Dedicated to studying, yet forced into a chaotic situation.

Chapter 24 His deskmate, pretty and well-behaved, could only hide and cry when bullied.

Classroom of Grade 11, Class 7.

The posts on the campus forum continued to spread online. Although the focus of the discussion was Chi Yan and Shi Sui, because no one dared to ask Chi Yan and Shi Sui rarely left the classroom, most of the onlookers went to Class 7 of the second year of high school to hear what Jiang Tianyao, the "real" daughter of the Jiang family, had to say.

"You guys should delete this post as soon as possible," Jiang Tianyao said, feeling wronged. "My sister will definitely blame me if she finds out, and I don't want things to get so awkward between us."

"Sweetie, you're still defending her even now? She's the one who's trying to steal your fiancé!"

"No way, I'm going to teach that scheming bitch a lesson for you!"

"Those country bumpkins have never seen a handsome guy before. They pounce on any handsome guy they see. Don't they have any shame?"

……

Jiang Tianyao looked pitiful, desperately suppressing a smile, and hesitated to speak.

However, at that moment, a clear voice pierced through the crowd and came from the back door of the classroom: "Jiang Tianyao, come out, I have something to say to you."

The sound was pleasant, cool and murmuring, like an icy spring in winter, making one feel cold all over.

Everyone looked over and saw a face that was both strange and familiar.

The reason they feel unfamiliar is that most people are seeing Shi Sui for the first time.

They were familiar with her because they had all seen her photos on the forum.

The noisy classroom quieted down considerably in an instant. Strangely, the girls who had just been saying they would stand up for Jiang Tianyao also fell silent.

"Aren't you coming out?" Shi Sui tilted her head slightly and looked at Jiang Tianyao sitting in the classroom.

The girls surrounding Jiang Tianyao tacitly made way for her.

They were just talking about teaching the scheming bitch a lesson, but more than that, they were just watching the show and secretly thought that if Jiang Tianyao was really bullied, it wouldn't be too late for them to stand up for her.

They are all well-mannered young ladies from respectable families; it's impossible for them to rush over and start cursing without saying a word. That would be too unseemly.

Jiang Tianyao felt extremely uncomfortable and asked softly, "What do you want with me?"

"Don't you have any self-awareness?" Shi Sui smiled kindly and walked in through the back door of the classroom.

Jiang Tianyao felt a little guilty. Had Shi Sui discovered something?

Impossible. The campus forum is anonymous. Shi Sui can only suspect her, but there is no evidence!

As she approached step by step, Jiang Tianyao suppressed her panic, fidgeted with the hem of her dress, and tried to calm herself down. She said, "Since you've come to find me, let's talk outside."

"No, I've changed my mind. It's better to say it here. Some things are better said in front of everyone." Shi Sui looked down at her, her face still bearing a warm smile.

But that smile sent chills down Jiang Tianyao's spine.

She thought of the slap that hadn't faded from Gu Chenyi's face.

Jiang Tianyao swallowed hard, feeling a little scared.

“I don’t like Gu Chenyi, and I don’t like you either. Your marriage to Gu Chenyi has nothing to do with me, and I’m not interested in it. My time is precious and I don’t have time to play mind games with you. Please stay away from me.”

Shi Sui paused for a moment, then said calmly, "But if you drag me into this, don't blame me for turning on you and doing things I can't control."

"Also, delete that post on the forum. I don't want to see this kind of online incitement a second time."

Shi Sui moved closer, placed her hand on her shoulder, and said, "I overheard what you said outside. You don't want our relationship to become awkward, do you?"

Jiang Tianyao's heart sank. She forced herself to calm down and put on her usual aggrieved look: "I didn't post that online post. I'm also very anxious. I really want to delete it, but only the poster and the highest-level administrator can delete posts..."

"Really?" Shi Sui interrupted her, staring directly into her eyes, and asked, "Aren't you the one who posted this?"

Staring into those clear eyes, as if they could see right through her, Jiang Tianyao felt flustered, but she still managed to calmly retort, "How could you think of me like that, sister? It was an anonymous post. I only found out about it after someone else told me a long time later..."

