When the senior year of high school started, the learning atmosphere became noticeably tenser. All courses such as physical education and music were cancelled and replaced by core subjects.

In the boring study, the most common diversion is love gossip such as who is dating whom, who broke up with whom, etc.

Among them, the emotional identity of the school idol Han Haoyan is the most widely rumored, and the heroine is naturally Tian Xueya.

Just as Sun Yuexin guessed, Tian Xueya had been pestering Han Haoyan for most of the summer vacation. How could she not be playing tricks?

"Well, I was blocked by gangsters, and it was Han Haoyan who saved me."

"I was bedridden for a week, and he came to see me every day."

"He accompanied me to the library, to buy clothes and stationery, and he was very gentle..."

“…”

Almost as soon as school started, the students knew about the love story between Han Haoyan and Tian Xueya this summer in which a hero saved a beauty.

Not to mention that Han Haoyan generally didn't want to embarrass girls, everything Tian Xueya said was actually true, and Han Haoyan had no way to refute it:

If you refute it, you will either be considered embarrassed or be considered a heartless man who did it but doesn't want to admit it and wants to continue to have ambiguous relationships with other girls.

Zhao Cheng was indignant on behalf of Han Haoyan. Han Haoyan also seemed to be in a bad mood, as if he was thinking about how to resolve the matter.

Soon, their classmates no longer cared about their beautiful love.

When the news of Hao Jian's formal arrest for rape and extortion spread, it caused quite a stir in nearby schools, especially No. 14 Middle School and Yanda High School.

After all, we were classmates for a year, and this might be the first time for most students to see a criminal involved in a vicious incident, so how could we not discuss it?

Xia Mian and the others were also discussing the progress of this matter.

"It's been submitted to the procuratorate," Sun Yuexin said. "My dad said the police found a lot of evidence. That bastard's sentence will be at least seven or eight years, and possibly as much as ten."

After all, their daughter was almost killed. Both Sun's father and Li's father were very concerned about the case and used all their connections to get Hao Jian a heavy sentence.

"It's said that Hao Jian's father wanted to rescue him, but he only showed up once and never came back," Sun Yuexin said. "It seems that there was some business problem."

"He didn't want to give up, but he couldn't care less later on."

Zhao Cheng asked, "What's wrong?"

"Hao Jian's father has a mistress outside and has a son. His mother is busy dealing with this matter."

In other words, no matter what the reason, Hao Jianguo had completely given up on Hao Jian. Even if Hao Jian came out seven or eight years later, he would probably have no place to stand in the Hao family, and his life would be over.

Li Lizhen said with relief, "Serves you right!"

Sun Yuexin sighed, "Half of the Thirteen Guardians are in prison, and the rest, as accomplices, I heard the minimum sentence was one year."

Zhao Cheng laughed sarcastically, "Don't you think Hao Jian is awesome? Now they think they are awesome too."

At this point, he couldn't help but sigh, "The Thirteen Guardians of No. 14 Middle School are quite funny. Half of them got into trouble and went to jail, while the rest of them are doing good things outside."

Sun Yuexin said, "I didn't expect Fan Xiaoman to be such a nice person."

After Hao Jianqiang's rape caused a sensation, many girls in No. 14 Middle School felt insecure, and rumors were flying around the campus. All the girls who had contact with Hao Jian were speculated to have been raped by him.

In today's open-minded world, girls who have been violated will be criticized, not to mention in this conservative era where falling in love is equivalent to marriage.

The victim will face more terrifying public pressure than the perpetrator, which is why Hao Jian can succeed in coercion without restraint.

Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, as long as the rumor gets out, it is very likely that a girl will never be able to hold her head up high for the rest of her life and her life will be ruined.

Within a week, several pretty girls in No. 14 Middle School were bullied because of this.

However, no one expected Fan Xiaoman to take action. She strictly forbade anyone to spread such things. Anyone who spread such things would be caught and punished if she found out.

Once, she directly killed the leader of the Eight Vajra. In short, this matter was suppressed by her and the remaining few people of the Thirteen Protectors.

When talking about Fan Xiaoman opening the heads of the Eight Vajra Kings, Zhao Cheng kept glancing at Xia Mian.

Xia Mian said speechlessly, "Just say whatever you want to say. Why are you hesitating?"

"Nothing," Zhao Cheng said with a smile, "I thought you were going to say that we should convince people with reason or something like that."

Han Haoyan, who had been silent the whole time, interrupted and said, "Yeah, don't you dislike violence?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but complain, "Big sister, you're really hiding it. You're so good at fighting, but you tell everyone that you like to convince others with reason."

