"Don't listen to her nonsense. We were all reading together last night. I went to the bathroom with Tang Wei and didn't go out again. Kang Yan's book was still in her hand at that time. Besides... her grades were not good enough to pass the exam. Even if I didn't like her, I wouldn't do it in this way. It didn't work and it only caused trouble. Instead of doubting me, you might as well think about who left the dormitory from last night to this morning..."
Nie Xiangdie's argument was clear and logical, and everyone agreed. When they finished reading last night, Nie Xiangdie had already fallen asleep, and they were still woken up by Kang Yan this morning. So it seemed that Nie Xiangdie should not have been the one to blame.
"It's impossible that it's our male educated youth. I think the culprit is still the female educated youth." Lei Wen took the initiative to clear the male educated youth. After all, the female educated youth was asleep and they couldn't get in...
"You guys, think about who went out last night." Seeing that something was wrong, the captain asked them to figure it out themselves.
"I wasn't affected. My bed was at the back and I didn't hear any movement at the door," Tang Wei said.
"What about you? Your bed is closer to the door, right?" the captain asked Nie Shuhui
Nie Shuhui dodged her gaze, as if to cheer herself up, and said in a hoarse voice, "My bed is at the door, so what? I was sleeping soundly and didn't hear any noise. Captain, you can't wrongly accuse me."
"I'm just analyzing and asking you, why are you so angry? Why are you yelling at me?" The captain was getting angrier and angrier. It was bad enough that he couldn't sleep well early in the morning, but he came here and had to suffer such injustice!
As the captain got angry, Nie Shuhui instantly became dispirited. She subconsciously took a step back and muttered softly, "It has nothing to do with me. I slept soundly and heard nothing. I woke up in the morning."
Hearing Nie Shuhui's words, Zhou Ningxin tugged at Tang Wei's sleeve and whispered, "I seemed to see someone get up, but I didn't see clearly who it was."
"Just pretend you don't know," Tang Wei stopped Zhou Ningxin. It was most likely Nie Shuhui who did it, but Zhou Ningxin didn't see the person clearly, nor did she have any evidence to prove it.
Such a small matter can't do anything to Nie Shuhui, but if Nie Shuhui knew that Zhou Ningxin might have seen it, she would be bullied because of her soft personality. It's better to have less trouble than more. As Nie Xiangdie said, Kang Yan can't get into university... She can't even do the most basic questions on weekdays, so it doesn't matter whether she reads the book or not.
There were only a few female educated youth at the site, and after asking around, they all said they didn't know. The team leader was about to say that the matter should be forgotten, when he looked at Zhou Ningxin in the corner and asked, "Zhou Zhiqing, did you see anything?"
Zhou Ningxin was timid. When asked by the captain, she subconsciously looked at Nie Shuhui, and then stammered, "No... No, I didn't see it."
"Really didn't see it?" The captain glanced at the nervous Zhou Ningxin, and then looked at Nie Shuhui who was glaring at Zhou Ningxin threateningly. The captain knew what was going on, but just as Tang Wei thought, it was a small matter that wouldn't cause any commotion. The captain came here because he was worried that the educated youth would start fighting and cause trouble.
There was no evidence, and Zhou Ningxin insisted that she had not seen it. The captain was not sure what to say, "You saw it too, but no one else knows. Put the book in the sun to dry. If you can't do it these few days, read it with the educated youth."
"Captain! How could you do this? Are you just going to let it go just because my book is broken?"
"Then what do you say we should do?" The captain slapped the table. He had had enough. It was really annoying to keep arguing about trivial matters.
"I...I...it was Nie Xiangdie who did it," Kang Yan said weakly. She had only offended Nie Xiangdie recently. Who else could it be except Nie Xiangdie!
"Forget it, Kang Yan, if it really doesn't work, you can read mine. There are several courses, we can take turns reading them." Bai Siyuan said. Kang Yan finally calmed down and stood beside Bai Siyuan shyly, "Thank you, Brother Siyuan, I will definitely protect your books."
Bai Siyuan nodded in response, but he moved away a little with some disgust, raised his eyes and met Nie Xiangdie's gaze, dodging again.
Sensing the other party's evasion, Nie Xiangdie lowered her eyes and couldn't help but sneered, but in the end she didn't say anything.
The matter was settled, and the captain asked everyone to disperse quickly, but when Nie Shuhui was about to leave, he stopped everyone.
"Nie Shuhui, wait a moment, I have something to tell you"
The captain waited until everyone else left before continuing, "You should know who did this. The college entrance examination is just a few days away, so I'll give you some face. You should behave yourself so that everyone doesn't lose face in the end."
"Captain, this has nothing to do with me!" Nie Shuhui wanted to continue arguing, but the captain was not interested in listening to her unspoken words and interrupted her, "Whether it was you or not, you know it very well. I don't want to make things awkward, so don't argue with me about this. If you cause any more trouble, I will drag you to the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with the investigation. Can you still pass this exam?"
The captain threatened Nie Shuhui. He didn't ask these people to bring honor to the village. As long as they didn't cause any trouble, he would be at ease. He said this without caring about Nie Shuhui's face.
When the captain said this, Nie Shuhui lowered her head and dared not say anything. It was not until she heard the captain ask her to go back that she reluctantly left.
And when the captain left Nie Shuhui alone
Tang Wei pulled Zhou Ningxin and held her books as she walked out of the Youth League Center. "Ningxin, let's go see Yule and Wanshu early. I heard that Yule and the others plan to live in the town before the exam. It's snowing so heavily, why don't we go ask them if we can live together? Even if we have to pay some money, it's better than going to the town so early in the morning. What's more, after what happened today, we can't expect to live in peace in the Youth League Center anymore."
