scandal
Apart from that, Shi Shi’s campus life was not all smooth sailing.
Shi Shi never really fits into school life. The only person she can call a friend is Xun Ke, but Xun Ke only cares about studying. He spends most of his time studying.
So most of the time, Shi Shi was alone walking around the campus.
It's not that Shi Shi has never tried to make friends with people of the same age, and she would occasionally meet classmates who showed interest in her, but the problem was that she had already matured mentally and could not make close friends with people of the same age around her.
Because now she couldn't discuss with others the TV series, novels and comics that she was no longer interested in. Because these were just her lost interests long ago, and she had no interest in them at all.
Qin Yichuan noticed all of this. After all, they were in the same school, though in different grades, but they would occasionally run into each other. He noticed that Shi Shi was always walking alone on campus.
So, when Qin Yichuan met Du Lin one day, he brought up this matter.
"How can I help you with something like this? I'm not a woman." Du Lin was happy to help Qin Yichuan, but this time, he wanted to refuse. In his opinion, there was an unbridgeable distance between boys and girls, and he never liked talking to girls. He couldn't help with this kind of thing.
"I just want you to pay attention and see if anyone is bullying her." Qin Yichuan suddenly remembered that Du Lin was in the class next to Shi Shi's.
This worry is not without reason. Some people are malicious towards those who are eccentric or introverted.
Du Lin had always kept his distance from girls. Besides, he and Shi Shi had only met a few times because of Qin Yichuan. They met on the street and it was not certain whether they needed to say hello. It was a very forced relationship and could not be considered familiar.
Feeling hesitant and awkward, Du Lin kept wandering around the door of the next class for the next few days.
But I didn't know how to get close to her for the moment, so I could only observe her from a distance while thinking of a solution.
In fact, ever since Du Lin confirmed that Shi Shi was Uncle Feng's daughter, he has been a little curious about her.
This curiosity probably comes from his envy of Shi Shi.
I envy her for having a father who always cares about her, and I also envy her for having a mother who is always with her.
Because he had lost both of these. But even if his parents hadn't divorced, it was almost the same, one leaving for a foreign country, the other leaving for a foreign land.
Apart from the living expenses sent by the two people on time, there was nothing else from them. He hadn't heard those words of concern for a long time.
He felt like he was on the verge of being completely abandoned. He still couldn't figure out why everything changed overnight.
It was like a complete change. Both Dad and Mom suddenly became indifferent as if they had agreed upon it, and no longer cared about him.
All the intimacy and happiness we once had disappeared suddenly like bubbles, without a trace.
"Hey, brother, are you here to see the goddess too?"
Suddenly, someone tapped Du Lin on the shoulder. Du Lin turned around and saw a familiar-looking boy. After a few seconds, he realized it was someone he had played basketball with before; they had even been on the same team.
"Goddess?" Du Lin didn't understand what the other party meant and asked back in confusion.
"The one sitting in the first row by the window. You like her too." The boy said, his eyes fixed on Shi Shi.
"Don't talk nonsense." Du Lin denied this statement without hesitation. What a joke.
"You still don't admit it? Stop pretending. I've seen you standing at the back door of our class for several days in a row. Every time you come, you look at her first. It's obvious. You say you are so open and honest, why are you still hiding it?" The boy looked unconvinced.
As she spoke, Shi Shi may have noticed the gaze in this direction and turned her head to look over here.
Then, Shi Shi and Du Lin made eye contact and nodded as a greeting.
"You two know each other." The man was very surprised when he saw it, and his tone was exaggerated.
"Yes." Du Lin did not deny this.
"That's amazing, bro! How did you do that? We're classmates, and I barely get a chance to talk to her." They were classmates, after all, but they hadn't exchanged more than five sentences to this day. It seemed like Shi Shi was completely indifferent to everyone except Xun Ke.
"We used to go to the same school. Isn't it normal for us to know each other?"
"It's unusual for you to say hello. The goddess is very cold."
"Stop holding me back. I'm in a hurry to go to the bathroom." Du Lin didn't want to continue this topic with him, so he made up an excuse and wanted to leave.
"But I have to tell you, you don't have a chance." This person still believed that Du Lin liked Shi Shi. "She already has a boyfriend."
