25 – Someone is slandering her.
Soon, Qin Xue replied to her on her phone.
She said she would come to the classroom to find her soon.
“Uh.”
There’s no need to rush like that.
Although Suyun was overthinking things, she just needed to redirect her attention to something else, like listening to the class.
(I: I don’t have classes in the afternoon, can you give it to me when I get to your house?)
(Qin Xue: Sure)
Seeing Qin Xue’s reply, Suyun breathed a sigh of relief.
“Dingling.”
(Qin Xue: Remember to wear that white dress.)
But Qin Xue added one last thing.
Suyun helplessly pouted her lips.
This guy really can’t let this go…
“What’s wrong with you?” An anxious voice came from the front.
At that moment, Suyun realized that the two people in front were still talking during class.
Suyun also noticed Zhang De-yi’s situation, but the distance between the computer room and the front was a bit far, so she couldn’t ask.
…
“Bro, want to join our support group?” As the seating for the second class got closer, Zhang De-yi turned his head proactively.
With a smile on his face and a gentle tone, it should have sounded quite sincere. However, seeing his left cheek, which was puffed up as if he had been punched, made it somewhat comical.
“What support group?” Suyun was slightly taken aback.
“It’s the one I showed you with the photo before.” Zhang De-yi explained, then took out his phone to show Suyun the image.
Hmm, it looked quite familiar.
Because she often saw herself in the mirror while taking a shower yesterday.
Fair and tender… cough, not talking about that.
“Not interested,” Suyun decisively rejected.
This so-called support group was for sharing pictures and communication, and if she joined and saw the content, it would be even more torture.
“I feel like it might be because the goddess is too low-key but has such high popularity that it makes some people jealous. Recently, someone is trying to frame her!”
Although Zhang De-yi was rejected, his excitement couldn’t help but cause him to say the second half of his statement.
“?” Suyun frowned as she heard this.
“Right, bro is so happy now; if that person sees this, they might get angry.” Zhang De-yi didn’t continue to pester and was just about to turn his head.
But in the next second, Suyun grabbed the shoulder he was trying to turn away.
“It hurts, bro, what are you doing?”
“I want to join.” While Zhang De-yi was still yelping, Suyun stated her decision.
“Ah, doesn’t that mean sister-in-law is…”
“I don’t have a girlfriend.” Suyun’s face was filled with black lines.
“You just said someone is trying to frame her. What’s going on? I’m joining the group, quickly tell me.”
“Okay, I’ll add you now.” Seeing that Suyun cared so much, Zhang De-yi nodded seriously, as if it were a very serious matter.
Suyun opened QQ, agreed, and was already added to the ‘Snow White’ support group.
(Welcome newbies, since you’re here, we’re brothers now.)
(Welcome, welcome.)
As soon as she entered the group, many people welcomed her, making her a bit uncomfortable.
(We are currently in critical danger.)
(Recently, someone is trying to frame our Snow White…)
After the welcoming ceremony ended, Zhang De-yi, this ‘president,’ made a solemn statement in the group of just over twenty people.
It was so embarrassing that Suyun couldn’t read the first sentence any longer.
However, she still learned the general situation.
That is, someone was publicly slandering her at school, and in the morning, a banner was directly set up in front of the male dormitory.
It accused her of being promiscuous, claiming she left the school late at night, and that her current boyfriend was suffering. They even accompanied it with a few photos that clearly weren’t her, but with white hair, making it look quite realistic.
And Zhang De-yi mentioned that those promoting this slander dressed less like college students and more like thugs, speculating that they might have hired outsiders so that the school couldn’t catch them.
This left Suyun speechless.
She clenched her teeth.
Seriously, are they sick?
After all, this seemed quite public, directly placed at the entrance. If it were any other girl being slandered like this, they would probably feel really bad and cry secretly at night. Some who are emotionally fragile might even be suicidal.
Suyun thought to herself that if it were Qin Xue being pointed at and called promiscuous, how would she react?
“…”
Forget it, she just wanted to go and hang those few dumbasses who spread rumors.
Eventually, Suyun calmed down after several minutes, and her mood was not so extreme anymore.
Right now, without saying anything else, she could take one down with a single punch.
But that would definitely stir up a lot of noise, and in the end, her identity might not be concealed anymore.
Being silent and enduring was uncomfortable.
But fortunately, with this support group, they said they would just throw away that banner whenever they saw it, and if anyone reacted nearby, they would throw them out too.
For this, Suyun would call them passionate and righteous male college students.
“We must let certain people know that relying on just words cannot solve problems. Jealousy should remain as jealousy; don’t think of anything crooked.”
Looking at Zhang De-yi’s resentful expression, she felt that he had some concerns.
“What have you guys been talking about over there?!” Possibly because Zhang De-yi’s passionate voice was too loud, the teacher at the podium heard it.
Then, Zhang De-yi was punished to stand for one class.
Regarding this matter, Suyun thought it was quite good; at least she didn’t have to face it herself.
Hopefully, everything would go smoothly for them.
She also planned to stay in this support group, not only to keep track of this incident’s progress but also to check for the latest ‘information.’
Information, of course, meant the latest beautiful pictures of this white-haired goddess and such…
Thinking of that made Suyun feel a pang of bitterness in her heart.
But this way, she could know whether she had concealed her identity and if she had been secretly photographed.
“Good luck.” In the end, Suyun thought of Zhang De-yi’s swollen face, which made her finally understand what was going on.
She was filled with gratitude and wanted to thank him but felt it was inappropriate, so she just encouraged him a bit.
…
…
The morning class ended, and the next was a long break lasting two and a half days.
Suyun walked out of the school gate alone, and she decided not to take off her hat on campus anymore.
Then, something unfortunate happened just a while ago.
During class, someone called her. Since it was in class, she didn’t answer, and the person sent a text message.
It was the landlord asking to see her ID; she had forgotten to register that day because it was too late.
If she didn’t have her ID, Suyun would have to move out.
What a string of bad luck…
…
“Hmm?”
When Suyun arrived home with a heavy heart, she was surprised to find something on her bed.
An orange cat was curled up in the middle of her white bed, sleeping.
And it didn’t look fat, suggesting it was still a kitten.
“Where did this come from?” Suyun wondered, rubbing her eyes, and when she opened them again, it was still the same.
Did it climb in through the window? On the 11th floor, that’s too frightening.
Suyun mustered her courage to get closer.
Upon closer inspection, she found that the orange cat’s fur was quite beautiful, as if someone often groomed it.
It shouldn’t be a stray cat.
“Knock knock.”
“?!” At that moment, there was a knock on the door outside, startling the anxious Suyun.
She walked over to open the door to find the rent collector, wearing black glasses and holding a big bunch of keys.
“You don’t have your ID now?” The other party was very forceful, holding the registration form in hand, as if judging her for a crime.
“It’s with my parents; can I register on the weekend?” Suyun asked weakly, looking like a truly delicate girl.
“That works; just remember to do it quickly.” The rent collector hesitated, adjusting her black glasses before leaving slowly.
“…”
It’s over.
It seems Suyun now had to tell her parents about her becoming a girl and ask them to come over on the weekend.
After that, the room fell into silence.
Suyun sat on the edge of the bed, sulking with a lifeless expression.
“Meow~” At some point, the orange cat woke up, rubbing its head against Suyun’s back, tickling her.
“Oh… what should I do with this cat?”
