CHAPTER 119: CHAPTER 119 I DON’T DESPISE YOU

The girls always buy sanitary pads in a secretive manner, but Sheng Tang had no such concerns.

She didn’t care.

When she got to the classroom, many students saw her pants and a certain girl came over specifically to remind her, "Sheng Tang, your pants..."

"I know, it’s okay. I’ll change when I get home after school," Sheng Tang said.

A classmate made a suggestion, "See if anyone has brought an extra school uniform."

She asked in the group, but no one had.

Normally, who would bring an extra pair of pants to class?

"Maybe ask the boarding students?" The girl suggested again.

Sheng Tang thought about it, and realized that the situation would escalate. The warnings Gu Jiahui had given her would come true, and it was better to shift everyone’s attention.

"Seriously, I don’t want it. I’m afraid I’d stretch out someone else’s pants, and then I’d have to compensate them," Sheng Tang said with a smile.

The girl was amused by her.

Jiang Baocu’s aunt came at noon, but after meeting her aunt briefly, she turned around and saw that the forum was flooded with photos of Gu Shiting and Sheng Tang.

She was absolutely stunned!

In the photo, Gu Shiting’s profile was impossibly handsome, his face perfect for a leading man in idol dramas; while Sheng Tang didn’t look embarrassed at all.

Sheng Tang had big eyes and a high nose bridge, good skin, and even though she was chubby, she had her own kind of enchanting beauty.

In the same photo with Gu Shiting, there was no sense of discord. Her slightly surprised expression had an inexplicable charm.

If Sheng Tang lost a bit of weight and fit society’s beauty standards more, she would definitely be an extraordinary beauty.

"...You said you didn’t know Gu Shiting? That’s not fair, you never gossiped with me all this time!" Jiang Baocu charged in, shaking Sheng Tang’s arm.

Sheng Tang was planning to take a nap.

"My period is here, it got all over my pants," Sheng Tang said.

Jiang Baocu was momentarily stunned.

"So..."

"He kindly helped cover for me," Sheng Tang explained.

Jiang Baocu: "..."

It just didn’t sound believable.

How could Gu Shiting be that kind-hearted? Young Master Gu hated anyone approaching him, and he himself would never approach anyone.

But when he was tying his clothes for Sheng Tang, he looked so affectionate.

If Sheng Tang were thinner, Jiang Baocu might suspect that Young Master Gu had a crush on her.

"Later, I’m going to walk around in my dirty pants, don’t stop me," Sheng Tang said, "Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain clearly."

While they were talking, several groups of girls came to the window and pointed at them.

Fortunately, Sheng Tang was sitting in the fourth group.

"Is it her?"

"She’s so fat! How could it be possible?"

"There are photos and videos, how could it not be? Could it be that Young Master Gu likes fat chicks?"

"No way, fat chicks are so ugly, right?"

After this group left, another group came. During lunch break, Sheng Tang’s classmates were so disturbed by the coming and going outside that they couldn’t sleep.

They were helpless.

"It’s so annoying, too noisy to sleep!" an irritable classmate complained.

"It’s all Sheng Tang’s fault."

Sheng Tang didn’t react to this. Otherwise, it would have led to another argument, creating more gossip.

She held back.

After school, Sheng Tang did indeed walk out in her dirty pants.

Jiang Baocu saw it and, feeling very self-conscious, said, "Cover up, it’s so embarrassing!"

"What’s so embarrassing about it?" Sheng Tang said, "Let them see it. Otherwise, they’ll tear me apart alive tomorrow."

As Sheng Tang walked out, sure enough, many people were pointing and whispering.

Someone was even taking pictures behind her.

Some kind-hearted girls came to remind her, and Sheng Tang just said she knew.

Even when she got on the bus outside the school, there were still classmates whispering.

She opened her phone and took a look at the school forum.

Sure enough, there were already "clarification" posts being pinned to the top.

The rumors from the afternoon, speculating about the relationship between Sheng Tang and Gu Shiting, had been refuted one by one.

"Young Master Gu was just helping her out."

"He was doing a good deed and yet you’re spreading these rumors, no wonder good people are hard to find!"

Sheng Tang registered an account and commented on the post, "Young Master Gu has no strange tastes. He doesn’t like fat chicks, okay?"

Many people agreed with her comment.

Seeing that public opinion had shifted, Sheng Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, her phone buzzed with a new message.

It was a text message.

"Get off one stop before your home." It was from Gu Shiting.

Sheng Tang felt a bit helpless.

But she couldn’t bring herself to be harsh with him because he truly had good intentions.

She replied, "Okay."

When she got off, she saw Gu Shiting’s car. He was looking out the window and opened the door, inviting her in.

"...I caused trouble for you," Gu Shiting sounded like a child who had done something wrong.

"It’s okay, I know you mean well," Sheng Tang smiled, "It’s just that the students are always overthinking things. I don’t mind, and by tomorrow, no one will be talking about it."

"But we really do know each other..." Gu Shiting said a little dejectedly, "I like you, whether you’re fat or thin. As long as you don’t mind me, I’ll never mind you."

Sheng Tang: "..."

She was startled for a second before realizing that Song Chen, that scoundrel with forum admin privileges, had already sold out her number-registered small account to the Young Master.

Sheng Tang’s guiding comments had been discovered by the Young Master.

"I didn’t mean it like that. I know how you feel about me," Sheng Tang smiled, "I was just going with the flow to clean up my reputation."

"Why not let them know?"

"Some things are just too troublesome. I don’t want to deal with conflicts every day," Sheng Tang said, "People will be jealous of me. Once they’re jealous, they’ll start picking on me, and it’s endless."

"But..."

"On the day before my college entrance exams, why don’t you drive me to school and blind them? How about that?" Sheng Tang asked.

Gu Shiting’s eyes gradually lit up.

"You know how to drive, right?" Sheng Tang asked him again.

Gu Shiting: "..."

The Young Master decided that he would start learning to drive as soon as he got home today.

He dropped Sheng Tang off at her door and watched her go upstairs before leaving.

When he returned to the villa, he called for Song Chen.

"You mentioned before that there’s some software that can help you learn to drive?" he asked Song Chen.

Song Chen nodded, "Yes, but I can’t get it right away. Give me two days."

"Alright," Gu Shiting wasn’t difficult to deal with.

Song Chen noticed his mood had improved a lot, "If you really want to learn to drive, I can teach you directly. Learning to drive needs real practice. If you want, I can get a practice car."

Gu Shiting was a bit hesitant.

Song Chen smiled, "Okay, start with the simulator, and once you get the hang of it, I’ll teach you and reinforce your skills."

Gu Shiting nodded.

All the students at school knew about Sheng Tang messing her pants yesterday.

It should have been quite embarrassing but wasn’t widely known, so it quashed everyone’s interest in the rumors.

Sheng Tang wasn’t considered pretty, and her biggest flaw was her weight. None of the boys or girls could believe that Gu Shiting liked her.

Without the mystery, not many people talked about it the next day.

The school forum soon had new gossip: someone was seen leaving a boys’ dorm room at 1 a.m.

Who that person was, whose dorm room it was, and why they left at 1 a.m. became the new topic of gossip.
