Reconciliation, no talk
Thinking of this, Shen Xiu frowned slightly.
If the counselor really does as he wishes and asks him to reconcile with Ling Yuanzhen, how should he respond?
Thinking of that situation, Shen Xiu, who was not very good at refusing others, paused, but the pause lasted only less than three seconds before he continued to move forward.
After all...he was not good at saying no to others, and he was afraid and reluctant to call his counselor and tell him that he didn't want to go to school.
With a nervous mood, Shen Xiu walked towards the dormitory he hadn't been to for a long time.
Seeing the familiar dormitory gate not far away, Shen Xiu raised his hand and gently pulled the black mask on his face, feeling a little short of breath.
Having gone back and forth countless times to the dormitory in this building, it was the first time that Shen Xiu felt that whether to stay close to the dormitory building was such a difficult decision.
Chen Xiu, who was unable to make a decision, slowed down his pace in order to delay the meeting with the counselor...
People in the two dormitory buildings built opposite each other were going up or down the stairs. People coming and going saw the tall figure and the cold aura, and even though he was wearing a mask, they knew it was Shen Xiu.
After they were away from Chen Xiu's sight and made sure that Chen Xiu would not hear their muttering, they were shocked and talked about it with their friends around them.
"Chen Xiu?!"
"Have you seen the PPT he sent? Damn it, Ling Yuanzhen is the same. Why would he be jealous of anyone else but Chen Xiu? Chen Xiu is so cool and arrogant, he doesn't care about anyone. He is in trouble now."
"I just saw in the group that our department dean, vice dean, and several school leaders are here. Tsk tsk, Ling Yuanzhen is really miserable."
"Why don't I see Ling Yuanzhen?"
"People in Ling Yuanzhen's dormitory said that he was sleeping..."
"......6, Ling Yuanzhen is really brave. Damn it, why am I not from Ling Yuanzhen's dormitory? If I were, I could watch the show in person."
“Do you think that if Shen Xiu comes to the dormitory in such a menacing manner, will he beat up Ling Yuanzhen?”
“What are you thinking about? Shen Xiu is too lazy to do it himself. Besides, there are the school leaders. Shen Xiu will definitely not bother to do something that damages his style.”
Although Shen Xiu deliberately slowed down his pace and didn't hear what everyone was saying, he could see everyone secretly looking at him when they passed by him.
Shen Xiu: “…”
Now that he’s here, he might as well go up. Otherwise... if he walks as slowly as a turtle, his classmates will think he’s weird.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiu resigned himself to his fate and walked towards the dormitory gate not far away.
As an artist, most netizens knew that Shen Xiu lived in Yulin Banxia, and the counselor naturally knew it too.
Therefore, after finishing the call with Shen Xiu in the office, the counselor knew that Shen Xiu would arrive at the dormitory building where Shen Xiu originally lived within fifteen minutes. As the school leaders also wanted to inquire about the situation from the dormitory manager, the counselor brought the school leaders over in advance.
A few steps into the gate is the dormitory manager's work and rest room. At this moment, in the dormitory manager's window room, except for him and the counselor, all the others are school leaders. The counselor came out to take a breath, and unexpectedly saw Chen Xiu outside the gate.
The counselor immediately raised his hand excitedly and waved to Chen Xiu: "Chen Xiu! Here!"
Shen Xiu: “…”
It’s over. The counselor saw me before I could even think it through. Now I have no way out.
"Okay." Shen Xiu responded with difficulty. At the instructor's beckoning, he had to bite the bullet and move closer to the instructor.
The counselors at Jinghe University are not lecturers. They are graduate students of the university who stay on campus temporarily as counselors or graduate students from other schools. However, students will still treat them as "teachers" out of courtesy.
Shen Xiu walked to the entrance of the dormitory gate, and was only three steps away from walking in front of the counselor, and said, "Teacher, I..."
Before Shen Xiu finished speaking, the dormitory door was opened and a familiar voice came from inside.
"Chen Xiu."
Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Xiu subconsciously kept silent and tilted his head to look: "Teacher Jiang..."
Seeing Jiang Jinya, who was wearing a cheongsam and looked bookish, standing behind her were the deans, vice deans and other school leaders of the four schools.
Shen Xiuren was dumbfounded.
