"Hello everyone, I'm Li Jing. I'd like to take a few minutes of your time to confess my mistakes. Last night, I was frustrated with my online relationship and felt depressed. When I saw Lan Shuang hugging a strange man, I misunderstood her. Out of jealousy, I posted a rumor, which seriously violated Lan Shuang's reputation and portrait rights."
Li Jing's voice gradually choked up. "After being educated by the police, I deeply realized my mistake and felt deeply guilty towards Lan Shuang. Here, I solemnly apologize to Lan Shuang. I'm sorry, please forgive me!"
"At the same time, I have deleted the post on Tieba and published a clarification post to publicly apologize. I hope everyone will share it and clear Lan Shuang's name. I have also shared the whole story in all school groups. I hope everyone will take this as a warning and not think the internet is a lawless place. Please stop attacking and insulting Lan Shuang. Thank you."
After Li Jing apologized, the class was quiet for a moment, then suddenly became lively. Everyone looked at Lan Shuang. The teacher also looked at her, nodded, and said, "I knew Lan Shuang wouldn't do that kind of thing. Even if a student did do something, that's their private matter and shouldn't be publicized. Everyone should read more law-related books when they have time. Don't be complacent and think you're a warrior for justice."
The classmates were still frightened, and many of them who had followed the trend and despised Lan Shuang blushed with shame.
Lan Shuang didn't bother with them. Following the trend is the nature of most people. Under the overwhelming rumors, only a few can remain sober and rational. Most people's mild scolding is actually nothing, but when accumulated, it will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
"This matter is over, let's get on with the class." Lan Shuang looked at the teacher, who nodded appreciatively. "Okay, I have a few minutes left. I'll assign the tasks for next week."
After class, Lan Shuang was surrounded by people. Some of her classmates surrounded her and apologized to her. Some felt sorry for her and scolded Li Jing.
Lan Shuang just smiled and said nothing more.
She doesn't care about compensating for the damage done, because the person she cares about is already dead.
…
After returning to the dormitory, Tang Su and Qin Lulu came up to Lan Shuang one by one and gave her a hug. Qin Lulu even glanced at Jiang Yao inside and said sarcastically, "Some people are so shameless. They cursed me more than anyone else before, but now they are stubbornly refusing to apologize. I feel ashamed for them."
Jiang Yao's face turned red, she felt embarrassed and angry, but she couldn't find any words to refute. She simply threw the book down, picked up her bag and strode out. As a result, she bumped into Qin Lulu when she passed by her.
Jiang Yao glared at her. "You did this on purpose, didn't you? Apologize!"
Qin Lulu snorted and laughed. "Apologize, okay? Apologize to Lan Shuang first."
Jiang Yao: “…”
She gritted her teeth, unable to bring herself to do so, and turned and fled.
"What a thing! Her mouth is harder than a stone in the toilet. When it comes to the critical moment, she can only cheat. If she has the guts, she shouldn't come back tonight!"
Qin Lulu was so angry that Lan Shuang patted her on the back and said, "Okay, don't bother with her. People like her will suffer in the future. Speaking of which, you helped me a lot this time. I'll treat you to a meal. Tell me, what do you want to eat?"
"Really?" Qin Lulu was happy again. She and Tang Su looked at each other and said in unison, "Hot pot!"
"The purpose of eating hot pot on a hot day is excitement."
Lan Shuang agreed, and the three of them went out happily.
Shen Yunxun was sitting restlessly in his dormitory, afraid that Li Jing would come back.
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She picked up her bag and wanted to go out, but the door was suddenly opened and Li Jing walked in. Without saying a word, she slapped Shen Yunxun.
There was a crisp "pop" sound, and everyone passing by in the corridor was startled.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Yunxun was stunned, covering his face and looking at Li Jing in disbelief.
"What? Beat you, of course!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Shen Yunxun's hair, dragged her over, and slapped her again.
People in the corridor ran around to tell each other, and soon a group of people watching the fight stood at the door of their dormitory, but no one tried to stop them.
"Chen Yunxun, I've never seen you so despicable. You're so good at saying one thing in front of me and another behind my back. I thought you and Lan Shuang were really together, so I believed you. You said you didn't know that man and that Lan Shuang's family had no money, but what happened? He's her biological father!"
The more Li Jing thought about it, the angrier she became. She glared at Shen Yunxun viciously, wishing she could tear her to pieces. Shen Yunxun took a step back in fear, tripped over the chair leg, and staggered to sit down.
"Lan Shuang told me that she told you about her family as soon as she got back. So why were you pretending to me yesterday? I asked you, and you said you didn't know. You're such a good hypocrite! You can even backstab your own friends. You've really mastered the art of double-dealing!"
They originally thought that the broadcast apology was the whole truth, but they didn't expect that Shen Yunxun was involved in this matter. Many people knew about the relationship between Shen Yunxun and Lan Shuang, so they were even more shocked.
They pointed at Shen Yunxun and said, "My goodness, this bit of melon really shocked my whole family. It turns out that she was behind this!"
"Lan Shuang is so unlucky to have such a friend. Li Jing spread rumors out of jealousy. I think she's the one who's truly jealous, right?"
"Yeah, I remember her family wasn't doing too well either. And now Lan Shuang, who's just like me, has become a young lady. She must be feeling unbalanced, right?"
"You better stay away from her from now on. Be careful not to get stabbed by her."
These words turned into sharp swords that pierced into Shen Yunxun's heart.
She didn't hear what Li Jing said afterwards. Her ears were buzzing and she just wanted to escape from there.
Yes, escape!
Shen Yunxun's mind was no longer working. She grabbed her phone and bag, pushed the people at the door away, and ran out.
"Hey—what are you running for?"
The noisy voices were left behind, and the hot night wind blew over. Shen Yunxun calmed down instead. She looked at the playground with the street lights on, at a loss.
Where else could she go from here?
After hesitating for a long time, she decided to stay in a nearby hotel for one night, and when she returned to school tomorrow, she would go directly to her counselor to discuss changing dormitories.
After renting a small room in the hotel, Shen Yunxun went to wash her face. Suddenly, her cell phone rang, and she shivered with fear.
She picked it up and took a look. It was Jiang Siming calling.
Her fingers were shaking, and she pressed the wrong button several times, almost hanging up the phone.
After finally getting through, she burst into tears before she could say anything, which scared Jiang Siming on the other end.
"Xunxun? What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
"What happened? Where are you? You talk—"
"How about I come find you? Give me an address."
