Chapter 191 Openly establishing a harem?

Against the white forum background, the darkened black font and the small tail behind it representing "hot" stand out particularly, but what attracted Chen Wenwen's attention more was the title itself.

"First-year high school student Lu Mingfei is actually a scumbag? He's still cheating on Liu Miaomiao after he got her?"

Chen Wenwen recited the title softly, slid the mouse over the post, and just as she double-clicked to open it, she was startled by the highly-praised reply at the top.

It turned out to be a photo of her and Lu Mingfei.

Although the pixels are not high, you can still see that the two people in the photo are close together, with the background being the library lobby and the setting sun light pouring in from the window.

I guess someone secretly took this photo of me and Lu Mingfei working on the club magazine in the library after school. The angle was very subtle, blocking the stack of documents in front of them, and we could only see their faces almost touching.

Even Chen Wenwen blushed after seeing this, and secretly wondered in her heart, had she and Lu Mingfei ever been so close before?
However, now is obviously not the time to care about how close she and Lu Mingfei were sitting, because this post said that the person Lu Mingfei cheated on was actually herself. I don't know if it was directed at her and Lu Mingfei, or if it was just a misunderstanding by passers-by.

The corners of Chen Wenwen's eyes twitched slightly, and she suddenly remembered the novel outline document she had just received.

The outline said that she and Lu Mingfei were caught working on the school magazine together for the school anniversary, and the boys in the same class spread rumors about them. Lu Mingfei stepped in to resolve the incident, but she confirmed her feelings for Lu Mingfei through this incident.

Now that there were rumors, they had been predicted by that strange outline. If Lu Mingfei really solved this matter, then wouldn’t he be…

"No, no!"

Chen Wenwen shook her head desperately to get rid of the strange thoughts in her mind.

"What are you thinking about? Lu Mingfei already has a girlfriend. And I don't like him either."

Chen Wenwen looked up at the screen, a hint of worry showing on her pretty face.

She felt that she had to explain the matter clearly no matter what. However, just like Liu Miaomiao, the reply she sent out was quickly drowned out by a flood of gossip. The separate clarification post also sank to the farthest corner of the forum.

I don’t know if no one noticed or no one believed what she posted.

Chen Wenwen grabbed a small bunch of hair at the end of her hair, and suddenly many inexplicable emotions flashed through her mind.

Angry at the person who posted the message, surprised at how the outline could predict this incident so accurately, annoyed at the people who instigated the incident, and worried about how to get along with Lu Mingfei and the others in the future.

Of course she had a clear conscience, but three people can make a tiger, and you can't stop other people's rumors.

"Is it better to avoid Lu Mingfei and the others for the next period of time?"

She turned her eyes away from the laptop, looked past the white gauze curtains blown by the evening breeze, looked at the falling night outside the window, tilted her head, and thought a little bored.

The only answer she got was a bird that happened to fly by outside the window and chirped.

……

After being troubled by various emotions all night, I overslept for once the next day and didn't even have time to eat breakfast. Fortunately, Chen's father hadn't left yet. Chen Wenwen got off her family's Passat at the intersection near the school.

The Passat roared away.

Chen Wenwen turned around and walked to the breakfast shop at the corner of the intersection, ready to buy breakfast. Just as she looked up, she saw a familiar figure walking on the sidewalk in front of her.

Along the long sidewalk, the morning sun shines through from the front, casting shadows. The shadows include those of the elongated and deformed, motionless buildings, and of the pedestrians hurrying by.

Chen Wenwen slowly raised her head and saw a boy wearing the autumn school uniform of Shilan Middle School walking towards her with a casual pace, yawning.

What a coincidence and what an unfortunate coincidence... There were people passing by on the road, but Chen Wenwen felt as if nothing could block her from seeing the boy's face clearly.

"Ah... Good morning, Chen Wenwen." Lu Mingfei covered his mouth, yawned lazily, and then greeted Chen Wenwen.

"Ah? Oh... Lu, Lu Mingfei, good morning too." Chen Wenwen said hurriedly.

Lu Mingfei has now learned to judge whether he has arrived at school early or late based on the people he meets in the morning. Today, he met Chen Wenwen, so it must be neither too early nor too late. Miaomiao should have arrived in the classroom, but the little goddess has not come yet.

"Are you buying breakfast too?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Chen Wenwen turned her eyes away and took a small step to the side. She ignored Lu Mingfei's words and just stared blankly at the boss of the breakfast shop pulling the cut white flour dough one by one and throwing it into the oil pan. The fluffy and bulging dough sticks were fried in the yellow oil, making crackling sounds.

Lu Mingfei was stunned. For a moment he didn’t understand what was wrong with Chen Wenwen. He shouldn’t have done anything to make her unhappy, right?

