Night falls.

The lights in the ballroom light up one after another, decorating the night like day.

Students enter the auditorium in groups. The boys are wearing school uniforms, suits and ties, and they all look youthful. The girls change into summer school uniforms, and their faces are bright and clean.

Shi Mu and her group walked behind. Looking at the students passing by, Shi Mu couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, it was too immoral to scare people with ghosts. If someone had a bad heart, they would get hurt...

When she was thinking about it, Zhou Zhi bumped her elbow and said, "Brother Mu, the king and the queen will go on stage to give a speech and make a summary. You should go up and tell the truth. It's two different things for you to admit your mistakes and for the school to issue a notice. Then let your brother and others come forward and everything will be done."

Shi Mu nodded and entered the auditorium.

The room was warm. She unbuttoned her coat and took a sip of juice, feeling quite uneasy.

The clock pointed to eight o'clock, and the dance officially began.

When the lights in the lobby were all dimmed, the principal walked to the front of the stage. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes passed in the direction of Shi Mu, and that look revealed deep thought.

"It's Yingnan's annual winter celebration again. First of all, I want to say thank you for your hard work..."

After the official speech, the principal suddenly changed the subject: "The dance is supposed to be everyone's time, but there is something I have to tell you. Among you, someone has faked his identity, disguised his gender, and sneaked into the male dormitory for a year. This behavior is vile and has seriously affected the reputation of our school!"

This remark immediately caused an uproar, and the whole hall was instantly in chaos. Then, all kinds of eyes came to Shi Mu from all directions.

Someone beside him whispered.

"Could it be Shi Mu?"

"It must be Shi Mu. He revealed his true identity on the stage today."

"I live in 414. How disgusting! Did he see me naked?"

"If he really saw you naked, you'd have taken advantage..."

The discussion became louder and louder, and the words became more unpleasant.

"Shi Mu has been pestering Fu Yunshen since the beginning. Maybe he sneaked in just for Fu Yunshen."

"Tsk, the two of them must have..."

When the two boys next to him were about to continue talking, they felt a pair of big hands holding their shoulders tightly. They turned their heads and saw Zhou Zhi's sinister gaze.

Zhou Zhi's eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and warned: "If you try to do that again, I'll twist your heads off."

The two of them trembled in fear, pursed their lips tightly, and dared not speak anymore.

"Quiet!"

The principal on the stage stopped the chattering with a shout.

He continued, "I think you have all guessed who it is. It's Shi Mu, who was just assigned to Class 1 of Senior 3 this year." His eyes fell on Shi Mu, "Student Shi Mu, do you have anything else to say?"

Several people had never expected that the school would announce the truth at the dance. They thought they could take the initiative, but in the end they were too smart.

Shi Mu stood straight, her neatly ironed uniform set off her tall figure, and silver light swirled in her hair. She stood quietly, with a reserved and noble air.

"Teacher, I don't have much to say." Neither arrogant nor humble, her tone was calm and peaceful.

The principal frowned: "Can you tell me why you did this?"

Shi Mu: "I have nothing to say. The fault is mine. I will obey all the punishments from the school."

Seeing Shi Mu like this, the principal sighed heavily. He certainly couldn't expel him, but it was not right to let him go. What would other students think if he didn't receive any punishment at all? To be more serious, this group of naughty students might not take the school rules seriously.

The principal adjusted the microphone and was about to continue speaking when a sharp electric current sound suddenly came from the microphone, echoing through the speakers throughout the hall. The eardrums stimulated by the noise seemed to be torn apart, and it was sharp and painful.

A group of people hurriedly covered their ears and looked around.

Suddenly, the lights above my head went out one after another...
