The Vicious Female Supporting Character and the White Lotus Female Lead: Ch 29, Pure Campus Love



​    In the morning between classes, the students headed to the sport fields for a class run. After class, the English teacher asked Nie Zhen'er for something. Nie Zhen'er and Bai Fei excused themselves and followed the teacher to the English office.



If Nie Zhen'er wasn’t here, it would be easier for Luan Qing Xiao to operate later on.



Heading to the sport field and getting place near the end of the Rocket Class, Luan Qing Xiao could see Liu He's movement through the gap from where she stood.



Liu He was a natural at making friends. And after a while, he became quite acquainted with the classmates around him. Many people were having fun and laughing, Bai Fei had a hard time maintaining order several times.



They were all classmates and will be studying in the same class in the future, therefore it wasn’t so easy to fall out, so Bai Fei had to ask the homeroom teacher who had just entered the teaching building for help.



The time Bai Fei was away, Liu He began to spread his rumors.



【Ding! The sixth mandatory plot is coming. Requesting the Host to cooperate! 】



After some jokes, Liu He felt everyone was familiar enough. Suddenly he said in a secret tone, "Although I only arrived at the Rocket Class, I know a juicy new thing about the Rocket Class that you have never heard of."



"What new would we not know?"



"Yeah, go and say it, how could we not know."



"If we heard it, how about you do our homework for us?"



"..."



Liu He's popularity was rather well-spread, so his one word provoked a thousand waves. Liu He hesitated in his heart, and his eyes ‘accidentally’  glanced over to Pei Yi Ruo. The affirmation on Pei Yi Ruo's face filled him up with courage: he’s only doing this to prevent his classmates from being deceived and ensuring the fairness of the exam. There’s no personal selfishness at all.



"You guys lean in a little bit." Liu He waved to the few people around.



Everyone was buried in their studies every day, making them full of interest in what Liu He was about to say. The boys gathered in a circle, with their ears pointed in Liu He's direction.



"Hurry up! It'll be time for our class lap run." Someone couldn't resist urging him.



"Then I’m saying it; someone in our class cheated on the exam!" Liu He said confidently.



Classmate One was expressionless, "I hope you aren’t going to say the person who cheated on the exam was Luan Qing Xiao."



Classmate Two, "Aii, let’s go, let’s go. Boring!"



Classmate Three, "I thought there was some big news, Luan Qing Xiao couldn't have cheated."



Because previously Luan Qing Xiao wasn’t good academically, even though her monthly test results are amazing, after all, she only did so well once, which wasn’t very convincing. Therefore, she became the key subject of the exam supervisor in the last final exam and was constantly stared at. Now, the supervisor wasn’t blind, how could she have a chance to cheat?



"Wait, wait, wait. I'm not talking about Luan Qing Xiao." Liu He quickly stopped the people who were about to disperse.



"You would have never thought it was this person!"



Classmate One frowned and mused about it, "Except for Luan Qing Xiao, the grades in our class are pretty stable. I don't feel like anyone could have cheated."



Others also echoed, "Who is it? Come on, stop holding back." They were all curious.



"Okay, okay. First of all, I promise what I'm going to say is done after reasoning and research. I definitely am not slandering anyone."



Facing a circle of curious eyes, Liu He took a deep breath and announced a name, "Nie Zhen'er."



"?"



"??"



"???"



"Liu He, stop joking. How could Nie Zhen'er have cheated?"



"That’s right. If you are going to lie, at least pick a convincing one. Nie Zhen'er, she’s a true valedictorian!"



"Listen to my reasoning!" Liu He emphasized.



Several others reluctantly said, "If you can't convince us, today's homework will be all yours."



Liu He smiled confidently, "Let me ask you first. Last semester's monthly exam, did Nie Zhen'er go to the dean’s office before finishing her exam because a classmate reported her for cheating?"



"Yes, but she came back later and the school didn't report anything. It must be a misunderstanding."



"A note appeared out of thin air and it jussst happened to fall under her feet. Even if it is not hers, why didn't the school continue to investigate it?"



Classmate Two hesitated, "That's because there was a power outage during the monthly test and there was no monitoring. It was too difficult to identify who."



"Tsk," Liu He smiled, "There was handwriting on the note. With the forty people in the Rocket Class. If they really wanted to trace it, how can they not find it. I heard the dean directly threw the note away, ignoring the only proof. If there is no trickery inside, who will believe it ah."



Liu He's words were conclusive, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. The others were somewhat persuaded.



Yeah, why didn't the dean continue investigating? Was it really to cover Nie Zhen'er?



"Furthermore, do you remember how many points Nie Zhen'er scored before that monthly test?"



