Chapter 22 Slander

  Su Xiaoli turned her head to look at Gu Moning, unexpectedly, she didn't wake up.

  Lowered her head and took a closer look, it's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, she retracted quickly, otherwise Meng Ning would have been disfigured.

  But what's with Mening's wet face? This girl is crying again!

  Su Xiao helplessly rolled her eyes. When she had confessed to Shen Rui and was publicly rejected, she hadn't been this heartbroken, let alone cried.

  Good grief, what a silly girl.

  Su Xiao sighed and looked at Gu Mengning with tears all over her face, gently wiping them away with his hand.

  Gu Merning walked on a flat and bright big road, which was arranged by her parents for her. She was very happy that her father and mother were so good to her, and her whole life was happier than others.

  But as she walked, a small road suddenly appeared beside her. This little road was brighter than the one her parents had paved for her long ago, and it was even dazzling to the eyes.

  Always content with quiet and calm, Ning's heart was moved. She wanted to give it a try. This life doesn't have to be too smooth, but if there were more unexpected things, it would be more fun.

  Gu Mian Ning walked away and onto that even more dazzling little path. She saw Shen Rui, still with the same smile, as if nothing had changed.

  Shen Rui said, "Fool, trust me, follow me." So Gu Mo'ning believed him and followed him.

  "But Shen Rui, you scoundrel, big scoundrel, you told me to trust you, why didn't you wait for me, why did you leave so quickly?"

  Gu Mò Níng had been following Shěn Ruì all along, but no matter how fast she went, he was always faster. She could never catch up to him. Gu Mò Níng stopped in her tracks and stood still.

  Shen Rui turned around and smiled at her, so dazzling that she wanted to get closer, wanted to hug him, and wanted to grasp the unusual light that appeared in her life.

  But he actually came over and pushed her! Behind her was an ice cellar with no bottom in sight, how ruthless he was! He said, "You're really stupid, I deceived you and you still believed me."

  A thousand feet deep chasm cannot compare to the despair his one sentence brought her. A thousand years of icy cellar cannot compare to the chill his ruthlessness brought her.

  "Silent, silent..."

  Who is calling her? There's a thread of familiarity and warmth, a faint light in desperation.

  "Menning, Menning, wake up." Su Xiao looked at Gu Menning crying more and more violently, and hurriedly called out to her.

  Gu Merning silently used all her strength to fly towards the direction of that faint light, and she finally woke up.

  Gu Muer opened her eyes to see Su Xiao's tightly furrowed brow, and through tear-filled eyes, she could no longer make out anything else. But she knew that this was the ray of light that had saved her.

  She hugged Su Xiao and cried unscrupulously, venting her emotions thoroughly.

  At this time, the school had already spread rumors about Gu Moning skipping class. There were even various versions of how Gu Moning was abandoned by Shen Rui and became depraved.

  It has spread so widely that even all teachers already know about it.

  "Ding..." Gu Mengning's phone suddenly rang, and Su Xiao furrowed her brow. Mengning was still heartbroken and had blocked out everything around her, so she could only answer it herself.

  Su Xiao had no choice but to free up one hand to take over Gu Mo Ning's phone and glance at the caller ID.

  Old witch! Old witch?

  Why did she call Mo Ning? Suddenly remembering those girls seen while climbing over the wall today, a bad premonition surged in her heart.

  Su Xiao glanced at Gu Mo Ning with a tilted head, definitely not letting the old witch hear that Mo Ning was crying. She pulled Gu Mo Ning away and made a silencing gesture. "Shh, it's the old witch's phone."

  Gu Muer Ning shrank into the quilt like a small beast that had been frightened, trembling with fear. In fact, she was just sobbing silently.

  Su Xiao looked at Gu Mo Ning and could only sigh, walking to the door to answer the phone.

  "Hello, Teacher Xiao, is there something I can help you with?"

  "Su Xiao, where is Gu Mornin?"

  "Oh, she's not feeling well, she's resting."

  "Where are you?"

  "We were in the dormitory, teacher, we didn't ask for leave, I told you already?"

  "Come to my office right now, immediately."

  "But teacher, Meng Ning is still sleeping..."

  "Mmm...mmm..."

  "Awesome!"

  The phone rang busy tone, Su Xiao angrily shouted a sentence.

  Turning around to look at Gu Mò Níng, who was still crying under the covers, her elegant and heroic eyebrows furrowed into a knot. With a burst of anger, she stomped over, the floorboards continuously making "thudding" sounds.

  Walked to the bed, gently pushed the quilt-wrapped Gu Mò Níng. "Mò Níng, stop crying, hurry up and get up, the old witch wants us to go to her office."

  "I don't know what she ate, but her temper is so explosive. Before I could even finish speaking, she hung up the phone on me. This clearly shows that she's not getting what she wants." Su Xiao stared at the wall in front of her, gritting her teeth.

  "What? I'm fine." Gu Mò Níng lifted the quilt, her tearful eyes gazing at Su Xiǎo. Why did the class advisor want her to go to the office at this time? But she couldn't care about that now, first she needed to calm down and collect herself, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain why her eyes were puffy like a small bun.

  Gu Mengning quickly ran from the bed to the bathroom, and after washing up for a while, Su Xiao had already tidied up the bed.

  Gu Merning looked at the two small steamed buns in the mirror, really, even she herself wanted to eat them up, it was too obvious. She could only slightly use ice water to apply a light smoky makeup.

  If it doesn't look normal, then let's just say it looks tired. Anyway, Xiao Xiao also helped her ask the class teacher for a sick leave.

  "Knock knock knock"

  "Please come in."

  "Teacher Xiao." Gu Mò Níng habitually smiled politely and softly called out to the class advisor in front of her.

  Su Xiao stood beside him, greeting the teacher with the same posture and tone as Gu Mo Ning, but without his weakness.

  Teacher Xiao glanced at them and then cast her eyes on the computer, doing something unknown. Gu Merning and Su Xiao could only stand there quietly.

  "Look at all the good things you've done!" After a while, Teacher Xiao suddenly turned the computer screen around to face them with a burst of anger.

  Above was a photo of the two of them climbing over the wall that morning. Gu Mengning's already pale face had lost all its blood, her left hand tightly grasping onto Su Xiao, barely holding herself up.

  "Good students, model students of the rocket class, and you two are taking a leave of absence to do this kind of thing. It's really disappointing."

  The class leader in front of them became more and more excited, holding a pen and constantly tapping on the table, finally slapping the pen down and standing up to ask the two of them.

  "What's going on? You two are usually quite honest, how did you do something so irrational today? Especially you, Guo Mo Ning. Look at this picture, what does it say? The school flower was dumped by the school grass, and the school flower fell into depravity!"

  The table was slapped loudly by the class leader in front of him, and Gu Mo Ning even felt that there were lingering sounds echoing in his ears.

  "Teacher Xiao, we've never seen that person called Shen Rui before, let alone him dumping Mo Ning. This is all a scam, someone's just jealous of Mo Ning and intentionally slandering her."

  "What about this photo? Ah? Was the photo also intentionally discredited?"

  "Teacher, Merning and I just wanted to take a look at the view on the wall, we didn't plan to climb over."

  Su Xiao was afraid that something had really happened to Gu Mo Ning, and she hastily made up all sorts of excuses. The more she spoke, the more agitated she became, and she directly pushed Gu Mo Ning in front of their class teacher.
