What makes Zhao Xinxin even more difficult to accept and understand is that the academy actually launched a formal investigation for such an insignificant matter!
At the very beginning, Zhao Xinxin thought that the reason why the academy would investigate this matter might be because someone had taken the initiative to report it after all, and it would be inappropriate if they ignored it completely.
Therefore, she felt that even if the academy launched an investigation, it would at most just put on a show and show its attitude, which could be regarded as an explanation to the whistleblower.
But when the college's investigation gradually deepened, and more and more students were involved, Zhao Xinxin suddenly understood that the college was just pretending, and it was simply to use this incident to conduct a thorough investigation, okay Let's make an example of others!
If this matter happened to someone else, Zhao Xinxin might not care about it at all, and would even sneer at it, but when this matter happened to him, the situation is completely different.
In the past few days, Zhao Xinxin has been feeling uneasy about this matter, and as more and more students were investigated, and the results of the investigation were getting closer to the root cause, the uneasiness became more intense.
When the rumors spread before, Zhao Xinxin only told one person about the incident for the sake of caution.
This man was named Zhu Ming, who was not only her admirer, but also her classmate when she was in the junior college.
However, the reason why Zhao Xinxin chose Zhu Ming was that besides the fact that the other party has been flattering and flattering her all the time, there was another very important reason. This guy is famous for his big mouth in class. If he knows about it, it can basically spread in the class and even the whole college.
In fact, Zhao Xinxin had made use of this point before and asked Zhu Ming to help her spread rumors several times, and she was very satisfied with the results each time.
Because of this, when she planned to attack An Yan, she confirmed the plan without much hesitation, and then used Zhu Ming to turn the plan into reality.
According to the speed at which the rumor spread afterwards, she did not choose the wrong partner, but the question now is whether his big mouth will be displayed in another way during the investigation and become the source of betrayal.
At first, Zhao Xinxin was not that worried. After all, based on how much this person likes her, even if all his credits are deducted, he will not betray him.
However, during the investigation process, more and more students confessed their friends without hesitation, and there were even cases of random grabbing and biting, so Zhao Xinxin had to worry.
No matter how much this person likes him, but when the matter is related to his own interests, how much can this love be
Zhao Xinxin herself is a selfish person, and she naturally thinks that everyone is like this when looking at others, so the more she thinks about it, the more worried she becomes, and the more she thinks, the more she feels that as long as this matter is investigated on that person, the other party will definitely not hesitate Sell yourself out.
At this time, a classmate who had a good relationship with Zhao Xinxin found her and said gossipingly, "Xinxin, have you heard? The instigator of this rumor is actually Zhu Ming. I have gossiped about An Yan, but I didn't expect him to be the one who spread the rumors."
Zhao Xinxin was worried about this matter at first, but when she heard these words, she felt a thump in her heart, and said with an unnatural expression, "Really?"
The classmate nodded, pretending to be puzzled and said: "Yes, why do you think Zhu Ming would do such a thing? He had nothing to do with An Yan before, so why would he deliberately spread rumors to slander his classmates?"
Zhao Xinxin's complexion became even uglier: "I don't know too well."
"Do you think you made a mistake?" The classmate took a peek at Zhao Xinxin and frowned, "Maybe Zhu Ming isn't the one spreading rumors at all, maybe he just heard what others said, so he followed suit." How many words are not sure?"
Zhao Xinxin was a little speechless, she said with a displeased face, "I don't want to discuss this matter anymore."
The classmate nodded, stretched his brows and said, "Then we won't discuss it, anyway, Zhu Ming will be under investigation soon, and then we will know what's going on."
Zhao Xinxin's expression tensed instantly: "You said Zhu Ming will be investigated soon?"
The classmate nodded: "That's right, I only found out about it when I heard that he was going to be investigated."
Zhao Xinxin's face changed a few times, and finally left in a hurry without saying anything.
Walking to a secluded place, Zhao Xinxin immediately dialed Zhu Ming's communication, and the communication was connected after only one ring.
Just finished being investigated by the college, Zhu Ming's mental state is very bad now, but seeing that it was Zhao Xinxin who called, he immediately adjusted his state, and said softly: "Xinxin, why are you..."
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Xinxin's sharp voice: "Where are you now?"
Zhu Ming could hear the tension in Zhao Xinxin's tone, and subconsciously asked, "Xinxin, did you encounter any unpleasant things? No matter what happens, you can..."
However, this time, he was interrupted ruthlessly again, and in exchange Zhao Xinxin questioned even more impatiently: "I asked where are you now? Can't you understand me!"
Zhao Xinxin can't pay attention to other things at all now, she is only thinking that she must meet Zhu Ming before he is under investigation, and then prevent the other party from betraying her.
Zhu Ming was slightly taken aback by Zhao Xinxin's questioning words, and his already bad mood suddenly dropped again, but he still tried his best to control his tone, and replied: "I'm on my way to the dormitory now."
Since he was on his way to the dormitory, he should not have been investigated yet. Zhao Xinxin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't go back to the dormitory. I need to find you. We'll see you at the old place. You go over immediately."
"Okay." Zhu Ming never refuses Zhao Xinxin's request, and this time is no exception.
The "old place" that Zhao Xinxin refers to is a very remote cafe outside the college, usually with few customers.
The reason why Zhao Xinxin chose to meet in such a place was naturally because she didn't want others to see her staying with Zhu Ming.
Ten minutes later, Zhao Xinxin walked into the cafe, and Zhu Ming was already waiting at the corner.
