The next day, Yu Xiangnian went to school and did not see the bulletin board crowded with people as expected.
She walked over and took a look in confusion, but there was no handwritten statement.
Yu Xiangnian comforted himself, maybe he hadn't finished writing yet and would urge Duan Fangfang in the afternoon.
Before school ended in the afternoon, Yu Xiangnian and Wen Qiuning were called to the office by their head teacher.
Wen Qiuning knew the reason why she was called by the head teacher, but she didn't understand why Yu Xiangnian was called too.
Yu Xiangnian had a vague suspicion that Duan Fangfang had betrayed him.
The three of them walked into the office, and the head teacher Zhao Libo closed the door.
Zhao Libo said: "Pull up a chair and sit down. I must be tired from sitting after a day of classes!"
Yu Xiangnian was about to pull up the chair, "..."
To sit or not to sit?
Looking at Wen Qiuning again, his face was expressionless, his eyes were cold, and he stood straight.
Yu Xiangnian couldn't sit down either.
The two stood side by side about one meter in front of Zhao Libo.
Zhao Libo patted the table a few times, "What did you think you two did?!"
She pointed at Wen Qiuning and said angrily: "You said you, when the teacher wanted to help you, you didn't tell the truth. Now the matter has become big and the management office and the academic affairs office know about it. What should we do now?!"
She pointed at Yu Xiangnian and said angrily: "And you! You said that you are a student who engages in coercion, inducement, and bribery! Who taught you?"
"You two, if something goes wrong, you don't go to the teacher to resolve it through proper channels, and you want to resolve it secretly and privately. Do you have that much ability?"
Yu Xiangnian was already sure that Duan Fangfang had betrayed him.
She just wanted to know what Duan Fangfang told the school, and why she resorted to coercion, inducement, and bribery?
Yu Xiangnian said: "Teacher, I admit that I wanted to resolve this matter privately, but I did not use coercion, inducement, or bribery."
Zhao Libo glared at her and said, "Classmate Duan Fangfang has told the school truthfully. You are threatening her that if there is no evidence to prove Wen Qiuning, you will sue her for slander! And you also gave her a pair of gloves and asked her to write a statement to prove Wen Qiuning. That thing is a rumor! Tell me, have you ever done any of these things?"
Yu Xiangnian said weakly, "I did it, but I didn't coerce or bribe her. She said those things without evidence, which was slander. I just reminded her not to break the law. And I gave her gloves, which is Thanks to her for clearing Wen Qiuning's name, it has nothing to do with soliciting bribes."
"You are the only one who is sharp-tongued!"
Zhao Libo looked at the sharp-tongued one who was angry, and looked at the silent one who was even more angry.
Wen Qiuning has always looked cold from the moment she walked in, as if this matter had nothing to do with her!
"Wen Qiuning, you have nothing to say?" She glared at Wen Qiuning and said.
Wen Qiuning said calmly: "No."
Zhao Libo: "...You two, one is more confident than the other!"
Zhao Libo took two deep breaths, calmed down and said, "The school asked me to inform you two to reflect on it and truthfully write down the whole process of the matter, and hand it over to me next Monday."
Yu Xiangnian turned his head and glanced at Wen Qiuning. She was still cold and cold, and it was hard to tell what was going on in her heart.
Zhao Libo said: "If you don't say anything, I will treat it as if you agree. Leave it to me next Monday. You can go back and reflect on it!"
When the two were about to walk to the office, Zhao Libo stopped Wen Qiuning again.
"Wen Qiuning, Duan Fangfang assured the school that the incident about you is true. All the educated youth in the village know about it, and even asked the school to investigate. Don't take chances, just write it truthfully!"
It was almost time for school to end when the two of them walked out of the teaching building. They had a tacit understanding and did not go back to the classroom and walked towards the gate.
Yu Xiangnian scratched his head guiltily, "Wen Qiuning, I'm sorry. I went to see Duan Fangfang privately without consulting you. I didn't expect..."
Before he finished speaking, Wen Qiuning interrupted, "Thank you!"
In the office just now, when she heard that Yu Xiangnian secretly helped her solve this matter, her heart was touched.
For so many years, she was used to bearing everything alone, but she didn't expect that there was someone secretly helping her behind the scenes.
Yu Xiangnian felt even more guilty, "Thank you! I didn't help, but made the matter worse."
Wen Qiuning said: "I'm fine, but I'm just dragging you down."
Yu Xiangnian said carelessly: "I'm even finer! Is giving a pair of gloves to classmates a bribe? I'll sue her for slandering me!"
Wen Qiuning chuckled, "You are so funny."
The two walked a long way, and Yu Xiangnian said again: "Wen Qiuning, although I have never been an educated youth, I know a little about the life of an educated youth."
"Some unlucky educated youths will be assigned to remote and difficult mountain villages. Here they not only have to work in unfamiliar and harsh conditions, but also deal with ignorant villagers. What's more, they also have to deal with some greedy people. Bullying from lecherous people.”
"I don't know your past, but I know you. Sometimes, people have to make certain choices when they are desperate. I understand. You went through a lot of hard work to get into Beijing University. You definitely don't want to miss it just like that. ”
"What I want to say is that I really want to help you. If I can't help, I and my family will do their best to help you. You don't have to feel that you owe me, I volunteer! Our whole family volunteers!"
It might be raining again. The weather today is foggy and there is no sunshine.
Yu Xiangnian's little face was pink from the cold, and every time she said a word, there was a cloud of white air in front of her.
Wen Qiuning walked beside her, with a distance between them.
Wen Qiuning looked up at the sky, as if she saw the dazzling sunlight, which made her cry.
The sunlight seemed to penetrate her body and shine into her heart, bringing warmth.
Wen Qiuning whispered: "Thank you."
The two separated at the gate, Yu Xiangnian waited for the bus, and Wen Qiuning walked to the bookstore.
Yu Xiangnian didn't take the head teacher's words into her heart at all, she just did whatever she had to do.
The next day was Saturday. Lin Yunyi and Xiao Jiang were busy cooking, and Yu Xiangnian happily made a cake.
As soon as Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangyang walked to the door, they saw the brand new bicycle.
"Who bought the bicycle?" Yu Xiangyang asked confusedly, not remembering Cheng Jingmo's birthday, "Who did he buy it for?"
Cheng Jingmo wailed in his heart, "This prodigal bitch!"
