After the physical education class, Sun Yuexin immediately went to Zhao Cheng to discuss countermeasures.
Xia Mian propped up her chin and thought about how to maintain her fairy image as elegantly as possible during evening self-study.
As a result, before they could wait for Hao Jian, it was Tian Xueya who started the trouble first.
The bell for the last evening self-study class rang, and Xia Mian, Sun Yuexin, Li Lizhen and others were all wondering when Hao Jian would come.
Tian Xueya suddenly wiped her tears and walked all the way from the second row to the last row, then stopped in front of Xia Mian.
"I'm sorry, Xia Mian." Tian Xueya cried aggrievedly, "I shouldn't have said such bad things about you. I apologize."
Xia Mian looked up at her, and the classmates all looked over at her.
Tian Xueya sobbed, "I've been taking piano lessons at Qiuzhi Building for six months. I've always seen you in cram school. Later, I saw you hanging out with Sun Yuexin and the others, and you seemed especially close to Hao Jian, so I misunderstood."
"Later, when I ran into you at the temple fair, you said your transfer was related to a criminal case." She turned to Gu Zhou in front of her for confirmation. "Gu Zhou heard about this, too, right?"
Gu Zhou nodded without hesitation.
Tian Xueya suddenly smiled sweetly, and her big watery eyes looked charming under the light.
Gu Zhou's expression softened noticeably.
Tian Xueya seemed to be encouraged and continued to say to Xia Mian, "Then I heard Hao Jian say that you had been to the police station, and I believed it."
Xia Mian tilted her head. Was she going to shift the blame to Hao Jian?
"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong," she said, tears streaming down her face. "Please don't let everyone isolate me. I won't do that again."
"Fuck!" Sun Yuexin slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily, "Tian Xueya, what the hell are you talking about? What do you mean? It's your fault that everyone isolated you!"
One boy immediately said, "Sun Yuexin, you've almost given up. Didn't you see Tian Xueya crying?"
Xia Mian held down Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen, who were about to make a move, and said softly, "Yes, Tian Xueya doesn't have any other intentions. Don't get excited yet."
Li Lizhen said angrily, "What do you mean? Why is it that she spread the rumor herself and now it seems like you are bullying her?"
"Okay, calm down." Xia Mian comforted them both, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and reached out to wipe Tian Xueya's tears.
Tian Xueya didn't know whether she was guilty or afraid, and she subconsciously hid back.
Xia Mian didn't mind. She smiled slightly and handed her the handkerchief, saying gently, "Don't cry. If you cry like this, everyone will think I'm bullying you."
Tian Xueya took the handkerchief, but she still felt uneasy in her heart. She continued to cry and said, "I'm sorry, I won't dare to do it again."
"Fuck! You still have something to say?!" Sun Yuexin was a little irritable. She was about to have a tough battle, and this person took the opportunity to make trouble. Considering what happened to her in the toilet this afternoon, Sun Yuexin could guarantee that Tian Xueya definitely did it on purpose.
"Oh," Xia Mian held Sun Yuexin down and said, "I already said Tian Xueya meant no harm."
She said softly, "Let me summarize what Tian Xueya just said: She had her reasons and difficulties for spreading rumors about me."
"First, I attended cram school for half a year last semester, and she thought I was a poor student."
"Secondly, I'm hanging out with you and Lizhen. According to the social law of birds of a feather flock together, I shouldn't be a good person either."
"Third, because I'm pretty, she saw me being surrounded by Hao Jian, so she thought I had a good relationship with Hao Jian."
"Fourth, I personally said that I was involved in a criminal case, and she happened to have a good relationship with Hao Jian. So when Hao Jian told her that I had been in police custody, she naturally chose to believe her friend."
When Xia Mian started talking, everyone was listening seriously, but after hearing the rest of the story, they suddenly felt something was wrong.
Tian Xueya also said anxiously, "No, I..."
"I know." Xia Mian interrupted her gently, "I understand what you mean. You apologized to me and explained so many reasons. I will accept your apology and naturally understand your meaning."
"In short, it's because of all the reasons above. Tian Xueya, you made your own judgment and trusted your good friend Hao Jian, so you told everyone that I had been in jail."
"That's not what I meant!" Tian Xueya couldn't help but sound angry.
Xia Mian tilted her head, "What does that mean? What did I misunderstand?"
Tian Xueya said, "I don't even know Hao Jian."
Li Lizhen said, "But don't you believe what Hao Jian said?"
Xia Mian said, "Yes, how can you trust him if you don't know him?" At this point, she said earnestly, "But to be honest, Xueya, you should stay away from Hao Jian. That person has questionable character and is not trustworthy."
"Anyway, I've been blocked by him a few times. He's just a stinking hooligan." Xia Mian suggested sincerely, "Don't believe a single word he says."
