The place I agreed with Cao Aiqing was in a café outside the school.

Originally, He Tianran thought that he had a little time ahead of schedule and needed to wait for a while when he arrived at the place, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the door of the store, he looked up and saw that Cao Aiqing had already arrived at the edge of the open-air balcony on the second floor.

Entering the store, He Tianran hurriedly ordered a drink at the counter, took the number plate and went up to the second floor.

This café is not big, duplex structure, very stylishly arranged, some of the interior decoration refers to the design of Western-style foreign restaurants, the creeper outside the door extends up to the balcony along the masonry wall, and on the three edges of the balcony, there are many plants and flowers, which look purple and red, and have a natural beauty.

At this time, there were already a few student customers sitting on the balcony, and when He Tianran came over, he seemed to hear the name of Cao Aiqing mentioned in the conversation of several of the girls, and it seemed that they should also be classmates of Hong Kong University.

And not far from them, only Cao Aiqing sat there alone, which made He Tianran a little surprised, he thought that he would meet Shen Qiuxu alone, or two people together, after all, now Cao Aiqing's public opinion in the school is booming, and it is better to have someone to accompany her than a person, and I think this is one of the reasons why she made an appointment outside the school.

He Tianran slowly sat down opposite Cao Aiqing, put the number plate in his hand on the table and asked:

"Senior Shen hasn't come yet?"

Cao Aiqing supported her chin with one hand, tilted her head, and stared at a yellow carnation on the balcony to take a closer look, even if He Tianren arrived and asked her, the girl still did not turn her head, but replied coldly:

"Nope."

“…… Did he not arrive, or did you not call? ”

Hearing He Tianran's question again, Cao Aiqing turned his head and looked at him squarely.

"He Tianran, if you have anything to ask me directly, I don't need you to help me after I see Shen Qiuxu."

“……”

It seems that Cao Aiqing didn't inform Shen Qiuxu of today's meeting at all.

The atmosphere between the two was a little stagnant.

"You...... Afraid that I will test him like Guo Huai? Don't you want to know how Shen Qiuxu thinks about this behind his back? ”

He Tianran paused for a moment and said bluntly.

These two people are really too similar, and He Tianran knows too well why Cao Aiqing is now facing a repeat of the incident. is still calm and calm, and he doesn't sit still.

"Ai Qing, I know that you have experienced something like this once, and the second time you will be a little less cramped, but the tenacity of your heart is only part of the reason, in fact, what you want to do more is to take a good look at the faces of these people around you through this cyberbullying incident, you know that I can't be the mastermind of this incident, but you still pushed Guo Huai to the library, just to let me be greedy and tempt him again, otherwise you wouldn't have asked me what his expression was at that time, right?"

The temptation of human nature, this is the usual trick of the two of them, and they know each other.

He Tianran's provocation did not make Cao Aiqing feel a trace of panic, and the girl asked rhetorically:

"After you asked Guo Huai to stay that day, you beat him?"

"What did he tell you?"

"A friend in the student council told me that he was going to a meeting with the members of their student council the next day with a panda eye."

Cao Aiqing said it lightly, picked up the ice American style on the table, took a sip, and said:

"You shouldn't have hit him."

"Why?"

"Because this is easy for me to have an illusion, that is, I feel that you hit him for the sake of me, I don't want to have such thoughts He Tianran, including you want to see Shen Qiuxu now."

At this time, the waiter brought a cup of iced cocoa, put it down and took the number plate on the table.

He Tianran has always liked to drink cocoa, which has never changed, but the girl opposite who used to like sweets has now drunk bitter coffee.

"It seems that you don't want to test this senior's humanity anymore."

He Tianran smiled.

Cao Aiqing stroked his sideburns and hair, "I remember you said that people's hearts are biased, and I agree with this sentence." ”

He Tianran pondered for a moment, and said naturally: "So this senior is your current preference?" ”

The girl looked away slightly, playing with taste: "He Tianran, I'm quite curious about what kind of mentality you asked this sentence out of now." ”

"What mentality?" He Tianran raised his head and thought about it, and then pondered: "I can't talk about blessings or anything, but seeing you live your life well, the relief in my heart accounts for a large part." ”

Cao Aiqing's fingers on the table tapped twice, and replied: "So now I prefer myself, but Shen Qiuxu is an outsider, and I don't want him to have anything to do with this matter." ”

He Tianran didn't ask any more questions, and nodded: "Okay, since you believe him, then I won't care about it anymore." But now that we've met, I can tell you in person about some of the clues I've found lately. ”

Cao Aiqing was stunned: "You have made substantial progress?" ”

"Maybe, but before I can do that, I need to figure out a few more things......"

