Chapter 147 — News Travels Especially Fast on Campus "Have You Heard? Wei Zhao, One of the New Four Campus Bullies, Went to Tang Yun's Class to See Her and Gave Her a Note, I Wonder What It Was?"

"Have you heard? Wei Zhao, one of the new Four Campus Bullies, wrote Tang Yun a love letter!"

"Have you heard? Wei Zhao, one of the new Four Campus Bullies, is pursuing Tang Yun!"

"Have you heard? Wei Zhao, one of the new Four Campus Bullies, is dating Tang Yun!"

"Have you heard? Wei Zhao, one of the new Four Campus Bullies, that Zou Ruoming who is also one of the Four went to harass his girlfriend Tang Yun, and Wei Zhao beat him until his face was a bloody mess..."

Neither of the two people at the center of it, Young Master Wei and campus belle Tang, knew that rumors about them had already spread all over the school...

Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu watched Wei Zhao run out empty-handed and run back empty-handed, and had no idea what he had actually given Tang Yun, since they never saw him carry anything out with him?

They wanted to ask, but felt a little too embarrassed. Gu Mengyao could only let it go. She glanced at Shen Yushu. This girl would never do. She had no credibility to speak of. Sending her to ask would be worse than asking herself, for she would turn right around and sell her out.

The last short class ended. It was the break before the long evening self-study period.

Tang Yun walked hand in hand with a girl in glasses across the sports field. This was Tang Yun's best friend at school, Liu Xinwen, from Class 10 of Senior Three. Their families lived very close to each other, and they both knew that rather unfortunate girl Xiao Fen.

Liu Xinwen was not very good-looking, so naturally she was not a target for those little punks and hoodlums, nor would she ever catch the eye of some young master. She usually lived a quiet life.

"Yun-yun, you are not really with Wei Zhao..." Liu Xinwen lowered her voice and asked.

"How could I?" Tang Yun had never expected her best friend to say such a thing, and her face turned red at once. She spat, "What nonsense are you talking? How could there be anything between him and me?"

"No? Yun-yun, don't you know? It is all over our class. They say Wei Zhao handed you a love letter today, and you shyly accepted it, and in your panic you almost knocked over our homeroom teacher, Teacher Song," Liu Xinwen said.

"Huh?" Tang Yun had never imagined that Wei Zhao giving her a barbecue recipe would be seen by busybodies and twisted into something like this. Truly, gossip was a fearful thing.

"What, you really did not know?" Seeing Tang Yun's baffled look, Liu Xinwen was puzzled too. Could Tang Yun really not know?

"Wen-wen, tell me, what exactly happened?" Tang Yun grew anxious and shook Liu Xinwen's hand. "How is it that I know nothing at all?"

"Well, this afternoon someone saw Wei Zhao give you a love letter and confess to you, and then you shyly accepted it and went back to your classroom..." Liu Xinwen summed up a relatively reliable and believable version for Tang Yun.

"Huh?" Tang Yun's eyes went wide. "He gave me a love letter? He confessed to me?"

"Yes, that is what everyone is saying..." Liu Xinwen thought to herself, there are even more fantastical versions I have not told you yet. Once I tell you, you will know how wild they can get.

"Wen-wen, don't you believe me? How could I fall in love so early?" Tang Yun said, helpless and torn between tears and laughter.

"Hee, who knows? You are already eighteen. Who knows whether your heart is stirring with spring?" Liu Xinwen laughed. "Besides, we are about to graduate from senior three and go to college soon. Maybe you just could not hold back anymore?"

"I will beat you to death!" Tang Yun was so teased by Liu Xinwen that her face turned crimson. She swung a fist at Liu Xinwen, and Liu Xinwen giggled and dodged away.

"Yun-yun, honestly, do you like Wei Zhao or not?" After she finished laughing, Liu Xinwen put on a perfectly serious expression.

"I... how could I like him? Isn't it he who keeps pestering me?" Tang Yun pursed her lips, a little gloomy.

"Are you telling the truth?" Liu Xinwen said. "Yun-yun, let me tell you, you must be careful. Don't let anyone fool you. Xiao Fen is a lesson to you. You may be pretty, but you have no other capital to fall back on. Don't be deceived, or you will regret it when it is too late."

"Wen-wen, don't you trust me... It is all that wicked Wei Zhao pestering me... How could I accept his confession?" Tang Yun said. "You... who did you hear it from?"

"Oh, that's good..." Liu Xinwen nodded. "Who did I hear it from... That's hard to say. Everyone is saying it, and no one knows who started it. Anyway it is getting wilder and wilder. They all say you and Wei Zhao are already together..."

"Ah..." Tang Yun smiled bitterly and stamped her foot, a little annoyed. "What should I do? Wen-wen, what do you think I should do?"

"Why don't I go talk to him? How can he do this? You are afraid of him, but I am not!" Liu Xinwen was famous for being tough. Her mother was a formidable woman too. Liu Xinwen had absorbed her mother's fine tradition since childhood. At twelve, when she went with her mother to sell vegetables at the market, she could scare off the thugs collecting protection money with a cleaver in her hand...

"Forget it... You don't know, he is really formidable. He throws his weight around and beat up both Zhong Yongliang and Zou Ruoming, and neither of them dared to say a word... Don't go," Tang Yun did not want anything to happen to Liu Xinwen. This sort of thing could not be settled by toughness alone.

"Ah..." Liu Xinwen had heard something of Wei Zhao's exploits. Young Master Wei was no longer just a matter of having a powerful background. He was utterly reckless and unrestrained. One of the four campus bullies, he had beaten up two of them within days of transferring here, and nothing had happened to him...

Liu Xinwen asked herself and knew she was no match for him. Going would do her no good. She said indignantly, "I think this whole business was most likely spread by Wei Zhao himself."

"Huh?" Tang Yun was taken aback, looking at Liu Xinwen in confusion.

"Don't you see? He failed to win you over, so he took the chance to hype it up, turning your story into an established fact. Then, when everyone knows you are his girlfriend, you will have no choice but to accept your fate," Liu Xinwen speculated maliciously.

"That can't be... He... he should not be that kind of person, should he?" Tang Yun frowned. Judging from the impression Wei Zhao had left on her over the past few days, hateful though he was, he should not be the sort to spread rumors behind her back. As she saw it, Wei Zhao deliberately disguised himself as a courteous gentleman, and even after she had seen through him, he would not resort to such a dirty trick. That would only make her hate him even more.

"Why not? Hey? Yun-yun, why are you speaking up for him? He should not be that kind of person? What, are you really a little moved?" Liu Xinwen heard something off in Tang Yun's words, as if there was a hint of defending Wei Zhao in them?

Could this girl really have developed some feelings for Wei Zhao? At this thought, Liu Xinwen's expression turned solemn, and a bad premonition rose from the bottom of her heart... Could it be that Yun-yun's heart was about to fall?
