Chapter 102: The Storm Gradually Subsides 2

  Is it still better to have the seasonal wind? That time he scolded Mu Yuemei, he was like a medieval knight riding against the sunlight, first elegant and refined, then speaking with determination as if in a duel. Heh, thinking about it now, but I always feel that his figure is appearing more and more frequently in my mind, just like someone else is gradually disappearing from my line of sight.

  As I watched the students coming and going on the road, I quickened my pace, after all, this book in my hand should be returned, otherwise, the librarian aunt would deduct my money again, and she would also nag endlessly. However, I was in a good mood, so even if I got scolded, I could just lower my head and pretend to admit my mistake, after all, the aunts were still sharp-tongued but soft-hearted.

  Who is the fastest person in this world? None other than Cao Cao. As soon as I thought of Cao Qiang and Dai Junyi, I saw these two people standing under the willow tree next to the library, waving at me. It turns out that these two people were not satisfied with what others said behind their backs, so they waited for me in front of the library door. They shouldn't have known that there aren't many students coming to the library after lunch.

  I glared at them, shook my head, and pointed to the willow tree path opposite the library's lotus pond. They nodded in agreement. When we arrived at the willow tree path, I found a place to sit down and quietly listened to what they wanted to talk about. It wasn't that I wasn't worried someone would come over; mainly because this was a relatively secluded path, generally not many people came here, and it was considered by senior high school students as the best place for romantic conversations. Even if someone did come, they would probably just be unfamiliar faces, and besides, who would come at noon?

  Dai Junyi saw me sitting there leisurely and said with a smile: "Cao Qiang, I told you, Nan Xiao is not an ordinary girl. Does she look like someone who has been hit? As soon as you hear people in school say that she's two-timing, the anxious look on your face is really something."

  Dai Junyi had an air of nonchalance, but when he looked at Cao Qiang again, it seemed that the latter was a bit flustered. He also appeared to be hesitant to speak. I had never seen Cao Qiang so unsettled before. With a chuckle, she said: "Cao Qiang, don't mind too much, I'm not even bothered as a girl. You can rest assured." Dai Junyi cut in and said: "Nan Xixi, our time is also precious, your time is priceless. This young master has booked your speaking time for the afternoon. Can't we settle the bill after it's over? As for what you said about Cao Qiang being concerned, isn't he worried that you'll be too bothered and won't care about him?"

  "I'm not petty like that, Cao Qiang, don't worry about it. I know this thing can't be blamed on you either. It's all because I underestimated these junior high school students, their ability to talk nonsense is too strong."

  Cao Qiang's face relaxed a lot. He said, "You're not blaming me, and you don't mind, that's good. But what's with this group of junior high school students? We're all junior high school students, it sounds like you're an adult or something. Anyway, when I first heard about this, my initial reaction was 'oh no', I was afraid you'd be criticized, and I wanted to go find you directly. Ai Yi insisted on waiting a while, saying that would only add fuel to the fire, letting others spread it even more, maybe after a few days it would blow over. Who knew he miscalculated, and it's been half a month already? Because of this, I even got into an argument with him. Later, I privately investigated with Ai Yi, and we've found the person responsible through our efforts. In a few more days, this matter will definitely be resolved perfectly. I heard you have exams coming up on National Day, so study hard and don't get distracted by this."

  As soon as I heard that the culprit had been found, I naturally wanted to know who it was. I thought to myself that I hadn't offended anyone since coming to this school, and even those few girls in our class who didn't like me wouldn't go so far as to do something like this. I asked: "Cao Qiang, who is the person who framed me? I want to see what deep hatred they have for me that makes them treat me like this."

  Cao Qiang was about to speak when he was interrupted by Dai Junyi, who smiled sycophantically and said: "Hey, we don't have any clear evidence yet, so you don't need to know. I promise it won't happen again in the future. As the saying goes, 'it's better to resolve grievances than to create new ones.' Our clever and lovely Princess Nan Xixi shouldn't bother with that person anymore."

  I took one look at Dai Junyi and knew there was a problem. You see, the first time I met him, he was really cold as ice. Even later when he found out that Cao Qiang and I were childhood friends, he only spoke to me in a gentle tone, without any intention of currying favor or treating me differently. But today, he suddenly praised me? There's something wrong, definitely something wrong! I gritted my teeth and said: "The person who framed me must have eaten too much and had nothing better to do. If I find out who it is, I'll make sure to give them a taste of their own medicine, let them know that Nan Xiangxiang isn't someone to be trifled with. You think I'm just a cute kitty? Dai Junyi, you said it's not confirmed yet, right? When it is confirmed, you have to tell me, okay? Cao Qiang knows my personality, and this thing has exposed the three of us time and time again. Let me tell you, my classic motto is: 'If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. If they do offend me, I'll give them some leeway. But if they keep offending me, I'll fight back with all my might. And if they still dare to offend me, I'll eliminate them completely.'"

