In the past few days, Xia Qiao often asked He Tianran to meet, and as the contact deepened, the more sure she became that He Tianran also liked her.

Otherwise, a senior in high school is usually so busy with studying, if it weren't for his liking, how could he have time to spend time with him at any time?

Even if every time he came, he would ask himself if he was plagued by rumors again.

Xia Qiao felt that she was much smarter than the children who herded sheep, it was true that the wolf came, but the wolf was also her.

The rumors at school intensified, and even some pickled things about her junior high school were picked up, but she didn't care, because He Tianran would say that he believed her every time.

And every time she believes this, she will like He Tianran more.

It's like a child who has never eaten candy, and is willing to eat every piece of candy.

"Qiaoqiao, I think...... You should stay away from those friends of yours......"

Once, He Tianran hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't help but mention it.

At that time, Xia Qiao was thinking about how to naturally take He Tianran's arm, and after hearing this, she was slightly stunned and asked:

"Friends? Which one are you talking about, Brother Nature? ”

He Tianran was embarrassed, "That's it...... Alas...... See for yourself. ”

He handed over his phone.

After Xia Qiao took it, her pupils suddenly widened.

On the chat interface, it was a message quietly sent by his friends to He Tianran, counting his various private behaviors, and sending all kinds of hints to the boy, but the boy's replies were very polite, and he was always suspicious of the content he sent.

"Brother Nature, when did she add you?"

Xia Qiao forcibly suppressed the anger.

He Tianran rubbed his chin and said:

"You invited me to coffee that day, and the next day she came to the class to look for me, I thought you were looking for me, but I didn't expect that she just wanted my contact information, I thought it was your friend, so I gave it to her...... That's right......"

The boy continued to talk to himself, ignoring the expression on Xia Qiao's face beside him, which had gradually become hideous.

"After she wanted to pass, a few more girls added me, and the verification message sent said that they were all your friends, but I thought someone was deliberately trying to fix you, so I didn't add it, you look through the friend message to see if I misunderstood."

Xia Qiao didn't have time to confirm, she just quickly flipped through all the chat records between He Tianran and his dead friend, the more she looked at it, the more panicked she became, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, her various crimes were revealed, she was so nervous that she stammered:

"Brother Nature, I'...... She...... It's not ......"

"I know ......"

He Tianran smiled as kindly as usual, and he said with relief:

"I trust you, Qiaoqiao. Although we have not known each other for a long time, I always feel that you are not what they say, because the way you look in front of me is completely different from what they say. ”

His rhetorical question dispelled Xia Qiao's doubts, and at the same time moved the hanging eye girl beyond measure.

Yes, as long as Brother Natural believes in me, it's enough!

Those sluts must be jealous of me!

"Brother Nature, if you don't tell me, I may still be in the dark now, I have always regarded them as good friends, I didn't expect that she would slander me so much in private! Those rumors about me must have come from her too! What's in it for them! ”

As she spoke, Xia Qiao was really aggrieved and shed a few tears, she was not pretending, but really substituting herself as a victim.

This kind of mentality is very complicated, He Tianran's simple words "I believe in you" are even a hundred times more powerful than those gossips, so much so that Xia Qiao really has the psychology of "I am so innocent".

Tears streaked across her makeup, leaving two obvious marks, and Xia Qiao suddenly felt a soft thing gently wipe her eyelashes.

It was He Tianran's handkerchief, and the boy was wiping his tears from his eyes, his movements were gentle, and his eyes were full of worry.

"Don't cry, after all, you're friends, and it's not good to make a fuss, why don't I go and help you? Tell her to stop doing it. ”

Xia Qiao subconsciously grabbed He Tianran's hand, and at this time she seemed to grasp her destiny, the best existence for herself in this world.

"Brother Nature, no need, I'll solve this matter myself......"

She didn't want He Tianran to meet her so-called "friends", for fear that the matter would be exposed, but at the moment, Xia Qiao was more afraid of letting the boy in front of her get in touch with her past self, the real self.

He Tianran was silent for a moment, then nodded with an "um", he also held the other party's palm and put the handkerchief in her hand.

"Don't cry, I'll give it to you." He looked away.

"Natural Brother ......"

Xia Qiao's eyes flashed with fanaticism and happiness.

