Chapter 47.2
by shae.The poster shared several photos of Jiang Zhihuo on the lawn.
He was squatting on the ground, making gestures, looking up at the sky, then down to record, chasing after the shot put, and helping to pick up the ball.
Even though they were just photos taken with a cellphone, every one of them was so handsome that girls were screaming and couldn’t help wanting to do a 360-degree spinning sit-up, aaaaaaahhh.
In the past few days, a lot of students from Qixing High School and Huanglun Qiao School have flooded into the No. 1 High School forum. The number of active users hit a new record, and the speed of replies shot up. Before long, the forum turned into a skyscraper of messages.
12th comment: My God, Qixing High School reporting. Does this kind of handsome man really exist?!
13th comment: Not only does this type exist, but No. 1 High School even has two of them!,
25th comment: Damn, waiting for contact information!
27th comment: I totally agree that this guy should take part in Pick U 101. I’m definitely going to rally all my relatives and friends to vote for him! He’s just too handsome!
35th comment: Hahahaha! Is Huo-ge about to become the most handsome guy in the whole school?! Everyone, everyone, this hot guy is Jiang Zhihuo from Class 1 of our third senior year! The school bully Jiang! And there’s a CP thread [link] Sisters, come and ship them!
46th comment: Damn, just finished fangirling over the ship! This divine romance, and the other guy is insanely handsome too!! Is it still not too late to get into this?
59th comment: There’s still time! Hahahaha, the CP fandom is growing again! Why do I feel the joy of seeing my ‘son’ go viral? Hahaha.
The girls in the forum quickly bonded over one post. Friendships between girls are so simple! Hot guys! Hot guys! Couples! Couples! If we have the same interests, we’re like sisters! If you create content topics, you’re like the mommy!
Even the old post from the year they first entered high school was brought back up.
This was actually posted by a graduated senior.
At the freshman orientation for high school, a group of fresh-faced freshmen, just out of junior school, gathered together. A senior with a keen eye quickly spotted two incredibly hot guys in the crowd.
[Damn, these are this year’s freshmen! Too handsome!!]
After the old post was dug up, it attracted a wave of screaming.
203rd comment: Damn, so fresh1[T/N: In slang, usually means something or someone is cute, inexperienced, or adorably fresh, often with a bit of teasing.]!!
204th comment: The senior took the photo so well! My God, really so fresh and handsome!
205th comment: I think they’re hotter now; there’s just something about mature boys that I can’t resist.
206th comment: Agree with the person above, but I also really like those two hot guys in their first year of senior high school! I really want to pinch their cheeks!
Right in the forum, amid the frenzy over the two super handsome guys from No. 1 High School, under every hot post, an anonymous user suddenly dropped a long message, pouring a cold bucket of water over everyone’s excitement.
Anonymous user: Haha, girls, stop shipping them. I don’t know about the guy on the left, but that Jiang Zhihuo guy… his character is really questionable. He’s gay, you know?
His private life, tsk, tsk, who knows if it’s good or not? Anyway, I witnessed him force his ex-boyfriend to jump off a building.
By the way, does anyone know? He’s actually an omega. I spent a lot of time reading through posts, and it seems like everyone thinks he’s an alpha.
You’ve been deceived, girls. Open your eyes wide!
– Are you sick?
– Jealous?
– Ignore this person; they’re just jealous. I’m not trying to stir up gender wars, but some regular guys are just so… regular, yet so confident. What’s wrong with us appreciating good looks?
– What’s it to you? Are you trying to spread negativity because you’re jealous?
– That’s the thing. You need to be responsible for what you say. Don’t assume you can just say anything you want because you’re anonymous. The internet isn’t above the law. Back up your words with evidence!
Anonymous user: Editing, wait a moment, girls.
The girls in the forum sprayed2[T/N: Meaning trash talk with someone.] the anonymous user who slandered without evidence with a barrage of insults.
However, five minutes later, a new post was pushed up to the top of the page.
[Let’s uncover the unknown past of the so-called school popular guy.]
Wow, this gossip headline is so outdated.
The girls smiled, eager to see what kind of nonsense this anonymous user would come up with.
