Senior, wrong!

Chapter 7 Forum Storm
When Ye Taotao returned home, she happened to meet Ye Jiaze who was going out to school.

Seeing Ye Taotao who suddenly appeared, Ye Jiaze was very surprised: "Why are you back? Are there no classes tomorrow?"

"I left my ID card at home, so I asked for leave and came back to get it."

"That's not necessary..." Ye Jiaze stood aside and watched Ye Taotao change her shoes, his gaze inadvertently fell on the tennis bag behind her, and he couldn't help squinting, "Have you two developed to that level yet?"

Ye Taotao didn't react, and replied casually: "Ah? What?"

"Even the racket is safe for you to take back." Ye Jiaze's tone was inexplicably unhappy.

The action of untying the shoelaces paused, Ye Taotao turned her head to look at him, her face blushed, "Jiaze, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Where am I talking nonsense?" Ye Jiaze pointed to the tennis bag on Ye Taotao's back, and then put his hands behind his head, "Isn't that tennis bag behind you the evidence?"

Ye Taotao explained helplessly: "A classmate accidentally left it in the car. I just kept it for him temporarily, and I will return it to him when I go back tomorrow."

"Really? Are you so kind, Taotao?" Ye Jiaze was very skeptical.He carefully observed the expression on Ye Taotao's face, trying to see a clue from her face.But to his disappointment, he found nothing.

"I've always been kind." Ye Taotao didn't feel guilty at all when answering this question.

Of course, the premise is that this kind of "kindness" must be used in the right place.

Ye Taotao didn't say the last sentence, she didn't intend to continue writing with Ye Jiaze, she pulled the slipped tennis bag strap back to her shoulder, and walked past him into the room.

But I didn't expect such a pull, only to hear a "snap", the unzipped zipper on the tennis bag suddenly released, and the racket fell out of it.

Ye Taotao was about to bend down to pick it up, but Ye Jiaze grabbed the racket on the ground first.

"Jia Ze, you—"

"It's actually a Wilson brand racket!"

Ye Jiaze raised the racket in front of his eyes, and then he was surprised.

Isn't this the racket he's been looking forward to for a long time, but Mother Ye has been refusing to let go of buying him?The thing he dreamed of suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, but that thing did not belong to him. This kind of uncomfortable feeling can be imagined.

Suppressing all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart, Ye Jiaze stuffed the racket back into the tennis bag, pointed to the bottom of the tennis bag and said, "Look, isn't the initial of that person's name written on the end of the handle of the racket?" ? So, Taotao, you still want to lie..."

The place he pointed to had an "L" written in a marker—not the letter X representing Xu Qiyuan's name, but the letter L.

L?Probably... just a coincidence?

"Okay, Jia Ze, return the racket to me quickly. It's bad if you break someone else's racket." Ye Taotao calmly snatched the racket back from his hand and stuffed it back into the tennis bag.

Seeing her cautious movements, Ye Jiaze curled his lips, but didn't say anything.

He adjusted the position of the schoolbag strap, and was about to turn around and go out, but Ye Taotao grabbed the collar and pulled him back.

"Wait, don't go yet."

"What are you doing, Taotao, I have to go to school." Ye Jiaze struggled.

"What did you mean when you said, 'Have you two grown to that point'?"

The expression on Ye Jiaze's face froze for a moment, and he looked away guiltily: "Don't you know a senior who plays tennis? It's the one I met at your school last time. I thought you were on good terms...don't you?"

Ye Taotao was dubious: "Really?"

"Of course! I'm leaving first, I'm going to be late." Ye Jiaze said something perfunctory, pulled his schoolbag and turned around to leave the door.

Looking at the closed door, a trace of doubt flashed across Ye Taotao's eyebrows.She always felt that her younger brother's recent speech and behavior were a little weird.

But doubts belong to doubts, and business matters.Ye Taotao found her ID card in the drawer of the room, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After copying a few ID cards at a copy shop near her home, she returned to school by car.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door of the dormitory, she was greeted by silence, and the atmosphere was very strange.

The moment Ye Taotao entered the door, Song Linlin and Du Chengcheng cast strange eyes on her at the same time.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked casually as she closed the door behind her back.

"Taotao, did you watch the school's forum this afternoon?" Du Chengcheng and Song Linlin exchanged glances and asked tentatively.

"Forum? What's wrong?"

"You...you should come and have a look yourself." Du Chengcheng said hesitantly, but Song Linlin directly opened a webpage and asked her to go and have a look.

Ye Taotao put down her tennis bag in bewilderment, and moved over.

The watering section of the A big forum exploded.

