Chapter 302: Chapter 302 Gu Shiting’s Warning
Gu Shiting stood still for a few seconds before entering the cafeteria.
He always ate on the third floor because there were fewer people. Although there were no private rooms, there were individual seats, each separated by a considerable distance.
A whole row of seats by the window was partitioned by screens, making them inaccessible from both front and back.
Only members of the student council could eat on the third floor. This wasn’t an official school rule; it was created by the student council themselves.
No one knew who started it, nor why it was still being upheld.
Gu Shiting had no interest in changing any faults, even if Huishi was part of his family’s assets.
He silently picked his food and returned to his usual seat.
His seat was the last one by the window, exclusively his. The students wouldn’t dare to take his place just for fun.
Apart from his seat, the other seats were taken randomly.
Today, the group dining next to him was Gu Jiahui’s gang.
Listening to Gu Jiahui’s voice made Gu Shiting feel irritated and lose his appetite.
He ate very slowly.
Only when Gu Jiahui and his group got up to leave did Gu Shiting stand.
He walked behind the crowd.
While going downstairs, he suddenly spoke, "Move aside!"
The group consisted of senior male students from the student council, who were notorious in school and from influential families. They had never been scolded in such a manner, so instead of instinctively moving aside, they turned to see who had the audacity to talk like that.
Turning around, they saw Gu Shiting.
They were stunned for a moment.
Gu Shiting spoke again, "Move aside, are you deaf?"
The boys swallowed their anger and reluctantly stepped aside.
Gu Shiting walked past them.
When passing by Gu Jiahui, he stopped.
His gaze was as sharp as an icy blade, coldly fixing on Gu Jiahui, "You better watch out."
Gu Jiahui’s eyes, hidden behind his glasses, instantly turned cold as well, "Thanks for the reminder!"
Gu Shiting glared at him, his eyes blazing with fury.
Another boy asked, "Is everything okay?"
Gu Shiting regained some clarity.
He disdained fighting with these people at school, so he turned and descended the stairs.
Sheng Tang was unaware of their conflict. After eating, she went back to the classroom to sleep as usual, thinking that things might finally reach a conclusion today.
Sure enough, between the second class of the afternoon, many students were gathered, whispering to each other.
A few girls occasionally let out strange, low giggles.
The student sitting in front of Sheng Tang, who usually loved gossiping, didn’t dare to turn around, probably unsure how to console Sheng Tang.
"...How could her English grades improve so much all of a sudden? Turns out it’s some kind of deal, shameless!"
Jiang Baocu heard this comment.
She remembered Sheng Tang’s warning from the previous day, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Give me your phone," she said to Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang gently patted her hand, "Focus on your studies. If I give you the phone, you won’t be able to attend any of your afternoon classes."
On the side, Bai Shaolin’s little sister chimed in, "It’s really shameless, applying societal tactics to a teacher. Mr. Bai is over fifty, his hair half white, and now his reputation is ruined."
They were getting more and more excited.
Jiang Baocu vaguely understood.
The scandal that had been spreading like wildfire in the past few days has finally pinned its main characters on Sheng Tang and Mr. Bai?
This was too vile!
"Hey, give me your phone for a look!" Jiang Baocu couldn’t help but push the student in front of her.
The student in front felt awkward, avoided looking at Sheng Tang, and handed the phone over to Jiang Baocu.
On her phone screen, the school forum was displayed.
The forum had finally broken the major news that had been brewing for several days.
It started this morning.
