Chapter 39

It is said that Gu Wen, being the physical education representative of the class, only hid her underwear and panties in the bathroom bag, then hurriedly ran downstairs to prepare to lead the exercises on the playground. Unfortunately, she just happened to run into Cao Zhe, who was coming out of his house. He was the class president, and although he lived in the faculty dormitory, he insisted on running every day. This was the perfect time for it.

"Gu Wen?"

"Morning! I'll go first!"

"Wait, let's go together." Cao Zhe quickened his pace to catch up with Gu Wen. "Why are you coming down from upstairs? Did you sleep here last night?"

"No, no, I just went to wake someone up! Wake someone up..." Gu Wen was already a bit out of breath from running down the stairs, and Cao Zhe's questioning made her face even redder. She avoided looking at Cao Zhe, not knowing why she felt guilty. After all, Cao Zhe wasn't her anything, and he wasn't even in her class!

Seeing Gu Wen stammering and blushing, Cao Zhe became even more suspicious. "Did you go to wake up Ding Hao?"

"Um..." Gu Wen's voice became even softer. How did Cao Zhe know everything?

Cao Zhe felt something was off. If it was just about waking someone up, why was Gu Wen so nervous? Besides, Ding Hao, that bastard, never ran. Why would he get up so early? And why would Gu Wen go to wake him up? Could it be... A sense of foreboding welled up in Cao Zhe!

He then stepped forward and grabbed Gu Wen. "Did you sleep in Ding Hao's room last night?"

"Let go! You're hurting me!" Gu Wen panicked. What was wrong with this guy? Early in the morning, how did he know everything? Could he have followed her last night? Cao Zhe liked her, and Gu Wen knew it. Could he really be a stalker like those in TV shows?

"Is it true? Did you sleep at Ding Hao's place last night?"

"What's it to you where I slept? You're crazy!" Gu Wen struggled to break free from Cao Zhe and then ran quickly to the playground.

"Ding Hao, you bastard!" Cao Zhe's heart was bleeding, his fists tightly clenched. This time, he didn't chase after Gu Wen but turned to run to Ding Hao's rental house. Cao Zhe was completely enraged. Initially, when he pursued Xia Lin, if not for Ding Hao's interference, he might have had a chance. Fine, he could have Xia Lin, but he would pursue Gu Wen!

Cao Zhe shifted his focus from Xia Lin to Gu Wen, taking a long time to convince himself. Although Gu Wen hadn't agreed to be his girlfriend yet, Cao Zhe felt very hopeful! Now, Gu Wen had actually slept with Ding Hao! What did this mean? They weren't even in the same class and rarely interacted. Why would Gu Wen spend the night in Ding Hao's room...

The more Cao Zhe thought, the colder his heart became, and his hatred for Ding Hao deepened! This bastard, eating from the bowl and hogging the pot, was too much! Cao Zhe ran as fast as he could, thinking about some details from the past. The more he thought, the more he believed it was true! Ding Hao must have been cohabiting with Gu Wen. It seemed that Gu Wen often followed Xia Lin to Ding Hao's place. So, they were openly building a road while secretly tunneling!

Cao Zhe ran very fast, wanting to see what was happening in Ding Hao's room as soon as possible!

Knock, knock, knock, knock... Ding Hao had just managed to see Gu Wen off when there was another urgent knock on the door. Ding Hao didn't want to answer, but the knocking continued. He was afraid that Gu Wen might have left something behind, and it wouldn't be good to disturb the neighbors early in the morning. He had to get up and open the door.

"Cao Zhe?" Ding Hao rubbed his sleepy eyes, looking at the class president in disbelief. Since losing the bet last time, Cao Zhe had been more subdued, and Ding Hao had had little interaction with him. As long as he didn't harass Xia Lin, Ding Hao didn't care if he was the class president. What was going on today? Was he here to call him for the run?

Cao Zhe's heart sank even more at Ding Hao's appearance. Gu Wen said she came to wake him up, but this bastard didn't look like he was already up. Cao Zhe ignored Ding Hao and rushed into the room, heading straight for Ding Hao's bedroom...

"Hey, what's going on?" Ding Hao was frustrated. What was this guy's problem?

Clearly, Cao Zhe was looking for evidence that Gu Wen had spent the night there! Soon, he found what he was looking for. Besides the slippers Ding Hao was wearing, there was another pair of red slippers in front of the bed! A woman's! And there was no other woman in the bed. From the position of the slippers, it was clear they had been taken off after getting up! And there was Gu Wen's bag in the bathroom. Cao Zhe became even more convinced that Gu Wen had spent the night there!

"Ding Hao, you bastard!" Cao Zhe was furious!

"Hey, what's going on early in the morning?"

"I'm asking you, did Gu Wen spend the night here last night?"

"How do you know?" Ding Hao regretted saying it as soon as he did. Could this guy be here because of that?