"Let's talk about it, if you're an outsider this time, as you said, then I'd like to know what you've found out in the past two or three days."

Cao Aiqing leaned forward and put on a posture of listening, you must know that the shadow caused by this incident to her was too great, although she finally knew that the real culprit behind the scenes was He Tianran, but that was many years later.

He Tianran also straightened his posture and said slowly: "First of all, please allow me to retract my previous sentence, although I have always emphasized that the occurrence of this incident is different from the fact that I framed you in another timeline, but I gradually found that in fact, there may be some common purpose between the two, and this is the key to its occurrence." ”

Cao Aiqing was puzzled: "What is the common purpose?" ”

"I don't have evidence yet, so let me ask you another question, do you remember what the forum said about you?"

"Of course I remember, I said that when I was in high school, I pretended to be a virgin in front of people, and I was ...... behind" Speaking of this, Cao Aiqing was stunned, maybe it touched her own wounds, which made her a little uncomfortable, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said calmly: "It's really green tea, and those boys who were rejected by me at the beginning, although the whistleblower didn't reveal their real names, but just by describing them, I can really come up with a few." ”

"That's right."

"What?"

He Tianran said calmly: "Rumors don't need to be too true, five points true and five points false, too outrageous for others to believe at all, but if it is too true, then the more you ask, the easier it will be to goof, I posted an anonymous fishing post on the forum that day, you can take a look." ”

After that, He Tianran took out his mobile phone, opened the app of the HKU Forum and handed it to Cao Aiqing.

This post sank quickly, and there were only eleven or twelve replies, but in fact, the post asked a very interesting question, and its title was-

"I don't believe that Cao has hung so many men, because she has never hung me!!"

Anonymous landlord: It is said that Cao Aiqing of the Department of Architecture is tea, but I am also from the Department of Architecture, and I can meet every day in class, and today I also praised her for her good voice on the radio, but I don't know that I have listened to her radio since my freshman year, and I have been secretly in love with her for three years, and her "Voice of the Campus" is even more scheduled, why didn't she come to hang me!! She is so cold, how can she hang a man since high school! (angry) (angry) (crying)

The first floor replied: Simple, is the landlord He Tianran? It's not just early to climb~

The second floor replied: Recently, there have been more people in the water area, and some people believe such stupid rumors (laughs)

The third floor replied: Do you dare to show your student number, let me see if you are our architecture department, I suspect you may be my dead roommate (dog head)

The fourth floor replied: After all, Cao Aiqing's conditions are there, and not everyone can enter her fish pond, I heard that the people who are hanging by her have a good family background.

- The landlord replied: My family background is also good! But she didn't even look at me squarely, was I too low-key? (Crying)

- The fourth floor replied: Is there someone else who has a good family background? (squint)

- The landlord replied: This is not ...... But if it's just He Tianran's words, it doesn't mean anything, this kind of honest rich second generation will like it if it's a woman, right?! And Cao Aiqing University seems to have such a scandal object? Saying that she is the queen of the sea and how many men she has hanged is indeed a bit unconvincing, I don't believe it!

- The fourth floor replied: Silly, because I can't find anything better than He Tianran, didn't that revelation post also explode a few other rich second generations? It's all from high school.

- The landlord replied: It's deleted, I can't see wow, and where are there so many rich second generations?

- The fourth floor replied: As it was said in the post, there was a son of the aquatic king of Hong Kong City in their high school class who confessed to Cao Aiqing.

——The landlord replied: There are more aquatic kings in Hong Kong City, who knows which one is said, and how can it be so coincidental, the rich second generation is all around Cao.

- Fourth floor replied: Could it be such a coincidence? I don't believe it~

The fifth floor replied: Upstairs is simply talking nonsense, and there is no mention of the second generation of the aquatic king Fu in the breaking news post, and he really came as soon as he opened his mouth.

That post ended here, the user on the fourth floor did not speak again, and after Cao Aiqing took in the content, when he raised his eyes to look at He Tianran again, his expression became a little different......

"What does this aquatic king mean ......"

He Tianran stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "Who else can it be, in the same class, he is still a rich second generation, and he has the intention of making water at home, and there is no one else except Brother Xiaoyong......

Brother Xiao Yong, Xue Yong.

When He Tianran's fishing sticker fished out such a message, he was also puzzled......

