Speaking of this, Xu Wenjiao was a little emotional and shouted at her.
"Do you think if I recorded the video and I would release it? I'll either keep it for myself or threaten you. What good is it for me to release it on public and cause public anger?"
Xu Wenjiao sneered.
"In my opinion it must be someone from your group who recorded it so if you make them unhappy they could release the video to screw you."
"Believe it or not, I really didn't let them record the video before. I'm looking for you today to say sorry."
"Then what, have me post on the forum that I forgive you? Heh, stop dreaming, you can beat me if you want but it's impossible to ask me to forgive you."
She continued.
"People like you won't understand how big the shadow of that incident is to me."
"It's my business to apologize and it's your business if you will accept it or not and I don't need you to come forward. In short I just want to let you know that I will never let this happen again."
After saying this, she bowed to Xu Wenjiao.
When Xu Wenjiao saw Shi Ning bowing she was extremely shocked.
In the past when she and Shi Ning puller each other's hair, they didn't even see her lowered her head.
But this time, she actually apologize and bowed to her.
"Don't do this, our fight is not about this. It's the same with the video, why did you shoot the part where I was beaten and bullied by you? In the middle before that I spat and pulled your hair but that wasn't included. It made me look weak like a chicken instead."
When Xu Wenjiao finished this sentence she looked at Shi Ning.
"But if you let me have Nan Xiao I am willing to help you out."
Shi Ning then remembered that the original owner targeted her because this Xu Wenjiao also liked Nan Xiao.
There were many people who liked Nan Xiao in their school and all of them also know that the young Miss of the Shi family like him, so they were not so obvious about it.
Only this student, Xu Wenjiao has been brave enough to go against the original owner. And with the original owner's temper, naturally she would not let it be.
"I really didn't come to ask you to step in… and Nan Xiao it's not like I can give him to you even if I want to."
She wanted to tell her that the male lead was only for the female lead, and Nan Xiao was for Tong Lu.
It has nothing to with them. In the world of novel, it was unlucky to get entangled with the male lead besides the female lead.
Xu Wenjiao looked up and down at her.
"I heard everyone say that you don't like Nan Xiao anymore?"
"Uh-huh."
Xu Wenjiao immediately pulled her back.
"Then help me chase after Nan Xiao! As long as you help me get a date with Nan Xiao, I'll let be bygones be bygones and I will definitely help you with the post!"
Shi Ning was taken aback by this sudden rise in her enthusiasm and wondered.
"….Didn't you say that I used to give you a big shadow?"
Xu Wenjiao said casually.
"Hey that's all in the past, there are no permanent enemies in this world. As long as you help me chase Nan Xiao, we are going to be sisters."
In the end Shi Ning doesn't relent.
If she agree to Xu Wenjiao at this time, then would she be too sorry for Tong Lu.
After chatting with Xu Wenjiao Shi Ning tried to contact Ke Jie. She asked for Ke Jie's number and calls her several times, but her calls doesn't go through.
Since Shi Ning couldn't get in touch with her no matter how much she tried, she has no choice but to put the matter of talking to her on hold.
In the classroom, Yu Chuyao watched Shi Ning's every move with confused expression.
She thought that after this incident, Shi Ning would find a way to use her family's reputation to delete the post and then suppress the public opinion.
After all, her family has strong influence. Such a thing was not enough to driver her out of school.
But if she deleted the post, it would be like she was agreeing to all of those things and Shi Ning's good reputation in the school these days would basically go down the sink.
That was all she was after.
However, Shi Ning did not take any of these countermeasures and let the post float on the homepage forum which made Yu Chuyao very puzzled.
What is she up to?
After talking, Shi Ning and Xu Wenjiao went to Gao Min and took all afternoon to finished what they need to do.
When she was going back to class, she ran to Yu Chuyao.
Shi Ning could already deduced that meeting her was not a coincidence, with Yu Chuyao's posture she was 80% waiting for her at the door of the classroom.
Shi Ning pretended not to see her as if she was walking pass her and as expected Yu Chuyao could not resist opening her mouth.
"Formerly, everyone was praising a top student for winning the school flower but in just two days this person was actually a bully who harmed others. We can't be too proud ah, who knows what will happen the next second, after all the higher you stand the worse you fall."
Shi Ning stopped and turned around.
She whispered.
"This video comes from you and you also posted it, right?"
Yu Chuyao's expression change and she immediately denied.
"I can't understand what you are saying. You've don't these vicious things yourself and now you want to pull me into the dirty water, there's no way I'll let you do that. I wasn't even present when the content of these videos took place, so how could I film them?"
Shi Ning's lips showed a sneer and did not speak again, she just walked pass Yu Chuyao and said a word before she went back in the classroom.
After saying that word, the blood on Yu Chuyao's face drained.
That night, Shi Ning put together the original video and the unedited version of the video given to her by Nan Xiao.
She posted on the forum using her real name as ID, the title of the post was #I'm willing to apologize for what I've done but also want to show everyone the complete truth.
In the post, Shi Ning first made a profound self-examination of her former behavior and criticized the act of school violence.
Then after that, she posted the truth of the videos.
And at the end, she wrote a paragraph.
[I don't know what kind of person behind this wanted to happen and why dug these things out. You can slander me but this way of taking someone out is too disgusting.]
[As far as I know since last year, you have bribed the people around me to secretly take videos and send them to you when I do these wrong things.]
[Probably you are waiting for this moment with all your heart.]
[I am willing to accept all criticisms. I'm sorry for these students and I'm sorry for my parents and teacher's teachings. It's because I know I'm wrong that I'm more constrained in my behavior now. I don't want to defend the rest, in short I'll just show you the new me.]
After posting this, Shi Ning sat in front of the computer and took a deep breath.

People who died once would not be afraid of gossip.
In this life, there was nothing to fear it may be death of life but what was more important was peace of mind.
After the truth was sent out, the public opinion immediately shifted.
After all, from the perspective of the unedited video what Shi Ning has done was not too much. Moreover it was not like this was the first time they heard about these things regarding Shi Ning.
In the past, Shi Ning used to act like this, if it wasn't for the strong public opinion brought by the water army, deliberately leading in the direction to slandering and insulting Shi Ning.