Everyone was taken aback when they clicked on the post.
Anonymous user: Since everyone doesn’t believe me, I’ve put together some evidence, including pictures, audio, and chat records. I’ll share them slowly; everyone can take a good look.
Anonymous user: Oh yeah, just to cover my butt in case I get flamed, let me add a disclaimer: everything in this post is [rumour!] As for whether it’s true or not, well, that’s up to you guys to decide.
Anonymous user: [Regarding me saying Jiang Zhihuo is gay.]
Jiang Zhihuo and I went to the same junior high school. You can ask around if anyone nearby graduated from No. 9 Junior High School.
Back then, was there a rumor going around that Jiang Zhihuo and Zhu You from Class 2 of the second junior year were hooking up?
P.S. Zhu You are at Huanglun Qiao High School now. I checked Huanglun Qiao’s posts, and it looks like he came out3[T/N: It means someone openly shares a personal truth, especially about their sexual orientation or gender identity. Like, “He came out as gay.”] to his classmates directly?
This guy’s orientation is obvious, so if Jiang Zhihuo gets involved with him, do you really think Jiang Zhihuo can stay clean?
3rd comment: I’m from Huanglun Qiao, Zhu You did come out, so what? He’s very cute. Playing with him means we’re gay? What’s wrong with being gay? Are you trying to stir up trouble and cause conflict?
4th comment: That’s right, does hanging out with a gay guy make a guy gay too? So if a girl is walking with a guy, does that mean they’re together? The OP’s prejudice is too much!
Anonymous user: I haven’t finished posting yet, don’t rush.
Anonymous user: You say being gay is not wrong; fine, believe whatever you want, but he forced someone to jump off a building. I have a recording. How do you plan to justify that?
[Audio 1] [Audio 2] [Audio 3]
This anonymous user uploaded three audio clips, each only a dozen or so seconds long.
First clip: “Don’t force me; I’m really about to jump. I can’t stand you anymore; I just can’t hold it in!!”
“Calm down, it’s my fault, Zhu You, it’s my fault, please don’t go any further!”
Second clip: “It’s all your fault! You’ve messed up my life! I like guys, so what?! None of your damn business! Why the hell are you torturing me like this?! Damn gay, right?! I’ll die right in front of you! I’m jumping off here, and I’ll f*cking haunt you forever!!”
Third clip: “Don’t want me to jump… Fine then, Zhihuo-ge, be my boyfriend. Be with me. Accept me. Didn’t you say it didn’t matter? … Liar! Liar! Liar! Bullsh*t acceptance! Stop lying to me! How could that even be possible?! I can’t even accept myself!! Aaaahhh, hahahahahaha!!”
Everyone who listened to the recording. “……”
Since there was no video accompanying the audio, it was not possible to see who was speaking. However, the first recording mentioned ‘Zhu You,’ while the last one mentioned ‘Zhihuo-ge,’ With only two voices in the recordings, it could be concluded that Jiang Zhihuo and Zhu You were the ones having the conversation.
19th comment: Is this real?
20th comment: It’s not necessarily true; it may have been edited. Can the OP post the complete recording? That’s unclear, isn’t it? The second paragraph may have been directed at someone else?
21st comment: Agree, agree, the OP should release the complete recording.
Before the recording was released, in the first few posts, everyone was still rationally following the drama, urging the anonymous user to release the complete recording.
But soon, different opinions appeared.
36th comment: Why bother releasing the full recording? Isn’t this enough proof?
37th comment: Why would someone say such mentally unstable things if they’re not being forced to the point of jumping off a building?
38th comment: Agree with the comment above; this is clearly PUA4[T/N: This is often used to describe manipulative and abusive behavior.]! He claims to accept him, yet he throws all kinds of insults and negative terms, even calling him ‘damn gay.’ You can clearly hear it in the second part! Sisters, don’t let good looks fool you. Just because someone’s handsome doesn’t mean they’re a good person. Isn’t there enough online PUA going around these days?!
39th comment: That’s disgusting, I’m gonna throw up. I asked a classmate from Huanglun Qiao, Zhu You, who is now a freshman in the first senior year. Shouldn’t he be in the same grade as Jiang Zhihuo? If nothing really happened between them, why would he drop out of school for two years? What did he do in these two years?
