Love So Sweet

690 We are Innocent

Bai Xi Xi followed her homeroom teacher without saying a word. On her way to the teacher’s office, Bai Xi Xi could sense the people around were looking at her. However, she continued to ignore them.

Once this matter was explained, then everyone will know the truth.

Moreover, Bai Xi Xi was not planning to let Jian Chi off easily. Since he dared to spread this rumor, then, he will have to face the consequences.

Teacher Du took Bai Xi Xi to a quiet room and took a seat. She inhaled a long, deep breath before turning to look at Bai Xi Xi for a long time. She did not speak a word for a long time, but instead, Teacher Du was tapping her fingers against the table. Her lips were pursed into a thin line as she seemed to be considering something for a long time.

Bai Xi Xi was an excellent student in school and had never created any problems.

She studied hard, got good results, and loved to help the teachers around.

Therefore, her dating rumor was quite a surprise for every teacher. Of course, many of them did not believe in this rumor. However, since someone said that Bai Xi Xi and Fu Chen were seen acting intimately, Teacher Du had to investigate this matter.

Still, when Teacher Du looked at Bai Xi Xi, she found that she did not know how she should begin to talk to her student about this matter. Moreover, Bai Xi Xi was facing her calmly.

After a long time, the fingers tapping on the table finally stopped.

.....

Teacher Du heaved another long sigh before she finally spoke, “Bai Xi Xi, I’m guessing that you already know the reason I call you over.”

“Teacher Du, I know.”

“Then, what do you have to say about it?” Teacher Du’s tone of voice was gentler upon seeing that Bai Xi Xi was cooperating with her. “I am not accusing you of anything, but Teacher just wanted to know your side of the story first. According to the rumor, you were seen acting intimately with Fu Chen.”

“Teacher Du, is there any evidence to this allegation?”

Teacher Du froze upon hearing her question. “There isn’t...”

“Without any evidence, I can only tell you that this is a slender,” Bai Xi Xi said.

Even though Jian Chi had seen her and Fu Chen walking home together, Jian Chi did not have any evidence that they were together.

She could always tell everyone that her house and Fu Chen’s were not that far. It was not strange for them to walk together on their way home. This was not evidence that they were dating.

Teacher Du also knew that Fu Chen’s house was on her way home. After all, it was Teacher Du who had asked her to deliver some notes to Fu Chen the last time.

Her lips pressed into a thin line. Teacher Du thought that Bai Xi Xi’s words made sense. For a moment, Teacher Du did not know how she should continue.

“Teacher Du, this person who spread this rumor had bad intentions toward me and Fu Chen. This person was trying to ruin our reputation. I hope that you can help me to investigate this matter. This matter should not be taken lightly.”

Teacher Du became speechless.

Initially, she called Bai Xi Xi to the room to ask about the rumor. She did not expect that Bai Xi Xi would suddenly ask her to investigate this matter.

However, she does agree with Bai Xi Xi’s words.

Teacher Du lowered her head as she pondered over this matter. She wondered if she should consult this matter with the headmaster.

Knock! Knock!

The knocking sound on the door snapped her out of her thought. Teacher Du glanced at the door and spoke, “Come in.”

After a brief second, the door was pushed from the outside. Then, a tall boy appeared at the door.

“Teacher Du, someone tells me that you called to see me?” Fu Chen spoke as he peeked into the room.

Seeing that it was Fu Chen, Teacher Du waved her hand at him, motioning the boy to come in.

Fu Chen glanced at Bai Xi Xi who was standing straight in front of Teacher Du. Then, he stood beside her to face their teacher at the same time.

Teacher Du alternated her gaze between the two students. Then, her gaze finally stopped at Fu Chen. “Fu Chen, do you know why did I call you here?”

“Teacher Du, I know. Someone already informed me earlier.”

Fu Chen had just put his bag on his seat when Yan Li, who sat in front of him turned around to inform him about the rumor.

The moment Fu Chen heard the rumor, he could not help but look at Jian Chi. He could guess that the person who had spread this rumor should be Jian Chi.

“Then, what do you have to say about this?” Teacher Du asked.

“Teacher Du, this rumor is untrue,” Fu Chen said. “Class Monitor and I are not in any kind of relationship. We are innocent.”

The homeroom teacher continued to look at her students alternately. Seeing their face made her believe that the rumor was nothing more than a rumor.

Of course, Teacher Du wanted to believe that Bai Xi Xi was not such a student.

After a brief silence, Teacher Du finally nodded. “Alright then. Bai Xi Xi, Fu Chen, I will believe your words and clarify that this was nothing more than a baseless rumor. The two of you don’t have to worry. I will not let the students continue speaking about this rumor.

Fu Chen nodded. “Thank you, Teacher Du.”

Bai Xi Xi continued to stand at her place without moving.

Seeing that Bai Xi Xi did not answer, Teacher Du finally heaved a long breath. “Alright. Bai Xi Xi, I will have this matter investigated. We will find the person who spread the rumor and ask that person to apologize to both of you.

It was only then that Bai Xi Xi was at ease. “Thank you, Teacher Du.”
