The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Yi Yao naturally noticed something was wrong as well, feeling that everyone was looking at her strangely wherever she went.

But she had almost no friends at school or in her class, so naturally no one told her what had happened.

To be honest, Yi Yao was somewhat insecure and withdrawn. Other students her age, even the more introverted ones, usually had one or two friends they could talk to at school.

However, perhaps Zhao Shucheng's words had an effect, because those people only gossiped behind Yi Yao's back and didn't say anything to her face or gang up on her. It was much better than the situation in Yi Yao's original story.

Although no one told her, a few words from others had given Yi Yao a clue. She knew who had started the rumor, but she didn't know how to deal with it.

Yi Yao felt as if the gazes directed at her were tentacles, tightly binding her. She was surrounded, swallowed up, and there was no way to break free.

This continued until school was over. Zhao Shucheng came to her side and said, "Yi Yao, school's over, let's go!"

Yi Yao then came to her senses. It seemed that in the vast sea of ​​people, only this person would say to her, "School's out, hey, wanna go home together?"

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time for the training camp. Suddenly, there were a few fewer people in the class, especially Zhao Shucheng's departure, which made Yi Yao feel empty and isolated.

"Have you heard about what happened to Yi Yao from Class 1?"

"I heard about it. I never thought that a girl like that could get that kind of disease."

"That's easy. He looks honest, but he's actually quite the artist in private."

"It can't be that bad. She seems quite honest to me, and she and Qi Ming are always together."

"That's hard to say. Some people seem innocent on the outside, but are actually quite lewd. The more proper they appear on the outside, the more promiscuous they might be in private."

"Then do you think Gu Senxiang might also...?"

"Maybe!"

"bump!"

The boys, who were having a lively discussion, were suddenly interrupted by a basketball flying towards them. They turned around and saw Gu Senxi picking up the basketball, and said, "Gu Senxi, are you crazy? Can't you see someone?"

"Sorry, I really didn't see anyone here..."

They didn't think much of it at first, but when they saw the faint smile on Gu Senxi's lips, they were completely dumbfounded, not realizing that Gu Senxi was doing it on purpose.

Those people wanted to argue a bit more, but to their surprise, Gu Senxi ignored them completely and turned away.

Someone, unwilling to accept defeat, tried to chase after him, but was stopped by someone who said, "Alright, this kid is Gu Senxiang's younger brother, he must have..."

The group realized that he had overheard their conversation.

They were somewhat in the wrong, so it wasn't appropriate for them to demand an explanation from Gu Senxi.

In fact, Gu Senxi was already a little angry when he heard them talking about Yi Yao. He felt that these people were just gossipy and bullies who preyed on the weak.

When Zhao Shucheng was around, those people only dared to whisper a few words behind his back, but as soon as Zhao Shucheng went to the training camp, they started targeting Yi Yao again, and now they've even started bringing up his sister.

Gu Senxi is not like other people; he always resolves things face-to-face, which is why he doesn't give those people a friendly look.

Yi Yao hadn't expected Gu Senxi to help her. After nodding, she silently walked towards her classroom.

When Gu Senxi first heard the rumors, he was also a little confused, especially after Zhao Shucheng brought up the law, which calmed down the rumors a lot, and he thought the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, after Zhao Shucheng's training camp, rumors suddenly resurfaced and even intensified. This made Gu Senxi realize that something was amiss. As the saying goes, there must be something fishy going on when things are out of the ordinary, and there must be some inside story he didn't know about.

However, after school, he did not see Yi Yao anywhere. In the end, by chance, he found Yi Yao by the grassy pond at school.

He saw Yi Yao sitting on the ground with her legs wrapped around her chest, looking so lonely and helpless.

Especially when Gu Senxi saw Yi Yao staring intently at the pond, he was worried that Yi Yao might do something rash because of the rumors.

He slowly approached Yi Yao and asked, "Yi Yao, are you alright?"

Yi Yao turned around and saw that it was Gu Senxi. She turned her head back to look at the water and said, "I'm fine. What could possibly happen to me?"