"Bastard!" Cao Zhe threw a punch. Ding Hao, of course, couldn't let him hit him. Although Cao Zhe was fat, he wasn't as tall as Ding Hao, and in a real fight, he wasn't a match for Ding Hao. Besides, with the magic space, Ding Hao had become very agile. He dodged Cao Zhe's punch and grabbed his wrist.

"Crazy, what are you doing?" Ding Hao had no idea why Cao Zhe was so angry. Wasn't Gu Wen in Class 208? She shouldn't have been late for the run! How did this crazy guy know she spent the night here? Not good! This guy wouldn't think...

"I'll fight you to the death!" Cao Zhe was really desperate. Gu Wen was the motivation for his life in the next six months, and now she had been slept with by Ding Hao!

"What's your problem?" Despite being prepared, Ding Hao didn't expect Cao Zhe to come to fight to the death. His calf was kicked by Cao Zhe. Ding Hao quickly pushed Cao Zhe away and jumped to the side. Cao Zhe, not giving up, picked up a book and threw it at Ding Hao.

"Enough! What's your problem early in the morning?"

"Am I crazy? You bastard, I gave Xia Lin to you, why are you still hogging Gu Wen?"

"Rubbish, who's hogging Gu Wen?"

"Even if it's voluntary, it's not allowed!" Cao Zhe didn't stop, and Ding Hao was also angry. He and Gu Wen had nothing, and even if they did, it was mutual. What business was it of Cao Zhe's?

Seeing Cao Zhe's persistence, Ding Hao picked up the book Cao Zhe had thrown and said, "Get out, or I won't be gentle!"

"Damn, I'll kill you, you bastard!" Cao Zhe squatted down, picked up a stool from beside the sofa, and threw it at Ding Hao.

Ding Hao saw that this bastard was really going to fight to the death! He tried to dodge Cao Zhe, but the room was small, and there was nowhere to hide. Cao Zhe, like an angry bull, kept attacking Ding Hao!

Finally, Ding Hao couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed the stool from Cao Zhe, then kicked him in the stomach, sending Cao Zhe sprawling. Cao Zhe, unable to dodge, hit his forehead on the sofa, and blood started to flow.

"Damn, if you don't get out, I won't be gentle. Even Yu Feng and four others couldn't beat me, who do you think you are?" Ding Hao knew he couldn't continue, as Cao Zhe wasn't like Yu Feng. Beating Yu Feng was fine, but if Cao Zhe got hurt, he'd have to pay the medical bills!

"You wait!" After lying on the ground for a while, Cao Zhe seemed to calm down. This was Ding Hao's territory! What Ding Hao said was true; even Yu Feng and four others couldn't do anything to him. If he continued, he would only lose. So, he got up and slammed the door as he left.

Although his forehead was bleeding, Cao Zhe didn't feel it. His heart was the most painful! His heart was bleeding! How could a good girl like Gu Wen be slept with by Ding Hao? The pain of losing a wife!

Cao Zhe didn't know how he got home. His mother opened the door and, seeing her son bleeding from the forehead after a run, thought he had fallen. When she asked, it turned out he had been in a fight with a classmate! This woman was furious and shouted to the inner room, "Old Cao, get up, your son has been beaten!"

"Mom, I'm fine!" Cao Zhe was guilty. His father was the deputy head of the school, and he was usually strict with him. He couldn't let him know. But his mother wouldn't let it go and kept asking. Cao Zhe had to lie, saying that Ding Hao had been caught in the act and had attacked him out of anger...

"Old Cao, you have to do something! High school students are cohabiting, and when caught, they attack!"

"Alright, I know. I'll look into it." Cao Zhe's father, being a leader, had already gotten up while Cao Zhe was narrating the incident. But he knew his son well and suspected he wasn't telling the truth.

"Why are you always like this? That girl is your son's girlfriend! You can't ignore this!"

"Rubbish, how old are they? They should focus on their studies, not on early love. What boyfriend, girlfriend, I think he deserves a beating!"

"Old Cao, that girl is really good, we can't let Ding Hao have her so easily. Is your son okay? Should I take you to the hospital for a check-up?" Seeing her son not responding, Cao Zhe's mother became even more worried, afraid he had been badly hurt by Ding Hao.

Cao Zhe was guilty, not expecting his mother to reveal his early love so quickly. He was afraid his father would explode, so he didn't speak. This made his mother even more anxious: "No, Old Cao, this can't be left like this. My son is injured, and Ding Hao dared to hit the son of a school leader. Is there no law? Son, sit down, I'll call the police and have that bastard arrested!"

"..." The two men, seeing the woman about to call the police, shook their heads. But Cao Zhe's mother didn't stop and really called the police. Cao Zhe was a bit guilty, but after his mother's analysis, he agreed. Early love was a school issue, but assault was a public security issue. Even if the school didn't expel Ding Hao, the police wouldn't let him off easily!