Now everyone was more interested in the person behind the post.
[…f̲u̲c̲k̲ so this video is actually fake, so the person who posted it didn't want to seek justice for the bullied students but wanted to harm Shi Ning?]
[Naturally this video could not have come from Shi Ning, these video were taken from a long time ago which means that the person who posted them has been collecting them in order to one day expose them and harm Shi Ning?]
[My head feels numb with such analysis…]
[I think it's because Shi Ning has become too popular recently so the uploader chose to put the post at these time. It was trying to use the power of public opinion to stink up Shi Ning's reputation.]
[This is too crazy…who is it ah? Could it be one of Shi Ning group of followers, after all they were the only one who had been around when it happened?]
Amidst the countless speculations, Shi Ning posted another recording.
And added another comment.
[You guess it right, the person who took the video was one of the sisters who used to follow me, but she only listened to someone's help on taking this videos. As for the post it has nothing to do with her. And for the person who wants the video, it was probably the person who posted it.]
It was precisely because of this that Shi Ning went to find Gao Min today. She sought the people who were on the scene and question them one after another.
And finally found out that the person taking the video was a girl following her named, Shen Rongrong.
Shen Rongrong said that these videos were given to Yu Chuyao a long time ago. At that time Yu Chuayao gave a big sum of money and since then she had been secretly helping Yu Chuyao.
At that time also she thought that Yu Chuyao had good relationship with Shi Ning and thinks that she had no reason to use the video but who knew something like this happened.
The recording were all conversations between Shen Rongrong and her when she confess the truth.
At this point, it was clear who the person behind the post was.
For a moment, Shi Ning's post was more popular than the original post.
After all, what's more wonderful drama than two sisters fighting each other in the rich family? Of course it was worth eating melon.
The comments were divided in two.
One side was accusing Yu Chuyo of back stabbing while the other one was saying that Shi Ning shifted the focus which should be about her using violence and being a bully and Yu Chuyao just revealing the truth.
Just as people on both side of the fence were bickering, another video exploded.
The person who posted the video this time was anonymous.
The content of the post was even more explosive than two sisters, splashing dirty water. This time it was worth than just eating melons.
It has two videos and an audio.
The first video was a clip for a surveillance camera from school.
In the clip from surveillance camera, Yu Chuyao was hugging Jin Sihan and acting like a pampered princess.
And the other video was another clip from a surveillance camera in the mall.
The female protagonist of the video clip was still Yu Chuayo, only this time the man beside her has turned into another tall and handsome man.
Yu Chuyao took the man's hand and her actions were very intimate.
And finally in the audio file was Yu Chuyao's whiny voice.
"Of course I prefer you Brother Jin Shang. Jin Sihan—I was playing with him, I only see him as my little brother and don't see him that way."
"Don't worry, I'll break up with him when we're a little more stable."
After this post was sent out, the campus forum was immediately down due to large number of clicks and number of replies.
The anonymous post was almost slaughter by Jin Sihan's fans aka mothers and girlfriends.

The anonymous post was almost slaughter by Jin Sihan's fans aka mothers and girlfriends.
[F̲u̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g̲ great, my younger brother Jin Sihan who is the most lovable brother in our school was wearing green?]
[Holy s̲h̲i̲t̲ aaahhhhh, a rant from a sophomore! That's Jin Sihan ahhhhh! Yu Chuyao if you don't cherish him please give him to me!]
[…What's even scarier is that she also hitched a ride with Jin Sihan's brother. A good dog show indeed.]
[This woman in the end, how deep is her scheming ability? It's not only how thorough she planned to destroy her sister's reputation but she also let her boyfriend wear green hat! It's an eye opener!]
[Wuwuwu, I felt Xiao Sihan's heartache, elder sister is still waiting for you to grow up so how could you fall in love! And he even found a woman such a hypocritical woman, there will be psychological shadow!]
Shi Ning looked at the post and froze.
She never expected that this matter would be blown out at this stormy time.
She highly doubt it was Yu Chuyao who spilled the beans here— with that thinking, there was only…
Shi Ning called Jin Sihan.
Before she could asked the question she head Jin Sihan howling on the other end of the line.
"Ohhhh Ningning my scars were once again uncovered in public! Now the whole school knows that I wore a green hat. I can't face anyone! So why don't I just bring mask to school from tomorrow onwards."
After Shi Ning listened to his howling, she asked him with a frown.
"So you didn't make this post?"
On the other side of the phone, Jin Sihan said agitatedly as if he had heard something unbelievable.
"How could I have sent it, a family's dirty laundry should not be disclosed! This kind of thing is simply a shame for men!"
"But who would have the audio except you. It couldn't post by Jin Shang himself."
"You guessed it right, it's really my brother. Who else but him who is so perverted, he must be trying to humiliate me."
"By the way, recently Yu Chuyao pestered him, I guess he got tired with her pestering so he used some means to warn her."
Shi Ning was still skeptical.
"Really? Didn't you say that family shame should not be disclosed? This is not half good for your brother either…"
"A pervert like my brother, who knows what he's thinking."
Shi Ning also think that this make sense, Jin Shang was a kind of person no normal people could understand.
She could only swallow back into her stomach the words she wanted to say, and comforted him instead.
Shi Ning and Jin Sihan chatted for almost an hour. Shi Ning was so sleepy and did not care what the forum said and just crawled into the bed to sleep.
School violence was all too common in today's society and it was even more so in aristocratic schools like Yangchuan where there was already default ranking among classmates.
Not to mention, after Shi Ning releases the unedited versions of the videos, the accusations against her was not that serious.
So people would naturally not be so interested in this kind of news.
On the contrary, Yu Chuyao's case was worth the melon1 that could sparked a hot debate.
After all Shi Ning used to have that overbearing image but Yu Chuyao was different. She has always shown people a gentle and kind image.
But with this post, it revealed not one but many things. It simply let the people fall through the glasses to refresh their three views in life.
The heat of the post does not even need to buy a water army to flame the news. With the group of people who do not know to sleep, surrounded the forum and discuss these things in the middle of the night.
After post broke out, Yu Chuyao went crazy.