Help, who can tell him what is going on? !
As a student with high hopes at Jinghe University, a future outstanding graduate, and a well-known academic master in Jinghe, Shen Xiu had already met various school leaders here under Jiang Jinya's intentional introduction, and also had their contact information. Shen Xiu could match them all up in his mind.
Seeing this group of people, Shen Xiu's brain was so frightened that it instantly crashed.
When the counselor called, he didn't tell him that there were so many school leaders there! His mentor, Professor Jiang, is also here!
Although Shen Xiu's brain was confused, his hands had already taken off the black mask on his face as quickly as possible, and his mouth had already gotten used to speaking, greeting each one of them: "President Zhou, President Huang..."
While Chen Xiu greeted him numbly and stiffly, he was nervously reviewing what he had done recently that made the school leaders come to him collectively.
When the school leaders saw Shen Xiu meeting them, they took off their masks in an orderly manner, and then greeted them one by one in a calm tone.
I thought that although I deliberately didn't let the counselor tell Shen Xiu that they were also involved in this matter, but judging from Shen Xiu's current reaction, it seemed that it didn't make any sense to tell Shen Xiu or not.
Judging from Shen Xiu's current appearance, he probably anticipated the current situation from the moment he received the call from the counselor... No, it should be from the moment Shen Xiu decided to make a PPT to clarify himself and expose the rumormongers to the public.
Chen Xiu knew that the school would look for him, but he remained calm.
This state appeared in a young man like Shen Xiu, and the school leaders present found that they did not find it strange or disconnected.
There was even a feeling that netizens said, "It's Shen Xiu, then it's okay", as if anything happening to Shen Xiu would not be strange.
While Shen Xiu was asking for his blessing, he also reviewed his actions in his mind.
Shen Xiu found that he had not done anything bad recently.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiu's uneasy heart gradually calmed down.
Shen Xiu, whose panicked heart gradually calmed down, realized belatedly that after he greeted him, no one responded to him, but tacitly raised their eyes slightly and looked at him quietly.
Shen Xiu: “…”
Why did the deans just look at him without saying anything or responding when he had done nothing wrong? Could it be that his voice was too soft when he greeted him just now, or... he forgot to greet someone?
Help...what kind of heavenly law did he break!
Being stared at in silence by everyone, Shen Xiu, who didn't understand what was going on, had the urge to turn around and run away.
But Chen Xiu faced so many school leaders at once that his legs were weak, and to round it off, it was almost like his feet were welded to the ground.
I want to run but I don't have the energy to do so.
I didn't dare to run and I couldn't run away. I didn't know what mistake I had made to deserve the criticism from the school leaders. My head was buzzing and I didn't know what to say. Or rather, I didn't dare to say anything. After all, the more I said, the more mistakes I made.
Therefore, Shen Xiu could only remain silent and wait for the school leaders to ask him.
After the school leaders saw Shen Xiu greet them politely with obvious alienation, they pursed their thin lips and stared at them expressionlessly, confronting them with a firm and cold look.
I originally wanted Shen Xiu to delete the blog post and suppress the matter, but I suddenly didn’t know how to start.
Moreover, looking at Shen Xiu's indifferent attitude, he didn't take their deliberate lack of response to the greetings to heart.
To put it bluntly, Shen Xiu didn't care about their unintentional pressure at all.
After all, Shen Xiu's current stern expression didn't seem like he was in a state that could be negotiated with.
The counselor and the dormitory manager looked at Chen Xiu standing alone, confronting the school leaders in front of the door in silence. They looked at each other tacitly, and couldn't help but breathe lightly, not daring to breathe.
The two of them are really miserable. They are confronting each other and neither of them can afford to offend anyone. It's really embarrassing to stand here.
As a bystander, Jiang Jinya raised her hand and coughed twice to break the awkward atmosphere: "Ahem..."
She didn't want to come at first, but the principal called her, so she came out of the principal's favor.
But she also clearly told the principal that she was just here to check on the situation and persuade Shen Xiu to "make a big deal out of a small matter". She would not interfere with either Shen Xiu's decision or the school's decision.
Hearing Jiang Jinya's cough, Shen Xiu looked at Jiang Jinya subconsciously with concern: "Teacher, do you have a cold?"
