CHAPTER XXXV
The 10 minutes between classes were as long as a day, and as the class bell rang, the class teacher walked into the classroom, and the rallying rally against me came to an end. I'm thankful that the head teacher didn't dig into what had just happened, after all, it would only make me feel embarrassed and tormented again. Xingyuan's sudden death made everyone's emotions unstable, and it was normal to cry and make a fuss. I could vaguely tell from the head teacher's eyes that he was interpreting our tension in this way. Throughout the lesson, I kept recalling the scene at the time of the accident, and the more I recalled, the more the images that came to my mind deviated from the original memory. As the saying goes, memories are modified and deceiving, and people will selectively remember the fragments that are beneficial to themselves and are willing to recall, and at the same time, selectively forget the fragments that are not conducive to themselves and do not want to recall. If even memory is not reliable, what can I trust? Don't...... Did I really do anything to hurt Xingyuan? I stared at my palm, and I couldn't remember the touch of the dress Xingyuan was wearing that day. I haven't touched Xingyuan's clothes, so my body doesn't have such a memory! At this point, I was somewhat convinced that their accusations were fabricated! Before I knew it, the forty-minute math class was over, and I didn't listen to anything, but fortunately the homeroom teacher didn't want to blame me for being distracted. The ringing of the bell at the end of the class heralds the beginning of a new round of trials. I speculated to myself in trepidation that they would not give up until I had done what they wanted and confessed to their fabricated charges. Despite all your might, I will not give in anyway, and I will see who can hold out to the end!
"Why don't you dare to say anything? Wasn't it arrogant just now? ”
"I know, she must be afraid that the police will come to arrest her!"
"If the police come, tell them all the inside story and let them know that she did it on purpose!"
"Of course I would! It's better to call Xu Yinyao, he is the party! With a sinister smile on the corner of her mouth, Li Jiamin winked at the string orchestra.
"Shut up!" Fang Zheng suddenly shouted at Li Jiamin, making her dumbfounded.
Compared with the squad leader, Fang Zheng has more prestige in the class, so most of the conflicts in the class are mediated by him. But the strange thing is that he has been watching from the sidelines for too long today, and it is not at all like his style of doing things. Therefore, I cannot help but suspect that he may have thought that I deserved to endure all this pain and suffering......
"Why don't you want to think about it, there is surveillance on the road, if she really pushed Xian Xingyuan, the police would have found out a long time ago!" It turned out that at this time he came forward only to maintain the authority of the police.
"It's ...... too" "That's right......"
"But...... She and Xu Yinyao ......," Li Jiamin muttered secretly.
"You dare to slander Xu Yinyao because he is not there!" Fang Zheng glared at Li Jiamin, his eyes full of anger and disdain. "In all fairness, if it weren't for Xian Xingyuan, Xu Yinyao would never have looked at her more!"
Even though this is true and provides a strong argument for my innocence, it hurts after all. However, I would rather listen to these hurtful words than to be wronged.
"Fang Zheng is right, how can Xu Yinyao have a good impression of her, joke!" Yu Menghan hurriedly echoed.
Seeing that the charges she had imposed on me were immediately invalidated, Li Jiamin was so anxious that she said incoherently: "Can ...... You say...... Who knows what she thinks about Xu Yinyao......"
"There are many people who have thoughts about Xu Yinyao!" Xin Tian glanced at Wang Sitong and continued angrily: "But we can't conclude that she has something to do with Xingyuan's death because of this......"
"The police must know what happened best, and as for us, we can't guess without evidence!" In order to cater to Fang Zheng, Yu Menghan instantly changed his position.
Seeing her flirting with Fang Zheng, but Fang Zheng lowered his head and pondered, not noticing her intentions and flattery at all, I almost couldn't help laughing. Ridiculous, ridiculous! Why had I never noticed that these people I had called friends were so ridiculous?
The classmates in the class exchanged their heads and waited curiously for Fang Zheng to state the final conclusion, but disappointingly, Fang Zheng remained silent for the rest of the recess.