She frantically dialed Jin Sihan's phone number, but the other party was always on a busy line.
Until she finally got through.
Jin Sihan picked up the phone and answered with a lazy tone.
"Hey."
Compared to Yu Chuyao's urgent tone.
"Sihan, did you read the post? I don't know who sent it, but it's definitely not me. This was our business after all."
"And if it's brought to public for discussion we both can't pull our faces off. How about you help me find a way to get this post deleted?"
"Have you ever wondered who made this post?"
His tone made Yu Chuyao's back turn cold.
"It can't be that you posted it yourself….."
Jin Sihan chuckled, and was not shy nor embarrassed from admitting it.
"Yes, it's me."
Yu Chuyao stood up from her chair, and veins at the back of her hand holding the phone were obviously bulging.
"Why?! Why are you doing this?!"
"I warned you, if you touch Ningning again don't blame me for not thinking of our past friendship—but you did that anyway."
"Shi Ning Shi Ning again, it's always Shi Ning! You only have Shi Ning in your eyes! Have you ever considered my feelings?! You doing this, what face do I have to walk in the school in the future!"
Jin Sihan dropped his eyes and played with his fingernails as he spoke softly into the phone.
"Since you don't have a face, you should simply get lost."
Shi Ning got up the next day and went to school with her bag.
All the way to school, there were students who were looking at her.
She could understand why people were looking at her, after all the things on the forum also made quite a big deal.
But contrary to what she imagine, this people were looking at her with sympathetic look instead of scorn and contempt.
Sympathize with me for what?
Sympathize with for being stabbed in the back by my fake sister?
Though it was not her per se who was stabbed in back but Shi Ning. The original owner who she did not know which world she had gone to.
Back then, when they had a good relationship Yu Chuyao had already begun to plot against her.
Now she has finally uncovered Yu Chuyao's true colors step by step, this could be considered her revenge for the original owner.
After walking to the classroom, Shi Ning looked at the content of the post once again.
Right then she finally understood why she walked on the road without the contempt and mockery she was supposed to get.

It turns out that Tong Lu and Xu Wenjiao both came forward to help her speak.
Shi Ning was shocked.
Tong Lu helping her speak the truth so people could understand her situations was natural after all the two of them were really in a good relationship.
But why did Xu Wenjiao speak for her? She always hated her and she didn't promise to help her chase Nan Xiao either.
This simply doesn't make sense.
Unless—
Shi Ning turned her head to look at Nan Xiao who was sitting next to her.
"Nan Xiao."
"What?"
He looked like he wasn't in a good mood today, and there was an air of resentment in his tone.
"Do you know someone named Xu Wenjiao?"
Nan Xiao's not-in-the-mood face became uglier.
"I don't want to hear that name right now."
Shi Ning's eyes widened.
"You, did you really make any one sided deal with her, didn't you? Did she do anything to you?"
Nan Xiao gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence.
"I didn't, don't think too much about it."
"But the way I see your expression, it's way too upset than normal. What did she do to you…"
For Shi Ning, he approached not only Tong Lu but also Xu Wenjiao.
Tong Lu naturally agree without asking for anything in return, and helped Shi Ning clear her name with her post.
As for Xu Wenjiao—
If it was not for Shi Ning he would unlikely want to see this woman in whole his life. He couldn't bear to accompany her shopping and take her to dinner, not to mention watch movies last night anymore.
She didn't even forget to ask for a selfie with him.
The expression of his face in that selfie fully expressed his mood.
If he didn't need her help for Shi Ning, he would want to pinch her to death right now. How could a troublesome woman exist?
"It's nothing, don't worry about it."
Nan Xiao then looked away.
Shi Ning looked at him sympathetically, remembering the enthusiastic Xu Wenjiao talking about him. She was afraid that Nan Xiao had suffered enough.
But why did he do that?
It seems like Nan Xiao has always protecting her in his awkward way without her knowing when it started.
Was it because they were too cruel to her before and now they want to make up for it?
Shi Ning couldn't figure it out, but she didn't continue to dwell more into it.
The incident continued to fester and eventually made it's way out of school forum.
Yangchuan ostensibly does not allow early love, after this incident Jin Sihan and Yu Chuyao were both invited to the school office.
Both of them have background, and how the school disposes of these rumors depends on the Jin and Shi families.
Madam Jin's health has not been good all year, especially when the weather turned cold recently.
Her condition became more unstable, so this matter was put into Shi Pingzhan's hands. So the school invited Shi Pingzhan to come to school and discuss the child's education.
Shi Pingzhan directly requested a conversation with the principal of Yangchuan Middle School.
As soon as the principal heard that it was Master Shi, he hurriedly took the phone and spoke in a respectful tone.
"Master Shi, you were looking for me?"
Shi Pingzhan was not polite, and directly on the phone cursed a lot at the principal.
"You guys still have the nerve to ask me to solve Yu Chuyao's education? Please, you look at who she is harming? You still want me, as her parent, to take care of her early love affairs?"
"Is your school teachers have rust on their heads? This kind of white-eye wolf who harmed my daughter! My Shi family has the right to pretend that such person do not exist, all I know is that she can't be allowed to be educated in the same environment as my daughter again."
Ang ruthlessly hang up the phone.
On the same day, Jin Shang also came to school.
When he went to the office, Shi Ning ran into him in the corridor.
"It's been a long time, little Shi Ning."
Jin Shang took the initiative to greet her.
"Why is Mr. Jin here in our school?"
Jin Shang smiled.
"My younger brother does not know how to do things, at a young age instead of studying well he learned early love instead. The school wanted to invite our parents but father is busy and elder brother is like a father, so I came in his stead this time."
You are really six1.
This calm and collected look of his made Shi Ning admire his shamelessness.
Have you forgotten that your brother is still in love with your ex-girlfriend?
Now your brother and your ex were in the office, and here you are willing to represent at a parent.
Looking at him closely, he really dressed like one.
No wonder Jin Sihan said that his brother's thinking was not something normal people could understand.
"You do as you wish."
After Shi Ning said this, she ran into the classroom as fast as she could to avoid the plague.
The teachers froze when they saw Jin Shang walked into the office.
