After leaving the forum, Wen Nian lay on her bed, contemplating the situation. Naturally, Huang Yue became the first person she suspected. Their recent falling out and the fact that Huang Yue had been observing their interactions made her a prime candidate for spreading rumors.

She knew that Huang Yue’s intention was to disturb her and create chaos in her life. However, due to her past experiences and growth, she was able to maintain a level of composure and resilience. She realized that if she hadn’t gone through the trials and tribulations of her previous life, she would have been greatly affected by these rumors and attacks on her character.

And now, this was mere child’s play to her. Wen Nian ultimately made the decision to disregard it. Regardless, she intended to proceed with her plans of going to the capital after the exam. By not responding, she believed this issue wouldn’t gain popularity and would instead persist.

The next day, Wen Nian went to school as usual.

As Wen Nian approached the entrance of Class Two, the once bustling classroom suddenly hushed into silence.

Despite the appearance of everyone engrossed in their books, Wen Nian could sense the subtle gazes directed towards her.

Wen Nian brushed off those curious and prying gazes, paying them no mind. When he noticed Huang Yue provocatively looking at him, a faint smile formed at the corners of his lips as he calmly made his way to his seat.

As the time for morning reading approached, Shen Jun entered the classroom punctually.

Instantly, everyone averted their gaze from the back row. Even though their eyes had already shifted, Shen Jun still sensed a peculiar atmosphere lingering in the room.

Shen Jun turned his gaze towards Wen Nian, his curiosity evident as he asked, “Don’t you think there’s something peculiar about the atmosphere in the classroom?”

Wen Nian, not wanting Shen Jun to be distracted, responded in their usual tone, “No, you’re overthinking it.”

Having learned her lesson from previous experiences, Wen Nian refrained from changing the topic. After uttering those words, she shifted her gaze to her textbook, focusing on memorizing Chinese and poetry.

Seeing this, Shen Jun also began to do his own thing.

Upon completing the final test at 530 pm, everyone rushed back to the classroom with excitement to pack their schoolbags. From this moment onward, the high school students of Hai City officially embarked on a winter break period of over a month.

“I feel suffocated. My mother has set a rule that I can only play games during the holidays. So, tonight, 1 must indulge in gaming all night long!”

“It’s finally the holidays! My parents told me that we’re going to Yangcheng for a vacation this year! The mere thought of it fills me with excitement!”

“Tang Tang, let’s head to University Town tonight for a snack. Let’s not go home.”

“Good suggestion! 1’11 call home and tell them!”

People were either standing or sitting together, engrossed in packing up their belongings while discussing their plans for the winter break. The classroom was filled with a lively and bustling atmosphere. In the midst of it all, a woman and two men suddenly emerged at the front door of Class Two.

“Hello, students. We are reporters from the school newspaper. My name is Shen Xin. 1 would like to interview Wen Nian. Could you kindly let me know where Wen Nian is seated?” Shen Xin’s clear voice cut through the clamor of the crowd.

All eyes turned towards Shen Xin, and then instinctively shifted their gaze towards Wen Nian. A sense of anticipation filled the air as they had a collective premonition of what was about to unfold.

Having done her homework beforehand, Shen Xin followed the collective gaze and immediately recognized Wen Nian at a glance.

Shen Xin swiftly approached, wearing a smile, and said, “Hello, Wen Nian. I would like to conduct an interview with you.”

Wen Nian returned the smile and responded, “I’m sorry, but I’m in a rush to go home after the exam. I won’t be able to grant you the interview.”

Shen Jun observed Shen Xin silently from the side, his gaze shifting to Wen Nian with a sense of unease. A foreboding sensation crept over him as he noticed the composed demeanor of Wen Nian.

It was a rare occurrence for No. 1 High School to have such significant news, and Shen Xin didn’t want to miss out on it. If she could uncover more information, she might even become the next editor of the school newspaper.

Shen Xin, aspiring to join the journalism department at Media College, recognized the value such a school-related experience would add to her resume. Upon hearing Wen Nian’s rejection, her immediate response was to persuade her. “I’ll only need 10 minutes of your time. If the information on the forum is false, you can use our school newspaper to set the record straight. Wouldn’t that be beneficial for you?”

Huang Yue leaned forward and added, “Reporter Shen Xin has a point, Wen Nian. If you refuse to be interviewed, it might raise suspicions about the validity of the claims made on the middle school forum. Is there any truth to those rumors?”

As soon as she said this, the classroom fell silent.

Everyone’s attention heightened, their ears perked up with anticipation. They hadn’t anticipated such a commotion right before the school holidays. Curiosity surged among them as they eagerly yearned to uncover the truth.

Wen Nian rose to her feet and met the gaze of Huang Yue, whose face was filled with malicious intent, and Shen Xin, who sought to extract more sensational news from her. A smile unexpectedly emerged on Wen Nian’s otherwise expressionless face.

Li Xiang, who had been attentively observing the conversation between the two parties and eagerly waiting to capture the moment, swiftly pressed the shutter of his camera.

As Li Xiang looked at the vibrant and lively young girl captured in his camera, he found it difficult to associate her with the allegations of engaging in sexual favors with the director..