"I thought I was dreaming the whole day."

Xia Mian laughed, "It's not that I'm going to fight, I'm just trying to make sense. After all, there will always be people like Hao Jian who don't understand what we say, and I can only beat them up to make them understand."

"Most of the students at No. 14 Middle School don't understand what people say, so it's not wrong for Fan Xiaoman to teach them the rules."

"So, force is just to make things better?"

It was the first time they heard such a statement. Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen couldn't help but give her a thumbs-up. "Awesome!"

Zhao Cheng and Han Haoyan burst out laughing.

Sun Yuexin sighed, "Our school has a good atmosphere. At most, everyone will be surprised for a while, and then they'll probably just move on to the rumors about the handsome guy from Han University. There won't be any messy things at all."

Li Lizhen nodded in agreement. "I don't know how they study at No. 14 Middle School. It feels like either you bully me or I bully you."

However, soon after they finished speaking, they were slapped in the face.

Not only that, the object of criticism is hibernation.

The culprit behind the rumors is still the old friend Tian Xueya, and she uses the same old tricks.

The reason was because of the school hunk Han Haoyan.

Just like Sun Yuexin said, Hao Jian had been expelled for more than a year after all, and everyone had forgotten about it after discussing it for a while. It was not as interesting as the emotional changes between Han Xiaocao and Tian Xueya.

Tian Xueya described their summer vacation as so romantic and sweet. However, in fact, although Han Haoyan did not explain anything to everyone, he hardly spoke to Tian Xueya and was even colder to her than to other girls.

After class or in other free time outside of study, Han Haoyan would run to Class 3 like Zhao Cheng, always looking for Xia Mian. Tian Xueya couldn't even touch Han Haoyan's clothes.

As for Xia Mian, since that time they fought side by side, even Sun Yuexin, who had always disliked him, no longer rejected Han Haoyan. After all, he was indeed prepared to protect them with all his might at that time.

Especially since everyone knew a common secret about hibernation, their relationship unconsciously became much closer.

Gradually, rumors spread that Han Haoyan betrayed Tian Xueya and was pursuing Xia Mian.

This kind of rumor of being pursued could be heard every once in a while, so Xia Mian didn't take it seriously. As for Han Haoyan, he ignored him as usual.

The two main people didn't say anything, but they didn't expect Tian Xueya to jump out and clarify for them.

"Xia Mian was blocked by Hao Jian and the others at the time. It was Han Haoyan and Zhao Cheng who rescued her."

"Han Haoyan isn't pursuing her, he's just worried about her. You know, he's a very nice person."

"Didn't Zhao Cheng and Li Lizhen also go to see Xia Mian whenever they had time? They were all worried about her."

Once these seemingly plausible words were spoken, combined with the confirmation of Hao Jianqiang's guilt, everyone naturally imagined many things.

It’s okay for those students who know about summer hibernation, but others who are not so familiar with it will naturally have to make guesses.

This matter is too credible. Hao Jian wanted to bully Xia Mian when he was in the first year of high school, and was eventually sent to the police station by Xia Mian. Naturally, he held a grudge against her, and how could he not retaliate against her if he had the chance.

Considering the cause and effect, it is very likely that Xia Mian was violated by Hao Jian.

Although the Affiliated Middle School does not have bullying like the No. 14 Middle School, many people look at Xia Mian with strange eyes, some with sympathy and pity, while others with contempt and ridicule.

When Xia Mian went to the restroom, she even heard regretful discussions in the men's restroom: "Xia Mian was so lucky, but she's so pitiful", "Her life is ruined", "Will her future husband dislike her?" and so on.

Xia Mian himself heard it, and Sun Yuexin and Zhao Cheng naturally heard more. Someone even asked them about it indirectly. Zhao Cheng was so angry that he beat up that person.

Sun Yuexin pounded the table in anger, "Can I just beat her to death?"

Zhao Cheng said, "Damn it, Tian Xueya really broke my rule of not hitting women!" He still felt that he couldn't swallow this breath, "No, I must beat her up today."

For the first time, Han Haoyan's sunny and handsome face turned terribly dark. He said seriously, "Let me handle this matter."

Sun Yuexin expressed her disbelief, "Are you sure you can handle it? Tian Xueya is not an easy person to deal with, and you are so kind to her."

Xia Mian didn't believe him either, and said with a smile, "Don't embarrass yourself, I'll do this myself."

