Shi Mingyue said: "No one in our dormitory told her. I wonder if she heard about it from somewhere else."
If that’s the case, Wen Qiuning definitely doesn’t know yet.
Because of her cold attitude, no one in the dormitory told her, let alone others.
Yu Xiangnian thought for a moment and said, "Shi Mingyue, try to find out who was the first to say that."
Now that the news has spread throughout the school, it is impossible to stop people from talking about it.
First of all, we need to investigate clearly who said such a thing. If it is a rumor, we must apologize to Wen Qiuning and clarify the rumor to everyone.
If it wasn't a rumor, things would be a bit difficult to handle.
If the matter gets out of hand and reaches the ears of the school leaders, the school may expel Wen Qiuning.
Qi Jing was fired for moral corruption, so Wen Qiuning's behavior must also be considered a moral issue.
The first issue now is that Wen Qiuning, as the person involved, must know about this matter and she must be prepared for the subsequent response.
After school, Wen Qiuning walked very fast, almost jogging.
She hurried to finish her meal and went to work in the bookstore.
Yu Xiangnian did not chase her to the cafeteria as there were too many people there and it was difficult to talk, but instead waited for her at the school gate.
Wen Qiuning was wearing a thick gray cotton coat and cotton pants, a scarf of the same color around her neck, and carrying a schoolbag. She was walking quickly when Yu Xiangnian called her.
Wen Qiuning knew that Yu Xiangnian went home after school every day. Seeing Yu Xiangnian at the gate, she was very surprised, "Yu Xiangnian?"
Yu Xiangnian walked over and stood side by side with her, "Let's talk while we walk."
The two walked forward, and after Yu Xiangnian finished telling the story, she saw Wen Qiuning's face turned pale.
Yu Xiangnian's heart skipped a beat.
If it was a rumor, Wen Qiuning would definitely look indifferent. Even if she was the one being rumored, she would act as if it had nothing to do with her.
But her expression has changed now!
After a long while, she finally said, "I understand. Thank you."
"What are you going to do?" Yu Xiangnian asked.
Wen Qiuning had no idea what to do now, so she could only say, "Let them talk. Once they get tired of talking, no one will talk anymore."
The holiday is less than a month away, and everyone will go back home by then. By the time the holiday ends in March, everyone will have forgotten about it.
Yu Xiangnian said, "If you need help, just ask and I will do my best."
Wen Qiuning nodded, "Thank you."
The two separated at a bus stop. Yu Xiangnian waited for the bus while Wen Qiuning continued walking to the bookstore.
Looking at Wen Qiuning's slender back, Yu Xiangnian felt very uncomfortable.
After almost two years of living together, even though Yu Xiangnian didn't know Wen Qiuning's family or past, she was sure that Wen Qiuning was not a person with corrupt moral character.
Even if Wen Qiuning exchanged her body for it, she was forced to do so.
Just like in the books Yu Xiangnian had read before, those female educated youth were far away from their hometowns, helpless in the rural areas, and were forced step by step by the unscrupulous village chief to give up their bodies.
Yu Xiangnian seemed to have found the reason why Wen Qiuning was not interested in men.
Any woman who is touched by a man who is old, dirty, smelly, unhygienic, has yellow teeth, is wretched, bald... will have a psychological trauma!
Wen Qiuning came to the bookstore and continued to do her work as if nothing had happened.
It was not until the door was closed that she seemed to have lost all her strength and slid to the ground against the bookshelf.
She is scared!
She was afraid that she would be expelled from school and she was afraid that her mother would know about it.
She thought that by getting into college and leaving that place, she could escape from her nightmarish past.
Why won't those nightmares let her go? !
Things did not turn out as Wen Qiuning had hoped, where everyone got tired of talking and stopped, but instead the situation escalated.
In more than a week, the news spread throughout the school.
No matter where Wen Qiuning appears in the school, he will be pointed at and talked about by everyone.
If it were someone else, they would have hidden in the dormitory and dared not go out, but she still did what she was supposed to do and seemed to not care about anyone's advice.
Even the class teacher Zhao Libo heard about this.
After school that day, Zhao Libo called Wen Qiuning to his office alone.
"Please sit down." Zhao Libo pulled a chair for Wen Qiuning to sit on, and the two sat face to face.
Zhao Libo said, "Student Wen Qiuning, everyone in school is talking about your college entrance exam quota. Did you know?"
Wen Qiuning whispered, "I know."
Zhao Libo said, "I came to you to find out the truth. Are those rumors true?"
Wen Qiuning lowered his head and said nothing, obviously not wanting to answer.
Zhao Libo said, "Mr. Wen, this matter has spread all over the school. You can't escape it even if you want to."
"Now it has reached my ears, and maybe soon it will reach the ears of the school leaders. Then there will still be teachers coming to you to ask these questions."
"I came to you in advance because I wanted to help you. If it's a rumor, we have to stop it. If it's not a rumor, I'll think about how to help you. If I can't help you, you have to be mentally prepared."
Zhao Libo had a good impression of Wen Qiuning. She was diligent and studious, had excellent grades, was kind, and never caused trouble for others.
It would be a pity if she was expelled from school!
If she could help, she would help Wen Qiuning.
Wen Qiuning suddenly looked up and stared at Zhao Libo, with unwillingness and fear in her cold eyes.
Zhao Libo said: "If you find it difficult to answer, then I will ask questions and you can just nod or shake your head, but don't lie to me!"
Wen Qiuning lowered her head again.
Zhao Libo asked: "Did you sell your body to get a place in the university entrance exam?"
Wen Qiuning shook his head.
Zhao Libo felt relieved. She asked again, "So, what the classmates are saying are all rumors?"
Wen Qiuning hesitated for nearly half a minute before shaking his head.
Zhao Libo couldn't understand this.
She didn't sell her body, and what her classmates said was true. Isn't this a contradiction?!
Zhao Libo said seriously, "Mr. Wen, I really want to help you, but you're still hiding something and refusing to tell me the truth. How can I help you?"
Wen Qiuning suddenly stood up and said, "Teacher, I still have to go to the bookstore to work, so I have to leave now. As for this matter, please let me think about it for a few more days!"
Zhao Libo was stunned for a moment, but finally waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, come back to me when you've thought it over."
Wen Qiuning didn't go to the cafeteria for dinner, but went straight to the bookstore.
The final exams will be in a week, and after that everyone will go home for vacation!
But, does she want to go back this holiday?