Thanks to Fang Zheng's troubles, things unexpectedly took a slight turn. Even though my thoughts were still in flux, I hurried down a few words of notes before the end of the class, so as not to get nothing like in the previous class.
The second class was 20 minutes long, and I couldn't help but feel intimidated. Originally, they had already started a new topic, but Li Jiamin couldn't wait to bring up the old things again. Also, what can she talk to them about other than this? I understand her desire to seize this opportunity to join the string orchestra, but I can't forgive her for hurting others at the cost of hurting others, and the thing I can't forgive her the most is that the person who was hurt is exactly me!
"Will you just let her go?" Li Jiamin glanced at me with mean eyes. "After all, she took Xingyuan down that road."
"She was indeed responsible, but it was an accident after all, and no one could have foreseen it...... I don't think she meant to harm Xingyuan......" Xin Tian finally said a fair word.
"But ......"
"Don't get entangled, we just don't talk to her in the future......" Yu Menghan patted Li Jiamin's shoulder, and her tone was very kind.
"You just forgive her, she is sad enough for Xingyuan's affairs......" Mei Fangxun walked to Yu Menghan's side again and joined them in the conversation.
Seeing Mei Fangxun ignore the persuasion of her friends and insist on defending and interceding for me, a trace of warmth suddenly sprouted in my heart. She and Xingyuan have always been very good, so I think it has something to do with the fact that both of them are kind and enthusiastic people...... I appreciate Mei Fangxun's kindness, but I have to be quiet: no matter what, it's not their turn to forgive me!
It only took a second to be majestic, and what happened next completely destroyed what little dignity I had left.
"There is another situation......" Fang Zheng frowned and stared at me and said coldly.
Everyone in the string orchestra looked at him in bewilderment.
"If she just dies and doesn't save her, then from a legal point of view, she doesn't need to be held responsible, so naturally the police won't come to her door."
"See death or not save? What do you mean? Many people scratched their heads and looked at each other.
"You mean...... She had a chance to save Xingyuan, but she watched her ...... "From the expressions of the classmates, it can be seen that there are many people who have understood the deep meaning of Fang Zheng's words, and only Yu Menghan is the only one who says the matter. It seems that in order to show herself in front of Fang Zheng, she really doesn't care about anything.
"No......" Xin Tian covered his mouth and looked at me in surprise.
Under the gaze of everyone, I felt a chill down my spine, and cold sweat was oozing all over my body. I'm not white, why ...... Why do they seem determined to charge me? What do you know? At that time, Xingyuan was still some distance away from me, and it was not something I could reach with my hand! At that time, if there was even a glimmer of hope, I would go and save her! You don't know anything!
"How do you define death or not save?" At this time, Shen Yunhao stood up and asked Fang Zheng in a calm voice.
Fang Zheng replied in the same calm voice: "I can't save but I can't save it, or I don't know if I can save it but I don't have the idea of helping, for example, the distance between them is short enough for her to pull Xian Xingyuan, and for example, Xian Xingyuan reached out to her for help but didn't respond, this is a possibility I can think of for the time being, please add." ”
"It can be seen that you can't be sure what kind of situation it belongs to, and you can only draw conclusions if you look at the surveillance."
"Yes, no one has the right to convict her until the evidence is conclusive, but I have the right to keep my suspicions kept."
"Taking a step back, she has no obligation to help, so it is not a sin to see death and not save her."
"Even though she is not subject to legal punishment, she cannot escape moral condemnation." Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, looking very righteous and awe-inspiring.
"You have not taken this matter fairly, and your injustice will surely affect everyone's judgment of this matter!"
"It's you who overestimate my influence and underestimate the ability of others to think for themselves."
"I hope you won't regret what you said today." After speaking, Shen Yunhao shook his head and sat down again with a disappointed expression.
I'm glad that Shen Yunhao and Fang Zheng are not in the same small group, otherwise, his decision to fight for me is very likely to lead to the consequences of being ostracized and isolated like me. As it turned out, the future was as bad as I could easily have predicted, and perhaps worse......
