Only Lü Ziqun and Song Hongye were in the dormitory. The others were not there. Sun Yurong and Dong Siyue were busy developing their careers in the entertainment industry and hadn't come back to live there for several months. Ruan Yingzi had also gone on a trip and was having a great time with Li Wuming. Only Lü Ziqun and Song Hongye lived in the dormitory regularly, and both of them had been admitted to graduate school.
The two men noticed that Ye Qingqing's expression was just as strange as everyone else's. Ye Qingqing couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you all? Is there something on my face?"
"You don't know?" Lu Ziqun asked in surprise.
Ye Qingqing was even more puzzled. "What do I know? I don't know anything. What's going on? Why are you all acting so mysteriously?"
Lu Ziqun and Song Hongye exchanged glances. It seemed that Ye Qingqing really didn't know, which made things strange.
“There’s been a lot of gossip at school lately. They’re saying that Qian Manduo and An Hong were assaulted by some thugs the other day, which is why they changed their clothes and haven’t gone to work yet. Their female classmates who work at KFC with them have confirmed that they really didn’t go to work,” Lu Ziqun explained.
Ye Qingqing frowned. "Who is spreading rumors? They clearly had a minor car accident that day, which is why they didn't go to work. I was there at the time and know it clearly. Who is so malicious as to ruin their reputation?"
Lu Ziqun pondered for a moment, then asked seriously, "There are only three of us. To be honest, Qian Manduo and An Hong were definitely not in a car accident. The marks on their bodies are clearly scratches, on their necks, arms, and chests. Car accidents can only cause large-area injuries, not scratches. Those marks are obviously from a struggle. We are all medical students; such a clumsy lie is easily exposed."
Ye Qingqing's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, she had forgotten about that.
"Qingqing, what exactly happened? The things people are saying outside are really nasty. Qian Manduo and An Hong are too scared to go out. An Hong's eyes are all swollen from crying," Song Hongye said.
"I can't say for sure right now, but I can say with certainty that they are innocent, I guarantee it with my integrity."
Ye Qingqing hurriedly said something and went upstairs to find Qian Manduo and the others. This matter cannot be dealt with passively; we must find a way to stop the rumors, otherwise they will be drowned in their spittle.
Damn it, don't let her catch that bastard who spread rumors!
"Xiao Hong, don't cry. Crying won't solve anything. We have nothing to hide, so don't pay attention to those rumors." Qian Manduo's voice came out, sounding quite calm. Ye Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and felt somewhat gratified. Qian Manduo was indeed more determined, and her personality was destined to lead to success in her career.
Ye Qingqing pushed open the door and said loudly, "Yes, I can prove for you that those rumors are deliberately spread by someone."
Qian Manduo's eyes welled up with tears. Although it was only three short days, it felt like an eternity. She didn't know how she got through it. Everyone doubted her and An Hong. Even the teacher didn't believe it. Those suspicious eyes and rumors were like knives cutting into her heart.
She truly experienced the feeling of each day dragging on endlessly.
She also experienced firsthand the terrifying unpredictability of human nature.
"Qian Manduo, someone is looking for you." The dormitory supervisor's deep voice rang out from downstairs. Qian Manduo was stunned for a moment, hesitating to go down. Although she appeared calm, she was putting on a brave face. In reality, she also wanted to cry, and she also wanted a shoulder to lean on and someone to tell her, "Don't be afraid."
