The sweet and gentle boy is actually crazy and bad.

Zhong Yue'er frowned, pulled Li Youxue back, and said with a heavy heart, "Youxue, you've gone too far. Sheng Sheng isn't that kind of person. Anyway, the money has been found, so let's not dwell on it anymore."

Lin Chen put away the money and didn't intend to pursue the matter, but his eyes held a hint of disdain as he looked at Wen Yisheng: "Let's leave it at that. I won't tell the homeroom teacher."

Everyone returned to their seats, but their subtle glances kept drifting towards Wen Yisheng.

"Ye Zi and I both believe in you," Wei Lan comforted her.

Wen Yisheng nodded gratefully, but stepped forward to stop Lin Chen, her face full of magnanimity: "I didn't take it, that's all. Please go and tell the homeroom teacher now. Even if the police come, I'm not afraid of being held accountable."

Wen Yisheng knew perfectly well that if this matter was left unresolved today, the fabricated story of her receiving class funds would be confirmed.

Lin Chen grew impatient. All the boys liked her, but he had no feelings for this kind of delicate girl: "Are you done yet? Everyone is tired and busy. There are no security cameras in the classroom. The money was found in your book. We've already said we wouldn't make a fuss, and you still have the nerve to keep bothering me?"

"There's nothing to be ashamed of. I just don't want to be wronged for no reason, and I don't need your magnanimity to overlook it. I just want my innocence cleared."

"Sheng Sheng..." The little girl always appeared so tough on the surface when something happened, as if she was wearing an indestructible shield, but in fact her eyes were red and swollen. Wei Lan felt extremely sorry for her.

Lin Chen scoffed and completely ignored her.

Most people adopted an indifferent attitude, their expressions apathetic, or perhaps a few looked on with pity.

Just like Lin Chen said, there are no surveillance cameras in the classroom, so if this happens to you, you'll have no way to defend yourself.

Li Youxue and a few other girls discussed the matter arrogantly.

"The money was found in the book, so why pretend to be innocent?"

"I've disliked her for a long time. Her innocent and pure image is all fake. Yueyue is much more genuine than her."

The discussions were neither too loud nor too soft; Wen Yisheng could hear them clearly.

She gritted her teeth, her clear, dark pupils trembling slightly, and glared fiercely at them: "Shut up!"

The classroom fell silent for a moment; no one expected that the usually gentle girl could be so fierce.

Seeing that an argument was about to break out, Wen Zhi calmly glanced at everyone and said, "Quiet down, everyone. Xu Lang is going to order class uniforms outside of school. Lin Chen and Wen Yisheng are coming with me to the office. It's not good to wrong people. We're all classmates, so let's be polite."

Wen Zhi's words carried more weight than the class monitor's.

He was gentle and kind, but he had a convincing ability. He got along well with everyone and was a god-like figure among the students.

Everyone stopped arguing and quietly started working on their tests.

Upon arriving at the office, Huang Kailang comforted Wen Yisheng after learning about her situation, saying he believed in her. He then went to the classroom and clarified the matter for Wen Yisheng in front of the whole class, ordering the students not to use hurtful language anymore.

Huang Kailang collected the exam papers and left the classroom. Wen Yisheng gritted her teeth and chased after him: "Teacher Huang, I want to find the person who framed me for taking the class funds."

Such verbal clarification serves no purpose other than having a negligible superficial effect.

Huang Kailang sighed, "Wen Yisheng, I really trust your character, but there are no security cameras in the classroom, and the corridor cameras have too many students coming and going, so we can't find anything."

"Don't worry too much about this. If anyone dares to gossip about it, come find me. Besides, if you're upright, you have nothing to fear. You have a clear conscience, so what are you afraid of? Listen to your teacher, this matter will pass quickly. Focus on your studies."

"...I understand, teacher."

But this seemingly insignificant matter in the teacher's eyes brought about a dramatic change in Wen Yisheng's academic life.

She seems to have been convicted.

People started deliberately tripping her in the classroom corridor, then laughing and casually apologizing after she stumbled and fell.

Someone put caterpillars in her pencil case.

Her homework, which she was supposed to hand in that day, might have disappeared and was eventually found in the trash can.

She opened the notebook and found a small note with the word "Cao" written on it.

