Chapter 7 The Devoted Female Supporting Character and the Righteous Man
Chapter 7
Qin Yan had no idea that the video and photos of her pouring water had spread throughout most of the school.
However, the video did not record the entire process; it only showed her pouring water on Fang Min's head, but not Zhang Min splashing water on her.
It's estimated that no one expected Zhang Min to make such a move at that time.
Without knowing the full story, the matter took on a different flavor as it was passed around.
A new post on the campus forum remains highly popular.

【OMG! Look what I photographed!】
Students who had to get up early and were still not fully awake but were stubbornly browsing forums were suddenly jolted awake as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
The post was fresh and hot this morning, and the content looked quite exciting. The bed was nice and I was typing away like crazy to reply.
[Your photo is a bit too blurry! It's hard to see anything from this far away!]
Who are these people? What are they doing? Arguing? Or fighting?
Given that the original poster's photo was too blurry and taken from too far away, making it difficult to see the content clearly, everyone flooded the screen with question marks.
The original poster could only reply helplessly: "It all happened so fast! I'm already pretty good that I was able to take out my phone and capture the key moments in such a short time."
After being posted dozens of times, someone else uploaded photos.

The photos uploaded this time are not only closer, but the people are also clearer.
What are they doing? Pouring water on someone's head?
[This woman is acting like a shrew, she's really going all out.]
[Why is there only a back view of the person pouring water? The person being poured water looks familiar, but I can't quite place who it is.]
After going through several dozen more floors, someone else posted new photos.
The person pouring the water has a clearly visible face.
[...Isn't that Qin Yan?]
[Ah, I remember now! The woman who had water poured on her is Zhang Min, Xie Lin's latest girlfriend.]
[Xie Lin's girlfriend? No wonder, Qin Yan is just jealous!]
[How shameless! She's so jealous she'd throw water on someone else's plate. No wonder Xie Lin looks down on her; she's despicable!]
[Lin Ge is indeed Lin Ge; girls are jealous of him every day.]
[Isn't Qin Yan constantly clinging to Xie Lin? How disgusting! Doesn't she have any self-awareness?]
After scrolling through countless pages of popular posts, a comment that didn't attract much attention finally appeared.
Didn't Zhang Min break up with Xie Lin a long time ago?
In the short time of morning self-study, the news quickly spread throughout the entire school.
The students in the class read aloud much softer, their voices drawn out and scattered. They whispered among themselves, and gradually no one read anymore. The class representative called out to them several times, but no one paid any attention, so he had no choice but to go to the teacher for help.
More and more eyes fell on Qin Yan, some with surprise, some with disgust.
Qin Yan ignored the stares and looked down at her phone.
Within minutes, she had received dozens of text messages containing personal attacks.
She scrolled through a few posts and found them meaningless; the insults didn't bother her.
She put her phone in her pocket, propped her cheek up, and listlessly flipped through a book.
Fang Ling vaguely heard people around her discussing Qin Yan; she had overheard some of what happened in the cafeteria that morning.
Seeing that Qin Yan was completely unaffected, she leaned closer and whispered, "You really... did you...?"
Qin Yan hummed in agreement, offering no further explanation.
Fang Ling frowned: "But you said before that you had already let go of Xie Lin."
Qin Yan casually twirled her pen: "I've let go, but others can't."
Fang Ling looked at Qin Yan, even more confused.
Now that you've let it go, why keep pouring water on other people's heads?
As a 5G surfing enthusiast and active forum user, Qi Yu read through every single post that went viral.
Then I got furious.
As soon as morning self-study ended, Qi Yu, her cheeks flushed with anger, angrily confronted Qin Yan, complaining: "Someone on the forum is spreading rumors that you poured water on Zhang Min's head!"
Qin Yan paused for a moment: "It is indeed a rumor. I clearly poured soy milk."
Qi Yu: "..."
She scratched her head in slight frustration: "Ugh—Yanyan, you know that's not what I meant! I meant someone filmed you pouring water on Zhang Min's head, and the comments are all criticizing you!"
She became increasingly angry as she spoke: "Not a single person uploaded the photo of Zhang Min splashing water on you!"
Qin Yan thought for a moment: "Her expression must have been quite ferocious. Did the person who posted the photos get the consent of the person involved? Zhang Min probably wouldn't want to see her embarrassing and ugly photos posted online, right?"
Qi Yu: "..."
She was initially very angry, even indignant and wanting to become an online troll to attack back.
But after hearing Qin Yan's words, she suddenly wilted.
What kind of bizarre thought process is this? Shouldn't one be angry when they hear themselves being scolded?
Why did she even think about how badly Zhang Min looked in the photos? It made her want to zoom in on the photos to see how unattractive Zhang Min looked.
"...I was originally planning to retaliate, but after you said that, I lost all my impulsiveness."
Qin Yan patted her head: "Don't easily post comments online. There will always be some perverts who will find you through the internet."
Qi Yu still couldn't swallow her anger: "Are we just going to let them frame us? They don't know the whole story at all!"
She was already very angry, and every time she looked at the comments criticizing Qin Yan, her blood pressure would rise significantly, but she still couldn't help but keep scrolling through the forum.
Then I saw someone post a short video.
It's very blurry, and there's still no footage of Zhang Min splashing water; only Qi Yu's dashing and elegant act of pouring soy milk is captured.
Elegant, dignified, and with smooth movements.
Not a single action is superfluous.
After watching this smooth and skillful performance, Qi Yu, who was furious with the comments, felt a little better.
But it only got a little better.
After scrolling down to the unbearable negative comments, Qi Yu couldn't help but complain: "Isn't there a single righteous person who will release the video of her throwing water at you?"
Qin Yan was not in a hurry at all, and said slowly, "There are surveillance cameras in the cafeteria."
Qi Yu didn't react for a moment: "...Huh?"
"Let them say what they want. Once things have escalated enough and even the teachers are paying attention, they will naturally look for the cafeteria's surveillance footage."
Qi Yu muttered, "Do we really have to wait that long? Let's go find the security footage now!"
She angrily left the thread, only to see a new thread floating on the homepage.
The title is concise and to the point: The whole picture of the cafeteria incident.
Qi Yu clicked on it out of curiosity.
Original Poster:

