Chapter 94 Dispute
Chapter 95: Dispute
There were four hosts on stage, two men and two women, and the young woman standing next to Wen Ning was particularly good-looking.
Her oval face had thin, curved eyebrows, and her almond-shaped eyes sparkled with a flickering glint. Her every frown and smile was filled with charm. As the young woman finished reading the script, she unconsciously glanced at Wen Ning next to her, her fair cheeks flushed with shame.
Someone from the next class was watching through binoculars, and upon seeing this scene, they immediately clapped their legs excitedly. "Ahhh, it's Senior Liu Sisi! I finally see her in the flesh! She and the boy next to her are such a perfect match! They're so talented and beautiful
, I'd never believe they weren't related!" Someone nearby immediately chimed in, "Yeah, that boy is the president of our student union, and he's said to be a top student. He's so handsome, it's really enviable!"
"Senior Liu isn't bad either, she's a good student and a key figure in the school's arts and culture department. She's beautiful and kind, they're a perfect match!"
Everyone's attention quickly shifted from the party to Wen Ning and Liu Sisi. A group of students chattered, their voices growing louder and louder, even from Fang Qing and the others.
Wang Nan, fearing Fang Qing might overthink things, immediately put his hands on his hips and shouted back, "What are you guys arguing about? The president has a girlfriend, so stop worrying. Just shut up and watch your show!"
This immediately enraged the students from the neighboring class. They were already gossiping, and suddenly someone interrupted them, and they were definitely not happy. Everyone stood up. "What? What's wrong with us? Who do you think you are? Just because you said he's in a relationship, he's in a relationship. What's wrong with us saying they're a good match? What's it got to do with you?"
Wang Nan's temper flared up, and he rolled up his sleeves, about to charge. Fang Qing and the other boy behind him immediately pulled him back.
"Forget it, forget it. Let them talk all they want. He's not going anywhere. Just ignore them," Fang Qing said, holding the agitated Wang Nan in a soothing voice.
But Wang Nan remained unconvinced. "Why are they just randomly pairing people up? You're obviously his girlfriend! A bunch of idle idiots, just messing around all day!"
The fact that Wen Ning and Fang Qing were dating was currently known only to their classmates. Wen Ning had originally planned to take Fang Qing to the student union for a bit, but Fang Qing, fearing it would get him into trouble, kept pushing it off. Unexpectedly, it still caused trouble.
Fang Qing finally managed to calm Wang Nan down after holding him, but Li Yufang from the next class was jealous of Fang Qing because she was prettier than herself. When she heard what Wang Nan had just said, she immediately sneered, "Oh, some people are so shameless. Senior Wen is handsome, but not everyone can get close to him. Some people shouldn't take themselves too seriously. They really think they can compete with the campus beauties just because they are pretty. Don't you see what kind of character they have!"
Hearing this, the other girls around Fang Qing were unhappy. They rolled up their sleeves and stood up, "Who are you scolding? Do you have the guts to say what you just said again? You are making innuendos as if we can't hear you?"
Li Yufang was startled by the people who surrounded her, but then she thought of what her cousin had told her before, and she felt confident. He was just a country bumpkin from a small place, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Standing up, he put his hands on his hips and looked in Fang Qing's direction. "I told you what's wrong? Senior Wen's suitors are lined up at the school gate. Who do you think you are? How dare you come out and embarrass yourself? Some people even claim to be Senior Wen's girlfriend. Oh, I laughed my ass off. I even said I was Andy Lau's wife!"
As soon as the words fell, the boys watching the excitement around him burst into laughter. Some even continued to parrot him, "Yes, yes, I also said I was Wen Bixia's boyfriend! Hahaha..."
Hearing this, the girls around Fang Qing could no longer listen. The two classes had already had friction, and this time they took the opportunity to fight directly.
Wang Nan and a few others threw down their stools and were about to go over to fight. The instructor heard the commotion and quickly ran over. He hurriedly stopped them and asked the boys to pull the girls who were already fighting apart, so as not to disrupt the welcome party.
Fang Qing had been protecting several girls, earning several red scratches on her arms. It wasn't that she wasn't angry, but she knew that if a scene like this got out of hand, it would disrupt the entire evening, and ultimately not only would her classmates be punished, but even Wen Ning would be implicated.
So, when the girls started fighting, she could only suppress her anger and try to break up the fight, earning herself numerous pinches and scratches in the back of her mind.
The instructor, unsure of what was going on, separated the two groups and escorted all the students involved in the disturbance away.
Standing on a quiet path, the instructor anxiously inquired about the situation. Upon learning that her own students were being verbally abused, the young instructor also grew angry. She had been bullied in this way in college, and she hated the sight of bullies who exploited their power to shout nonsense. But she sighed when she thought of her own students' innocent natures.
"I will uphold justice for you in this matter, but you also need to reflect on what you did. Were you completely blameless? Also, next time you encounter this kind of situation, use your brains and don't rush forward in excitement. If a fight breaks out, you'll all be punished! Don't worry about this matter. If they provoke you again, treat them as clowns. Just watch, don't fight. Do you understand?"
The group of students calmed down, finally realizing that their behavior had been too reckless. They lowered their heads and nodded obediently.
Seeing that his classmates felt very sorry for what they had done, Fang Qing stood up and apologized repeatedly. "I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, so many things wouldn't have happened. I'm sorry for causing trouble for everyone."
The instructor finally nodded. "I can't blame you. I can only say that you have a good relationship among your classmates. I'm relieved that you can be so united. It's better than those who fight among themselves all day long. Okay, let's go back to watch the show!"
After the instructor left, the group of students looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"You were so fierce just now. You pounced on me before I could react. If Fang Qing hadn't held you back, your face would have been scratched all over!"
"That won't do. Fang Qing is honest, but I can't swallow this anger. They are both fine, but these gossips are making up stories. I don't know how people like them got in..."
Fang Qing looked at everyone gratefully and bowed deeply. "Thank you, are you all okay?"
At this point, Wang Nan got angry again, "It's okay, I'm just frustrated! Just now, you guys tried to stop me, and the teacher came too quickly, so I didn't perform well..."
Zhang Liwen patted her head and said, "Be quiet. You'll have a chance to perform later. Let's go back and watch the show."
Everyone returned to the classroom and sat quietly. The students in the neighboring class saw them return and curled their lips in silence, but the atmosphere around them remained eerily quiet until the end of the party.