This kind of childish prank began to be played out intermittently after the class fund incident.

Wen Yisheng initially retaliated in kind, but due to Huang Kailang's helpless sighs and subtle impatience, she learned to ignore and tolerate him.

Fortunately, she has two friends, Wei Lan and Ye Hehua, and her adopted brother, Wen Zhi.

They were deskmates, and Wen Zhi could always sense the bullying she was suffering immediately.

Wen Zhi smiled: "There's not enough room for your legs under the table, why don't you go stand outside?"

The girl awkwardly withdrew her foot and sat up straight.

Wen Yisheng wasn't afraid of small animals like mice and insects, but she was terrified of mollusks; she wouldn't even glance at a silkworm.

The caterpillar in the pencil case was so fat and big that she jumped up in fright, knocking the pencil case over and onto the ground.

Wen Zhi glanced at her pale, stiff face, stood up, pinched the caterpillar through five layers of tissue paper, and threw it onto the podium.

"Who did it?"

His gaze swept over the students below the stage, unusually stern, a stark contrast to his usual gentle demeanor. "Stand up and apologize."

Wen Yisheng stood beside the desk, her slender figure beneath the oversized school uniform, her fists trembling uncontrollably at her sides.

The whole class was quiet; no one made a sound or moved.

"Nobody's going to say anything, is that it?" Wen Zhi chuckled. "Xie Yu, lock the front and back doors of the classroom. Nobody's going home tonight until someone steps forward."

Seeing that Wen Zhi was genuinely angry, someone hesitantly pointed out the instigator, and in the end, Wen Yisheng received a rather sincere apology.

During recess, Li Youxue and several other girls were discussing the matter indignantly:

"Why is Wen Zhi so biased towards Wen Yisheng?"

"Seriously, speechless."

"Wen Yisheng is such a good actress. Look at her pitiful look; guys love that kind of girl!"

Zhong Yue'er frowned, increasingly feeling that Li Youxue was incredibly stupid, but she couldn't show it on her face: "Enough, why are you all always targeting Wen Yisheng?"

Zhong Yue'er is a nice person. She is nice to everyone on the surface, which means that she doesn't have any real friends. She actually likes Wen Yisheng quite a bit. She really wants to be friends with this well-behaved, quiet, and ambitious girl.

but……

She wanted Wen Zhi, who was terribly wicked. She wanted to tame this cruel demon and make him submit to her.

But now, it's completely beyond her expectations.

Wen Yisheng seems to be getting closer to Wen Zhi after being ostracized because of the class fund issue.

~

Being isolated is very painful, but having friends around can make it much easier. However, people are individuals, and even the closest people cannot always be inseparable.

Wen Yisheng is becoming increasingly afraid of being alone.

Huang Kailang said that the incident would soon pass, but the phrase "taking class funds" spread and fermented throughout the entire grade.

Wen Yisheng has a pure and clean appearance, which naturally attracts the attention of many boys. However, she usually has a small circle of friends and does not show off, which gives people a sense of aloofness and coldness.

It makes people only able to admire from afar, not daring to actually get close.

But now…

What happens when a god falls to earth? Mortals will be envious, wanting to possess him or defile him.

When beauty falls into hell, that is a sin.

Wen Yisheng returned to class alone.

There were quite a few people chasing and playing in the corridor, and the boys leaning against the wall couldn't wait to gossip as she passed by:

"That's her. Don't let her clean appearance fool you, she's not a clean person at all."

"I also have to work on weekends to earn money."

"Yes, but some people say they saw her living in Hetang Bay, a well-known luxury mansion, where the average price is over 300,000 yuan per square meter."

"Holy crap, could I have been cheated on?"

Wen Yisheng was already numb to these disgusting words, but she still felt suffocated. She bit her lip until it turned white and bled, forcing herself to pretend to be calm and not respond.

Thinking of the little note tucked in her notebook, Wen Yisheng quickened her pace, wanting nothing more than to get back to her seat…

With Wen Zhi by their side, others will restrain their evil deeds.

But what terrified her most still happened.

Shao Yu wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind, his sticky, sinister voice close to her ear:

"I heard you're short on money. Hey, spend time with me tonight, I'll give you money..."