She clenched her fists and stood up, looking at Han Haoyan and said, "But I may need the cooperation of Han Xiaocao."

Han Haoyan looked at Xia Mian and suddenly felt very uncomfortable. In her heart, was he so unreliable?

Zhao Cheng had no idea of ​​the mixed feelings his friend was feeling. He was simply thrilled. "Sister, how are you going to handle this?"

Xia Mian put her hands in her pockets and walked leisurely towards Class 6. "When dealing with someone who doesn't know the rules, of course we should teach her the rules."

"And the best way is to give them a taste of their own medicine."

Sun Yuexin happily followed, "Yes, this should have been done long ago. I didn't want to argue with her, but she kept pushing us further. She really thought we were easy to bully! This time, we'll teach her a lesson."

Li Lizhen and Han Haoyan also followed behind. Although they didn't know Xia Mian's plan, they all believed that Xia Mian could definitely handle it.

Several people appeared in front of the door of Class 6 in a mighty manner.

It was the break time before evening self-study. In addition to those who were concentrating on studying, there were also some people chatting, throwing balls, chasing and playing. In short, it was quite lively.

When Xia Mian and the others appeared at the door, the classroom instantly became quiet.

Only the two boys who were chasing didn't see it. The boy running in front ran straight towards Xia Mian.

"Hello!"

"careful!"

"Wu Fei! Be careful!"

Just when everyone thought Xia Mian would be knocked away, she nimbly dodged to the side, reached out to hold the boy's arm, pushed and pulled, reducing his momentum, and then gave the boy a twist, and he was standing facing the classroom.

All this happened in a flash. The boy was still dizzy, but some people in Class 6 were already amazed by this beautiful move. The boys in the back row couldn't help but whistle.

Zhao Cheng immediately shouted, "Wow, this is a great move, Xia Mian, please teach me."

"How many things do you know?"

Sun Yuexin snorted, "Why don't you ask her what she doesn't know."

Xia Mian smiled and said, "No what?"

She tilted her head and said, "What I'm probably worst at is letting go of disgusting things, especially those that disgust me."

As she said this, she looked straight at Tian Xueya who was sitting in the first row.

Tian Xueya was still acting. She looked at Xia Mian with eyes full of sympathy and pity, as if her life was about to be ruined.

Zhao Cheng couldn't help but yelled angrily, "Fuck."

Xia Mian blocked him, slightly curling the corners of her mouth. She glanced around, bent down, picked up a stool beside her, and tried the weight and angle in her hands.

"I'm here to see Tian Xueya. I want to confirm something with you."

The students in Class 6 fell silent for a moment, all looking at the excitement in front of them.

"What's the matter?" Tian Xueya couldn't help feeling a little flustered when she looked at Zhao Cheng and Han Haoyan. She didn't take Xia Mian seriously, but this was the first time she saw Han Haoyan with such an angry expression, and Zhao Cheng seemed like he was going to pounce on her and hit her at any time.

She quickly explained, "I don't know how the story got spread like this. I just heard that Xia Mian was blocked by Hao Jian when school was about to start..."

"It seems you also know that you were the one who spread it." Xia Mian tilted her head, "But who said I need to confirm this with you?"

"The fact that Hao Jian blocked my way was actually true. I know this much better than you do. I don't need to ask you for confirmation," Xia Mian said. "I was the one who sent him to jail."

She said this, looked at Tian Xueya and laughed, "When he tried to humiliate me in the first year of high school, I sent him to detention for more than ten days; but he didn't change his ways and came to cause trouble for me again, so I sent him to detention for more than ten years."

"Not only that," Xia Mian waved the stool in his hand tentatively and said, "He hasn't been sent to the detention center yet. Do you know why?"

The boy who was spun around by Xia Mian before and was still standing there subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Xia Mian narrowed his eyes. "Because he has three broken ribs, his left calf and right thigh are also fractured, and there's some internal bleeding, so he's still in the hospital. I estimate he'll need to stay there for another half a month."

She looked straight at Tian Xueya, raised her chin and said proudly, "I hit her."

Xia Mian said meaningfully, "Everyone in the grade knows that I like to reason, but I'm not very polite to those who don't understand what I'm saying."

Looking at those dark eyes, Tian Xueya felt a chill on her spine and said with some fear, "You, what do you want to do?"

"Nothing." Xia Mian said, "I want to confirm with you, classmate Tian Xueya, how are you going to repay me?"

Tian Xueya was puzzled. "Why should I repay you?"