  I only saw Dai Junyi's face change again and again, probably because he didn't expect a junior high school girl like me to say such harsh words. It seems that the person who framed me must know Dai Junyi, and they might even have some kind of relationship. That's why Dai Junyi couldn't speak out, due to this relationship. Moreover, looking at all the rumors surrounding this incident and Dai Junyi's helpless expression, it's probably a girl who did this. The world is really messed up now, junior high school students are already fighting over boys, I was 23 years old before I even had my first romance, not even a puppy love.

  I didn't ask anything else, just said: "Since that's the case, Dai Junyi, you must ensure that this matter is handled beautifully, otherwise I will investigate to the end. Cao Qiang, it seems that we are both lying down and being shot at, we are the real victims, it seems that we can only let go of our worries. I'll leave first."

  I had only taken two or three steps when I turned back and said, "Dai Junyi, this thing must have been done by your supporter, Dai Daboyi, and he's also a familiar person to you, right? You'd better compensate me and Cao Qiang!" After finishing speaking, I made a ghostly face at him and then ran away quickly.

  Only Dai Junyi and Cao Qiang were left, Dai Junyi helplessly said to Cao Qiang: "Brother, this Nan Xiuxiu is really a girl with a changeable personality, can't see through what kind of girl she is, I guess your road is long and far away, add oil oh, let's go back to the classroom."

  Cao Qiang smiled and gave Dai Junyi a light punch, saying: "You're still talking nonsense, coming up with some ridiculous idea that I should use my plan to rescue the beauty, but she's not even affected. And your Li Xinxin, can't you let her be at ease for once? This is such a big deal, and you're still jealous to this extent, actually slandering others like this. You always indulge her in bullying those suitors of yours, truly deep feelings indeed."

  Cao Qiang walked forward, and Dai Junyi caught up with him, saying: "Brother, you're wrong about this. What's with my Li Xinxin? I've made it clear multiple times that there's nothing between me and Li Xinxin, we're just from families that have known each other for generations. Even if my parents had any ideas, I wouldn't agree to it. This kind of arrogant girl, I'm not interested in pairing up with her at all. As for why I never restrained her from bullying those girls, it's not because I like her, but because those girls are also silly and I don't bother dealing with them. Since someone has taken care of it for me, I couldn't be more grateful."

  "You think it's easy, but I've heard what people in our class say about you and Li Xinxin. They're like two old friends who are meant to be together. You're like an iceberg, she's like a flame - either you'll extinguish her or she'll melt you. Everyone is waiting to see the show. And deep down, you still want to protect her, otherwise why didn't you tell Xixi her name? Honestly, even if you had told Xixi Li Xinxin's name, Xixi wouldn't have done anything to her. The things Xixi said earlier were just to tease you - it's a waste that you're usually so clever, but now you've become stupid..."

  Dai Junyi wanted to quibble, but Cao Qiang didn't bother with him. After all, time was the most powerful standard to test everything.

  On the other hand, Ji Feng Yuan had also done some investigation due to his cousin's repeated reminders. As the class monitor, he often went in and out of the teacher's office and heard that the head teacher meant to deal with Nan Xiangxiang. By chance, he overheard the head teacher say that it seemed like Li Director's daughter was involved in buying off a group of young girls, so they had to handle it more skillfully, otherwise it would be difficult for everyone inside and out, being a head teacher wasn't easy either.

  Ji Feng suddenly heard that it was Director Li's daughter who did it, and quickly thought of what his cousin had told him a few days ago about Mu Yuemei having a younger sister named Li Xinxin. It seemed likely to be true, and after investigating and verifying it himself, he would soon come to a conclusion.

  It turns out that someone has been protecting him, no wonder he has been investigating for days and can only find that many girls chatting caused the matter to expand, but couldn't find the mastermind behind it. I thought the mastermind was too clever and too cunning, now everything is clear.

  Rumors spread that the person who was playing with fire and had a foot in two boats was Li Xinxin, who liked Dai Junyi. All the girls who had shown interest in Dai Junyi before were retaliated against by her.
