Stirring up new waves
After that incident, Yang Xiaoxiao took leave due to her leg injury and did not return to school for several days. When she came back later, the rumors about her and Chen Xiyu were slowly fading.
And those who heard these words were stirred up again with the arrival of another protagonist.
That day, Jiang Hui came to Chen Xiyu with a chocolate and put it on Chen Xiyu's desk for her to see.
"Is this the chocolate you bought?" Chen Xiyu picked up the chocolate whose packaging was all written in foreign languages and took a look at it.
"Hey, don't tear it open yet." Jiang Hui tried to stop it.
"Xiyu, guess who gave you this chocolate."
"Didn't you buy it?" Chen Xiyu asked in confusion, and took a look at the front and back packaging of the chocolate. It was obviously a big brand.
"Of course not. This is the information I got from the local authorities."
Jiang Hui raised her hand.
Seeing that Chen Xiyu was still a little confused, Jiang Hui explained.
"Oh, that's what we got from those three gossipy girls in the restroom a few days ago."
"Ah? Huihui, why are you still in contact with them?"
"I traded my precious Star Courage card for this. If I hadn't discovered by chance that they and I were on the same side and that I had a lot of precious cards that they didn't have, they wouldn't have given me this chocolate."
"Then why do you want this chocolate?"
"Oh, here comes the point. The point is not the chocolate, but the person who gave it to you."
Jiang Hui said softly, "I heard that after Yang Xiaoxiao came back, she gave many girls in her class boxes of imported chocolates, saying they were brought from Hong Kong. And they told me that she gave them to people who were on her side, and thanked them for helping her get justice."
"I hate Green Tea the most. Isn't she just looking for trouble from the victim's perspective, trying to arouse everyone's protectiveness?"
Jiang Hui also heard from Chen Xiyu that she and Yang Xiaoxiao just bumped into each other, and she did not fall because she stuck to Yang Xiaoxiao.
But since everyone was saying that, Chen Xiyu became less determined.
After Jiang Hui left, she wondered if she had really done something wrong.
During the break, Tan Zhao was called out by someone who said he was looking for him, and he was out for a long time.
He came back just before the bell rang, holding a box of chocolates.
It is high-end and exquisite, with the shell wrapped with a red ribbon and tied into a beautiful bow.
It was hard for Chen Xiyu not to associate the small chocolates on the table in front of him with the box of chocolates he brought back.
"Did someone give it to you?" Chen Xiyu asked him.
"Um……"
At this time, the Chinese teacher came in and asked the class representative Chen Xiyu to go to the office to get the materials to be distributed.
Tan Zhao's words were interrupted, and Chen Xiyu stood up and left immediately, without giving him any chance to finish his words.
It’s easy to guess who called Tan Zhao just now. All Chen Xiyu could think about was “she gave gifts to everyone who was in her favor.”
Could it be that Tan Zhao also thought she had done something wrong? She thought Tan Zhao had never known about this matter. In the office, Chen Xiyu was counting the test papers with knowledge points printed on them according to the number of students in the class.
This Chinese class was focused on improving writing skills. Teacher Feng Chunxiang was showing off a PowerPoint presentation of the city's best essays from the previous exam. "One of them was written by our class monitor, Chen Xiyu. The essay uses snow as a key theme throughout. It's well worth reading. However, if you don't have the class monitor's writing skills, don't try it lightly; you could easily end up making a mess of it."
Chen Xiyu had already applied to the school for permission to access the school's surveillance footage, but the process for doing so at F High School was incredibly cumbersome, requiring numerous applications and signatures from various levels. After class, Tan Zhao seemed hesitant to speak to Chen Xiyu, and Chen Xiyu glanced at him, "Do you have anything to say, deskmate?"
Tan Zhao said, "Chen Xiyu, I only know that you fell. Because I went back to Tongcheng a few days ago, I don't know what happened to you afterwards. Just now, a girl came to see me."
Before Tan Zhao finished speaking, the head teacher came to the classroom door with a serious expression and called Chen Xiyu over.
Chen Xiyu was already worried. She had mixed feelings about this matter, and she didn't know what Tan Zhao would think. She lowered her eyes and stood up, avoiding Tan Zhao's gaze.
Outside the classroom, the head teacher said that the surveillance had been approved, but the teacher from the Academic Affairs Office said that the surveillance had broken down a few days ago, and the records from the two days before November 12 were lost.
Chen Xiyu was stunned, frowned, and it took him several seconds to react.
"broken?"
"Teacher, why do I want to watch the 11.11 broadcast, but the surveillance camera is broken on that day?"
The head teacher didn't understand the whole story. He remembered that the reason Chen Xiyu wrote was that she lost something, so he patted her shoulder comfortingly and said, "Class monitor, what did you lose? Is it expensive? I'll see if I can apply for compensation from the school."
Chen Xiyu lowered his head and said nothing. In a corner where no one was paying attention, he dug his index finger deeply with his right hand until it turned white.
Suddenly, she looked up at the teacher and said, "Teacher, since my approval has been approved, can I go to the monitoring room to check the surveillance? It suddenly occurred to me that the loss might not have happened on November 11th, but on November 13th."