At this moment, Jiang Tianyao's sisters finally stepped forward and said, "Don't bully people. Tiantian was just speaking up for you."

"That's right, that's right. Don't frame Tian Tian. She's the victim."

"..."

Shi Sui glanced at them expressionlessly.

If this were in her old high school, she could have slapped these people and they would have behaved.

But not now. These people have powerful connections; she can't afford to offend them.

So frustrating.

Damn it, Shi Sui's eyes reddened with anger, and she finally decided to resolve everything with violence. Her hands, hidden in her sleeves, were already clenched into fists when suddenly someone outside the window shouted, "The campus forum has crashed!"

Everyone was drawn in and opened their phones to access the forum.

The account name suddenly appeared below the random anonymous avatar in each post!

The poster of the "Gossip" post has been identified by her real name as Jiang Tianyao!

Before Jiang Tianyao could even turn on her phone, she suddenly noticed that her girlfriends were looking at her with ambiguous expressions, as if they had a lot to say but couldn't find the words.

She had a bad feeling and her heart was pounding.

"The forum requires real-name registration," someone whispered.

"Now, you can delete the post, right?" Shi Sui's hand was still on Jiang Tianyao's shoulder. She patted it lightly and turned to leave.

Jiang Tianyao couldn't hold back any longer; her face suddenly turned ashen, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She felt a downward force on her shoulder, and it hurt. At the same time, Jiang Tianyao realized something.

The classroom was completely silent.

The sisters who had been speaking up for Jiang Tianyao felt a burning pain on their faces as they watched Shi Sui's departing figure, their minds in complete disarray.

The person who anonymously posted on the forum, "Let's talk about Shi Sui's failed attempt to seduce Gu Chenyi, and her subsequent attempt to seduce Chi Yan," and who guided public opinion, was Jiang Tianyao.

It was Jiang Tianyao who defended Shi Sui, saying in front of them, "My sister is definitely not that kind of person. I don't know who she offended, but they actually said bad things about her online."

Goodness, she's definitely a schizophrenic green tea bitch!

Meanwhile, Chi Yan was contacting Pei Shuoxun, who was the forum's highest-level administrator. Apart from the original poster, only he could delete posts.

However, Pei Shuoxun's phone was switched off and he couldn't get through.

Grass!

Yan Ze had never seen Chi Yan's face so dark before; it was so dark it looked like ink could drip from it.

However, his impression was that Chi Yan's face was dark; Chi Yan's face was still fair, but he exuded a menacing aura, as if he was about to fight someone to the death.

Yan Ze, who was always paying attention to the messages in the various gossip groups, suddenly brightened up: "Brother Chi, I found out that your deskmate seems to have gone downstairs. Someone saw her on the second floor."

"Let's go to the second floor."

Chi Yan slept during class and never browsed forums. He only saw the online posts right after class, which were full of negative comments about his deskmate.

A bunch of psychos.

After Shi Sui left, he saw a post title and chased after her, but he was still a step too late. The girl disappeared too quickly and hid in the blink of an eye.

The online comments are all negative; to that extent, it could be considered cyberbullying.

Chi Yan thought that his deskmate was pretty, quiet, and well-behaved. She usually only knew how to read books in the classroom. If she was bullied, she could only keep it to herself and must have secretly hidden away to cry.

She did nothing wrong, yet she was falsely accused of seducing the man and subjected to such vile insults.

A bunch of idiots.

The elevator had just gone down, and it would probably take some time for it to come back up. Without hesitation, Chi Yan turned around and headed for the stairs.

He took big strides, and Yan Ze almost couldn't keep up. But he didn't dare let the big demon king slow down, because Chi Yan looked really fierce. He thought that as long as he wasn't affected, it would be fine.

Chi Yan had just gone down one flight of stairs when he ran into Shi Sui at the corner.

The girl's slender figure looked incredibly fragile. Her hands were in her pockets, her fair skin was bloodless, and her eyes were slightly red.

It looked like she had been crying. (The above is purely Chi Yan's imagination.)
