Mr. Yan, wake up! Your wife isn't a delicate little flower.

So many people can't handle Cheng Xihe's situation.

Her little follower, Luo Qiqi, actually went to jail because of this, and now everyone is suspicious of her.

Even during dance practice today, everyone treated her very strangely, as if she were a monster.

Qin Ruosu was furious, but no one would listen to her explanation.

Even when she tried to play the victim, no one paid any attention to her.

Without any followers to make her stand out, no one paid much attention to her and didn't take her seriously at all.

Therefore, Qin Ruosu hated Cheng Xihe even more.

If Cheng Xihe hadn't retaliated so forcefully, she wouldn't have been misunderstood by everyone.

She didn't do anything wrong, yet she still advised Luo Qiqi to delete the post.

Luo Qiqi is also an idiot, she brought trouble upon herself.

Because of this, she was constantly distracted while dancing, fearing that Cheng Xihe would mess with her and embarrass her in front of the whole school.

Cheng Xihe had no idea that Qin Ruosu had once again come to hate him.

She frowned as she watched Qin Ruosu's dance: "This level is pretty average. Is she really in the center position?"

"She wasn't originally in the center position."

A voice answered her question.

Cheng Xihe looked up and saw that Yin Haisen had sat down next to her at some point.

"What's wrong, Yin?" Cheng Xihe raised an eyebrow at him.

Yin Haisen whispered, "Qin Ruosu took the center position from someone else. That girl suddenly fell into the school lake and got sick."

Suddenly, he fell into the lake.

At this crucial moment?

Who would believe that the lead dancer went to the lake and fell in? It was a crucial moment before she was about to go on stage.

Moreover, even if you don't want to be the lead dancer, you can just tell the teacher you're quitting, instead of jumping off and getting sick.

"Tell me about it." Cheng Xihe was genuinely interested. He didn't even bother to look at Qin Ruosu on the stage anymore; he just wanted to hear how outrageous it was.

Yin Haisen simply said, "After the lead dancer got injured, the rehearsal teacher couldn't find a tall person to be the center, so it was Qin Ruosu's turn."

"Then why did you say she stole it?" Cheng Xihe raised an eyebrow: "I didn't expect you to know so much. I underestimated you."

Yin Haisen whispered, "Didn't you see the forum? Everyone's chirping crickets quietly."

"Didn't Qin Ruosu say she was a great dancer? How come she's been dancing for so long and has never been the center?"

Cheng Xihe looked puzzled.

In her opinion, although Qin Ruosu's features were not exquisite, she was at most pretty and delicate. As long as her dance skills were excellent, she could easily be the center.

Yin Haisen asked in surprise, "Why would you think that?"

Her dancing is just so-so, but she'll pass the exam anyway, and most people don't find it interesting.

How could you think so highly of her?

"Listen to her bragging."

Cheng Xihe scoffed lightly: "But I didn't expect her to be so easily defeated. She didn't even earn the center position on her own."

"In short, you should stay away from this person. She's not a good person and could very well hurt you."

Yin Haisen, having somehow learned something, kept trying to persuade Cheng Xihe.

Yawning, Cheng Xihe said, "That's enough for today. I'm too lazy to watch anymore. I've remembered everything you said."

"what!"

Just as she got up to leave.

Something happened on stage!

Qin Ruosu suddenly fell down, and no one knew what had happened.

She fell in a clever spot, landing on top of someone else and pinning down the students below.

The girl below frowned: "You, you get up right now, you're pressing down on me, it hurts."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm so sorry." Qin Ruosu looked pitifully at the girl on the ground and kept apologizing.

The girl reached out her hand and said with difficulty, "Stop apologizing, just help me up!"

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to." Qin Ruosu sat to the side as if she had been bullied.

The music stopped, and the teachers in the audience all looked unhappy.

School dance rehearsals take a long time, and everyone knows each position very well. How could someone suddenly fall down?

The girl rolled her eyes, and the girl next to her pulled her up: "Qin Ruosu, you knocked someone down, what are you doing crying here? I'm speechless."

"Yeah, they don't even help people up when they fall, they just cry and cry, all they do is cry!"

"The problem is that she's the one who knocked him down."

Several teachers rushed onto the stage, and the support staff quickly pinned the person to the ground and began checking them.

"Don't move, let the school doctor check you out."

The host calmly directed, "Move her over there, and we'll continue with the rest of the program."

"Okay, I'll leave this to you."

One of the teachers nodded to the host.

The group went behind the curtain, shutting out the incessant discussions outside.

The teacher asked the student who had tripped with concern, "How are you? Can you still move?"

"able."

The teacher glanced at Qin Ruosu, a hint of sternness flashing in her eyes: "Are you injured?"

"I didn't," Qin Ruosu shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry, teacher, I didn't mean to."

She was perfectly fine, just standing there crying, her eyes full of worry.

