Bian Wei sneered, "Who knows if you're telling the truth or not? What if you were in on it the whole time? I paid good money, and even took out a high-interest loan just to please you!"
Before he could finish speaking, he roared and lunged.
Wen Tingxue agilely dodged, their positions reversing.
"Wait, wait, wait!"
Seeing him about to pounce again, Wen Tingxue's heart raced as she raised her hand.
She tried to placate him, "Bian Wei! I think we should both calm down.
It's getting late, why don't we wait until morning? Once everyone is gathered, we can discuss this. What do you say?"
As she spoke, Wen Tingxue subtly shuffled backward.
***
When she felt the moment was right, without waiting for his reply, she dashed towards the dormitory.
She felt she had given it her all, running as fast as she could.
However, she was still caught.
They tumbled onto the lawn, Wen Tingxue pinned beneath him. Her head hit hard, and as she regained consciousness, she realized... he was unbuckling his belt!
Wen Tingxue's alarm bells immediately blared. She struggled to move away, but he quickly pulled her back.
Her left hand was injured, making many combat stances ineffective, and potentially counterproductive.
"Bian Wei! Bian Wei, do you know what you're doing?! You're breaking the law!!"
Unable to break free, Wen Tingxue spoke to him rapidly, trying to reason with him.
Simultaneously, her hands fumbled around, praying to find a hard object like a stone.
Bian Wei, his eyes bloodshot, pressed down on her, his pants already half-undone.
"Of course, I know what I'm doing. I paid for it, so I'm going to enjoy it! You should have thought about this consequence when you were flaunting your vanity!"
Wen Tingxue ignored him, digging out a half-buried stone and smashing it at him!
At the same moment, a bright light shone from the distance.
It was blinding.
Wen Tingxue shielded her eyes before she could see clearly. Two people stood by the roadside, one standing, one sitting.
The one standing held a flashlight and asked in a cold tone, "Who's there?"
"Help!" Wen Tingxue's mouth moved faster than her brain, and then she scrambled towards them.
Bian Wei, having been hit, quickly pursued her.
However, just as he was about to grab Wen Tingxue, the tall girl kicked him away.
With a graceful landing, she looked down at the sprawled Bian Wei and sneered, "Trash!"
Wen Tingxue: So cool!
While she was stunned, a remarkably pleasant voice from behind her, as warm as a spring breeze, asked, "Are you alright?"
Wen Tingxue turned her head blankly.
How to describe this face?
A jade-like gentleman, peerlessly handsome?
No, that didn't seem enough.
His eyes held something deeper than gentleness.
Captivating, reassuring.
"What?" the man chuckled, his voice as beautiful as chiming jade. "Did I startle you?"
As he slightly curved his lips, Wen Tingxue finally noticed he was in a wheelchair.
Her gaze fell on his legs, draped with a white, fluffy blanket.
Sensing her scrutiny, the man said plainly, "Crippled."
"Ah..." Wen Tingxue was too embarrassed to respond.
Fortunately, the man didn't mind. He smiled and extended his hand, "Get up."
She was still sitting on the grass, in a rather awkward posture.
"Thank you."
Wen Tingxue thanked him but didn't take his help.
Her partner was extremely jealous; it was better to avoid any suspicion.
Still, this person's hands were beautiful too – long, slender, and even. Though his skin was fair, it had a healthy flush.
The tips of his fingers, holding a moon-white handkerchief, were slightly pink.
When the light swept over them, they were incredibly translucent.
"Here, wipe your face."
He looked at the dark smudges on her face with a smile.
The little girl smiled sheepishly, "Thank you."
She took the handkerchief from his hand and quickly wiped the dirt from her face.
"I..." Looking at the now soiled handkerchief, the girl hesitated and asked, "Can I wash it and return it to you? Could I have your contact information?"
"No need."
"Then..." Hearing his reluctance, Wen Tingxue gritted her teeth and said, "Can I pay you back?"
The man looked up, a hint of amusement in his pale,琉璃-like eyes. "It's fine, it's not expensive."
Wen Tingxue: ...Not expensive?
A handkerchief costing over a thousand yuan is not expensive?
Did he think she didn't recognize the brand?
The little girl pouted with a playful glint in her clear, watery eyes.
The man chuckled softly, "We'll meet again tomorrow morning. If it's convenient, could you return it to me then, after you've washed it?"
"Okay!"
After agreeing, Wen Tingxue realized and asked with a confused expression, "Tomorrow... where will we meet?"
The man smiled gently, "We will meet."
He then turned his gaze towards the apprehended Bian Wei, offering no explanation.
Wen Tingxue blinked, puzzled. Do wealthy people always speak so cryptically?
Strange.
*Dong*
The bound Bian Wei was thrown at the man's feet. The cool girl with her long hair tied in a high ponytail asked indifferently, "How should we handle him?"
The man looked at Wen Tingxue with a calm expression. Wen Tingxue pursed her lips in silence and said, "Leave it to the school."
Bian Wei had troubled her repeatedly. Even if he had his reasons, three strikes and he's out.
Moreover, she had made an explanation after learning everything.
But he didn't believe her.
He continued to stare at her relentlessly.
Since that was the case, she didn't need to be soft-hearted.
"Mhm! Mhm!"
Bian Wei glared at her venomously, as if he could devour her alive.
