"Shi, You, Xi, are you a freak?"

The woman muttered, "Why did it take so long in the toilet... Ouch, did we run out of toilet paper?"

Another woman's voice was cold: "Possibly."

The more Mu Yiran thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Shi Youxi probably felt ashamed and didn't dare to ask her to deliver the paper.

She panicked and started running.

"Madam, how about I have someone else send some paper to the young master? Please don't..."

The high heels clicked loudly.

She runs in high heels, which causes her to twist her ankle.

Shi Youxi instinctively turned around and ran back.

"Shi Youxi?! You..." Mu Yiran saw the boy standing perfectly fine a few meters away, her gaze fixed on his crotch, her eyes filled with disbelief, "You just came out like that?"

Shi Youxi didn't want her to see Shi Bianji, so she hurried over and said, "Okay, let's go back."

"Did you wipe your butt? Did you get diarrhea?"

Mu Yiran was led around by him, and her hand unconsciously touched Shi Youxi's waist.

"I thought you fell into the toilet."

They were still a bit too restrained.

After all, Shi Youxi is no longer a little kid, so she can't just do whatever she wants to him.

The intimate and skillful actions of the two were extremely irritating to Shi Bianji.

"Mr. Cheng."

Mu Yiran paused for a moment, then turned her head.

I saw Shi Bianji standing in the shadows, but I hadn't seen him because the cello on Shi Youxi's shoulder was blocking my view.

"Alben?"

"What a coincidence, what are you doing here?"

Mu Yiran turned around, and the boy beside her suddenly grabbed her hand.

Shi Youxi was flustered, and Mu Yiran sensed it. She suddenly remembered what Li Buhuo had once said, and her bad feelings intensified.

She grasped Shi Youxi's hand in return, her fingertips gently tickling his palm.

"He is considered one of the school's board members."

"Oh! I see." Mu Yiran feigned surprise.

Shi Bianji curled the corner of his mouth slightly, "Mr. Cheng doesn't seem surprised."

"No, I'm really surprised! Alban doesn't resemble the teacher I imagined at all."

Mu Yiran paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Maybe it's because I've never seen a school board member as handsome and young as Alben."

"Mr. Cheng is joking."

"With such a big incident at the school, Alben must be very busy right now, so we won't bother him."

Shi Bianji didn't intend to end the conversation so easily. He tapped his phone, and Bai Yuning and Mo Yifan's voices came through again.

"Xiao Cheng has a feeling that someone posted this surveillance footage."

Mu Yiran looked at him as if he were an idiot, "Is that even a question? You either use a cell phone or a computer."

Tokibe Ki: "..."

"Alben seems to be so busy that even a question like this can stump you."

“Yes, after all, this video has had a great impact on the school. It’s not enough to just punish those two students. We also need to find out the student who posted the surveillance footage online without permission…” Shi Bianji’s gaze shifted and landed on the boy next to the woman.

"Perhaps Shi knows? After all, you are one of the parties involved."

He wanted to see Shi Youxi's panicked eyes, but Cheng Ran's turned face blocked his view.

How did you know it was posted by a student?

Shi Bianji choked: "...It's just a suspicion."

"But teachers have more opportunities to access surveillance footage than students, don't they?"

"That's true. Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Cheng. I saw the police just arrived. Is Ms. Shi alright?"

Mu Yiran could easily see through Shi Bianji's repeated attempts to direct his words at Shi Youxi.

She was a little annoyed.

"What could possibly happen? I was almost drugged, framed, and cornered at the toilet door. Nothing's wrong with that." Mu Yiran sneered coldly.

Shi Bianji raised an eyebrow: "It seems like CEO Cheng has some issues with me?"

Mu Yiran covered her mouth embarrassedly: "You're overthinking it!"

"How could it be just a little?"

"..."

"Mr. Cheng, please don't misunderstand. I just want to make sure that Shi has nothing to do with this matter. It's all too coincidental."

"Mo Yifan couldn't possibly have drunk the wine he himself had drugged."

Shi Bianji smiled and approached the two people, glancing at their hands that were still clasped together.

"The school is now better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. But Shi is so important to Jingyi, and Jingyi doesn't want to lose a student like him."

Shibin Kiji changed the subject: "But I don't think it would be Shi-kun either."

“Victims will only ever be victims, they could never become the masterminds. Shi is a simple-minded person, she wouldn’t be such a terrible person.”

"..."

Shi Bianji waited to see Cheng Ran waver and doubt Shi Youxi's eyes, so that he could tell that poor child.

You see, she's the same.

The person you madly admire and love, she feels nothing more than that to you.

But he saw nothing.

The woman's eyes were completely expressionless, even mocking.

Who is she laughing at?

"Terrible?" Mu Yiran stared directly at him.

"What's truly terrifying are those who harbor malicious intentions from the outset."

Mu Yiran held Shi Youxi's hand; the boy's palms were sweaty.

It seeped into her skin.

"But those who stand by and speculate without a care in the world are the most terrifying people in my opinion."

Shi Bianji's patience ran out; Cheng Ran was a better actress than he had imagined.

"Mr. Cheng trusts his stepson a lot. Your relationship is better than I imagined."

Mu Yiran pulled Shi Youxi around and said calmly, "I don't seem to have any reason not to be good to him."

The woman's high heels clicked on the tiles, while the boy's leather shoes followed behind.

Shi Bianji's face was gloomy, and his eyes, devoid of any smile, were cold and gloomy.

He watched the two figures leave, a deep groan escaping his chest.

Ha, no reason?

Then he would give Cheng Ran a reason.
