This is really a particularly embarrassing situation...

Xu Fan was now holding the receiver, hesitating for a long time, and still hadn't decided who to call.

The relationship between them was already in a subtle state of ambiguity, and now that he had pierced through this membrane, how was he supposed to interact with the other party?

Xu Fan felt very lost...

"Forget it, let's find Shanshan first..."

Out of the three suspects—Guan Shimeng, Zhou Keren, and Shanshan—Shanshan was the one with the shallowest relationship. Xu Fan gritted his teeth and chose her.

After struggling to recall Shanshan's phone number, Xu Fan took a deep breath and called her.

Beep... Beep...

During the excruciating few seconds of the busy tone, Xu Fan felt tortured, wondering how to start the conversation as he waited, and finally heard Shanshan's voice.

"Hello, who is it?"

"It's me, Xu Fan..."

"Huh? Xu Fan, why are you suddenly looking for me?"

After explaining his identity to the other party, Xu Fan started to fumble with his words.

"Uh, that is, Shanshan, can I ask you a question?"

"A question? Xu Fan, what question?"

Hearing the puzzled voice from the receiver, Xu Fan clenched his teeth and went straight to the point.

"That is, are you a virgin?"

This kind of question was indeed somewhat awkward, but Xu Fan thought it was at least better than bluntly asking someone if they had been with him.

"Stop it, why are you asking this..."

As he anxiously waited, he only heard Shanshan giggle on the other end of the phone.

Often seen in nightclubs, she was much more open than Guan Shimeng and Xia Yanyu, so she didn't find Xu Fan's sudden question too offensive.

"My hymen is long gone, but if you want, I can 'restore' it for you, only, you have to agree to be my boyfriend first."

"By then, I'll definitely make you wish for heaven and hell."

Shanshan's answer was as open as her personality, making it clear that she wasn't the woman of that night, and Xu Fan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ahem, Shanshan, you misunderstood, I was asking about your star sign, nothing else, hanging up now, haha."

Having eliminated one wrong answer, Xu Fan chuckled, hurriedly hung up before Shanshan could curse at him.

"Phew, two left."

Now with two suspects remaining, Xu Fan counted on his fingers and chose one before dialing again.

"Hello, who is this? I'm in class!"

Zhou Keren's voice came through the phone; she seemed to be in class at school, and Xu Fan instinctively relaxed.

Being able to attend class, does that mean it's not her?

Maybe not necessarily, perhaps she's afraid of being exposed and is forcing herself to work...

"Hello, if you don't speak up, I'm hanging up."

Zhou Keren on the other end of the phone urged in an impatient tone, and Xu Fan quickly responded, "It's me, it's me, Xu Fan."

"What? If it's nothing, I'm hanging up!"

When she heard it was him, her tone became even more impatient, and Xu Fan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing it.

This tone... why does it sound like she's scolding a cheater...

"Ahem, Zhou Keren, I have a question to ask you, and you're not allowed to get angry, okay?"

"Spit it out!"

After hesitating and brewing for a while, Xu Fan finally spoke up.

"That is, are you still a virgin?"

"Get lost! Idiot!"

Dudu... Dudu...

Facing this question, Zhou Keren's attitude was a complete 180-degree turn from that of San San's, as she finished cursing and without hesitation hung up her own phone.

Xu Fan reluctantly curled his lips, thinking, 'This woman, why is she so hot-tempered?'

Maybe I was just asking about a horoscope issue...

"This is bad, who could've guessed..."

During the short call with Zhou Keren, aside from being cursed out, Xu Fan was unable to make out any clues and was pondering whether he should call her again.

"Forget it, don't go looking for trouble..."

If he called her again, he would probably just get cursed at again. Xu Fan then curled his lips and put the phone receiver down.

Zhou Keren aside, there was only one target left.

If he could get a yes or no answer from Guan Shimeng, that would pretty much solve the puzzle of the whole affair.

But considering Guan Shimeng's personality, Xu Fan really couldn't imagine what kind of answer he would get from her after asking such a question...

After mulling it over for a bit, Xu Fan dialed Guan Shimeng's number.

Dudu... Dudu...

It rang several times without being answered, and Xu Fan frowned, feeling that it made no sense.

Guan Shimeng couldn't possibly not answer his calls.

He called her several more times with no answer, making Xu Fan grow increasingly puzzled.

Not answering the phone, what did that mean?

Could it be...

She was avoiding him?

Damn it...

In this case, it was likely that the several calls he had made, aside from eliminating San San as a wrong answer, served no other purpose.

Xu Fan was now sitting on the edge of the bed, holding his forehead, muttering to himself.

"Xu Fan, oh Xu Fan, why can't you control your damned big mouth..."

Alcohol-induced recklessness could be a big deal or a small thing, depending on the person involved. In Xu Fan's view, the mess he had gotten into was indeed huge.

With things having reached this point, it was impossible to turn back. After sulking for a short while sitting on the bed, Xu Fan stood up.

He decided to go back to school to see the situation and then play it by ear.

After changing his clothes, Xu Fan walked out of the hotel's main entrance, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for Zijing Middle School.

The hotel wasn't far from the school, and in about fifteen minutes, the taxi stopped at the entrance.

Getting out of the car, Xu Fan hadn't even entered the school when, from within the gates, a familiar figure walked towards him.

The face that had been tangled in thought all the way softened upon seeing the person coming toward him.

Even if this woman was incredibly beautiful, Xu Fan still did not care for her.

Xia Yanyu.

Two subordinates followed Xia Yanyu, and since Xia Xiaodie had already left Zijing Middle School, there was probably only one reason for her visit today.

To process Xia Xiaodie's withdrawal from the school.

It seemed that Xia Yanyu hadn't expected to encounter Xu Fan here, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly turned cold, acting as if Xu Fan didn't exist.

However, even if she wanted to treat Xu Fan as if he were invisible, that didn't mean he would comply.

Seeing her try to bypass him, Xu Fan let out a cold snort and directly blocked her path.

"Move aside."

After several attempts to get around him, Xu Fan relentlessly stood in her way, and Xia Yanyu finally had no choice but to look up.

To Xu Fan, Xia Yanyu's pretty eyes were nothing but a source of irritation at that moment.

The relationship between him and Xia Xiaodie had been completely ruined by her, and now Xu Fan narrowed his eyes as he locked gazes with her, smiling, "What's the matter, President Xia? in a hurry to leave?"
