Chu An looked at Gu Xiao, whose face had completely darkened. His heart ached, but he was also a little worried.
“Xiaoxiao, why don’t I find a way to contact someone to see if they can repair this fountain pen?”
Hearing Chu An’s voice, Gu Xiao came back to her senses from her own world of silence.
She suddenly looked up at Ji Yao, who was not far away, and met her gaze before she had managed to look away.
Seeing that Gu Xiao had already discovered her, Ji Yao even pretended to look at Gu Xiao smugly.
Gu Xiao looked at Ji Yao’s expression and already had an idea of what had happened.
Gu Xiao handed the fountain pen to Chu An. “Take care of it for me.” Then, without waiting for Chu An’s reaction, she stood up and walked towards Ji Yao.
She looked at Ji Yao coldly and questioned, “Did you do it?”
It was supposed to be a question, but Gu Xiao said it with certainty.
When Ji Yao heard this, she looked at Gu Xiao innocently. “Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about? What did I do?”
“Pen, did you break it?”
Ji Yao looked aggrieved. “Xiaoxiao, even if your fountain pen is broken, how can you blame it on me? Everyone in class saw it clearly yesterday. I left the classroom very early.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding students who did not know what was going on also spoke.
“That’s right! What happened, Xiaoxiao? Ji Yao did leave quite early yesterday.” “That’s right! We all saw it. Did Xiaoxiao misunderstand something?”
A classmate standing beside Ji Yao questioned, “Can you not blame our Yaoyao for everything?! I think you just can’t stand Yaoyao, so you came to find trouble with her!”
“That’s right! Gu Xiao, how can you malign a good person!”
Ji Yao smiled in her heart when she heard the people around her protecting her, but she still looked aggrieved.
“Xiaoxiao, I don’t blame you for blaming me, as long as you give me…”
Gu Xiao glanced at the person who was speaking up for Ji Yao, then her gaze landed on Ji Yao. Before Ji Yao could finish, she interrupted, “I didn’t say that my fountain pen broke yesterday. Why are you so sure that something happened yesterday?”
Ji Yao choked and did not know how to reply.
She averted her eyes and was about to say something when she heard Gu Xiao continue, “And as far as I know, many of the classes in our school won’t be specially locked. Anyone can return to the class.”
Their school was very strict with security. Ordinary people could not enter their school.
In addition, there was usually nothing in the classroom. They would not deliberately lock it. They would only lock it when they remembered to do so.
Ji Yao’s expression stiffened. “Well, didn’t you still use a fountain pen yesterday? You came to look for me today. It should be broken yesterday. Moreover, I haven’t been back since I left the class yesterday. Xiaoxiao, even if you don’t like me, you can’t accuse me!”
Towards the end, Ji Yao seemed to have tears in her eyes, looking very sad that she had been misunderstood.
Gu Xiao sneered and looked at Ji Yao’s pretentious expression.
“Don’t forget that there are surveillance cameras in the classroom.”
“Then Xiaoxiao can check the surveillance cameras! Anyway, I didn’t do it! You’ve misunderstood me!” Ji Yao said righteously.
Of course, she knew that there were surveillance cameras in the classroom and even in the corridor.
However, when she came back, she had carefully avoided the surveillance cameras. As far as she knew, the surveillance cameras in the classroom had been broken for two to three days.
If it weren’t for the fact that the surveillance cameras in the classroom were broken, she wouldn’t have dared to do such a thing.
Seeing that Ji Yao refused to admit it, Gu Xiao sneered in her heart and turned to leave the classroom. Seeing this, Chu An couldn’t bother with anything else and followed Gu Xiao, taking her broken fountain pen with him.
Ji Yao looked at Gu Xiao’s back and felt smug. She sat in her seat and continued to practice her questions.
Accompanied by Chu An, Gu Xiao found a teacher and requested to check yesterday’s surveillance footage.
Upon hearing Gu Xiao’s request, the teacher looked at Gu Xiao awkwardly.
“Gu Xiao, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but there’s really no such rule. No matter who it is, they can’t easily check the surveillance cameras. I can’t make the decision.”
Seeing that the teacher was in a difficult position, Gu Xiao did not insist. “Alright, I understand. Sorry to trouble you, Teacher.”
With that, she turned around and left..
