Zhou Xue just kept crying and didn't react in any other way. The counselor couldn't help but raise his voice and repeat it again.
After saying that, he left the classroom without caring whether Zhou Xue responded or not.
Anyway, after the last class, he will come to find Zhou Xue in person, and she must apologize on the radio as required, otherwise the punishment will be more severe.
After the counselor left, Zhou Xue became even more emotionally devastated. She covered her face and ran out of the classroom crying.
Cheng Nana pouted, "She deserves it. Who told her to do such a shameless thing?"
Jiang Manyue remained calm, as if nothing had happened.
The other students gathered together to discuss Zhou Xue's situation, and some even went to find their roommates in other majors and quickly shared this shocking news.
Within two breaks, before the last class, almost the entire Foreign Languages Department knew that the rumormonger in the Jiang Manyue incident had been punished by the school and was required to make a public apology on the radio after the last class.
At this time, Zhou Xue had already run away and no one knew where she had gone. She didn't come back to class the whole afternoon.
Cheng Nana curled her lips. "Could it be that he didn't want to apologize and ran off to hide somewhere? Did he think he'd be alright after avoiding today?"
Jiang Manyue shook her head. "Let her do whatever she wants. If she doesn't apologize today, there's still tomorrow. If she doesn't apologize tomorrow, there's still the day after tomorrow. We're only sophomores, so we still have time to study. I can afford to wait."
After the last class, the counselor came to the classroom as promised, but did not see Zhou Xue.
"Where's Zhou Xueren? I was at the classroom door before get out of class was over. Is she not in class?"
The student sitting closest to the podium shook his head. "She ran out as soon as you left in the afternoon and never came back. I guess she was too embarrassed to see anyone, so she went into hiding."
The counselor was a little angry. "She ignored my words? The school asked her to make a public apology, and she thought she could get away with it like that?"
Since she was either in the classroom or in the dormitory, the counselor simply called Jiang Manyue and Cheng Nana to accompany him to the dormitory to find Zhou Xue.
Jiang Manyue is the person involved, and Cheng Nana is her roommate. They live in the same building as Zhou Xue, so it would be convenient for them to go together.
The three of them returned to the dormitory together, greeted the dormitory manager, and then found Zhou Xue's dormitory.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xue was not in the dormitory. Her roommate said that he had returned during the break of the second class and had not seen Zhou Xue.
The counselor suddenly felt something was wrong. She was neither in the classroom nor in the dormitory. So where did she go?
Jiang Manyue and Cheng Nana looked at each other and felt something was strange.
The counselor immediately turned around and prepared to call the students to help find Zhou Xue. After he learned that Zhou Xue had not returned to the dormitory, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Jiang Manyue and Cheng Nana had no choice but to follow him. The students majoring in English, Zhou Xue's roommates and other enthusiastic students began to look for Zhou Xue all over the school.
There is strength in numbers. Soon, several boys found Zhou Xue in a corner of the school's viewing lake. She was about to jump into the lake.
Several boys rushed over quickly and held Zhou Xue down, preventing her from jumping into the lake.
After holding Zhou Xue down, a boy ran to find the counselor. The counselor rushed to the scene and saw Zhou Xue crying and struggling desperately, insisting on jumping into the lake.
The counselor was anxious, "Zhou Xue, what are you doing!"
Zhou Xue ignored him and just kept crying. She even struggled to jump into the lake, but was held down by several boys.
Jiang Manyue and Cheng Nana also heard that Zhou Xue was about to jump into the lake but was stopped, so they hurried over.
As soon as the two arrived at the lake, they saw the counselor jumping up and down. Zhou Xue turned a deaf ear to him and was determined to jump into the lake.
Cheng Nana was shocked. "I heard this lake is very deep. If you jump in, you will probably die."
Jiang Manyue held her down and said, "Don't move here. I'll go over and take a look."
Just as Cheng Nana was about to stop her, she saw Jiang Manyue walking quickly towards Zhou Xue.
"If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"
Hearing Jiang Manyue's voice, Zhou Xue seemed to come back to her senses and looked up at her.
"Are you here to see me laugh? You can't wait to see me die, right?"
Jiang Manyue looked at her with eyes full of pity, "I just want to see what kind of person is so fragile that he would give up his life for such a small thing."
Zhou Xue's eyes almost turned red. "It's a small matter for you, but for me it's a major matter that affects the rest of my life! Of course you feel relieved!"
Jiang Manyue's tone remained calm. "What if I can't find the person who spread the rumors? Will I have to bear the rumors you made about me and be criticized for the rest of my life? I might even be expelled from school for my misconduct, ruining my life. Do you think this is a small matter for me?"
Zhou Xue was speechless, but she still felt that Jiang Manyue came here just to force her to death.
"Now it's me who's being punished. It's me who's being publicly apologized. It's me who's being humiliated. I'm going to carry this stain on my shoulders forever. No matter which employer I go to, they'll see the disciplinary record in my file! I'm the one being ruined! Not you!"
Jiang Manyue looked at the somewhat crazy Zhou Xue and sneered, "If you didn't harbor malicious intentions, would you be punished? You brought all this upon yourself, are you blaming me?"
Zhou Xue was speechless again, but she was going to be punished and had to make a public apology. Her life was ruined, so what was the point of her living?
"Okay, I don't blame you, I don't blame anyone, I only blame myself, I blame myself!"
As Zhou Xue spoke, she began to struggle again, trying to break free from the control of several male classmates and jump directly into the lake.
The counselor couldn't stand it anymore and rushed over and slapped Zhou Xue in the face.
Zhou Xue was stunned, stopped, and looked at the counselor in disbelief.
"Zhou Xue, you really disappoint me!"
The counselor looked at Zhou Xue with a sharp and heartbreaking look. "Was it easy for your parents to raise you? Was it easy for you to go to college? Do you know how difficult it is to get admission to the first class? You did something like this in school and you're still trying to commit suicide. Who are you being honest with?!"
Zhou Xue broke down and burst into tears. "I'm so sorry to everyone! But what can I do? My record is tainted. What future do I have? My parents paid for my college education, but I can't even find a good job. What's the point of living?"
The counselor looked at her with deep sorrow, "If you knew the consequences, why did you do that in the first place? You're hurting others and yourself!"
Zhou Xue cried so sadly. How could she dare to say that? She had never thought that there would be such serious consequences. She only wanted Jiang Manyue to be unlucky. She never thought that she would be the unlucky person in the end.