Classmate Three, "I know, usually between 680 and 690. Unless the questions was particularly difficult, then her score will be slightly lower."



"Let's not mention her not finishing the essay portion. Do you know how many points she scored in the EOC last time?"



"713, ranked second of our year!"



"That's it. Obviously, her scores have been maintained between 680 and 690 before. How could it suddenly rise by more than 30 points. You must know the higher the score, the harder it was to improve it."



After hearing this, several people nodded in agreement, "Maybe Nie Zhen'er really did cheated?"



"She must have cheated!" Liu He gave the final blow.



On the other side, Luan Qing Xiao stood at the end. Her eyes indifferent and a chilling presence lingered all over her body, making the students all consciously stay away from her.



Pei Yi Ruo walked to her without the fear of death. She smiled and said to Luan Qing Xiao, "Classmate Luan, hello."



Luan Qing Xiao glanced at her and remained silent.



Pei Yi Ruo pouted. She suddenly looked in Liu He's direction, stepped forward and got closer to Luan Qing Xiao, "Classmate Luan, you heard what Liu He said, right?"



Liu He's voice was quite loud, only he didn't recognize this fact. His circle thought they were still spreading gossip in a low voice, but Liu He's volume was enough for everyone in the last to listen in.



"En." Luan Qing Xiao finally gave her a response.



【Ding! Congratulations to Host for completing the task! 】



Pei Yi Ruo beamed brighter when she heard her, "Nie Zhen'er, she..."



"You are not qualified to mention her name." Luan Qing Xiao seemed to contain a sword in her eyes. When she examined Pei Yi Ruo's face, it almost pierced through her false front.



Pei Yi Ruo's face changed since she admired Luan Qing Xiao ever so much. She took so much thought to get rid of the useless Nie Zhen'er, but only were traded for the sentence "You are not qualified to mention her name.” Pei Yi Ruo couldn't accept this.



"She's just a lowly person who cheated on the exam. Classmate Luan, is it worthwhile for you to protect her like this?" Pei Yi Ruo stared at Luan Qing Xiao and gritted her teeth.



"Zhen'er is the kindest and most beautiful person in the world. Naturally it’s worth it."



Pei Yi Ruo didn't understand why Luan Qing Xiao had to defend Nie Zhen'er. She was about to burst into anger and wanted to say something. However, Bai Fei had already returned to class with the homeroom teacher, she could only head back to her position, still thinking how to convince Luan Qing Xiao.



Luan Qing Xiao was the first to return to the classroom after the run. Nie Zhen'er was sitting upright and working on the test paper. Then, she looked up and saw her. Her apricot eyes dimmed, "Qing Xiao, you’re back?"



Luan Qing Xiao nodded. She walked over and held her hand, "Let’s go. Come to the dean office with me."



Nie Zhen'er put down the pen and stood up. She didn't know what Luan Qing Xiao was going to do to the dean office all of a sudden, but she trusted Luan Qing Xiao, so she didn't ask anything and hurriedly followed Luan Qing Xiao to the dean office.



The dean was currently sitting at the desk, watching the monitors of each class. He heard a knock on the door and responded with a "Come in.” Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er came in. As they walked up to the desk, he put down the tea cup in his hand. He gently asked, "Student Luan Qing Xiao and Student Nie Zhen'er, what's the matter?"



Nie Zhen'er peered at Luan Qing Xiao, she still didn't know what was going on.



Luan Qing Xiao requested "Dean, I hope you can thoroughly investigate the paper ball incident that happened during the last semester's monthly exam."



The dean narrowed his eyes, "Why are you mentioning this out of nowhere?"



"Someone was spreading rumors in the class, slandering Nie Zhen'er for cheating and said the school is doing nothing to protect the higher scoring students. I’m counting on you to restore the school and Classmate Nie Zhen'er's innocence."



Now Luan Qing Xiao directed the matter to the school, the dean couldn’t ignore it.



The dean said with a serious expression, “Tell me everything from the beginning to the end."



Luan Qing Xiao explained how Liu He spread the rumors on the sport field and how Pei Yi Ruo was manipulating from behind the scenes before finally cutting to the point, "Last month, it was Pei Yi Ruo who reported that Nie Zhen'er had cheated."



The dean frowned and realized things weren’t simple.



On the other side, the students sparsely returned to the classroom, and gathered in threes and twos discussing Nie Zhen'er's cheating.



Pei Yi Ruo sat in her seat, her smile growing by the second. Although she was dissatisfied with Luan Qing Xiao's distrust. The power of words is terrifying. As long as everyone believed so, sooner or later Luan Qing Xiao would begin to believe in it as well.