"Actually, you don't need to care about what they say. They just think you're weak and easy to bully. But these rumors only lasted a few days before they came back. Is someone targeting you?"

Yi Yao glanced at Gu Senxi again, her eyes showing some surprise.

Don't you want to know if it's true?

"I believe you. You're not that kind of person. Besides, Qi Ming even called the police, so it must be a rumor. But since it's spread so convincingly, it must have been done by someone in the know. Do you know who it is?"

Yi Yao nodded. She needed someone else's approval now. As long as there was one more person besides Zhao Shucheng who approved of her, she could persevere.

So Yi Yao told Gu Senxi everything about her illness, her ongoing treatment, and how Tang Xiaomi bumped into her while she was getting her medicine.

Yi Yao said, "No one else knows, but I ran into you and Tang Xiaomi when I went to the hospital before."

Gu Senxi said, "That definitely wasn't me. I ran into you in the elevator, and I was visiting my sister."

Yi Yao smiled and said, "Of course I know, so I know Tang Xiaomi is the most suspicious."

Gu Senxi hesitated for a moment and said, "What about Qi Ming? Doesn't he have any suspicion at all? You know he knows the most, so it's not impossible for him to play the hero and save the damsel in distress."

“He wouldn’t. After all, we grew up together and we know each other too well. He wouldn’t do such a thing.”

Gu Senxi said, "I didn't expect you two to be childhood sweethearts. I guess I was being nosy. Now it seems that Tang Xiaomi from your class was behind all of this. Do you two have any conflicts?"

Yi Yao shook her head and said, "I didn't know her before, and we didn't usually interact. I don't know where I offended her." As Yi Yao spoke, her eyes dimmed. She hadn't expected Tang Xiaomi to target her like this, but Tang Xiaomi had promised her she wouldn't spread the word.

Gu Senxi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yi Yao, although I believe in you, if you don't respond, these rumors will only spread further. Don't expect those people to stop on their own. Although I didn't know that Tang Xiaomi was targeting you so much, this isn't the end. But don't do anything rash at such a young age when faced with rumors."

Yi Yao didn't understand at first, but seeing Gu Senxi looking at her nervously, as if afraid she would jump, she said:

"What are you thinking? I wouldn't do anything rash."

"Who are you trying to fool? If I hadn't shown up in time, you might have committed suicide. The consequences would have been unimaginable, unimaginable, do you know that?"

"Who would commit suicide in such a shallow pool?"

“You can squat down. I’m telling you, there’s no one else around here except me. It’s dangerous if no one sees you.”

Yi Yao said, "You're right. What's so scary about death? It's the living that's painful. Why do people live?"

Yi Yao originally wanted to wait for Zhao Shucheng to return; it was a hope, much better than facing the gossip head-on. But Gu Senxi's sudden appearance made her realize that she couldn't rely on Zhao Shucheng forever. Besides, he was currently in intensive training, and it was uncertain when he would return, so she had to learn to solve problems on her own.

Zhao Shucheng and Gu Senxiang were in the training team, attending classes and discussing problems together every day. In the eyes of others, they were a perfect couple, a match made in heaven.

Over the next period of time, Yi Yao changed a lot. She was no longer timid and would fight back when bullied. This surprised those who originally thought Yi Yao was easy to bully.

Tang Xiaomi was actually very dissatisfied with Yi Yao's changes. After all, she saw her former self in Yi Yao, but she didn't have the courage to resist. This undoubtedly made Tang Xiaomi hate Yi Yao even more.

The fake best friends she made were all gossip material, and they openly and secretly looked down on Yi Yao. That's why they targeted Yi Yao in various ways after she accidentally let it slip.

Now that those people have seen Yi Yao's change, they don't dare to confront her directly. They only dare to chatter quietly like before. How can this satisfy Tang Xiaomi?

The only thing that made Tang Xiaomi feel a little better was that those people still had some sense of loyalty and didn't directly betray her.

But when Tang Xiaomi saw Yi Yao actually resisting and even throwing a volleyball at her, she felt that she couldn't continue like this, otherwise the situation would definitely get out of her control.

