The topic between Alex Xu and Nathan Wang came to an end without any conclusion, but Emily Tang, who was sitting at the table next to Nathan Wang, joined the conversation at this time.

Emily Tang reached out and broke off a piece of crispy noodles from under Nathan Wang's desk, threw it into his mouth and chewed it crunchily, and asked: "What are you talking about? What happened between your girlfriend and Leo Lu?"

Alex Xu: ...

Rumors are not only groundless rumors, but also rumors that are based on hearsay and fabricated out of nothing. Just like Emily Tang now, rumors come out of his mouth at will.

Alex Xu promptly repackaged the rumor and stuffed it back into Emily Tang's mouth, emphasizing, "It's a friend of my deskmate's girlfriend who wants to find out about Leo Lu. Don't just listen to half of it and then talk nonsense."

Emily Tang said "Ah" and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, sorry. But, I heard that Leo Lu has a girlfriend, so your girlfriend's friends should stop thinking about her."

Nathan Wang nodded stupidly, not caring about anything, and said while eating: "Oh, so you have a girlfriend."

When Alex Xu heard this, his eyes lit up immediately and he asked, "Is it true? Are you from our school?"

Emily Tang reached into Nathan Wang's desk again, broke off a piece of crispy noodles and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "No way, he should be from the same school as before. Speaking of which, Leo Lu is so handsome. I heard that his girlfriend's phone was stolen while she was riding the bus. It happened to pass a very long station, so his girlfriend borrowed her girlfriend's phone to call Leo Lu and told him about it. As a result, Leo Lu brought a large group of people in a sports car to surround the bus. It's so handsome, isn't it!?"

Alex Xu asked: "What happens after we stop the bus? Can we really search everyone and get their cell phones back?"

Tang Yuan gave him a blank look: "Is this important? Isn't the point that Leo Lu's deeds are simply amazing?"

Alex Xu: ...

Alex Xu gave up the possibility of arguing with Emily Tang, and had great doubts about the authenticity of Leo Lu's deeds, but he was subjectively more inclined to believe the news that "Leo Lu has a girlfriend".

At this time, an inopportune voice interrupted -

"What are you all talking about? When did Che-ge become so handsome again? Tell me quickly, quickly."

Alex Xu was startled when he turned around.

Ke Di stood behind Alex Xu at some point, holding a water cup in his hand, his eyes sparkling, and he was waiting excitedly for Alex Xu and the others to share some gossip about Leo Lu.

...

Emily Tang raised her black-framed glasses a little awkwardly. She couldn't brag in front of the protagonist's good friend, so she answered evasively: "Girls from other classes asked Alex Xu about Leo Lu. I heard that Leo Lu has a girlfriend in another school, and he treats her very well."

When Alex Xu heard Emily Tang's slip of the tongue, he was about to correct her when he heard Ke Di laughing and saying, "How can Brother Che have a girlfriend? Go tell that girl who asked about it that Brother Che is single. Hurry up and seize the opportunity."

After Kedi finished speaking, he turned around and shouted to the back: "Brother Che, the monitor wants to ask you if you have a girlfriend. Please issue an official statement as soon as possible."

...

Alex Xu was about to say "It's none of my business" in his heart, but he swallowed it back. He really experienced how terrible it is to spread rumors. What he said was "Nathan Wang's girlfriend's friend wanted to find out about Leo Lu", but when it came to Emily Tang, it became "a girl from another class asked Alex Xu about Leo Lu", and when Ke Di relayed it, it completely changed from beginning to end, and finally became "the class monitor wanted to ask Leo Lu if he had a girlfriend"!

Alex Xu had no way to defend himself, but no one wanted to hear him defend himself. The focus of others was not "who asked this question", but "whether Leo Lu had a girlfriend".

The students around him all looked at Leo Lu with great interest.

Only Alex Xu had a stiff neck and did not dare to look back.

A lazy voice came from behind---

"No, the monitor wants to introduce me to a girlfriend?"

...

Alex Xu once again became the focus of attention. He could only turn around and look at Leo Lu's calm face. He explained weakly, "I really didn't ask that. It was the girls from other classes who were asking about you."

With the previous experience of Emily Tang and Ke Di confusing right and wrong, Alex Xu could only gloss over it vaguely and did not directly say the truth that "Nathan Wang's girlfriend asked on behalf of her friend". He was worried that it would be used as a topic of after-dinner conversation by others and would confuse the public and cause gossip among the girls.

Leo Lu said "Oh" perfunctorily, obviously not believing his words.

Fortunately, the chemistry teacher walked into the classroom on time and interrupted their conversation. Alex Xu took the opportunity to quickly stand up and shout "Stand Up" to the whole class, but his voice was a little weak.

In the chemistry class, Alex Xu was extremely focused, forcing his brain to cram chemical reaction equations one after another, trying to drive away all his worries.

After class, Alex Xu was still full of energy. The students in front of him walked back and forth, blocking Alex Xu's opportunity to copy down the derivation process of the example questions written on the blackboard by the teacher, so he ran to the podium with the book in his arms to copy it.

Halfway through copying, the pen stopped.

Alex Xu held the pen cap in his mouth, and his brows furrowed. When he came across a point of knowledge that puzzled him, Alex Xu pondered it alone for a while, then looked up and saw the chemistry teacher standing outside in the corridor answering questions from students. He picked up the book and went to find the teacher.

