Chapter 179: Rumors Abound
That morning, Gu Fan entered the classroom, and was immediately met with many strange looks. This left him quite confused, wondering what was up.
When Gu Fan bravely withstood the collective stare and reached Lu Yi, Lu Yi shook his head in pity, his face filled with sympathy. This further confused Gu Fan, leading him to ask: "What’s going on? Is there something on my face?"
"Not on your face; you just didn’t hear about the new rumor," Lu Yi replied with apparent sympathy.
"New rumors? What is it this time?" Gu Fan felt a pang of panic. Lin Xi had asked him to resolve the previous rumor, but he hadn’t thought of any solution yet. Unexpectedly, a new rumor had emerged, seemingly involving him. It was one wave after another.
Lu Yi explained: "Last night, a lot of people saw a top-notch luxury car parked in front of the school gate. Guess who was seen walking out of that car?"
"Don’t tell me it was Lin Xi!" Gu Fan was a bit stunned, and it didn’t sound good.
Lu Yi nodded: "Yes, it was Lin Xi. So, the rumor is that Lin Xi is being kept by a rich second generation, and you are the one who’s actually been dumped. You get it now?"
"Ah, such a plot twist! Do those who spread and believe in such rumors have brains?" Gu Fan was a bit choked. He had been dating Leng Le, which led to the rumor that he had dumped Lin Xi. But Lin Xi getting out of a luxury car led to the rumor that Lin Xi had dumped him. How could such contradictory rumors coexist, and how could people believe them?
Later on, Gu Fan realized that the credibility of the rumor didn’t matter. What mattered was the entertainment it brought to everyone. After all, why not have a little fun? Simply put, the rubbernecking crowd didn’t care about right or wrong, they just wanted excitement.
However, the rumor exerted considerable pressure on Gu Fan. So, when classes were over, he rushed to the dance practice room, where he saw Lin Xi practicing alone.
Seeing Gu Fan run in huffing and puffing, Lin Xi looked surprised: "What brings you here? If you need something, I’m sorry, but our dance club is full. Also, I’ve never thought you have any talent for dancing."
