Chapter 290: Chapter 290: A Bite
Tang Jingyi’s words were like a huge stone thrown into a calm pond, and the entire classroom exploded instantly.
“What? What did Tang Jingyi just say?”
“She bit Wang Yan? And it was at night?”
“What happened between them last night? No wonder Tang Jingyi was sighing so much; something must have happened last night.”
…
All the students started discussing animatedly, but everyone had the same thought in mind, which was that something must have happened between Wang Yan and Tang Jingyi last night.
In fact, a lot did happen between Wang Yan and Tang Jingyi the previous night, but none of it was what these students imagined.
Xie Xiaoxian, who overheard this, couldn’t help but widen her eyes. She had explicitly forbidden dating among students, but her star student, Tang Jingyi, had openly said such a thing in the classroom.
Catwoman Xiaojie also felt a shiver in her heart, and her gaze at Tang Jingyi immediately changed: Who would have thought, a quiet girl like Tang Jingyi could be so fierce? Did she take Wang Yan down last night?
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Wang Yan, eager to see how he would react.
When Wang Yan heard Tang Jingyi’s words, he couldn’t help but recall Tang Jingyi’s terrifying strength from last night. Originally, his neck only had a minor bruise, but as soon as he linked it to her words, he felt the pain again.
Wang Yan quickly covered his neck and shook his head repeatedly, saying, “It’s nothing, it’s nothing.”
If Wang Yan hadn’t covered his neck, the other students wouldn’t have seen the bite mark on his neck, but with his hand there, it became very clear.
On Wang Yan’s neck, right at the edge of where his hand was covering, there was a distinct bruise shaped like a tooth mark, very clear.
“Oh my god! Tang Jingyi is fierce!”
“She actually left a bite mark on Wang Yan’s neck. What on earth did they do last night?”
At this point, all the students’ imaginations ran wild, reaching the utmost extremes of what they could imagine.
At that moment, Xie Xiaoxian’s face turned completely blue, and she slapped the desk, shouting, “Tang Jingyi, Wang Yan, what’s with this bite mark?”
Tang Jingyi was startled, only then realizing that Xie Xiaoxian was still standing nearby. In her concern for Wang Yan, she had completely forgotten about Xie Xiaoxian.
Panicking inside, Tang Jingyi hastily explained, “Teacher Xie, let me explain…”
Xie Xiaoxian said angrily, “No need to explain. I just want to know, did you bite that mark?”
Tang Jingyi had never seen Xie Xiaoxian so angry at her before, and she was filled with fear, so she quickly nodded, “Yes, yes.”
“Where did you bite him?” Xie Xiaoxian was even angrier now.
“On the bed—oh no, not on my bed, it was someone else’s bed. No, it was like this, Teacher Xie—” The more Tang Jingyi tried to explain, the less she could make herself clear, stammering in her anxious state.
As soon as they heard it was on a bed, all the students in the class let out a loud “Oh—” sound, giving Wang Yan and Tang Jingyi peculiar looks.
At this point, Tang Jingyi became even more anxious and quickly said, “Last night, Wang Yan and I were working part-time, and then we went home, and then…”
Upon hearing this, all the students let out another loud “Oh—” sound.
According to Tang Jingyi’s explanation, things became clearer.
It was obvious: yesterday, Wang Yan accompanied Tang Jingyi to her part-time job, and after they finished working and went home, they ended up in Tang Jingyi’s bed, where she left a bite mark on Wang Yan’s neck.
As for what else happened besides the bite mark, Tang Jingyi might not have said, but all the students understood perfectly.
The uproar from the classmates drowned out the rest of Tang Jingyi’s explanation, and no one heard what she said after that.
Xie Xiaoxian’s face grew darker, and just as Tang Jingyi was about to explain further, she slammed the desk and yelled, “Tang Jingyi, you have really disappointed me. Get out, both of you get out.”
“Teacher Xie, I…” Tang Jingyi wanted to explain, but Xie Xiaoxian interrupted her immediately, leaving Tang Jingyi red-faced with anxiety.
Seeing this, Wang Yan couldn’t help but frown. Despite Tang Jingyi’s frightening strength, she was being wronged, and it involved him, so he felt he should clarify things for her.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan said calmly, “As the old saying goes: the wind cannot be tied, the shadow cannot be caught. As a teacher, how can you chase shadows and make wild guesses?”
Originally, Xie Xiaoxian had an inexplicable feeling toward Wang Yan, especially seeing her favorite student taken away by Wang Yan, which made her feel like she had pent-up anger inside.
Seeing Wang Yan speak up for Tang Jingyi made Xie Xiaoxian even angrier. She shouted at Wang Yan, “Fine, you explain. Let’s see how you explain!”
When they heard Wang Yan was about to explain, the class immediately quieted down, and everyone’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
They actually didn’t want to hear Wang Yan’s explanation, but rather to find clues in his explanation to imagine what really happened between Wang Yan and Tang Jingyi yesterday.
Wang Yan said, “Yesterday, it was like this, I ran into Tang Jingyi at the school gate…”
Wang Yan had just started when Xiong Jie shouted, “I can vouch for it, Wang Yan isn’t lying; I saw them hugging each other at the gate after school.”
Initially, when Xiong Jie testified, everyone was surprised.
After all, everyone in the class knew that Xiong Jie and Wang Yan didn’t get along, but when they heard what Xiong Jie said after, everyone burst out laughing.
It turned out Xiong Jie was putting effort into smearing Wang Yan.
After saying that, Xiong Jie was a bit afraid Wang Yan might retaliate, but considering he had slapped himself dozens of times yesterday, he figured that even if Wang Yan took revenge, he had it coming.
After what Xiong Jie said, and since it was indeed true, Wang Yan could only nod helplessly, “Oh, we were hugging because Tang Jingyi lost her balance.”
Hearing Wang Yan’s explanation, no one believed it. Everyone thought: How strange, Tang Jingyi always stands firmly in front of us. If she’s ever unsteady, let us know beforehand so we can hug her too.
Xie Xiaoxian snorted coldly and said menacingly, “Explain, continue explaining.”
Wang Yan didn’t expect that his explanation would only darken the situation. If he didn’t clarify, it might never become clear, so he stiffened himself and said, “And then we…”
But just as Wang Yan spoke those words, he suddenly showed a change in expression, eyes shifting through the window to the outside, then said, “Oh no, something urgent is happening outside. I’ll explain later.”
With that, Wang Yan turned around and prepared to leave the classroom.
Seeing Wang Yan about to leave, Xie Xiaoxian rushed in front of him, closed the classroom door, and with her back to it, turned to Wang Yan, saying coldly, “Stop trying to find excuses to escape. You’re not leaving this room until you clear things up.”
Wang Yan was anxious, “Teacher Xie, there’s a real danger outside. There are people with guns breaking into the campus.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaoxian sneered and said, “That’s way too far-fetched as an excuse; can’t you come up with something more believable? I’ll tell you, Wang Yan, if there really are gunmen on campus, I’ll let you bite me on the neck.”
