[1L: That guy looks so foxy. I've seen her walking closely with their homeroom teacher several times. Who knows...]

[2L: Is the person upstairs right? She's a top student, isn't it normal for teachers to like her?]

[3L: Of course! Those male teachers in our school...don't think too highly of their character. In private, they're all actually...tsk, tsk, tsk!]

[4L: Eh! Really?]

[5L: Otherwise? Why do you think the campus belle dropped out of school and went home? She exhausted her vital energy! Here are the pictures, see for yourself.]

Multiple image links.

[6L: Holy crap! My values are destroyed! Where did you get the pictures upstairs? Aren't they photoshopped?]

[7L: Photoshop isn't this clear?]

...

[1001L: I'm going! Are these people so dirty?]

[1002L: Offering a lot of money for eyes that haven't seen this! Crap, I'm blind!]

Mingmei returned to the shop and told Yuan Fang to lock up and leave when it was time to get off work, while she herself went back to her residence in a daze.

"Those things you showed me...in the forum, are they real?"

Mingmei lay on the bed, tossing and turning, looking at the various gossip being discussed in the forum about students and teachers, students and students, and other strange news, which made her feel that the world was so magical.

She could accept individual cases, but she couldn't accept that it was all like this.

[Some are true, some... Host, you understand, are just rumors. In order to attract attention or to vent emotions, their school's internal network is anonymous, making them even more unscrupulous.]

"How many of the people they talk about have committed suicide because of it?"

Gui Gui was rendered speechless by Mingmei's question.

Mingmei slowly closed her eyes, she couldn't help but think about what happened before she transmigrated.

At that time, the people around her said the same thing, that her family had produced a useless person like her...

Even if her younger sister beat them up every time she heard it, and her mother even took down the plaques of two sects for this, there were still people who ridiculed her in private.

"Meimei is not useless. Not having spiritual roots has given her an incomparably strong body, not having spiritual roots has still given her longevity. The world is more envious of this kind of existence."

A gentle male voice pulled Mingmei's memory back to reality. Mingmei opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, blinking ignorantly, and couldn't help but touch her chest.

It seemed like there was something she couldn't remember.

"When we were checking the faculty and staff information just now, were there any teachers who were fired two years ago?"

After sorting out the inexplicable emotions in her heart, Mingmei began to re-analyze the previous investigation data.

Previously, Mingmei only focused on the list of deaths, until the forum finally mentioned the death of that top student, saying that their homeroom teacher also resigned afterwards.

[Yes.] Gui Gui also had memories, [I took a screenshot.]

Mingmei: ??

[Although I can't directly access this information, I took a screenshot when you looked at it.]

Mingmei: ...

So, what was the point of her painstakingly memorizing all the content?

"What was the reason for that person's dismissal?"

[The student's death in the class was blown out of proportion, causing irreparable damage to the school's reputation.]

This reason was not that the person was fired due to moral issues, as Mingmei had imagined.

"But, I remember Yuan Fang and the others said that this person died in a fire at the school... If he had been fired long ago, why did he die at the school when the school caught fire?!"

Mingmei suddenly sat up from the bed, her eyes staring blankly, as if asking herself, "Why would Yuan Fang and the others know who died in the fire?!"

...

"What the hell?!"

Zhen Hu, who made up an excuse not to go home and work overtime, grabbed two bottles of beer and dragged Julian away from going home as well. The two bought a bunch of barbecue skewers and returned to the top floor of the office building. They drank beer and ate skewers in the clear breeze and moonlight.

Then, after two sips of beer, Julian told Zhen Hu about Mona's unusual feelings for him.

"What the hell?!?!"

Zhen Hu, shouting twice in a row, immediately put down his wine, grabbed Julian in front of him, and widened his eyes, "You're not lying to me, are you? Let me tell you, although our class specializes in physical skills, we're not the kind of idiots whose brains are full of muscles! Don't try to fool me!"

"Why would I lie to you? Haven't you felt her closeness to you? Can't you see the fanaticism in her eyes for you?"

Having already confirmed that Lillian would join them in dealing with Mona, and seeing Zhen Hu avoiding Lillian so much, Julian told him everything.

He just didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so big.

"Wait... you all knew about this except for me?"

"Wasn't it because you still contacted Mona frequently? We were afraid you'd give it away."

"You're not afraid now?"

"It's going to end in two or three days." Julian said, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Then what's the use of me knowing now?"

Unlike Julian, who breathed a sigh of relief, Zhen Hu directly poured himself another bottle of wine, expressing that his heart was complicated after learning this news.

"Of course, it's useful."

Julian thought about what Mu Chen originally meant—this was going to use Zhen Hu as bait.

Seeing Julian's increasingly strange gaze towards him, Zhen Hu's intuition told him that they were planning to trick him.

"Since Mona has such feelings for you..."

"No, I don't accept it." Before Julian could finish speaking, Zhen Hu refused first, "Those are wrong feelings, and I can't respond casually."

"It's just to let you use this to make her lower her guard."

Julian didn't expect Zhen Hu to drop the ball at this time.

"But there's Lillian helping, why do we have to deceive her feelings? What do I have to do to make her lower her guard? It's so obvious to deceive a little girl."

"Little girl? You think she's a little girl?" Julian almost laughed, "A Boss in a game, do you know how twisted her psychology is?"

"But, isn't her distortion because she misunderstood feelings from the beginning, distorted other people's attitudes and emotions towards her, and then became more and more trapped?"

Julian was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhen Hu's words.

"Everyone isn't born a bad person, right?

Moreover, she's still so young. Part of the reason she became like this is her own personality, and the other part is related to the guidance of outsiders. It's because no one told her that her understanding of other people's attitudes and emotions was wrong; no one told her how to correctly experience those emotional attitudes. That's why she has been using the wrong cognition to interpret the world and misunderstand other people's kindness to her... It's all because of the adults' negligence and carelessness that she became like this?"

As Zhen Hu spoke, he only felt his mind becoming more and more clear, without the slightest bit of drunkenness. He looked at Julian seriously and said:

"We can't abandon our own principles just because she was originally a bad person. In my opinion, if she really has feelings for me that cross the line, I think I should tell her frankly that she is wrong."
