But even if he hadn’t seen her, he knew that Chen Xu was not the irresponsible type of person. Moreover, Chen Xu had already obtained a marriage certificate with him. If Chen Xu had someone he liked, if he was already in a relationship, he wouldn’t marry him.
“Clear all related news and find out who’s behind the scenes trying to frame Xiao Xu,” Si Ye’s slender fingers tapped on the desk, his eyebrows carrying a frosty demeanor.
“Yes.” Secretary Jiang immediately turned around and went out to arrange it.
Si Ye glanced at his black screen phone. It had been a whole day, and Chen Xu hadn’t sent him a message or called to talk about this matter.
It wasn’t a good habit for a child to encounter trouble and not tell him about it.
Outside the window, neon lights flickered, and the lights came on. Si Ye glanced at the time and dialed an internal line. “Prepare the car.”