Human nature was keen to gossip, this teacher were no different and were also melon eaters. They didn't even miss yesterday's post.
The young master of the Jin family and Yu Chuyao, this love story couldn't be describe easily and just makes people breathless.
And seeing the person who came today, were they going to see firsthand the sequel of this story?
But of course, gossip was gossip. After all Jin Shang was the actual head of the Jin family, even if he was young the school still respects him.
Only these three people were standing together, and looked odd to look at some point or another.
six1– derogatory word.
Chapter 115

The expression of these people were hard to describe, only Jin Shang look as if nothing had happened.
"Teacher, hello I am Jin Sihan's guardian."
"Hello Mr. Jin."
When the teacher shook hands with him, her eyes couldn't help but glance at Yu Chuyao and Jin Sihan's faces.
Yu Chuyao's face has change, from reed to white and she couldn't even lift her head.
Jin Sihan's expression was not much better, a face telling unbelievable was written all over as he frowningly look at his brother.
The teacher finally couldn't hold back and asked.
"Whose problem did Mr. Jin come to deal with today? Or is it both you want to deal with?"
Anyway the Shi family does not care about Yu Chuyao, since this little girl was close to Mr. Jin why not let him deal about it?
Jin Shang smiled.
"What are you talking about, I am Jin Sihan's brother. Other people whose surnamed are not Jin has nothing to do with me."
In the end, the matter was result by only giving Jin Sihan a demerit while Yu Chuyao was directly expelled from the school.
Also even though it was just an early love but the disciplinary action seems unfair, no one speaks out for Yu Chuyao.
Everyone thinks she deserves it, and Jin Sihan was only dragged into it for nothing.
After this incident Shi Pingzhan saw Yu Chuyao's true nature and could no longer keep such person by the Old Matriarch's side.
He made up random reasons to deal with the old lady and then forced Yu Chuyao to move out of the Shi family mansion to a single room.
Not letting her go back to the orphanage was the last decent thing the Shi family did for her.
After Yu Chuyao left, Shi Ning finally did not have to see people who bothered her.
She thought that was the end of it.
But surprisingly she received a text message.
[I heard you were looking for me?]
The person who sent the message was none other than Ke Jie, the student who transferred.
Shi Ning remembers that of all people who were bullied by the original owner, Ke Jie was the only one who changed schools.
Ke Jie has a very boring nature and was not talkative.
Back then, however the original owner caught her secretly speaking ill of her behind her back.
This was the most annoying behavior the original behavior hated.
From then on, when the original owner saw Ke Jie, she had to 'greet' her with a few words.
At that time, Ke Jie was in class with one of the original owner's minions. The girl asked Ke Jie to clean after school every day.
Sometime she would be locked in the classroom until the school security came to check and found her being locked.
After that Ke Jie transferred to another school.
Some says she has fallen ill, while others say she was harmed by Shi Ning.
No matter what, the original owner did go too far. And now that the matter has been blown up, she couldn't pretend it didn't happen since she saw it.
Shi Ning returned Ke Jie's message saying she knew she has done something wrong that year and expressed her desire to meet her and say she was sorry in person.
Shi Ning was afraid of causing her even greater disgust and immediately sent another text message.
"Of course, I would understand if you don't want to see me. You can put forward another conditions that I can do and I will try my best to compensate you."
Ke Jie replied.
[Then let's meet up.]
She then send an address over to Shi Ning.
Shi Ning took a look, it was nearby the school. It was an abandoned elementary school which has long been empty.
The school was vacant and was just waiting for demolition.
After receiving the message, Shi Ning took a taxi to the address that Ke Jie had sent her.
Arriving at the school, she sent a message to Ke Jie indicating her arrival.
[I'm in 401 on the fifth floor, come on up.]
Shi Ning went up to the fifth floor, the school has been vacant for half a year and only few people come in weekdays.
The classroom were all dusty, unluckily this classroom was facing against the sun so it was dark and humid. There were also abandoned tables and chairs.
"Ke Jie, Ke Jie are you there?"
Shi Ning tried calling her.
Only after she arrived did she realized that the classroom was really in a bad condition, as the air was permitted with sour smell.
And at that moment, Shi Ning vaguely heard footsteps coming from behind her. She was about to turned her head to look back but a bucket of cold water was poured on her.
Shi Ning was drenched from head to toe, her face was dripping with water that she could not open her eyes.
Then someone took a sack and put it over her head. There seemed to be two people behind her, one grabbed her and the other grabbed her phone.
"Who are you guys? Ke Jie, is that you!?"
The other party did not speak and then after grabbing her phone pushed her into the classroom and then quickly closed the classroom door.
Shi Ning quickly took the sack from her head and rushed to the classroom door. She heard the sound of the lock clicking on the other side of the classroom door.
"Ke Jie! I know it's you! What do you want! You're breaking the law, don't you know that? You let me out!"
Shi Ning knocked desperately on the door but no one responded.
Then there was another light footstep, and then after that no more sound outside.
Shi Ning's whole body chills, she tried to shout for help a few more times but there was nothing but echo.
And unerring quietness envelops the place that no one visited.

"Pay attention to the position of the opponents ADC!"
"QTA, QTA, come on! The jungler is coming soon, what kind of ganoderma are still collecting in the wild area?"
"Damn, Brother Xiao ah this set of moves will make the enemy go upside down!"
"Zhang Qiang you stupid, are you playing against your mother?! If it wasn't for Brother Xiao's movement the game would be over!"
"Nan Xiao is really awesome, teaming up with him is so f̲u̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g̲ comfortable."
The exaggerated compliment of Nan Xiao's teammates were receive indifferently by Nan Xiao, his face was cold and his hand were running smoothly, unaffected by the praises.
That's when his phone rang.
Nan Xiao's phone was on the table was set to vibrate.
The caller ID was Tong Lu.
Seeing the name, he didn't care and continued playing the game.
But the phone kept on ringing, he frowned thinking that Tong Lu may really have something important to say to him so he picked up the phone with his free hand.
On the phone Tong Lu directly said.
"I can't contact Shi Ning."
Nan Xiao stopped the movement of his hand.
"What did you say?"
