She couldn’t wrap her head around this situation at the moment.
It was incredibly rare for a girl like Qi Xiaoran to cry.
But to be able to reduce her to tears, it must be an incredibly miserable matter.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t have a hobby of poking at people’s wounds, so she kept her doubts to herself.
But after a short while, she heard Qi Xiaoran’s low voice as the latter was lying down. “Gu Qingjiu, has anything thrown you into utter despair before?”
“…”
That startled her. Instead of answering, she asked instead, “What’s the matter?”
After a moment of silence, Qi Xiaoran said, “Can you answer my question?”
Numerous flashbacks blinked across Gu Qingjiu’s mind. Her lips curled up coldly. “Of course.”
So many things from the past – each of them enough to drown her in despair.
“Even you have those too?”
Qi Xiaoran mumbled under her breath as if Qingjiu’s answer was unexpected.
Gu Qingjiu looked at the upper bunk. “What happened to you?”
Since Qi Xiaoran had already asked her, she took the chance to ask as well.
“I did something… that went against my principles… I can never go back.”
Her words were doused with misery.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t know what it was about. She kept silent, thinking if she should continue to probe.
In the next moment, Gu Qian and Chu Lian returned.
Qi Xiaoran stopped speaking.
Besides the few short conversations she shared with Gu Qingjiu, Qi Xiaoran never talked to the rest.
But there was no bad will amongst them, though.
“Qingjiu, it’s really strange. Someone removed the post about you on the forum. I wonder if it was because they found the anonymous user and silenced them.”
Gu Qian excitedly talked about it.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingjiu raised an eyebrow. “Removed?”
“Yeah, I wonder who did it. That post was so entertaining. There are already people shipping you and Yin Ruoyi together. It’s such a pity that it was removed!”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
‘Great thing it got removed!’
She glared at Gu Qian. It wasn’t as if they didn’t know that she had a boyfriend. For them to gossip about this showed that they didn’t see the scale of the problem.
But posting was a student’s freedom. It was unexpected that it was removed.
It was probably because the sharpshooter felt that it ruined his image and got someone to remove it.
It was a good thing since it would prevent people from starting needless rumors, anyway.
If the Chief Instructor heard the rumors, she wouldn’t need to stay here.
“Haha, but on this topic, I wonder if your boyfriend knows about this. If he knew, he would definitely not feel good about it.”
Gu Qian showed a smile of glee at her misfortune.
Gu Qingjiu thought about the Chief Instructor immediately.
That was true. She had no idea if the Chief Instructor already heard about this. ‘Please Gods, don’t let him know about it!’
Gu Qingjiu uttered her prayers. Meanwhile, in the office, He Niancheng was restless.
He Niancheng sat at the desk, with his arms leaning on the table, rubbing at his brows as he looked at the documents in his hands.
After a while, his cell phone rang.
He peeked at it and answered immediately.
Before he even made a single sound, a voice spoke from the other end. “Young Master, the forums have been settled. All related posts have been removed as well. Is there anything else that needs to be done?”
“Just about is fine.”
He wasn’t an overbearing person, but he would definitely not allow any taunting words to appear between her girlfriend and another man.
Even if it was online.
