Chapter 44: Distinguishing right from wrong and proving bullying
At noon the next day.
Cheng Fenghao didn't come to class in the morning.
Chu Xiyan went to see Cheng Fenghao last night. His injuries were extremely serious and it would probably take several days before he could return to the classroom for classes.
Cheng Ye was too harsh!
Thinking of this, she felt it necessary to have a good talk with Cheng Ye.
Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian agreed to go out for lunch at noon today.
As soon as they walked out of the school gate, Chu Xiyan stepped forward to stop Cheng Ye.
"Cheng Ye, let's talk." Chu Xiyan said, pursing her lips.
As soon as the voice fell, Cheng Fenghao appeared from nowhere.
He was leaning on a cane, with a white gauze bandaged on his face, "Xiyan, I can't fall behind in my studies, so I came back to attend class."
Chu Xiyan turned around and saw the strong Cheng Fenghao, her eyes were stunned.
Feng Hao's doctor said that it would take at least three days to be discharged from the hospital, but he was discharged early.
Chu Xiyan's eyes revealed her heartache and admiration for Feng Hao. She asked him about his health, "Why don't you stay in the hospital for a few more days? Your wound hasn't healed yet."
"No, I won't stay any longer." Cheng Fenghao replied pitifully, "Studying is more important. I missed a whole morning of classes, and now I have to hurry up and make up for it."
"Xiyan, I'm going back to the classroom to study." Cheng Fenghao looked strong and unyielding.
"Okay." Chu Xiyan sighed, and after Feng Hao left, she turned around and looked, but Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian were nowhere to be seen.
She quickly sent someone to look for them and soon found out that the two were in a restaurant on the back street of the school.
Chu Xiyan walked into the restaurant and sat next to Jiang Mian, ready to talk to Cheng Ye who was sitting opposite Jiang Mian.
Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of many men in the store.
One is noble and cold, the other is well-behaved and innocent. Two beautiful girls of different types are sitting at the same table with the handsome boy to eat.
The men all cast envious glances.
Jiang Mian stood up without saying a word and sat directly next to Cheng Ye. She lowered her head obediently and chewed the fragrant dumplings slowly.
Cheng Ye put down his chopsticks, leaned back on his chair with his arms folded across his chest, his brows showing obvious impatience, "Don't disturb us while we're eating."
"If it's Cheng Fenghao's business, then you really have nothing to do."
"His business is not as important as our meal." Cheng Ye ordered them to leave, his tone was extremely sarcastic, "Miss Chu, can you leave now?"
Chu Xiyan felt extremely embarrassed. She was first ignored by Jiang Mian, and then ordered to leave by Cheng Ye.
As the daughter of a wealthy family, others always act according to her wishes.
Chu Xiyan was not happy, "Cheng Ye, I came here to eat too, you have no right to kick me out."
Chu Xiyan casually ordered a bowl of hot and sour noodles, and then waited quietly, "Now you have no reason to kick me out, right?"
Cheng Ye glanced at him coldly and sneered, "Whatever you want."
He continued to eat dumplings.
After the hot and sour noodles came, Chu Xiyan had no appetite.
It was her first time to eat in such a simple place.
But when she saw Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian eating dumplings, she didn't show any discomfort.
Chu Xiyan's eyes fell on the sleeves of the two people that occasionally touched each other, and she lost her appetite even more.
With Cheng Ye's cold attitude, she would definitely feel very uncomfortable.
But she was actually staring at Cheng Ye while he was eating, absorbed in it.
Among the crowd, Cheng Ye's appearance is definitely very outstanding.
He is 187cm tall and has smooth muscle lines on his arms.
There is absolutely no sign that he grew up in an orphanage.
Aren't people living in orphanages supposed to be skinny, short and thin?
Why isn't Cheng Ye like this? !
Chu Xiyan raised the corner of her mouth unconsciously, "Cheng Ye, the orphanage where you live should have good food and daily life, right?"
Having said that, Chu Xiyan subconsciously looked at Jiang Mian beside Cheng Ye.
She had investigated and found out that Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian were from the same orphanage.
Cheng Ye didn't want to answer Chu Xiyan's question. He stood up and said, "Jiang Mian, let's go."
"Yeah." Jiang Mian followed Cheng Ye obediently.
When Chu Xiyan saw Cheng Ye walking out of the restaurant, she hurried over to stop him, "Are you still blaming me for favoring Feng Hao?"
Cheng Ye said in a cold tone, "I don't care."
"But since the day of Feng Hao's birthday party, you have completely changed your personality! You didn't treat me like this before!!"
Cheng Ye smiled, "I think you misunderstood."
"What?" Chu Xiyan was stunned.
"I used to care about the Cheng family, so I took your face into consideration." Cheng Ye had a blank expression on his face and said in a nonchalant tone, "Do you understand?"
Chu Xiyan's face was full of disbelief. "Are you considering my face because of the Cheng family?"
Rather than her own charm?
"Oh, it seems that you are not so stupid that you are hopeless." Cheng Ye put one hand in his pocket and held Jiang Mian's hand with the other.
Chu Xiyan's eyes moved downwards. The sight of their hands holding together was so dazzling that it almost burned her eyes.
This feeling was particularly strange. She obviously didn't like Cheng Ye, but why did she feel extremely uncomfortable when other girls got close to Cheng Ye?
Or does she like it without knowing it?!
Chu Xiyan gritted her teeth and changed the subject, "Cheng Ye, can you please stop bullying Feng Hao? He has been hospitalized twice because of you!"
"Captain Chu, Cheng Ye did nothing this time and did not bully Cheng Fenghao at all. Before you slander him, don't you provide evidence first?" Jiang Mian had an obedient face and a soft voice.
"Cheng Ye, you admitted last night that you were the one who beat Feng Hao." Chu Xiyan didn't know how to respond to Jiang Mian, so she had to bring up the "facts" that she heard last night.
Jiang Mian blinked, "Captain Chu, don't you have the ability to distinguish right from wrong? Cheng Ye just feels that there is no point in explaining it."
"You can think whatever you want. Cheng Ye doesn't care."
"He always says that Cheng Ye bullied Cheng Fenghao, but he can't produce any reliable evidence."
"Captain Chu, are you so easily led by him?" Jiang Mian asked with curiosity.
"I'm talking to Cheng Ye." Chu Xiyan looked unhappy, "Why are you butting in?"
Jiang Mian was frightened and hid behind Cheng Ye trembling.
"Okay, you're accusing me of being addicted, right?" Cheng Ye's eyes were cold, "If that's the case, I will clearly prove that I bullied him."
Chu Xiyan's body froze. "You mean to say that I wronged you? Feng Hao was deceiving me?!"
"Impossible, Feng Hao is so kind and generous, he treats you like his own brother and always speaks well of you..."
Chu Xiyan's heart was in turmoil. She didn't believe Feng Hao would lie to her. There must be some misunderstanding.
Cheng Ye left Chu Xiyan impatiently.
Back in the classroom, Cheng Ye glanced coldly at Cheng Fenghao who was sitting in his seat.
He grabbed Cheng Fenghao's collar forcefully and pulled his entire body up.
Cheng Fenghao was horrified, "Cheng Ye, are you going to bully me again?!"
