She was naturally aloof, and people avoided her whenever they met her. She simply maintained a Buddhist-like attitude towards life.
Avoid trouble, don't argue with others, and ignore the malicious antics of those clowns. Staying alone is enough.
Little did she know that she still longed for someone to be with her, for someone to like her, and that she could never let go of one person in her heart.
What she never expected was that her little mute boy had become so outstanding and hadn't forgotten her. Today, he even made a promise to her for life. How could she refuse?
Qi Yi put the bracelet on Shang Wenwen's wrist, then revealed his own wrist, where he also wore an identical bracelet with Shang Wenwen's name on it.
"You're quite adept at these things. Is this your first time? It doesn't seem like it. I heard you used to have quite a few girls chasing after you, and..."
"No, no, no, I'm absolutely clean-living and didn't pay any attention to them, really, I swear," Qi Yi quickly begged for mercy.
"Alright! I'll trust you for now, but I don't know how to deal with unwanted suitors. You'll have to get rid of them. Also, we need to improve our strength together. We can talk about marriage later."
"Okay, whatever you say."
"Next Tuesday is my birthday, and I want to go out to celebrate. On that day, I'm severing ties with the Shang family. Are you really okay with that? I've heard that you value matching social status and mutual support. Don't go back on your word later, or I won't forgive you."
"I'm a very pure person when it comes to feelings. If you change your mind, even if you change, I will never forgive you," Shang Wenwen said earnestly.
"Okay, I'm definitely not that kind of person. I don't mind at all. If I change my mind, I will never bother you. I will only raise the deep waters of the river, just to wait for you to turn back once."
"Great! You're making such a solemn promise, you're not really going to change your mind, are you?"
"Won't."
That evening, a message spread like wildfire and quietly went viral.
The ranking is second only to the most recent event.
It turns out that an inconspicuous account posted a picture of two sleazy old men rummaging through a trash can.
One picture shows someone looking down and rummaging through the trash, and the other shows someone leaving with their pants up as they apparently found something.
The title is: [#Early in the game, a creepy old man rummages through a trash can.]
The words "creepy old man" are already sensitive enough, not to mention the somewhat familiar-looking back view in the picture.
Some people even left comments saying that he looked a bit like the principal, which made everyone suddenly realize something.
Then, the little sunflower who had been jumping around so enthusiastically spoke up.
[Why is the principal, such a wise and capable person, not sitting in his office working diligently, but instead running around rummaging through trash cans? Stop trying to connect everything to the principal.]
That makes some sense, but they still realized that this little sunflower was a bit like the principal's lackey, always appearing for the principal's sake.
If they didn't believe the principal wouldn't use an alternate account, they would have suspected that Little Sunflower was the principal himself.
[I think it was the principal. During the competition today, I saw him looking down from the window above the trash can. I didn't notice at the time, but now I realize that looking down is just observing the trash can, and he was even taking pictures with his phone. Most importantly, that creepy guy's clothes were exactly the same as the principal's.]
Oh ho! They felt like they had learned something new, and even Little Sunflower remained silent.
[So it really was the principal! I never expected the principal to like trash cans. Why didn't you say so earlier? Now we wouldn't need to hire a cleaning lady.]
[Hey upstairs, watch out! If the principal finds out, you're in big trouble.]
[Thanks for reminding me, I am anonymous.]
Then, more discussion slowly unfolded.
Dear [Name], you have been reported by Xiaokuihua for maliciously defaming others and have been suspended from speaking for 24 hours.
At that moment, the person who had been talking the most boldly, the person who posted the message, and the person who came forward to testify all received a report at the same time. The reporter was Xiaokuihua.
[Damn, this little sunflower is ruthless. Leaving aside the previous ones, she managed to successfully report this one. Does she have some powerful connections?]
[Do you think the reason Little Sunflower is so angry is because of the principal himself?]
An inconspicuous message was pushed to the top, and everyone saw it, including the principal, who was so frightened that he stopped trying to report it.
These students are too smart; I guess I need to get a new account.
He had filled out all the forms and was almost ready to apply when he glanced at the content on the forum and decisively clicked cancel.
Thankfully, thankfully, these students weren't as clever as he thought, and his little sunflower was saved.
Girls' dormitory.
Xiyi quietly approached the two of them and excitedly said, "Do you know what? The creepy old man I photographed today is actually the principal! I'm so surprised!"
Shen Hua and the other looked at her. If she had known what happened to the principal last time, she definitely wouldn't have said that she was so surprised by this.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Did you already know? So fast? I'm the owner of the building, and I'm not as fast as you."
Shen Hua already knew, while Shang Wenwen had just found out, so she asked out of curiosity, and then pulled Xi Yi over to talk about it.
The very next day, while the students were in class, the team roster was announced.
This prompted the students to secretly check one by one. Even those who were paying attention in class got wind of it, stopped listening to the lesson, and took out their phones to check.
The teachers in class turned a blind eye, but they were also quite curious.
So, the generous teacher arranged for the students to wipe it together, while the shy teacher made an excuse to go outside and also took out her phone to check.
Unfortunately, the school has a rule that only eight teachers can go in the end. It depends on the number of students in each class who can go.
So not only the students are interested, but they are also very interested and wish they could go up and compete themselves.
But that's just wishful thinking; going to such a competition would only make them lose.
On Shen Hua's side, she found out who was in her group: herself, Shang Wenwen, Xie Sichen, Zhou Xin, and Xu Ru.
"Little sister, we're in the same group, and so is Senior Xie. That's great! I feel like we'll get first place."
Shang Wenwen was so happy that she forgot her aloofness. In fact, she had become less aloof since she started spending more time with Qi Yi, and her speech would sometimes have an unintentional touch of girlish charm.
"Yes, we're in the same group."
They need to get back quickly to cure Xie Sichen's poison and help him recover. That way, their chances of winning this round will be secure.
There's no need to waste time competing in individual events.
They were happy, but Nangong Rui was not. The three of them were not in the same group, and the other members were people they had never even heard of, and there were mostly girls.
The girl was just crying and sobbing when she was with Nangong Rui; I don't remember much else about her.
Just as he was thinking this, his phone lit up. It was a message from Jin Jiao asking him to come out and meet her.
"Xiao Nan, if you don't come out and meet us soon, I'm going to come in and arrest you!"