"Tsk!" Xia Mian shook his head and said, "Although I have always known that you have evil intentions, I didn't expect you to be such an ungrateful person who repays kindness with enmity."

"Why, you don't believe I can handle Hao Jian?"

At this point, she said to the students next to and behind Tian Xueya, "Please make way. I need to show Tian Xueya my fighting power."

Those students instinctively sensed danger and quickly retreated.

Tian Xueya watched Xia Mian approaching with a stool, and she stood up involuntarily, saying fearfully, "What are you going to do?"

"Let me prove to you that I have the ability to send Hao Jian to jail!" Xia Mian said, suddenly raising the stool in his hand, swinging it around and smashing it hard towards Tian Xueya's table.

Accompanied by a crowd of screams, there was a loud "bang" and Tian Xueya's desk split in half from the middle and fell apart. The thick books and exercises on the desk fell to the ground with a crash.

Tian Xueya faced the fierce wind, screamed in fear and retreated, staggering and holding on to the table behind her, trying to run out.

But Xia Mian spun around and kicked, closely brushing Tian Xueya's face, and stomped on the wall behind her, with his calf directly stuck in her neck so that she could not move.

Tian Xueya was so scared that her legs went limp. However, when she tried to slide down, she felt a huge pressure on her neck, as if it could suffocate her. She had to lean against the wall to stand up straight.

There was a moment of absolute silence in the classroom, and then someone suddenly cheered excitedly, "Great, that's awesome!"

Xia Mian put strength on his legs and said with a smile, "Tian Xueya, you may not know that I started learning fighting when I could walk."

"And my master said that I have extraordinary bones and excellent talent. When I was sixteen, I could easily beat up three or four grown men. I could beat up ten thugs like Hao Jian without even breathing hard."

"Now you should believe it, right?"

Tian Xueya's face flushed red due to breathing difficulties, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat. She hurriedly said, "I, I believe it, I believe it."

Xia Mian then slowly put down his legs and said, "So, remember to thank me."

The removal of the oppressive feeling made Tian Xueya slide down the wall. Xia Mian considerately kicked the stool under her buttocks and said with a smile, "It's not an exaggeration to say that I am your savior."

Tian Xueya didn't understand at all, "What?"

Xia Mian said in surprise, "You don't want to admit it, do you? There are many people who testify to this."

Tian Xueya was speechless. Xia Miantian sighed and said, "Let me ask you, were you blocked by the Thirteen Protectors during the summer vacation, and was Han Haoyan the one who saved you?"

Tian Xueya had already told everyone about this, and everyone knew it without her saying anything. Someone answered for her, "Yes."

Xia Mian asked again, "When Han Haoyan went to rescue you, you fainted, right?"

Without waiting for Tian Xueya to answer, she turned around and asked Han Haoyan, "Right, she fainted, right?"

Han Haoyan nodded and said, "I carried her all the way to the hospital."

Xia Mian said, "She stayed in bed for more than a week after that, right?"

"Yeah," Han Haoyan continued to nod, "I go to see her every day."

"Even after she was discharged from the hospital, she called you every day to say she was scared."

Xia Mian continued, "You saw that she was in a bad mental state, and in order to comfort her, you spent almost half of the summer vacation with her. This is the truth of your romantic love, right?"

"Love is bullshit," Zhao Cheng said, "All of us who played basketball together knew about this. Later, Han Haoyan couldn't play anymore. She always said she was scared. Old Han was a good person. He had no choice but to accompany her."

Xia Mian then looked at Tian Xueya and said slowly, "So, I helped you send half of the Thirteen Protectors to the police station. Shouldn't you thank me?"

"They won't be able to harass you anymore," Xia Mian said. "Oh, your mood has improved significantly since you heard they were taken to the police station. You can go to school with your stomach even without Han Haoyan, right?"

Tian Xueya finally understood what Xia Mian said:

After being surrounded by the Thirteen Guardians, she was bedridden. Han Haoyan was worried about her emotions and took care of her...

During this period, Hao Jian committed rape...

Tian Xueya glanced at the people around her and felt an infinite panic rising in her heart.

However, everyone's eyes told her very clearly that they believed it!

With Xia Mian's fighting strength, Hao Jian couldn't touch her at all.

Tian Xueya must have been raped, and she framed Xia Mian to divert attention. After all, she had done this kind of thing countless times.

"No wonder she's becoming more and more gloomy..."

"Alas, no wonder Han Haoyan ignored her. It turns out he was just sympathizing with her."