Jiang Jinya smiled and waved her hand: "No."
Shen Xiu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, but his eyes were still focused on Jiang Jinya.
Dean Zhou saw that his invisible pressure was ineffective, so he glanced at the counselor, who smiled and said, "Since everyone is here, let's go up."
"Um."
"Let's go, up."
"OK."
Hearing the voices of the school leaders, Shen Xiu felt that as a student, and a junior at that, he should not get involved in the words of the "adults", nor did he think that the counselor would remain silent when he would ask for his opinion on the matter of "whether to go up or not".
The counselors and dormitory managers walked in front to lead the way, and the school leaders subconsciously walked in front.
Jiang Jinya didn't move, but turned her head to look at Chen Xiu: "Help me, I'm old, and climbing seven floors at once may be a bit difficult."
This third-year dormitory building is an old one with only eight floors. Unlike the new dormitory buildings, it does not have an elevator and people have to climb to get to it.
Hearing Jiang Jinya's relaxed voice, Shen Xiu's nervous mood was relieved a lot, and he immediately reached out to hold Jiang Jinya's arm: "Okay."
The school leaders who were walking in front: “…”
Didn’t we agree to be bystanders? Why does it feel a little bit off?
Shen Xiu supported Jiang Jinya and walked at the end.
When Chen Xiu visited Jiang Jinya's home in the past, it was always for homework and private guidance, and 90% of their topics were related to academics.
Chen Xiu was not good at small talk, and with the wolf in front of him, his mind was even more confused. He couldn't think of a topic to talk about for a while, so he just went to the seventh floor in silence.
As no one had mentioned mediation along the way, Shen Xiu heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that it probably wasn't mediation, as the mediation he had seen was not this kind of thing.
Standing at the familiar dormitory door, Shen Xiu stood at the back and saw the counselor lowering his head and tapping on his mobile phone a few times. In less than five seconds, the dormitory door opened.
The person who opened the door was Shen Xiu's classmate, "Teacher, Dean Zhou, Dean Liu, Professor Jiang..."
After opening the door, Shen Xiu's former roommate greeted the school leaders and teachers one by one, and his eyes fell on Shen Xiu with sympathy: "Shen Xiu."
Shen Xiu nodded in response and called out the other person's name.
Seeing that the dormitory door was already open, the counselor said to the student who opened the door as a matter of course: "Well, go and have fun."
Hearing this, the student who opened the door had no room to refuse and could only nod: "Okay, teacher."
Shen Xiu’s former roommates understood this situation very well. As students, they all understood it. They definitely wanted Ling Yuanzhen and Shen Xiu to admit their mistakes, delete the blog post, and let the matter go.
After all, when something negative happens in many schools and becomes a hot topic, their first reaction is to suppress the incident as a scandal.
The school doesn't care what these students think and stubbornly believes that suppressing it is the right decision.
But...for those perpetrators who like to spread rumors about others again and again, every one of them who lives an honest life may become a 'victim' in the future. He knows that the school's decision is one thing, but being unwilling to accept it is another.
The only thing he could do was not to wake up Ling Yuanzhen, who was happily sleeping in bed after spreading the rumor.
Perhaps, seeing Ling Yuanzhen’s negative attitude, the school leaders might not protect him.
Ling Yuanzhen was the only one left in the dormitory. The counselor was puzzled. The door was open, and Ling Yuanzhen's roommate asked why Ling Yuanzhen didn't come out to call for help?
Maybe he got into trouble and was scared, so he ran to the toilet to escape.
With this thought in mind, the counselor pushed open the dormitory door completely and let the school leaders go in first.
After everyone entered, the counselor standing by the door closed it.
After closing the door, the counselor saw that the school leaders standing in front of him were all looking in the same direction. The counselor followed their line of sight and saw Ling Yuanzhen lying in the direction of the bed behind the door with his eyes closed, facing their direction.
counselor:"......"
6. It’s already this late, and Ling Yuanzhen can still sleep? !
Seeing Ling Yuanzhen sleeping on the bed, Chen Xiu, who was the last one to enter the room and stood beside Ling Yuanzhen's bed, could look at Ling Yuanzhen's face by turning his head, and began to doubt his life.
He couldn't sleep because of the rumor of "hit-and-run". How could Ling Yuanzhen have the nerve to sleep?
