Chapter 83: Flower thief

He then faintly brushed off the dust on his coat.

He adjusted the collar of his jacket, casually dusting it off like nothing happened. Like he didn’t just climb over a wall and almost give her a heart attack.

Lu Qingyan opened her mouth. Closed it.

Honestly, how was she supposed to respond to that?

Still, a duty was a duty.

She took a second to re-center herself and slapped her clipboard against her palm for dramatic effect. Steeling her expression into something vaguely resembling the moral backbone of a school prefect, she waved at the gleaming badge on her chest and declared solemnly, "Classmate, not only are you late, but you also jumped the wall. Your name will have to be recorded."

Very official. Very serious. Very professional.

Wang Jingyuan line of sight swept over the badge on Lu Qingyan’s chest, then glanced at the forms embraced within her arms.

At the same moment, Lu Qingyan’s gaze flickered over his right arm, where bandages were faintly exposed.

Her pupils shrank slightly.

She realized that he was still injured, and the injuries were even from protecting her.

Lu Qingyan immediately felt like the worst kind of person. If she wrote down his name now, wouldn’t that be the equivalent of giving a traffic ticket to someone who pulled you from a burning car?

Revolutionary friendship was on the line here! Morality! Loyalty! Basic decency!

If she still recorded his name, it might possibly affect their newly-found, revolutionary friendship. Plus, it will make her resemble the type of petty person that bites the hand that feeds them.

"...But you’re lucky, because you ran into me." She flipped her hair slightly for effect. "–someone with great empathy and understanding."

Wang Jingyuan raised a brow.

"I’ll let it go this time," she continued, arms crossed. "Don’t do it again."

When Wang Jingyuan heard her say this, he had stretched out his hand to rearrange the hair on his forehead and his eyes were half-closed, making the entire person appear sickly.

When he made an "mhm" sound, even his voice was a little hoarse.

It wasn’t fair. He sounded like a fever dream.

Lu Qingyan wondered, "Seatmate, did you play thief last night?"

Wang Jingyuan’s eyes lazily swept over her as he let out an "ah" sound. Then, he looked her up an down before he finally had some energy.

He teased with deep meaning, "Flower thief."

Lu Qingyan: "..."

To speak truthfully, even real flower thieves weren’t this coquettish.

At this moment, Lu Mingxuan’s flustered and exasperated voice traveled over from afar.

"I told you already, god d*mn it, that Wang Jingyuan originally came at the same time as me! I saw him outside the gate just now! That green tea b*tch was probably waiting for me to climb over the wall first and attract your attention, and then he’ll—"

Lu Qingyan turned her head and saw Wen Mingming dragging Lu Mingxuan over with a face full of disapproval.

She sighed, "Classmate, it’s one thing if you are late and climbed over the wall, but you actually wanted to frame others. This is where you just crossed the line."

Lu Mingxuan rolled his eyes and pointed to Wang Jingyuan, "Look, isn’t that person right there? I bet he had just climbed over the wall."

Wang Jingyuan turned sideways to look at him, his expression gradually turned estranged and indifferent.

"Are you—are you trying to accuse him of climbing the wall?" She gestured at Wang Jingyuan as if that alone disproved Lu Mingxuan’s entire argument. "Wang Jingyuan? That’s Wang Jingyuan!"

Wen Mingming obviously recognized Wang Jingyuan.

What a joke! The student who was known as the God of Study for dominating the first place since the first year of middle school, the student that was the pride of all the teachers, the student that was the role model of all the other students at the Liyang Private School, how could he possibly be someone that would climb over the wall after being late??

Wen Mingming crossed her arms. "You think someone like that would climb walls to avoid tardy slips? Be serious."

Wen Mingming rolled her eyes, "They don’t even know you, yet you want to slander them?"

Lu Mingxuan gnashed his teeth in anger, "I really saw him outside just now!"

Wen Mingming’s expression was gentle, "You saw wrong."

For Lu Mingxuan, it didn’t really matter if his name was recorded and he was disciplined.

The most important thing was that he mustn’t let Wang Jingyuan get such a good bargain[1].

At this moment, Lu Mingxuan’s eyes swept to the side of Wang Jingyuan and finally saw Lu Qingyan, who was standing there.

Although he was still unsure about how to face Lu Qingyan in his heart due to being revolted by the WeChat messages he had drunkenly sent over the weekend, Lu Mingxuan was only conflicted for a short moment before he immediately said, "Lu Qingyan, you tell her, did Wang Jingyuan climb over the wall to come in just now?"

When Lu Mingxuan asked, he originally thought that Lu Qingyan would probably stand on his side.

However, he watched as his sister revealed a look of surprise and said, "Not at all, he came over from the teaching building over there. I have been guarding here the whole time, would I not know if something happened?"

Wen Mingming exposed an expression of "Sure enough, it was like this" before she shook her head at Lu Mingxuan, "You are too naive. Don’t mistake Classmate Xiao Yan kindness for naivety, but she definitely won’t lie to cover for you."

Lu Qingyan repeatedly nodded as she stood off to the side.

Lu Mingxuan: "..."

What the fuck?

Lu Mingxuan stared blankly at the sky.

What kind of potion did this dog-of-a-person Wang Jingyuan give to Lu Qingyan that she would even sell out her own brother??
