They had all grown up in the same social circle. They knew exactly what Shen Anya meant. She had practically admitted that the person in the photos was Shen Luoluo!

The girls exchanged glances and put on a show of apologizing. "Sorry. We didn't know you and your sister were so close. We won't say anything about her again."

"What?!" someone suddenly cried. "The post is gone! It's been deleted!"

Shen Anya smiled. "Deleted? That's good."

So what if it was deleted? The photos had already been posted, and everyone knew Shen Luoluo was a country bumpkin. They couldn't erase everyone's memories too!

Now she could watch Shen Luoluo leave Rocket Class in disgrace because she couldn't stand the gossip, or wait until the monthly exam and watch her get kicked out. Either way, Shen Anya had gotten what she wanted!

Meanwhile, in Rocket Class...

Qin Shiyue had only found out that morning, when she arrived at school, that someone had put Shen Luoluo on blast on the forum.

After reading the post, she had wanted to call its author an idiot. She despised people who used such cheap, underhanded tactics. If they had a problem, they should face her head-on! What kind of person hid behind a screen to slander someone? Only a brainless one!

But she had to admit the tactic was working. Since morning, people had kept passing the classroom in the corridor, pointing and whispering. It was obvious what they were talking about.

Qin Shiyue turned around and said, "Luoluo, don't listen to what those people online are saying. They don't know you at all. They're making things up out of nothing, and they're not worth getting upset over."

Shen Luoluo looked up from her book and smiled. "Don't worry. I don't care about any of that." Shen Anya's little stunt was meant to drive her out of Rocket Class, but she wouldn't give her the satisfaction!

"Hey, some people sure have thick skin. How can someone with a score barely over three hundred bear to stay in Rocket Class?"

"Sheng Mingzhou, shut the fuck up!" Qin Shiyue wanted nothing more than to slap him.

"What? Am I wrong? I'm just stating the fa—"

Bang!

Before Sheng Mingzhou could finish, someone kicked him over, desk and all.

Ever since the bad-breath and farting incident two days earlier, his deskmate had been moved elsewhere. Sheng Mingzhou was the only one left in his row, and now, pinned beneath his desk, he couldn't get up.

Furious, he roared, "Qi Yang, what the fuck is wrong with you?!"

The culprit stood with his hands in his pockets and one foot on the desk, smiling innocently. "Oh, it's Sheng Mingzhou. I thought I heard a dog barking. You heard it too, right, Chen Jiashu?"

Chen Jiashu nodded along. "Sure did. It came from right under your foot. Pretty loud, too. Yapping away like a rabid dog."

"Pfft—" The class burst out laughing. The two of them were calling Sheng Mingzhou a rabid dog.

They played off each other perfectly, each remark more infuriating than the last.

"Guess it wasn't a rabid dog after all. It was Sheng Mingzhou," Chen Jiashu went on. "Qi Yang, you'd better move. It'd be bad if you hurt someone while trying to catch a dog."

"True." Qi Yang nodded. "I was trying to hit a dog, but it ran off." He drew back his long leg, bent slightly, and looked down at Sheng Mingzhou. His handsome eyes curved into a smile. "But bark again, and you won't be so lucky next time."

He was smiling, but Sheng Mingzhou froze in fright and didn't dare say another word. He knew Qi Yang would do exactly what he said.

Qin Shiyue couldn't help applauding.

Just then, the class study representative hurried through the door, still out of breath. "Shen Luoluo, Sheng Mingzhou—the teacher wants you both at the Academic Affairs Office."

As soon as they left the classroom, Qin Shiyue caught hold of the study representative. "What's going on?"

The study representative panted. "I-it seems to be about the forum post. Shen Luoluo's family and Sheng Mingzhou's family are both here."

At that moment, in the school's Academic Affairs Office...

"Did Sheng Mingzhou really do this?" Sheng Mingzhou's mother stared at the documents in her hands in disbelief.

"Neither did we expect Mingzhou to do something like this!" Zhao Huizhen said, her face uncharacteristically cold.

That day, Zhao Huizhen had received a call from her son. He told her that photos of Luoluo from her time in the countryside had been posted on the school forum and that many students were mocking her. When he said the person who had posted them was Sheng Mingzhou, who was engaged to Anya, she hadn't believed it.

She couldn't believe a boy she had watched grow up would do such a thing—until she saw the evidence for herself.

"Mingzhou is engaged to Anya. Luoluo is Anya's sister and my daughter. After what Mingzhou has done, how are the children supposed to face each other?"

"If they can't, we'll call off the engagement!" Shen Ting'an said. His expression was no better than Zhao Huizhen's, and his clipped tone suggested he was barely holding back his anger.

"Wait, Anya's mother and father, why bring up the engagement? This isn't that serious..."

"Mrs. Sheng," Shen Jingyao interrupted coldly. "Your son posted Luoluo's photos online without her permission. He violated her image rights and her privacy, and he slandered her. As a result, some students at this school have joined in harassing her. The first two violations alone are enough for us to sue you. Do you still think this isn't serious?"

This was the scene Shen Luoluo walked into at the Academic Affairs Office. Shen Ting'an, Zhao Huizhen, and Shen Jingyao all wore cold expressions. In all the days since she had come home, she had never seen them this angry.

"No, wait..." Sheng Mingzhou's mother was at a loss. When she saw them enter, she hurried over and grabbed Sheng Mingzhou. "Mingzhou, quickly! Explain to Anya's parents what happened with that post!"

"That's right. I posted it." Seeing the documents in his mother's hands, Sheng Mingzhou stopped making excuses and admitted it outright.
