Chapter Fourteen Rumors

  Xiao Yan arrived at school and went straight to the classroom. The classroom was empty, as everyone was in the cafeteria for lunch during the noon break. Xiao Yan put down her bag and headed downstairs to the cafeteria as well.

  As I walked into the cafeteria, the sounds of chatter, laughter and clinking dishes filled my ears. Ye Chen immediately caught sight of Xiao Yan's figure, and his previously dull eyes sparkled as he waved at her. Xiao Yan walked over to him, and seeing the full plate of food in front of her, her smile grew even brighter.

  Yan Xi was chatting and laughing with a group of female classmates, discussing gossip and having a great time. This lovely scene happened to catch the attention of someone who couldn't take her eyes off Ye Chen, and it made her extremely unhappy, so much so that her clenched fists were shaking with anger. Just when Xiaoyan had disappeared for a few days, which was originally the best opportunity for Ye Chen to get close to him, who would have thought that Ye Chen's heart had flown away with Xiaoyan? During lunch breaks and after school, he wouldn't be seen anywhere, and even during class changes, he wouldn't bother to acknowledge her, without any expression. Now that Xiaoyan was back, it was as if she had been revived! Wasn't she good enough compared to Xiaoyan?!

  Yan Xi thought for a moment, gritting his teeth in anger, but suddenly an idea struck him. He smiled wryly and suppressed the anger and jealousy in his heart, replacing it with a smile on his face. He turned to the girl beside him who was still chatting and laughing:

  "Hey, do you guys know why I'm not with Tong Xiaoyan anymore?"

  "Isn't it because she didn't come to school?" said Girl A, with several classmates echoing in agreement.

  "Not at all, you guys, do you know what 'extreme yin spirit' is?" Yan Xi asked them again, calculating in her heart.

  "What's that?" "Sounds really strange!" Several girls came over and asked curiously.

  Yan Xi stretched out his hand and gestured for them to come closer, then mysteriously whispered to them:

  "That day, Xiaoyan's mom asked me to go keep her company, saying that Xiaoyan wasn't sleeping well. I didn't think much of it and went over. That night, I slept at Xiaoyan's house with her. Do you know what I encountered? I ran into a ghost! And almost got strangled to death.

  The next day, I brought a feng shui master to check out the energy in Xiaoyan's home. Guess what the master said? The master said that Xiaoyan is a person with a extremely yin body and spirit. People close to her... lightly... will suffer poverty and illness for their whole lives. Heavily... heavily... oh dear..."

  At the critical moment, Yan Xi deliberately kept them in suspense. The girls' hearts were already on their tongues as they asked anxiously: "What's going to happen? What will happen if it's serious?! Yan Xi, hurry up and say something!"

  "This is heavy... There will be a disaster soon! That day I almost got strangled to death was an omen!" Yan Xi said, patting his own chest, still looking like he hadn't recovered from the shock.

  "How terrifying! No wonder Xiaoyan always looks like she's seen a ghost!"

  "Yes, yes! Always having a gloomy face every day, must be haunted by ghosts every night!"

  "How scary! Fortunately, I didn't get close to her. Yanxi, you must be more careful and not approach her again!"

  A few girls were chatting left and right, and several timid ones even said they wanted to transfer classes.

  Yanxi is the daughter of the school board, and her words and actions have an unspoken credibility that makes most students put her in a high position, whatever she says is what it is, deeply trusted.

  Yanxi listened to their words, scolding 'stupid pig' in her heart, turned her head to look at Xiaoyan who was eating and laughed loudly, laughing so brightly, so beautifully, so frighteningly.

  Xiao Yan and Ye Chen walked out of the cafeteria side by side after lunch, only to see a few girls who were originally laughing and chatting as they prepared to leave the cafeteria. However, when they saw Xiao Yan, they avoided her from afar, as if they had seen a plague god, with a look of disgust on their faces that was caught by Xiao Yan, leaving her puzzled in her heart.

  The girls behind her were pulling several classmates and whispering something, Xiaoyan couldn't hear, she only knew that countless pairs of eyes were staring at her, and the sense of crisis in her heart rose again.

  Ye Chen pulled Xiao Yan's hand and walked straight to the playground, sitting on the grass beside the track. The soft and warm sunlight shone on them, the sky was so blue, and the wind blew so comfortably.

  Ye Chen also heard the whispers in the cafeteria, looked at Xiao Yan who was staring blankly at the sky with a furrowed brow, and gently rubbed her hair that was blown by the gentle breeze, saying:

  "Don't mind what others say, rumors and gossip are not worth paying attention to."

  "Hmm, I didn't mind it anyway." Xiaoyan turned her head and smiled at Ye Chen.

  Sunny blue sky, green grass gentle breeze, beautiful woman smiles, so intoxicating, infatuated.

  Ye Chen wrapped his arms around Xiao Yan's shoulders, pulling her into his embrace, and stroked her hair.

  "Don't pretend to be strong in front of me."

  Xiao Yan didn't respond, leaving only the sound of the wind surrounding her ears. Ye Chen continued to hold her, unmoving, he really wanted to hold her like this forever, let the person in his arms put down all their guard, and let him protect her, care for her, and take care of her.

  On the second floor platform, a woman clenched her fists and bit her lips hard, suppressing the anger in her heart as she looked at the scene before her. Finally, a faint red trickle flowed from her tender lips, and the bloody taste spread in her mouth. Only then did Yan Xi relax his teeth, wiped away the remaining blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and turned to leave.

  The clenched fist did not loosen, and the hatred in his eyes did not disappear.

  Jealousy drove out all her sanity, filling her innermost being and mind. Next, no one could have predicted what would happen.

  "Xiao Yan, is it only when you die that he will care about me?"
