The school held three Physical Education classes every week to build the students’ physical fitness, and these sessions were essentially set in stone.
Compared to most schools that professionally hired weak and sickly PE teachers, this school was much more honorable; the teachers were all healthy humans.
Of course, this was not due to a sudden spark of conscience from the administration.
To put it bluntly, it was profitable.
During PE, students were encouraged to buy various training props through a unified shopping system.
It was entirely “voluntary,” and the school would never force anyone.
Aside from being forced to stand for the entire class if you did not buy the designated supplies, there were no other downsides…
The most frustrating part was that the school was equipped with two changing rooms for men and women.
This provided a place to change clothes during the day since students were not allowed back in the dorms.
According to the regulations, everyone had to wear sports uniforms for PE, which were usually stored in individual private lockers.
Conveniently, everyone was charged a five-yuan storage fee every month.
To collect these fees, the school racked its brains — they probably wished they could collect the fees for the next ninety years right now!
The first class this afternoon was PE.
To prepare in advance, many people went to change early and then found a spot on the playground to chat until class officially started.
After finishing his meal, Guo Ming followed the others to the changing room.
He planned to change into his extra-large sports uniform and continue “polishing” his manuscript masterpiece.
To his surprise, something went wrong.
When he opened his locker, it was stuffed to the brim.
He pulled the items out to check.
Aside from his sports uniform, there was an Alice cosplay outfit and a wig inside.
Just as he was feeling confused, a student nearby screamed in terror.
According to statements from female victims, the perverted flasher had been wearing this exact cosplay outfit and wig while committing his crimes.
With these items appearing in Guo Ming’s locker, he was caught red-handed with the loot and immediately branded as the culprit.
“Ah!!!”
“Stop hitting me!! I’m really not that pervert! Everyone, believe me!”
At that moment, the guy had just rushed out of the changing room only to be cornered and pummeled.
He wailed and pleaded for mercy.
The news quickly reached the girls’ side.
More and more people surrounded Guo Ming, all of them filled with righteous indignation.
“You guy, you usually look like a pervert anyway. I didn’t expect you to actually go and flash people!”
“I knew it! How could anyone hanging around Gu Chen be a good person?”
“Everyone, beat this pervert to death! Rid the school of this pest!”
Now that they had a legitimate reason, everyone could finally let loose.
They couldn’t deal with Gu Chen, but couldn’t they deal with his lackey?
If it weren’t for his high defensive stats, Guo Ming probably would have been beaten into a pig’s head by now.
The crowd continued to rain a flurry of fists and feet down on him.
“Everyone, get out of the way!”
Suddenly, a loud roar came from behind them.
Gu Chen stood behind the crowd, his face masked in fury.
His expression was terrifying.
The students were so startled that they scrambled to make a path.
None of them dared to continue their antics, falling as silent as cicadas in winter…
“Big Brother, you’re finally here to save me!”
Seeing his savior, Guo Ming stood up with tears in his eyes.
“What kind of outrageous thing did you do this time to get so many people to beat you?” Gu Chen asked irritably.
The guy deserved a beating, but he was still Gu Chen’s subordinate in name.
He couldn’t let others bully his person as they pleased.
He had to figure things out first.
If the guy truly deserved it, there would be no need to stop them — Gu Chen might even go up and add a couple of kicks himself.
Guo Ming brushed the dust off his clothes and recounted the incident with a miserable face.
“You said an Alice cosplay outfit and a wig appeared in your locker?”
Gu Chen grew suspicious after learning the truth.
After all, he knew the guy.
Guo Ming was vulgar, but he still had a certain bottom line.
He really wouldn’t do something like that.
“Yeah, I don’t know who put them in there to frame me.”
Guo Ming nodded like a chicken pecking at grain.
“Move aside. What’s going on?”
At this time, Tang Ziya and Wang Meng also rushed over.
Seeing the chaotic scene, they had likely heard a summary of what happened on their way.
“The Class Monitor is here!”
“That’s great! Class Monitor, we caught the perverted flasher. It’s Guo Ming! We just found these things in his locker. All the evidence is right here!”
Seeing someone to back them up, the others regained their confidence.
One of them held up the evidence for her to see, looking very certain.
‘This woman certainly won’t let this go,’ Gu Chen thought to himself, sensing trouble.
The last time, she had grabbed a weapon and charged into his dorm room looking for blood.
Wouldn’t she grind Guo Ming’s bones into ash on the spot this time?
While everyone waited for Tang Ziya’s order, she didn’t react.
She looked Guo Ming up and down.
Shaking her head, she said, “The pervert isn’t Guo Ming. You’ve got the wrong person.”
“What!?”
Gu Chen hadn’t expected her to say something like that.
She hadn’t been this reasonable with him last time!
“Class Monitor, why do you say it’s not him?” someone immediately questioned.
“That pervert… Wang and I… *cough*… I saw him with my own eyes. His body shape is completely different from Guo Ming’s. It shouldn’t be the same person.”
Tang Ziya almost exposed Wang Meng but quickly changed her words.
Moreover, her analysis was perfectly sound.
Guo Ming’s body type was too distinct.
One could recognize him at a glance; if it were really him, he would have been identified long ago.
The crowd looked at each other.
Since the Class Monitor was personally testifying, it was likely true.
“Exactly! This thing obviously isn’t mine.”
Guo Ming nodded aggrievedly.
He even picked up the Alice leather outfit and tried to pull it over himself.
As it turned out, he couldn’t even pull the zipper up.
It was clearly not the same size.
It was obvious someone had intentionally placed it there to frame him.
Once the truth was revealed, the students who had attacked him looked embarrassed.
“Not bad, Class Monitor. You’re quite calm this time. If only you had these brains when you were wrongly accusing me before, that would have been great,” Gu Chen couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up, his expression unreadable.
“You!!”
Tang Ziya was somewhat infuriated but could not refute him.
It was precisely because she had wrongly accused Gu Chen before that she didn’t dare to be so impulsive now, choosing instead to calmly analyze the result first.
“Since things… are cleared up, it’s just a misunderstanding.”
One of the students chimed in weakly, trying to gloss it over.
“A misunderstanding?”
Gu Chen wasn’t about to give them face.
He said coldly, “Everyone who raised a hand just now, apologize to Guo Ming. Then, slap yourselves in the face!”
“What?”
“Gu Chen, aren’t you being a bit too…”
Tang Ziya’s eyes widened.
“Too much? Why didn’t you think it was too much when you were wrongly accusing Guo Ming? You act like messengers of justice when judging others, but when you realize you’ve wronged someone, you want to act like nothing happened? There’s no such cheap deal in this world. If you won’t do it, then I’ll do it myself.”
Gu Chen interrupted her, his voice ringing with authority.
The crowd looked troubled.
They could only look at Tang Ziya, hoping she would speak up for them.
But she didn’t have the face to say anything, so she simply pulled Wang Meng along and left.
With no one to back them up, those who had attacked could only apologize as requested.
One by one, they looked as if they were the ones who had suffered a great grievance.
They almost said: “We only did it out of the goodness of our hearts because we wanted to catch that pervert.”
“Big Brother, you’re the best!”
Guo Ming finally felt vindicated, moved to tears and snot.
“Stop crying. You’re acting like a girl. What exactly happened? Why would that dead pervert stuff those things in your locker?”
Gu Chen scolded with a face full of disgust.
“How should I know?”
Guo Ming was equally frustrated.
He muttered under his breath, “If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have swapped lockers with you.”
