In the crowded hallway, students scrambled to their classes. As the class bell ended, the noisy corridor suddenly seemed spacious and calm.

Standing in the hallway, you can hear different voices coming from the whole grade level. The sound of chalk tapping, the sound of slapping the blackboard, the sound of the teacher speaking in the class, the sound of the students reading the text, etc.

The whole grade kept the same way all the time, as if nothing had happened, but if you could stand in the middle of the students who were talking secretly, you could clearly hear the bursts of gossip, the sound of which was like the sound of dough stirring, small but constantly fermenting.

The incident of malicious graffiti on campus has been known to the whole school.

They were discussing who Mei Mei was and why these things were happening, but between the words, it was obvious that some unwarranted public opinion was mixed in.

"That Mei Mei is the one in the second and third classes of high school, right?"

"That girl doesn't look like a good stubble."

"Then what is called Mei Mei, I'm afraid it's provoking someone."

"It is said that the girl was almost beaten."

"I heard that the woman's character is not good."

"It must be that you can't be a man, and you've been retaliated against."

……

Crowd public opinion continued to ferment in every classroom of the school, and then broke out after class. After class, the students gossiped about the ins and outs of the incident, "exchanged opinions" with each other, and sneered at the malicious graffiti words as the center of the chatter. Public opinion continues to ferment, like a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest.

"Shen Xiao, drink some warm water."

Luo Mu twisted Shen Xiao's bottle cap, poured the water in the cup into the lid, blew lightly, dissipated the heat coming from the calm water, and handed it to Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao was stunned, then took the bottle cap, took a sip gently, and then held the bottle cap with both hands and lowered his head.

Luo Mu frowned, his arms sunk on his thighs, his fingers crossed, and the back of his hands supported his angular face.

Luo Mu's heart seemed to be covered with a black veil, as if the light was shrouded in darkness. His mind was reminded of what he had experienced, stinging his brain and heart.

The same is true for Shen Xiao.

No one is willing to take the initiative to mention what happened, because under the chat records and video calls every day and night, these pains seem to have been washed away, and no one would have guessed that this scarred pain would hit their hearts again.

Four years ago, Luo Mu was arranged in Hongyi Junior High School, because of his handsome and chic appearance and unusual talent, he captured the hearts of a group of girls, and since then, Luo Mu has received love letters every day for a year without interruption.

But with a firm goal, he never thought of falling in love before he was underage, all he wanted to do was to work hard to achieve his goal, become a musician, become an e-sports player, and become a racing driver.

He is so good that he can't be jealous of countless boys.

Every time the boys in the same class mention Luo Mu, they are also endlessly praised, because Luo Mu is indeed a very righteous boy, he will participate in big and small things in the class, but as an honor student and talented, he is approachable, and his classmates have a very good relationship with him.

As the best student in the class, Shen Xiao will silently brush up on questions in the classroom every day, introverted and quiet, although his grades are superior, he always looks like a little transparent.

She is not the type of person who will often take the initiative to answer questions, and often only slowly stand up and say the correct answer after being named.

At that time, Shen Xiao didn't like to socialize, but whenever others really needed help, she would try to help others.

However, it is such two people with very different personalities, but they know each other and know each other because they are at the same table.

At that time, Luo Mu, who was helpful and cheerful, would always tease Shen Xiao from time to time, because he felt that this girl only knew how to do questions all day long, which was a bit too boring.

"Shen Xiao, let's play chess."

"Chess...... Where is it? ”

"Well, this is the chessboard."

Luo Mu suddenly pulled out his schoolbag from the drawer, took out a manuscript paper in the bag, tore off a thin piece of manuscript paper, picked up a ruler and drew horizontal and vertical lines, enclosing small squares, and then drew an X and O.

"Na, these are two kinds of chess pieces, let's guess the Ding shell, whoever wins will draw a circle first."

Luo Mu's clear eyes were bright and pure, like an immature child, but they also implied perseverance and refusal to admit defeat.

From the beginning, I was a little angry after I lost the guess of Ding Ke, until I lost playing backgammon on paper, and the corners of my mouth were pursed.

"Don't count, don't count, come again, I was careless just now, keep going!"

Luo Mu picked up the eraser and wiped the previous flag, and then directly drew a circle and dropped it in advance.

Shen Xiao also wrote unhurriedly, and cautiously took Luo Mu's army to form two connected backgammon, and the situation was already clear.

"Wouldn't you be, you lied to me."

Luo Mu scratched his head and looked at Shen Xiao with an inexplicable look.

"I know backgammon, but I don't know if I can play it on paper......"

Shen Xiao responded softly, and after his eyes avoided slightly, he lowered his head and continued to write his homework.

Not long after, the midterm exam was ushered in, and Shen Xiao won the first place in the class and grade with a score 20 points higher than the second place in the class, and Luo Mu also became a top student with the third place in the class and the ninth in the grade. Because of this, Luo Mu is even more sought after by girls, calling him a male god.

As Luo Mu's tablemate, Shen Xiao, with excellent grades but introverted personality, she didn't know how to communicate at that time, but she suddenly became a ubiquitous "celebrity" in public opinion. Envy, jealousy, and prejudice are like a poisonous mist that evaporates throughout the grade.

Every kind of public opinion is like a wisp of fragments in the curtain of the campus environment, it gathers, intertwines, and condenses together, and the seemingly small existence can stir the negative energy in everyone's heart. These negative energies are gradually mixed with foul language, spreading in every corner of the first grade of junior high school, evaporating and fermenting.

When Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know that it was suitable to happen, she had already become a "celebrity" in the eyes of everyone, and students of the same level would hide behind her and talk about everything about her, even if this matter was purely imaginary, but it was still known to everyone.

"Shen Xiao, it seems that someone is talking about you."

Faye Wong in the back row of Shen Xiao tapped Shen Xiao's back when everyone was about to do recess exercises.

"Hmm...... Why? Shen Xiao replied at a loss.

"I don't know, the scolding is ugly. Did you mess with someone? Feifei Wong asked cautiously.

"No, I go out to the toilet every day, and I'm in the classroom all the time...... Yes. ”

Shen Xiao suddenly stumbled down the stairs, she felt someone pushing her, but when she turned around and looked, she didn't find who it was.