The reason she dared to continue targeting Yi Yao was because Zhao Shucheng was currently in intensive training. If she couldn't destroy Yi Yao before he returned, it might be too late.

Tang Xiaomi didn't expect that before she could see Yi Yao's misfortune, she herself would run into her old friends from No. 1 High School.

They did the same thing as before, surrounding her and punching and kicking her. But Tang Xiaomi didn't dare to fight back at all, and didn't even try to struggle or run away.

She had experienced far too many things like this. If she really ran away, they would relentlessly pursue her, perhaps even ambushing her every day. The past had left her with too much psychological trauma, making her afraid to rebel even after leaving the school.

"Tang Xiaomi, you better remember this: next time you see us, try to run away, but you better not let us find out, or you'll be in trouble."

After those people left, Tang Xiaomi tidied her clothes and gathered her schoolbag and books scattered on the ground. She kept all her resentment towards those people inside, feeling that it was all Yi Yao's fault; otherwise, she wouldn't have been distracted and hadn't run away beforehand.

Besides, if he himself had no way to resist, then what gave Yi Yao the right to dare to resist?
Tang Xiaomi made up her mind that after she went to school tomorrow, she would definitely discuss with her friends how to make Yi Yao suffer the same hardships as her, or even worse.

The next day, noon.

Zhao Shucheng and his classmates' training camp ended early, and Zhao Shucheng, Gu Senxiang, and the others took a bus back to school. Since it was already noon, they went back to the classroom to put their things down and then prepared to have lunch.

Yi Yao was on her way to school for lunch when she bumped into a classmate and got soup spilled on him.

"Are you sick? You really are sick, but can you please have some decency and not get yourself dirty?"

Upon hearing the other person's words, Yi Yao simply turned and left, making everyone else feel that Yi Yao was still that timid and cowardly little girl.

"We're leaving now, don't you need to pay for dry cleaning?"

"Tch, what a spineless coward!"

"I don't want to talk about her anymore, she's really unlucky, okay?"

Just as the students were losing interest after watching the excitement, they suddenly heard Yi Yao's voice: "No need for dry cleaning, I'll rinse it clean for you!"

Then Yi Yao came to the cafeteria carrying a water hose and sprayed it at the boy whose clothes were dirty. Everyone else saw this and quickly dodged.

"Yi Yao, you're insane!"

Hearing Tang Xiaomi and the others talking about themselves, Yi Yao also watered the others.

When Zhao Shucheng arrived, he saw Yi Yao spraying water at other people with a hose.

Gu Senxiang didn't expect the cafeteria to be so lively. When she turned around, she found her younger brother turning on the tap. It seemed that her younger brother and Yi Yao had made it together this time.

Zhao Shucheng frowned when he saw this. He knew Yi Yao's personality quite well. If it were on her own, she probably wouldn't have done something so crazy. She must have been influenced by someone else.

"Yi Yao, that's enough!"

Yi Yao was surprised that Zhao Shucheng had finished training at this time and witnessed her bullying her classmate. Her face turned pale, and she seemed unsure how to face Zhao Shucheng.

Zhao Shucheng took the water pipe and said, "Yi Yao, it's good that you dare to resist, but sometimes you have to pay attention to your methods. Although I don't know exactly what happened, I think it must be a conflict between you and a classmate. So you can target him instead of involving more classmates."

"Qi Ming, you have no idea what happened."

Zhao Shucheng looked at Yi Yao and said, "I really don't know what happened, but I know that if it's a conflict between two people, then at most both sides will be equally blamed. But your behavior now is no longer a personal grudge between you two. The school and teachers will not sit idly by. In fact, they will think that you are bullying your classmate."

"Originally, you might have been in the right, but now that things have escalated, you've become the one bullying others. Is this the result you wanted?"

Yi Yao suddenly fell silent. She didn't want this outcome either, but Gu Senxi had told her to retaliate in kind. Had she really done something wrong?
While Gu Senxi was still feeling smug, he didn't expect that his sister would twist his ear and make him turn off the tap.

Gu Senxi was surprised that his older sister had returned from training camp, and awkwardly asked, "Sis, why are you back now?" (End of Chapter)
