Hikaru Hashima wiped the sweat from his hair. Ichinose Honami should not have woken up yet. He put his phone in his pocket and chose to quicken his pace back to the dormitory.

……

"Hanbo?"

When he opened the dormitory door, Mitsuru Hashima lowered his voice and walked into the room. As expected, he saw his girlfriend still sleeping on the bed. Her hair was messy because she had stayed up very late last night.

"If you don't know yet, then talk to others first."

Hikaru Hashima quickly finished his shower and changed his clothes. Then he opened the heated Class A group chat. Even those students who woke up earlier were still lying in their beds, venting their anger in the group.

Class group chat.

Shibata Sa: This is definitely a rumor targeting Ichinose-san!

Ryuji Kanzaki: I think so too. No matter what, such slander is a very bad behavior and will cause a series of consequences.

Sayo Ando: Ichinose-san seems to be still asleep. I just sent her a message.

At this time, Hashima Hikaru's message was sent out, which once again triggered everyone's enthusiastic response.

Hikaru Hashima: Honami hasn't woken up yet, but this was definitely a premeditated targeted act. Everyone, please don't get too excited. We need to come up with a perfect way to deal with this first and not continue to expand the impact of this incident.

Shibata Sa: Hashima-san, who do you think might be behind this?

Hashima Hikaru: No matter who it is, since this message has been posted, the number of people who can see it will continue to increase. I will deal with this post first.

Kanzaki Ryuji: I'm already up. Do we have a meeting later?

Ando Sayo: I'm going to Hashima-san's dormitory now.

Hashima Hikaru: Well, don't be nervous, this matter needs to be resolved step by step.

Hikaru Hashima comforted his classmates in the group, and at the same time used his vice president authority to directly lock the post. The next moment, the post was covered by the ever-increasing new posts and disappeared from the homepage.

However, because so many people had seen it, the boy did not have time to deal with the ever-growing number of discussion threads one by one, so he could only control it from the source.

Before leaving the school forum, Hikaru Hashima posted the post he had edited last night in the name of the Student Union, and soon received support from the students in Class A.

"Besides holding meetings, we still need to use the school's radio station or auditorium."

Hashima Hikaru briefly thought about the follow-up arrangements. No matter what, the first priority at the moment was to stabilize Ichinose Honami first. After all, judging from Sakayanagi Arisu's reply, his girlfriend really had a gray past.

"Light?"

The girl sleeping on the bed seemed to have heard some noise. She slowly opened her eyes, and after seeing the figure standing at the head of the bed, a gentle smile appeared on her pretty face.

"Is Fanbo awake?"

"Well, I feel very energetic now!"

Ichinose Honami sat up and stretched. Today was a day off, and being able to see her lover as soon as she woke up made the girl feel very satisfied.

"Honomi, go wash up first. Kanzaki and the others will be coming over for a small meeting soon. We need to discuss something very important."

Hashima Hikaru helped the girl up, his tone gentle.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Ichinose Honami's face was full of confusion. She had no idea why a meeting was suddenly required, since nothing about this matter had been mentioned yesterday.

"Anyway, don't ask any more questions. Go wash your face quickly, Fanbo. Are you going to face everyone like this?"

Mitsuru Hashima smiled and pointed at the girl's pretty face, on which there were still traces of saliva.

"Ah, I see!"

Ichinose Honami glared at her boyfriend unhappily. When she quickly walked into the bathroom to wash up, she stared at his back, feeling a bit complicated.

The small meeting later might reveal some complicated past, but as her boyfriend, Hashima Hikaru decided to keep an eye on Ichinose Honami's emotions throughout the whole process.

If Ichinose Honami doesn't want to talk about the past, then just pretend nothing happened and treat it as a rumor; if she is willing to open up, then use a different approach and keep the spread of true information to a minimum.

It's almost eight o'clock now, and many people have already gotten up.

The boy’s phone received countless text messages because this post had already set the entire campus on fire.

Chapter 520: When facing rumors, clarification is important.

