Chapter 162: Chapter 144: [Misunderstandings, Grievances]_2

It seemed that Wang Di was afraid that Situ Ruoshui would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "I originally planned to give this to you during the performance, but I was afraid I might not dare to go on stage, so I gave it to you in advance. I hope you won’t disdain it."

As his words fell, Wang Di handed the flowers to Situ Ruoshui with both hands.

"Thank you."

Seeing Wang Di’s nervous expression, Situ Ruoshui understood that rejecting him in public would make him very embarrassed. Besides, Wang Di wasn’t trying to pursue her, so she happily accepted the pink roses.

"Huff~ huff~"

Seeing that Situ Ruoshui had accepted the flowers, Wang Di secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his face breaking into a happy smile as he tried to say something else to Situ Ruoshui.

However—

Before he could speak again, a mocking voice rose, "Hey, Brother Lv, another toad wants to eat swan meat!"

Whoosh!

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone, including Situ Ruoshui and Wang Di, turned their gaze toward the entrance of the auditorium and were shocked to see five young men striding into the hall, walking toward Situ Ruoshui with an air of superiority.

Lu Wen!

In an instant, all eyes turned to Lu Wen, who was walking in the middle.

As the rumored boyfriend of Situ Ruoshui, Lu Wen had neatly trimmed short hair, sharp eyebrows, piercing eyes, a distinct facial structure, and a tall, muscular build. His whole body exuded a masculine aura, coupled with an arrogant demeanor, making him the type of guy girls both fear and adore.

Soon, under everyone’s gaze, Lu Wen, followed by four henchmen, quickly approached Situ Ruoshui and the spectacled man Wang Di.

Under the lights, Lu Wen looked down at the spectacled man Wang Di from a superior position, as if a king inspecting a commoner, his gaze filled with disdain.

"Aren’t you going to scram?"

At the same time, behind Lu Wen, a henchman with a Fuji Mountain hairstyle stepped forward and glared fiercely at Wang Di.

"What... what do you want to do?"

As an introvert, Wang Di was already timid. Intimidated by Lu Wen’s presence and further scared by the young man with the Fuji Mountain hairstyle, his body trembled slightly.

"If I tell you to scram, scram, why all the nonsense?"

The young man with the Fuji Mountain hairstyle glared, threatening, "Or would you prefer we throw you out like trash?"

"Zhang Jianren, what are you doing?" Situ Ruoshui frowned and spoke out.

"Beautiful Ruoshui, I’m just letting certain toads know their place, so they stop fantasizing about eating swan meat," Zhang Jianren said with a smirk, true to his reputation.

"I... I was just admiring Situ Ruoshui and brought her a bouquet of flowers..." Wang Di argued, his face turning red as he heard Zhang Jianren’s humiliating remarks, trying to defend his dignity as a man.

"Enough talk, you have three seconds, disappear!"

Lu Wen turned his head, gave Wang Di a cold glance, and an aura typical of a martial artist emanated from him, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Shocked by Lu Wen’s unequivocal words and feeling the intimidating aura from him, Wang Di’s legs went weak, nearly collapsing.

Seeing Wang Di’s reaction, Lu Wen turned away, a smile spreading across his face as he looked at Situ Ruoshui and said, "Ruoshui, these cheap flowers truly do not match your status."

As his words fell, Lu Wen, without waiting for Situ Ruoshui to reply, reached out, grabbed the pink roses from her hands, and flicked them away like throwing out trash.

"Uh..."

Witnessing this scene, Wang Di trembled with rage, about to say something, but before he could speak, he was dragged away by two of Lu Wen’s henchmen.

"Brother Lv, didn’t I tell you not to hit people anymore? Make them stop!"

Upon seeing this, Situ Ruoshui became anxious. Lu Wen had often interfered and beaten those who confessed to her with flowers. She couldn’t stand it anymore and had specially talked to Lu Wen about it; he had nodded in agreement at the time. However, Lu Wen went back on his word.

"I thought that after last time, these flies wouldn’t dare to bother you anymore, but here comes another one. Don’t worry, they won’t hit him, they’ll just make him leave."

Lu Wen smiled, seeing that Situ Ruoshui seemed a bit angry, he added, "Ruoshui, Uncle Situ asked me to take care of you at school. I don’t want to make him worry."

"Don’t interfere in my affairs anymore!"

Perhaps because Lu Wen had gone a bit too far, Situ Ruoshui was getting angry. "As for my dad, I’ll talk to him."

"Alright, Ruoshui, I promise this is the last time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wen’s expression changed slightly, but he still maintained a smile and said, "Go ahead with your rehearsal. I won’t disturb you."

As his words fell, Lu Wen left without giving Situ Ruoshui a chance to respond.

Watching Lu Wen’s retreating figure, Situ Ruoshui was so anxious she spun around. She wanted to say something but was startled when she saw that all the surrounding students were looking at her again.

This time, the girls’ gazes no longer held envy, jealousy, or hatred but were filled with a bit of disdain, and the boys’ gazes weren’t filled with appreciation or admiration like before but also held a bit of aversion.

"Situ Ruoshui, your boyfriend is way too overbearing, isn’t he?"

"Exactly, it’s just a bouquet of flowers, was it necessary to humiliate someone like that?"

"If you knew your boyfriend was so overbearing, why did you accept the flowers?"

Later, after Lu Wen had left the auditorium, a few girls who couldn’t stand it anymore began to criticize Situ Ruoshui.

Situ Ruoshui, desperate to explain, opened her mouth but everyone kept interrupting, not giving her a chance to explain.

"He’s not my boyfriend!"

After everyone had finished accusing her, Situ Ruoshui, nearly in tears and full of grievances, said, "I just didn’t want to embarrass Wang Di earlier, I didn’t expect him to see it. I didn’t want this to happen..."

"If that’s the case, why didn’t you just say it outright earlier?"

"Exactly, do you think we would believe you?"

Facing Situ Ruoshui’s explanation, some students simply didn’t believe her and even rebuked her severely.

"I..."

Situ Ruoshui furrowed her brows in anger but didn’t know how to explain, as Situ Chen’s overprotectiveness had made her almost incapable of refusing others from a very young age.

"No more excuses, huh?"

"Hey, relying on a pretty face, you and your boyfriend trample on other guys’ self-esteem, aren’t you just too wicked?"

"Exactly, a heart as venomous as a serpent’s!"

Seeing that Situ Ruoshui had nothing to say, almost all the students thought she was lying, and a tide of attacks emerged.

As those malicious words rang in her ears, and she saw those disdainful and angry faces, Situ Ruoshui crouched on the ground, overwhelmed with misery as tears streamed down her face.

Under the lights,

there was no trace of a happy smile on her face anymore, only helplessness and grievance. (To be continued.