Shen Xiu felt unbalanced and stared at Ling Yuanzhen with resentment.
Jiang Jinya frowned slightly when she saw that Ling Yuanzhen showed no signs of waking up.
When the leaders saw Shen Xiu coming in, they stared at Ling Yuanzhen with a chilly gaze, thinking that looking at Shen Xiu's eyes, the difficulty of persuading him had increased.
Ling Yuanzhen was awakened by a dream in which he was surrounded by a group of vicious wolves.
When Chen Xiu saw Ling Yuanzhen open his eyes, he couldn't help but whispered: "How did you fall asleep..."
counselor:"......"
For some reason, he felt that Shen Xiu had a bit of humor in him.
Ling Yuanzhen opened his eyes and met Shen Xiu's cold gaze. Hearing Shen Xiu's sinister voice, he jumped up in fright and sat up with the quilt in his arms, leaning against the wall in panic, while he was about to curse: "Fuck Shen Xiu, you bastard..."
Counselor: “Ahem!”
The curse words coming out of Ling Yuanzhen's mouth were stopped in time by the counselor's cough. Ling Yuanzhen was frightened by Shen Xiu at first, but after being reminded, he saw a room full of school leaders and was so frightened that his heart almost stopped.
After recovering, Ling Yuanzhen stammered and greeted while hurriedly getting down from the upper bunk: "Dean Zhou..."
After coming down, Ling Yuanzhen was in a mess. He had no intention of looking at Chen Xiu. His attention was all on the school leaders. He thought, is Chen Xiu a child? He would complain to someone whenever he encountered something?
Besides, I did that thing so secretly that it was impossible to trace it back to me. Would Shen Xiu just call all the leaders over based on his own guess?
Oh, it really is the saying 'money can do whatever you want', disgusting!
When Ling Yuanzhen thought of this, his panicked heart calmed down. He pretended that he had not guessed anything, looked at everyone blankly, and refused to admit it: "Excuse me, what happened?"
The counselor sent the downloaded PPT to Ling Yuanzhen: "I sent it to you, take a look at it yourself."
It is more convenient to communicate between classes using QQ. As the counselor of the Chinese Department, every student in the Chinese Department has added my account.
Ling Yuanzhen wondered what the hell was going on and opened the chat interface in confusion.
When I saw a PPT file, I clicked on it.
The instructor asked him to watch, and Ling Yuanzhen didn't dare to disobey in front of so many leaders. He planned to watch carefully to see what tricks Shen Xiu was playing.
After reading the first PPT, Ling Yuanzhen's face changed.
Now, without anyone forcing him to watch, Ling Yuanzhen himself clicked on the next PPT page with trembling fingers...
Five minutes later, the counselor saw that Ling Yuanzhen had finished reading, so he said, "Student Ling, you owe Student Shen an apology."
Thinking of the evidence he had just seen, Ling Yuanzhen swallowed hard. His head was buzzing as if there were bees buzzing in his brain, and he didn't know how to start.
He never expected that Shen Xiu didn't even think about checking the owner of the account's registration number, but directly started with him who was fully armed, and went to the Internet cafe to restore all the Internet records and data he had deleted.
It also starts with the assignments he had previously shot and the various photos he posted on social platforms.
The hat he wore when he went to the black Internet cafe, the clothes and shoes he wore, the rings on his hands, the movements he made when he typed on the keyboard, even the scars and tattoos on his hands, the earrings, even his height and weight, the movements he made when he walked, etc...
After comparing the screenshots one by one and analyzing the language, one can tell at a glance that the person who was posting false rumors in the Internet cafe at that time was indeed Ling Yuanzhen.
Ling Yuanzhen never imagined that the homework he once filmed would become the straw that broke the camel's back and the nail that nailed him in the coffin.
No, which normal person would think of this?
Shen Xiu is simply insane!
The counselor saw Ling Yuanzhen remained silent, and when he saw the leaders frowning, he spoke again in a serious voice: "Student Ling?"
Ling Yuanzhen was yelled at and stood up straight, his eyes fixed on the floor. Faced with such strong evidence, he had no idea how to react. He could only do as the counselor said and apologize.
"S-Sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Shen Xiu: “?”
