Chapter 2771 The Online Game Master's "Straight Male" Roommate 11

"Are you sick?! Are you a pervert?! Why did you lie to me?!" Hua Yu and Xu Qian confronted each other.

Xu Qian was exposed in public, his face turning red and white in turns. He felt extremely uncomfortable, especially when he felt the surprised, disdainful, or amused looks from his classmates.

Enraged, he shoved Cheng Lang's hand off his shoulder and stood up. "Cheng Lang, what do you mean by this! Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?!"

Cheng Lang is usually all smiles, warm and cheerful, but at this moment his face was expressionless, his eyes were cold, and he completely overwhelmed Xu Qian in height and aura, giving off a sense of oppression that was rare in his usual life.

"When you replaced the post and threw mud at me, did you not think about how embarrassed I would be?" Cheng Lang said.

Hua Yu raised her hand and slapped Xu Qian across the face. "You shameless bastard! You impersonated Cheng Lang and started an online relationship with me, and I haven't even said goodbye yet, and you dare to cheat on me in the game!"

"Holy crap..." Xu Can stared in disbelief, silently pulling out his phone and pointing it at the scene.

The students around them, who were pretending to be busy, also raised their phones to record the beautiful friendship between classmates.

Xu Qian's head was turned to the side after being hit, his face burning. The surrounding cell phone cameras made him feel even more ashamed and furious.

He cursed under his breath, then suddenly reached out and shoved Hua Yu's shoulder hard. "Whose fault is it that you're stupid! You have the worst temper and the most problems of anyone else. You're so suspicious and paranoid. I've never seen a man more difficult and fussy than you!"

Hua Yu was already weak, and he pushed her so hard that she staggered back several steps, bumping into the desk next to her. Her face turned even paler, and she clutched her chest, her breathing becoming rapid.

Xu Qian grabbed his schoolbag from the table, his face flushed red like a pig's liver. Amidst whispers and the sounds of cell phones taking pictures, he lowered his head and hurriedly rushed out of the classroom, fleeing in panic.

Hua Yu leaned against the desk to catch her breath before raising her teary eyes to look at Cheng Lang again, her voice trembling with tears, "Senior Cheng, I really don't know, I shouldn't have treated you like that in the game... I like you, from the first time I saw you... Can you... please..."

"Alright." Cheng Lang interrupted him, getting goosebumps from the heartfelt confession.

"I'm straight, so stop saying these disgusting things. This whole thing has nothing to do with me. Now that the truth is out, let's keep to ourselves."

He really didn't want to stay in the classroom any longer, being treated like a monkey by his classmates of four years.

“But…” Hua Yu was unwilling to give up and wanted to say something more.

Knock, knock——

A knock came at the classroom door, breaking the somewhat tense situation.

The upperclassmen, whose gossip had been interrupted, looked over in disbelief, wondering who was so inconsiderate as to disturb their gossip. But when they saw the person at the door, their interest was instantly rekindled.

A senior student near the front gate chuckled and teased, "Oh, the junior is here to pick up Cheng Lang again?"

Cheng Lang is a staunch advocate of the "Sending Warmth" campaign. Whenever the two of them can find time at school, he will definitely go out with Jin Chen, eat together, and go home together.

Jin Chen's exceptionally striking face made it impossible for anyone not to remember her, and her classmates had long since become accustomed to it, often making teasing remarks behind her back.

Jin Chen, wearing a coat and a scarf in the same color as Cheng Lang's coat, stood at the door and looked at Hua Yu, whose eyes were red, before returning to Cheng Lang's face.

"What happened?" Jin Chen walked into the classroom.

Hua Yu was also taken aback when she saw him, clearly not expecting to run into him here. "Jin Chen?"

He instinctively exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Chen looked at Hua Yu, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Does the protagonist know me?" he asked Zero Rolling in his mind.

Zero Rolling: [This wasn't mentioned, Host. After all, your character is just a background character; they didn't write about it in that much detail.]

Perhaps Jin Chen's doubts were too obvious, because Hua Yu's lips twitched, and she added somewhat awkwardly, "We're classmates..."

Jin Chen suddenly realized and nodded slightly, "Ah, I see."

No wonder there was always one person missing during roll call after so long since school started; it turns out this was the protagonist who's been on leave for years. What a tragic fate.

The two younger students actually know each other! They're even classmates!

Several female students with vivid imaginations exchanged glances, then all looked at Cheng Lang, the center of the storm.

Jin Chen stopped looking at Hua Yu and walked straight to Cheng Lang, asking again, "Senior, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, a bunch of messy stuff, but it's all been resolved!" Cheng Lang instinctively didn't want Jin Chen to get involved in these messy things, so he turned to pick up the laptop bag on the table. "Have you been waiting long? Let's go, didn't we agree to try that new restaurant today?"

Before he could finish speaking, Hua Yu suddenly grabbed his arm from the side.

"Senior Cheng!" Hua Yu said urgently, "I have something else to tell you, please let me finish, okay? It'll only take a few minutes!"

Cheng Lang frowned, about to shake him off.

A hand with distinct knuckles reached out first and steadily pulled Cheng Lang's wrist out of Hua Yu's hand.

Jin Chen grasped Cheng Lang's wrist, their skin touching. Cheng Lang felt the coolness of Jin Chen's fingertips, so he gripped his wrist tightly in return.

Jin Chen subtly positioned himself between Cheng Lang and Hua Yu, a faint smile playing on his lips as his gaze met Hua Yu's.

In that instant, Hua Yu saw a sharp glint in Jin Chen's usually aloof and distant eyes, devoid of any smile, even bordering on a warning. It was so sudden that it seemed like an illusion, yet it sent a chill down Hua Yu's spine, and he subconsciously took a small step back.

Jin Chen then turned around, wrapped the cashmere scarf around Cheng Lang's neck, and carefully tied it for him.

“Senior,” Jin Chen tied her scarf and looked up at Cheng Lang, “if you still have things to take care of, we can go to the restaurant tomorrow.”

“That won’t do.” Cheng Lang shook his head, slung his laptop bag over one shoulder, and pulled him toward the door.

"You really wanted to go to that restaurant today, but what's the point of going tomorrow? Let's go, I'm starving."

Hua Yu stood there watching the two walk away side by side, their backs gazing intimately at each other. She opened her mouth, but a surge of resentment and unspoken words stuck in her throat, making her fingertips tremble with anger.

Cheng Lang is nothing like the straight man he described!

Xu Can put away his phone, clicked his tongue, watched the two people disappear through the door, then looked at the dejected Hua Yu, shook his head, picked up his bag, and left.

This gossip was truly full of ups and downs, and left a lasting impression.
