"This is impossible, I only gave you one of the keys to the classroom," the homeroom teacher said, frowning at him.
Gu Zhihan instinctively retorted, "It wasn’t me."
He had also put a lot of effort and time into the blackboard report; only if he had gone nuts would he destroy his own blackboard report.
"Of course, I believe that," the homeroom teacher was not doubting him, but merely shocked that there was a second key holder in their class.
"Then, have you given the key to anyone else?" the homeroom teacher adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued to investigate.
"No," Gu Zhihan shook his head and then, as if something occurred to him, added with a frown, "But one key was lost."
"I can vouch for that too!" Luo Mengmeng again raised her tiny hand.
"We can vouch for it..."
The other students also raised their hands and spoke up.
"Yesterday, I saw Gu Zhihan looking for the key inside his desk hole."
Upon hearing this, the homeroom teacher immediately confirmed, "It seems the person who stole the key is the same one who sabotaged our class’s blackboard report!"
"Now I’m going to the security office to check the surveillance; you all supervise each other and conduct a search in the class."
After saying that, the homeroom teacher hurriedly ran out.
After exchanging glances, the students in the classroom started rummaging through their backpacks.
Luo Mengmeng was no exception.
"Gu Zhihan, don’t you think this scene looks familiar?" Luo Mengmeng spoke to Gu Zhihan while searching through her own backpack and desk.
Gu Zhihan nodded, "Last time when Belle falsely accused you of stealing her bracelet, the class also conducted a search ."
"Right, when I saw her bracelet in my possession, I was completely shocked," Luo Mengmeng said, recalling the event, with a hint of helplessness, "I hope the key doesn’t end up coming out from my desk..."
Before Luo Mengmeng could finish her sentence, her hand felt something cold in the desk hole.
Luo Mengmeng couldn’t believe her eyes, widened in disbelief, and her fingers quickly felt the object again.
With this touch, her heart instantly turned ice-cold.
It really felt like a key!
Luo Mengmeng’s heart began racing, and she quickly bent down, peeking into the desk hole.
Upon seeing it, her heart sank completely.
It was indeed the classroom key.
Just as Luo Mengmeng was about to take it out, a hand pressed onto her stirring one.
Somehow, Gu Zhihan had also noticed the key in her hand. He bent down, whispering in her ear, "Pretend you saw nothing."
"I didn’t steal this," Luo Mengmeng thought he was accusing her of stealing the key and hurriedly explained, tears nearly falling.
Gu Zhihan gently wiped her tears with his fingertip, "Don’t cry, I know, I believe you."
Setting aside the fact that she also contributed to the blackboard report, even if she hadn’t, he knew she would never do something that was detrimental to others and useless to herself.
"So what do we do with this key?" Luo Mengmeng sniffled, stopping her tears, and gripped the key in her hand with a hint of despair.
She had been framed by someone again!
"Give it to me first." Gu Zhihan’s long fingers snatched the key from her palm and clasped it in his own.
Just then, the homeroom teacher came back from outside. She looked at the students in the class and immediately asked, "How is it? Was the key found in our class?"
