On Monday, H City No.1 Middle School

As Gu Yanxin walked through the campus, she felt that the people around her were giving her strange looks today, and their eyes kept sweeping over her.

She suppressed her discomfort, gripped the shoulder strap of her backpack tightly, and quickened her pace toward the teaching building.

"I was wondering why someone was back all of a sudden. Turns out they were kicked out for plagiarism in the competition," Jiang Yu said mockingly to Gu Yanxin, who had just entered the room.

Gu Yanxin paused, her heart skipped a beat, and she said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Still pretending? The match footage has already been leaked." Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow, not expecting her to be so shameless.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanxin's face turned deathly pale, and her palms were covered in sweat. She forced herself to remain calm and returned to her seat.

"You... take a look at the school forum." Even Zeng Tingting, who used to stand up for her, looked at her with a complicated expression.

Ignoring the stares of those around her, Gu Yanxin frantically pulled out her phone and, with trembling fingers, clicked into the No. 1 Middle School forum.

The first thing that caught her eye was a video of the piano arrangement competition she participated in in the capital. Gu Yanxin felt her scalp tingle and her mind went blank. She no longer had the courage to click in and read the comments.

Why is this video here? Gu Wanqing clearly said that the video would not be made public!

"I remember Shi Miao is your sister, right? I didn't expect you to be so shameless as to copy your sister's song." Jiang Yu crossed her arms and leaned against the table, continuing to deliver the final blow.

A hint of hatred flashed in Gu Yanxin's eyes. After taking a deep breath, she looked up at Jiang Yu and said with red eyes, "Shi Miao didn't produce any evidence at all. Her words are completely unreliable."

"But the judges disqualified you on the spot..." Zeng Tingting said weakly.

Although she didn't want to believe that Gu Yanxin was that kind of person, the facts were right in front of her.

"That judge is my and Shi Miao's aunt. She favors Shi Miao, which is why she disqualified me from the competition without even asking any questions. Even Shi Miao being able to attend as a judge was secretly arranged by my aunt..." Gu Yanxin bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes, and said aggrievedly.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Tingting hesitated again, "Really?"

"Tingting, we've known each other for so long, don't you understand me? Haven't you seen how Shi Miao usually ignores me..."

Zeng Tingting was about to speak when Jiang Yu interrupted her, "Why don't we just confront Shi Miao directly? As long as Shi Miao can't produce any evidence, then it proves that you are innocent."

“Jiang Yu is right. Instead of guessing here, we should just confront Shi Miao directly.”

"Yes, we can't just listen to Gu Yanxin's side of the story."

"I don't think Shi Miao is the kind of person who would arbitrarily frame others."

The students around him nodded in agreement.

“I think Jiang Yu makes sense. Why don’t we go find Shi Miao?” Zeng Tingting said hesitantly.

Gu Yanxin was furious that Zeng Tingting not only didn't speak up for her, but also told her to confront Shi Miao. She was so angry she almost ground her teeth to dust. Her legs felt weak, and if she hadn't been sitting in a chair, she probably would have fallen to the ground.

"Gu Yanxin, you're not so scared that you don't dare to do it, are you?" Jiang Yu looked at her with a half-smile.

Gu Yanxin was so anxious that cold sweat poured down her forehead, her heart pounded wildly, and she couldn't utter a single word, as if her throat were stuffed with cotton. Suddenly, she felt dizzy and her vision went black; she couldn't bear it any longer and fainted.

......

"Holy crap, I just came out of the bathroom and saw an ambulance parked downstairs. The paramedics were carrying a stretcher and it looked like they were heading to the first shift!" Wan Yang exclaimed as he walked in through the back door.

"Could it be that he fainted from studying too hard?" Ji Sinian said seriously, resting his chin on his hand.

"Maybe," Wan Yang nodded.

"Oh dear, I overheard someone in the restroom saying that Gu Yanxin fainted. I think she must have faked it because she couldn't handle the comments on the forum," Hu Tiantian said as she walked over, shaking the water droplets off her hands.

Ji Sinian clicked his tongue, "She deserved it, she actually copied Sister Miao's song."

"Yeah. But Sister Miao, you're so cool! You slapped that innocent little white lotus in the face. But how come you're a judge?" Hu Tiantian asked with starry eyes and admiration.

Upon hearing this, Shi Miao raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly. "Well, a friend recommended it to me."

But who exactly uploaded this video to the forum?

Shi Miao took out her phone and checked the IP address of the account. It was located in a coffee shop in Beijing.

The capital city... She couldn't think of anyone else but Qin Chu, but he had no grudge against Gu Yanxin, so what was his purpose in doing this?
