The old Qin family residence in the capital city.
Huo Shu looked up at the girl opposite her, slightly bent her index finger, tapped the table, and said in a deep voice, "Mingyue, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so absent-minded while eating? I called you several times and you didn't respond."
Qin Mingyue snapped out of her daze, put down her chopsticks, and a hint of annoyance appeared on her face. She said indifferently, "Mom, I'm fine. I'll go back to my room first."
Huo Shu frowned. "You've only eaten a few bites?"
"Mom, I have no appetite." Qin Mingyue grabbed a tissue and wiped her mouth haphazardly before standing up and leaving the restaurant.
Back in her room, she sat down on the single sofa, her mind filled with the screenshots of evidence Qin Xiao had sent her.
Who exactly found out that it was sent to Qin Xiao? Or did Qin Xiao find out on his own?
Qin Mingyue took out her phone, hesitated for a few seconds, and then clicked on Weibo.
Now even the official authorities have issued a statement to refute the rumors.
Many people who had previously expressed doubts about the authenticity of Shi Miao's grades fell silent.
With her perfect score in the national exam and her identity as Ye Dyu, Shi Miao's current popularity is unprecedented.
Qin Mingyue's almond-shaped eyes flashed with resentment and anger, her lips pressed into a thin line. She never expected that her clever plan would backfire, making Shi Miao an internet sensation.
I tapped my phone screen and then deleted the Weibo account I had just registered yesterday.
She pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and then dialed Xie Sizhou's number.
"What is it?" Xie Sizhou's cool and aloof voice came from the other end of the phone.
Qin Mingyue's heart skipped a beat, as if she sensed something was off about his tone, and she said softly, "Brother Sizhou, do you know what's been happening on Weibo these past two days?"
Xie Sizhou chuckled lightly, his voice slightly cool: "You mean the good deed you did?"
Qin Mingyue's fingertips suddenly tightened, her heart pounded in her throat, and she said in a slightly stiff voice, "Brother Sizhou, I don't understand what you're saying."
"Isn't that the account that posted the smear against Shi Miao yours? You also secretly saw her exam admission ticket number when we were checking our results, right?"
Qin Mingyue frowned, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down by clenching her fists. "Did my brother tell you? I told him I didn't do it. With Photoshop skills so advanced these days, those screenshots are clearly a setup to frame me! I think it's just Shi Miao trying to become famous, a show she orchestrated herself!"
Did your brother tell you how he obtained this evidence?
Qin Mingyue's heart skipped a beat, her temples throbbed, and her voice tightened: "Did you investigate this?"
"Qin Xiao is my brother, so I've always treated you like my own sister. But what you've done has really disappointed me. You'd better watch yourself from now on. My last piece of advice is to behave yourself. You know what Brother Chen is capable of. If he really investigates, even the Qin family won't be able to protect you."
Qin Mingyue's throat tightened, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something more, but for some reason she couldn't make a sound.
Only a mechanical "beep beep" sound came from the phone's earpiece.
Her face was beyond pale; her delicate oval face was completely bloodless, and she looked extremely disheveled.
......
Lanting Apartment, H City.
"Sister-in-law, why are you only coming back now?" Xie Sizhou looked up at the girl who had just opened the living room door and walked in.
Shi Miao walked over to Ji Yanchen and sat down unhurriedly, saying in a rather indifferent tone, "I also went to see Qin Xiao."
Ji Yanchen's eyes flickered slightly. He reached out and hooked her fingertips together, his voice slightly hoarse and low: "Is it because of Qin Mingyue?"
Shi Miao lazily nestled on the sofa, raised an eyebrow, and responded softly, "Mmm."
Xie Sizhou coughed lightly, touched the bridge of his nose, and said awkwardly, "Qin Xiao didn't come to you to plead for Qin Mingyue, did he?"
"No." Shi Miao's voice was slightly low and hoarse, with a hint of nonchalance.
Xie Sizhou breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; he had thought Qin Xiao was being foolish and about to do something stupid.
......
Nighttime, Peach Blossom Village, Class 8's graduation dinner.
Shi Miao was treating everyone, and she had booked two extra-large private rooms in advance.
Almost everyone in the class came, including Old Ma and Principal Yuan Heng.
The private room was full of people, all discussing their college entrance exam scores and the majors they wanted to study in the future.
A moment later, with a creak, the door to the private room was pushed open.
The previously noisy private room instantly fell silent.
Hu Tiantian looked up at the three people who walked in from the door. When she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Shi Miao and Ji Yanchen holding hands, she was stunned for a moment.
After realizing what had happened, she excitedly covered her mouth, her eyes suddenly gleaming with excitement.
Who would have thought that the ship I shipped was actually real!
Sister Miao and Teacher Ji have been hiding their true identities for so long that I didn't even notice!
Everyone in the private room noticed the two holding hands, their eyes filled with surprise, but no one dared to say anything.
Lu Hansheng had known about their relationship for a long time, and at this moment he was the only one who remained calm.
When Yuan Heng saw Ji Yanchen walk in, he immediately stood up nervously and gave up the seat of honor, saying, "Teacher Ji, please sit here."
He knew a little about Ji Yanchen's identity; he was just an ordinary high school principal, so it was inevitable that he felt a little awkward and nervous.
Ji Yanchen pulled out a chair and sat down next to Shi Miao, saying gently, "You sit down, I'll sit here."
Seeing this, Yuan Heng had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay."
......
"What's wrong? What's with that expression?" Shi Miao raised an eyebrow and reached out to pinch Hu Tiantian's chubby cheeks beside her.
Hu Tiantian blushed slightly, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Sister Miao, when did you and Teacher Ji start dating?"
Shi Miao was momentarily stumped by the question, because she herself couldn't remember when it happened, which made her quite embarrassed.
She coughed lightly, touched the bridge of her nose, and said softly, "It's been quite a while."
Hu Tiantian thought she was just shy, so she covered her mouth and smiled.
Shi Miao leaned back slightly, lazily resting on the back of the chair. Her pale hand supported her chin as she began to reflect on herself, wondering if she was being a bad girlfriend.
"What are you thinking about?" A deep, magnetic voice came from beside my ear.
Shi Miao snapped out of her reverie, raised an eyebrow, and said with a serious expression, "I'm thinking about treating you better in the future."
Ji Yanchen couldn't help but let out a soft laugh, his face captivating and his eyes sparkling.
He reached out and took her hand, gently kneading her fingertips, his tone noble and languid: "Okay, Miao Shen."
Shi Miao scratched his palm, a faint smile playing in her dark eyes.