It wasn't that she was worried about the girl she had knocked down, but rather that her brother had already been dragged away.

She lowered her head, looking extremely pitiful.

The teacher didn't know what else to say, and could only look at the girl who had fallen: "No matter what happened today, I will give you an explanation. Can you move? Should I take you to the infirmary?"

"it is good."

The girl nodded to the teacher, her gaze falling on Qin Ruosu not far away, and rolled her eyes fiercely.

This is the first time I've met someone like this.

What's the point of constantly apologizing and talking nonsense? It's all just pretense and not sincere at all.

Seeing that no one cared about her crying and everyone was asking about the girl who had tripped, Qin Ruosu panicked.

She quickly moved closer: "Teacher, it's all my fault that Qingxuan got hurt. Let me go to the infirmary with her."

"you?"

The teacher glanced at Qin Ruosu's red eyes and said, "Forget it, you stay here, I'll take her."

Ignoring Qin Ruosu, the teacher quickly took her to the infirmary.

Qin Ruosu looked around at her classmates.

After the teacher left, they quickly followed, ignoring Qin Ruosu behind them.

Mad!

Surprisingly, no one seemed to care about him.

Realizing she wasn't getting any attention, Qin Ruosu changed her approach.

She quickly followed him out.

On stage, the host was still conducting his work, and the subsequent programs continued.

Everyone quickly forgot about this little incident.

Weird.

This matter has already gone viral on the forum, and the post quickly went viral, with everyone now discussing it on the forum.

Cheng Xihe glanced at the situation on the stage and scoffed, "She's still so good at putting on an act."

Just now, in front of so many people, Qin Ruosu's pitiful expression was magnified countless times, attracting everyone's attention.

But Cheng Xihe could clearly see that Qin Ruosu was distracted while dancing.

She had already caught that fleeting, sinister expression.

Cheng Xihe scoffed lightly.

She can get into trouble even by dancing; she uses all her energy on this. No wonder her grades are always at the bottom.

"Isn't that Qin Ruosu?" Yin Haisen had also seen Qin Ruosu's photo on the forum.

Those are heavily edited photos; they still look somewhat different from the real person.

Cheng Xihe nodded: "Yes, it's her."

"This person looks so different from the picture; they're not nearly as refined," Yin Haisen shook his head.

Cheng Xihe chuckled lightly: "What does it matter? Being beautiful is useless if your character speaks for itself."

"Indeed, when you were being bullied, she didn't say a word in your defense."

Yin Haisen paused, then observed Cheng Xihe's expression. "I have a question I'd like to ask. Would it be convenient for you to answer, Cheng?"

"Tell me about it, I'll think about it." Cheng Xihe raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

Yin Haisen asked in a low voice, "Is she really your sister?"

"She is my father's stepdaughter," Cheng Xihe replied indifferently, his expression cold.

Seeing this, Yin Haisen nodded: "I understand. So even though she knows you're being bullied, she's unwilling to speak up for you."

Wouldn't she tell the person who posted online bullying you?

I heard they were in the same dorm.

"I've discovered a problem."

Cheng Xihe rested his chin on his hand, staring intently at Yin Haisen.

Yin Haisen scratched his head, somewhat confused: "W-what's wrong? What's the problem?"

"You're such a gossip! You're even more gossipy than I imagined," Cheng Xihe chuckled.

Nodding, Yin Haisen said, "I am indeed a bit gossipy, but I've always been like this."

"Okay, just kidding. Let's continue watching the show."

After Cheng Xihe finished speaking, he looked away.

Yin Haisen chuckled awkwardly upon seeing this and said nothing more.

Rose Castle.

Just as Yan Mingchuan lay down to rest, Su Jin knocked on the door.

He frowned, glanced at the time, and pressed the door open button on the bedside table: "Come in."

Su Jin, still in her pajamas, rushed in: "Brother Yan, I just heard some news..."

"You have five minutes to explain what you have to say. I need to go to sleep now, or Xihe will scold me."

Yan Mingchuan looked at his watch with a serious expression.

Cheng Xihe told him to take good care of his health, and that he could have another physical examination when he returned from military training.

Su Jin mocked, "Brother Yan, you really do listen to your sister-in-law a lot."

"She's Ghost Hand, are you?" Yan Mingchuan looked at Su Jin with a stern face.

Su Jin suddenly realized and scratched her head: "Oh right, I almost forgot, my sister-in-law is the Ghost Hand Doctor."

"Get to the point."

Yan Mingchuan looked at Su Jin with annoyance.

Su Jin then said, "By the way, Brother Yan, I just heard news from overseas that your third uncle's house was robbed."

"Third Uncle?"

Yan Mingchuan thought back to his so-called third uncle.

Her mother's family abroad is a large family, and she has hardly ever met her third uncle, so it's hard to reconcile the dots.

"What happened?"

Su Jin whispered, "He was too greedy, and he got punished..."