Seeing Zhao Xinxin walking in, Zhu Ming hurriedly got up and prepared to meet him, but Zhao Xinxin had already walked over quickly, and at the same time asked straight to the point: "You haven't accepted the investigation by the academy, have you?"
Zhu Ming was slightly taken aback by the question, his eyes flickered a few times, then he forced a smile and shook his head: "No, the academy can't find me, don't worry."
The reason why Zhu Ming said this was because he didn't want Zhao Xinxin to worry, because even if the academy found out about him, he would never betray Xinxin.
Instead of letting her worry and feel sad with him, it's better to take everything on her own.
But to Zhao Xinxin, this was not the case at all. She thought that Zhu Ming was really planning to betray her, so she deliberately concealed it, so as not to be exposed on the spot.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xinxin is of course very angry, but now is the most critical time, and she can't vent her temper directly like before, so she can only calm down and try her best to calm down and say: "Zhu Ming, I know that this incident may have had some bad influence on you, but I really didn't mean to say those things to you at the beginning, and I didn't expect this incident to be spread by you."
Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Zhao Xinxin meant.
When Zhao Xinxin first spoke, she might feel a little guilty, but as she talked, she felt more and more that what she said was right.
At that time, she just complained to Zhu Ming. If Zhu Ming hadn't been unable to control his mouth and deliberately spread those words to the outside world, the matter would not have become what it is now.
So in the final analysis, Zhu Ming can only blame Zhu Ming for not being strict enough.
The more Zhao Xinxin thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case, and her tone of voice became more righteous: "So why did you spread those words on purpose? Did you intend to harm me?"
At this time Zhu Ming was completely stunned. He understood Zhao Xinxin's meaning now, but he couldn't understand and accept it at all.
Just about half an hour ago, he had just been investigated by the academy, and Zhao Xinxin was not mentioned a word during the process.
Even in order not to worry her, he didn't intend to tell the other party about it, but he never expected that his forbearance and persistence would end up with such malicious questions in exchange for it.
At this time, Zhu Ming was even a little dazed. In his memory, Zhao Xinxin was always noble and reserved. Although she also had her own petty temper, these petty tempers were also the cutest in Zhu Ming's eyes. .
Until this moment, seeing Zhao Xinxin's eyes full of accusations and hearing her questioning words, Zhu Ming realized for the first time how wrong his thinking was.
No matter how noble and reserved the person standing in front of him was, she was clearly the best synonym for selfishness and viciousness.
I still remember that a few days ago, when Zhao Xinxin deliberately slandered An Yan in front of him, although he knew Zhao Xinxin's small thoughts very well, he subconsciously and subjectively excused her, just like every time before.
Later, this matter was reported to the college by An Yan. Although Zhu Ming was worried, he never thought of involving Zhao Xinxin.
All of this was done voluntarily by him, no one could be blamed, and Xinxin has always cared about her own reputation, so how could he affect her because of this incident
He was still thinking at the time, when this matter was completely over, would Xinxin's attitude towards him change
Even if it is still impossible to accept yourself, at least when you communicate with yourself, you can avoid other people so much, right
It's a pity that his idea has just come into being, before he even had time to think about it, the reality poured cold water on him.
This basin of cold water not only extinguished his previous unrealistic fantasies, but also extinguished all his admiration and accommodating towards Zhao Xinxin.
It wasn't until this moment that he fully realized how stupid he was before. Maybe in Zhao Xinxin's eyes, he wasn't even a clown
But at this moment, he didn't feel anger and despair, only a strong sense of irony, irony to himself.
He closed his eyes and chased behind Zhao Xinxin for so long, neither looking nor listening, thinking that this would shield him from all harm, but in the end he realized that all of this was just his own fantasy.
Zhu Ming heard himself speak calmly: "Xinxin, do you really think so?"
Zhao Xinxin didn't know Zhu Ming's inner drama, raised his chin slightly and said confidently: "Isn't it? I was in a bad mood at the time, so I said a few words casually. If you couldn't control your own mouth, how could things happen?" Pass it like this?"
Zhu Ming inexplicably wanted to laugh: "So at the time you said so convincingly that An Yan cheated in the entrance exam, and also used unscrupulous means to curry favor with the brothers of the Cheng family. From your point of view, it was just a few casual words ?”
Zhao Xinxin's gaze couldn't help but dodge: "I... I said that because I was too angry at the time, but who knew you would believe it. Anyway, the main responsibility for this matter is on you, so I will say that you are safe. The bad things about the rumors were only told to you alone, you were the one who spread the rumors, and in the end, everyone in other colleges knew about it, so you can only blame yourself for spreading gossip.”
Zhu Ming smiled wryly: "Is it true that I like to spread gossip? Don't you realize that I did all this for you?"
"Don't shirk your responsibility here!" Of course, Zhao Xinxin couldn't accept this blame, she snapped, "Even if I did tell you this time, what happened before? You used to spread rumors everywhere, Everyone knows this!"
Zhu Ming lowered his head slightly, his voice full of bitterness: "If I didn't do this, how would you remember my existence? Every time you think of me, isn't it because you want me to spread rumors for you?"
Zhu Ming is indeed a big mouth in everyone's eyes, and he likes to spread everything to the outside world, but he was not like that at first.
It was when Zhao Xinxin accidentally heard Zhao Xinxin complaining about another classmate that he thought of a possibility like an epiphany.
If he can help Zhao Xinxin, will she be able to see herself
From then on, he gradually became a big mouth in everyone's eyes, and it was also from then on that he had the opportunity to get close to Zhao Xinxin.
At that time, he was still complacent about his cleverness, until now he realized how stupid and ridiculous his behavior was.
Hurt others and fool yourself.