"How dare you say you're together with Han Haoyan."

"So Han Haoyan just didn't say anything because he felt sorry for her and was afraid that she would collapse. The person he really likes is Xia Mian."

"No, no!" Tian Xueya shook her head desperately, "It was because of Han Haoyan that Fan Xiaoman and the others blocked my way..."

Xia Mian interrupted her, "Yes, she and Hao Jian are both members of the Thirteen Guardians."

She looked at Tian Xueya with pity and sympathy, "It's okay, cheer up. Hao Jian and the others are already in there. They won't have the chance to harass you anymore."

Han Haoyan, who usually didn't bother with girls, spoke up for the first time this time, "Tian Xueya, I protected you during the summer vacation just out of a sense of responsibility. I have never liked you and I will never like you. Please stop misleading everyone with specious words."

"No, no!" Tian Xueya suddenly screamed, "I got beaten because of you. I just got slapped a few times! Nothing happened."

"You're not worried about my emotions at all. You're worried about guilt."

Xia Mian sighed and said, "Forget it, don't provoke her, she's so pitiful."

She turned to look at the students in Class 6 and said with a smile, "Classmates, don't believe in rumors or spread them. I'm afraid you haven't forgotten the Criminal Law that I taught you."

"If I hear you spreading rumors about me again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Someone immediately laughed and said, "I know, I won't dare to do that again!"

Xia Mian waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Zhao Cheng, Sun Yuexin and the others followed him out.

"Oh, right." When he reached the door, Xia Mian suddenly stopped and said, "Class 6 monitor, I will compensate Tian Xueya for the table and stool. Ask your class teacher how much it costs, and then come to me."

After saying this, he walked away leisurely.

The boy who was just dragged around by Xia Mian said dreamily, "Fuck, so handsome!"

"No wonder Zhao Cheng and Han Xiaocao like to get close to me. I'd like to get close to them if I get a chance."

"Don't even think about it. Can you compare to Han Xiaocao?"

"No wonder the people in Class 3 don't believe it. This doesn't look like he's been manipulated by something."

…

Tian Xueya suffered backlash from the rumors.

What Xia Mian said were all things that Tian Xueya had claimed herself, and she said them face to face, so the facts were solid.

So the students believed it without a doubt, and soon all kinds of speculations were flying around:

"She really was raped by Hao Jian, right?"

"It's very possible. Hao Jian liked her when he was in the first year of high school and blocked her many times."

"And she's very familiar with Hao Jian. She said this when she falsely accused Xia Mian in her first year of high school. She heard everything from Hao Jian."

"My temper is getting weirder and weirder, maybe it's not just the first or second time..."

"Yes, there was another time when I saw her clutching her stomach, her face pale. Did she hit the child?"

"Wow, her life is over..."

Occasionally, there would be boys who would take care of her with great compassion, but Tian Xueya would feel overwhelmed when she saw their kind of charity and pity.

Before the final exam, Sun Yuexin held her stomach and laughed so hard that she fell over. "Oh my god, you don't know, that Tu Xingsun from Class 7 actually confessed his love to Tian Xueya."

"No way?" Li Lizhen asked in surprise, "Is it that Tuxingsun from Class 7?"

There is a dark-skinned and short boy in Class 7.

Although she is not ugly, her figure is really not flattering, her academic performance is poor, and her personality is a bit weird.

He didn't like taking a bath, his hair was always greasy and his body smelled bad, so he was nicknamed Tuxingsun.

"That's him!" Sun Yuexin didn't know what expression to make. "I think the whole school is going to be in an uproar."

"He said things like I won't despise you and I'll treat you well forever." Sun Yuexin also thought that Tu Xingsun was pretty bad, but...

"You didn't see Tian Xueya's expression. She looked like she had eaten a fly and was about to collapse."

They were happy when Tian Xueya was in trouble.

Normally, they were two completely different people, but now he dared to offend her directly. Obviously, in his heart, Tian Xueya was no longer precious after being violated.

This is the idea of ​​many people in this era. Although I cannot praise summer sleep, the general environment is like this, which is very unfriendly to girls.

Tian Xueya knew this clearly, and even Xia Mian had clearly told her the consequences when she was in the first year of high school.

However, today in her senior year of high school, she once again chose the same way to destroy her.

It's just that she was much more cunning than when she was in the first year of high school, and she thought that Xia Mian couldn't find any evidence against her and couldn't do anything to her.

Xia Mian sneered. Such a person does not deserve to be treated gently, so he should bear the consequences of his own actions!
