After walking through the cafeteria, Wu Wenqian's emotions calmed down somewhat, but when she returned to the dormitory and saw Zhou Wen, she couldn't control her emotions again.
Wu Wenqian didn't say anything, just carried the fruit she bought inside, ignoring Zhou Wen who was standing to the side, and went straight to her bed.
The other people in the dormitory sensed that something was off between the two and were confused, but they still didn't know what had happened and looked at Wen Ruan blankly.
Wen Ruan pursed her lips, shook her head, signaling everyone not to ask any more questions, and remained silent.
When the lunch break ended, everyone had classes in the afternoon. Usually, they would go out together, so Song Ge invited everyone to walk together.
The group of people took their belongings and walked out the door together. The atmosphere remained very awkward the whole way. Usually, Song Ge and Wu Wenqian would tease each other and make the atmosphere very cheerful.
But now...
Apart from the person involved and Wen Ruan, everyone else was still a bit confused and kept trying to signal to her with their eyes.
Because of their different majors, the two groups had to go to different teaching buildings. Wen Ruan suddenly felt a little sorry for Song Ge... She looked at her with sympathy and encouragement in her eyes.
This left Song Ge completely at a loss.
After the group separated, Dong Ya and Zhao Xiaoyan stared intently at Wen Ruan.
Wen Ruan felt a little uneasy under their gaze: "What are you two doing?" Wen Ruan didn't know where to put her hands when she was being stared at.
"What exactly happened when you went out? Why does the atmosphere seem so strange when you come back?" Zhao Xiaoyan asked.
Dong Ya stared at her without blinking...
Wen Ruan was in a bit of a dilemma. After all, it was someone else's business, and it wouldn't be good for her to say anything, so she could only keep quiet.
Seeing that the two were unmoved, he had no choice but to say, "I feel that you will find out soon... I shouldn't say too much about other people's business."
Dong Ya and Zhao Xiaoyan had no choice but to give up.
As Wen Ruan expected, it didn't even take a few days before everyone in the dormitory knew about it.
That day, Wen Ruan had just returned home and was running out of time, so she planned to go straight to the classroom. She happened to run into Zhao Xiaoyan and Dong Ya in the teaching building, and the two of them were very excited when they saw Wen Ruan.
"What's wrong with you two?" There are still a few minutes before class starts.
Zhao Xiaoyan and Dong Ya quickly pulled Wen Ruan aside.
"Ruan Ruan, I'm shocked! How could my older sister do this!"
“Yesterday, when Dong Ya and I returned to the dorm, we happened to run into Wen Qian and the eldest sister arguing. When we entered, we heard what they were saying. I really didn’t expect the eldest sister to be this kind of person. She clearly knew that Wen Qian had liked Zhou Wei for a long time. Zhou Wei had given Wen Qian some things before, and she was still sharing them in the dorm.”
"And she did this!" Zhao Xiaoyan exclaimed angrily, utterly bewildered.
Wen Ruan didn't know how to talk about this. She felt it was hard to comment on. If she hadn't encountered Zhou Wen's ex-husband coming to the school to find her, she might have been able to understand. After all, Wu Wenqian and Zhou Wei hadn't officially started dating yet. If Zhou Wen and Zhou Wei liked each other, it would be normal. Everyone has the right to pursue the person they like.
However, after discovering Zhou Wen's past, Wen Ruan felt she couldn't bear to look at it...
"The atmosphere in the dorm is very awkward now, making us all afraid to speak."
"Poor Song Ge. When we went back yesterday, she seemed to be the one who was the most upset. She was almost crying. They are classmates and roommates. Being caught in the middle must have been really awkward," Dong Ya sighed from the side.
Wen Ruan glanced at her watch; class was about to start, so she gestured for the two to wait until after class to talk.
"Sigh, I don't even want to go back to my dorm after class... Oh well, I'd better go to class now, see you later."
After Wen Ruan finished class, she went to the cafeteria for a meal and then prepared to go back to her dormitory to rest.
Pushing open the door, the room was very quiet, everyone was doing their own thing. When Wen Ruan entered, none of them spoke, they just looked up at her, pursed their lips, and that was their way of greeting her.
Wen Ruan also went in without saying a word. She understood what Dong Ya and Zhao Xiaoyan had said that morning. She hadn't expected the atmosphere in the dormitory to be so heavy.
Wen Ruan initially thought that this matter might just pass, and that nothing could get any worse, but...
One day at noon, when Wen Ruan returned to her dorm to rest, Wu Wenqian and Zhou Wen were not there. Song Ge, who was in the dorm, said excitedly, "Sisters, do you know why they didn't come back?"
Seeing Song Ge's excited and gossipy expression, the group of people became curious and gathered around.
"What happened? Where did they go?" Wen Ruan asked cooperatively.
"Our class rankings came out a couple of days ago. Our counselor said we can apply for scholarships. Zhou Wen is first in our class, and Wen Qian also did very well this time, ranking second in our class."
"The counselor said that our class has a scholarship that is different from the school's. It is said to be set up by a personal donation, but there is only one spot, and it is usually given to the student with the best grades."
"And then!" Song Ge paused, panting slightly, reached for the cup on the table, and took a big gulp.
This drew angry stares from the crowd.
"And then! When the counselor announced that the spot was to be given to Zhou Wen, Wen Qian stood up in front of the whole class and pointed out that Zhou Wen had cheated on the final exam!" Song Ge exclaimed in amazement.
Everyone was stunned by the news, feeling utterly incredulous.
"Did Zhou Wen really cheat during the exam?" Wen Ruan asked, getting straight to the point.
In Wen Ruan's opinion, regardless of what kind of person Zhou Wen was, she was definitely serious about her studies. She was always the first person in the dormitory to get up and study, and she worked very hard. Now, to say that she cheated on the exam, Wen Ruan found it hard to believe.
"I don't know. I don't know how Wenqian found out. I was far away from my older sister during the exam, so I didn't pay much attention to these things," Song Ge answered truthfully.
"What did your counselor say?" Zhao Xiaoyan asked curiously.
"The whole classroom erupted in discussion. The counselor didn't say anything at the time, just that she would investigate later. Then, after the class meeting, she called Zhou Wen and Wen Qian away, and they haven't come back yet." Everyone sighed as they said this.
It feels like things are getting more and more serious. The harmonious and happy atmosphere in the six-person dormitory last semester seems like an illusion.