—— "A certain girl in August [-] School who makes people's three views shattered"

This post has been floating, and the irrigation plate remains high in the top three positions.Ye Taotao glanced at the time, the post was posted at two o'clock in the afternoon, and within a few hours, it had already been tagged "HOT".

When I clicked on the post, there was such an indignant sentence at the beginning——

The content of this building is by no means fictional, and there are pictures to prove it!Let me explain first that the host has never dealt with this girl, and it is impossible to have any personal grievances or the like.It's just that what she did is really... obvious to all. In short, even the host and passers-by can't stand it anymore!
This girl can be regarded as a famous person, not because she is very beautiful, but because she got involved with a certain male god inexplicably as soon as she entered the school.At that time, the host knew about these things and just wentssiped and watched like everyone else, but he didn't expect what happened next...

At the beginning, I just heard that she seemed... not so sincere to the male god, but I was also dubious, until I saw her flirting with other boys, ambiguous, and then I knew what she was like goods!
A few photos taken with mobile phones were posted after the text of the main building, which can be described as "mountain of ironclad evidence".

There are photos of her looking at Xu Qiyuan who is lying in the school infirmary with concern; there are photos of her and Ling Yan walking side by side;

Of course, I don't know if it was because of the light or other reasons, Ling Yan looked at her with a particularly "lonely" look.

If you look at it from the perspective of a bystander, it is indeed enough to cause anyone who sees this post to spurn the protagonist—provided that the protagonist of the photo is not herself!
[Floor 1] Player: The sofa is mine!

[2F] Location: Floor!

[Floor 3] Large trucks: Leave your name before the fire!

The comments at the beginning were just meaningless content, and it was not until the tenth floor that some meaningful remarks appeared.

[Floor 18] Qingyu Mayfair: Damn, I'm a god!What happened!
[19th floor] yoyo: What happened recently?Why does the male god have problems one after another?
[Floor 26] Kidney Bean: Ling Yan is so pitiful!How did you meet this kind of woman!

[Floor 27] Sakya Temple Miao: Does anyone know Ling Yan, let him see the true face of this kind of woman and don't be fooled again!

[Floor 28] Liuliying: Ahhh, isn't it? ? ?My little angel Xu Qiyuan!Let go of that little angel!
Ye Taotao's hand for sliding the content of the post was a little stiff, but her expression quickly recovered, and she returned the position to Song Linlin.

"It's just talking nonsense with your eyes open! It's too much! Taotao, have you offended someone recently?" Compared to Ye Taotao herself, Du Chengcheng looked very angry.

"Anyway, it's not true..." It is undeniable that Ye Taotao felt a little uncomfortable the moment she saw it.But think about it carefully, these people don't understand themselves at all, why should they care about these insignificant opinions?
"It must have been done by Mo Fengling!" After thinking carefully, Du Chengcheng suddenly said firmly.

"Mo Fengling?" Ye Taotao was taken aback for a moment, staring at the slanderous words on the screen thoughtfully.

"That's right, she is the only person you have offended," Du Chengcheng said firmly, "Besides... she does have this motive!"

Du Chengcheng was already eagerly planning how to find out who she believed to be the mastermind behind the scenes, but unexpectedly, the seriousness on Ye Taotao's face disappeared, replaced by a look of indifference, "So what?" She said indifferently.

"You're... pampering and nurturing traitors!" Du Chengcheng was greatly disappointed by her reaction, and he couldn't help saying with hatred.

"I heard that the teachers in our school will also pay attention to the gossip on the forum. Maybe they will get credits if they are impressed!" Song Linlin who was on the side suddenly interjected.

Ye Taotao murmured: "Well... then should I go up and blackmail myself?"

Du Chengcheng lifted the table: "Hey, I'm serious!"

Although the parties were very uncooperative, it could not calm Du Chengcheng's blood surging at this time.

She sat back at the computer, logged on to QQ, and clicked on someone's profile picture: Xiao Ruizi, are you there?Help me check the IP of these floors.

After a while, Du Chengcheng, who got the query result, smiled happily: "It really is what I thought!"

Immediately afterwards, she opened the forum post, using the mouse and keyboard together, and the operation was so fast that it was dizzying.

In fact, she just did a very simple thing—following posts in the already tall downstairs building in a soy sauce tone.

[Floor 160] Chengzi Mengmeng: Landlord, before that, can you explain what is going on with the IPs of these floors? [Picture] And your photo I checked with a friend, it seems that there are traces of PS?
As soon as this floor came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

The attention of those who were still watching the post was quickly diverted.

[Floor 167] Little Daisy: No wonder I always feel that there is something wrong when I look at those photos, so they are from PS?

[Floor 168] Zisong: What's going on?Big reversal?
[F169] Hole puncher: Hehe, it’s better to save the whitewashing.Even if Ye Taotao has nothing to do with that first-year freshman, she is a person who always abandons the male god. This is something that the whole school has witnessed, so it can't be fake, right?

