Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 26 [It's alright, I'll help you solve it.]

There were whispers among the students in Class 7.

"Holy crap, I never knew Jiang Tianyao was this kind of person. She said she wouldn't bully my sister, but she was the one who was manipulating public opinion and cyberbullying her sister."

"You're such a green tea bitch, only you didn't realize it."

"The beautiful woman who just came in is the adopted daughter of the Jiang family, right? I heard her say she doesn't like Gu Chenyi..."

"Of course! Her deskmate is Chi Yan now, how could she possibly be interested in Gu Chenyi? Only Jiang Tianyao treats her fiancé like a treasure and even fantasizes about someone stealing her husband. Who cares?"

"Don't say that. Actually, quite a few girls have a crush on Gu Chenyi, hahaha."

……

How could this happen? How could a perfectly good anonymous forum suddenly require real-name registration?

With trembling hands, Jiang Tianyao deleted the "Gossip" post.

She always prioritizes her image, maintaining perfect makeup and elegant demeanor at all times. She has a great reputation and has been voted the school beauty, the goddess of countless boys on campus.

But now——

She posted something anonymously, but was ridiculed by countless people. Jiang Tianyao finally lost control of her emotions and burst into tears, burying her face in her hands on the table.

This time, however, none of her girlfriends came to comfort her.

Some people in the classroom saw her crying, but they only glanced at her indifferently, lowered their gossiping voices, and gave her plenty of face.

As Jiang Tianyao cried, she silently counted the time in her mind. Her heart sank completely when no one comforted her. She opened WeChat and found that no one was there to comfort her either.

Finally, she got up, went outside the classroom, and made a phone call.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Youran, Shi Sui entered the classroom.

With class about to start, Shi Sui checked her phone to see if it was on silent mode and noticed that WeChat was flashing with unread messages.

Xu Chaomu: [It's okay, I'll help you solve it.]

The time was eighteen minutes ago. Shi Sui remembered that she had just gone downstairs to find Jiang Tianyao at that time and did not notice the phone shaking, so she did not see the message.

Then, not long after, the forum crashed, and anonymity became real-name registration.

"It's okay, I'll help you."

Shi Sui silently repeated it to herself, and then she suddenly realized—

How could a forum suddenly require users to register with their real names?

Xiao Youran said that the forum system is as solid as a copper wall and iron wall, and has never collapsed since it was established.

Why did this bug happen right when she was being cyberbullied? Could it really be such a coincidence?

No, it was sabotage done intentionally.

Shi Sui felt a warm and sweet feeling. She never thought that anyone would help her. When she stood in the classroom of Class 7, unable to argue with Jiang Tianyao and her friends, all she could think about was fighting. She thought that if they slapped each of them, they would behave. If they still didn't behave, she would slap them twice more.

It turns out there are better solutions than fighting.

It turns out there are people who will help her.

Xu Chaomu is truly an incredibly kind and generous person. Shi Sui immediately replied to him: [Thank you. I'm sorry I just saw this message. I know it was you who made me register my real name on the forum. Without you, I would definitely be cyberbullied to death (exaggeration).]

Soon, a message came from the other end: [It's good that you're okay. Don't pay attention to those rumors online. They're all illogical and unreasonable lunatics who enjoy insulting others.]

Shi Sui smiled faintly and replied, "[Yes, of course it's okay. I don't care what others think of me. Now that the forum uses real names, everyone knows the poster is Jiang Tianyao, and they're all attacking her.]"

Xu Chaomu: [Yes, I saw it. Jiang Tianyao deserves it.]

The autumn sky was clear and the sunlight was bright. The boy wore a blue and white school uniform jacket and black pants. His fair skin was bathed in a soft, warm glow from the bright sunlight.

Xu Chaomu walked out of the multimedia building, holding a mobile phone in her hand, the screen displaying a WeChat chat interface.

Silent protection won't work; you should speak up when you do good deeds.

The third period of the Evergreen Class was a self-study period, and many people were discussing the hot posts on the forum. He never cared about these things, but he overheard Shi Sui's name by chance.

So he immediately logged onto the forum and saw a screen full of mockery and insults.

Those with low moral character, flawed personality, unhappy lives, jealousy, and resentment... all put on anonymous aliases, projecting their inner filth onto the internet, attacking others with the most vicious words without distinguishing right from wrong.

Because they dare not do so in real life, they act recklessly online.

Xu Chaomu left the classroom with a cold face and without saying a word, heading to the multimedia hacking forum anonymously.

At first, he just wanted to see who was behind those anonymous people, and then decide how to deal with them.