Wen Tingxue ignored him and took out her phone, intending to call her advisor.
But the moment the screen lit up, she received a message from Lu Youran: [Meng Xiyao is back.]
Several recent incidents involved Meng Xiyao, yet she wouldn't answer her calls or reply to her messages.
Now that she had finally shown up, Wen Tingxue naturally wanted to question her clearly. But Bian Wei...
Sensing her dilemma, the man said gently, "Leave him to me."
He motioned for the girl to call the dean of students.
Wen Tingxue's eyes widened slightly, looking at him with surprise, "Are you... a teacher?"
The man smiled faintly, "You could say that."
The dean of students, who happened to be patrolling the area, arrived shortly after receiving the message.
Wen Tingxue briefly explained the situation and returned to her dormitory.
Unbeknownst to her, after she left, Yu Wenli emerged from the shadows.
The man smiled slightly and asked him, "How do you want to handle this?"
Yu Wenli's icy gaze swept over Bian Wei. Bian Wei looked at him in disbelief, seemingly unable to comprehend the scene before him.
What? What was going on?
How could Wen Tingxue's boyfriend be here?!
Why didn't he appear earlier?!
What was his relationship with the man in front of him?!
Why wasn't the dean of students dealing with his predicament?!
So many questions swirled in his mind, but he had no opportunity to ask.
He could only stare with wide eyes, trying to get an answer from the other party.
Yu Wenli, however, didn't even spare him a second glance.
"Rap_ing a female student, what is the school's disciplinary action?"
Under the bright moonlight, the distinguished young man looked at the dean of students with a cold expression.
The latter immediately replied, "Depending on the severity, measures can range from a warning to expulsion."
Yu Wenli let out a faint "Oh," and asked, "And you think the situation tonight is severe or not?"
The dean instinctively looked at the man. The man's eyes were lowered, his jade-white face expressionless.
"Severe...?"
Not receiving any direct hint, the dean tentatively gave his judgment. Yu Wenli smiled with satisfaction, "Very good."
The dean: "..."
Bian Wei: "!!!"
How could this happen!
It's not fair!
He hadn't done anything yet!
Bian Wei was taken away. Yu Wenli took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket.
Taking a puff and exhaling, his mood improved slightly.
"Any progress on the drugging incident?" he asked.
The man smiled gently, "You know the power I have. I can't control the Lan family for now."
The KTV where the incident occurred was Lan family property.
"However," the man said, toying with the thin blanket on his lap, "Fu Yuchuan has already started an investigation."
Yu Wenli let out a cold, meaningful sneer and didn't respond.
Meanwhile, at room 606.
"If you hadn't deliberately seduced him, would Jing Xiao have looked at you?!"
Unable to stand Meng Xiyao's manipulative words, Lu Youran directly attacked, but was restrained by those around her.
The two groups confronted each other in the dormitory. Meng Xiyao was protected in the center, weeping prettily.
"Youran, you've really misunderstood me. When I was with Brother Jing Xiao, you had already broken up. Why are you calling me a homewrecker?"
She cried as if heartbroken, as if she might faint at any moment.
"I know you're upset right now, but you can't take it out on me or my things..."
She looked pitifully at the mess on the floor.
After returning to the dorm, Lu Youran grew increasingly angry and simply bundled up Meng Xiyao's belongings and threw them all outside the door.
As Wen Tingxue walked in, she nearly stepped on a "minefield."
"Still pretending?" Lu Youran, furious, put her hands on her hips and laughed, "You're my roommate! How could you not know if I broke up with Jing Xiao?!"
Meng Xiyao shook her head innocently, her voice weak, acting entirely like a victim.
"I really didn't know. How could I know so clearly about you and your boyfriend... your ex-boyfriend?
Brother Jing Xiao told me you broke up before National Day. If your relationship was already fractured, don't I have the right to pursue my own happiness?"
She acted so pitiable, and her reasons were acceptable to others.
Therefore, many people advised Lu Youran.
"It's just a man. If it's over, it's over. Meng Xiyao didn't do it on purpose."
"You say I kissed Jing Xiao during National Day? Show me proof! Don't just make baseless accusations!
Brother Jing Xiao and I did meet during National Day, but that was because he was in a bad mood, and I couldn't bear to see him sad, so I went to see him!"
She spoke righteously, as if she were the one who had been wronged.
Lu Youran was genuinely shocked by her audacity and, laughing in anger, nodded, "You want proof? I have it! I have plenty here!"
Meng Xiyao's expression changed slightly. Just then, the advisor arrived after receiving a call.
"What's going on here? Such a scene?"
The advisor frowned as they entered the dormitory. Lu Youran got straight to the point, "Meng Xiyao has terrible character. I want her out of this dorm!"
Meng Xiyao immediately retorted, "On what grounds? This dorm isn't yours to decide."
Lu Youran sneered, "Based on the evidence I have, and because you shamelessly harmed Wen Tingxue!"
Even now, Meng Xiyao remained defiant. "Advisor, Lu Youran is just upset about the breakup and is talking nonsense. Please don't take it seriously..."
Before she could finish, everyone suddenly gasped in unison.
It's the New Year, I'm so lazy.
I'll post one chapter first. The remaining two chapters will be posted this afternoon. I won't stay up late today. I'll sleep now. Good night (〃‘▽‘〃).