Ton Lu told him that about Shi Ning meeting Ke Jie today.
"Two o'clock in the afternoon? Now it's 9pm, you couldn't f̲u̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g̲ tell me earlier?"
"But what Shi Ning explained to me is that if I can't contact her after seven hours, I'll come back to you for help."
Nan Xiao's face was grim.
"Where did she go?"
"In that abandoned elementary school not far from our school, I'll send you the address."
"Nan Xiao, what are you doing? It's time to fight enemy!"
"Don't answer any call! Let's put everything aside and play the game first! We're all going to win!"
The students who came to internet café with him were there calling him frantically.
"I have to go out for something."
Nan Xiao hung up the phone and stood up from his seat.
One of the student eagerly said.
"Brother Xiao we're going to win and this is already the last round. If it is not something important, just put it aside first and do it after playing ah!"
"It's important than the sky falling."
He firmly said with his cold eyes.
Shi Ning did not know how long she had been in the classroom. She was cold all over especially since she was drenched with water earlier.
She was shivering really bad and seeing that there was no light, she guessed it was already evening.
There was rustling sound rattling in the corner and she could see a mouse or two scurry pass her eyes.
Shi Ning thought up, the original owner was most afraid of was mouse. She also hated dirty and dark, cold places.
If Shi Ning was the sitting in the room now, she would really collapse.
Fortunately she was not, other than being lock in a cold place she does not feel any fear in fact her mind was particularly clear.
It's just that her mind could bear it but not her body, she was unable to resist the cold. Shi Ning almost lost her consciousness, and her head also began to faint.
After the unknown amount of time, she heard someone calling her name followed by the classroom door slammed open.
A tall figure appeared at the door, and in the darkness she could only see blurred shadow.
With the moonlight falling from the sky, she could vaguely make out his silhouette.
"There you are."
She turned her head and smiled lightly at him.
Nan Xiao couldn't express in words how he feels at this moment.
Tonight, the moon was hanging high and the moment the door was opened the moon shines on her face.
Her hair was all wet, and her lips and face were almost the same color. In the silent night, the sound of mice and insects around was particularly clear.
She was a mess, and was dirty. She was sitting quietly in a relatively clean place as she curled up, hugging herself into a small ball.
He approached her step by step, Shi Ning's whole body was wet and the ground she was sitting has patches of water stains.
Nan Xiao took his coat off and covered her.
"Who did it."
His voice was so cold that the temperature dropped a few times, and his eyes were red.
"It doesn't matter, cough, cough, cough."
Shi Ning coughed several time in a row.
Nan Xiao wrapped her in his coat and used his sleeves to dry the water stains on her face.
"The most important things now is that I have to find a place to change my clothes before going home."
If it had been any later, people at home would have found out that she was missing.
Nan Xiao pose to hold her, Shi Ning waved her hand to show that she could stand up.
"You really f̲u̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g̲….sometimes."
Obviously she was a girl, so why couldn't she be a little softer?
Shi Ning was dizzy and had to be supported in order to walk.
They came downstairs just in time to bump to Ke Jie who was going upstairs.
Ke Jie turned around and tried to run when she saw them.
Nan Xiao wanted to rush up and chase her but Shi Ning signaled him not to go after.
"Don't you run, didn't you say you would accept my apology only when you see me face to face and now that we met face to face. Don't you want to hear me say a few words?"
Shi Ning said in a soft voice and after she finished saying this, she coughed again.
Ke Jie slowly turned her head and looked at Shi Ning.
The little princess, who she remembered as always being high up and dress herself exquisitely luxurious now looked so pale and wretched.
Seeing this, the thrill of getting her revenger did not come and Ke Jie looked at Shi Ning eyes.
"I did it, what? Are you going to hit me again?"
She tightened her grip on the phone.
"I'm not going to hit you, aren't we here to talk."
She continued.
"If I'm right, you're here to open the door for me now."

Ke Jie stood there without speaking, just biting her lips in silence.
Shi Ning said.
"Seven hours, it's really quite hard to get through. I've heard people say that this is the longest time you've ever been detained by me."
When Ke Jie heard her words, she took two steps back in shock and finally realized the other person besides her standing was Nan Xiao.
"You guessed it, guessed what I want to do to you…?"
"It's not a guess, just a preparation."
If Ke Jie really wanted to forgive her genuinely then why wouldn't she met her before?
And why would she make an appointment at an abandon school?
It was inhabited, and it was also a school.
It was a very depressing place for Ke Jie, and she probably wanted to vent on the place she was once vulnerable.
So it occurred to Shi Ning that she might do it to her.
Though the most cruel things she did to her was to force her to clean up, and locking her up were done by others without her permission.
Once school ended early she was locked out form the afternoon to evening before the security released her.
Her appointment in such place largely revealed her true intention.
And even after knowing that, Shi Ning did not refuse.
After transmigrating, she not only borrowed Shi Ning's life but also enjoyed many things that she did not dare to ask for before.
Since this was the case, it was also her duty to bear this on behalf of the original owner.
She wanted to apologize, and if she didn't even have the courage to come to this place, how could she talk about apologizing.
Ke Jie hands holds the railing as she looked Shi Ning.
"Why did you come when you knew what I might do to you!"
"Didn't I say I was here to apologize? If this makes you feel better perhaps it will be more useful than a word of apology from my mouth."
The phone in Ke Jie's hand fell on the ground and tears followed after.
Nan Xiao saw the phone on the ground and frowned.
"She's recording a video."
Shi Ning gave a hmm as she let Nan Xiao release the hand holding her up.
She walked up to Ke Jie herself, bent down and picked up the phone then handed it to her.
"Here's your phone, now, please can you give me my phone?"
Ke Jie said.
"I don't have your phone with me."
"Oh, then I'll go to her and ask."
"You know who has it?"
"There are two people here today, one is you and the other is Yu Chuyao, right?"
Ke Jie was shocked again, she first thought that Shi Ning was too stupid to really realize this things and was confident that she would come to the place unprepared since after all what she wanted was simply apologize to her.
Now she realizes that she was not stupid at all, but surprisingly knows everything.
Ke Jie still gets scared seeing her face even after now, what happened back then left a big trauma to her.
