The three boys saw that she was completely clueless and immediately realized that the rumors might be false. If this transfer student had really been to the police station, she would have been so scared that she would have been hiding after hearing what they said, so how could she possibly catch up and ask them?
The boy in the middle smiled sheepishly and said, "We just heard it from others, I guess not."
Xia Mian tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "I also think it's unlikely. How could our affiliated high school possibly accept a student with moral issues? It's impossible for the students to know about this and the school to not know about it."
"That makes sense." Someone nearby who knew the three boys joined in, "If someone gets expelled for something like this, it'll be recorded in their student files. How could our school possibly accept them?"
Xia Mian immediately nodded in praise, "Wow, classmate, you're so smart! You hit the nail on the head right away!"
The classmate suddenly became proud and began to analyze the absurdity of the matter in a torrent of words.
"Yes, yes, yes." Xia Mian nodded continuously. "We sat together during the exam. We were all very nice. Besides, we all came from other places and didn't know anyone at school. How could something like this suddenly come out? Could it be that they don't welcome us transfer students and don't want us to study here?"
The classmates were already curious about Xia Mian, and now when they saw her stop to talk to classmates from the same school, many of them took the opportunity to gather around her out of curiosity or novelty through people they knew.
Hearing Xia Mian say this, everyone immediately denied it.
"Of course not. Our affiliated high school still welcomes new students."
"Yes, we have no right to prevent others from studying."
"Then why would such a rumor spread out of the blue?" Xia Mian acted very puzzled. "Could it be that one of us has offended someone at school?"
"But apart from Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen, whom I met at the cram school, the other transfer students just arrived here and don't know anyone."
"Why are you spreading rumors like this?" At this point, she suddenly seemed to remember something and hammered her palm, asking, "After all this talk, who is that transfer student who's been in jail?"
Looking at her big eyes full of curiosity, everyone fell silent, and at the same time sincerely felt that the news that she had been in jail must be a rumor.
"Li Ming, Hu Ye, Ma Jianhua." A sweet voice came from the side, with a smile, "Why are there so many people? What are you talking about?"
The three boys Xia Mian had approached at the beginning immediately turned around when they heard this.
"Tian Xueya."
Xia Mian also stuck her head out and greeted enthusiastically, "Classmate Tian Xueya, what a coincidence, we meet again!"
Tian Xueya's smiling expression froze slightly, and she asked hesitantly, "How come you two are together?"
"Oh," Xia Mian explained, "I heard them say that some of us transfer students had been to the police station, so I asked out of curiosity, and then we started chatting."
Sun Yuexin gloated, adding, "Finally, everyone was discussing whether this was just a rumor. After all, the school won't accept students with moral issues. Furthermore, these transfer students are all from out of town and don't know anyone at school. How could they possibly know they've been incarcerated?"
"Ah!" Xia Mian suddenly said, "I think I'm the biggest suspect!"
Everyone was shocked.
Then Xia Mian said with a joking smile, "After all, I'm the only transfer student who has acquaintances in our school. I knew Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen at the cram school. I also know Tian Xueya and Gu Zhou."
She raised her hand and pointed at Sun Yuexin, Li Lizhen, and finally Tian Xueya. "You guys didn't spread rumors about me, did you? Haha. Oh, by the way, there's also Gu Xiaochu."
Sun Yuexin immediately feigned anger and said, "Yes, I did it. I was jealous of your beauty and your academic performance, and I was afraid that you would steal my limelight if you came."
Li Lizhen was speechless, "Why would School Prince Gu make up rumors about you?"
Xia Mian said, "He's afraid that I'll steal his top spot in the grade!"
Although she spoke in a serious tone, everyone could tell she was joking.
Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen sneered disdainfully.
Xia Mian laughed out loud, seemingly not noticing Tian Xueya's stiff expression.
Although many students present smiled, their expressions were subtle.
A teenage girl is not very shrewd. Tian Xueya was eager to spread the rumor. She told many boys about it in person in the afternoon, and several classmates present heard it with their own ears.
Someone asked Xia Mian, "Classmate, how did you and Tian Xueya know each other?"
Xia Mian said, "I was playing with Sun Yuexin and the others at the temple fair, and then she brought Gu Zhou to say hello, and that's how we got to know each other."
Several girls looked at Tian Xueya with strange eyes.
Just look at Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen and you will know that Tian Xueya’s two faces are not hidden very well, so girls don’t like her very much.
And when it comes to this kind of thing, girls have super strong ability to solve cases.
"Classmate Tian Xueya," Xia Mian asked with concern, "Why is your face so pale? Are you feeling unwell? Go back and get some rest."
However, Tian Xueya didn't dare to leave, for fear that these people would say something bad about her if she left. She couldn't even make an excuse, so she could only say with a stiff face, "It's okay."
"You still need to get some rest." Xia Mian reminded them carefully, and then said goodbye to everyone, "It's time for me to go home. It's been fun chatting with you all. I hope we can be classmates again. Goodbye."
Everyone had a good impression of her and waved to her.
"Ah," Xia Mian took Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen's arms and walked two steps before stopping.
"Rumors stop at the wise. Although I don't know who started the rumor or who they were targeting, if you put yourself in their shoes, you wouldn't be able to stand being falsely accused of being a criminal just because you changed schools."
"Anyone who spreads rumors will become a perpetrator. I still prefer smart and kind classmates." Xia Mian smiled and winked at everyone before turning around and leaving again.
"Wow, she has a great personality."
“She’s so beautiful too.”
"Who on earth spread this rumor? Would someone who's been in jail be like this?"
"Haha, maybe someone is jealous of her. After all, she is beautiful and kind."