As we all know, Tokyo Metropolitan Koudou Ikusei Junior High School is a completely closed school. This closure is not only in the physical sense, but also has perfect management in all other aspects.

Being in this kind of environment for a long time, any interesting information or events will cause huge waves among the student group. Everyone will spread and discuss it crazily, causing huge impact on public opinion.

On this ordinary Saturday morning, the explosive post about Ichinose Honami naturally ignited everyone's enthusiasm, and not only the first-year students, but even the second- and third-year seniors were very concerned.

Although Ichinose Honami is a very famous beautiful girl among the first graders, her boyfriend Hashima Hikaru is the one who is truly famous throughout the school.

Not only did he show his prowess during the special exam, but he also attracted a lot of attention during the sports festival. Not only that, but he was also the first freshman in the school to be elected as the vice-president of the student council.

Such an eye-catching person naturally attracted a lot of attention and comments from his girlfriend. After this post was published, countless people silently forwarded and spread it, and even Horikita Manabu, who usually didn't pay much attention to forum information, knew about it.

Hashima Hikaru looked at the messages sent on her mobile phone. There were a lot of people sending messages, including girls who were close to her, as well as some partners and subordinates. Everyone was paying close attention to this matter.

"Really? It's going to take a lot of time to completely erase the impact of this incident."

The young man sighed softly. At this time, there was a knock on the door. He must have been Kanzaki Ryuji and the others.

"Guang, are the classmates here?"

Ichinose Honami walked out of the bathroom. She had finished washing up and changed into a comfortable winter home clothes. After being moisturized by her boyfriend for a long time, the girl now exuded an intellectual and mature temperament.

"should be."

Hashima Mitsuru nodded, opened the door and brought in several students outside.

"Hello everyone!"

The pink-haired girl hadn't had time to check her phone, so she had no idea what was going on. She still smiled and greeted everyone.

"Good morning, Ichinose-san."

There was some worry in Ando Sayo's eyes, but she saw the hint on Hashima Hikaru's face and said nothing.

Standing next to Ando were Ryuji Kanzaki and Sasa Shibata, two boys who had considerable say in Class A besides Hikaru Hashima. Behind them were Kozue Minami and Yuki Himeno. When these five people walked in together, the living room immediately became crowded.

"Everyone, please sit down first and let's discuss this matter slowly."

Hikaru Hashima instructed his classmates to sit around the table and asked his girlfriend to sit next to him.

"Ah."

After everyone sat down, Ichinose Honami looked at the serious expressions on everyone's faces and was very curious about what had happened. Could it be that the world had changed drastically after she had a good sleep?

"Fan Bo."

Mitsuru Hashima noticed the inquiring expression on the girl's face. He smiled slightly at first, then turned the screen of his phone to the location of the post and gently pushed it towards her.

"You should take a look at this first."

"What is it?"

Ichinose Honami took her boyfriend's phone with a smile, but after seeing the text on it, the girl's expression froze almost instantly.

"Don't be nervous, Fanbo. Take your time and look at it. We won't comment on anything right now. We'll leave you room to think."

Hashima Hikaru put his arm around her shoulders and said gently, "After you have sorted out your thoughts, we can discuss how to solve this problem."

"Um……"

After being hugged by her boyfriend, Ichinose Honami's heart trembled violently. She pursed her lips and stared at the post on the screen motionlessly. Except for the theft incident that happened in junior high school, all the others were rumors.

But the number of comments and views below declares a fact: countless people have seen it.

"It's okay, don't worry, take your time~"

Hikaru Hashima put his shoulder against the girl and said gently, "I have frozen this post. Except for those who have seen it before, no one else will see it."

"But……"

Ichinose Honami's eyes were extremely shaken. She had originally planned to confess this to her boyfriend when she went back to her hometown with Hashima Hikaru, but because the situation was not appropriate at the time, she never said it.

Now that it has suddenly been posted on the forum, in addition to her boyfriend, even many unrelated students know about it. I guess it has been spread beyond recognition.

