Chapter 297 Don't Be Afraid of Gossip
After a while, Jian Yue came back from the bathroom.
Seeing Zhuang Lian standing in his display area, he was a little confused.
"Jian Yue, you're back." Zhuang Lian's voice was a little anxious. "Something happened just now. You have to be careful."
Jian Yue looked at Zhuang Lian's nervous expression and was puzzled. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Zhuang Lian took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and continued, "When you went to the bathroom, Lin Meng sneaked into your display area. She had a pen in her hand, and it looked like she wanted to destroy your design."
As he spoke, he kept an eye on Jian Yue's expression, fearing that she might be too greatly shocked.
When Jian Yue heard what Zhuang Lian said, her eyes darkened, "What? How could Lin Meng do such a thing?"
I was really careless!
These things happened frequently in previous lives.
I was so busy and had so many things to do that I didn't pay attention to these things for a while.
Zhuang Lian looked serious and reminded, "I found her and stopped her in time. But you must be careful, she may do something else. Next time when you leave the display area, it's best to find someone to help watch over you."
Jian Yue nodded slightly, "Thank you, Zhuang Lian. If it weren't for you, my design would have been ruined."
Zhuang Lian shook his head slightly. "No need to thank me. I just did what I should do. You must pay more attention to Lin Meng and don't let her take advantage of you again."
Jian Yue and Zhuang Lian chatted for a while and then continued to prepare for the competition.
The competition entered the intense judging stage, and all the works were sealed in the exhibition hall, waiting for the final results to be announced.
During this waiting process, the contestants felt both nervous and expectant.
Jian Yue was no exception. She looked towards the exhibition hall from time to time, looking forward to her own work and feeling a little nervous about the outcome of the competition.
After all, some people are worried that their ideas are too avant-garde and people today cannot accept them.
At noon, Jian Yue found Zhuang Lian.
"Zhuang Lian, to thank you for helping me, I will treat you to lunch today."
Zhuang Lian was a little surprised, but soon smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, it's just a small favor."
Jian Yue smiled sweetly and insisted, "Of course you will. You have helped me so much, I must thank you."
At this time, Jian Yue and Zhuang Lian were standing at the entrance of the cafeteria discussing what to eat.
Not far away, several of Jian Yue's classmates came over chatting and laughing.
One of the sharp-eyed students noticed them first and immediately called on everyone else to look over here.
"Hey, isn't that Jian Yue and Zhuang Lian? What are they doing?"
Everyone looked over, and when they saw Jian Yue and Zhuang Lian standing together, they all smiled meaningfully.
Classmate B laughed and joked: "Hey, what are these two doing here? Is there something going on?"
As they walked closer while joking, they heard Jian Yue say that she wanted to treat Zhuang Lian to a meal.
Classmate C's eyes lit up, "Jian Yue, are you going to treat Zhuang Lian to a meal? We can't be left out."
Other students also echoed.
"That's right, how can you not take us with you for such a good event?" Classmate Ding also said with a smile.
Jian Yue looked at these lively classmates and smiled helplessly, "Okay, let's go together. It will be more lively with more people."
The classmates immediately cheered, "Haha, Jian Yue is so generous."
Zhuang Lian scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "This... This is so embarrassing."
Classmate A patted Zhuang Lian on the shoulder and said, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Jian Yue is treating us, let's have fun together."
Everyone was talking at once, and the atmosphere suddenly became more cheerful.
Jian Yue felt that this was better, as there was no need to worry about gossip when there were more people around.
Everyone found a seat in the cafeteria and started ordering food.
Jian Yue specially ordered some dishes that Zhuang Lian liked and kept asking for everyone's opinions.
The cafeteria was bustling with people coming and going, but their table was filled with laughter.
While eating, Jian Yue once again expressed her gratitude to Zhuang Lian.
"Zhuang Lian, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my work would have been wasted."
Zhuang Lian smiled a little embarrassedly, "Don't say that. I believe if someone else encountered this situation, they would do the same."
The classmates also praised Zhuang Lian for his bravery and integrity.
"Zhuang Lian, you are really amazing. Without you, Jian Yue's design would be ruined."
"Yes, Zhuang Lian, you are our role model."
Zhuang Lian blushed a little after being praised by everyone, and quickly waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, everyone, don't praise me like that."
They ate and chatted, and the topic ranged from the game to future dreams.
Jian Yue shared her love and pursuit of design.
Zhuang Lian also talked about his ideals and goals.
Everyone encouraged each other and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After dinner, everyone cleaned up the table together and returned to the classroom.
At this time, in a corner not far away, Lin Meng was looking at the harmonious scene with Jian Yue and the others, and she stomped her feet in anger.
His face was gloomy and his eyes were full of jealousy and anger.
People passed by from time to time, and when they saw her like this, they all showed strange looks in their eyes.
The news that she had just wanted to destroy Jian Yue's work seemed to have spread privately, and people looked at her with a bit of contempt and accusation.
Lin Meng bit her lip, her anger growing stronger.
He turned around and quickly left the bustling crowd and came to a secluded corner.
After a while, her little follower Zhang Qianqian came over.
Zhang Qianqian saw Lin Meng's expression and hurried over to her side. "Mengmeng, what's wrong with you? Who made you so angry?"
Lin Meng glared fiercely in the direction of Jian Yue and the others, gritting her teeth, "It's all because of that bitch Jian Yue! And that nosy guy Zhuang Lian!"
Zhang Qianqian followed Lin Meng's gaze and instantly understood the reason.
"Humph, what's so great about Jian Yue? She just designed something better. And that Zhuang Lian, why should we help her?"
Lin Meng frowned, looking unconvinced. "Her design wasn't that good, she just got lucky. If I had her luck, I would definitely do better than her."
Zhang Qianqian quickly agreed, "That's right, Mengmeng, you are much better than her. She just got lucky."
Zhang Qianqian took Lin Meng's arm and tried to comfort her.
Lin Meng continued to complain, "She even invited Zhuang Lian to dinner, and brought so many people with her, as if she was very popular."
Zhang Qianqian pouted: "She just likes to be in the spotlight and wants everyone to revolve around her. Mengmeng, we can't just let it go like this, we have to think of a way to punish her."
Lin Meng's eyes lit up, but she hesitated again: "But now everyone knows that I want to destroy her work. Will it be bad if I do something else?"
Zhang Qianqian disagreed, "Why are you afraid? We don't have any evidence. We can find an opportunity to secretly trip her up."
Zhang Qianqian leaned close to Lin Meng and whispered her plan.