"Didn't she say that she only knew Sun Yuexin, Li Zhenzhen, Tian Xueya, and Gu Zhou?"
"Tian Xueya, I heard you say this afternoon that she was in police custody. Who told you that?"
"Exactly. You knew her through Sun Yuexin. How could you know her without Sun Yuexin knowing?"
"Also, don't you look down on Sun Yuexin? You actually took the initiative to say hello. Are you trying to show off that you and Gu Zhou are together?"
“…”
Xia Mian didn't care how Tian Xueya explained. They were all adults and old enough to be held criminally responsible. They had to pay the price for what they had done.
What she is more concerned about now is when she will start school and which class she will be assigned to.
The transfer result came out very quickly. The next day, Xia Wenyue received a notice from the school that Xia Mian had been admitted with excellent grades. It was said that only two of the six people were admitted, and Xia Mian was one of them.
There were only two students admitted to the junior high school. Although Mao Huilan had a weak foundation, she dropped a grade and studied hard, so she passed the exam with a score just above the passing line.
No matter what, successfully passing the exam is a victory. Xia Wenyue happily set up a table of food that day to celebrate Xia Mian and Mao Huilan's successful admission.
Junior high and high schools both have morning self-study sessions, and those who hibernate in summer have to get up at 6:30 at the latest.
Before daybreak, she would painfully pull herself out of the warm bed.
Xiao Feng turned over, rubbed her eyes and said drowsily, "Auntie?"
"Yes, Auntie is here." Xia Mian put on her clothes, wrapped him in a quilt, and carried him to the west room. "Do you remember what Auntie told you yesterday?"
Xiao Feng rested his head on her neck, his voice still full of sleepiness, "Remember, follow Aunt Huizhu in the morning, and you can see Auntie after kindergarten is over at noon."
Kindergarten has also started, but the start time is much later. For the next two years, the two people's schedules will be completely staggered.
Xia Mian touched his head and said, "Good boy."
In the west room, Xia Wenyue had gotten up early and was preparing breakfast for them. Only the little Huizhu was sleeping soundly.
Xia Mian placed Xiao Feng next to Hui Zhu, kissed his forehead and said, "Sleep a little longer and wake up with Aunt Hui Zhu."
Xiao Feng reluctantly stretched out her hand and touched Xia Mian's face, "Auntie, study hard and listen to your teacher."
"Okay!" Xia Mian kissed him hard, "See you at noon."
When they left, Xia Wenyue stuffed a pancake, an egg, and milk into each of her and Mao Huilan's schoolbags. "Be careful on the road, don't be late."
Walking on the road, Xia Mian realized that the road was so busy in the early morning. Everywhere she looked, there were students wearing blue and white school uniforms.
The feeling of returning to high school was very novel. She hadn't gotten up early and stayed up late to study for a long time.
When she woke up today, she couldn't help but think how great it would be if she could travel back in time and go to college. High school life was simply not a life for a human being.
But high school life also has its own beauty. Not everyone has the opportunity to experience such a time, so Xia Mian is very content.
Her head teacher is a tall and handsome boy named Mi. Perhaps because he has just taken over the class, he still maintains enthusiasm and energy. It is obvious that he is the kind of teacher who can get along well with students.
He smiled when he saw Xia Mian, "Oh, you are the treasure I got with my super luck."
At that time, Yanda High School did not have any key classes or experimental classes. There were eight classes in the first year of high school, and they were all divided equally according to their high school entrance examination scores.
Only Xia Mian and another boy passed yesterday's transfer exam. Xia Mian got full marks in almost all subjects except liberal arts, while the other student just barely passed. So the head teachers of the eight classes all wanted Xia Mian, and finally the grade leader said they would decide by drawing lots.
Xia Mian couldn't help but smile when he heard Teacher Mi say that he was lucky, "I think it's my honor to be caught by Teacher Mi."
Teacher Mi smiled even more happily.
The first class was Teacher Mi’s English morning self-study class. When he brought Xia Mian into the classroom, the classroom was quiet for a moment, and then there was a burst of cheers.
Xia Mian glanced around and found many familiar faces. In addition to Sun Yuexin, Li Lizhen, Gu Zhou and Tian Xueya, several boys who had discussed with her that day were also there. She smiled at everyone.
"I've used up all my luck for the year and brought this beautiful classmate to you." Teacher Mi said with a smile, "You two should get along well."
The classmates immediately applauded loudly, but Tian Xueya's face was pale, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
After a brief self-introduction, Teacher Mi arranged Xia Mian in an empty seat in the last row. "Our class is arranged according to grades. Xia Mian will sit there for now. You can change seats after the next exam. Is that okay?"
Xia Mian looked at Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen in the front row and was very satisfied. "No problem, thank you Teacher Mi."
Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen were also very happy.
"Oh my god, you're really assigned to our class. Thank you, Lao Mi."
"Maybe God heard my prayers."
"Hey, let me tell you," Sun Yuexin immediately shared the information with her, "Tian Xueya has been very quiet these past two days. Everyone knows that she was the one who spread the rumors."
"But you still have to be careful," Li Lizhen frowned slightly and said, "There are still some fools who don't believe it's fake, especially those gangsters. I'm afraid they will cause trouble for you."
Sun Yuexin said, "For example, Hao Jian's grandson."
Xia Mian was also mentally prepared for this. Sometimes rumors are spread not because people are stupid and don't believe them, but because they are willing to believe the bad ones for the sake of fun and excitement.
"Don't worry," Xia Mian said with a smile, "I was worried they wouldn't come."
In addition to refuting rumors, there is another way to defeat them, and that is to use legal weapons to slap them in the face!
If they dare to come, she will use the Criminal Law to slap them in the face!
