Chapter 414: 375 Storm

"Where’s Luo Peng?"

Jiang Chen returned to the dorm and found that young master Luo wasn’t there.

Bai Zheli, who was chatting with Li Shao, adjusted his glasses, "Brother Luo was called away by the counselor."

That fast?

"Because of the thing with Teacher Xiang Tian?"

"You know about it too?" Li Shao said, surprised.

Jiang Chen nodded, "The photo didn’t capture anything substantive, so the problem shouldn’t be too serious, right?"

"That depends on what Brother Luo says."

Bai Zheli said, "When the post was first published, Brother Luo didn’t take it seriously, even clapped and cheered, thinking it would bolster his reputation. But then, not long after, the counselor came in person and took him away."

"If Luo Peng denies it, if he doesn’t acknowledge his pursuit, the school is indeed unlikely to impose any punishment, at most a warning, but if he’s stubborn, that’s another story."

Li Shao was indeed still worried.

The post was getting hotter by the minute, pushing Luo Peng and Koda Kaoru into the spotlight. It seemed to be a serious matter, but since there was no substantial evidence, it was impossible to judge the nature of the issue at the moment.

As long as Luo Peng denied and casually gave a reason, like he was only friends with Koda Kaoru, he could make a big issue small, a small issue gone.

But if he did that, it would undoubtedly mean he would have no further association with this tempting teacher.

The key point is.

Was he willing to give up?

"Brother Luo wouldn’t be that foolish, right? He’s about to graduate, and if he gets a disciplinary record now, it would be troublesome."

Li Shao shook his head, "Your Brother Luo is a ladies’ man, who knows for sure."

It wasn’t until sunset that Luo Peng returned.

When he entered the door, Jiang Chen and the others immediately observed his state.

He didn’t look distraught, but he seemed somewhat dejected.

"Brother Luo, are you okay?"

Bai Zheli asked tentatively.

Luo Peng heaved a deep sigh, slumped into the chair powerlessly, and gazed at the twilight outside the balcony.

"Disturbed by dreams of my hometown at night, in the small window, right at dressing time."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but laugh, "Cut it out, you don’t have the temperament for melancholy, tell us, what actually happened?"

"What else could it be, the school leadership got involved."

"The school isn’t really going to punish you, is it?"

Li Shao said with concern.

Luo Peng shook his head.

"Brother Luo, you didn’t admit it?"

"Why should I admit it? If I did, wouldn’t I be harming Teacher Xiang Tian?"

Luo Peng said with emphasis, "To like is to be willful, to love is to restrain. If I admitted it, at worst I’d get a disciplinary record, but she would lose her job and her future because of it. I can’t be so selfish."

Bai Zheli and Li Shao fell silent.

"How noble."

Jiang Chen exclaimed.

"Damn, if I find out who that fucking poster is, I swear I’ll break him!"

Luo Peng cursed through clenched teeth.

"Yeah, who would do such a pointless thing?"

Bai Zheli also found it incomprehensible.

Luo Peng took out his phone and began to make calls, utilizing his connections at school to investigate the person behind the anonymous post.

Meanwhile.

He also posted a "statement" on the forum as requested by the school, emphasizing that his relationship with Koda Kaoru had not exceeded the bounds of teacher and student, and asking everyone not to jump to conclusions.

It seemed like the storm was over just like that, but perhaps the instigator, savoring the drama, wasn’t willing to let the matter drop so easily. After Luo Peng’s clarification, there was a follow-up explosive revelation,

This was far more sensational than the tame clandestine photographs from before.

The latest explosive material was several videos.

To be precise, footage from the school’s swimming pool surveillance cameras.

The female lead was the same, still Koda Kaoru, but the male lead was no longer just young master Luo.

One stone stirred up a thousand ripples.

But by the time some people heard the news and rushed to enjoy the video, the post had already been deleted.

And the poster’s ID had also been banned.

Clearly, the school had intervened.

However, trying to silence the public is tougher than stopping a flood; the post might have been deleted, but inevitably, some people had saved the video and it began to circulate privately, resulting in Li Shuru receiving many peculiar looks when she went to arts college the next day for classes.

"Shu Rui, I think this is someone acting out of jealousy, deliberately spreading rumors. First Luo Peng, now Jiang Chen, it’s obviously premeditated."

Xu Siyi seemed to offer an objective analysis, but in actuality, she likely had a bias in favor of Jiang Chen.

After all, they had seen the video too.

Indeed.

—Quite erotic.

"It’s definitely deliberate, but those videos are real, aren’t they?"

Zheng Jingjing stood on a position of absolute neutrality, "I saw Luo Peng being secretly filmed while eating yesterday, and he didn’t show any reaction at all. He really has nerves of steel; his acting skills are just too good."

Guo Ran nudged her arm.

"Why are you pushing me?"

"Say less."

Guo Ran whispered.

With such an incident happening, Shu Rui naturally wasn’t feeling great. Why keep pouring salt on her wounds?

Zheng Jingjing had little respect for this ostrich-like behavior; she could keep quiet, but could she silence the incessant gossip of the school?

"Men are all pigs!"

Compared to others, Li Shuru, the actual girlfriend, appeared quite calm. She didn’t fly into a rage; instead, she spoke lightly in defense of Jiang Chen, "It’s just a misunderstanding, he has already explained it to me. He was just teaching Teacher Xiang Tian how to swim."

Zheng Jingjing and the other girls exchanged silent glances.

Swimming?

Is it necessary to hold each other that tightly for swimming?