Interestingly, behind the anonymity is none other than Shi Sui's nominal younger sister, Jiang Tianyao.

Then countless new posts appeared, titled "Exposing Jiang Tianyao's True Colors," and public opinion quickly shifted, turning the cyberbullies into victims of cyberbullying.

Things are going more smoothly than I expected.

Xu Chaomu also discovered that Shi Sui never defended herself in those anonymous posts.

It's even more heartbreaking.

As soon as the bell rang for the last class of the morning, Shi Sui dashed out of the classroom, her mind preoccupied with thanking Xu Chaomu, unable to stay in the classroom for even a second longer.

Since it was a thank you gift, Shi Sui went to a French dessert shop near the cafeteria first. There were no students yet after class, and she was the first to enter the shop. Without choosing, she bought the most expensive one.

I hesitated for a moment when paying, then bought another one.

She carefully protected the dessert, climbed the stairs quickly and steadily, and soon reached the rooftop.

As soon as she opened the small door to the rooftop, a gentle breeze blew her bangs aside and also stirred the hem of her school uniform. Shi Sui immediately spotted the boy not far away, quietly eating lunch, his movements elegant and gentle, as beautiful as a painting.

"Xu Chaomu!"

Xu Chaomu looked over and saw the girl running towards her, holding a beautifully wrapped little gift box in her arms. Her face was beaming with a bright and radiant smile, like a little sun, and her voice was unusually cheerful.

His heart was pounding.

In order to see Xu Chaomu as soon as possible, Shi Sui ran without stopping. She was panting a little, so she stood up straight and took two deep breaths to calm herself down.

"Xu Chaomu." She called softly again, handing over the well-preserved dessert. "Here, thank you for helping me on the forum today."

It's a pure white, textured, round gift box with a subtle pattern, tied with a pretty pink bow, and a small tag below the bow.

Xu Chaomu recognized the tag; it belonged to a famous dessert shop on campus. He had received cakes from this shop before, but he had thrown them away.

Shi Sui forcefully shoved the dessert into his hand, saying, "Open it quickly, open it and take a look."

"I don't know if you like desserts, but the desserts at this shop are absolutely delicious," Shi Sui said. "I also don't know what kind of gift you like, so I can only give you something I like. You don't mind, do you?"

He didn't mind at all; he was practically ecstatic.

The bow wasn't tied tightly; it came undone with a pull. Inside the lid was a creamy mousse cake, teardrop-shaped, with vanilla Chantilly cream at the bottom and a tempered white chocolate slab on top.

It's the signature dish of this French patisserie: Tahitian vanilla mousse.

Xu Chaomu took out the dessert, noticing that it was still chilled from being taken out of the freezer. She paused for a moment, then asked, "Shi Sui, did you just buy this?"

"Mmm." Shi Sui stared intently at the dessert. "Try it, try it."

Her eyes were glued to the screen because she was really craving it.

Xu Chaomu saw through her thoughts, smiled slightly, picked up his fork, took a bite, and put it in his mouth under the girl's bright, sparkling eyes.

"Is it delicious? Is it delicious?" Shi Sui asked impatiently.

"So sweet." He looked at her, unsure whether he was referring to the dessert or the person.

"Huh? Is it too sweet?" Shi Sui had seen online that the highest praise for desserts was "This dessert is delicious and not sweet". So, does "too sweet" mean "unpalatable"?

Xu Chaomu noticed her expression suddenly fall and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"I thought the most expensive one would be the best-tasting," Shi Sui said dejectedly. "It even said it had nine layers of texture, so I thought it would be delicious."

"It's delicious." Xu Chaomu paused for a moment, then said, "It's very delicious, I like it very much."

"Really? Really? Don't lie to me."

"I'm not lying to you." Xu Chaomu looked at her sparkling eyes, quickly scooped up another spoonful with his fork, and put it into her mouth when she wasn't looking. "Try it if you don't believe me."

Shi Sui's lips were slightly parted when she was suddenly stuffed with a piece of cake.

This is the fork that Xu Chaomu tried.

The overly intimate gesture caused her eyes to widen, momentarily losing her ability to think, and then her cheeks flushed bright red.

Xu Chaomu looked at her and slowly pulled the fork back from her mouth. She was so cute that he couldn't help but chuckle.

Shi Sui lowered her head to compose herself, then looked up and glared at him: "Are you kidding me?"

Xu Chaomu didn't say anything, she just smiled and looked at her.

After being stared at for two seconds, Shi Sui thought there was something on her face, so she wiped her face with her hand and said, "Stop teasing me, hurry up and eat your dessert."

After a while, she asked again, "This dessert is so small, you should be able to finish it, right?"