Tian Xueya was so stunned that she couldn't speak.
Coupled with the playful and meaningful looks from those around her, her mind went blank, and she couldn't figure out how she heard these words from Hao Jian's mouth.
Xia Meng continued, "As for isolating you, I really didn't do that."
"I think it's because you have a little bit of arbitrary reasoning and judgment that people are afraid to get close to you."
Xia Mian said, "For example, that rumor. He's a poor student in our school, has a good relationship with people like Sun Yuexin, and was surrounded by Hao Jian. He's been talked to by at least 200 students. Xueya, you should have been surrounded by him too, otherwise how could a good student like you know a gangster like Hao Jian?"
"If we follow your logic, Xueya, then aren't we all just the scum of society? Our Yanda High School isn't a key high school, but a training ground for criminals?"
The students were stunned by the metaphor of summer hibernation, and the students with poor academic performance in the back row couldn't help but applaud.
"Haha, isn't it? Does being a poor student mean being a criminal?"
"I, I didn't mean that!" Tian Xueya's voice couldn't help but become sharp, "I never thought about it that way."
"Yeah, I know you definitely didn't mean it." Xia Mian's voice became softer and softer. "You are just making common sense inferences, but the classmates are afraid that you will misunderstand."
"Just like you right now, I don't know how you judged it, but I somehow became the villain who isolated you," she said with a slightly aggrieved tone, "I feel sad too."
"That's right." The boy who had previously confronted Sun Yuexin immediately said, "Tian Xueya, Xia Mian didn't isolate you. You are too arbitrary."
After all, such stubborn idiots are a minority.
After Xia Mian's analysis, most people realized that Tian Xueya's so-called apology was obviously ill-intentioned. Otherwise, Xia Mian didn't blame her at all, but she cried like that and begged for forgiveness.
Someone couldn't help but say, "Tian Xueya, Xia Mian has never said a bad word about you since she came to our class. Has anyone heard that?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Tian Xueya felt the reproachful gazes from all around her and felt so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Xia Mian was still very considerate and said, "I accept your apology. I have never blamed you. Don't blame yourself. I know that my coming may have taken away some of your attention, so you feel a little uncomfortable with being ignored."
"But everyone is just here because it's new to you. You're so good, everyone will come back to you soon."
Xia Mian thought as she spoke, no wonder so many people like to be a white lotus, it feels quite good, making her unable to stop, and said to her classmates, "Everyone, don't talk to me too much in the future, and pay more attention to classmate Tian Xueya."
There was a sudden burst of boos all around.
Tian Xueya didn't expect that instead of getting rid of the blame, things became even worse. At this moment, she clenched her fists tightly and cried sincerely.
"No, it's obviously not like that. I didn't mean that at all!" She said while looking towards the door frequently, obviously expecting something.
There was a coldness in Xia Mian's eyes. It was obvious that this was a well-thought-out calculation made by the girl after she learned of Hao Jian's plan.
At this point in time, if Xia Mian had not been so quick-witted, and had been morally blackmailed, and had happened to run into Hao Jian who was slandering her, Tian Xueya might have been able to make a beautiful comeback.
But whether she simply wanted to clear herself or was thinking of taking advantage of Xia Mian's misfortune, she seemed to have completely not considered what kind of things Xia Mian would encounter in the future. She was either extremely selfish or had a vicious mind.
Tian Xueya's timing was indeed good. Just when she didn't know how to defend herself, the back door of Class 3's classroom was pushed open.
"Hey, Miss Xia, long time no see. Did you miss me?" Hao Jian walked in with a bowed step.
He was followed by two young men in their twenties. Although they were wearing the school uniforms of the affiliated middle school, their eyes and temperament were out of place on campus.
He is a gangster in society.
Tian Xueya's eyes lit up and she quickly retreated back to her seat as if frightened.
Xia Mian looked back at her before looking at Hao Jian expressionlessly.
"Are you Xia Mian?" This hoarse-voiced thug was chubby and had the same sinister look in his eyes as Hao Jian.
Of course, the other dark and thin one was about the same. When he saw Xia Mian's appearance, his eyes were shining. "She is indeed a beautiful girl. The feeling of a schoolgirl is different."
As he spoke, he walked towards Xia Mian.
The students in the class were confused about what was going on for a moment, but they all kept their distance from this kind of thug.
Sun Yuexin and Li Lizhen stood up and said to the people around them, "Step back a little, be careful not to get hurt."
Hao Jian said with amusement, "Sun Yuexin, are you preparing for a fight?"
"That's right," Zhao Cheng came in from the door with seven or eight tall and strong men and ordered the boys in front, "You block the front door and don't let them escape."
Then he sneered at Hao Jian, "If I don't let you walk out of this door sideways today, I, Zhao Cheng, will believe you!"
