"Uncle, I..." Xu Yingying was about to tell the truth, but she was trapped by her own thoughts. She didn't know whether she should tell the truth or make up an excuse.

The security guard interrupted her impatiently: "What excuse are you going to make?" His face clearly showed his dissatisfaction and distrust towards Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying looked at the doorman's cold, dismissive expression, feeling a surge of helplessness. She realized that no matter what she said, he wouldn't believe her. She couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous about her hesitation about whether to tell him the truth. After all, he was just a random character in the story, and yet she was taking it so seriously.

So, Xu Yingying decided not to bother with him any more, but quickly completed the registration formalities and walked briskly towards her classroom. She thought to herself, this uncle is just a minor figure anyway, there is no need to waste time on him.

Looking at Xu Yingying walking away, the security guard had an expression of "I knew it" on his face, as if he had already expected such an outcome.

At that moment, Xu Yingying appeared at the classroom door. Yuan Xiaoling looked at her in surprise, wondering, "What happened? Who saved her?" She thought someone had found out where Xu Yingying was and rescued her, but when she glanced behind her, she didn't see anyone.

Seeing this, the class representative who was leading everyone in morning reading on the podium quickly signaled Xu Yingying to return to her seat as soon as possible.

When Fan Weile walked into the classroom, he saw Xu Yingying's schoolbag already in its place, but when morning reading began, there was still no sign of Xu Yingying. Fan Weile was worried that she might have met with an accident again, and he was anxious. When he saw Xu Yingying come back, he asked, "Where have you been? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." After sitting down, Xu Yingying turned and looked in Lin Xiumin's direction. She noticed that Lin Xiumin had been staring at her because of her sudden appearance. The two nodded in tacit understanding, as if to greet each other. Only then did Xu Yingying realize that the person who had tricked her out was just a lie, and that Lin Xiumin was not in any danger.

However, when Xu Yingying looked down at herself, she found that apart from fainting and some marks on her hands from being tied with ropes, nothing serious had happened. This made Xu Yingying fall into deep thought.

Fan Weile, standing by, didn't stop paying attention to Xu Yingying just because she said she was fine. He was keenly aware of the strange aura emanating from her. He knew that Xu Yingying must have been going through something unusual, but she didn't seem willing to talk about it. He immediately dismissed the possibility that Xu Yingying might not want to tell him.

Yuan Xiaoling stared in disbelief as she watched Xu Yingying walk back to the classroom alone. This was completely beyond her expectations. She had originally thought that Xu Yingying would come back with a boy, or at least something else would happen. However, now Xu Yingying came back alone, which made her very surprised and confused.

Yuan Xiaoling thought to herself, "I had planned to do that while Xu Yingying was away, but she suddenly returned, and my plans were completely disrupted." She felt frustrated and helpless, unsure how to proceed. She also began to worry, wondering if Xu Yingying had told the teacher what had happened. If so, she might be in trouble.

Yuan Xiaoling was also curious about the person who had saved Xu Yingying. Who was he? Why did he appear there and save Xu Yingying? These questions kept swirling in her mind, leaving her feeling very confused.

It was not until the bell rang for the end of the first get out of class that Lin Xiumin came to Xu Yingying, and she woke up from her deep thoughts.

"Yingying, why did you arrive so late this morning?" Lin Xiumin asked Fan Weile what he wanted to know. Fan Weile had also asked Xu Yingying just now, and Xu Yingying had just said it was okay.

At this time, Xu Yingying looked at Lin Xiumin, and was also struggling with whether to tell her what happened in the morning. After thinking about it, Xu Yingying felt that since Lin Xiumin was the reason they tricked her to leave, would they do the same thing to Lin Xiumin? Xu Yingying felt that this matter could not be concealed from Lin Xiumin. So she stood up and said, "Xiuxiu, come with me to the bathroom!"

"Okay!" Lin Xiumin replied.

The two of them walked away arm in arm in front of Fan Weile.

You know, girls love to go to the bathroom in groups, and Fan Weile knew that. But he felt that Xu Yingying was avoiding him. She only wanted to tell Lin Xiumin something that she hadn't told him. This made Fan Weile suddenly feel isolated. Why did Xu Yingying avoid him?

Xu Yingying and the other walked into the corridor, and Xu Yingying began to speak: "Shortly after I arrived at the classroom this morning, someone told me that you had an accident on the road and tricked me out of the school."

Lin Xiumin was stunned when she heard that Xu Yingying was tricked out of school because of her!

"Soon after I left the school gate, I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I was in a dilapidated house on the hill near the school."

"Then I saw Yuan Xiaoling." Xu Yingying's three simple sentences made Lin Xiumin feel uncomfortable.

"Yingying, were you joking just now?" Lin Xiumin said.

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Xu Yingying looked at Lin Xiumin seriously.

Lin Xiumin's face turned pale instantly, and her lips trembled slightly. "How could this happen... Then what happened?"

Xu Yingying took a deep breath and continued, "Yuan Xiaoling told me that I took away her performance spot. She also said that I didn't deserve to have a friend, that is, you, and that she wanted to destroy our friendship."

Lin Xiumin's eyes widened as she asked in disbelief, "Is this all true? Why would Yuan Xiaoling do this?"

Xu Yingying shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe she's mentally twisted, or maybe she's doing it for some purpose. But in any case, her current behavior has hurt us."

Lin Xiumin felt a chill rising from her spine. Lin Xiumin held Xu Yingying's hand tightly and asked, "What should we do now?"

Xu Yingying patted Lin Xiumin's shoulder gently. "It's okay, this matter has passed. We must be more careful in the future and not trust others easily. At the same time, we must learn to protect ourselves and each other."

Lin Xiumin nodded, a determined look in her eyes. "Don't worry, Yingying, I will definitely learn my lesson. We must find out the truth and not let Yuan Xiaoling go unpunished."
