Returning from the Immortal World
chapter-33

“A well-behaved mommy’s boy?” A strange expression surfaced on Long Zhenglin’s face as he heard Yuan Chuling’s description of Tang Xiu.

Would a well-behaved mommy’s boy enter the Game Hall? Could the very same well-behaved mommy’s boy make the Game Hall’s boss lose his coolness and manners?

“Wait-wait… Hold on! What is with that strange expression? Could it be that those bastards have spoken the truth?” Having clearly seen the changes in Long Zhenglin’s expression, Yuan Chuling subconsciously glanced at Su Xiangfei’s direction.

When Yuan Chuling had just entered the classroom this morning, he heard someone spreading rumors and said that, after Tang Xiu left yesterday’s evening class, he had gone to the Game Hall and played there all night.

Everyone easily believed the rumors spread out by this trio, because the fact was, Tang Xiu really didn’t come back to the dorm last night. They spoke about Tang Xiu with a disdain and contempt-filled expression. Even if Tang Xiu got poor results, but to go as far as leaving to spend all night to play slot machines, wasn’t it the same with the broken moral and mental sickness?

But when Tang Xiu’s Monthly Test’s results came out, the direction of public opinion immediately changed.

Everyone thought that the rumors were intentionally spread out by Su Xiangfei, Su Duanxin, and Tan Liquan to discredit Tang Xiu because the three of them were well known to often go out and play in the Game Hall. But never once did everyone hear about Tang Xiu entering the Game Hall.

Besides, entering the Game Hall was not the worst thing everyone ever did, since most of the students in the ordinary class, in fact, had played at the Game Hall and many of them also had played the game all night long. So even if what Su Xiangfei’s trio had said were true, for Class 10’s students, it was not enough to even loathe Tang Xiu in the slightest bit. They even felt closer and thought that he was not an out-of-reach kind of existence.

On the contrary, they were much more loathing Su Xiangfei, Su Duanxin, and Tan Liquan’s behavior since they were starting rumors and causing trouble, ratting about their own classmates to the teachers behind his back. This was not a gentleman behavior, this was a dishonorable behavior.

This was the power of scoring 712 points in the Monthly Test’s results. This was the power of snatching out the first rank in grade.

“Those bastards?” Following Yuan Chuling’s eyes, Long Zhenglin also looked at the direction of Su Xiangfei’s trio as a trace of coldness flashed from his eyes.

Yesterday, Long Zhenglin was also aware that Su Xiangfei, Su Duanxin, and Tan Liquan were trailing behind Tang Xiu because he also had been following Tang Xiu. Moreover, he also heard this trio’s curses and disrespecting words towards Tang Xiu.

At first, Long Zhenglin only thought that this trio were completely passers-by. They were merely jealous due to Tang Xiu’s success to sweep away the Health and Prosper Club and then said those words. But he had never thought that they were Tang Xiu’s classmates, causing a surge of disgust to be born in his heart.

Feeling the disgust from Long Zhenglin’s eyes, Su Xiangfei’s trio subconsciously lowered their head as their complexion turned pale.

In fact, after Long Zhenglin came to the classroom, Su Xiangfei’s trio literally became ostriches that dove their heads into the sand. They didn’t even dare to breathe, as to not to be noted by Long Zhenglin. But they didn’t expect that Long Zhenglin eventually shifted his attention toward them.

“Fatty, you and I have been friends for a long time. Why don’t you tell me where Tang Xiu is?” After having stared at Su Xiangfei’s trio for a while, Long Zhenglin retracted his vision back and asked with an anxious expression.
