Lin Jianxue didn't even frown.
She gently turned sideways, pulled Zhou Mei's hand that was tightly clutching her sleeve, and said softly, "It's okay."
Then, she gently pulled Zhou Mei, who was still angry and worried, behind her and protected her.
After doing all this, she turned around again and looked at Liu Liwen, Wang Hongxia and Zhang Cuicui calmly.
"I did come here with a man yesterday."
“Wow—”
There was an uncontrollable low uproar among the crowd.
Admitted it? She actually admitted it?!
Zhou Mei was also stunned. She hadn't expected Lin Jianxue to admit it so directly. She was so anxious that she almost jumped up. She pulled Lin Jianxue's arm hard and stared at her with wide eyes, her eyes full of anxiety: "Jianxue, you..."
Liu Liwen was like a chicken that had won a battle. She instantly became proud and a arrogant smile appeared on her face.
She turned her head and looked at Zhou Mei:
"Did you hear that? Zhou Mei! She admitted it herself! Didn't you just say you were going to report us to Captain Liang? Go ahead! Do it now! I want to see, when the captain comes, will he deal with us, or will he deal with her, the educated youth who secretly met with a strange man at the educated youth site in the middle of the night!"
"Humph! I think she's going to go against the will of heaven! She's only been here a few days and she's already blatantly ruining the reputation of our educated youth center!"
Zhou Mei's cheeks flushed red, she was angry and anxious, but she didn't know how to refute her. She could only hold Lin Jianxue's hand and look at her worriedly.
Lin Jianxue patted the back of Zhou Mei's hand soothingly, signaling her to stay calm.
"That's because it's dark," she explained slowly. "I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the roads in the village. It was dark when I arrived yesterday, and I was afraid I'd get lost walking alone at night, so I asked someone to give me a ride. He took me to the vicinity of the educated youth station, so I asked him to take me there."
She tilted her head slightly, looked at Liu Liwen, and asked her, "Why, it's dark and the road is slippery, and asking someone to help carry it is not possible?"
"Okay? Okay, bullshit!" Liu Liwen was irritated by her nonchalant attitude. "You say it so easily! Who knows if what you say is true or not? God knows which shady man you've hooked up with outside! Words are not enough! Who can vouch for you?"
"Wild man?" Lin Jianxue softly repeated the word, the curve of her lips deepening with a hint of amusement. "Liu Liwen, you know that guy too. How come it becomes a 'wild man' when it comes out of your mouth?"
Liu Liwen's heart skipped a beat, and she inexplicably had a bad feeling, but she remained firm: "I know him? Who do I know? Lin Jianxue, stop trying to be mysterious!"
Lin Jianxue ignored her shouting and continued slowly:
"I remember, back in high school, maybe high school? Didn't you write him a love letter? It was so heartfelt, it made me blush. But you were too timid to deliver it yourself. You begged me for days, crying and begging, insisting I give it to him for you."
Her eyes swept across Liu Liwen's suddenly stiff face, and her tone was filled with a hint of sarcasm: "What? It's only been a little over a year, and you've completely forgotten me? You don't even recognize who he is?"
!!!
Earth-shattering!
The entire lobby of the educated youth center fell into deathly silence in an instant.
Everyone's gaze, including those educated youth who were just watching the fun, turned in unison as if they were under a spell, to the young man in the corner of the lobby who had been watching coldly from the beginning - Liu Liwen's current boyfriend, Zhang Ruichen!
This "wild man"...was actually the man Liu Liwen had once pursued with a tearful love letter?!
Zhang Ruichen had originally crossed his arms, with a hint of a sneer on his lips, as if he was looking forward to a good show. But at this moment, that smile completely froze on his face.
Focused on by dozens of gazes containing various meanings - shock, sympathy, ridicule - his face turned from white to blue, then from blue to black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally became so gloomy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.
"You! You're talking nonsense!" Liu Liwen finally realized what Lin Jianxue had said. Her face flushed crimson, and her finger, which was pointing at Lin Jianxue, trembled. Her voice became shrill and changed its tone. "Lin Jianxue! You're slandering me! I didn't! I didn't write any love letters! Don't bother slandering me here!"
"How could I have said such nonsense? That love letter," she recalled slowly, "that male classmate returned it to me without even reading it. When I returned it to you, didn't you cry and say you were ashamed and refused to take it, and asked me to help you get rid of it?"
Lin Jianxue tilted her head slightly, pretending to think, and then she let out a soft "ah" as if suddenly realizing something:
"What a coincidence! I didn't seem to have thrown away that letter. When I was packing my things for the trip to the countryside this time, I think... I accidentally brought it with me."
As soon as she said this, Liu Liwen's eyes widened instantly!
Lin Jianxue ignored her horrified expression and continued slowly, in a questioning tone, "How about I go to the dormitory and help you look for it right now? Once I find it, I'll take it out and read it word for word in front of everyone. That'll also prove whether I, Lin Jianxue, am not just talking nonsense and slandering your innocence, Liu Liwen, okay?"
Lin Jianxue spoke seriously with a calm expression.
In fact, she had lost that love letter somewhere long ago.
He said this now just to scare Liu Liwen.
But how could Liu Liwen, who was guilty as a thief, know this?
She only heard Lin Jianxue say "I've brought the letter" and "You have to read it out loud", and she was immediately scared to death!
She knew best what was in that letter! If it were read out in public, how would she continue to live as an educated youth?! And what would Zhang Ruichen think of her?!
"Don't touch it!" Liu Liwen blurted out, her voice sharp and full of panic. "Lin Jianxue! Shut up! Don't touch it!"
