Chapter 62: The Unconventional Bird Emerges (Part 2)

  Shu Tongtong still had an air of righteousness, saying: "Lin Lilili, don't talk nonsense like a madman, okay? You say I used you, how did I use you? Everyone knows that my relationship with you is ordinary. Now you're acting like this just because you think your cold was transmitted by me and you're not happy about it, right? The teacher talked to you, your parents scolded you, but can't put all these on my head, can you? Framing someone for revenge isn't done like this. I've had enough of talking nonsense with you, I'm going home now. If you have evidence, bring it out, otherwise I'll tell the teacher." Shu Tongtong was about to walk away.

  Lin Lilai grabbed Shu Tongtong and said, "You really dare to provoke me. You think you're flawless, but the truth is, if you want to keep something secret, you'd better not do it in the first place. Who was it that framed Nan Xixi during the Red Flag incident? Many people suspected it was me behind their backs, and I knew it too, but I didn't say anything because I'm confident in my own innocence. But what about you? You were caught red-handed by both me and Luo Yuting when you were sneaking around. You thought you could get away with it, but the reason I covered for you was that I wanted to see Nan Xixi suffer too.

  And don't forget during summer camp when you saw how jealous I was of Wu Hanwen being nice to Nan Xixi, so you came up to me and said we were on the same side. It wasn't your idea to let Nan Xixi's car tire go flat? Wasn't it you who told me to call everyone and tell them not to give me homework, except for Nan Xixi? And didn't you tell me that chickenpox is highly contagious? Well, guess what? Nan Xixi really did get infected. You even went to visit her with a fake smile on your face. I'm impressed by how well you can pretend.

  I saw how happy you were playing with Wu Hanwen and the others, while I was being ostracized. What's the reason for that? If this wasn't the final straw, I might have endured it until graduation. Now that I've said everything, go ahead and try to refute each point one by one. I want to see who else in our class dares to be friends with a fake like you."

  Lin Lili spoke with great relish, her expression very excited, and some of her classmates who were quite perceptive could tell that she wasn't making it up. Naturally, they started criticizing Shu Tiantian, saying this and that about her, even Luo Yuting, who was usually close to her, said she had gone too far. Xiao Xiao heard half of it before she was about to explode in anger and defend her, but I managed to hold her back, so she didn't say anything. They listened until Lin Lili finished spilling all the gossip.

  Lily finished speaking, and Xiao Xiao angrily said: "Shu Tengteng, you are simply heartless! We have nothing to say to you. Why did you treat her like this? Is it just because Wu Hanwen is good to her, she's smarter than you, and has better grades than you? Your jealousy is too strong! It's as if your conscience has been eaten by a dog. Have you forgotten that during the last summer camp when you got lost and twisted your ankle, who helped you all the way back? Who usually helps you with homework questions you don't know?..."

  Shu Tongtong could no longer bear it, and rushed towards Lin Lilili, crying: "You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense, I'm a good student, I'm a good student, you have no evidence."

  Shu Tengteng and Lin Lilili were pulling each other's hair and clothes, some classmates went to pull Lin Lilili but not Shu Tengteng. I walked over and asked Xiao Xiao to help me pull away Shu Tengteng. At first, Xiao Xiao was unwilling, so I said: "Xiao Xiao, family shame can't be exposed outside, it's enough that people in our class know about this, do you want to make a joke for other classes?"

  Actually, I'm not a fool. Before this, I always felt that Shu Tengteng and the Shu Tengteng from my past life were different, but I couldn't quite put my finger on how they were different - it was just a woman's sixth sense, I suppose. So I didn't completely open up to her, which is why I'm not feeling too heartbroken now. It just feels like I've been betrayed.

  "After we pulled Shu Tengteng aside, I calmly said: 'Shu Tengteng, people do things and heaven watches. As for you, I don't want to say anything, I can only say that I have been kind and righteous towards you. Tomorrow, I will ask the teacher to change our seats, and I won't spread this matter around. As for what other classmates say, I have nothing to do with it, you take care of yourself.'"

  Shu Tengteng suddenly sat on the ground, crying loudly and saying: "Nan Xiuxiu, I hate you! I did something bad to you, but you're not even angry. You don't consider me a good friend like Wang Xiaoxiao or Hou Jingya. My family is not as well off as theirs, so you look down on me. And another thing, I liked Wu Hanwen, and I still do! He lives in the house across from mine on that street where all the officials' kids live. There are a lot of little bullies there who often pick on us kids from this side of the street. But he's not like those bullies - he's always so polite and smiling, with good grades and manners. He doesn't discriminate against me. When I was being bullied by those kids when I was younger, he even gave me a handkerchief! That's why I transferred to Yangguang Elementary School. But... but he doesn't remember that little girl who got bullied anymore. All he sees is you, all he thinks about is you! You're so good with all the boys in our class, what would it matter if Wu Hanwen wasn't around? Most importantly, you and Xuan Yuanrui have such a great rapport - why do you still need to mess with Wu Hanwen? He only allows you to be close to him, calling him 'shaobing'. What's wrong with me? I want to be friends with you, I want to get closer to him, but he always avoids me. Last time your bike tire was deflated, he even went to warn Lin Lili without any evidence!" Shu Tengteng spoke incoherently, and finally stood up, rushing over to me and grabbing my arm: "Fine! Fine! I admit it now - everything Lin Lili said is true. Nan Xiuxiu, what are you going to do with me? What's wrong with me compared to you?"

  As I watched Shu Tengteng's grip on me tighten, I felt uncomfortable and wanted to break free. Just then, Wu Hanwen, who had already left the classroom, rushed in from outside and said, "Shu Tengteng, let go of Xiao Xiao! If there's something going on, we can talk about it openly." Shu Tengteng looked at Wu Hanwen and burst into tears, saying nothing more. Even I, a slow-witted person, realized that Shu Tengteng was acting this way because of Wu Hanwen, and Wu Hanwen seemed to have a different attitude towards me. However, these were the days before the junior high school entrance exams, not suitable for any heart-to-hearts. I thought that after the exams, I really should handle things properly.

  The news spread like the wind across the campus, with some students even describing it in vivid detail. However, apart from a few classmates, most students only knew that something had happened but didn't know which girl was involved. The teachers also investigated and talked to relevant students about the incident.

  I sat separately from Shu Tengteng, and she naturally became a loner because no one wanted to sit with her after what happened. Since the exam is coming up in about half a month, the teacher just had a talk with Shu Tengteng and didn't criticize her too harshly. However, our class director is notorious for being ruthless when it comes to settling scores. This incident came suddenly, and the class director repeatedly emphasized that we should still focus on studying. Ah, what an unexpected turn of events! I'm getting caught in the crossfire even though I'm just lying down - this must be the special treatment of being reborn. My sharp edges are too exposed, and I'm envied. It seems like I need to learn how to hide my light under a bushel. Okay, not that I'm saying it out loud, but deep down, I'm still a bit smug about being envied - after all, being envied is better than being ignored, hehe.
