Chapter 447: Is it Appreciation or Sneak photos 02_1

Baili Xia was still trudging with heavy legs to school, step by step.

Around the campus, students were wandering in groups.

Many turned to watch her, their eyes filled with profound confusion and interest.

Baili Xia was oblivious to the fact that her previous altercations with the school belle, Qin Feifei, had already given her a bit of notoriety in school.

Surely, this reputation was not a good one.

The school belle could not handle losing, she couldn’t bully Baili Xia, so she resorted to personal attacks.

She spread rumors that not only was Baili Xia in a relationship with Dongfang, but she was also luring in Mu.

All the insults thrown her way were distasteful, to say the least.

Some anonymous accounts would post endlessly about these issues on the school forum.

When people heard these rumors repeatedly, they took it for granted as the truth.

Baili Xia wasn’t entirely unaware of these rumblings.

After all, she had Ning Anran in school who would keep her informed of all the happenings.

However, Baili Xia really didn’t care much about these matters.

Rumors ceased at the wise; with time, people’s fervor on these issues would fade, and they would gradually be forgotten.

She was still slogging towards the teaching building, today even her backpack felt noticeably heavier.

With each advancing step, her legs were trembling lightly.

It’s just…she had been out with Uncle for too long.

After all that time, the fact that she still had the strength to walk into the campus alone was quite remarkable.

Suddenly, the weight on her shoulders lessened dramatically, and the straps of her backpack loosened in an instant.

Baili Xia was momentarily stunned, turning her head to look at the man walking beside her.

“I have something to discuss with you.” Dongfang Ji’s voice was slightly heavy.

This wasn’t a good place for a conversation, but he was anxious, so he could only intercept her here.

Baili Xia nodded her head and walked with him towards a small flower bed not far away.

Unexpectedly, just two steps in, Baili Xia’s legs gave way, and she nearly dropped to her knees.

Her two legs, they were utterly exhausted and almost devoid of all strength.

Just at the moment she was about to fall, Dongfang Ji immediately reached out to support her.

From a certain angle, these two supporting each other as they walked brought about significant ambiguity.

Suddenly there was a “click, click”, the sound of a camera shutter firing came from an unknown corner.

Dongfang Ji’s tall body tensed, quickly realizing that something was wrong.

Supporting Baili Xia, he calmly said: “Wait for me here.”

Turning around, he darted towards the hidden bushes.

Soon enough, there were wailing sounds coming from over there.

With a “smashing” sound, something appeared to have been thrown to the ground and shattered.

Baili Xia immediately walked over, only to find a male student hiding behind the bushes was now being held up by Dongfang Ji.

The man was lifted off the ground with a terrified look on his face as he continuously apologized to Dongfang Ji.

“I’ve realized my mistake, senior, I won’t dare to do it again.”

“Who asked you to spy on her?”

Dongfang Ji certainly wasn’t going to let him off, his grip on the man’s clothes tightening.

The man hastily shook his head, fearful.

“I-I just thought senior Dongfang is handsome, and this junior here is exceptionally pretty.

From afar, finding the right angle, the photos indeed turn out to be stunning, but…”

He looked at the camera on the ground, with a depressed expression on his face.

“Unfortunately, they’re all gone now.”

Dongfang Ji didn’t intend to let him go, his grip even more tense than before.

“Was it because she is pretty or because you wanted to spy on her?”

Snapping photos just for admiration?

Such a lame excuse, and he dares to argue this in his face, does he think Dongfang Ji is a fool!
