"You think you know everything?" Shen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in annoyance, as if to say, "Isn't that obvious?"
The group walked away chatting and laughing, completely unaware that a sinister gaze was fixed on them from a short distance away.
Wei Tiantian stood in the shadows, gritting her teeth as she watched the departing figure, her heart filled with resentment.
"I will repay you for the humiliation you have caused me, tenfold!" Her voice was soft, but filled with resentment. With that, Wei Tiantian turned and left.
As Shen Xiaoxiao walked, she suddenly felt something was off, and a feeling of being watched welled up in her heart.
She involuntarily stopped and looked back, but there was no one behind her, only silence.
"What's wrong? Is something the problem?" Dai Xingyun asked with concern when she saw her stop.
"It's nothing, maybe it's just my imagination." Shen Xiaoxiao shook her head, trying to dispel the feeling of unease.
Nevertheless, she couldn't help but glance back a few more times to make sure there was nothing unusual before continuing on her way.
In the days that followed, Shen Xiaoxiao and her friends continued to live their carefree lives as usual.
However, they were unaware that a meticulously planned revenge was brewing in the shadows.
That day, the peaceful campus was suddenly disrupted by a rumor, and the protagonist of the rumor was none other than Wei Tiantian.
"Have you heard? Wei Tiantian's private life is a mess. I heard she's been with several men and often steals other people's things!"
"Really? She seems like such a quiet girl, how could she do this?"
Such words quietly circulated among the students, and Wei Tiantian soon felt the strange looks around her.
As she walked down the street, she always felt that people were pointing and whispering behind her back, and the whispers could be heard from time to time.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn't pay much attention to these rumors.
She felt that this matter had nothing to do with her, so she didn't pay any attention to it.
However, to her utter surprise, the rumor snowballed, becoming increasingly outrageous. In the end, it escalated to a version that left her speechless—"The one who spread the rumor was herself!"
The news quickly spread throughout the campus, and even Xiahou Jie and Dai Xingyun heard about it and rushed over to find Shen Xiaoxiao.
"Little sister, what's the story behind this rumor? Did you accidentally offend someone?" Xiahou Jie asked anxiously.
Shen Xiaoxiao felt a little confused. She shook her head and said, "I just go back and forth between two points all day at this school. I've never offended anyone."
“No, I think I’ve thought of someone…” Shen Xiaoxiao said, then looked at Dai Xingyun.
Dai Xingyun looked at Shen Xiaoxiao, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. It was clear that Dai Xingyun knew what he was thinking.
"Who are you talking about? Wei Tiantian or Qin Tian?" Xiahou Jie immediately realized what was going on, glanced at his brother, and then turned to ask Shen Xiaoxiao.
Shen Xiaoxiao shrugged and said helplessly, "I've never argued with anyone, except these two."
Dai Xingyun looked at her hesitantly, wanting to speak but not knowing what to say.
"Alright, I'm not angry. You made it clear to her in front of me, and you didn't lie to me," Shen Xiaoxiao comforted gently, a faint smile on her lips.
At this seemingly peaceful moment, Qin Tian appeared before them as if by suddenness.
His appearance instantly turned the relaxed atmosphere tense.
"Shen Xiaoxiao, how could you be so 'vicious'?" Qin Tian's face was full of anger, and his voice was full of accusation.
Shen Xiaoxiao was startled by the sudden roar. Her body trembled violently, her brows furrowed tightly, and she looked at Qin Tian with suspicion, seemingly completely unable to understand why he was so agitated.
"Qin Tian, stop making trouble here!" Seeing that Shen Xiaoxiao was frightened, Dai Xingyun immediately stepped forward to block her.
Shen Xiaoxiao composed herself, suppressing her inner unease, and retorted, "How am I vicious? Explain yourself!"
Seeing this, Qin Tian sneered, his eyes burning with raging anger as if he wanted to devour Shen Xiaoxiao.
"The evidence is conclusive, yet you still won't admit it!" Qin Tian's words came down like a sharp sword.
"Qin Tian, that's enough!" Dai Xingyun's voice carried a hint of anger. "Show me your evidence, and stop spouting nonsense!"
Xiahou Jie also stepped forward and said righteously, "That's right! If you can't produce any evidence, don't make baseless accusations here!"
Faced with the questions from Dai Xingyun and Xiahou Jie, Qin Tian suddenly became speechless, his eyes began to flicker, and he seemed to feel a little guilty.
Just then, Wei Tiantian slowly walked out from the crowd.
Her face showed obvious sadness and grievance, her eyes were slightly red, and tears were welling up in her eyes.
"Qin Tian, don't waste your energy, she won't admit it," Wei Tiantian said softly, her voice choked with emotion, which evoked pity in people.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Wei Tiantian, and her doubts instantly vanished. She immediately understood who was the mastermind behind all of this.
"Wei Tiantian, you're the one pulling the strings behind my back, aren't you?" Shen Xiaoxiao's voice was calm and firm, her gaze fixed on Wei Tiantian without the slightest hesitation.
When no one could see her, Wei Tiantian smiled smugly at Shen Xiaoxiao. But the moment she looked up, she pretended to be wronged and innocent, saying, "I don't understand what you're saying. How could I possibly spread rumors about myself?"
Shen Xiaoxiao knew very well that without solid evidence, no matter how she explained, no one would believe her.
Feeling utterly helpless, she could only retort to Wei Tiantian, "You keep saying I'm spreading rumors about you, so I'd like to ask you, why would I spread rumors about you? Do we have a grudge against each other?"
Wei Tiantian really wanted to tell everyone loudly that there was indeed a grudge between them.
However, she knew in her heart that if she said it out loud, she would expose her true intentions.
So, she suppressed her inner impulse and continued to pretend to be innocent, saying, "I know, although Xingyun and I grew up together, there really isn't anything special between us."
"Little sister, you shouldn't make up rumors to slander me over such a small matter."
Hearing Wei Tiantian's words, Shen Xiaoxiao was so angry that she almost laughed out loud.
She felt that Wei Tiantian was completely distorting the truth; it was clearly Wei Tiantian who was spreading rumors, yet she was turning around and accusing her.
Shen Xiaoxiao retorted without hesitation, "You really know how to twist the truth! I didn't spread any rumors at all. On the contrary, you're the one crying 'stop thief!'"
