“I’m telling you the truth, there’s no shortcut to studying. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.”

Tian Xue didn’t say anything more, and handed the milk green tea to Zhou Yining.

The two of them left the milk tea shop, and the atmosphere was a little awkward, but Zhou Yining didn’t think much of it.

What she said was indeed the truth.

When she was preparing for the gaokao in her previous life, she put in a lot of effort, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to get into Jing University.

She didn’t want Tian Xue to have any illusions.

The path of studying could only be walked by oneself, and no one could help.

Soon, Zhou Yining entered the classroom. As soon as she sat down, Xu Yueming came over.

“I heard you scolded Zhang Ye at noon?”

“Is that any of your business? Instead of wasting time on that, you should do more problems.” After Zhou Yining finished speaking, she ignored Xu Yueming.

She took out her math textbook and workbook. Although the knowledge from high school wasn’t difficult for her, practice made perfect, and Zhou Yining still needed time to adapt.

Xu Yueming got a rebuff from Zhou Yining, and he couldn’t lose his temper.

The current Zhou Yining scolded even Zhang Ye, and if he went up to her, he would just be offering himself up for a beating.

Soon, the first math class started.

The weather in June was already hot, and it was the first class of the afternoon, so the students sitting below were drowsy.

The teacher’s voice explaining the problems became the best sleep aid.

Teacher Zhang’s chalk began to precisely sweep over everyone who was dozing off in class.

His eyes landed on Zhou Yining, and he saw the girl sitting up straight, with scratch paper placed on her desk, as if she was verifying something.

“Everyone, pay attention, the last question in this problem is beyond the syllabus and falls into the scope of competition problems, but I’ll still explain it to you, and everyone should try to understand it.”

Saying that, Teacher Zhang continued to write on the blackboard.

For an entire class, the entire Class 19 was lifeless.

Finally, they managed to get through the class, and a group of students collapsed on their desks, all of them catching up on sleep.

Zhou Yining also breathed a sigh of relief.

She wanted to go to the bathroom, but thinking about the diary, she was a little worried.

This thing had been taken away once, and it was very likely to be taken away a second time.

She sandwiched the diary between several workbooks, so that nothing could be seen from the outside.

After doing all of this, Zhou Yining got up and walked to the bathroom.

Along the way, people were pointing and gossiping about Zhou Yining.

The love letters on the confession wall were still hanging on the internet, and the matter was still fermenting.

Zhou Yining came out of the bathroom, and she was still thinking about this matter while washing her hands.

If she wanted to punish the person who posted the original Zhou Yining’s love letters online, then she had to obtain evidence.

Moreover, at this time in the second year of high school, everyone was basically still a minor, so if she called the police, the most that would happen would be a reprimand and education, and there wouldn’t be a big punishment for the other party.

Zhou Yining thought for a moment and already had a plan in mind, but she didn’t have any money on her now, so she couldn’t do anything.

As Zhou Yining walked back, she thought of Jiang Xizhi.

She had no money and no connections, and if she wanted to find the person, she could only make a big fuss and take it to the media, but if she did that, she would be breaking ties with the school.

This was the worst plan, and Zhou Yining didn’t want to do that yet.

Since Jiang Xizhi said she could help with this matter, then she might as well go find Jiang Xizhi later.

The second class was history class. Zhou Yining read the textbook and found it very simple.

In her previous life, she had chosen the liberal arts stream in high school, and she had taken history, geography, and politics for the gaokao.

Coincidentally, the original owner had chosen the same courses as her.

Zhou Yining’s liberal arts scores were very good in her previous life, basically full marks or close to full marks.

She looked at the textbooks and exercises here and found that they were still not difficult for her, so Zhou Yining was relieved.

Zhou Yining quickly did the exercises in the workbook.

The teacher was talking about the problem-solving ideas for the big questions on the stage, but these had long been engraved in Zhou Yining’s bones and didn’t need to be learned again.

After finally getting through the class, Zhou Yining took out her pink notebook. She thought about it and still asked Xu Yueming, “Do you know what class Jiang Xizhi is in?”

Xu Yueming looked at Zhou Yining with a shocked expression, “No way, are you crazy? It would be good if Jiang Xizhi didn’t cause you any trouble, and you still dare to go find Jiang Xizhi?”

“Stop talking nonsense, what class is she in?” Zhou Yining swept a cold glance at Xu Yueming and asked.

Being glanced at by Zhou Yining, Xu Yueming shrunk his neck before speaking, “Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?”

Zhou Yining gave him a death stare, and Xu Yueming quickly said,

“She likes Zhang Ye, and her family used connections to get her into Class 1. There’s no one in the whole grade who doesn’t know that. You’re really something, not even knowing which class your love rival is in.”

“Why are you talking so much nonsense?” After Zhou Yining finished speaking, she took the notebook and went straight out of the class.

Their Class 19 was on the fourth floor, while Class 1 was on the third floor.

Zhou Yining went downstairs and walked along the corridor, finally finding the classroom of Class 1.

When she walked towards Class 1, she attracted the attention of many people, and many people were pointing and gossiping about Zhou Yining.

“Isn’t that Zhou Yining? Is she going to apologize to Brother Ye?”