When apologizing, the right person was the counselor. Does Ling Yuanzhen know who he is sorry to?
Wait...So, the counselor asked me to come to school, and so many leaders came together, just to make Ling Yuanzhen apologize to me? ! Instead of the mediation he had thought of before!
The angry Shen Xiu realized belatedly why he was called to school.
Finally understanding, Shen Xiu couldn't help but secretly glance at the school leaders, feeling guilty for his previous 'malicious' speculation.
Sure enough, there are still many good people in this world!
He didn't even think about asking Ling Yuanzhen for an apology. He only wanted to find the person who spread the rumor and prove that someone really spread the rumor and that he was not making up stories, so as to clear his name.
but--
Chen Xiu thought that Ling Yuanzhen apologized to the wrong person face to face, and was obviously just perfunctory and insincere, which let down the school leaders and his grievances. He also thought that he couldn't sleep because Ling Yuanzhen slandered him for "hit-and-run", but Ling Yuanzhen slept so soundly, which made him even more unhappy.
Chen Xiu stared at Ling Yuanzhen with a dark gaze, asking a soul-searching question: "Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
You can even apologize to the wrong person and say something directly, which makes me angry!
School leaders: “…”
counselor:"......"
When Ling Yuanzhen spread rumors before, what did the Internet say about Shen Xiu?
It also seemed to be saying to Chen Xiu, "How can you sleep after a hit-and-run?" and questioning Chen Xiu, "Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
As expected, Chen Xiu was very vindictive, and he kept in mind all the bad reviews that resulted from the rumor-mongering incident, just to "repay" Ling Yuanzhen at this moment.
Boomerang, the dart is deadly!
Hearing Shen Xiu's words, Ling Yuanzhen, who was hanging his head, frowned: "?"
He had apologized in front of so many school leaders, but Shen Xiu still embarrassed himself? What else should we do to him?
Not seeing Ling Yuanzhen come up to him and sincerely apologize to him, Shen Xiu was even more unhappy, and said faintly: "I understand."
Sure enough, just as he thought, Ling Yuanzhen had no intention of sincerely apologizing to him!
Since it was an insincere apology, he didn't want it anymore.
Counselor: ...What did you understand?
School leaders and counselors have the same doubts.
The next moment, Shen Xiu’s cold voice rang out in the dormitory.
Shen Xiu organized his words in his mind and said, "Thank you for your kindness, leaders and teachers. I don't need his apology."
Chen Xiu's cold words were automatically translated into "no reconciliation" in the ears of the leaders!
School leaders: “…”
kindness? The "good intentions" mentioned by Shen Xiu were probably put in quotation marks.
Sure enough, Chen Xiu knew the purpose of their visit early on. After Ling Yuanzhen apologized, he ruthlessly rejected Ling Yuanzhen's apology and implied their "good intentions" to suppress the matter.
They knew that Shen Xiu occasionally had a sense of dry humor, but this was the first time they knew that Shen Xiu could also say something with deep meaning in a cold and meaningful way.
Chen Xiu coldly and unconditionally rejected Ling Yuanzhen's apology, directly blocking the words of "mediation".
counselor:"!"
He is indeed the fearless devil and poisonous-tongued cultivator!
He has been a counselor at Jinghe for so long, but this is the first time he has seen a student dare to speak in a sarcastic manner in front of so many leaders, without giving any face at all. What a boast!
Jiang Jinya saw the changes in the expressions of her colleagues after Shen Xiu finished speaking, and said, “I think you are now clear about Shen Xiu’s attitude. It’s time to make a decision.”
Jiang Jinya finished speaking and looked at Shen Xiu: "Shen Xiu, what do you think?"
After Shen Xiu finished speaking, he was touched to see that only his mentor paid attention to him.
After the teacher finished speaking, no one spoke. In order to avoid the teacher being embarrassed like himself because no one responded, when Shen Xiu heard the teacher's second question to him, he quickly spoke: "Teacher, you are right."
He appreciated the leaders' good intentions, but they should leave quickly. He felt upset when he saw Ling Yuanzhen.
counselor:"!"
This is amazing! It’s the first time he has seen students forcing leaders to make a punishment decision as soon as possible. He has never seen such a thing before!
What’s the difference between this and putting leaders on the fire?
good evening!