40th comment: Shh… you dare to say that about Huo-ge? Back then, he was the type to beat someone up and force them to transfer schools, so I wouldn’t dare say anything bad about him.
41st comment: So this is actually true… I have a classmate who graduated from No. 9 Junior High School, and she told me a couple of years ago that Jiang Zhihuo from No. 1 High School is gay, and even forced someone to jump off a building… I was also wondering how that could be possible. If something that big really happened, it would definitely have blown up already. Seeing what the person on the 40th comment said, it might have been suppressed by him.
56th comment: No way, Huo-ge wouldn’t be that kind of person.
57th comment: Are you still judging people by their looks? There are tons of handsome guys with awful personalities.
78th comment: Got any proof that things are being covered up? Don’t go making accusations without evidence.
79th comment: You still want proof? How do you think someone with his grades could get into the top high school? Why can’t I get in? Besides cheating, the only explanation is that someone has strong connections, right??
The rhythm of the entire thread was suddenly driven by these few comments. The previously wavering onlookers, after seeing these comments, had their emotions swayed and were drawn into the narrative of ‘Jiang Zhihuo using PUA on an innocent homosexual student, driving him to jump off a building, and then using his connections to force the student to drop out.’
Anonymous user: Here’s another piece of evidence about the homosexual thing that I came across by chance. Take a look.

These three photos were taken through a very dusty glass window. They show two boys kissing in an equipment room. Due to the angle, the other person’s face couldn’t be seen, only Jiang Zhihuo’s profile.
This side profile was so recognizable, any girl from No. 1 High School could recognize him at a glance.
Everyone: “…….”
Anonymous User: [About me saying Jiang Zhihuo is an omega pretending to be an alpha.]
[Image] [Image] [Image]
I came across this by chance; nothing much to say. The photos are here; take a look for yourselves.
It was still the same equipment room, and in the photo, another guy whose face couldn’t be seen clearly was injecting a syringe into Jiang Zhihuo’s neck.
No doubt about it, only an inhibitor would be injected in a place like that!
Only omegas need to get inhibitor injections!!
And judging by this, he had been injecting for a while now!
Anonymous user: Do you want me to say anything else? Girls, you’ve been deceived. What handsome guy? Isn’t he just a PUA and a total liar?
During the sports meet, there were no classes, and the gossip protagonist happened to be quite famous as the school bully; thus, the news spread like wildfire.
When he saw the post, Jiang Zhihuo was having a meal and nearly spat out his soup.
“?????”
There were four people sitting at the table. They were Jiang Zhihuo, Yan Mu, Zong Bei, and Xie Qiu.
They heard Jiang Zhihuo and Yan Mu were going out for a meal, and Xie Qiu and Zong Bei, worried they might start fighting, were tagging along whether they liked it or not.
Hence, the dinner for two became dinner for four.
Zong Bei was the first one to see the post. That guy loved messing around on the forum when he was bored, and he was the one who originally showed Jiang Zhihuo the CP thread.
“Huo-ge, Huo-ge, Huo-ge!” Zong Bei frantically shook Jiang Zhihuo’s shoulders. “I forwarded the post to you; hurry up and look at it!!!”
Jiang Zhihuo finished reading through the whole thread, feeling incredulous. “What the heck? Very talented.”
That anonymous poster was extremely talented.
How did they manage to twist black and white so convincingly?!
Seeing that something was wrong, Xie Qiu quickly ran through the thread and looked totally bewildered. “Is this true, Huo-ge? You emotionally manipulated a pure-hearted little guy, forced him to jump off a building, and even got into a fight, then used your connections to force the guy who fought you to drop out??”
Jiang Zhihuo: “?”
Jiang Zhihuo: “You believe that?”
Xie Qiu said frankly, “Damn, the evidence in the thread is too solid. See the #Jiang Zhihuo is a total liar# tag hanging over my head? I’m actually starting to believe it! Explain it to me quickly!”
Jiang Zhihuo: “……”
The anonymous poster updated again, and Xie Qiu lowered his head and continued scrolling through the thread.
