The place we agreed with Cao Aiqing was at a coffee shop outside the school.
He Tianran originally thought that he had arrived a little early and would have to wait for a while, but he didn't expect that he had just arrived at the door of the store. When he looked up, he saw Cao Aiqing already arriving at the edge of the open-air balcony on the second floor.
Entering the store, He Tianran calmly ordered a drink at the counter, got his number plate and went to the second floor.
This cafe is small, with a duplex structure and very stylish layout. Some of the interior decorations refer to the design of Western-style mansions. The ivy outside the door extends up along the masonry walls to the balcony, and on three edges of the balcony , many plants and flowers were planted, which look colorful and have natural beauty.
At this time, there were several student customers sitting on the balcony. When He Tianran came over, he seemed to hear Cao Aiqing's name mentioned in the conversation of several of the girls. It seemed that they should also be classmates at the University of Hong Kong.
Not far away from them, only Cao Aiqing was sitting there, which surprised He Tianran. He thought he would meet Shen Qiuxu alone or together. After all, Cao Aiqing's public opinion in the school was booming now. It's better to have someone by your side than alone. I guess this is one of the reasons why she made an appointment outside school.
He Tianran slowly sat down opposite Cao Aiqing, put the number plate in his hand on the table and asked:
"Senior Shen hasn't come yet?"
Cao Aiqing supported her chin with one hand, tilted her head, and stared at a yellow carnation on the balcony. Even when He Tianran arrived and asked her questions, the girl still did not turn her head, but replied coldly:
"No."
"...Is it because he didn't arrive, or because you didn't call?"
Hearing He Tianran's question again, Cao Aiqing turned around and looked at him squarely.
"He Tianran, if you have anything, you can ask me directly. I don't need you to help me after meeting Shen Qiuxu."
"..."
It seems that Cao Aiqing did not notify Shen Qiuxu of today's meeting at all.
The atmosphere between the two was slightly stagnant.
"Are you... afraid that I will test him like I did to Guo Huai? Don't you want to know how Shen Qiuxu views this matter behind his back?"
He Tianran paused for a moment and spoke bluntly.
The two people were so similar. He Tianran knew very well why Cao Aiqing was facing a recurrence of the incident. He looked calm and calm now.
"Ai Qing, I know that you have experienced something like this once, and you are less embarrassed the second time. But your mental toughness is only part of the reason. In fact, what you want to do more is to use this cyber violence incident to gain more confidence. Take a good look at the faces of the people around you. You know that I can't be the mastermind of this incident, but you still pushed Guo Huai to the library just because you wanted me to seduce him again. Otherwise, you wouldn't Ask me what his expression was at that time, right?"
The temptation of human nature, this is a common trick used by the two of them, and they understand each other tacitly.
He Tianran's clarification did not make Cao Aiqing feel any panic. The girl asked:
"After you asked Guo Huai to stay that day, you beat him up?"
"Did he tell you?"
"My friends in the student union told me that he went to a meeting with their student union members the next day with panda eyes."
Cao Aiqing spoke in an understatement, picked up the iced American style on the table, took a sip, and said:
"You shouldn't have hit him."
"Why?"
"Because it can easily give me the illusion that you hit him because of me. I don't want to have such thoughts, He Tianran, including the fact that you want to see Shen Qiuxu now."
At this time, the waiter brought a glass of iced cocoa, put it down and took away the number plate on the table.
He Tianran has always liked drinking cocoa, and this has never changed. It's just that the girl across from him who liked sweet things at the beginning has now started to drink bitter coffee.
"It seems you don't want to test this senior's humanity."
He Tianran smiled.
Cao Aiqing smoothed her hair on her temples and said, "I remember you said that people's hearts are biased. I agree with this."
He Tianran pondered for a moment and said naturally: "So this senior is your current preference?"
The girl looked away slightly and said playfully: "He Tianran, I'm very curious now about your mentality when you ask this question."
"What kind of mentality?" He Tianran raised his head and thought for a while, then said carefully: "I can't talk about blessings or anything like that, but seeing you living your life well makes a big part of my heart happy."
Cao Aiqing tapped his fingers twice on the table and replied: "So now I prefer myself, but Shen Qiuxu is an outsider, and I don't want him to have anything to do with this matter."
He Tianran asked no more questions and nodded: "Okay, since you believe him, I won't care about him anymore. But now that we have met, I can tell you in person some of the clues I have found recently. "
Cao Aiqing was stunned: "Have you made any substantial progress?"