“Tsk, she was shamelessly saying at noon that she didn’t like Brother Ye anymore, how come she’s come crawling back now?”

“If you ask me, she’s just cheap. Why doesn’t she take a good look at herself in the mirror? Someone like her, would Brother Ye like her?”

“Just wait and see, there’s going to be a good show.”

Soon, more and more people gathered in the corridor.

Those people pretended to be very busy, either talking to the people around them, or walking back and forth in the corridor.

Zhou Yining just found these people funny.

Instead of wasting time on that, they should do some problems.

She didn’t know what these people were thinking.

Before long, she arrived at the door of Class 1.

Just as someone in the class came out, Zhou Yining said, “Hello, can you help me call Jiang Xizhi? I need to talk to her about something.”

The boy recognized Zhou Yining, “You, aren’t you Zhou Yining?”

Zhou Yining nodded frankly, “Yes, I am. Can you help me call Jiang Xizhi? Thank you.”

The boy nodded, and he leaned against the door frame and peered into the class twice before calling out, “Jiang Xizhi, someone’s looking for you.”

Jiang Xizhi in the class was also stunned. She was talking to two little followers.

There were many people in the school who wanted to curry favor with her, but Jiang Xizhi wasn’t stupid.

She didn’t pay too much attention to those people. Shi Yuanyuan and Si Yaqing, two friends, had always been by her side, and it was rare for anyone to come looking for her.

However, Jiang Xizhi still got up and walked outside.

Her two followers also followed closely behind Jiang Xizhi.

When Jiang Xizhi walked out of the classroom door, she saw clearly that the person who had come to find her was actually Zhou Yining.

“You’re the one looking for me?” Jiang Xizhi asked uncertainly.

Zhou Yining nodded.

Her eyes landed on Jiang Xizhi.

The girl’s black hair was loosely tied into a bun behind her head, making her skin look even fairer.

Jiang Xizhi’s pair of beautiful fox eyes were looking at her at this moment.

Zhou Yining smiled at her, “I have something I want to talk to you about in private. Didn’t you say before that I could come find you?”

Jiang Xizhi nodded, “Alright, let’s go somewhere else to talk.”

“Okay.” Zhou Yining responded and walked out of the corridor. Jiang Xizhi followed behind her, and Jiang Xizhi’s two followers were also following behind her.

Zhou Yining looked back, and stopped walking.

“What’s wrong? Are you afraid I’ll eat you? You have to have people accompany you?”

Zhou Yining looked at Jiang Xizhi with a smile that wasn’t a smile, and also looked at Jiang Xizhi’s two followers behind her meaningfully.

As expected, Jiang Xizhi exploded immediately and retorted, “Who would be afraid of you.”

Saying that, she turned around and said to Shi Yuanyuan and Si Yaqing, “You two go back first, you don’t need to follow me.”

“Zhizhi, but…” Shi Yuanyuan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Xizhi.

“No buts, hurry back. ” She didn’t want Zhou Yining to look down on her.

“Okay.”

Shi Yuanyuan and Si Yaqing unwillingly walked back to Class 1, and the two of them were still looking back from time to time.

“Tch, if it weren’t for my family telling me to coax her, do you think I would be willing to put up with her young mistress temper?” Shi Yuanyuan muttered in a low voice.

Si Yaqing patted her shoulder and echoed, “Who says otherwise? If it weren’t for my family telling me to get close to her, I would have stayed far away from her long ago. Who can stand her bad temper?”

“Hey, but we also have to be careful, we can’t let Zhou Yining win her over.” Shi Yuanyuan reminded.

“I know.” Si Yaqing frowned.

In the end, they were willing to be Jiang Xizhi’s followers because it was profitable.

On the other side, Zhou Yining and Jiang Xizhi had already left the teaching building, and the two of them came to the playground.

Zhou Yining found a secluded place before stopping.

“You’re looking for me because of the diary?” Jiang Xizhi asked.

Zhou Yining nodded, “I really need your help. I don’t have money or connections to find a computer expert to check the IP address that posted those confession walls. Can you help me?”

Jiang Xizhi looked up at Zhou Yining,

“Of course I can. That person deliberately put your diary on my desk, clearly wanting to frame me. I’m also one of the victims.”

“Okay, thank you for helping me. If there’s any news, can you tell me as soon as possible?”

Jiang Xizhi nodded, and then she looked at Zhou Yining arrogantly, “I don’t even have your contact information, how am I going to contact you?”

Zhou Yining smiled at her and took out her old phone, “I’ll scan you.”

“Okay.” Jiang Xizhi took out her phone with satisfaction, and put up her WeChat QR code, waiting for Zhou Yining to scan it.

Zhou Yining was fiddling with this broken phone.

It might be because she used it to record audio at noon, so the phone’s memory was taken up a lot.

It was so stuck right now that it took half a day just to open WeChat.

Jiang Xizhi was shocked. Could a phone really be this stuck?

“How long ago is this phone from? Can it still be used?”

Seeing Jiang Xizhi looking at her phone in shock, Zhou Yining smiled at Jiang Xizhi,

“There’s no way, I’ll just use it for now. Wait a moment, I’ll turn it off and restart it, and it should be fine.”
