After resting for several days, Shen Zhao finally returned to school. To her surprise, many students seemed to stop pointing fingers at her and instead discussed other issues in private.
"You're finally back, Zhao Zhao!"
Xu Ke and Ma Shuyi walked to her seat. Xu Ke was very happy to see Shen Zhao. Ma Shuyi relaxed his frown when he saw that she was fine, but she still had a sullen look on her face, as if she didn't want anyone to approach her.
"What's the matter? I just asked for a few days off. Is that a big deal?"
Ma Shuyi's tone was calm, but what he said really shocked Shen Zhao, "I'm glad you're okay. Have you heard? The tall girl in the liberal arts class dropped out."
"Who?"
"A tall girl in the liberal arts class, very conspicuous, she was asked to join the school sports meet when there were not enough boys."
The image of the last girl who left the bathroom flashed through Shen Zhao's mind. Although she didn't think that person was very good, she didn't hold much ill will towards her because she covered her head with her long sleeves.
"what happened?"
"I don't know. That girl dropped out of school on her own, citing family reasons. But now is her senior year in high school, a critical time. Even the most willful families will let their children take the college entrance examination first, right?" Xu Ke complained.
Xu Ke's consideration was obviously not on the right track. Shen Zhao looked at Ma Shuyi, and seeing that she seemed hesitant to speak, he knew that she must know something.
"You say it."
"She was in Lu Siming's support team, but she probably didn't have much interest in Lu Siming. I don't know why she stayed there, but her expulsion this time is probably related to Xu Yaoyao."
"How to say?"
"Xu Yaoyao's family is quite well-off, just a little worse than the Lu family. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people who think Xu Yaoyao will become the young mistress of the Lu family in the future."
"Are you saying that the girl left after being pressured?"
Ma Shuyi nodded silently, "This is very likely. What happened that night? I noticed that the girls in their group were not quite right the next day."
The day Ma Shuyi was referring to was of course the night Shen Zhao was imprisoned.
Shen Zhao didn't take it seriously. "I was just bullied. It's nothing. It's not their fault."
In fact, she was on fire, but she didn't want to worry the two little girls in front of her, so she didn't tell the truth, just that she was rescued.
Thinking of the methods used by Xu Yaoyao's girl group, Ma Shuyi couldn't help but frown again, "Are you really okay? They have quite a few methods."
"Look, I'm back safe and sound now, what could possibly happen?"
Seeing that Shen Zhao didn't tell the truth and didn't force her, Ma Shuyi sighed and said, "Our school has good and bad sides. The bad side is that there are too many powerful students who can easily change other people's lives. Normal students have to avoid them. But it's no wonder that there are so many of them. The families behind those students donate so much to Deyan every year. Even teachers have to give them some face, and these are passed down a long time ago."
It was almost time for dinner, so Xu Ke suggested that they talk while walking, and Ma Shuyi agreed.
There is a secluded path near the canteen. At the end of the path is the garden behind the experimental building. The path is very narrow and can only accommodate one or two people. Because there is no lighting, few students walk that way, except for some bad students. Shen Zhao remembers this path, but she has never walked on it once in her memory, because in her memory her high school life was very short. She skipped grades and even saved the college entrance examination and was directly admitted to a prestigious university.
Ma Shuyi also saw it, and she pointed at the path, "Do you know this path?"
The two looked at her and nodded and shook their heads.
Ma Shuyi curled his lips, "You are such a bookworm. Although I also heard from my family that this is a love story that happened on this path, it didn't start well."
The three of them walked into the cafeteria, got their food, and sat down. Xu Ke continued to ask, "What did you just say, the beginning?"
Ma Shuyi then said, "Do you know that Deyan has a very impressive graduate who graduated several years ago?"
"Female? Male?" Shen Zhao asked. It was definitely not her. She was admitted through recommendation. Even if it was recorded, it would be useless because she did not attend any graduation ceremony at all.
"male."
"Is it the one with the portrait in the school history museum?" Xu Ke asked excitedly. She remembered that person also graduated a few years ago.
"It seems so. Anyway, there was such a person. Guess what happened to him in that alley?"
"Based on what you said before, that could be bullying, right?"
