Hong Zhixing stumbled out of the toilet, his eyes red, covering his face, his school uniform was mostly wet, and he looked aggrieved as if he had been bullied.
"Zhi Xing, what's wrong with you?" the short-haired girl asked immediately.
She stepped forward and supported Hong Zhixing.
Hong Zhixing's tears kept falling, she shook her head but didn't say anything.
But the more this happened, the more certain it was that she was bullied in the bathroom.
But at this moment, Li Pengfei shouted, "Where is Xu Zijun?"
Hong Zhixing raised her head, her face full of tears, and pursed her lips pitifully.
The students who were watching around began to talk about it and make all kinds of speculations when they saw this.
Then, at this time, Linyu came out of the bathroom holding Xu Zijun's shoulders.
Xu Zijun's eyes were as red and swollen as walnuts. Just because she was a little fat, she was not as pretty as Hong Zhixing. Her hair was half wet and looked far less pitiful than Hong Zhixing.
Seeing this, Lu Yanhe took a deep breath. Although he didn't know what the situation was, he knew that this matter was definitely troublesome.
He turned around and whispered in Chen Qin's ear, "Go find Teacher Liu."
Chen Qin nodded, glanced at Lin Yu, turned and left.
"Xu Zijun, you—" Hong Zhixing suddenly pointed at Xu Zijun in disbelief, as if he had been greatly provoked and insulted. "Why did you do this?"
This made everyone look surprised.
"Zhixing, what happened? Did Xu Zijun bully you?" The girl next to Hong Zhixing asked immediately.
Hong Zhixing did not answer. He gritted his teeth in grievance and anger, and glared at Xu Zijun angrily.
To others, this scene is more powerful than words.
Lin Yu angrily said, "Hong Zhixing, you're actually crying thief! I saw everything you did to Xu Zijun in the bathroom just now!"
Hong Zhixing shook his head again and again, denying Linyu's accusation.
Linyu's mind flashed back to the scene of Hong Zhixing pressing Xu Zijun's head into the toilet, and her heart felt like it was on fire.
There are such vicious people in this world!
Obviously, she was the one who bullied Xu Zijun, but because she suddenly rushed in and saw this scene, this person actually slapped himself, then lay down on the wet floor, pretending to be pitiful, and then cried "stop thief".
Hong Zhixing looked at Linyu innocently and aggrieved.
"Linyu, I know I'm your competitor. We're ranked similarly in our grade, and we'll be applying to some overlapping universities for independent enrollment. You want to discredit me and make me lose my competitiveness, but how can you confuse right and wrong for this?" Hong Zhixing complained, full of grievance. "My dad is a lawyer, how could I knowingly break the law! I went to Xu Zijun to find out what happened between her and Chu Saiying, but who could have known she would be so angry and take it out on me, blocking me in the bathroom and even hitting me! I've never suffered such injustice since I was a child!"
"You're lying!" Lin Yu shouted angrily. "Xu Zijun is such a coward, how could she possibly lay hands on you? Don't think I was the only one who saw you and your classmates corner her in the corner behind the canteen and threaten her a few days ago!"
Lu Yanhe finally found the time to speak.
"Yeah, weren't you the one who kept saying that Xu Zijun gave up the recommendation because she had a crush on Chu Saiying and wanted to use this as a pretext to get Chu Saiying's attention?" Lu Yanhe immediately followed up. He certainly believed Linyu's accusation, and he was even more convinced that Xu Zijun wouldn't do something like bullying Hong Zhixing. He unconditionally stood by the two girls in his class. "Back then, it wasn't just me and Linyu who witnessed this incident. There were other witnesses as well."
Hong Zhixing was shocked and his eyes widened.
Just when Lu Yanhe thought she had nothing more to say, Hong Zhixing suddenly understood, "Xu Zijun, is this why you attacked me? Because I warned you not to have any inappropriate thoughts about Chu Saiying, and you hold a grudge against me and are looking for an opportunity to retaliate against me today?"
"I didn't." Xu Zijun shook his head and whispered, "I didn't."
The direction of events was beyond everyone's expectations.
The students who had been watching were all confused.
Who is bullying whom?
Lu Yanhe looked at Li Pengfei and asked, "What's going on?"
Was Li Pengfei innocently involved, or what, that led to him being stopped at the toilet door by these girls?
Li Pengfei said angrily, "I was looking for Xu Zijun for something, and when she came out of the bathroom, she was blocked in the bathroom by Hong Zhixing and a few others. They wouldn't let her out, so I went to stop them. Who knew that Hong Zhixing pushed Xu Zijun into the bathroom, and the others blocked me at the bathroom door. I couldn't get in, so I was about to go back to the class and call the girls for help, but who knew that this girl suddenly bumped into me and accused me of touching her breasts! I was so angry that I pushed her, and she screamed like a madman, saying that I hit her!"
Li Pengfei pointed at the short-haired girl, filled with indignation.
His tone was so sincere and angry that he gained the trust of everyone present almost as soon as he finished speaking.
Compared to this guy who looks like a straightforward person, the short-haired girl - Hong Zhixing's henchman, looks too disadvantageous and looks mean.
She was publicly accused by Li Pengfei, and her features contorted for a moment. She angrily said, "You are shameless! It was you who touched my breasts and hit me!"
Lu Yanhe glanced over and said, "What did Hong Zhixing say? There's no surveillance in the restroom, but there are cameras in the corridor. You'll know the truth of everything you're saying when you look at the surveillance footage. There's no need to accuse me here."
He raised his hand and pointed at the camera in the corridor.
The short-haired girl's face immediately turned pale, and she seemed to have no idea that her lie could be exposed at any time.
Li Pengfei snorted coldly, "These people have evil intentions. They bullied their classmates and then turned the tables on them. How shameless!"
The direction of things finally changed at this moment.
Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Li Pengfei gave the short-haired girl a blow at the critical moment, giving them hope that their slanderous attitude would be exposed.
"Linlin, don't be afraid." Hong Zhixing's pitiful expression slowly faded, but it wasn't a change of expression. Instead, it was as if stimulated by something, becoming resolute and fearless. "Maybe you misunderstood when you were emotionally excited, but you were doing it to protect me. I will never let them slander you."
Lu Yanhe looked at Hong Zhixing in disbelief.
Lin Yu also looked at her in disbelief. She, who never used to curse, couldn't help but ask, "How can you be so shameless? Misunderstanding? The surveillance camera has recorded it, and you've already said all the slander you said against Li Pengfei. Can you wash away the slander you made against Li Pengfei with just one misunderstanding?"
