After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Many things have changed in Chapter Five.

"Campus network." Mu Xi asked in surprise, "Judging from your tone, you two really went on a date?"

"It wasn't a date, it was just going to buy books together," I explained calmly. "After all, we both want to improve ourselves."

Mu Xi looked puzzled: "He's going to start studying too?"

"Yes, that's right." I felt a little guilty.

Actually not.

"Did the sun rise in the west?" Mu Xi asked, puzzled. "But those people were really going too far. They said you two were dating, and that two academic underachievers went on a date at the bookstore. It's ridiculous."

That's it again!

She was secretly photographed and the photos were posted on the campus website.

Who is it? !

Who exactly is behind all this?!

This time, I'm determined to find this person!

"Muxi, do you know who posted the message?" I asked.

Mu Xi is more informed about this than I am.

One of her aunts is the head of the grade at the school.

"I'll go ask for you." Mu Xi hung up the video call.

I logged onto the campus network to take a look.

As expected, the person who posted this time was the same one as last time, both using the name: One Day.

At this time, Huo Yushen added me as a friend.

It turns out we haven't added each other on WeChat yet.

I clicked "Accept".

Huo Yushen: I've seen the post. Sorry, I'll handle it.

He already knows?

Even though he's not from our school, I can't believe I noticed him.

Me: How did you know?

Huo Yushen: This matter involves Yu Bai; he told me about it.

So even the school bully uses the campus network.

Me: It's okay, I can handle it. If you get involved, wouldn't that expose your relationship with Huo Yubai?

Huo Yushen: If this clarifies things, then it's fine.

Me: But once your relationship is exposed, Huo Yubai will probably be very annoyed. Don't worry, I can handle it. But could you ask Huo Yubai to cooperate with me a little?

Huo Yushen: How do we cooperate?

Me: Please, could he improve his ranking a few places in this exam? o(╥﹏╥)o, that way I can explain that we're together to improve our grades?

Huo Yushen: Leave it to me.

Me: Then I'll leave it to you (^.^).

Huo Yushen: Hmm.

very good!

Huo Yubai has already taken care of things.

Mu Xi also sent me a message: Shen Yan, I found out that the person who posted the message is Liu Shengyan from Class 5.

Liu Shengyan?

This is the first time I've heard of this name.

Mu Xi: She just transferred here, less than a month ago.

Me: Do you know exactly which day she transferred here?

Mu Xi: Early October.

I calculated the time, and it's the time when the first post appeared.

This is too coincidental.

Posts appeared on her very first day at the school, which clearly shows that my feud with her didn't start on the day she transferred.

The problem is, I don't know her at all.

We can't rush this investigation. I'll see her first thing on Monday when school starts.

Mu Xi: Hahaha, Shen Yan, good news! Wang Ming and Chen Qiu got beaten up.

I was taken aback.

They got beaten up. Could it be that Huo Yu did it for nothing?

Me: Who beat them up?

Mu Xi: I saw someone post that the two of them provoked people outside the school. They have the worst mouths, they deserve it!

Off-campus personnel?

I felt uneasy, worried that Huo Yubai had hired someone to beat me up.

If someone finds out, that could be a huge problem.

I quickly looked for Huo Yushen: Is Huo Yubai home?

A moment later, Huo Yushen sent a picture of Huo Yubai studying, looking very impatient.

I breathed a sigh of relief: the two people we ran into at the bookstore today got beaten up.

Huo Yushen: It wasn't Yu Bai who did it.

I'm relieved.

Huo Yushen: He's not that stupid.

Me: That's good.

Huo Yushen: Actually, he wasn't that violent.

I quickly explained: I know, actually those two people deserved it too.

Huo Yushen: They deserve it.

Me: Then you can continue to tutor Huo Yubai.

Huo Yushen: You should also study hard.

I put down my phone and took a deep breath.

Indeed, nothing can stop me.

Get started!

-

weekend.

My parents are back from their hometown.

For some reason, my mother looked a little tired when she came back from her hometown this time.

I know my mother has never liked going back to her hometown.

Because my grandparents were very sexist and favored boys over girls, they didn't like me.

So every time my parents go over, they urge me to have a baby.

I'm almost ready for college, and they still haven't given up.

I imagine they'll be talking about it again when I go back this time.

"Mom." I went into the bedroom and saw my mother packing her luggage. "Did Grandpa and Grandma make things difficult for you again?"

"No." My mother didn't dare look at me.

Since I met Gu Heng, I haven't paid much attention to my mother.

But this time I realized that my mother actually looked very unwell.

"Mom, what's wrong?" I asked, holding my mother's hand. Her fingers were very cold.

"It's alright," Mom said with a smile. "Go and study."

But to me, she seemed to be putting on a brave face.

"How exactly did Grandpa and Grandma bully you?" I asked anxiously. "Mom, don't be sad, I'm here for you."

Mom raised her hand and placed it on my head, gently rubbing it: "I'm not sad. What your grandparents said has no effect on me at all. I haven't cared about it for so many years."

The more she said that, the more I felt something was off.

A nagging thought crossed my mind: "Mom, is Dad cheating on me?"

A distinct look of panic flashed in her mother's eyes: "You, you child, what nonsense are you talking about? Your father... he's fine, don't overthink it."

Something's wrong!

Something is wrong!

"Mom, I'm all grown up now. Tell me the truth, did you two go back to your hometown this time to get a divorce?" I blurted out.

Having lived an extra lifetime, I have a very clear understanding of marital relationships.

After I said that, my mother could no longer hold back her tears.

Looks like I guessed right.

"Yan Yan, listen to your mother. Even if your father and I divorce, my love for you will not diminish." Her mother's eyes were red.

She was still trying to comfort me.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me if having sex would affect my college entrance exam?" I asked, frowning.

The mother burst into tears.

I looked at the suitcase; it only contained my mother's clothes.

It looks like they've separated.

I am so unfilial. I only cared about Gu Heng and didn't notice my mother's strange behavior.

Was this one of the reasons she went mad in her past life?

"Mom, don't be sad, you still have me." I hugged her.

My mother's body was a little stiff.

In the past, I was willful and immature, I didn't know how to care for my mother, and I couldn't even understand her.

She must have had a very hard time.

The mother suddenly sobbed softly, "Yan Yan, I've failed so much. I haven't been able to give you a complete family. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

With tears in my eyes, I said, "Mom, you don't need to apologize to me. You did nothing wrong."

Mom started crying.

My heart clenched.

After she finished crying, I asked, "Mom, who is Dad's mistress?"
