Zhou Yuchen didn't like the feeling of being the center of attention. He lowered his head even more, not knowing where to hide in a panic. He didn't have the excitement that other boys would have when a school belle suddenly sat together with them. He only felt anxious and uneasy.
Yun Liuli looked at Guan Nina in bewilderment. Seeing that almost half of the people in the classroom were looking in her direction, she was also confused.
Hearing the sound of fingernails rubbing against paper, Yun Liuli turned to look at Zhou Yuchen, who had his head lowered very low.
Yun Liuli usually didn't care much about school matters, but Du Yingzi in the dormitory was a gossiper. Every day, she would tirelessly be a carrier of gossip. She would even point out the main characters of the gossip to Yun Liuli.
Yun Liuli had heard about Zhou Yuchen from Du Yingzi before, but when she sat next to him at such a close distance, she didn't smell anything. Instead, she smelled the fragrance of laundry detergent.
Yun Liuli had experienced rumors of personal attacks in middle and high school, so she didn't take it to heart.
Seeing that the professor had already entered the classroom, Yun Liuli sat next to Zhou Yuchen and flipped open her book. She didn't show any signs of moving even though she had seen who the person next to her was.
To Yun Liuli, it didn't matter where she sat.
Guan Nina frowned and took a deep look at Yun Liuli. She then turned and said something to Zhong Qingfei, and the two of them turned their heads away.
Because everyone else maintained a distance of two to three seats from Zhou Yuchen, Yun Liuli and Zhou Yuchen stood out even more after the seats were empty.
The professor looked at Zhou Yuchen and Yun Liuli, feeling a little surprised. He then started the lecture without asking much.
However, the matter of Yun Liuli and Zhou Yuchen sitting together in class blew up on the school's intranet. Someone secretly took a photo of Yun Liuli and Zhou Yuchen and posted it on the school's intranet. Zhou Yuchen became the target of public criticism, and he was attacked until he looked like a sieve.
Everyone asked why Goddess Yun Liuli was sitting together with Zhou Yuchen …
Some people said that Zhou Yuchen was scheming.
He knew that the goddess was soft-hearted and acted pitifully to attract her attention.
Some people said that the goddess passed by Zhou Yuchen's place and he asked if she could sit with him. Seeing that there was no one around, the goddess didn't want to reject him, so she sat with him.
There were even people who directly cursed at Zhou Yuchen, saying that he was worse than a rat in the sewers, and that he was a toad lusting after swan meat.
In any case, there were all sorts of comments on the school's intranet. The netizens used their extraordinary descriptions to describe Yuchen as of Yun Liuli.
During that class, Zhou Yuchen was restless and wanted to move to the side, but he was afraid that his classmate, who was three seats away from him, would be dissatisfied … and cause unnecessary trouble. He could only sit there with his back straight and not say a word.
Yun Liuli's personality was also very antisocial. Antisocial people seemed to be more compatible with each other in terms of aura. For example, Yun Liuli felt more comfortable sitting next to Zhou Yuchen than sitting next to others. This was because Zhou Yuchen was very quiet and wouldn't make any noise that would disturb Yun Liuli. He also wouldn't try to strike up a conversation.
Of. of. of.. of. Yun Yun of Yun of Yuchen...
After class, Zhou Yuchen frantically packed his things and left. Yun Liuli was dragged out of the classroom by Guan Nina …
"What's wrong with you?! Why are you sitting together with Zhou Yuchen? Don't you find Zhou Yuchen smelly? "Guan Nina frowned." You'll make Zhong Qingfei overthink things! "
Yun Liuli looked at the nervous Guan Nina and blinked. "Zhou Yuchen doesn't stink, and I'm not friends with Zhong Qingfei …"
Yun Liuli was very straightforward. Since they weren't even friends, what was there to mind?
"In that case, what Zhong Qingfei said was true. You told Zhong Qingfei … that you weren't even willing to be friends with him?" Guan Nina was in disbelief.
Yun Liuli nodded.
Guan Nina was speechless.
She reached out and poked Yun Liuli's head. "Why are you so stubborn? How can you reject someone like that? You don't even leave any hope for them. Everyone says that we can still be friends, but you're blocking all paths!"
"But I don't like it! Why did he leave hope for others?! Isn't this the … that … scumbag girl you guys were talking about? "Yun Liuli asked Guan Nina seriously.
Guan Nina replied, "I'm actually speechless!"
Guan Nina was the warmest lady in the dormitory, and she loved to matchmake others.
After all, Zhong Qingfei's family background wasn't ordinary, and he was considered an influential person in school. Therefore, when Zhong Qingfei expressed his desire to chase after Yun Liuli, Guan Nina enthusiastically joined in.
Who would have thought that Yun Liuli wouldn't even take a fancy to Zhong Qingfei?
"Then don't sit together with Zhou Yuchen in the future. What will others think of you?" Guan Nina held Yun Liuli's arm as they walked back to the dormitory. "Oh right, do you know that Ye Yingying has fallen in love with that most handsome guy from the civil faculty? The one who's especially tall and handsome. It's just that his family is a little poor. I heard that he's receiving a poverty subsidy. I feel that this poverty subsidy should be given to Zhou Yuchen. Look at Zhou Yuchen, he's only dressed in clothes all year round …"
Guan Nina chattered non-stop on the way back to the dormitory with Yun Liuli. She talked a lot about Zhou Yuchen.
Guan Nina said that no one knew about Zhou Yuchen's family in the beginning. He didn't like to talk, and he would only reply once out of ten questions. He didn't live in school either, and it was said that it was because he was poor that he couldn't afford to pay for his accommodation. It just so happened that his home was in the city, so he took the bus to and from school every day.
One time, a student from school happened to bump into Zhou Yuchen while taking the bus. He discovered that Zhou Yuchen had gotten off the bus in the slums, so he got off the bus as well out of curiosity. He saw Zhou Yuchen walking into the slums, even taking a photo and posting it on the school's intranet. By the next day, the entire school knew which slums Zhou Yuchen lived in …
Later on, Zhou Yuchen was always dressed the same, and the rumor that he didn't change his clothes was gradually verified. It was unknown whether it was because they could really smell the stench from Zhou Yuchen's body, or if it was a psychological effect, but everyone was unwilling to talk to Zhou Yuchen in the beginning. Gradually, they would walk around him whenever they saw him, maintaining a distance of at least two meters from him.
Later on, everyone started bullying Zhou Yuchen.
As Yun Liuli listened to Guan Nina talk about Zhou Yuchen's story, she thought of herself when she was in middle and high school.
Back then, Yun Liuli was also a loner, and the rumors and slanders were extremely nasty. In the end, she was implicated in school violence and was bullied every day.
Perhaps it was because Gu Qingcheng had said that he hoped Yun Liuli could live a normal life when she first entered school …