The head teacher thought about it and nodded, "It should be possible." He handed her the approval form with various stamps on it.
"When the time comes, show this approval form to the teacher in the monitoring room and they'll let you in."
"Thank you, teacher."
"Just go to class."
As Chen Xiyu said goodbye to her teacher, she caught sight of Yang Xiaoxiao, who had been watching her from the end of the stairs. She had changed her hairstyle, her ponytail now undone and now sporting long, straight black hair. She also appeared to have earrings pierced. With her large eyes, fair face, lipstick on, and a slender figure, she was truly a striking beauty.
Following Yang Xiaoxiao's gaze, she was also observing Chen Xiyu, or even for a long time. The person walking towards her was tall and slender, with a high ponytail that was neatly styled and sunny and confident. Chen Xiyu's bangs were blown away by the wind, and she couldn't help but frown against the wind. In Yang Xiaoxiao's sight, Chen Xiyu had fair skin, three-dimensional features, and her school uniform was not fully zipped up, revealing a thin neck, and she had an excellent temperament. Yang Xiaoxiao turned her head away first. Even though she had never questioned her appearance since she was a child, she had to admit at this moment that Chen Xiyu was in no way inferior to her, and even slightly better.
Chen Xiyu walked up to her, stopped, put one hand in his pocket, and spoke first.
"Yang Xiaoxiao, huh? I heard you didn't go for the retest."
Yang Xiaoxiao met her gaze and said, "Yes, thanks to you. How can I take the exam with an injured knee?"
"I just happened to give her a spot. Oh, and it's your good friend Xiao Xue."
Chen Xiyu was stunned when she heard the name "Xiao Xue." They were indeed classmates in junior high school, but after entering high school, they were no longer in the same class and had little contact. But she quickly recovered and grasped the key point.
"What do you mean by 'let'? Yang Xiaoxiao, you're very confident, so confident that you think as long as you go, that spot will definitely be yours, even if you're very good. Xiao Xue was my deskmate in junior high school, and I know she's also very good."
"I know the truth about the water fetching that day, and so do you. I don't know why the next day it was rumored that I pushed you. I was injured, too. I wanted to ask how you were doing, but the whole grade was saying that Chen Xiyu was bullying. It was your classmates, who I didn't even know, who were so good at spreading rumors. If it weren't for my determination and the loopholes in your actions, I would even doubt whether I had done anything wrong."
Chen Xiyu couldn't help but take a step closer to her. Yang Xiaoxiao took a step back lacking confidence. Chen Xiyu lowered his eyes to look at her knees, smiled faintly, and everything became clear to him.
If she really had a knee injury, she would not have taken those two steps back so easily as a normal person.
unless.
Chen Xiyu was also surprised by her own guess.
"Yang Xiaoxiao, I also broke my knee a few days ago. I want to remind you that if your knee is injured, you will be unable to help but bend it when you step back."
Yang Xiaoxiao sneered, "Chen Xiyu, I've been learning to dance since I was a child, and I've won countless awards in various competitions. Do you think I can't compare to that country girl?"
"As for how many people support me and believe me, that's their own judgment and choice. You can also see how many people in your class have accepted my chocolates. Many classmates even come to my house to visit me. I feel embarrassed to ask for leave to visit me."
Yang Xiaoxiao is gone. It must be said that she has a very strong mental state.
On the way back to the classroom, Chen Xiyu digested this. Their conversation was more like two tests. Both were to test whether some things were true and whether she knew some things.
At the same time, in Class 6 and Class 3, the two protagonists who had just talked had complicated thoughts.
Chen Xiyu couldn't help but think of Yang Xiaoxiao's mention of someone taking a leave to visit her. She connected the two, chocolate and leave, and glanced at Tan Zhao, who had just returned from explaining a problem to another student. Normally, Chen Xiyu would have stood up and offered her seat. But she was furious. Why should I offer you my seat every day and sit at your table? And now Tan Zhao is in cahoots with Yang Xiaoxiao and even went to visit her?
Damn it! The more Chen Xiyu thought about it, the angrier he got. He slammed the table and stood up.
Tan Zhao had just finished explaining the last physics problem to Li Shao. Li Shao was a bit skeptical, so skeptical that Tan Zhao had almost lost him after explaining so much. Tan Zhao's mind was still preoccupied with the physics concepts and formulas. He didn't immediately notice Chen Xiyu was angry. He walked past his deskmate with a blank expression.
Chen Xiyu couldn't help herself and slapped him fiercely. "Damn it, you treacherous little bastard."
Tan Zhao suddenly felt a burning pain on his back, and the students in the back row were all attracted by the "pop" sound.
Jiang Hui, who was secretly curling her eyelashes, got startled and accidentally pinched her flesh. She exclaimed in pain, "Ouch!" and quickly took the clip off.
"Who offended you, ancestor?"
"Chen Xiyu, what are you doing!" Tan Zhao covered his back and saw his deskmate who looked like he was angry.
Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on their last row, Chen Xiyu's ears began to turn red. Oh my god, she didn't want to establish such a super-hero personality.