Yu Chuyao told her that if Shi Ning beat her, she sould record everything and send it to the internet.
People might not care about the past, but if this bullying happens now Shi Ning's name would be ruined again.
Ke Jie came back for few reasons, that was to let her out because any further confinement would really make things a big deal.
Two, she was afraid that Shi Ning would retaliate against her again so she wanted to record that as her backup.
As a result, she didn't expect that she already knew everything and looking at her, it seems that she has no intention of doing anything to her.
Shi Ning smiled at her.
"Although you have been locked up, but Yangchuan does not have an environment like this abandon elementary school. And you just poured water on me in this winter, I am very cold. I don't think it's even but I can sympathize with you now."
"Finally I'm sorry, I hope you never have to go through something like this again in your life."
After Shi Ning said these, she bent down to her and bowed deeply.
This time, it took her half a minute to straighten up.
Then she didn't wait for Ke Jie to say anything and turned to Nan Xiao and said.
"Let's go."
Ke Jie looked at her back walking away as her tears have been flowing nonstop. Those pressed resentment and dissatisfaction in her heart for many years seems to have cathartic.
She remembered the dark days of school when she was forced to clean the entire classroom by her, and was afraid they would lock her in the classroom again.
Each time it was the security uncle who would let her out.
Ke Jie was afraid to tell others about what was happening to her, because she was afraid of greater retaliation.
This went on for a long time, until her family moved and her parents agree to transfer her to another school making her calmed down a bit.
But once the seeds of resentment were planted they would take root and sprout.
That's why she agreed to this cooperation after Yu Chuyao found her.
She just wanted to teach Shi Ning a lesson and let her experience the pain she felt at that time.
But she did not expect that she would see that Shi Ning today.
She was completely different from the domineering girl she knew before, she was gentle and resolute, not condescending.
Just like what Yangchuan legend was, she was like a fairy who everyone likes.
But she would never like it, and she would not let go of those hurtful memories just because of Shi Ning's visit today.
But at least, she now believe that she really wanted to apologize to her today.
After Shi Ning came out from the school building, she immediately borrowed a phone and called her family.
"Mom."
On the phone Lin Xuemo asked.
"Where did you go ah? It's more than nine o'clock and your still not home."
"I'm in Nan Xiao's house, I'm helping him with his lessons. He has poor foundation so we are discussing the topic that was discuss not too long ago that's why I stayed a little late. Don't worry mom, I'll be back later."
"So that how it was, then you help Nan Xiao a little more, if he does not understand you have to speak a little slower. You can't laugh at people."
"I know mom."
Shi Ning then hang up the phone.
While the person next to her, cast a cold glance at her.
"Now my poor studies can be an excuse for you not to come home?"
Shi Ning pulled a flattering smile.
"It's convenient."
"Go, go change your clothes and then go back otherwise you will catch a cold."
Chapter 118

Nan Xiao took Shi Ning to a hotel to change her clothes.
Shi Ning looked at the entrance of the hotel, and was just standing not moving her feet.
"This… is not good, right?"
Wasn't it too shameful for them to go in like this? What if they were seen, it would be a big misunderstanding.
"Or do you want to go home like this? Your mother will never believe that you just came to my house to give me refresher. If you want we could go to my house, it's okay to go to my house since the old man and the others are not at home right now and there is only me and the butler at home."
Shi Ning was still hesitating, in between her hesitation she had already sneezed several times in a row.
Nan Xiao couldn't let her be and just pushed her towards the hotel entrance.
"Let's do it here, and it's also closer. Go and change your clothes before you go home."
Shi Ning was weak, so she could not argue with him and was just pushed into the hotel room.
While she was taking a shower, Nan Xiao went to the hotel attendant to ask her to sell a set of clothes for Shi Ning.
When Shi Ning came out after showering and put on her bathrobe, she thought that Nan Xiao would be in the room but found that he had gone out at some point.
Shi Ning called him.
"Where are you?"
"Outside. Listen."
A knock sounded outside the door and on the phone at the same time.
Shi Ning asked him.
"Why are you standing outside?"
"Are you not afraid of being misunderstood by other? If I don't enter your room, there will be no misunderstanding."
Shi Ning was moved after hearing this, and didn't expect Nan Xiao to be considerate and careful.
"Or do you want me to come in, then I'm coming in."
"Don't, just stay outside the door."
Though she said that she was only wrapped with a bathrobe, and she was still embarrassed to have others see her.
So the two talked on the phone through the door.
"Why let Tong Lu call me?"
"What if you won't listen to me, then I will be shut overnight in that room. My family will be looking for me and I don't want them to worry. It will be another storm."
Nan Xiao chuckled.
"Then you're not afraid of me worrying?"
His words came out naturally, so natural that neither of them knew what to say next after the words were spoken.
Nan Xiao gave a force cough, and change the topic.
"And you knew she was going to lock you up in a classroom and not to harm you? you weren't afraid she'd ask you out somewhere unoccupied and stab you?
"The location is just an abandon school, there may be no one inside but around is a residential area and stores. The whole street is monitored, those who wants to break the law will need to choose a better place."
"You always think of plans for everything, but why don't you also think that sometimes you just can't do it by yourself."
"Of course, I suffer cough cough cough cough suffer."
Shi Ning had another coughing fit.
"Fool."
Nan Xiao scolded.
At this time the waiter happened to bring her clothes, Nan Xiao received the clothes and knock on the door.
It didn't take long for the door to open, he handed the clothes inside.
"Hurry up and change your clothes, I will take you home after."
The two of them came out of the hotel, Nan Xiao then called a taxi.
When the driver asked where they were going, Nan Xiao remembered something and said.
"Your phone is still with Yu Chuyao, do you want to go and find her?"
Shi Ning slumped in the back seat, dispirited.
"There's nothing in my phone, she can't have anything over me and it's an old phone. My dad recently bought me two new ones, I just happened to change it."
"You're just going to let her off the hook?"
She could understand Ke Jie, but Yu Chuyao—
"Of course not, this time my father arrange for her to transfer school and drive her out of the Shi's home. After returning, I will tell dad to cut off her card and just give her basic living expenses, enough for her to eat every month. I don't have enough energy to find her today."
