Xiyan stood at the doorway, watching as the entire class burst out laughing together.
Clenching the straps of her backpack, the smile that was initially on her face gradually faded away.
Laugh, laugh all you want! Foolish humans!
You don't have even the slightest clue about the truth!
Disregarding the people around her, Xiyan calmly walked in, even humming a little tune as she picked an empty seat in the back row where no one was sitting.
It was as if she hadn't heard all the ridicule from earlier—a ntal fortitude that was utterly solid.
She's doing it again!
Seated at the front, Xia Shiyi glared at Xiyan angrily. Instead of upsetting Xia Xiyan, she'd managed to work herself into a rage.
The thing she hated most was this particular deanor of Xia Xiyan!
What's with the pretense of being so magnanimous?
She refused to believe that a woman with a ruined face, being called ugly by so many people, wouldn't feel angry.
Surely, inside, she'd already exploded with rage, feigning indifference on the surface.
Such a hypocritical and disgusting woman!

When the class ended, Xiyan got up to head to the restroom.
Sigh, no friends, not even soone to accompany her to the restroom. Pathetic, isn't it?
She could only hope that An Ran and Ruge would hurry up and co keep her company.
Lost in scattered thoughts, Xiyan turned a corner and descended the stairs...
Only to suddenly bump into soone the next second.
Looking up, Xiyan imdiately felt exasperated. "Xia Shiyi, what now? If you're here to mock , save your energy. I don't have ti to exchange barbs with you. Bye~"
As she spoke, Xiyan attempted to step around her.
Xia Shiyi grabbed Xiyan's arm and glared at her, clearly agitated. "Xia Xiyan, you'd better confess right here and now what your relationship with Ou Jue really is. Otherwise, I'll have soone break your legs!"
"What my relationship with him is has nothing to do with you," Xiyan retorted.
"Still playing dumb, huh?" Xia Shiyi snarled, her face twisting slightly in fury. "Let warn you—don't take kindness for granted. Ou Jue will be my boyfriend in the future. Stay away from him!"
"I-don't-care!" Xiyan replied with a teasing grin, deliberately goading her. "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you—Ou Jue and I see each other every day. Even his younger brother absolutely adores !"
"You—!" Xia Shiyi, her anger boiling over, raised her hand as if to slap Xiyan. But before she could, Xiyan caught her wrist and flung it aside.
Slap ? Keep dreaming!
At that mont, there was the sound of voices below the staircase—students chatting and laughing as they walked up.
Xia Shiyi suddenly let out a scream and staggered backward in quick retreat. "Ah—!"
With a piercing cry, Xia Shiyi tumbled down the staircase.
No way...
Xiyan was dumbfounded. How had this happened? She hadn't even pushed her!
"Oh my god, what just happened?"
"Shiyi, Shiyi..."
"Hurry up, get her to the hospital!"
The surrounding students erupted into chaos.
Supported by a group of classmates, Xia Shiyi sat up slowly. Tears glistened in her eyes as she looked pitifully at Xiyan. "Xia... why did you push ?"
For a mont, Xiyan's mind went blank. She could only instinctively deny it. "You're lying! I didn't push you!"
"Still denying it? We all saw it with our own eyes!"
"That's right. You pushed Shiyi down the staircase! We saw it clearly!"
"I can't believe soone as ugly as you can have such a wicked heart! Are you jealous of Shiyi for being prettier than you?"
Voices of indignation filled the air as the crowd rallied for Xia Shiyi.
anwhile, Xia Shiyi, covered in injuries, held her face and wept pitifully. Yet, when she heard the voices accusing Xiyan, the corners of her lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.