"I've already told you, I don't like her." Du Lin felt tired of explaining, so he threw it away and walked away. After only a few steps, he retreated again. "What did you just say?"
"I told her she had a boyfriend, and you said it was boring, and you reacted so strongly."
====
As soon as the get out of class was over at noon, Du Lin hurried to the cafeteria, found Qin Yichuan in the crowded cafeteria, and sat down opposite Qin Yichuan.
Du Lin couldn't wait to share the gossip he heard from others today.
"Do you know what I found out today?"
"What?" Qin Yichuan asked casually, without any interest. His hands did not move, and his eyes were still searching for something in the crowd.
"That's what I heard from Shi Shi's classmates today."
"Oh, what did he say to you?" Qin Yichuan became interested after hearing this.
"He said Shi Shi already has a boyfriend."
Zeng Mu, who was eating silently on the side, paused and glanced at Du Lin. He was also a little curious about this matter.
"How could she have a boyfriend?" Qin Yichuan's voice was full of disbelief.
Qin Yichuan's reaction was within Du Lin's expectations. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he was interrupted by someone who suddenly appeared behind him.
"How come I didn't know that I have a boyfriend?" Shi Shi, who happened to be walking near them with lunch in her hand, said speechlessly.
There was a scandal about her that went around in circles and finally came to the person responsible.
"I heard it from others." Seeing Shi Shi, Du Lin swallowed the words he had not yet said.
"How could there be such a bizarre rumor?" Shi Shi felt funny after feeling depressed.
Although he felt puzzled, Shi Shi did not take it seriously, thinking it was just a misunderstanding and it did not matter much.
====
Shi Shi quickly put this episode behind her.
"Why do we have to take another exam?" Shi Shi sat in her seat feeling a little discouraged as she watched the teacher say a few words before dismissing the get out of class.
Xun Ke saw her reaction, moved his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Even if you are mentally resisting the arrival of the exam day, what is coming will still come.
Shi Shi crammed before the exam, but when she actually got the test paper, she found her mind was blank.
This is normal. She has never studied it seriously, and the knowledge that has long been forgotten will naturally not enter her mind on its own.
Shi Shi had a hard time getting through these exams.
In the days before the results were released, I felt extremely depressed.
As expected, her final result was not just disappointing, but passing was both expected and unexpected. She had a feeling that her result would not be a failure, but she had not expected it to be just barely passing.
"Shi Shi, Teacher Qu is calling you." Shi Shi's heart skipped a beat when she heard the monitor say this to her, but it was also expected. She had known for a long time that her grades this time were not very ideal, so it was normal for her to be called by the teacher.
So she came to the office with a nervous mood.
"I've seen your junior high school report card. Your foundation is not bad, but your current grades are obviously wrong." Teacher Qu's voice was still gentle, but his brows were furrowed.
"Teacher, I'm sorry, I've just been in a bad state recently." Being lazy and not working hard every day is the natural result.
It was the first time in many years that Shi Shi was called into the teacher's office. At this moment, she inexplicably felt a sense of shame.
"Tell me the truth, are you in love? At your age now, studying hard is the most important thing, everything else is secondary."
"How could that be? That's not happening." Shi Shi denied it repeatedly, not understanding why even the teacher would have such an idea. She clearly had no close classmates, male or female, so there was no such thing at all.
"It's good that you didn't fall in love too early. I hope you work hard and don't get such a grade next time."
After returning home, Shi Yiqing was speechless again about her grades. She really couldn't understand it, because Shi Shi's academic performance had never worried her since she was a child.
"Are you in love? Otherwise, how could this happen?" After thinking about it, Shi Yiqing could only think of one possibility and couldn't help asking.
This sentence really shocked Shi Shi. She couldn't understand why people kept making such speculations.
Qin Yichuan was choking loudly on the side.
This caused Shi Yiqing and Shi Shi to look at him with concern. How could he choke while drinking water?
"Mom, what are you thinking about? How is this possible?" Shi Shi felt helpless. How could she fall in love with this bunch of kids?
This is not because the high school content is really too difficult. Even if she had learned it before, it was a long time ago, so long ago that she had forgotten all the content. In addition, she had not studied seriously during this period, so her grades dropped a lot.
