Zhen Tian hadn't intended to stay long, but after being outside for a short while, her forehead started to sweat.
The decision was made on short notice, so she didn't even apply sunscreen.
"I'm going back now! Call me if you want anything to drink or eat." Zhen Tian said goodbye to everyone and then left.
A few days after the military training began, a rumor spread across the training ground.
It's said that Zhen Tian, a student in the animation design department, comes from a powerful family and was able to skip military training despite having no health problems.
As the rumors spread, they evolved into eight hundred different versions.
Some say that Zhen Tian is a third-generation military officer, and that her descendants are very powerful, so much so that even the principal doesn't dare to mess with her.
Some say that Zhen Tian is spoiled and even dared to hit her teacher in order to avoid military training.
Opinions vary widely, with all sorts of opinions, but one thing is certain: none of them are positive.
That day, Ye Qingyan hid under the roots of a tree, drinking the ice water she had brought that morning, intending to rest well, but the chirping and chattering around her kept coming.
She pulled her hat over her face, preparing to take a nap.
Well, that's great, rumors about Zhen Tian started spreading right up to her ears.
"Hey, have you guys heard? There's a girl in the anime department with a really powerful background. We can't afford to mess with her."
"How come I've never heard of her? Isn't she Zhen Tian? Her name sounds cute, but I didn't expect her to be such an annoying person."
"That's right, I even heard from my sister that she personally witnessed Zhen Tian making someone kneel in front of her!"
Upon hearing Zhen Tian's name, Ye Qingyan immediately took her hat off her face. She raised an eyebrow. Zhen Tian, from the anime department?
"How disgusting! How can someone like that be in the same university as us?"
"Having money is one thing. What can't you do with money? I hate girls like that the most..."
Ye Qingyan stood up, walked to the group, and looked down at them: "Did you see Zhen Tian like this with your own eyes?"
"No, we heard..."
"What, you think you have ears? Or are you blind? You hear all the time, but do you even know if that stuff is reliable? You should be wary of anyone who tells you gossip. What kind of 'sisters' are you? They're probably just trying to scam you."
"Ye Qingyan, what do you mean?"
After Ye Qingyan entered university, things changed. She inexplicably became the enemy of all the girls. She didn't care much; who knew what these people were jealous of about her?
"What do I mean?" Ye Qingyan sneered, "I'm telling you, stop talking nonsense. Anyone who spreads rumors will..."
She leaned close to the girl, her face sinister: "Tear her mouth apart."
After saying that, Ye Qingyan turned and left gracefully.
I wonder if that silly girl Zhen Tian heard these rumors.
They're all in college now, and they still don't think before they speak.
"You know nothing."
When Ye Qingyan arrived at the group where Zhen Tian's department was located, she saw Zhen Tian's roommates being surrounded and attacked. She went over and heard Yang Tao cursing.
"You believe a rumor but not your classmates?"
“Exactly,” Jin Yaya agreed.
“You’ve really misunderstood,” Jiang Wei tried to explain, but no one paid any attention to the three of them.
“You’re her roommates, who knows if she’s bribed you?”
The girls didn't really believe it at first, but seeing how strongly her roommates reacted, they deliberately went against her and started to have doubts themselves.
"No way, what's wrong with all of you! Why are you dressed like this for such a trivial matter?" Ye Qingyan stood in front of Yang Tao and the others, exuding an imposing aura that made them no match for her.
"I'm warning you, nobody knew about Tian Tian taking leave, but it got out that people in your department definitely can't escape it. The person who spread the word knows what happened. You'd better keep quiet, or if I find out who it is, they'll start blabbing that I'll kill her."
As soon as Ye Qingyan spoke, everyone took a step back.
It was at this step that Zhen Tian, who was standing outside the crowd carrying a bunch of drinks, was revealed.
Ye Qingyan frowned: "You heard everything?"
Zhen Tian blinked in confusion: "What did you hear? I just arrived."
"It's nothing." Ye Qingyan smiled, giving the people around her a warning look.
But Jin Yaya couldn't hold back and complained: "They said you have connections and backing, and that your arrogance forces people to kneel down."
"Huh?" Zhen Tian tilted her head, looking completely bewildered. "Me?"
"It's you, you silly girl." Yang Tao pulled her to her side.
Ye Qingyan gave Jin Yaya a deep look, then said to Zhen Tian, "It's okay, it's just a rumor, no one will believe it."
"You mean this?" Zhen Tian suddenly realized, "I already knew, but I didn't expect it to get so serious."
"What's going on? Why are you all gathered together?" Shao Yuheng emerged from behind the crowd, carrying two large cases of drinks.
"President."
It is said that freshmen both yearn for and fear the position of student council president.
"Are you the student council president?" Ye Qingyan glanced at Shao Yuheng's name tag: "Perfect. Whether you report it or issue a public reprimand, you'd better pull out the tongues of these gossipy women. They're useless anyway, all they do is talk nonsense."
"What happened?"
Someone quietly explained to Shao Yuheng, and the more he listened, the deeper his brows furrowed.
"What nonsense are you spouting! Zhen Tian got her leave through proper procedures. Do you think the school is stupid or that we cadres are stupid? What military third-generation and making people kneel down? Have you been reading too many brainless novels?"
Ultimately, it's those with real power who carry the weight of their words. Everyone looked at each other, and no one said a word.
"The school will never tolerate any more rumors that damage someone's reputation." Shao Yuheng put the beverage box on the ground: "Thanks to Zhen Tian for buying you drinks because she felt guilty for not being able to do military training with everyone."
"If I hadn't happened to run into you, I wouldn't have known that you viewed that young girl like that."
"Think carefully before spreading rumors next time!"
After Shao Junli finished speaking, he walked to Zhen Tian's side and said, "If you need anything here, remember to contact me."
"Oh, okay, thank you for helping me carry the drinks, President."
Shao Yuheng came and went in a hurry.
Everyone was left standing there, looking at each other blankly.
Zhen Tian was the first to laugh. She said, "I know there have been a lot of rumors about me lately. I do have a problem that prevents me from participating in military training, but it's definitely not like those rumors about me being a third-generation military officer. I just didn't want people to look at me differently."
"No matter what, I still hope we can get along well in the future. I'm sorry I couldn't enjoy military training with everyone. Everyone must be tired, have some drinks. I don't care about these rumors. You don't need to overthink it."
"Yang Tao, Qing Yan, could you help me divide the drinks?"
"Sweetie!" Yang Tao disapproved of her being so easy to talk to.
"It wasn't a big deal to begin with."
