The next day, early in the morning, the sky was cloudless and the weather was fine.
The students all walked towards the flag-raising square, as raising the national flag is an age-old tradition.
Liu Xiaolan helped the injured Wu Youyou into the group.
The thousands of teachers and students quickly lined up in the usual order, and as the national anthem played, the national flag was raised into the air by several outstanding male students.
After the music ended, the vice principal gave a speech, mainly urging everyone to study hard and encouraging the senior students to prepare for the college entrance examination.
When the vice principal mentioned that Chen Liang had to write a self-criticism, Wu Youyou frowned slightly. She involuntarily looked at Class 2 of Grade 3 and saw Chen Liang with his head down, holding a piece of paper in his hand, walking slowly, and looking very dejected.
"Hurry up!"
The vice principal on the stage shouted impatiently.
Chen Liang's body trembled slightly, and he quickened his pace. Soon, he was standing on the stage.
Chen Liang looked up and saw that all the teachers and students in the school were staring at him. His eyes were darting around, he was nervous and uneasy, and his cheeks were slightly flushed.
"read!"
The vice principal spoke up again!
Chen Liang began to read aloud his thousand-word self-criticism, word by word. At first, it was all polite talk, but at the end, it was his "blood and tears of repentance".
"I, Chen Liang, shouldn't have developed feelings for a girl at an age when I should be studying. I was wrong. In the beginning, when Wu Youyou took the initiative to talk to me, I shouldn't have paid any attention to her. It's all my fault for being weak-willed. Wu Youyou contacted me for almost a month, showing concern for me every day, which moved me deeply. That's when I became obsessed and confessed to Wu Youyou, which caused a misunderstanding. Wu Youyou was probably just being kind and caring towards her classmate, but I didn't know what was important and thought she liked me, which led me astray. Today, I sincerely repent to everyone. I shouldn't have been so fickle, unable to distinguish between right and wrong, and misinterpreted Wu Youyou's pure concern for me. In the future, I will work hard, study hard, and apologize to Wu Youyou!"
"Splash..."
A commotion erupted in the room, with all sorts of discussions about Wu Youyou. Some said she was scheming, others said she was shameless and deliberately seducing people, and some classmates even used her poor grades as a reason to directly shame her...
In contrast, Chen Liang is handsome, a great singer, comes from a good family, and has many fans online. People mostly feel sympathy for him.
His self-criticism seemed sincere, but it actually concealed a murderous intent, turning public opinion to one side and instantly portraying himself as a victim, while Wu Youyou was about to be swept away by the storm.
Liu Xiaolan whispered worriedly in Wu Youyou's ear.
"Youyou, how could he say that to you? What should you do?"
Wu Youyou turned around and smiled at her.
"Little Lazy, do you believe me?"
"I believe you, of course I believe you, you're not that kind of person!"
Liu Xiaolan blurted out the answer almost without thinking, which made Wu Youyou's smile even wider.
"Why don't you seem worried at all?"
"What's there to worry about? I haven't done any of those things, so I have a clear conscience!"
Wu Youyou looked at the vice principal on the stage, whose face was as black as an iron pot. Obviously, he hadn't expected Chen Liang to say that in the end. It was not what he wanted to see at all. He had read the self-criticism and found no problems with it, which was why he let Chen Liang read it.
This kid actually dared to do that!
The vice principal glared at Chen Liang, then looked sternly at the many teachers and students below the stage.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I know a little about this matter, and I also know some about the other person involved, Wu Youyou. The truth of the matter needs to be explained by the parties involved themselves. If any party is found to have a problem, the school will expel them."
All the students gasped. Was it really that serious? It meant that one of them was definitely going to be expelled today!
Those students who had previously gathered at the school gate still trusted Wu Youyou quite a bit, and they all echoed what the vice principal said.
"Yes, Wu Youyou can go on stage to defend herself."
......
Wu Youyou walked through the crowd to the front of the stage, and looked at the questioning expressions of the students below. A slight smile appeared on her lips.
"Hello teachers and classmates, I am Wu Youyou, a student in Class 6 of Senior 3! I do not agree with anything Chen Liang said, because I have never done it, nor have I added him on WeChat, nor have I ever contacted him."
"You're lying! You were the one who contacted me first. I rarely replied at first, but you harassed me every day, and that's how I fell for your trick!"
Chen Liang vehemently refuted Wu Youyou's words.
He projected the image of a helpless and aggrieved victim onto all the students, evoking deep sympathy from them.
Chen Liang even took out his phone and showed everyone his chat history, and even read out some obscene words.
Immediately, the students began to criticize Wu Youyou for indiscriminately accusing her.
Shi Zhan stared blankly at Wu Youyou on the stage, his face devoid of any emotion.
Song Shaojie stomped his feet in anger, wishing he could rush up and beat Chen Liang up.
"That Chen Liang has absolutely no manners. He was rejected after confessing his feelings, and he just slanders the girl like that. How is she supposed to live her life after that?"
"Don't worry, she'll handle it!"
Song Shaojie was taken aback and looked at Shi Zhan with a puzzled expression.
How did you know?
"You can tell just by looking at her expression!"
Song Shaojie then turned his gaze to Wu Youyou on the stage and found her to be calm, composed, and without any sign of panic.