……

……

Xia Qiao angrily grabbed the whistleblower by the hair and dragged it to the toilet, she had long seen that the whistleblower was not pleasing to the eye, and said that cutting Cao Aiqing's hair was her idea, but in the end it was herself.

That's it, the ups and downs on campus now have always been her Xia Qiao alone, and this group of teammates who are dragging their feet still have time to backstab themselves!

She stepped on the informant's face one by one, and the other party was trampled on and his nose was swollen, but she was still not relieved, turned around, and instructed a few trembling girls:

"Don't look at it, let's go together! Don't think that I don't know what you've done behind my back, if you don't cut the table with this one today, and distinguish your position, the next one will be you! ”

With that, she turned around and walked out of the toilet, and several passing classmates saw her and walked away quickly.

Xia Qiao squinted at their actions and didn't care, she took out the handkerchief given by He Tianran and put it on her nose and took a deep breath, she liked this fragrance very much, if it was accompanied by a scream later, she would be more satisfied.

"Brother Nature, they hurt me for everything, I'll clean up those who hurt me now, you won't blame me, right?"

Xia Qiao muttered to herself, she felt that she was really a good person now, as long as she could cover up the truth, she was completely different from her previous self.

It's just that in the toilet, there is no more movement.

This disappointed her, she frowned, carefully put the handkerchief in her bag, and then went back into the toilet with a gloomy expression.

The injured ○ was actually helped up by the previous girls, and Xia Qiao was greeted with a look that was several times colder than her.

……

……

After school, the winter days are especially cold.

The school's gossip group was blown up, and this afternoon, a big melon was exploded.

A girl named Xia Qiao in the first year of high school, all the evil things she instigated in the past were exposed, and there are screenshots of her personal admission and boasting as evidence.

What she did was simply too many to write, and it made people feel cold.

This incident even alarmed the school leaders, but when the dean and the teacher went to look for Xia Qiao to confirm, they did not find her in the class.

At this time, Xia Qiao's hair was messy, his face was covered with dust, and he had a deranged smile on his face.

Hey, those girls, they ran away in the middle of the fight, and they were really vulnerable.

She remembered that at noon, Brother Natural said that he had something to do with her in the evening.

Will it be confessed?

Will it be too fast?

Xia Qiao thought excitedly.

No, no, Brother Natural is not the kind of acute child, this time you have to take your time.

He must be worried about himself, after all, at noon, he said that he would deal with this matter alone, during which the mobile phone was also broken by the goods, and he couldn't make a call, so he had to hurry over, and he couldn't be worried.

Xia Qiao was a little worried about her makeup, but time waits for no one, she can't control so much, and her own appearance, He Tianran will definitely feel sorry for her when she sees it.

The Hanging Eyes Girl thought.

It's just that when she saw the few people who were beaten away by herself crying and complaining around He Tianran, Xia Qiao's blood surged again, and she couldn't wait to go up and tear those girls alive now.

He Tianran also noticed him, and when his eyes looked at her, there was no expression on his face.

This familiar sense of alienation does not seem to have decreased by half a point with the gradual deepening of the understanding between the two.

Xia Qiao walked forward with heavy steps, her throat was dry and hoarse, like a broken gong, but she still said with hope:

"Natural Brother...... I...... I'm innocent...... You still believe me...... Right? ”

He Tianran finally smiled, and several girls around him were so frightened that they retreated behind He Tianran when they saw Xia Qiao's appearance.

"What are you doing? Come out! Brother Natural is mine! ”

Seeing this, Xia Qiao suddenly seemed to be crazy, she rushed two steps, but was stopped in front of her by He Tianran.

"Qiaoqiao, don't be like this!"

He Tianran seemed to have returned to the familiar appearance that believed in him, Xia Qiaoxi couldn't help but point to the group of girls behind him and said:

"Brother Nature, they just beat me! I want to snatch the handkerchief you gave me, I don't want them to take it away, you see......"

Xia Qiao took out the handkerchief that had become dirty, and was about to ask for credit, when he heard He Tianran suddenly say solemnly:

What did they say...... Is it all true? ”

"What...... What? ”

Xia Qiao squeezed out a smile stiffly.

"Did you hit her?"

