Gao Jing had made her choice, while Miao Man and others had already found Gu Baoshan.

Gu Baoshan now spends most of his time in the library. People who know him know where he is, so he is easy to find.

Gu Baoshan saw Miao Man and the other two and smiled, "Are you three looking for me to treat me to a meal?"

"It's impossible to have a meal with you, but I can settle the bill with you." Miao Man joked with a smile.

Gu Baoshan said, "Three ladies, how did I offend you? I apologize to you."

"It's not us." Seeing that there were many people around, Miao Man asked Gu Baoshan to talk outside.

The four people arrived outside the library. It was quiet and there were no outsiders around, so Miao Man told them what had happened.

Gu Baoshan's brows slowly knitted together, "Are you sure?"

"Senior Gu, if we are not sure, why would we come to you? You just need to tell us now whether you have told Gao Jing about the things at the Railway Administration?" Miao Man asked.

Gu Baoshan shook his head, "I haven't told anyone. As for Gao Jing, she won't plot against Ji Ling, right?"

"Don't worry about this. You won't understand even if I tell you." Miao Man confirmed again and again, "Senior Gu, you really haven't told anyone else?"

Gu Baoshan smiled bitterly, "Although I am in the student union, everyone is graduating now and waiting for assignment. Those whose families can afford it have already been accepted by units. For someone like me, I will only be assigned back to my hometown. No one will take me seriously, so there are not many people who come into contact with me, almost no one."

Miao Man, "That's what Shen Junyan and the others said."

I thought Gao Jing got a good deal.

But Ji Ling's analysis was not wrong. Miao Man couldn't figure it out, and in the end she didn't say anything more to Gu Baoshan. She just said a few words and left.

Gu Baoshan's face darkened as he watched the three people walk away.

After Miao Man and the other two returned to the dormitory, they told Ji Ling about the situation. "It's either Shen Junyan or that Gu Chao. Senior Gu said that he didn't tell Gao Jing."

Ji Ling was surprised, "Have you confirmed it again and again?"

Miao Man nodded. "I have asked carefully. Senior Gu would not help Gao Jing lie to us, so this incident was not told by her."

Ji Ling put down the book and slowly sat up, "Did she really get wronged?"

"No, let's go ask Gu Chao and see what he says." Li Jia suggested.

"Forget it." Ji Ling stopped the three people. "Since it's not Gao Jing, there's no need to argue about it anymore. Otherwise, people will accuse me of meddling. Besides, the rumors are so widespread outside that even if it was really spread by Gu Chao, he won't admit it."

The three of them thought so and agreed. When they really asked, Gu Chao denied it and even said that Ji Ling was strong.

But I was being plotted against, and I'm not willing to accept it.

On the other hand, Gu Baoshan found Gao Jing that night.

Gao Jing walked from the cafeteria to the dormitory alone, while Jiang Zheng went straight home after school in the afternoon.

Gao Jing also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gu Baoshan coming to find her.

"Senior Gu." Gao Jing greeted with a smile.

Gao Jing followed quietly, and the two of them arrived at the grove behind the dormitory building.

"Senior Gu, are you looking for me because of Ji Ling?"

After the two stopped, Gao Jing took the initiative to ask.

"You know? Miao Man and two other people came to me at noon today and asked me if I had told you about our work in the General Administration of Railways. I denied telling you." Gu Baoshan stared at Gao Jing, trying to see something from her reaction.

Gao Jing pursed her lips, "Senior Gu, do you believe me? It really wasn't me. Ji Ling has always had a deep prejudice against me. What good would it do for me to do this? In fact, when it comes to Ji Ling, I will stay away from her, for fear that Ji Ling will think you. You also know how powerful her in-laws are. How could I mess with them?"

Gu Baoshan said, "It's good that you think this way. The conflict between you and Ji Ling is not just one or two days. Usually you just go to school. If you really talk about it, there is no big hatred or grudge. There is no need to make trouble behind your back."

At this point, he paused and said, "After all, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable."

Gao Jing nodded vigorously, like a primary school student listening attentively to the class, and said devoutly, "Senior Gu, thank you for telling me this, and thank you for understanding me. People from families like ours will always lag behind no matter what. Senior is so outstanding, but he still has to be assigned back to his hometown. I have always felt unfair for you. I hope the best for you, and I hope that through your visit to the Railway General Administration this time, your excellence will be noticed by them and you will be retained to work there."

"Senior has helped me so much, how could I possibly cause trouble for him at this time." Gao Jing lowered her head in shame, "In the future, I will try to have as little contact with you as possible, so that Ji Ling will not misunderstand you."

Gu Baoshan felt depressed, "Don't think too much. It's not shameful to be born in a humble family. As long as we work hard, we will definitely be good. No matter where we are, we will shine."

"As for our relationship, you don't have to worry. Ji Ling is not such a petty person. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved, Ji Ling and I will explain it later."

"Senior, thank you. You are the only one in this school who truly cares about me." Gao Jing looked up with tears in her eyes. "I am usually with Jiang Zheng, but something happened today. Although Jiang Zheng protected me, she also questioned me when it was just the two of us. In fact, she still didn't regard me as a friend. I thought too simply. In the future, people will not only become friends based on interests."

"Don't think too much." Gu Baoshan was also soft-hearted after hearing these words, "It's getting late, I'll take you back."

Gao Jing wiped her tears, nodded, and walked forward with Gu Baoshan.

When they reached the dormitory building entrance, Gu Baoshan stopped and said, "Go up."

"Senior, please go back early too." Gao Jing nodded, turned around and went upstairs.

The two of them were naturally seen in the dormitory building, and the rumors about Gao Jing and Gu Baoshan that had been spread earlier were confirmed.

When Miao Man came back from fetching water and vividly described how everyone in the hot water room was talking about Gao Jing and Gu Baoshan, Ji Ling just smiled.

"Ji Ling, do you think it's fake?"

"what you think?"

"I think so too. But Gao Jing was wiping her tears in front of Senior Gu. Did Senior Gu go to question her?" Miao Man mentioned what happened during the day.

Ji Ling gave her a praising look, "Not bad, you've made progress."

Miao Man raised her chin and said, "That's right, I didn't even look at who brought him out."

The three people in the dormitory were amused by her words. Miao Man became interested and even said she wanted to call Ji Ling "Master". Everyone didn't quiet down until the lights were turned off.