Money isn't everything but without money you are nothing.
Yu Chuyao who was used to spending money, this would be her biggest torture.
Shi Ning's voice was getting smaller and smaller, the whole person was exhausted to the point that she fall asleep directly in the back seat.
Nan Xiao looked at her sleeping face, remembering her sorry state earlier making him feel extremely distressed.
He sat a little closer towards her and gently moved her head on his shoulder.
After this night, Shi Ning fell ill.
Not only did she catch a cold, but she also had a fever all night which only went down a bit the next day.
By the time Shi Ning's sanity was clear, it was already noon.
When she open her eyes, she saw a familiar handsome face beside her bed.
"Is my fever too high, why am I hallucinating seeing my brother…."
Shi Chen saw that she was awake, he touched her forehead with his hand.
"Luckily the fever is gone, are you feeling better?"
"Brother, aren't you in the capital? Why are you back?"
"I came back after the competition, what's wrong with you? Before leaving, brother told you to take good care of yourself. But turned out as soon I came back you got sick."
"If you're like this, how can brother feel at ease to go out in the future?"
Shi Chen touched her head and frowned worryingly.
"Brother."
Shi Ning called out to him, she don't know why but during these days of turmoil she did not shed a single tear. However the moment she saw her brother, her tears flowed out instantly.
Shi Chen panicked, he squatted down and looked at her.
"I don't mean to blame you, I'm just too anxious to see you sick. Don't cry, brother will never talk like that to you again."
"No, I didn't cry because of that, it's just that people tend to shed tears when they're sick and I haven't seen my brother for a long time…"
Shi Ning said.
"Fool, that means you miss your brother."
Shi Chen's fingers brushed her eyelids, helping her dry her tears and said with a faint smile.
"En!"
Shi Ning said while nodding her head.
She really missed her brother.
The difference between the finals and the league matches was that the final match have unified venue and the results would be release on the third day after the match.
Then medals and certificates would be awarded on the spot.
That's why Shi Chen and the others didn't stayed in the capital for too long.
Shi Chen unsurprisingly won the national competition.
Although this result was expected by all, Shi Ning still felt happy for her brother from the bottom of her heart.
Shi Chen added.
"This time not only me, but the most surprising one is Suno. He was only freshman in high school but he was able to get in this high level competition and also won. He's really scary."
"But this child is also really hard working, we arrived at the capital early and on those two days he had been reviewing overnight until the competition. I was worried that he would die suddenly in the examination room."
"…I afraid Suno was a study machine in his previous life, and this cause him to die."
Shi Ning commented.
"But I think it's strange, as long as I remember Suno doesn't have much desire to win or lose so how come he has suddenly had the desire to win the competition. That strong desire to win and not lose—I haven't seen it in a long time."
Shi Chen analyzes.
Shi Ning then immediately remembered what he had promised to Lin Suno, so she immediately send a text message to Lin Suno.
[Suno, I heard from my brother that you got good sore, congratulations ^^]
Not long after, Lin Suno replied.
[I want to see you.]
A very short five words, but Shi Ning needed half a minute to read it.
After a while she replied back.
[Yeah, let's go watch a movie, I thought of what I could watch already after you left because I know you would be able to do it~]
[Then shall we go out today?]
Tomorrow would be Monday, so if they don't come out now, they'll have to wait for another week.
Although Lin Suno didn't say much, she could sense that he was looking forward on watching this movie from before the competition so naturally she couldn't push the date further.
[Okay let's do it today.]
Author has something to say: I write this plot because I don't want to understate what the original did. The original owner did things that were not really serious but falls into school violence though she herself did not have a bad heart.
But it still causes harm to others, so never hurt someone with what you think is not serious.
That's probably what I want to portray.
What the heroine did, I think is the most benevolent after all things are not really done by her. She cannot feel much sorry inside, and could only use her body to make actual behavior of compensation.
This chapter is Nan Xiao, next chapter is Lin Suno.
Chapter 119
Translator: Kyotot
After making an appointment with Lin Suno to go to the cinema, Shi Ning stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself.
Her hair look messy, her face was a tad pale, overall the whole person looks very haggard.
It would not be a good idea to come out like this.
Shi Ning thought.
Looking at the time, it was still 1:30 and appointment was 3:00 pm she still has the time to prepare.
She went to her cloak room and picked herself an outfit, then put on a light makeup to cover her pale face.
Because it was winter, Shi Ning again went back and picked a pink plush piggy crossbody bag.
After completing her attire and everything was done, she was ready to go out.
"Are you going out?"
When he went downstairs, Shi Ning met Shi Chen again.
Shi Chen looked at her dress and asked her.
Shi Ning nodded, and saw her brother's face was not looking good making her steps much slower.
"You are still sick, so what do you want to do outside? And in such cold day?"
Shi Ning took a step in front of her brother, as she diffidently said.
"Brother, you can see that I'm wearing thick clothes today so it's fine."
Shi Chen ignored her reasoning and with a cold face he said.
"Do not go out."
"But I made a promise with someone today."
Shi Ning whispered.
"Who did you promised? Is it a boy or a girl?"
Shi Ning originally wanted to tell the truth but remembered that her brother had been talking to her before to stay away from the boys.
So if she would tell him the truth, 80% chances she would not be able to get out today.
"Girl, it's Tong Lu. You have seen her before, I'm meeting her today to watch movie."
"Then you call her, and tell her that you're sick and can't go right now."
"How can I do that? It's not like I'm seriously ill and my fever is gone, I can even jump and dance!"
After saying this, Shi Ning was afraid that Shi Chen would not believe her so she hopped twice in front of him.
As a result, her body betrayed her as she coughed after hoping twice
Shi Chen took a tissue and handed it to her with his more sullen face.
"What kind of movie do you want to see? Brother will take you instead, you should recuperate at home because your sick, you can't just go out and run out like that."
Usually her brother was very gentle and tolerant towards her but this time how could he be more then old-fashioned than her mother and father.
"Brother if I don't go today it will be Monday tomorrow and I will miss it, then I need to wait for another week but by that time the movie maybe out of theaters by them."
