Because Huangfu Yi left, Chu Yisen couldn't find an excuse to stay in Murong Xue's villa. He moved away the next day, but the 10 guards remained outside of Murong Xue's villa.
Murong Xue didn't agree at first because she didn't want strangers at home. Besides, Long Yi was gone. But Chu Yisen said that he wanted to keep her safe. His worrying looks made her relent a bit. How could she refuse? And the guards just stayed outside the villa, so finally, she agreed.
Today Murong Xue walked to the classroom as usual and was soon surrounded by the Gang of Five.
"Xiaoliu, I heard that you joined the student union for the sake of the president!" Xiaosi joked.
"Are you blind? You passed a golden man like me and took a liking to that nerd?" Xiaosan looked at her with contempt.
"..." The five of them babbled around Murong Xue.
After a while, Murong Xue asked, "What are you talking about? Can you speak human language? I couldn't understand your alien language." She shrugged innocently. She really didn’t know what happened.
They looked at her for a while, confused. Finally, Laoda spoke first, "Xiaoliu, don't you know what happened? The news got around school."
Murong Xue looked blank. Students seemed to be more agitated than usual, but she got used to everyone's attention every day, so she didn't pay much attention. Did anything happen again? "What's the matter?"
"Didn't you see the forum of our school? The rumor had got more than 100,000 messages in just one day," Xiaowu said while licking her lollipops.
"Forum? I didn't notice. What did they say?" Murong Xue asked.
Laoda turned on his laptop and gave it to Murong Xue. "Look at it yourself."
The school forum was divided into three sections, namely, the public section, the private section, and the activity section. The public section was where all people could view and reply to the posts, not limited to the students of the school. The private version was for the students of the University of Medicine who could view and leave messages. Besides, an IP could only register an account, and it must be bound to the student ID number. So people knew who replied to a message. The activity section allowed students to initiate activities on the school forum, but not everyone had the right as people needed to reach a certain level.
Murong Xue saw the headline in the public section. The red title read: “Murong Xue, a Medical Freshman Genius, Joined the Student Union for Courtship! Abuse Power for Personal Gains!”
She clicked in without hesitation. What jumped into the line of sight was the photo of her in school uniform. In this photo, she and Liu Huali walked on campus, smiling at each other on the first day of school. There was information about her.
Name: Murong Xue
Hometown: Countryside
Objective: Pursuing Liu Huali, the president of the student union
Rumors were enumerated, including how she fell in love with Liu Huali at first sight and got into the student union to get close to Liu Huali; how she took part in the examination and became the vice president of the student union as a freshman by using Professor Bai's fame; and how she took the student union as a tool for her courtship.
A load of messaged followed.
1: “OMG! Murong Xue was a genius goddess!”
2: “Upstairs, you're stupid. It's obvious that Murong Xue used her position to approach the president of the student union. This is complete contempt for the student union of our school, okay? Such a person doesn't have the right to stay in the student union.”
3: “2 must be jealous of the goddess. Who is the blogger? Is it true?”
4: “...”
There was a flood of messages below, which were mixed reviews. But that was not the point. Murong Xue had just been elected as the vice president of the student union and such a thing took place, which had a great influence on the student union. Some even questioned the fairness of the examination. If this matter was not solved soon, perhaps Murong Xue's position would be revoked.
Arguably, it was just gossip. But if it was hooked with the examination of the student union, it would directly affect the fame of the University of Medicine. The school would not ignore it. It depended on how Murong Xue would deal with it.
Murong Xue frowned. What happened? She didn't remember she had offended anyone. If Xiao Keli had been still here, it would have been definitely caused by her. She just entered the school, and it was clear that someone didn't like her and wanted to cause her trouble. What a headache!
"Hey, Xiaoliu, you are so absorbed. It can't be true, right?" Xiaowu asked in surprise. Though they just joked like that, they wouldn't believe it was true.
"Do you think I am such a person?" Murong Xue laughed.
"Don't be silly. How could you be like this? Do you have any idea? Who did this?" Laoda asked in a heavy voice.
She shook her head and then looked at the stressed expressions of them who were just teasing her. She smiled again. "What's wrong with you guys? It's nothing to make a fuss about."
"We're worried about you. Can you be a little nervous?"
Murong Xue shrugged her shoulders and laughed with confidence. "What are you worried about? Maybe I'm so charming that people are jealous!"
They were dumbfounded at the same time. Why was she so calm? It seemed Xiaoliu didn't care and returned the laptop to Laoda. She even began to read a book on her seat. It was so urgent but she was in the mood to read. Who knew why? The five of them wanted to pull her out and beat her to clear up her mind.
"What's the matter with you? Looking at me so bitterly?" Murong Xue asked innocently.
She actually had the nerve to say that. It was because of her. Xiaowu was quick-tempered and immediately asked, "Xue, you would leave this matter alone?"
"Why not?" Murong Xue turned over the textbook without looking up.
Even Xiaosi was worried. "Xiaoliu, if necessary, we can help."
Murong Xue put down her textbook and looked up at them. "I know. Don't worry. It's a little troublesome because the post is in the public section, and it is anonymous. We don’t know who did it. But I'll see what I can do." If she remained silent, these people would go bananas.
