In the school clinic, Su Wenxue, lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes and looked around in a daze.
"You're awake." The school doctor walked over, adjusted his glasses, and said calmly, "There's nothing wrong with your health. Just go back and get plenty of rest. Try to relax and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Thank you, doctor." Upon hearing this, Su Wenxue looked up at the school doctor by the bedside, nodded absentmindedly, and then got up and got out of bed.
When she returned to her dorm room, she saw that Jiang Ning was the only one there, and she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Hearing the door open, Jiang Ning assumed it was Shi Miao returning. She turned around, saw who it was, frowned in disgust, and turned back.
Su Wenxue's expression stiffened slightly. She pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids, walked to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Just then, the cell phone on the table rang with a "ding".
Her heart skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding washing over her. After hesitating for a few seconds, she reached for her phone and tapped on QQ.
It was a message from my counselor: "Come over here for a bit."
Su Wenxue swayed slightly, her fingers holding the phone trembled, and her face was as pale as paper.
She didn't know why her counselor had suddenly contacted her, but she had a feeling it was related to what had happened that day.
It took me a while to come to my senses. My fingertips trembled as I typed "OK" and sent it. Then I stood up, took my phone, and left the dormitory.
...
In the counselor's office.
"You're here." The counselor looked up at the girl who had just entered.
Su Wenxue gently closed the door, walked to the desk and stopped. "Teacher, what can I do for you?"
The counselor didn't waste any words. He picked up a notice from the table and handed it to her, saying succinctly, "This is the school's disciplinary notice for you. You've received a major demerit, and it will be posted on the department's bulletin board shortly."
Upon hearing this, Su Wenxue was struck dumb. Her eyes widened involuntarily, filled with astonishment. She clenched her fingertips tightly, her lips turning pale, and asked unwillingly, "Teacher, what is it?"
The counselor, unsure whether she was genuinely unaware or feigning ignorance, patiently explained, "Xia Zhixu has provided evidence that you filmed the video that spread rumors about Shi Miao. You two are accomplices. She has been expelled, and your school has given you a major demerit."
Su Wenxue felt as if she had been struck on the head, and she took a few steps back, as if she would fall to the ground at any moment.
The severity of receiving a major demerit is self-evident, especially for Tsinghua University, the top university in China.
Not only will it be recorded in your file, but you will also lose your chance to be awarded a scholarship, your eligibility for postgraduate recommendation, and you will even be unable to apply for Party membership.
I worked so hard to get into Tsinghua University, hoping to change my fate, but now it's all over.
Su Wenxue couldn't understand why Xia Zhixu was treating her this way. It was one thing to expose her in the dormitory, but why did she have to report it to the school? She was clearly just following Xia Zhixu's orders.
The counselor frowned upon seeing this. "You look terrible. Are you sick? Should we go to the infirmary?"
Su Wenxue shook her head, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably, her voice hoarse: "Teacher, is there no room for compromise? I really didn't mean to, Xia Zhixu instructed me to do it..."
A hint of disappointment flashed across the counselor's eyes, and she sighed, "You're an adult, you have the ability to judge right from wrong. You could have chosen to refuse. Did she hold a knife to your throat and force you to do it?"
Tears streamed down Su Wenxue's face as her white fingertips dug fiercely into her palms. "Teacher, I really know I was wrong. Can you give me another chance? I promise I'll never do it again!"
The counselor rubbed his temples, looking a bit of a headache. "Go back. This is the school's decision, not mine."
Su Wenxue's throat tightened, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something more, but for some reason she couldn't make a sound.
It took her a long while to speak, her voice choked with emotion: "Teacher, can I change dorm rooms?"
"Okay." The counselor nodded, naturally understanding that she couldn't stay in her original dormitory in her current situation.
...
When Shi Miao returned to the dormitory, she found that Su Wenxue's bed had also been emptied.
She wasn't too upset, quickly looked away, and handed the bag of milk tea she was carrying to Jiang Ning.
"I love you, Sister Miao." Jiang Ning's eyes lit up, and she happily accepted it.
Shi Miao hummed in agreement, pinched her cheek, and then walked to her chair and sat down.
Jiang Ning took out a straw, inserted it into her milk tea cup, took a sip, and glanced at the bed opposite her. "I guess Su Wenxue felt guilty and didn't dare to face you, so she moved out in a hurry."
Shi Miao crossed her legs casually, her delicate eyebrows lowered, and tapped her phone screen with her fingers. "Maybe."
Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID, pressed the answer button, and said, "Hello."
"I just finished recording the show and saw what happened on Weibo," Han Yan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Shi Miao leaned back slightly against the chair. "Yeah, it's okay, it's resolved."
"I see there are still a lot of trolls online who doubt your identity. How about I make an appearance in my new song's music video?"
Shi Miao lazily stretched out her legs, shifted to a more comfortable sitting position, her beautiful eyes half-closed, and said in a rather nonchalant tone: "It doesn't matter, I don't make a living from this identity."
Han Yan chuckled softly, "That's true. Then, for the sake of our friendship, how about you be my leading lady again?"
"I may not have the time."
"No time even on weekends? You're a college student now, not a high school student."
Shi Miao raised an eyebrow and clicked her tongue. "Alright, let me know when the time comes."
...
The next day.
After finishing breakfast, Shi Miao and Jiang Ning prepared to head to their classroom.
The two had just stepped out of the cafeteria when they bumped into Jiang Ye, who was rushing over. "Good morning, Shi Xue-mei."
Shi Miao didn't immediately recognize him, but still greeted him politely, "Good morning, senior."
"Okay, I'm in a hurry, so I'll go in first." Jiang Ye took out his phone, glanced at the time, and strode inside.
With a thud, something suddenly fell out of his pocket.
Because he was wearing noise-canceling headphones and listening to music, Jiang Ye didn't notice that he had already entered the No. 1 cafeteria, which was closest to the entrance.
Shi Miao heard the sound of something falling to the ground, turned around and saw a USB flash drive lying on the ground two steps away.
Seeing this, she stepped forward, bent down, and picked it up.
Jiang Ning glanced at the USB drive in her hand and asked curiously, "Sister Miao, who was that just now? Was he your friend?"
Shi Miao only now remembered who Jiang Ye was, "A senior who helped me when school started."
Jiang Ning stroked her chin and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, Sister Miao, where do you find so many incredibly handsome men?"
She paused for a moment and then said, "Could it be that you have the legendary ability to attract handsome men?!"
Shi Miao's lips twitched slightly. He reached out and gently flicked her forehead before walking towards Cafeteria No. 1.
Just as I reached the door, I saw Jiang Ye walk out from inside with a steamed bun in his mouth.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he took the steamed bun. "Junior, why are you still here? Haven't you eaten enough?"
