“What are you guys talking about?”

Shen Fei walk toward them, wanting to ask about the situation. However, the moment the girls saw him, they revealed looks of derision. They quickened their pace and fled to the other side of the road.

Shen Fei was immediately confused.

‘Do I smell? Why are they hiding from me?’ It was really strange. Shen Fei looked at the girls in front of him in befuddlement. ‘What was wrong with them today?’

Although he had doubts, Shen Fei did not take it to heart. However, along the way, no matter where he passed by, there would be people gathered together, looking at him and whispering.

They even kept looking at him with indescribably strange eyes.

‘What did I do wrong?’ Shen Fei could not help but frown. ‘Why does it feel like everyone in the world is deliberately targeting me today?’ He quickened his pace and ran to the classroom.

Just as he pushed the door open, no matter what the people present were doing, their line of sight immediately concentrated on Shen Fei. Everyone was staring at him with a strange look. Everyone, regardless of gender, was whispering to each other.

“I didn’t expect… People nowadays are so open-minded.”

“Hmph, no matter how open-minded you are! Just look at him, I don’t support him!”

“Me, too. I think he’s too full of himself. Why would I support him? ”

Shen Fei frowned, a ball of fire rose in his heart. ‘What the hell is up with them?!’

“If you have any dissatisfaction, you can say it to my face! Don’t mumble behind my back!”

As soon as he said that, everyone present immediately quieted down. But there was a trace of resentment and hatred in their eyes.

Shen Fei glowered as he looked at everyone.

“Speak up. What are you dissatisfied about? Just say it!”

But even after a long time, no one dared to say a word. In fact, no one was even willing to step forward.

Ever since Shen Fei obtained the title of First Echelon, the number of people who took the initiative to provoke him had decreased a lot.

“Shen Fei.” Lilian sat beside Shen Fei with a complicated expression-which was a rare occurrence her-and asked with red eyes, “I heard that you spent the night with Aloy… Is that true?”

Shen Fei firmly nodded his head. The surrounding people immediately flew into an uproar. Their glares were like daggers.

Lilian’s eyes became redder and she looked sad, as if she was about to cry the next second. “Then… I wish you happiness…”

‘What the hell is this?!’

Shen Fei helplessly laughed and immediately pulled Lilian who was about to leave. In his memory, this childhood friend had always had a good impression of him. However, because of the engagement, she had never expressed her feelings to Shen Fei directly.

“I’m not done yet, don’t be in a hurry to leave.” Shen Fei grabbed Lilian’s tender hands and looked at her swollen eyes with sincerity. “Such a thing did happen, but we are only spent the night together. Other than sleeping, we didn’t do anything else.”

Lilian’s eyes lit up. “What you just said, is it true?”

“Of course! Do you think I would lie to you?”

A bright smile appeared on Lilian’s face. “I believe you! By the way, I have a question that I hope you can answer truthfully.”

Shen Fei sat down. Based on what she said, he already figured that something was wrong.

For example, why was it that everyone seemed to already know about the private matter between him and Aloy? Certainly, when Aloy came to find him in the other day, there was quite a commotion. He wished that half the city would know that Aloy had come to him to propose marriage.

However, staying overnight was something that happened at night. In addition, Aloy did not bring many people with her at that time.

‘How did they find out? She couldn’t have brought a few people to wait at the door in advance and cause trouble, right?’

“I…” Lilian hesitated for a moment before revealing everything to Shen Fei. “I saw people talking about this in the school’s group chat, and there are all kinds of versions, so I thought I should come and ask you…

“This morning, someone took a photo and posted it in the group, saying that he saw Aloy coming out of your house. He even said that she stayed the night at your house. Then, the entire group exploded.

“Although they’ve gone overboard with their cursing, I’ve grown up with you since we were kids. I’ve always felt that you weren’t that kind of person…”

Shen Fei immediately caught the few keywords.

‘There were various versions in the group chat. Have I been slandered?’ Shen Fei smiled bitterly.

He did not do anything that night, and even had insomnia. Then, when he arrived at campus, everyone looked like they wanted to stone him.

‘Injustice! I have been truly slighted!’

Irked, Shen Fei looked at the students in front of him. In turn, everyone in the class, both boys and girls, were glaring at him with hostility.

To be honest, if it were not for the fact that their strength was inferior to Shen Fei’s, they would have already attacked.

“Students, get ready for class.” The homeroom teacher brought the teaching materials to the classroom. The moment the teacher entered, Shen Fei felt a familiar gaze.

Looking at the serious face of the homeroom teacher, Shen Fei twitched the corner of his mouth in annoyance.

He did not expect the homeroom teacher to believe this as well.

“Shen Fei, come find me after class.”

…

After class, the homeroom teacher stood outside the classroom and lectured Shen Fei with heartfelt words. Shen Fei did not say much, he only nodded his head, looking extremely indifferent.

“I don’t find it strange that you could do such a thing. After all, you’re young and full of vigor. But, let me put it this way, Shen Fei, don’t blame me for my harsh words.

“The most important thing for you now is to do your best for the final exam. In that regard, it’s better for you to abstain. If you really do have desires, you have to use your willpower to resist them! If you do it every day, it’ll have a huge impact on your body…”

Shen Fei was stunned when he heard this. He had only slept in the same room as Aloy for one night. They did not do anything, not even hold hands. How did he suddenly become so “experienced” in the eyes of others the next day?

And each one was more excessive than the last!

In the end, in the eyes of others, they would always find a problem with him because of his relationship with Aloy.

‘I can’t let this continue!’

Shen Fei anxiously grabbed the homeroom teacher’s sleeve. “Sir, listen to me! It’s not what you think!”

“Shen Fei! I’m an adult. I understand these things. It’s a normal thing, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”

After saying this, the homeroom teacher patted Shen Fei’s shoulder with a heavy heart.

“You just have to remember to control yourself. Young people shouldn’t overwork themselves. It’s very harmful to the body afterwards.”
