"I hope nothing will happen to Muzi!"

Qin Shi grabbed Jiang Baige's hand and couldn't stop trembling.

Jiang Baige held her tightly and said, "Don't worry, let's go and take a look first... No matter what happens, we can work together to find a solution. We will definitely be able to solve it."

The whole dormitory building was quiet, especially the floor where Cen Muzi was located, which was mostly populated by graduates. It was far from the noise of the past. Even Qin Shi, who occasionally came to the dormitory to look for Cen Muzi, was so nervous at first that she went to the wrong place.

"Muzi, it's me. I'm Qin Shi."

But no matter how Qin Shi and Jiang Baige knocked on the door, there was no response.

A girl dragging a suitcase passed by them and kindly reminded them: Most people left this dormitory yesterday, so they may have all gone home.

Even Qin Shi felt a little frustrated after hearing this and stopped knocking on the door.

But Jiang Baige was unwilling to give up and continued knocking on the door.

If we can't find Cen Muzi today, things will become more difficult.

Jiang Baige had already asked on the way here, and Qin Shi didn't have the phone number of Cen Muzi's parents. In other words, this was the only way for them to contact Cen Muzi now.

To take a step back, if Cen Muzi was not in the dormitory, where else could he be?

With her parents?

Cen Muzi is so sensible. She knows that her parents are worried about her grandmother’s illness and they have to squeeze out time to come to school... Is it possible that she will tell her parents about the inexplicable cyberbullying at this time and make them worry?

She certainly won't.

Then she could only hide in the dormitory.

Therefore, Jiang Baige made up her mind: even if she broke the door and pried open the lock... she would not leave until she confirmed that Cen Muzi was not in the dormitory.

At this moment, Qin Shi slapped her forehead suddenly, and said with sudden enlightenment: "Oh, why am I so stupid! Can't I just call her? If she is in the dormitory, she might hear the sound."

A phone call came in, but Jiang Baige pressed her ear against the door and didn't hear the ringtone.

"But I seem to hear a buzzing vibration sound. How about...you play another one?"

She was also afraid that she was hallucinating because she was too excited.

Qin Shi also put his ear to the door, trying to hear the sound inside.

"Muzi, it's us! Are you in the dormitory? If you are, can you please call us back..."

On this side, Jiang Baige continued to knock and shout on the door.

On the other side, Qin Shi was making calls tirelessly and persistently.

Finally... Cen Muzi's phone was turned off...

Qin Shi and Jiang Baige looked at each other, finding it a little ridiculous, but they were anxious and devastated. The expressions on their faces were distorted, and they didn't look like they were crying or laughing.

Jiang Baige made up her mind and said, "Qin Shi, how about I kick the door open?"

Qin Shi grabbed Jiang Baige. After all, Jiang Baige was also on scholarship. If she committed an illegal act of destroying public property, it would be bad for her: "Don't be impulsive! Otherwise... I'll contact the counselor..."

Not to mention how well graduate student counselors really understand their students, just thinking about how to find a counselor for the graduating class across departments would require a lot of effort.

Moreover, just a few vague sentences are not very convincing.

Things have reached an impasse.

Jiang Baige gave up on herself: "No matter what, she has to eat, right? If she wants to eat, she has to open the door... How about we eat instant noodles at the door to arouse her greed?"

Although this idea is bad, it is not impossible.

Qin Shi went downstairs to buy instant noodles without saying anything. Unexpectedly, the door lock opened with a click.

Behind the door was Cen Muzi's expressionless face, half bright and half dark, indescribably gloomy, pulling people directly from the midday temperature of over 30 degrees into the world of ice and snow.

She opened the door, said nothing, turned around, and walked back into the dormitory.

Jiang Baige and Qin Shi followed behind and entered the room. Without saying anything, they turned on the lights in the dormitory first.

"what……"

Cen Muzi let out a low moan. The dormitory at Anjing University had a bed above and a desk below, so Cen Muzi could only move the chair and move herself into the shadows.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. How did you become like this?"

Qin Shi's eyes were full of heartache.

The little girl who was full of energy and hope a few days ago, was now curled up, her eyes were almost unfocused, her lips were colorless, and her hair was greasy, dry and tangled, as if something had sucked all the vitality out of her.

The laptop on her desk was still lit because she had moved her chair to make room for the screen.

Jiang Baige leaned over, took a look, and closed the computer with a snap.

Qin Shi was startled: "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Baige did not answer her, but walked up to Cen Muzi and asked, "Have you been watching these these days?"

It was as if these words had turned on a switch in Cen Muzi. He suddenly stood up from his chair, waved his hands, paced back and forth, and spoke rapidly.

"I don't know... why! Why do those people say that I dye my hair and am not a decent person! They say that I am a disgrace to AnDa and that I must have used improper means to get in! They also photoshopped my photos with all kinds of strange bodies, saying that I am a prostitute and a nightclub celebrity. They even made up stories about which nightclub, what my nickname was, and how many times they had called me..."

Cen Muzi grabbed her hair hard. Jiang Baige and Qin Shi stepped forward together to stop her crazy behavior of tearing her hair out.

Then, she went from a state of rage to a state of near-death calm.

She sat down on the ground. Jiang Baige and Qin Shi didn't react in time and couldn't stop her at all.

"What did I do wrong... Was it just because I dyed my hair red? But so many people in the world dye their hair, and some people are born with colored hair, why doesn't anyone blame me? And, it's not... it's not like that! What they said is wrong, I haven't even been to a nightclub, what about working as a prostitute, anything... I don't understand... Why no one listens to my explanation? Why? Do I have a split personality? Did I really do it? When I was sleepwalking? Or that one is the real me, and the me now..."

"No!" Jiang Baige held Cen Muzi's shoulders with both hands, "It's those people who are slandering you, you didn't do anything! Look, I also have red hair, we are the same! It's not your problem, it's those people's hearts are dirty, so everything they see is dirty."

"Yes, Muzi, don't be afraid, we will help you fight back against those people!"

"Yes! I have asked my friend who studies law, and she said that you can ask her tutor to recommend a lawyer who is good at handling defamation lawsuits. You will be fine..."

But Cen Muzi seemed no longer willing to listen to their advice.

She shook her head woodenly, not even noticing her tears falling, but suddenly she started to laugh foolishly: "What should I do? They also said they would report me to my workplace, saying that someone like me is not worthy of a decent job..."

The worst thing happened: those people had already dug out Cen Muzi's personal information...
