Lin Shaoqi watched Ji Xiaoxiao's departing figure with unease, a sense of annoyance welling up within him.
"He Nianzhi seems different," the chubby girl said.
Previously, because Lin Shaoqi and Feng Huan were childhood sweethearts, He Nianzhi had often flattered Lin Shaoqi. Having survived a brush with death, He Nianzhi now treats Lin Shaoqi as if she doesn't exist.
"Could a person's personality really change drastically after dying once? Could He Nianzhi be possessed by a strange ghost?" the chubby girl murmured to herself.
The volume of sound is inseparable from the distance. Yin Lu, who was standing next to the chubby girl, changed her expression drastically upon hearing this and said loudly, "Mu Mu, don't talk nonsense. Ghosts and monsters are pure nonsense. We should believe in science and oppose superstition."
Girls are often terrified of ghosts and monsters.
"I was just guessing," Mu Mu explained.
"What nonsense! In ancient times, this would be considered spreading heresy and would be punishable by burning at the stake."
Mu Mu didn't think she had done anything wrong, but Yin Lu believed that Mu Mu was spreading rumors and inciting people, not only knowingly committing the crime but also remaining unrepentant.
The two argued fiercely, neither willing to back down, their shouting so loud it could blow the roof off at any moment.
"Alright, stop arguing. What's there to fight about between sisters?"
Lin Shaoqi is the eldest sister in the dormitory, and Yin Lu and Mu Mu still have to give her face.
Seeing the two of them being so respectful and cooperative, Lin Shaoqi nodded in satisfaction. "You know what kind of person He Nianzhi is. She always repays kindness with kindness and vengeance with vengeance. She left so decisively just now, she must have some dirty tricks up her sleeve. The three of us ransacked her drawer together, we ate the snacks, we used the skincare products. We're all in this together now. If you fight amongst yourselves, are you just asking to die?"
Lin Shaoqi's words were reasonable, well-founded, and clearly articulated. With their own interests at stake, Mu Mu and Yin Lu put aside their past grievances, joined forces, and decided to create new glories.
The two apologized to each other, and then they saw their homeroom teacher, Ms. Li, and Ji Xiaoxiao walking hand in hand.
"Teacher, Lin Shaoqi went through my things without my permission, and ate and used my things." Ji Xiaoxiao opened the cabinet door, pointed to the messy clothes, and said, "Teacher, look, not only have my things been rummaged through, but all my snacks and skincare products are gone."
Ms. Li, the homeroom teacher, had inspected the girls' dormitory several times and knew the original owner's situation very well. She was not the kind of sloppy or careless girl.
"What's going on?" Teacher Li glanced at Lin Shaoqi and the other two.
Mu Mu was overweight and timid, which caught Teacher Li's attention.
Teacher Li said to Mu Mu, "Mu Mu, tell me what you think."
Mu Mu swallowed hard, then lowered her head and remained silent.
Teacher Li frowned, clearly extremely dissatisfied with their reaction.
Ji Xiaoxiao, standing to the side, added fuel to the fire, "Teacher Li, Lin Shaoqi said she did it."
"Mu Mu, didn't you hear that too?" Ji Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Mu.
"I……."
Mu Mu secretly glanced at Lin Shaoqi, who glared at her angrily, silently threatening her that if she dared to betray her, she wouldn't hesitate to be ruthless.
"Mu Mu, is what He Nianzhi said true?" Teacher Li stepped forward, took Mu Mu's hand, and said kindly, "Don't be afraid, I will stand up for you."
Mu Mu was tormented, torn between her sisters and her teacher. She couldn't get along with either side, making her feel like a pig looking in a mirror, caught in a dilemma.
Ji Xiaoxiao curled her lips slightly, her attack directed at Yin Lu, "Yin Lu, you were there too, why don't you tell Teacher Li what happened? After all, you're braver than Mu Mu." The implication was that Yin Lu was exceptionally courageous and wouldn't bow to evil forces. The deeper meaning was that Lin Shaoqi was the bully of their dormitory.
Teacher Li, a language arts teacher specializing in complex vocabulary and sentence structures, had been teaching for many years and was a seasoned veteran. Ji Xiaoxiao's meager skills were simply no match for her. Teacher Li meticulously analyzed the situation, uncovering the truth behind Ji Xiaoxiao's "thoughts and feelings."
"Lin Shaoqi, He Nianzhi, you go out first. The teacher wants to talk to Mu Mu and the others alone."
Teacher Li unceremoniously chased Ji Xiaoxiao and Lin Shaoqi outside. Standing at the doorway, Lin Shaoqi glared fiercely at Ji Xiaoxiao. One could imagine that in a secluded, deserted place, Ji Xiaoxiao would already be devoured alive by Lin Shaoqi, leaving not a single bone behind.
Ji Xiaoxiao leaned against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest, ignoring Lin Shaoqi.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Ji Xiaoxiao's face, highlighting her fine downy hair, fair complexion, and delicate features. All of this fueled Lin Shaoqi's rage.
"Why? Why? She's just a stupid, lowly woman. Why does she have such a good family background? Why does she have such a beautiful face? Why? Why?"
The young people's competitive nature and the women's appearances were evident. Lin Shaoqi was far inferior to Ji Xiaoxiao, and feeling ashamed of herself, she almost gritted her teeth in frustration.
"Don't be so smug, you're doomed to lose," Lin Shaoqi said confidently.
The timid starve, the bold thrive; they dared to secretly take Ji Xiaoxiao's things, so naturally they weren't afraid of being discovered. They weren't mindless fools either; from the moment they took the freebies, they had already prepared their stories, ensuring the blame wouldn't fall on them.
"He Nianzhi, He Nianzhi, you chose the path to heaven but refused to take it, and you chose to walk into the gates of hell. This time you brought this trouble upon yourself, so don't blame me, and don't blame me either."
The crime of falsely accusing a classmate was something that the upright and incorruptible teacher Li would never forget for the rest of his life.
Lin Shaoqi glanced pitifully at Ji Xiaoxiao, then leaned against the wall without saying a word.