"What's the matter, Brother Xiao Yong has confessed to you on this timeline? He didn't like Wen ...... at the beginning."

He Tianran's words stopped suddenly, because he realized that in this world, the warmth and coolness had completely disappeared, and the two school flowers in the second class of the third year were the only ones left, Cao Aiqing......

Cao Aiqing recalled: "Yes, and I remember it vividly, because when he confessed to three different girls in one day, I was one of them, the other two were Ye Jiaqi, and the other was from another class. ”

At first glance, I heard the flower work of Xue Yong, an old friend, He Tianran was happy for so many days, and he said:

"This little brother Yong is very flowery, what about Bai Tingting?"

Cao Aiqing lowered his head, put He Tianran's mobile phone, and replied:

"Tingting also liked him, but on this timeline, it was you and Guo Huai and I who formed a four-person study group with Tingting, Tingting had little contact with him, and in the face of Xue Yong's cynicism, she quickly put Xue Yong down, as for what happened to Xue Yong later, I don't know very well, it's just that in the college entrance examination that year, without Tingting's help, he failed the college entrance examination......"

"I dropped it twice, and I didn't get into college until this year."

He Tianran added.

Cao Aiqing was a little surprised: "You still have contact with him?" ”

"Yes...... Jiang Xixi. He Tianran tapped his temples: "I have a memory, Xue Yong stayed in the grade for two years, and finally studied a class with Jiang Xixi, and the little girl told me about it." ”

Cao Aiqing was slightly silent, and she said again: "Then what now?" ”

He Tianran stretched out his hand: "Can you return the phone to me?" ”

"Wait a minute."

“……”

Cao Aiqing continued to flip through his mobile phone and opened all the historical posting records of He Tianran on the forum, only to see that it showed -

"Cao Aiqing can't be green tea, I prove it! I'll give proof!"

"Why do you want to frame my goddess, I'm so sad......

"Why didn't He Tianran come forward to testify for Mr. Cao? Is there really something hidden in it?"

"Cao Aiqing can't really be a green tea, right?"

"I don't like Cao Aiqing anymore, I didn't expect her to be such a person! Angry!"

……

This fishing sticker looks like a process in which Cao Aiqing's admirer gradually transforms into black powder......

Cao Aiqing had a subtle expression on her face, holding her mobile phone and asking, "Are you helping me, or are you hacking me?" ”

He Tianran wiped his nose, picked up the cocoa on the table, pretended to take a sip, and explained: "Fishing stickers, you have to cast a wide net to catch the fish." ”

The girl gave her the phone back, and the man went on to explain:

"I asked Guo Huai to help me check the student number and IP on the fourth floor, you also know, the registration of our school forum requires a student number, one person, one code, and also needs certification, but this fourth-floor IP shows that it is foreign, and the student number cannot be checked, this is obviously a forum that came in through the back door, which shows that in fact, someone is deliberately hacking you, but there are not many of them, and the intensity has been maintained at a level that can maintain the topic discussion."

"Just like you did."

Cao Aiqing sneered.

He Tianran didn't respond to the other party's taunt, he made a phone call and put the phone to his ear.

"Hey~ Brother He! You were rejected by Sister Cao today, so you called? ”

In the earpiece, Jiang Xixi's surprised voice came, but this opening remark made He Tianran laugh dumbly.

"No, no, I'll ask you about something, Xue Yong in your class, do you know which university he was admitted to?"

The other party paused, "Huh? Belch...... You know, it's like the University of Nottingham, it's in the university town. ”

"Ah...... Thank you, I'm looking for him for something. ”

He Tianran thought for a while, the University of Nottingham? Isn't this the school Xie Yanyan attended?

Hanging up the phone, the man chuckled in a low voice: "Hey, isn't this a coincidence......"

"What did you say?"

Cao Aiqing on the other side didn't hear the words in his mouth clearly, He Tianran stood up and said to her:

"Xue Yong, this kid, I didn't get into the police academy, but I was admitted to the foreigner school next door to us, I'm going to see him now, ...... you"

"I'll go with you."

"Huh?"

Without waiting for He Tianran to finish speaking, Cao Aiqing had already taken the initiative to stand up, gathered the hair that was originally scattered on his shoulders after sitting down to the back of his head, straightened his hands with each other twice, pulled down the head rope on his wrist and wrapped it into his hair, and tied out a neat ponytail.

After she walked forward for a while, she found that He Tianran was stunned in place, she tilted her head and said:

"Let's go, it's my business, of course I'm going to get involved."
