Chapter 23 Spreading Rumors

"Xuanxuan, let's go!"

At that moment, Che Rong called out from the classroom door.

"Then we'll chat on QQ."

Qiao Zixuan blushed and ran away.

Watching Qiao Zixuan's retreating figure, Wang Yue couldn't help but imagine several novel plots.

"The Class Beauty Falls in Love with Me"

"Rebirth: The Class Beauty Confesses to Me"

"The Unspoken Story Between the Class Beauty and Me During the Mid-Autumn Festival"

Meanwhile.

Che Rong asked curiously, "Xuanxuan, what did you say to Wang Yue? Did you make a date?"

"You called me before I had a chance to say anything, so I had to tell him on QQ."

Qiao Zixuan's tone was a little complaining.

"Then you could have finished talking before coming out," Che Rong said with a smile.

"I was too embarrassed. Forget it, I'll tell him on QQ later," Qiao Zixuan said dejectedly.

As they walked downstairs, a handsome boy with a slicked-back hairstyle stood there, attracting the admiring glances of many passing girls.

"Look, it's Pan Xing, the campus heartthrob from the science class!"

"He's so handsome in person, he really has that K-pop idol vibe."

"If he were in Korea, Pan Xing oppa could debut directly."

Pan Xing, hearing the surrounding discussions, maintained a sunny smile. He was tired of these compliments, so he was quite confident.

Seeing Qiao Zixuan emerge from the teaching building, Pan Xing's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked up to her: "Xuanxuan, I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Let's go home together."

Qiao Zixuan looked at Pan Xing with a calm expression: "Pan Xing, I've told you, don't call me so affectionately. And I'm going home with Che Rong."

"It's fine, we can all go together," Pan Xing shamelessly squeezed in, a smile plastered on his face.

"Xuanxuan, let Pan Xing tag along with us." Che Rong quickly persuaded.

Che Rong was a girl who really liked handsome guys. With Pan Xing accompanying them, she felt quite proud.

Just then, Wang Yue walked down. Seeing the three of them, he smiled and greeted them.

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all three of you."

"Thank you for the mooncakes, class monitor."

After saying that, they left directly.

Pan Xing frowned. He stared at Wang Yue's retreating figure and then asked, "Is that guy Wang Yue? Why does he look different from when we were in our first year?"

Pan Xing and Wang Yue were desk mates in their first year.

They were separated when they chose arts and sciences in their second year, with Wang Yue choosing arts and Pan Xing choosing sciences.

Their time as desk mates wasn't particularly pleasant.

Pan Xing was handsome and often received love letters from senior girls or girls from their own year who came to see him.

Wang Yue considered Pan Xing a friend and often helped those girls deliver love letters or cover for him.

Only later did Wang Yue realize that Pan Xing had never considered them equals. In Pan Xing's eyes, Wang Yue was just his little lackey.

Then, one time, Pan Xing had a falling out with his girlfriend. When Wang Yue tried to console him, Pan Xing berated him.

"Look at yourself. I broke up with her today, and I can get a new girlfriend tomorrow, understand? Don't try to apply your loser theories to me, idiot."

From then on, their relationship was completely severed.

Now, encountering Wang Yue again, even just a fleeting glance, Pan Xing was startled.

This kid had become incredibly handsome, almost on par with himself!

And he just thanked the class monitor for mooncakes?

Could it be that Qiao Zixuan had given him mooncakes?

This was treatment he himself didn't even receive!

Pan Xing felt a surge of jealousy. It was the first time he had felt jealous of another man.

As for Qiao Zixuan, she felt a bit flustered.

Wouldn't Wang Yue misunderstand something?

But if he misunderstood, should she explain?

It didn't seem like they were at that stage.

However, if she didn't explain, would he think she was a bad girl?

Ahhh, this is so annoying.

It's all Pan Xing's fault.

Thinking this, Qiao Zixuan's gaze towards Pan Xing became even more unfriendly.

"Pan Xing, I'll say it again, don't follow me anymore, and don't bother me anymore. I already have someone I like!"

Qiao Zixuan pulled Che Rong and walked away: "Che Che, let's go."

"Has someone you like?"

Pan Xing was stunned for a moment, then his face turned ashen.

He had been pursuing Qiao Zixuan for three months and still hadn't won her over, and now she was telling him she liked someone else?

Who?

Could it be that Wang Yue?

His little lackey from first year?!

"Hahaha."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Pan Xing couldn't help but laugh in rage: "Wang Yue, you think you're worthy of fighting me for a woman? I'll make you realize that the woman I desire, no one can take away from me!"

Pan Xing chased after them again.

He intended to be like a stubborn sticker, clinging to Qiao Zixuan and declaring his claim to other men.

If his previous pursuit of Qiao Zixuan was merely infatuation with her beauty,

then now, Pan Xing had added a layer of jealousy and competition.

His pride wouldn't allow him to lose!

Especially when it came to chasing girls.

"Why are you here again? Have you no shame?"

Seeing Pan Xing catch up again, Qiao Zixuan was fuming.

She was just thinking about how to explain to Wang Yue, and this annoying guy had shown up again.

"Xuanxuan, you said you have someone you like, is it that Wang Yue?"

Pan Xing ignored Qiao Zixuan's words and asked instead.

"What's it to you? Can you stop bothering me?"

Qiao Zixuan couldn't help but swear.

"Xuanxuan, I won't give up on you just because of a temporary rejection. When you like a girl, you naturally have to bother her. Forgive me if my affection bothers you, but I really can't give you up."

Pan Xing said with feigned sincerity.

Che Rong was extremely envious. If only a handsome guy would confess to her like that.

Qiao Zixuan, on the other hand, felt a bit nauseous. She couldn't be bothered to deal with Pan Xing anymore and walked forward in silence.

"Xuanxuan, I don't know what you like about that kid Wang Yue, but I'm telling you, I was his desk mate, and that kid isn't a good person." Pan Xing added.

"You were also desk mates with Wang Yue? Do you have any dirt on him?" Che Rong, smelling gossip, quickly asked.

"Dirt? Plenty."

Seeing someone prompt him, Pan Xing started speaking: "First of all, Wang Yue is petty. When we were desk mates, I took good care of him and always considered him a friend. But he was always spreading rumors about me behind my back. I didn't get angry when I found out, I just sternly told him off a couple of times, and then he cut ties with me.

"After we fell out, I realized that kid's character was really bad. Back then, many girls liked me, perhaps he was jealous. So, every time I got a girlfriend, he would fabricate lies and sow discord between us, making me seem like a scumbag.

"Sigh, we were friends once, and I didn't want to talk about this. But I don't want to see the girl I like being deceived by such a scumbag. I'm only telling you this, and please don't spread it around. Even though we've fallen out, I still hope he can live a better life."