"Maybe, but before that, I have to figure out some things..."
"Then let's talk about it. If you are an outsider this time as you said, then I'd really like to know what you found out in the past two or three days."
Cao Aiqing leaned forward and put on a listening posture. You must know that the shadow this incident caused to her was too great. Although it was finally known that the real culprit behind the scenes was He Tianran, it was already many years later. Something happened.
He Tianran also straightened his posture and said slowly: "First of all, please allow me to take back what I said before. Although I have always emphasized that the occurrence of this incident is different from the incident in which I framed you in another timeline, but I gradually I discovered that, in fact, there may be some common purpose between the two of them, and this is the key to its occurrence."
Cao Aiqing was puzzled: "What common purpose?"
"I don't have any evidence yet, so let me ask you another question first. Do you still remember what the forum said about you?"
"Of course I remember, they said that when I was in high school, I pretended to be a virgin in front of others, but behind others..." At this point, Cao Aiqing paused. Maybe it touched her own wound, which made her a little uncomfortable. She took a breath and said calmly: " The queen is really green tea, and although the whistleblower did not reveal the real names of the boys I rejected, I can really think of a few based on their descriptions."
"now it's right."
"What?"
He Tianran said calmly: "Rumors don't need to be too true. Five points are true and five points are false. If it's too outrageous, others won't believe it. But if it's too true, the more you ask, the easier it will be to find out. I posted a fishing post anonymously on the forum that day, you can take a look."
After that, He Tianran took out his mobile phone, opened the HKU Forum app and handed it to Cao Aiqing.
This post went viral very quickly, with only 11 or 12 replies, but the question actually asked in the post is very interesting, and its title is——
"I don't believe that classmate Cao has cheated on so many men, because she has never cheated on me!!"
Anonymous poster: People say that Cao Aiqing from the Department of Architecture is a teabag, but I am also from the Department of Architecture, and I meet her every day in class. Today I even praised her voice on the radio for being nice, but little did I know that I have been listening to her radio since my freshman year. I have been secretly in love with her for three years, and her "Voice of the Campus" is not falling every time. Why doesn't she come to cheer me up! ! How could she be so aloof and cold-blooded that she has been flirting with men since high school! (angry) (angry) (crying)
Reply from the first floor: Simple, is the poster He Tianran? Why not just climb up early~
Reply from the second floor: There have been more and more people playing in the Minato area recently, and some people believe such stupid rumors (laughs)
Reply from the third floor: Do you dare to reveal your student ID and let me see if you are from our architecture department? I suspect you may be my dead roommate (dog head)
Reply on the fourth floor: After all, Cao Aiqing's conditions are there, and not everyone can enter her fish pond. I heard that the people she hangs up are all from good families.
——Reply from the original poster: My family background is pretty good too! But she didn't even look at me. Am I too low-key? (crying loudly)
——Reply from the fourth floor: Does anyone else want to congratulate the young master on his family situation? (squinting)
——Reply from the original poster: That's not true...but if He Tianran is just one person, it actually doesn't mean much. Even a woman would like this kind of honest and friendly rich second generation, right? ! And it seems that Cao Aiqing University is the subject of such a scandal? To say that she is the queen of the sea and has hanged so many men is indeed a bit unconvincing, I don’t believe it!
——Reply from the fourth floor: You’re stupid, because you can’t find someone better than He Tianran. Didn’t that leak post also expose several other rich second generations? This was all in high school.
——The original poster’s reply: It has been deleted and cannot be seen. And where are so many rich second generations coming from?
——Fourth floor reply: As mentioned in the post, in their high school class there was a son of a Hong Kong fishery king who confessed to Cao Aiqing.
——Reply from the original poster: There are so many fishery kings in Hong Kong City, who knows which one they are talking about, and it is such a coincidence that the second generation of rich people are all around Mr. Cao.
——Reply from the fourth floor: Maybe it’s just such a coincidence? If you don’t believe it, forget it~
Reply from the fifth floor: The person above is just talking nonsense. The post that broke the news didn’t mention anything about the rich second generation of the aquatic products king. He really just said it.
So far, the user on the fourth floor has not spoken again. After Cao Aiqing took in all the content, when he raised his eyes to look at He Tianran again, his expression became a little different...
"This fishery king refers to..."
He Tianran stretched out and said with a smile, "Who else could it be? My classmate is a rich second generation. His family is engaged in aquatic products business. There is no one else except Brother Xiaoyong..."
Brother Xiaoyong, Xue Yong.
