It was Christmas one year. Holidays like this always give young boys and girls who are just beginning to fall in love a reason to do things that they would not dare to do under normal circumstances.
It could be a confession, a gift, or even an invitation that one has considered for several times before making.
Qu Yiran naturally received many gifts that expressed her love, and she even pulled Qin Wen and a few other girls to laugh at their writing style in love letters.
Although Qin Wen didn't like those boys, he still disapproved of Qu Yiren's behavior of mocking other people's feelings.
But Qu Yiran didn't take it seriously. She was used to getting what she wanted and didn't care about their thoughts. Instead, she complained that Qin Wen was going against her.
Qin Wen knew Qu Yiran's character, so even though he felt helpless, he didn't say much.
However, it was such a small dispute that gave Qu Yiran an idea for a prank.
On Christmas of his second year in high school, Qin Wen received a love letter from Qu Yiran.
After evening self-study, Qin Wen went to the back building of the school, where few people went, to wait for Qu Yiran as promised.
However, waiting for her was not only Qu Yiran, but also several classmates who were watching the fun.
Seeing the rose in Qin Wen's hand, Qu Yiran smiled heartlessly, "You really like me. I was wondering why you were so angry this afternoon."
Wang Qing was among them, as attentive as a dog. "I told you, she just likes you. Thanks to you for listening to me and trying it out. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to have such a pervert by your side."
“…”
No matter how Wang Qing ridiculed him, Qin Wen never said a word.
And since then, she and Qu Yiran have become strangers.
What happened that day was exaggerated and spread everywhere, and even the teacher called Qin Wen in private.
From then on, whenever Qin Wen spoke a few more words to any girl, they would say that Qin Wen liked her and wanted to take the opportunity to get close to her, and even made up a lie that the two of them were secretly together.
In order to avoid becoming the protagonist of gossip, the girls in the class did not isolate Qin Wen, but they also reduced their contact with her.
Not only that, Wang Qing and his friends often played pranks on Qin Wen. Whenever Qin Wen objected or got angry, they would exaggerate what happened that day and tell him the story again.
...
Hearing this, Su Man understood why Qin Wen didn't confront Wang Qing and the others head-on. If she had confronted Wang Qing in that situation today, and Wang Qing brought up what happened back then, she would probably be the one to be embarrassed.
No wonder, no wonder Qin Wen refused to give her the school uniform in front of others. He must be afraid that those people would frame them like they framed others.
"Yang Man?"
Seeing Su Man lost in thought, Jia Guoguo waved her hand in front of her eyes, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing. Go on. What about Qu Yiran? Doesn't she feel sorry for what happened?"
"Tsk, how could a little princess like her realize her own problem? Maybe she even thinks Qin Wen is taking advantage of her."
Hearing the disgust in Jia Guoguo's tone, Su Man raised an eyebrow, "You don't seem to like her?"
"How could that be? I was just annoying her."
Jia Guoguo's voice grew louder as she spoke. "What did Qin Wen do wrong? If you ask me, Qin Wen's biggest mistake was falling for someone like her, someone like her..."
"Ignorant wolf."
"Yes, it's an ungrateful person!"
Jia Guoguo agreed very much. "Before, Qin Wen was almost like her servant. He bought her food and did her chores. He even asked Qin Wen to help her go to the toilet..."
Jia Guoguo covered her mouth and muttered to herself, "Quality, I must pay attention to my quality."
Su Man looked at her with amusement. Jia Guoguo coughed twice and said, "Just treat her well anyway. If I were her, even if I didn't like Qin Wen, I wouldn't hurt her like that."
Seeing her excited look, Su Man looked at Jia Guoguo and asked, "Do you know Qin Wen well?"
"Well, not really. She probably doesn't know who I am." Jia Guoguo said softly.
Su Man raised an eyebrow, "Is there a story?"
Jia Guoguo's face became a little more embarrassed, "It's not really a story..."
Talking about one's own gossip is far less enjoyable than talking about other people's gossip. Su Man asked for a long time before she understood.
In a nutshell, Jia Guoguo went to the supermarket to buy snacks but didn't bring any money, so Qin Wen paid for her.
But when Jia Guoguo spoke, it became complicated. For example, she described how panicked she was when she was holding a bunch of snacks, and how embarrassed she was by the gazes from people around her. She also emphasized the jasmine scent she smelled when Qin Wen got close to her.
Su Man suppressed her laughter, "Then how did you know she was a girl?"
Speaking of this, Jia Guoguo's expression became extremely melancholy, "Just, I ran into her in the toilet..."
Others met love around the corner, but she had her dream interrupted in the bathroom.
After knowing that Qin Wen was a girl, Jia Guoguo's romantic thoughts were scared away, but it did not prevent her from standing up for Qin Wen.
"Tell me, am I useless? I want to help her, but I'm afraid of being framed by those people and having some nonsense spread. If the teacher tells my parents again, I'll, ah, so..."
Jia Guoguo glanced at Su Man, then lowered her head again, "I wouldn't dare do what you did today."
Her voice gradually faded. "So I have no right to criticize Qu Yiran."
Su Man smiled and looked at her drooping little head. "Of course you are different from her. Only kind people will feel sad for others."
"real?"
Jia Guoguo's head was perked up again, "Don't you think I'm a coward?"
"How could that be?"
Su Man looked up at a few students in the front row who were whispering during the break. They looked in her direction while talking, then turned back when they were discovered. She said calmly, "If everyone could stop interfering in other people's lives, then these things wouldn't happen."
