The whole classroom seemed to quiet down, as if no one wanted the noise to interfere with the spread of gossip.
The boys were green with envy over what was going on between Lu Mingfei and Zero.
He had once been the most dazzling boy in the classroom—good grades, good looks, good family background. He had once tried to curry favor with Zero, helping her carry books, asking if she wanted to go to the cafeteria with him, and using his most magnetic voice to say things like, "If you need any help, just come find me."
Those tricks had worked on other girls. They had worked on Chen Wenwen. They had not worked on Su Xiaoqiang, but at least she had not slapped him down on the spot.
Instead, Zero had given him an icy, utterly emotionless stare, like the cold wind blowing in from her homeland.
What infuriated Zhao Menghua even more was that Zero had taken an alcohol wipe from her pocket and carefully wiped down the desk he had touched, as though he were some kind of contaminant.
Zhao Menghua had always considered himself the second Chu Zihang. When had he ever suffered such contempt? So he got very angry—angry for a moment.
Meeting Su Xiaoqiang's scrutinizing gaze, Lu Mingfei turned pale in shock. "How did you know?"
Su Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes, utterly speechless. "Everyone knows. Just like everyone knew you used to have a crush on Chen Wenwen."
Not far away, Chen Wenwen was flipping through a foreign literary work. Hearing that, her hand paused slightly before she pretended not to have heard it, though her attention had drifted over there as well.
Lu Mingfei's eyes widened.
Holy shit—so you all already knew back then? I thought it only got exposed in senior year!