Zong Bei had heard this rumor a long time ago and stayed pretty calm, quickly pinpointing the issue. “Wait, who posted this? Who have you fought with? I only know about He Xiezhou. Didn’t he drop out later?”
Zong Bei: “So this thread was posted by He Xiezhou?”
Jiang Zhihuo agreed with the guess. “That’s the only possibility. Damn it, he did everything, then tried to pin the blame on me.”
Zong Bei: “Ah?”
Jiang Zhihuo tapped into his phone’s cloud storage, scrolling down like crazy. “He thinks he has the audio and I don’t?? Heh.”
Good thing he had the foresight to secretly record the video after beating the guy up back then, otherwise he’d be completely screwed now, with no way to clear his name.
The video was from three years ago. Jiang Zhihuo identified the time and quickly found it. He downloaded it, and just then, Yan Mu, who hadn’t said a word until now, said, “Give me the video.”
“Ah? What for? I want to turn the tide.”
Yan Mu: “I’ll help you.”
Just as he finished saying that, Xie Qiu let out a strange scream, his phone slipped from the table, and he stared blankly at Jiang Zhihuo and Yan Mu.
Zong Bei: “?”
Zong Bei: “What’s wrong?”
Xie Qiu trembled as he handed his phone to Zong Bei.
Zong Bei hadn’t seen the later posts earlier. After taking a quick look, he reacted exactly like Xie Qiu, letting out a shout of surprise, his face full of shock.
It took him a good while to find his voice. “Huo-ge, are you… an omega?”
Jiang Zhihuo: “……”
Xie Qiu: “Yan-ge, are you and Huo-ge… together? You guys were in the equipment room… kissing?????”
Yan Mu: “…….”
Jiang Zhihuo grabbed Xie Qiu’s phone and quickly scrolled through the rest of the post.
“There were people near the equipment room at that time?! And they even took pictures!! Damn?!” Jiang Zhihuo’s forehead veins bulged one by one.
He never mentioned this before because he was worried that explaining it wouldn’t be clear and might cause misunderstandings. Never thought it would come out like this now???
Zong Bei’s pupils dilated. “No way, Huo-ge, your reaction… is it actually true?”
The atmosphere at the table became very awkward.
It was dinner time, and the restaurant was packed. Every table was full of students who were there to watch the sports meet at No. 1 High School.
Not sure who recognized Jiang Zhihuo first, but in an instant, everyone turned to look at their table, whispering among themselves.
“Is that him?”
“O pretending to be A? Gay?”
“Also, emotionally manipulated a classmate? That’s too much, right?”
The sounds were neither too loud nor too soft, and each one reached Jiang Zhihuo’s ears.
His chest was like a balloon about to burst.
Before Jiang Zhihuo could even blow up, Yan Mu stood up first, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him out.
“What are you doing!” Jiang Zhihuo held his breath, with nowhere to vent his frustration.
“Leave it to me,” Yan Mu said.
Jiang Zhihuo: “Ah?”
Yan Mu: “Give me the video, get a good night’s sleep, and I’ll help you solve it.”
Yan Mu’s words were too A, and the irritable heart was suppressed a little. “What are you going to do?”
Yan Mu: “Get back.”
When this person was serious, he was terrifyingly so, his voice deep and resonant, almost magical. Jiang Zhihuo, acting on some inexplicable impulse, forwarded the video to Yan Mu.
Yan Mu clicked accept and said to Jiang Zhihuo, “Don’t look at the forum tonight; get some rest. You have a match tomorrow.”
Hearing that, all the anger, annoyance, and frustration vanished. His heart was pounding like crazy, and he couldn’t calm it down at all.
Jiang Zhihuo nodded, went back to his place, disconnected from the internet, washed up, and slept a full, satisfying sleep.
The author has something to say:
Ahhh, I originally wanted to finish writing it all before posting; it’d be super satisfying to read it all together, but my brain is fried; I can’t write anymore, uwu. But at least it’s 9k words already!
Write again tomorrow!!!
I need a sip of nutrients!
QAQ In a decayed and weak voice, recited three big words: “Begging… for… nutrients…”