Because of Du Chengcheng's reply, the people in the post gradually divided into two factions. One side doubted the poster's motives, while the other firmly supported the poster. In the end, it even developed into mutual pinching.

"It's done!" Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Du Chengcheng closed the webpage in satisfaction, and didn't care about the follow-up of the post.

Meanwhile, in the boys' dormitory.

After browsing the post that Cheng Rui just sent over, Ling Yan turned his attention to Lian Chenghao who was aside: "Cheng Hao, can you find out who posted the post on the school forum?"

Lian Chenghao paused holding the pen, and met Ling Yan's gaze in surprise, as if surprised that he would pay attention to such posts.

"Let me try." Putting away those complicated thoughts, Lian Chenghao turned back to the computer, took the mouse and keyboard and started to operate.

The roommate who was watching an American drama on the opposite bed couldn't help but turned his head and looked at Ling Yan with meaningful eyes when he heard the conversation between the two: "A Yan, that school girl you are so nervous about, could it be that those rumors before are all true? real?"

Ling Yan smiled noncommittally, but the smile obviously didn't reach his eyes.

Regardless of the outcome of the debate on the forum, Ye Taotao didn't pay attention anymore, but later heard Song Linlin mention it occasionally, and the post was finally blocked by the administrator with the reason of "false information".

There was no class the next morning, so Ye Taotao went to the library to study early as usual, and when it was almost noon, she received a text message.

Click to open it—it was a text message from Li Qingyan, the president of the drama club, to the effect that she needed urgent help and asked if she was free now.

Just as Ye Taotao replied to Li Qingyan's text message, there was a call.She hurried out of the library to answer the phone.

"Taotao, where are you now? Can you help me go to the art gallery and get back the props from the drama club?" At this moment, Li Qingyan sounded anxious, and before Ye Taotao could open her mouth, she said her purpose like a cannonball.

"Museum? Why do you need to go to an art museum?" Ye Taotao asked in surprise.

Speaking of this, Li Qingyan was full of complaints: "I clearly sent them to the drama club, but I don't know what happened to them, but they were sent to the art museum..."

"So it is."

"I can't find anyone for the time being, so I'll leave those props to you. There is still a meeting at the Social Council, so I'll go there first."

"Okay, no problem! Guaranteed to complete the task, senior sister, don't worry!"

After hanging up the phone, Ye Taotao went to the art museum alone.

It seems that the art gallery of the school is about to hold a painting competition, and there are eye-catching posters posted in front of the door.And the members of the art club are setting up the venue inside, busy.

But what Ye Taotao didn't expect was that in the art museum, she met someone she would never expect.

When she saw those familiar black eyes, she thought her eyes were hallucinating.

"Ye Xuemei?" It wasn't until a smiling voice sounded in her ears that she realized that it was not an illusion, but a real existence.

But Ye Taotao was still very surprised to meet Ling Yan here.

"Senior Ling?" Ye Taotao came back to her senses, and there was a bit of surprise in her eyes reflecting his figure.

Well, it seems that the frequency of encountering him recently is not usually high.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." Ling Yan said what Ye Taotao also wanted to say, the corners of his lips curved, and a warm smile spread in his dark eyes, "Sister Xue is also here Signed up for the drawing competition?"

"Uh, no, actually I..."

But she didn't finish her sentence.

At this moment, there was only a "pop", and the lights went out, and the whole art gallery was suddenly plunged into darkness.

Inside the museum, it was pitch black.

Even the sound of the music disappeared, and there was a moment of dead silence.

In the next second, everyone was in an uproar.

The students who were decorating the art gallery began to whisper, and the uneasiness and agitation in the art gallery became more and more obvious.

"What happened?"

"Why did the power go out suddenly? Is there something wrong with the school's circuit?"

The sudden darkness enveloped Ye Taotao's vision, and her thinking was interrupted the moment the light went out.

But she soon came to her senses, knowing that there was a power outage, she couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

The blackout was too sudden and too coincidental.

It seems that every time she meets Ling Yan, something unlucky will happen...

There is darkness in front of my eyes, and in the vast darkness, I can't see where the direction is.

Ye Taotao didn't panic, she stood still, waiting for the moment when the call came again.She is not afraid of the dark. On weekends, she often watches ghost stories and ghost movies in a darkened room, which strengthens her courage.

However, in the darkness where you can't reach your fingers, the people in the art gallery obviously began to panic.

In the dark, someone stepped on Ye Taotao's foot, in order to avoid it, she subconsciously took a step back, but she didn't want to bump into another person.

"Ah! I'm sorry..."

