Faced with the rumors circulating on campus, Gu Yunxi tried to confront and fight back, but it seemed she couldn't completely quell these unfounded accusations. These rumors gradually spread, even beginning to affect her daily life and mood. One day, her counselor approached her and earnestly inquired about the rumors circulating at school.

The counselor knew Gu Yunxi well, recognizing her not only excellent academic performance but also outstanding qualities in all aspects, so she didn't immediately make a negative judgment about her. Wanting to understand the truth, the counselor called Gu Yunxi to her office.

"Gu Yunxi, I've heard some rumors about you at school. I'd like to know what's going on?" The counselor's tone was both serious and concerned.

When questioned by her counselor, Gu Yunxi honestly recounted what had happened, including hearing Yang Shanshan's boasting and inappropriate remarks in the dormitory that day, as well as her experience in the bathroom.

"Teacher, I have indeed heard some rumors about my private life, but I haven't paid any attention to them. I always believed that the truth would prevail, but now it seems that these rumors have affected how others perceive me." Gu Yunxi's voice carried a hint of helplessness, but more so, it was firm.

After listening to Gu Yunxi's account, the counselor nodded in understanding. "I will investigate this matter. If it is indeed found that someone is spreading false information, the school will take appropriate measures." The counselor's tone revealed both a desire to protect the student and a commitment to the truth.

Subsequently, the counselor contacted other relevant individuals, including Yang Shanshan, for questioning and investigation. Through this process, the truth gradually came to light.

The atmosphere in the counselor's office was somewhat tense. Yang Shanshan insisted on her position, believing that she hadn't lied, but had simply accidentally leaked a classmate's private matter. Although she admitted that spreading private matters was wrong, she refused to apologize for the veracity of the information.

Seeing that both sides had conflicting accounts, the counselor decided to have Gu Yunxi and Yang Shanshan confront each other to clarify the facts.

Gu Yunxi walked into the office and faced Yang Shanshan with a firm and calm demeanor. "What evidence do you have that I'm dating some so-called 'older man'?" she directly questioned Yang Shanshan, her tone revealing an undeniable sense of justice.

Yang Shanshan was momentarily speechless. She said smugly, "You said your boyfriend is a major. What else could he be but an old man? Are there that many young majors?" Her tone was provocative, as if she was trying to prove her point.

Gu Yunxi was not provoked. She calmly replied, "Isn't your boyfriend also a major? According to your logic, you must be dating an older man to have such feelings?" Her words directly addressed Yang Shanshan's contradictions, leaving Yang Shanshan speechless for a moment.

The counselor witnessed the confrontation between the two, clearly seeing Yang Shanshan's unreasonable behavior and Gu Yunxi's rationality and composure. "Yang Shanshan, it's irresponsible to speculate and spread rumors about classmates' private affairs without evidence. I hope you can recognize your mistake and apologize to Gu Yunxi." The counselor's tone was serious and authoritative.

Yang Shanshan stood in the office, her neck stiff despite the pressure from her counselor, refusing to apologize to Gu Yunxi. Her attitude appeared stubborn and unwilling to back down.

Looking at Yang Shanshan's expression, Gu Yunxi knew that a simple apology wouldn't truly solve the problem or undo the damage. She calmly told the counselor, "Counselor, I don't need her apology. I'll contact a lawyer directly to see if this baseless slander can bring her disciplinary action from the school."

The counselor realized the situation was more serious than expected and tried to persuade Gu Yunxi to find a more harmonious solution. However, Gu Yunxi remained firm in her stance; she refused to compromise, believing her rights and reputation could not be needlessly damaged.

Faced with Gu Yunxi's insistence, the counselor turned to pressuring Yang Shanshan, demanding that she take the issue seriously and give Gu Yunxi the apology she deserved. Under the counselor's insistence and pressure, Yang Shanshan finally had no choice but to lower her head, but her eyes revealed a deeper resentment towards Gu Yunxi.

Looking at Yang Shanshan's reluctant apology, Gu Yunxi smiled and replied, "Do you think such a simple apology can settle this? My reputation has been damaged. How can I face people in the future? You must formally apologize to me in front of the entire school, or I will take legal action."

Gu Yunxi's request was not only to protect his own reputation, but also to convey a message to the entire school: everyone must be responsible for their own actions and cannot arbitrarily damage the reputation of others.

Ultimately, with her counselor present, Yang Shanshan was forced to agree to make a formal apology in front of the entire school. This incident caused a stir within the school, making everyone aware of the importance of words and actions and the power of the law.

After this incident, Gu Yunxi's presence on campus became even stronger. Some students' attitudes towards her changed, perhaps because her firmness and decisiveness instilled a sense of awe in them. Her name and deeds spread among the students, and many began to view her differently, some perhaps out of admiration for her personality, others perhaps out of fear of the consequences of her actions.

As for Yang Shanshan, her attitude became even more obvious. Whenever Gu Yunxi appeared in the dormitory, the previously lively atmosphere would suddenly become tense. Yang Shanshan would deliberately put on an unpleasant expression, and sometimes even express her dissatisfaction and protest by slamming the table or smashing chairs. Her behavior made the atmosphere in the dormitory awkward, and the other roommates also felt pressured, unsure of what to do.

Gu Yunxi didn't care about these petty actions. She knew she hadn't done anything wrong, and there was no need for others' immature behavior to affect her emotions. She maintained her composure and calm, continuing to focus on her studies and personal development. She believed that time would prove everything and make those unreasonable people realize their mistakes.

In this tense environment, Gu Yunxi's behavior and attitude earned her even more respect and support from some of her classmates. They saw her courage and integrity, as well as her indomitable spirit. These classmates began to gravitate towards Gu Yunxi, forming a small group of mutual supporters.
