That day, Wen Yisheng was on the playground with Wei Lan and the others. The sun was shining brightly, and the late autumn sun made people feel warm and comfortable. Groups of students were playing and laughing on the playground.

With the school sports meet just around the corner, many classes are training on the playground. There are various sports, such as running with a ball between two people carrying each other on their backs, passing a hula hoop while spinning, and kangaroo jumping by hopping through sacks. There are also all sorts of other activities, such as riding bicycles. The playground is bustling with activity.

Wei Lan looked at a class practicing three-legged races and exclaimed, "Holy crap, Sheng Sheng, look! Peppa Pig underwear!" Wei Lan laughed so hard her shoulders shook as she pointed it out to her.

Wen Yisheng turned her head to look over.

That team was a freshman class of civil engineering. About twelve people were sprinting with their calves tied together. Suddenly, a boy in the middle fell to his knees and was carried by the people on both sides. His school pants were pulled down, revealing the Peppa Pig boxer briefs he was wearing underneath.

Wen Yisheng couldn't help but laugh: "...Quite cute."

Before returning to work, Wen Yisheng took out her phone and checked her WeChat. Her WeChat list showed a new message: the coffee shop manager had transferred her salary via WeChat.

Wen Yisheng was pleasantly surprised and eagerly clicked to receive payment. However, when she returned to the classroom and took out her notebook to record her part-time work hours, she discovered that the store manager had given her an extra 400 yuan!

"Manager, it seems you gave me an extra 400 yuan," Wen Yisheng typed.

The store manager replied: That four hundred yuan belonged to Zhong Xu. He said he would give you his salary before he resigned.

Wen Yisheng was stunned. Senior Zhong Xu? Wasn't he working for money? Why was he giving her his salary...?

No matter the reason, I can't take the money. It's four hundred yuan. But class starts in a few minutes, so I'll return it to him after class.

During the afternoon self-study session, Wen Zhi entered the classroom through the front door, carrying a stack of math test papers.

He stood in front of the podium and handed out the test papers to the group leaders: "Do the math test during the afternoon self-study period. Those who finish can hand in their papers and go to the playground for practice."

Wen Zhi walked back to his seat. Wen Yisheng was engrossed in doing her test paper. She moved her chair forward to make room for her. Wen Zhi glanced at her but didn't say anything.

After finishing their exams, physical education representatives Lin Chen and Xu Lang left school to order their class uniforms for the school sports meet. Lin Chen reached into his desk and rummaged through his schoolbag for a while before his expression changed drastically.

Xu Lang asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Chen, a tall and strong boy, said with a heavy expression, "The three thousand yuan in class funds that Lao Huang gave us is gone."

"Look carefully again, is it possible you didn't put it in your backpack?"

Lin Chen searched again, but all the books in the desk drawer were lying on the floor: "No, I put them in my schoolbag."

Most of the students were still in the classroom working on their exams when they heard the noise. They looked over curiously and were suspicious when they learned that the class funds had gone missing.

"How could it be lost? Could it have been stolen?"

"Seriously? Who needs three thousand yuan?" The students in the class all have impressive backgrounds, so three thousand yuan is just a small amount to them.

Some people's eyes fell on Ye Hehua in the first row. The girl was plain and thin. They all remembered the grand occasion when she first entered the school, like a mountain girl entering the city.

Li Youxue sneered as if watching a good show: "There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. Maybe someone is short of three thousand yuan. We have a guy from a poor country here. Who knows if he's honest or dishonest?"

Everyone knew who she was referring to, and they immediately started pointing and whispering about Ye Hehua.

Xu Lang frowned but did not express his opinion.

Wei Lan glared at Xu Lang, slammed her hand on the table, and stood up: "Li Youxue, are you out of your mind? Don't you realize how foul your mouth is when you speak so rudely?"

The two had always been at odds, and Li Youxue was both angry and furious: "I'm just stating the facts. If she's not guilty, then let us search the desk drawers."

Wen Yisheng, who had been quietly working on her test, put down her pen and said calmly, "Class monitor, it's fine to go through bags, but you should do it one by one according to seating order, not target individuals."

Wen Yisheng was not flashy in class and was usually quiet. When she spoke, her voice was soft, clear, and exceptionally pleasant to hear.

Xu Lang nodded and restrained the hot-tempered Wei Lan.

Lin Chen and Xu Lang checked each of the desk holes one by one.

When she went to Ye Hehua's place, she found nothing. Wen Yisheng smiled and continued writing her test paper. She knew that the academic genius was of noble character and would not covet ill-gotten gains.

When it was Lin Chen's turn to check Wen Yisheng's seat by the window, he glanced at their neat and clean desks and hesitated for a moment: "There's no need to check the math class representative's desk, they definitely don't have one..."

Wen Zhi smiled, stood up and let him check, "It's okay, everyone is treated equally, there can be no special treatment."

Wen Yisheng naturally gave up her seat, and the two of them stood in the aisle.

Given Wen Zhi's family background and upbringing, how could he possibly steal class funds?

Wen Yisheng was the most well-behaved and honest student in the class. She was also pure and pretty, and there was no suspicion that she had stolen money. Lin Chen opened their schoolbags and casually rummaged through them a couple of times before leaving it at that.

"No, none of them."

The class was getting bored: "Lin Chen, did you lose the class funds yourself?"

"No, I just put it in my backpack!" Lin Chen blushed with anxiety when his classmate said that.

"Then you can add it yourself, since your family is nouveau riche and has money anyway."

Wen Yisheng wasn't a class monitor and didn't have much say in this matter. She sympathized with Lin Chen for a second before preparing to go back to her seat and continue writing her test paper.

Lin Chen stood in front of the two desks, a little agitated by his classmate's words: "This isn't about money at all! I..."

He raised his hand and accidentally bumped into a book that Wen Yisheng had placed on the table.

The book fell to the ground.

Someone saw something, pointed to the ground, and exclaimed, "Money!"

Wen Yisheng looked over, and everyone in the class stood up and gathered around.

Someone reacted quickly, picking up the book from the ground and a few red banknotes that had fallen out of the pages. Then, flipping through the book again, all the red banknotes tucked inside were exposed.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

"So it was Wen Yisheng who stole the class funds?"

"How could such an innocent girl be two-faced?"

Seeing this, Li Youxue couldn't hide the schadenfreude on her face, and her sharp voice echoed in every corner of the classroom: "What a good actor! So it was you who stole the class funds! And you even had the audacity to hide it in a book! If Lin Chen hadn't accidentally bumped into it, who would have discovered it!"

Wen Zhi glanced at the banknotes tucked inside the book, then looked up at Wen Yisheng.

Wen Yisheng was stunned for a moment. Her slender, white neck resembled that of an elegant little swan. Facing everyone's gaze, she retorted without any guilt, "I didn't take the class funds."

"The facts are right here, the whole class saw it and you still won't admit it."

Wei Lan shoved Li Youxue aside and stood next to Wen Yisheng: "Did you see Sheng Sheng take the money with your own eyes? Who knows if someone is just jealous of her and is trying to frame her with this old-fashioned scheme?"

Li Youxue scoffed, arrogantly revealing to the whole class, "What's there to be jealous of in her? I saw Wen Yisheng working at a coffee shop when I was shopping! Yue'er was there too!"

"It's not surprising at all that someone as short of money as her would steal class funds."