Alex Xu's mind was entirely focused on the questionable point in his notes. He walked down the steps to the podium in two or three steps and was about to turn out of the front door of the classroom when he was unexpectedly tripped.

"Oh my god..."

Alex Xu hurriedly grabbed the door frame and narrowly avoided falling. He lowered his head in surprise and saw a red rope as thick as a small electric wire flashing a dark red light, hanging loosely on the surface of his shoes. One end of the red rope was attached to the classroom door frame and crawled into the classroom in a winding way.

Alex Xu subconsciously looked towards the classroom, and heard a cold voice from the right rear: "Class monitor, your fall this time is not good enough."

There was a strong hint of mockery in his voice.

Alex Xu's thoughts were interrupted. He turned around and saw Leo Lu leaning against the fence behind him. He raised his lips and said calmly, "I'm so far away from you, where are you going to fall?"

Leo Lu's face was no longer stern for a rare moment, but he became particularly mean.

Alex Xu couldn't understand why Leo Lu would never let go of any opportunity to tease him when he caught him, even though he was trying so carefully and cautiously to avoid Leo Lu.

Alex Xu was holding back his anger and was about to retort when the tall boy standing next to Leo Lu turned around curiously. Alex Xu glanced at the boy from the corner of his eye. It was difficult for Alex Xu to match the handsome and strong face in front of him with his fuzzy mind, but the red line floating on the boy's crotch quickly caught Alex Xu's attention.

He is the big brother who is connected to Dylan Xiao by a red line!

Alex Xu was very surprised by the sudden appearance of the red line. His eyes stayed on the red line on the boy's crotch for three seconds. Then he turned his head to look into the classroom. Sure enough, he saw the red line winding its way to Dylan Xiao in the second row of the fourth group.

The boy looked at Alex Xu in confusion, then turned away without any interest and asked Leo Lu casually, "What's wrong?"

After asking this question, the boy inexplicably saw that Leo Lu's face turned colder, and replied unhappily: "Nothing, you can go back first, and we can talk after school if you have anything to say."

Boy: ...

He clenched his fist and punched Leo Lu's shoulder without causing any pain, then cursed with a smile: "Damn it, Brother Che has a bad temper. I'm getting in your way by standing here, right? Okay, okay, I'm leaving now."

Alex Xu did not hear the conversation between Leo Lu and the boy. When he turned around, he saw that the boy had left. His eyes unconsciously followed the boy's back, trying to find out any unusual interaction between the boy and Dylan Xiao.

Alex Xu didn't realize that his series of actions could easily arouse people's imagination, but Leo Lu saw it all - the moment Alex Xu saw the boy just now, his eyes lit up like a 100-watt light bulb, and he stared at the man's crotch for a long time. Now that he saw the man was about to leave, his eyes seemed to be glued to him.

---This is too Fcuking____.

Leo Lu was so annoyed that he couldn't find the right words to describe his current mood.

He felt very upset and thought Alex Xu was a bad person. If you are gay, then you are gay. But you refuse to admit it. It's understandable if you don't admit it in the general environment. But you are still so indecisive about being gay... It's really frustrating!

Alex Xu had no idea of   Leo Lu's emotional ups and downs. The reason why he cared about Dylan Xiao and the boy was that he looked around and found that apart from the red line between Dylan Xiao and the boy, there was no other red line, including the red line between him and Leo Lu.

Alex Xu was puzzled: Could it be that Dylan Xiao and that big brother had made qualitative progress in a short period of time, and accidentally triggered the conditions for summoning the red line? It was just like a chemical equation, which required specific conditions for a chemical reaction to occur.

Alex Xu couldn't figure it out. The only clear thought in his mind was that he had to get close to Dylan Xiao in order to understand and verify the actual situation.

At this moment, Leo Lu's voice interrupted his thoughts: "Squad Leader."

Alex Xu turned his head away in confusion.

Leo Lu smiled and said, "You change your mind too quickly."

...

It was rare for Leo Lu to speak in such a nice tone, but the implication behind his words was equally sarcastic.

Alex Xu didn't blame Leo Lu for misunderstanding him so deeply. He could only explain with sadness and helplessness: "My friend, you really misunderstood me."

Leo Lu asked with amusement: "The misunderstanding you are referring to, is it 'I misunderstood that you are gay' or 'I misunderstood that you are interested in my friend'?"

Alex Xu was stunned by the question: "Is there any difference between the two?"

Leo Lu nodded and explained: "Of course there is a difference. The former is just a literal meaning, while the latter means 'are you interested in me or my friend, or are you interested in any man?'"

With Leo Lu's help, Alex Xu sorted out his thoughts. He felt a heart attack, like a cat whose tail was stepped on and its fur stood up. He jumped up and down anxiously and emphasized: "Damn it! I'm really straight! Super straight! As straight as you!"

Leo Lu shrugged his shoulders, walked around Alex Xu and walked into the classroom, saying lightly, "Who knows?"

Alex Xu stared at the back of Leo Lu's head, wishing he could just pry open his head and carve the three words "I'm super straight" into the hippocampus in the cerebral cortex that is responsible for long-term memory.

Is it hard to believe that he is straight?

Alex Xu was stumped by his own question: No straight man would throw himself into a man's arms three times a day, and no straight man would hit a man in the crotch.

Alex Xu put the book in his hand against the wall and banged his forehead against it several times.

It's so desperate!