Ma Shuyi has been very confident in Shen Zhao's intelligence since she returned to school. "Yes, that person had no power and was bullied by a group of rich and powerful people. That period was probably the darkest moment for that person."
"Maybe, and then?"
"Being rescued, pretty cliché, right?"
"Since those people are so rich and powerful, even if they are rescued, they will only become worse."
"The strange thing is that after that man was rescued, those people never bothered him again."
"What about his savior?"
"My family said it was a girl, but she disappeared. There is no record of her in the school. If my cousin hadn't seen her from a distance at that time, he would have thought it was a god who saved her."
“How can it be a love story if one party disappears?”
"It's unrequited love. The graduate has always liked that person, but he just hasn't found the one."
Shen Zhao stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon, absent-mindedly, and it was unclear whether he listened or not. After a while, he asked, "How do you know that the graduate has a one-sided love?"
"My cousin said that the man would often appear in the path, standing there for the entire break, and during the big break he would just sit there and not come out."
"That's interesting, but I wonder if he's in love with the guy or if he's thinking about how to torture those who bully him!"
Xu Ke was the first to disagree, "Shen Zhao, you can't be so dark-minded. Think more about the good things. I think what Ma Shuyi's cousin said is right. He must be the one who has unrequited love."
Shen Zhao had no interest in whether the graduate had always had a crush on the person who saved him. Now she only cared about how to pull Xu Yaoyao and Fang Cheng out. She had disliked them for a long time.
When the three of them returned to the classroom, they were stopped by the class monitor.
"What's wrong?" Ma Shuyi asked.
The monitor pointed to the whiteboard on the podium and said, "For the class trip, almost everyone in our class has formed a group. There are not many people left. If you want to form a group together," the monitor glanced at Shen Zhao and Xu Ke, "then hurry up, otherwise you will have to be assigned to other groups."
"Thank you for the reminder." Ma Shuyi thanked him in a firm tone.
Everyone could tell that the monitor was not very friendly to them. It should be said that he had no intention of targeting them, he just simply disliked Shen Zhao.
Xu Ke didn't care too much. She held Shen Zhao's hand and said, "Let's form a group, okay? It seems that there should be four people in a group. We can just find one more person."
Shen Zhao had no objection. "Just look for them. I don't know anyone in the class anyway."
The matter was decided so happily. Xu Ke was responsible for finding people. The other students in the class had a good relationship with her. In the end, a girl named Li Kui was pulled. She had no presence in the class and usually only focused on reviewing and didn't care about other things at all. It was of course a good thing for her to be pulled by Xu Ke, otherwise she would have been assigned randomly.
After this was over, there was one thing that made the whole grade feel heavy, and that was the midterm exam. The midterm exam was scheduled right before the grade trip, so the damn time for announcing the scores was scheduled after the joyful graduation trip.
When this news was announced, the entire grade wailed and accused Deyan Middle School of inhumanity.
Amid everyone's intense reactions, Shen Zhao seemed out of place. She was too calm, and it seemed that no arrangements could affect her. Some people said that she was confident, while others said that she was a fool and did not understand what fear was.
The midterm exam is a periodic exam in the third year of high school. Its importance can be imagined. It is a consideration for the sprint in the next six months. If you do well in the exam, you need to consolidate your performance. If you do not do well in the exam, you have to work harder.
In the days before the exam, the entire senior class was immersed in the atmosphere of review. Most people had no time to gossip about whether Shen Zhao was really kept by someone. Even in the evening self-study class, more people came. Shen Zhao still did the questions at his own pace. After an unknown amount of time, when Shen Zhao wanted to relax his neck, he found that the person sitting next to him was Lu Siming.
He seemed to have no sense of distance towards her and sat down without even saying hello.
She glanced at him with a clear gaze, "Why are you sitting here?"
"I sat here a long time ago, but you were too focused to notice."
"What's up?"
Shen Zhao's attitude towards Lu Siming and Yuan Hongwei was almost the same, but he was a little more lenient towards Lu Siming because this little brat was not that annoying.
"I want to ask you a question."
"Go ahead."
Lu Siming pointed to the last question on the math test paper and said, "The teacher didn't explain this question before. Do you know how to do it?"
