After Mian Mian left, Qian Xiao Guo took out her phone and messaged Zhao Ke, asking him what he wanted.
Zhao Ke proposed they continue dating. If she refused, he threatened to post her photos on the school forum and ruin her reputation.
Qian Xiao Guo's hands trembled as she slowly typed, "I agree to your terms. Give me all the photos, and you're not allowed to keep any copies."
"That depends on your performance," Zhao Ke shamelessly messaged back. "If you satisfy me, I'll give you back your freedom after a month."
Qian Xiao Guo closed her eyes, and after a long pause, she sent him a single word: "Okay!"
The moment she dropped her phone, she felt as if all her strength had drained away. She collapsed onto the bed, gasping for breath. The tightness in her chest made her feel as though she could barely breathe.
Upon returning to school, Mian Mian immediately contacted Yun Bu Ji. She pleaded with him to investigate what had happened to Qian Xiao Guo in the restroom that morning, wondering why she had been crying so much.
Yun Bu Ji agreed at once. He got up and left the classroom, heading home. To hack into the school's surveillance system, he needed a computer.
After some work, Yun Bu Ji had a general understanding of what had occurred. The surveillance footage showed that not long after Qian Xiao Guo entered the restroom, a male student went in. When he came out, he had a sly grin on his face, clearly indicating he had done something untoward.
Yun Bu Ji was no innocent. He knew exactly what that scoundrel had done to Qian Xiao Guo.
He was so enraged that he almost smashed his computer. He knew how badly Qian Xiao Guo had been exploited by that bastard Zhao Ke. In the past, he would have surely stepped in to defend Qian Xiao Guo and beat Zhao Ke to a pulp.
But now, he couldn't. He had promised Jiang Mian Mian that he would study hard, go to high school, and attend university. He couldn't afford any more trouble.
However, today's events made him furious. Qian Xiao Guo was a bit foolish, but that didn't justify her being subjected to such humiliation!
If Jiang Mian Mian found out about this, she would probably cry with anger. She cared deeply about her friend Qian Xiao Guo.
Yun Bu Ji considered rushing to the school to confront that scoundrel multiple times, but he restrained himself each time. He stayed home, unable to return. If he went back now, he would definitely teach that scoundrel a lesson.
So, he waited until school was over. Jiang Mian Mian found him and anxiously asked, "Did you find out? What happened?"
"I checked, and I watched the school surveillance. Nothing happened. Qian Xiao Guo might just be in a bad mood lately. You should talk to her and comfort her."
Yun Bu Ji had thought a lot that afternoon. Since Qian Xiao Guo hadn't told Jiang Mian Mian what had happened to her, it meant she didn't want Jiang Mian Mian to know, nor did she want anyone to know.
"It's good that nothing happened. I've been trying to comfort her, but you know, the rumors at school are so bad right now, my comfort isn't helping much. I'm really afraid she might become depressed." Mian Mian was genuinely worried about Qian Xiao Guo's mental state.
"You could try taking her for some counseling. Her situation is indeed quite bad. It's always good to be cautious," Yun Bu Ji didn't believe Qian Xiao Guo was a girl with strong resilience.
He thought she was the opposite – a very fragile girl. Given her current situation, psychological counseling would be best.
