It was early November.
At six o’clock in the morning, it was still dark to walk out of the dormitory building.
With the last darkness before dawn and the cold wind blowing, Yu Xiaoxuan shivered and was finally fully awake.

There weren’t many people on the playground.
Just a few scattered here and there.
Shen Qinglan and Yu Xiaoxuan stretched before the exercise and started their run.

To match Yu Xiaoxuan’s speed, Shen Qinglan slowed herself down.

At first, Yu Xiaoxuan was able to stay shoulder to shoulder with Shen Qinglan, but gradually she fell behind Shen Qinglan.
Then she started breathing heavily and finally her run turned into a walk at a snail’s pace.

Shen Qinglan slowed down to her pace and saw that Yu Xiaoxuan’s face was a little pale.
She finally stopped and said, “Forget it, we’re done for today! Here.”

Yu Xiaoxuan shook her head, “No…no, I said I’d run with you.
I’ll stick to it even if it’s only for two days.”

“You can still run?”

Yu Xiaoxuan just nodded her head.

And thus, the playground was a scene of Yu Xiaoxuan running at a speed which was a fraction faster than a snail, and Shen Qinglan was following her, glancing at her from time to time, just in case she wasn’t paying attention and would end up falling down.

Although slow, Yu Xiaoxuan never stopped.
Her motivation was not Linda, but the words that Shen Qinglan told her – Exercise is for better eating.

The number of people on the playground gradually increased.
At first, Yu Xiaoxuan focused on running without being aware.
But gradually, she noticed that many people were looking at them and whispering to each other but she didn’t know what they were saying.

“Qinglan, have you noticed that many people are looking at us today? Are we particularly beautiful today?” Yu Xiaoxuan said in a serious manner.

Shen Qinglan: …

“Qinglan, didn’t you notice?”

Shen Qinglan replied, “I did.
Let’s run another half a lap and then we’ll go back.”

Not only did she discover the gazes on them, but she also found the hidden malice in those gazes.

Ten minutes later, Yu Xiaoxuan finally finished the last half lap and followed Shen Qinglan towards the cafeteria.

This time the feeling was more obvious.
The people who came in and out of the place set their eyes on them.

“Is that her?” A girl whispered to her companion.

Her companion looked over at them and nodded, “That’s her.
I’ve seen the pictures they sent and it is definitely her.”

The first girl’s look changed and she scowled, “I just didn’t expect to see such an innocent-looking face, but on the inside she’s that kind of person.
They say there’s more than one.”

The companion replied, “There are four of them that have picked her up.
Who knows how many more there are behind their backs? It really is in accordance with the saying, you can’t judge people by their appearance.”

The former girl nodded in approval, “And a school beauty flower.
I see that it is because of her cold attitude that people don’t notice it.
We are poor students, unlike those old men who spend hundreds of millions of dollars at a time.”
 Her eyes and tone were despicable but if one were to analyze it carefully, there was a hint of jealousy in it.

The latter echoed, “We have all been deceived by the illusion.
But she is really bold.
Daring to step on a boat with one foot, not afraid of overturning the boat and drowning herself.”

(TN: Step on a boat with one foot  = This phrase literally means one person stepping on two boats.
Figuratively, this phrase means for the purpose of doing speculation or leaving more opportunities for oneself, one keeps in touch with both sides.
Nowadays, the phrase is commonly used to describe the relationship between men and women (be a two-timer, to cheat)).

The first girl replied, “People with long legs and can do it.
Even if you step on air, you can’t drown.
With that face, maybe she’ll hug an even thicker thigh.
You saw those pictures.
The man who sent her back drove a better car than the former one.”

(TN: thigh = usually chinese use ‘thigh’ to describe a rich person or a people who can support you in financial or so)

The two people thought they were whispering, but Yu Xiaoxuan and Shen Qinglan were not deaf.
How could they not hear? Shen Qinglan fell silent without any expression, but Yu Xiaoxuan was furious, and after listening for what felt like half a day, she finally understood what was going on.

Yu Xiaoxuan rushed towards the two people and reached them in two to three steps and yelled “You foolish people! If you dare to talk anymore of this nonsense, I will sue you for slander.”

The two were startled by the sudden appearance of Yu Xiaoxuan in front of them.
Their eyes were a little guilty.
But when they thought back on what they were feeling guilty about, they realized that they weren’t in the wrong and they straightened up their backs in an instant.

The first girl rebuked, “She dares to do things, but expects people to stay quiet about it, ah!”

Her companion also joined in, “That’s right.
She has done shameless things and has the nerve to come to school.
There is no need to ruin the school’s atmosphere.”

Yu Xiaoxuan was furious. “Do you have any evidence? If there is no evidence, I will sue you for libel”

The former girl looked at Shen Qinglan with disdain, “It’s all over the forum that she was involved with different men and there are high resolution photos to prove it.”

As Shen Qinglan’s eyes lowered, Yu Xiaoxuan’s face turned repulsive.
However, the two girls took this as a confirmation of being exposed, so their guilt lessened and their faces became increasingly proud.
They looked at Shen Qinglan like they were looking at something filthy.

The first girl said in a mocking way, “Now I know I’m guilty.
What have I done? I’m still a pure school flower.
I’m so happy.”

And the second girl chimed in, “It’s just, I don’t even know how many men I’ve been with.”

Yu Xiaoxuan’s face turned red, and she was staring at the two women who were talking as they pleased.
Shen Qinglan, however, had no other reaction except that her face was colder than usual.
As soon as she saw Yu Xiaoxuan open her mouth to argue with them, Shen Qinglan took Yu Xiaoxuan’s hand and left immediately.

Instead of going to the cafeteria, the two of them went straight to their dorm room, earning countless dirty looks and angry words along the way.

With an enraged face, Yu Xiaoxuan kicked open the bedroom door with her foot, scaring Fang Tong who was still sleeping.
She woke up abruptly and sat up with a shocked face.

Once she recovered, she pointed at Yu Xiaoxuan, and asked with trembling fingers, “Yu Xiaoxuan, what are you mad about so early in the morning?

Yu Xiaoxuan ignored Fang Tong’s words and hurried to open the school forum on the computer.
Sure enough, she saw a post at the top called “Men Behind the Cold School Flower”.
After clicking on the post, she found that the comments under the post had exploded.
At a glance, there were hundreds of comments, most of which were berating Shen Qinglan.
The language was so vulgar that it was hard to even look at.

There were only a handful of comments to help Shen Qinglan.
But they were already besieged by those who were no longer afraid to pop up in the comments section.

The first one was a photo of Fu Hengyi driving a military SUV to pick her up, the second one was a photo of Gu Yang when he came to look for her and the third one was a photo of Shen Junyu sending the three of them back last night.
But there is no Fang Tong and Yu Xiaoxuan in the photo, only Shen Qinglan, who was bent over and talking to Shen Junyu in the car.

The more Yu Xiaoxuan looked at her face, the more annoyed she looked.
Shen Qinglan stood behind her, looking at the computer screen, her eyes dark.
No one knew she was thinking.

Fang Tong clearly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the dorm room and climbed down from the bed to look at the screen.
After one look at the screen, her face turned just as annoyed as Yu Xiaoxuan’s.

“Who made this post?”

Yu Xiaoxuan’s voice turned dark. “I don’t know.
It was sent anonymously.
If I let my aunt know which son of a bitch is behind the rumor and vilification of Qinglan and if I don’t kill him, I won’t be surnamed Yu.”