"This is most likely an attack on our Class A by others. They want to attack Fan Bo's heart by spreading rumors. We don't believe it."

Hashima Hikaru gently stroked the girl's back with his hand. He glanced at the students sitting opposite him and motioned them to add to the discussion.

"Yes, this post is anonymous, but I think it's most likely from Class B, because their discussion is the most targeted."

"That's right. And anonymous IDs aren't completely untraceable. If we ask the people in the Computer Research Club, maybe we can find out who it is."

Shibata knew a lot of people and immediately thought of this idea.

"I think it's definitely a rumor. We've known each other for so long, and Ichinose-san is definitely not that kind of person!"

Ando Sayo tightly grasped the pink-haired girl's hand on the table and said seriously.

"But this is a school. If someone spreads rumors, we can't directly hold them responsible. After all, we are all minors, and this is an internal school forum, not open to outsiders."

Kanzaki Ryuji thought about it and realized that if he held someone accountable, even if he found the person, he would still not be able to punish him severely.

"No matter what, we must first identify the specific person and make him admit his fault."

Hashima Hikaru glanced at his girlfriend with her brows drooping. At that moment, she looked like her soul had been sucked out. She had completely lost all her youthful vitality and just leaned blankly on the boy's shoulder.

"Besides that, I will ask the chairman to thoroughly investigate this matter. Once the truth is revealed, I will use the radio station to issue a clarification announcement."

Hikaru Hashima said seriously to the students in front of him, "Honomi's reputation is very important! Although there are less than 500 students in the three grades combined, everyone's memory will become the source of the spread. We must thoroughly understand it!"

"I understand what you mean, Hashima-san. What do you need us to do now?"

"Everyone, first gather intelligence on campus forums to see who might be the target, and then eliminate them one by one."

After giving the instructions, Hikaru Hashima helped his girlfriend up from the chair.

"Honami and I will go to the bedroom first. After we calm her down, we'll decide how to fight back."

"Understood!"

The five classmates looked at the boy's face seriously. What was most needed at this moment was unity.

Chapter 521: The past of Ichinose Honami.

In Hashima Hikaru's bedroom, Ichinose Honami buried her head in her boyfriend's chest, her body shaking constantly. It was obvious that this post had caused the girl a great mental shock.

"It's okay, I'm here, it's okay~"

The boy hugged the girl tightly and kept soothing her back, trying to transfer strength to her with his body.

"But...I really didn't do these things...Why do they say that?"

Ichinose Honami's eyes had already turned red, and tears flowed down her delicate face, soaking into Hashima Hikaru's chest.

"This is just a rumor. I believe Fan Bo has never done these things. You don't have to be too sad. Once I find this person, I will make him pay the price."

Hashima Hikaru's tone was very gentle. People say that words are as sharp as knives. At this moment, he understood the meaning of this sentence even more. Ichinose Honami was a girl who cared a lot about others. Such accusations naturally crossed her bottom line.

"So what should we do? If someone really believes that, it might also affect Hikari's opinion, right?"

The pink-haired girl suddenly thought of something very important. Hashima Hikaru is her boyfriend, and this post might affect his reputation.

"I don't care at all. It's just a rumor. If I cared about it, wouldn't that just be fulfilling the rumormonger's wish?"

Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly, "Don't worry about me, Honoki."

"But……"

Ichinose Honami raised her head and after seeing the tenderness on her boyfriend's face, she knew very well in her heart that he didn't care at all about the truth of these things and had complete trust in her.

"No buts, Fanbo and I are a couple. Even if it affects me, I will still stand by you."

"Well……"

Although Ichinose Honami was very touched, if all these were rumors, she would not be so upset, because there was one thing that was true, which was why she did not have the confidence to face this post.

Ichinose Honami feels that she cannot continue to hide it from her classmates or her boyfriend, with whom she has countless sweet memories.

"Does Guang really think this is all a rumor?"

Ichinose Honami was silent for a moment, staring straight into the other person's eyes.