He Tianran glanced at the girl who was beaten by Xia Qiao and had a blue nose and swollen face, and asked.

She ...... She...... She framed me first, Brother Nature! She's a liar! ”

"So, you're the one who hit her, right?"

"I ...... I ......"

"They told me a lot of your secrets, Qiaoqiao, are you going to confront them? If what they say is false, I will definitely help you, I told you, I only believe what I see. ”

He Tianran spoke unhurriedly, just like Xia Qiao's expression when he first saw him defend himself.

But this time, as several girls walked out of He Tianran's side, Xia Qiao took a few steps back.

"What, Xia Qiao, you don't even have the courage to confront each other?"

"Don't you usually like people to publicize your deeds? Dumb this time? ”

"yes, what kind of good guy are you pretending to be now? It was you who stood in your current position and forced Cao Aiqing to cut her hair! Do you remember? ”

A series of questions from her former companions made Xia Qiao unavoidable, and she pinned her only hope on He Tianran, looking forward to hearing those four words again.

But the boy who had always been kind, he looked at himself, but at the moment he turned a strange string of rosaries in his hand.

From his mouth, she heard a sentence full of disappointment—

"How can I trust you when you're like this?"

He Tianran paced past Xia Qiao, who was lost in her soul, she clenched her handkerchief tightly and said uncontrollably:

"Brother Nature, you believe me again, you also gave me something, I really cherish it...... I...... I'm going to wash it now......"

He ran through the arch of the English Corner, leaving behind a shadow and a straw that could crush a camel—

"Forget it, it's too dirty to wash."

……

……

After the English corner, He Tianran didn't want to know.

The bodhi seed in his hand rotated, and finally he calmly hung it around his neck.

Sure enough, he liked it more than a handkerchief.

Xue Yong came out of the middle of the road, with a somewhat inexplicable expression on his face, but after a while, he still said in a joking tone:

"It's okay, Brother Nature, it turns out that you are a wicked person!"

He Tianran also smiled: "Is it cool?" ”

"Cool! If it were me, it is estimated that it will not be a year and a half, and I can't think of this way to feed the tiger with my body. ”

The cold expression on He Tianran's face only returned to normal at this time, Xue Yong was the only one who knew all his plans, such as Ye Jiaqi, Bai Tingting and others, and they only knew that he wanted to make rumors with rumors, so they only helped spread the news of Xia Qiao's evil deeds, and did not participate in this step.

The so-called, belly black bullies, with evil to fight evil.

"I didn't expect it to be so smooth to provoke the relationship between Xia Qiao's group of people, and the luck component is still very large."

He Tianran concluded.

Xue Yong was puzzled: "Why didn't you just find out the truth in the end?" Maybe it's even more enjoyable! ”

The black-bellied boy shook his head, "Suspense movies always like to have a hook at the end, hang people's appetites, and don't tell you the answer closest to the truth directly, do you know why?" ”

"Why?"

"Because the most desperate things are often hidden in hope."

Xue Yong grabbed his head: "I don't understand, you talk about people." ”

"Xia Qiao likes me."

"Yes, I can see it, nymphomaniac."

"Do you think it's sadder to be disgusted by someone you like, or is it sadder to be disgusted by someone who pretends to like you?"

These words were tongue-twisting, but Xue Yong understood.

He gasped: "You...... When others harm others, you cut their hair, and if you hurt others, you leave a scar on other people's hearts! ”

He Tianran chuckled: "What a broken metaphor." ”

“……”

Xue Yong stopped, he shuddered.

He Tianran's approach was indeed very relieving, but it also made Xue Yong feel a deep chill.

He could feel that the distance between He Tianran and evil was so close, even just one step away......

If that prank really came true......

So how will He Tianran take revenge on their group of people now?

Xue Yong thought about it carefully, he couldn't control this brain hole a little, until He Tianran turned his head in front of him and said aloud to him:

"Let's go, let's eat, I'm so hungry."

The frightened school bully shook his head and finally threw the thought out of his mind.

He ran up, jumped up and hooked He Tianran's neck, and the two giggled and walked away.

Luckily, that prank didn't come true.

They're good buddies now.

……

The next day, Xia Qiao was ordered to drop out of school on the grounds of slandering others and bullying classmates.
