Chapter 144: Chapter 143: Caught a Handle

"Shall we follow them to the principal’s office and see what’s actually happening?"

"We’re just bored waiting here anyway."

After a few minutes of silence, someone boldly came up with an idea.

"Is that okay, though? What if we get caught?"

Clearly, there were still some timid ones who didn’t dare to take the risk.

"Are you stupid? The college entrance exam is already over, and as soon as we’re done filling out our preferences today, we can say goodbye to high school. Are you still afraid of being caught?"

"If we get caught, we’ll just say we’re rushing our homeroom teacher to fill out the preferences."

"After all, it’s already past the time they told us to do it."

The one with bigger guts also thought fast, having even a ready excuse in mind.

"Right, let’s do it. I want to see what the principal wanted with Su Mu."

Four Eyes roared, and just like that, the matter was settled.

The boys filed out of the classroom en masse, leaving only a few who were truly faint-hearted, still sitting in their seats without moving.

"Jiang Xinxuan, you’ve got to tell me who took those photos for you."

Seeing that Su Mu and most of the boys had left the classroom.

The girl who had been holding back immediately surrounded Jiang Xinxuan.

"I’ve already said a friend of mine took them."

Jiang Xinxuan, seeing everyone’s eager looks, weakly resorted to her stock excuse.

"That’s impossible, right? Jiang Xinxuan, did you also travel with that friend a few days ago?"

Because, in the end, Jiang Xinxuan had selected a few travel photos she considered the most beautiful and posted them to her social circle.

And it was very obvious that both sets of photos Jiang Xinxuan posted were shot by the same person.

Because the photos were simply too beautiful.

Some were so envious they wished they could find the master photographer through Jiang Xinxuan’s photos.

However, this provided the group of girls with an excellent opening.

Someone who would go traveling with Jiang Xinxuan had to be a very close friend.

If it were just a casual friend, they wouldn’t likely travel together.

Plus, girls have a sixth sense.

All these girls felt that the person who took photos for Jiang Xinxuan must be a boy.

"Jiang Xinxuan, that photography master should be a guy, right? Could it be Su Mu doesn’t know you’ve gone traveling with other guys, so you’re afraid to tell?"

Those sharp, biting words naturally came from Li Feifei.

Originally, Li Feifei didn’t even want to speak to Jiang Xinxuan, too proud to lower herself.

The whole class knew about Li Feifei’s crush on Su Mu.

Li Feifei never denied it.

Unfortunately, Su Mu had chosen Jiang Xinxuan as his girlfriend.

Of course, Li Feifei felt she had lost face in front of Jiang Xinxuan.

But when Li Feifei saw the photos in Jiang Xinxuan’s social circle, her heart itched as well.

In Li Feifei’s eyes, Jiang Xinxuan wasn’t that pretty at all.

It was the photographer who made Jiang Xinxuan look so beautiful.

Li Feifei figured that if that master took a set of photos for her, she’d be ten times prettier than Jiang Xinxuan.

Li Feifei, who had been listening on the side, eager to know the photographer’s name.

Listening to Jiang Xinxuan’s conversation with others, seemed to suddenly grasp Jiang Xinxuan’s vulnerability.

She walked over with a smug look.

Because of Li Feifei’s words, everyone first paused, then looked at Jiang Xinxuan with meaningful glances.

It seemed there might be some truth to what Li Feifei said.

Otherwise, why would Jiang Xinxuan keep evading, not willing to reveal the photography master’s name?

But isn’t Jiang Xinxuan being a bit too much?

With such a good boyfriend like Su Mu, you still went on a trip with another man?

Everyone seemed to look at Jiang Xinxuan with a hint of blame in their eyes.

"You, Li Feifei, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Faced with Li Feifei’s obvious attempt to slander her, Jiang Xinxuan got furious, her face flushed red.

A girl’s reputation is extremely important.

Especially since most of Jiang Xinxuan’s classmates were young ladies from upper-class society.

If this kind of rumor got out, Jiang Xinxuan’s reputation would be ruined.

Moreover, Jiang Xinxuan’s current identity was Su Mu’s girlfriend, and Li Feifei’s words directly accused Jiang Xinxuan of betraying Su Mu.

How could Jiang Xinxuan tolerate that?

"If it’s not true, then why don’t you dare to say the photographer’s name?"

"Isn’t it clear that you have a guilty conscience?"

Li Feifei felt she had grasped Jiang Xinxuan’s weakness.

At this point, the photographer was secondary.

If it could be proved that Jiang Xinxuan really traveled with another man,

Li Feifei felt she might have a glimmer of hope with Su Mu again.

A man like Su Mu probably wouldn’t tolerate his girlfriend’s "betrayal," right?

"Exactly, Jiang Xinxuan, just say it outright, wouldn’t that settle the matter?"

"Is that photographer so shameful that he cannot be mentioned?"

"Yeah, Jiang Xinxuan, if you’re clear in your heart, just come out with it."

"When Su Mu comes back later and hears about this, he will misunderstand too, won’t he?"

Unlike Li Feifei’s thoughts, others indeed hoped Jiang Xinxuan would clarify things.

On one hand, everyone knew they couldn’t compare to Jiang Xinxuan’s beauty.

Regarding Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan becoming a couple, most harbored more blessings than envy.

After all, even without Jiang Xinxuan, Su Mu wouldn’t have chosen them, right?

Throughout the three years of high school, Jiang Xinxuan had been quite popular.

Despite her School Beauty title and excellent grades, she never looked down on anyone.

Therefore, aside from Li Feifei, everyone quite liked Jiang Xinxuan.

On the other hand, if this opportunity allowed them to coax out the photographer’s name,

those female classmates felt they might have the chance to persuade the photographer to take a beautiful set of pictures for them too.

Jiang Xinxuan bit her lip, looking at the triumphant Li Feifei and other classmates who were full of expectation.

Jiang Xinxuan knew if she didn’t give a reasonable explanation, Li Feifei might invent some unspeakable tales about her.

Reluctantly sighing within, Jiang Xinxuan remembered how she had sworn to Su Mu at the beginning that she would never tell anyone that her beautiful photos were shot by Su Mu.

Who would have thought that in such a short time, Jiang Xinxuan would go back on her word?

Taking a deep breath, it seemed like Jiang Xinxuan had made a significant decision, and she softly parted her lips.

"I went on the trip with Su Mu."

Since Li Feifei kept harping on about which man she had traveled with, Jiang Xinxuan decided to satisfy her curiosity.

Only, this also greatly increased the chances of exposing Su Mu as the photographer everyone was talking about.

As expected

"Jiang Xinxuan, you went on a trip with Su Mu?"

Li Feifei shrieked in disbelief.

"Then what’s there for you to hide?"

As if she couldn’t believe Jiang Xinxuan’s words, Li Feifei questioned her again.

Jiang Xinxuan needn’t have answered, for a girl yelled out loud,

"I know it now, the master who took photos for Jiang Xinxuan is Su Mu."

Everyone turned to look at Jiang Xinxuan, as if waiting for her to give a definite answer.