【video】
The original poster didn't say anything, but directly posted several screenshots and a long video.
The picture wasn't taken by someone present at the scene; it was directly taken from the surveillance video.
There was no need for the matter to escalate to the point of attracting the attention of school leaders before the righteous person Qi Yu had mentioned appeared.
In the screenshot, Zhang Min is seen splashing water on Qin Yan while holding a cup.
The long video was extracted from surveillance footage, showing the scene from when Zhang Min walked up to Qin Yan to Qin Yan's final counterattack.
The video has not undergone any other processing or malicious editing; it restores the original appearance of the event.
Surfing experts clicked in one after another.
【……Um? 】
What does this mean? Is there a possible twist in this story?
The surfers only started watching the video after leaving their footprints and buttock prints.
[Damn, I cursed too soon.]
Qin Yan, I'm sorry, it wasn't you who kept bothering me, it was Zhang Min.
I just checked, Zhang Min was indeed dumped by Xie Lin a few days ago.
[No, I don't understand. Qin Yan didn't even get the position, so why is Zhang Min looking for her?]
[Isn't Qin Yan Qin Ye's fiancée now? I haven't seen her clinging to Xie Lin lately.]
Some people who dislike Qin Yan were making sarcastic remarks in the comments.
[There's no sound in the video, so who knows what they said? Maybe Qin Yan said something nasty that angered Zhang Min.]
[I thought Qin Yan really liked Xie Lin, but now that she's engaged to the Qin family, she's rushing to curry favor with Qin Ye.]
I saw it before; she even gave a cake to Qin Ye.
[Sending a cake? Another old-fashioned trick. She'd tried to get one from Xie Lin so many times before, and he'd always refused.]
Qi Yu completely ignored the sour comments and excitedly grabbed Qin Yan's arm: "Yan Yan! Someone actually went to the surveillance cameras and released the video!"
Qin Yan raised an eyebrow: "Let me see."
Qi Yu handed the phone over directly.
The original poster has not appeared since posting the pictures and videos.
Qin Yan swiped a few times and handed the phone back to Qi Yu.
Qi Yu took it, still looking excited: "Which righteous person found the surveillance footage so quickly and posted it online? That's incredibly efficient!"
Without hesitation, Qin Yan replied, "Qin Ye."
"……ah?"
Qi Yu's mind raced through thoughts like, "Qin Ye actually pays attention to this kind of gossip," "This aloof and ethereal young nobleman would personally step in to settle such a trivial matter," and "This righteous man is actually an unattainable beauty."
"Wait, Yan Yan, how do you know it was Qin Ye who did it?"
The school bell rang.
Qin Yan walked towards the classroom: "Class is starting, let's go."
Qi Yu, getting anxious after not receiving a reply, asked, "Yan Yan, why are you so sure it's Qin Ye?"
Qin Yan did not answer.
A sentence lay quietly in the chat box between Qin Ye and my phone: "Fiancée, you have a beautiful way of pouring soy milk."

Wang Yue looked at Qin Ye with a complicated expression: "I remember someone saying that they don't like violence to stop violence."
Qin Ye hummed in agreement, not denying it: "Unless I can't help it."
Wang Yue still looked unconvinced: "Wasn't that a bit too harsh?"
A cold glint flashed in Qin Ye's eyes: "People must bear the consequences of their actions."
Li Jun also felt a little sorry for him: "Brother Ye, you've never laid a hand on a girl before."
Qin Ye laughed: "I really didn't do anything."
Wang Yue frowned: "Aren't you being a little too attentive to your fiancée?"
Qin Ye raised his eyes and asked in return, "Shouldn't I care about my fiancée?"

Zhang Min was a little annoyed; she had seen the post on the forum.
Both the initial post that sided with her and the later post that included surveillance footage both upset her.
She wanted both posts to disappear.
It was class time, but she skipped class and hid in a toilet stall, a cigarette between her fingers, exhaling white smoke with a hint of annoyance.
After smoking two cigarettes, she threw the butts into the toilet and flushed them down.
However, she froze when she opened the door; three girls had entered the restroom without her noticing.
She knew that the students at school who were bad at studying and loved to fight had formed several gangs.
These three women happened to be some of the troublemakers at the top of the society.
The girl in the lead had dyed blonde hair and was about 1.75 meters tall. She looked down at Zhang Min, who was only 1.6 meters tall, and asked, "You're Zhang Min?"
Zhang Min had a bad feeling, but the three girls blocked her way, so she figured she couldn't escape.
She looked at them warily: "What do you want?"
The girl in the lead smiled and reached out to pinch Zhang Min's chin: "I don't want anything, I just think you're pretty and want to make friends."
Zhang Min was both shocked and terrified: "I didn't do anything to you. If you lay a hand on me, my parents won't let you off easily!"
Not only did the girl who was pinching her chin laugh, but the other two also laughed: "In this school, whose family is easy to mess with?"
The hand gripping his chin tightened its hold.
"We were just fooling around with each other as students."