But in a flash, he remembered the rumor that suddenly spread in the forum yesterday, and suddenly he understood.

Chen Wenwen ignored me, probably because of the post yesterday.

Lu Mingfei himself had been through a lot. There had been a lot of rumors about him since his last life. Even within two months after he came back to this life, rumors were spreading about him that he and Liu Miaomiao were having an affair.

Of course, judging from the results, he and Liu Miaomiao were indeed hooking up.

Although Lu Mingfei was used to rumors, Chen Wenwen was obviously not. Since junior high school, there were many people who liked Chen Wenwen, and many of them had the courage to chat with her, but in the end, no one had a scandal with Chen Wenwen.

Unexpectedly, just half a semester after entering Shilan Middle School, Chen Wenwen’s scandal started to spread. The other party was the open boyfriend of Liu Miaomiao, another popular campus beauty at Shilan Middle School.

In order to avoid suspicion, Chen Wenwen ignored Lu Mingfei, but she was afraid that Lu Mingfei would misunderstand her. After all, he had just helped her so much, and if she suddenly ignored him, would Lu Mingfei think that she was unkind...

“Are you ignoring me because of that post on the forum?” Lu Mingfei came closer and asked.

Chen Wenwen felt the gaze on her side, but she didn't look at Lu Mingfei. She just pursed her lips and nodded, her long hair divided into two strands and draped over her shoulders, swinging back and forth.

Chen Wenwen couldn't help but ask softly, "Aren't you worried?"

"worry about what?"

"Will the rumors affect you..."

Affects me, what affects me?
Was he worried that this rumor would affect his reputation? Or was he worried that this rumor would affect the relationship between him and Liu Miaomiao?

He had been unlucky for several years before; after entering university, he blew the heads of the bosses of the Student Union and the Lionheart Society with two sniper shots, which made people think that he won unfairly and stabbed his spine for a long time... and many people also knew that he coveted the beauty of the eldest sister-in-law.

Therefore, he has long been a person who doesn't care much about public opinion. If he cared about public opinion, he would have jumped off a building long ago.

As for the little girl, she expressed her full trust in me yesterday, so there is no need to worry about the relationship being ruined by rumors.

However, the artistic girl Chen Wenwen obviously did not have the rough heart of Lu Mingfei, and she still seemed a little overwhelmed in the face of these rumors. "Don't worry." Lu Mingfei shook his head and said truthfully, "Because I know there is nothing between us."

Although I did like Chen Wenwen for many years...but that was a long time ago, Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

After Lu Mingfei said this, Chen Wenwen suddenly felt that it seemed as if she had some other thoughts in her mind, and hurriedly whispered: "I also know that there is nothing between us, but seeing that they keep saying this, I..."

"Want to avoid suspicion?"

"...Yeah." Chen Wenwen turned her back to Lu Mingfei and nodded silently.

"Actually, I think there is no need to avoid suspicion." Lu Mingfei said.

Chen Wenwen was stunned, and finally turned to look at Lu Mingfei in confusion, as if she wanted to ask him what he meant.

“I don’t know why the person who posted this message…”

The Servant Club of Sobu High School is almost a gathering place for rumors. Having been a member of the Servant Club for a year, Lu Mingfei already has a sufficient base to deal with rumors.

“But if you and I ignore each other because of this post, wouldn’t it make us seem guilty? Then others can use this incident to make fun of us,” said Lu Mingfei.

After listening to Lu Mingfei's analysis, Chen Wenwen pondered for a while, and suddenly felt that what Lu Mingfei said seemed to make sense... But letting the rumors ferment didn't seem to be a solution.

"Then what should we do?" Chen Wenwen asked timidly.

“Hmm…” Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, “I think it’s fine to keep the status quo as before. Chen Wenwen, you can have lunch with us at noon. When others see you sitting with us, they won’t be affected by the rumors, and those rumors will be broken on their own.”

"Is that all?" Chen Wenwen asked.

"Probably?" Lu Mingfei said.

There seemed to be no other good ideas at the moment. Chen Wenwen nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with what Lu Mingfei said. So when Lu Mingfei told Chen Wenwen that the fried dough sticks and sweet soybean milk at the breakfast shop on the corner were delicious, Chen Wenwen also listened to Lu Mingfei's recommendation obediently.

The students of Shilan Middle School who were passing by saw the male and female protagonists of the explosive post on the Shilan Middle School forum buying soy milk and fried dough sticks shoulder to shoulder at the breakfast shop across the street from the school gate. They all felt that this adulterous couple was too bold. After being exposed, they actually stopped pretending and showed their cards directly.

While feeling sorry for Liu Miaomiao, they took photos as evidence. Seeing more and more photos appearing in the explosive post, even Lu Liu's party, who had previously stood firmly on Lu Mingfei's side, began to waver slightly.