Just as she was about to dodge, the man held her hand at this moment, and the warm touch of her fingers made Ye Taotao feel like being electrocuted, and her whole body froze in place.

Although she was not afraid of the dark, the palm that wrapped her was wide and warm, and a familiar warmth came from the palm, like a trickle, pouring into her heart little by little.She was a bit ambiguous and uncomfortable, but it had to be said that that broad palm was exceptionally warm, sending out a gentle force like a spring breeze, driving away all the coldness and emptiness in the darkness.

But who is pulling her?
The surrounding area was pitch black, and it was impossible to see any people or things clearly, so Ye Taotao couldn't recognize the person in front of her.

"Senior Ling?" She asked tentatively.

"……it's me."

There was some hesitation in the familiar voice, and at the same time, instead of letting go of Ye Taotao's hand, he tightened it slightly.

Ye Taotao's first reaction was surprise, Ling Yan would take her hand?

The second reaction, is this her illusion?Or is she hallucinating?

The third reaction, could it be... is he afraid of the dark?

This thought flashed through Ye Taotao's mind, but she was dubious.Ling Yan usually looks gentle but does not lose his aura, he has a leader's demeanor... He doesn't look like a person who is afraid of the dark.

With doubts and fear of hurting Ling Yan's self-esteem, she tentatively asked again: "Senior, are you... afraid of the dark?"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Taotao could feel that the hand holding her was visibly stiff, which made her more sure of her thoughts.

It's unbelievable that seniors are also afraid of the dark.

Ye Taotao, who knew it in her heart, didn't struggle anymore, but let Ling Yan hold her hand tightly.

The two were relatively speechless, silent for a while, and just stood there quietly, but the warmth flowed silently through the two hands holding each other.

Ye Taotao was a little distracted. Amidst the noisy voices, she felt that she could hear Ling Yan's breathing clearly. It was not as calm and even as usual, and this time the sound was a bit deep.

They maintained this state, and after a few seconds that seemed as long as centuries, the eyes suddenly brightened, and the darkness was replaced by light. ..."

When Ye Taotao came back to her senses, she met Ling Yan's eyes, and a pair of black eyes came into view.

At that moment, time seemed to be completely still, frozen in this picture.At this moment, they only have each other in their eyes.

Ling Yan's gaze was deep and elusive, his gaze wandered, and the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth was familiar yet unfamiliar.

The graceful and soft music sounded again, and soon the museum returned to the comfortable and quiet atmosphere before the lights were turned off.

"...Senior?"

"Feel sorry."

As if Ling Yan had just woken up, he let go of his hand.

Withdrawing her hand from his palm, Ye Taotao looked away in embarrassment.

The two were speechless for a moment, and the atmosphere in the relatively quiet art gallery was a little delicate.

Ye Taotao naturally felt the embarrassment of the atmosphere, she wondered if she should say something to ease the embarrassment now.

A few seconds later, she looked up: "Senior, what happened just now... I will keep it a secret."

"Okay." Ling Yan naturally skipped the topic, "By the way, junior girl, I just heard from you that you came to the art museum for?"

"Ah, by the way, I'm here to carry the props used by the drama club..."

"Props?"

"That's right, this is it..." According to Li Qingyan's description, Ye Taotao quickly found a box containing drama props in the place where the sundries were piled up in the art museum.

But the box was too big, and holding it in her arms would block her view, and she couldn't see the way at all.

"Let me take it back for you." Seeing this, Ling Yan stepped forward and took the box from Ye Taotao.

Ye Taotao was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to decline: "Senior, don't bother you—"

Ling Yan interrupted her with a smile: "No trouble, just treat it as...you keep it secret for me."

Hearing what he said, it was hard for Ye Taotao to refuse.

The two seemed to be tacitly aware that the other party didn't say a word about shaking hands when the power went out, and they both avoided the topic just now in a tacit understanding.

After leaving the art museum, Ye Taotao realized a very serious problem: Ling Yan walked with her, if people who don't know the truth see...

Fortunately, it was noon, and there were not many people walking on the school road.It's just that the rate of turning heads caused by the two walking side by side is still very high. Along the way, from time to time, surprised eyes cast on the two of them.

For some reason, Ye Taotao inexplicably remembered that post on the school forum.

Should I apologize to him?Thinking of this, Ye Taotao subconsciously raised her head to look at Ling Yan, but when her eyes fell on the side of his face, she didn't have the courage to speak.

As if aware of Ye Taotao's gaze, Ling Yan turned his head slightly and asked, "Sister, what's the matter?"

"No, it's nothing." Ye Taotao's face was a little hot, and she quickly looked away, but she was a little puzzled.

Why did she see a trace of disappointment in his eyes when she answered?
Is it her delusion?