Shen Zhao took the test paper to his desk and took a quick look at it. The last two questions on the math test paper are usually used to widen the gap between top students and ordinary students. They are usually not explained in school. One reason is that there is not enough time, and the other is that the knowledge points are beyond the syllabus for students at this stage. If you want to do well in the last two questions, you usually have to attend extracurricular tutoring classes. However, Lu Siming surprised her a little. He only didn't know how to do the last question. This was already a great advantage compared to other students.
She picked up the pen and quickly wrote down the solution process. After she finished writing, she realized what she had done. She turned her head away and said, "You don't mind, do you?"
"of course not."
All Lu Siming saw was Shen Zhao working seriously on the questions. He had already seen the answers and knew that what Shen Zhao did was right. In a trance, he felt that everything had changed for Shen Zhao when she returned to school this time. She became sparkling and was no longer the girl who squatted behind the school wall that year, looking at stray cats lonely and timidly.
"Here you go. See if you can understand it. If you don't, ask again."
Lu Siming had a solid foundation, and as the successor of the Lu family, he had learned university content early on. So for him, the knowledge points involved in the last two questions were what he had learned before, so it was not difficult for him to watch Shen Zhao's problem-solving process.
He looked at her with bright eyes, "Shen Zhao, I didn't expect you to be so capable! What did you do before returning to school? Did you secretly take extra classes?"
Shen Zhao tilted his head and looked at him without saying anything. There was a sense of mystery around him that made people want to explore.
Gradually other people knew about Shen Zhao's excellence. Many people in Class 6 gave up their prejudice against Shen Zhao and took the initiative to approach her just to solve one or two difficult problems. After all, in front of grades, those groundless gossips were not worth mentioning. Shen Zhao was too lazy to bother with these little brats. Since they were willing to lower themselves to ask her for help, there was no reason for her to ignore it. It was just a matter of question-solving skills.
One of them was Li Kui, a new member of their team. This girl didn't talk much and it was hard for her to pay attention to anything other than studying. She was so focused and she never missed any opportunity to improve her grades. After hearing that Shen Zhao was generous in teaching others how to solve difficult problems, she also joined the evening self-study group, even though she was not on the list.
Shen Zhao never thought about showing off in school, but there are some things that are useless for her to avoid even if she wants to. One is the scandal, and the other is the familiarity with the college entrance examination that was inadvertently revealed.
Soon, everyone's good impression of her overshadowed the scandals, and the previous posts seemed to have never appeared. Everyone tacitly did not mention them, and Shen Zhao seemed to stay in school longer.
"Zhao Zhao, haven't you come back yet?" Mu Yanchen asked Situ Rui for the umpteenth time. He had an open book in his hand, but he hadn't turned a page and looked absent-minded.
Situ Rui was also under a lot of pressure. He could see that his boss would become extremely irritable when he left Shen Zhao, so he made up an excuse, "Miss Shen is in her third year of high school, which is the most important turning point in her life. It is normal for her to come back late."
He said so, but Mu Yanchen obviously did not accept it.
His eyebrows were furrowed, his eyelids were closed and opened from time to time, and his whole body was leaning towards the window, paying attention to the movement outside the window. He closed the book, he couldn't read it, "Why hasn't she come back yet?"
The wind was blowing outside, the dead branches were swaying in the wind, and the moonlight was waving on the green tiles, which made people shudder.
A servant was running back on the path of the manor. She shouted in the direction of the villa, "The young lady is back! The young lady is back!"
Mu Yanchen, who was sitting on the second floor, naturally heard it. He looked out the window expectantly, and saw a low-key sedan slowly driving into the manor. He steered his wheelchair to go to the first floor to greet it, while Situ Rui, who was following behind him, felt that something in his world view had shattered.
When Shen Zhao got off the car, she saw the servants coming to greet her with anticipation. When did she become so popular?
Although she was puzzled, she was still happy to accept kindness from others. After a while, the servants moved to both sides and stood in two neat rows. Shen Zhao looked up and saw the man in the wheelchair appear at the door. There was an emotion in his eyes that Shen Zhao could not understand, which frightened her.
