In the afternoon, Lou Xi and Bai Lu went to their Marxist philosophy class; upon entering the classroom, they felt something was off about the atmosphere.
Once they settled into their seats, the chatter around them seemed to grow louder, with some people directly pointing at Lou Xi with their phones.
Marxist philosophy is a large class, with students not only from their Business School but also from other schools.
Although Lou Xi is well-known as the beauty of the Business School, her fame isn’t to the extent that other departments would know her.
"What’s going on with them... Why are they all staring at me?" Lou Xi touched her face, finding nothing strange there. "Could it be some mischief from Zhou Zichen and the others again?"
"No idea, but it doesn’t rule out that they’re bored and trying to stir up trouble."
"But... it doesn’t seem like it." With a sideways glance, Lou Xi saw the girl in front was flipping through pictures on her phone, where Lou Xi was shocked to see her own face!
If it were just regular photos, it would be fine, but the key issue is!
Those photos were unsightly!
Lou Xi sprang up from her chair, leaned forward, and snatched the phone from the girl’s hand.
Due to this movement, everyone in the classroom was focused on her, and the chatter grew louder.
"Who would’ve thought Lou Xi is that kind of person."
"Appearances can be deceiving, and you can’t measure the ocean with a bucket."
The comments got uglier, and Bai Lu slapped her book on the desk, "What nonsense are you spewing! Clean up your mouths, or sanitize them with disinfectant!"
After Bai Lu shouted, she turned to look at Lou Xi, noticing her pale complexion.
Following Lou Xi’s gaze, she saw the indecent image on the phone screen.
"Xixi..." Bai Lu’s voice trembled as she called out to Lou Xi.
"Help me get an excuse from the teacher, I need to step out for a bit." Lou Xi returned the phone to the girl, grabbed her bag, and headed for the door.
The whole classroom was in an uproar; was Lou Xi leaving because her secret was exposed and she couldn’t face people?
Just as Lou Xi reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around to face everyone in the room, her expression showing no sign of backing down.
With a crisp yet firm voice, she said, "If I say the photos are fake, you won’t believe it; if I stay silent, you’ll think I’m guilty. Tough crowd to please. Oh well, then I won’t bother pleasing you. Think whatever you want."
With that said, Lou Xi left the classroom with her backpack, cool as ever.
The result was that the classroom exploded with chatter.
"Amazing, bro, Lou Xi’s quite fierce!" A guy commented.
"Still not losing out!"
...
Lou Xi knew who the school’s Post Bar Moderator was. She dashed through two teaching buildings and found Luo Yecheng.
"Senior, please delete that post!" She furrowed her brows, a blush coloring her fair face, still panting from the hurried run.
An ambiguous gaze was fixed on Lou Xi, unabashedly showing his teasing.
"It’s a time of free speech; I have no reason to delete posts for no good cause, right?"
Lou Xi was about to explode; she slammed her book on Luo Yecheng’s desk, "These posts seriously defame my reputation! As the Post Bar Moderator, can’t you see this was intended to frame me? If you don’t delete them, I’ll go to the academic office and talk to the director now!"