She pulled her brother's sleeve and softened her voice.
"Brother let me go please, I really want to see this movie~"
Her coquettish look made Shi Chen's face loosened up though he still looked angry but the corner of his lips had a slightly raised arc exposed, he was actually enjoy his sister's cute acts.
"Since brother isn't saying anything then that means you promised to allow me go out. My friend is still waiting for me. I'll go now."
After saying that Shi Ning also did not wait for her brother to say anything else and quickly slipped out of his side.
Shi Chen just shook his head dotingly and shouted.
"Come back early."
"I know!."
After going out, Shi Ning realized that her brother was right.
It was indeed very cold today!
She didn't let the family driver drop her off and just took a taxi straight to the cinema.
Christmas was just one day away, and the mall was filled with holiday cheer and cheerful songs.
Shi Ning get off the taxi, in front of the mall building.
It was the first time that she had seen this concept of Christmas.
She saw a giant Christmas tree full of presents, it was also surrounded by stall selling Christmas gifts.
There were many people coming and going, she could see some of these people were even wearing Christmas hats.
Seeing this fascinating things, Shi Ning thought to herself.
It's not bad to come out on a day like this!
"Suno, are you there yet?
Shi Ning called Suno.
"I'm at the entrance of the cinema."
"I just arrive, I'll come straight up to you."
After saying this, Shi Ning took the elevator to the third floor where the cinema was located.
The movie theatre in this mall was quite large, but since it's weekend today there were a lot of people.
Thinking that she may not be able to see Lin Suno, she was thought of calling him again if she couldn't find him.
However as soon as she arrived at the third floor she immediately found Lin Suno.
And for some unknown reasons, a circle of girls surrounded him within three meter, him in the center.
In school, students often see him more and understood his nature better so they don't dwell too much about him nor his beauty except the secret glances and inner squeals.
But it would be a different story outside, especially in places like cinemas where there were more young people.
Lin Suno was too eye-catching to miss.
Though this group of girls, did not dare to get too close to him. They could only kept staring at him from a distance of about two to three people away.
"So handsome, that handsome man has been standing there alone for a long time."
"I came to see my idol's movie today but as a result when I arrived here I met an even more beautiful boy than my idol! I won't be a fan anymore, how can a passer-by so handsome? What do we need our idol for?"
"I really want to ask him his WeChat and phone number but I don't know if he has a girlfriend."
"He looks like he was waiting for someone, right? Noooooooooo it can't be his girlfriend, does a handsome person like him have a girlfriend?"
"He's so handsome so of course he has a girlfriend. It would not be normal to be so handsome without a girlfriend, so I demand to know what kind of fairy his girlfriend is."
Shi Ning suddenly felt it was not good to come up to him, it was a little inappropriate.
Chapter 120
Translator: Kyotot
Lin Suno was wearing a camel-colored coat today and a beige scarf around his neck.
The hair was smoothly combed, looking like a good boy who pays great attention of keeping himself warm.
Probably because the surrounding eyes were too eager Lin Suno felt some light discomfort making his expression tight.
Seemingly sensing her coming, he who had been hanging his head to look at his phone looked up and searched in the crowd.
Then his eyes landed on Shi Ning.
The impatience on his face disappeared in an instant the moment he saw her, and with a smile hidden in his eyes he waved at her.
Shi Ning walked towards him, and handed him a cup of milk tea.
"It's for you, still hot."
Lin Suno took the milk tea and lowered down his head to talk to her.
This scene was caught in the eyes of the eager crowd surrounding them.
"…..I'm convince, it really is a fairy. Handsome and beautiful together they do create a good picture."
"So there's the master, sister, disperse."
When Shi Ning heard them say this, she jokingly said to Lin Suno.
"Am I blocking your peach blossom luck? Look at your group of ladies, there are two girls that are particularly beautiful in them."
After saying this, she notice that the original smiling face of Lin Suno was suddenly gloomy.
"What, what's wrong?"
So did he really blamed me for blocking his peach blossom?
"If you think it's a pity I can go and explain to them for you."
Shi Ning said this and deliberately turned around making her way to go where the girls were.
Lin Suno held her.
"Ningning don't keep making joke like that."
"Hahahaha."
She doesn't know why but Shi Ning just especially likes to tease Lin Suno who was always serious.
Since teasing him like this, makes him particularly easy to blush.
"They're not as beautiful as you."
Lin Suno said seriously.
Okay, now the table were turned. The one blushing now was her.
Shi Ning took the movie tickets, when she saw a lot of people holding buckets of popcorns in their hands.
"Should we buy?"
She asked.
"Listen to you."
Listen to me.. then let's buy it.
Lin Suno helped her with the popcorn and drinks. And the two of them entered the cinema together.
Today there were quite a lot of people watching the movie, the theater was spacious but large part of it were already occupied.
They were watching a literary film today, Shi Ning saw that the online reviews were good and chose this.
When watching the movie, Shi Ning saw what she thought was funny and wanted to discuss it with Lin Suno.
But when she leaned over, she found that the person next to her was sitting upright with a serious expression as if he was listening to an academic lecture.
The whole people in the cinema was laughing but not him.
"Suno, we're just watching a movie what are you so nervous about?"
Lin Suno stiffly answered.
"I'm not nervous."
"Then don't be so stiff, come and eat something."
As she said this, she put the popcorn in the middle. Lin Suno saw her eating with great pleasure, looking at her he also began to eat popcorn.
This was the first time that he and her were too close sitting together and since the theater has dim lights it added to something ambiguous in the atmosphere.
Shi Ning may not think too much about it, but not him.
She was always surrounded with people all time and it was hard to get a moment of peacefulness with her.
He was afraid that if he did not do a good job, he would make her feel that staying with him was boring.
In order not to let her see that he was unnatural he had to find something to do, and eating perhaps was a good solution.
Shi Ning who was engrossed watching the movie unconsciously reached out her hand in the popcorn bucket.
But this time, instead of a popcorn in her hand she touched others hand.
Two hands bumped each other, and instantly their eyes met but retracted their gaze followed by her hand and so was Lin Suno.
And for the rest of the movie, no one touches the bucket of popcorn.