"I don't think it's a simple gossip post. You see. You just became the vice president and such a thing happened. It was clear that it was aimed at you. If things got bigger, it would cause great trouble. What about the president of the student union?" Xiao'er asked.
Murong Xue shook her head. "He'd better remain silent at this time. If he comes out to make a statement, people will say that even the president is covering me up, and then it may be more troublesome. I think he just keeps quiet for this reason, just like me. What is a rumor? The more you care about it, the faster it travels!"
"But you can't leave it like this!" Xiaosan said. Xiaoliu was their person. How could they leave her bullied? Then he smiled wickedly, "Xiaoliu, I have a wonderful idea to solve this problem in one fell swoop."
They all looked at him in unison, and Xiaosi slapped him on the head. "Out with it. Don't keep us waiting."
Murong Xue also looked at Xiaosan curiously. Usually, Xiaosan looked a little cheesy but smart, and he never took the normal path to solve things. In his words, the fastest way to solve problems was a good way, and it was unnecessary to bother with forms. To tell the truth, Murong Xue quite appreciated his practice. He was good at calculation. Maybe he had some good methods.
Xiaosan showed a wretched smile. When everyone was about to punch him again, he grabbed Murong Xue's shoulder and said to her ear, "That is to be my girlfriend!" How was it? Wasn't it awesome?
The others greeted him with fists without hesitation.
"How dare you have that thought, you bad boy!"
"I thought you had an awesome idea."
"You deserve the beating. You already had a bunch of women outside, and now you dare to settle your eyes on our pal."
"Give him a good beating!"
"Stop! This is the only good method."
"Still don't admit your mistake! Punch him!"
"Don't punch my face. I have to trade on my good looks."
"..."
After a long time, a strange face appeared in front of Murong Xue, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You guys are jealous of my good looks so that you punched me in the face. Xiaoliu, you have the nerve to laugh at me. I did this for the sake of you!" Xiaosan complained and rubbed his black and blue face.
"My beating skills get rusty. Now I finally caught someone to practice my punches. It felt so comfortable." Xiaosi shook her tender hands.
"Me, too. I want to do it again."
“Someone was still not chastened.”
Four people stared with glowing eyes at Xiaosan sitting in front of Murong Xue. There was excitement in their eyes.
"You guys..." Xiaosan felt someone had shot holes in every part of him.
They were really friends for keeps. Murong Xue was in a much better mood. "I think Xiaosan's proposal is good." Originally, the point of the post was Murong Xue's admiration for Liu Huali, the president of the student union. If she had a boyfriend, then the rumor would be nullified, so it was really a good idea.
Xiaowu came up to Murong Xue and exclaimed, "Xiaoliu, don't lose your mind. Xiaosan isn’t worth it. He has a lot of shortcomings and no advantages at all!"
"Though handsome, he's a total bad boy. Don't be fooled by him." Xiaosi gave Xiaosan a dirty look and said worriedly.
Xiao’er nodded to show agreement.
Laoda tried to persuade her. "Xiaoliu, if you want to be with Xiaosan, you’d better quit the position of the vice president of the student union. Xiaosan can't bring you happiness!" He looked worried as if his own child had messed with the wrong person.
Xiaosan’s inner voice went like this, “Why are you so cruel to me? Can we get along well? I’m seething with rage!”
Even Murong Xue looked sympathetically at Xiaosan. That was the consequence of causing public outrage. To show that she agreed with the other four, Murong Xue also nodded seriously, completely ignoring Xiaosan's sad eyes.
The result of the discussion was to wait and see for the time being, and the most important thing was to find out the person behind. The person who posted the blog was sure to take the next step, so they only needed to see how it unfolded. If things worsened, they would use Xiaosan's method to give the bad guy a fatal blow.
Liu Huali, of course, saw the post, knowing that someone made use of him, but he didn't go to Murong Xue. Though he was mild-tempered, he was no pushover and wouldn’t tolerate mudslinging. Besides, a friend he valued much was involved, so such an act couldn't be forgiven. He had started to investigate the IP of the poster in secret.
The person could take photos of him and Murong Xue taking a walk on campus, so he or she must be from their school. It also involved the examination of the student union. As the president of the student union, he definitely would not let the person get away with it. He was just a little worried that Murong Xue would be troubled when she saw this post. After all, he invited her to take part in the examination of the student union. Now that such a thing happened, he felt bad, but there was no time for guilty. He must find out who posted the post as soon as possible.
As time went by, more and more people started bickering below the post. Half were Murong Xue's fans, and half were people who didn’t like her. The two sides held their own opinions and got into a dispute.
To Murong Xue's surprise, so many people stood up for her. Some even asked her to conquer Liu Huali, which cracked her up. But she felt so warm inside. It was nothing like last time. When the incident of Yang Feng happened in A province, people all lashed out at her.
Murong Xue went to school as usual and didn't seem to care about the incident at all. Long Meijing didn’t know why she was so angry. She tried so hard to torture her, but Murong Xue just brushed her off as if nothing had happened. Now that trouble of this level couldn’t get her attention, Long Meijing had to make it bigger and saw how she could remain so calm when she saw it.