When He Tianran posted such a message on his fishing post, he was also puzzled...
"Why, did Brother Xiaoyong confess to you in this timeline? Didn't he like Wen at first..."
He Tianran's words suddenly stopped because he realized that in this world, Wen Liang had completely disappeared, and out of the two school beauties in Class 2 of the third year, only Cao Aiqing remained...
Cao Aiqing recalled: "Yes, and I still remember it freshly, because he confessed to three different girls in one day. I was one of them, the other two were Ye Jiaqi, and the other was from another class. of."
Hearing about Xue Yong's old friend Xue Yong's sex work, He Tianran was very happy for so many days. He said:
"Brother Xiao Yong is very good at playing. What about Bai Tingting?"
Cao Aiqing lowered his head, held He Tianran's cell phone, and replied:
"Tingting also liked him, but in this timeline, you, Guo Huai, me and Tingting formed a four-person study group. Tingting had little contact with him, and faced Xue Yong's cynicism, She also quickly let go of Xue Yong. As for what happened to Xue Yong, I don’t know very well. It’s just that he failed the college entrance examination that year without Tingting’s help..."
"I returned it twice, and I didn't get admitted to college until this year."
He Tianran added.
Cao Aiqing was a little surprised: "Do you still have contact with him?"
"It's...Jiang Xixi." He Tianran tapped his temple: "I have memories. Xue Yong stayed in grade for two years, and finally studied in the same class as Jiang Xixi. The little girl told me this thing."
Cao Aiqing was slightly silent, and then she said: "Then what should we do now?"
He Tianran stretched out his hand: "Can you return the phone to me?"
"Wait a moment."
"..."
Cao Aiqing continued to flip through his phone and opened all the historical posting records of He Tianran on the forum, only to see the above display——
"Cao Aiqing can't be green tea, I prove it! I give proof!"
"Why do you want to frame my goddess? I'm so sad..."
"Why didn't He Tianran stand up and testify for classmate Cao? Is there really something hidden in it?"
"Isn't Cao Aiqing really a green tea drinker?"
"I don't like Cao Aiqing anymore. I didn't expect her to be such a person! Angry!"
…
This Qing Yishui fishing post looks like the process of a Cao Aiqing admirer gradually turning into a hate fan...
Cao Aiqing had a subtle expression on her face, holding her cell phone and asked: "Are you helping me, or are you hacking me?"
He Tianran wiped his nose, picked up the cocoa on the table, pretended to take a sip, and explained: "Fishing posts, you have to cast a wide net to catch fish."
The girl returned the phone to her, and the man continued to explain:
"I asked Guo Huai to help me check the student ID and IP on the fourth floor. As you know, registering for our school forum requires a student ID. One person has one code, and authentication is required. But the IP on the fourth floor shows that it is from abroad, and the student ID is If you can't find out, this is obviously a forum that came in through the back door, which shows that in fact, someone is deliberately hacking you, but the number is not large, and the intensity has been maintained at a level that can maintain the topic discussion."
"Just like you did before."
Cao Aiqing sneered.
He Tianran did not respond to the other party's ridicule. He made a call and put the phone to his ear.
"Hey~ Brother He! Are you calling today because you were rejected by Sister Cao?"
Jiang Xixi's voice of surprise came from the receiver, but this opening statement made He Tianran burst into laughter.
"No, no, Xixi, I want to ask you something. That Xue Yong from your class, do you know which university he went to?"
The other party paused for a while, "Huh? Uh... I know, it seems that the University of Nottingham is in the university town."
"Ah... thank you, Xixi, I have something to do with him."
He Tianran thought for a while, University of Nottingham? Isn't this the school Xie Yanyan went to?
After hanging up the phone, the man chuckled softly: "Hey, isn't this a coincidence..."
"What did you say?"
Cao Aiqing across from him didn't hear what he said clearly. He Tianran stood up and said to her:
"Xue Yong, this kid, didn't pass the police academy, but went to the foreign school next door to us. I want to see him now, you..."
"I will go with you."
"ah?"
Before He Tianran could finish speaking, Cao Aiqing had already stood up on his own initiative. He put his hair that had been scattered around his shoulders back behind his head after sitting down. He arranged his hands twice, pulled down the hair rope on his wrist and wrapped it around his hair, tying it up. Get a neat ponytail.
After she walked forward for a while, she realized that He Tianran was stunned in place. She tilted her head and said:
"Let's go, this is my business anyway, of course I have to participate."