But by lunchtime, more people began to waver.

The bell rang for the end of the fourth class. Chen Wenwen packed up the books on her desk and just walked out of the classroom when she ran into Zhao Menghua at the door.

"Chen Wenwen, you haven't eaten yet?" Zhao Menghua greeted, "Why don't you come sit at the same table with me? I need Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao to save a seat for us. The cafeteria is crowded at noon, and it's hard to find a seat if you go too late."

"Thank you, Zhao Menghua." Chen Wenwen said with a smile, "But no, I've already made an appointment with someone to have dinner together?"

Have you made an appointment to have dinner with someone?

Although Chen Wenwen is pretty, she doesn't have many friends in her class. This is mainly because of her introverted, reserved and sensitive personality. She doesn't approach people actively and doesn't seem to be easy to approach.

So every day at lunch, Chen Wenwen ate alone, and occasionally she would eat with Lin Huihui from the next class.

But today when Zhao Menghua went to see Chen Wenwen, Chen Wenwen said that she had already made an appointment with someone to have dinner together...

Zhao Menghua didn't know whether Chen Wenwen really had a date or was just politely rejecting him, but since Chen Wenwen had already said so, out of gentlemanly demeanor, he couldn't keep pestering her.

Zhao Menghua followed Chen Wenwen depressedly and went to the cafeteria together. After getting his meal, he sat down at the table occupied by Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao.

"What's wrong, Lao Da?" Xu Yanyan asked, "Chen Wenwen still didn't agree?"

"Maybe next time." Zhao Menghua stirred the food with a spoon in annoyance. "She said she had an appointment with someone to have dinner together today."

"Oh oh."

Seeing Zhao Menghua say this, Xu Yanyan did not ask any more questions. However, Xu Miaomiao, who was sitting opposite the two of them, suddenly looked up, not knowing where he was looking, and then patted the table.

The rice in Zhao Menghua's spoon almost spilled out as a result of the slap. Zhao Menghua, who was already upset, was furious: "Slap to death? Can you have some manners when eating?"

"No, Lao Da..." Xu Miaomiao swallowed, "Look at the person sitting at the table in front of us, is that Chen Wenwen?"

Zhao Menghua was startled and quickly turned to look in the direction Xu Miaomiao pointed, only to see that several protagonists who were caught up in the scandal were actually sitting together in the cafeteria to eat at noon today as usual.

Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen sat side by side, Liu Miaomiao sat opposite Lu Mingfei, and Su Xiaoqiang sat next to Liu Miaomiao. Moreover, Liu Miaomiao and Chen Wenwen, two rivals in love who should be eyeing each other with hatred, were actually talking and laughing at this moment.

"Shit, what's going on?"

Not only Zhao Menghua was stunned, everyone who saw this scene was stunned.

What happened to the play between the three women? Shouldn't the play that was supposed to be performed today be the good play of Justice Bao slaying Chen Shimei?
All the audiences at Shilan Middle School were eager to play the role of Mr. Bao and criticize Lu Mingfei, but they ended up seeing Chen Wenwen and Liu Miaomiao acting like they were treating each other with respect and treating each other like sisters, while Lu Mingfei was surrounded by beauties like an emperor...

In terms of love, Lu Mingfei wasn't cheating, he was taking a concubine with the wife's permission!
This scene was too shocking. Zhao Menghua did not expect that Chen Wenwen would reject him for Lu Mingfei.

What I didn’t expect was that after I posted that explosive post, the two of them could still sit together so naturally.

Damn, I don't see them interacting with each other. But I have put a lot of thought into Chen Wenwen. I am even the only one who was actively recruited into the literature club by Chen Wenwen.

After finally making it to the afternoon computer class, Zhao Menghua could not wait to log onto the Shilan Middle School forum to see what was going on, but he saw a bunch of photos of Lu Mingfei and Chen Wenwen appear under his post.

And this time there are more angles and the shooting distance is closer, so it obviously doesn't look like photoshop.

In one of the photos, one can even see Lu Mingfei with his head lowered, talking and laughing to Chen Wenwen beside him. His eyes are so expressive, and it's unclear what kind of intimate words he is saying.

Zhao Menghua was about to explode with anger.

Damn it, Lu Mingfei is too unruly. Isn't it enough that the four school beauties of Shilan Middle School, Liu Miaomiao, Su Xiaoqiang and Xia Mi, are entangled with you? How many of them do you want to kidnap before you are willing to give up?
What really broke Zhao Menghua's defense was when he looked up and saw Lu Mingfei sitting opposite him, with Chen Wenwen on his left and Su Xiaoqiang on his right, while Liu Miaomiao was sitting in front of a computer with Lu Mingfei.

It really fits the saying: "When the class beauty is romantic, I will be smiling in the bushes."

Zhao Menghua's heart was broken.
