Quan Sicheng watched his classmate’s earnest expression, and his heart skipped a beat.
"What do you an? Do you suspect Qingqing?"
The classmate t his questioning eyes and nodded.
"You don’t need to remind you how much animosity there is between them, right?"
Speaking of this, the classmate let out a sigh, "Under such circumstances, how could Shi Yiqing resist the urge to cause trouble?"
Quan Sicheng pursed his lips, his complexion unreadable, "Don’t talk nonsense, Qingqing isn’t that kind of person."
"Whether she’s that kind of person isn’t up to you to decide."
The classmate shrugged, "Who knows? You’ve been together so long, yet you don’t even know her temperant."
"How is that possible?"
Quan Sicheng insisted on denying the possibility.
Seeing his reaction, the classmate could only say, "You can’t wake up soone who’s pretending to be asleep."
"If you keep saying it’s impossible, there’s nothing I can do about it, whatever."
Just as Quan Sicheng was about to explain sothing, he was interrupted by his classmate, "We’ve got an exam coming up, let’s go in."
After saying that, he took the lead into the examination hall.
Because of his classmate’s words, Quan Sicheng’s mood beca complicated.
...
Shi Yaoguang, on the other hand, was completely unaffected, taking the exam as normal. She might have been the most at ease of everyone there.
Compared to everyone else’s high tension, she was so calm it was almost bizarre.
Even the invigilating teachers couldn’t help but feel like this was not a college entrance examination, but rather a leisurely outing.
The morning exam session ended quickly.
Shi Yaoguang was one of the first to leave the examination hall.
When she ca out, in addition to the parents waiting for their children, there was a group of journalists with their caras and microphones.
As it happened, these journalists should have arrived earlier in the morning but were drawn away by a famous top examinee from a neighboring school.
Now, they had all gathered to cover the news about this examinee.
As a result, they missed the thrilling scene of Shi Yaoguang battling with a motorbike that morning.
Later on, a shrewd journalist got video footage from the parents at the scene.
Posting such a dramatic video online certainly attracted a lot of attention.
Now seeing her as the first one to walk out of the examination hall, her composure so apparent, the journalists sward to her like cats that had slled fish and rushed over imdiately.
"Shi, do you realize you’re the first to leave the examination hall?"
"Shi, you seem so nonchalant; is it because you’re confident? I heard your attendance for the second sester exams at Ruihe High School is 740, is that true?"
"Shi, do you think you will be this year’s top scorer in the college entrance exam?"
"..."
A group of people, aside from asking about studies, had so gossipy questions.
The gossip naturally involved the video that went viral overnight and the dramatic incident this morning where Shi Yaoguang almost got hit by a motorbike.
The spectators, upon hearing the journalists, also wore excited and curious expressions.
They also wanted to know, what exactly was going on.
"Shi, is the content of the video leaked online true? Have you been bullying your classmates for a long ti, and if so, what motivates such behavior? Or do you maintain your excellent grades through the thrill of humiliating others?"
The journalist’s question was highly provocative.
Whether inford or not, anyone listening might start to feel so distaste and wariness towards Shi Yaoguang.
Shi Yaoguang heard these words, but she slowly curved her lips into a smile.
She revealed a hint of a grin.
"That’s a good question."
Shi Yaoguang said, licking her lips with the tip of her tongue, her eyes dangerously narrowing, a chilling heartbeat evident at the bottom of her eyes, "Since you’re so curious and want to know my private affairs, then I’d really like to know..."
She drew out her words, her slow tone laced with a seductive edge, "Why don’t you let tornt you first? Once I’ve had my fun, you can ask how enjoyable it was for to torture you?"
The reporter, upon hearing this, froze, "Shi Yaoguang, you... you must be joking with ..."
"Joking?" Shi Yaoguang laughed as if she’d heard a funny joke, "What makes you think that this is a joke?"
"Where did I fall short in making you think that what I said was just a joke?"
Yaoguang’s thumb gently brushed across her bright red lips, her half-closed eyes shimring with light, her gaze on the reporter unwavering, "I’m simply trying to clear up your confusion, is there a problem with that?"
"Or perhaps..." Her tone was tinged with a hint of disappointnt, "You’d rather speculate subjectively and not hear out in person?"
The reporter was overawed by her presence, unable to maintain his composure under such a gaze.
He stepped back subconsciously, sohow looking defeated, "I... I didn’t an that..."
"Whether that’s what you ant or not, I do not know, but one thing I’m clear about."
Shi Yaoguang spoke calmly, her gaze growing distant.
The reporter, watching her, grew increasingly fearful.
Honestly speaking, he had engaged in dubious acts to expose scoops before.
Not all were disreputable, but at least three or four out of ten were outright distortions.
It wasn’t that he was an-hearted and wished to bring people down.
It was simply the rules of the industry.
If one didn’t want to be eliminated, they had to comply with these rules.
He had no choice...
Right!
He had no choice!
In a mont, the reporter felt the sting of his conscience.
Then quickly, he found excuses to absolve himself in his mind.
Life isn’t easy for an adult.
He was just trying to make things a bit easier for himself.
What’s wrong with that?
The reporter thought and began to feel more justified.
Looking at Shi Yaoguang, he found so resolve.
As long as he wasn’t weak, others would be.
Yaoguang observed the shift in his deanor clearly.
Those who understood, understood, and anyone familiar with the industry knew there must be untold stories behind the term "school bullying."
Whether it was the reason for the bullying or if this was just a stunt.
But it seed they had no interest in delving deeper.
Ard only with a few videos, they ca with caras and pens, posing as defenders of justice, without caring for the truth behind the incident.
Regardless of the facts, the reporters did not investigate the story behind the incident.
If there was a twist later on, they could always say...
It was just a lack of thorough investigation on their part.
Or perhaps, they were simply misled.
They were willing to apologize and accept public condemnation.
Of course, there was an unspoken line at the end.
— We’re willing to apologize, but we absolutely won’t change!
"According to our investigation, Shi Yaoguang, the girl you’re bullying in the video, is the sa girl who previously usurped your identity in the Shi Family."
"Recently, the affair of the Shi Family’s true and false heiresses has made quite the stir. I want to know if you’ve been bullying her because she took your identity?"
