Qian Xiaoguo had been feeling very down lately. Mianmian had been comforting her, intentionally spending more time talking and chatting with her, hoping she could overcome her gloom soon.
"You should focus on studying now. If you feel unhappy, just do more practice problems and read more books. You'll definitely get into a good high school then."
"I know, stop nagging. You're almost an old lady." Qian Xiaoguo didn't want Mianmian to worry too much about her. In reality, she hadn't told anyone how bad her situation was. She forced herself to come to class every day just for the people closest to her.
If it weren't for fear of them worrying, she would have retreated into her own world and faced no one.
But this way, her pressure was truly immense.
Especially facing constant gossip and the knowing glances and mockery from her classmates every day, it was too painful.
She understood what Mianmian was saying, and she pretended to listen, but her heart was suffering the most agonizing torment every single day. Da Feng Novel Network
Her seemingly peaceful life was finally shattered by a photograph.
Qian Xiaoguo never imagined that Zhao Ke would be such a despicable person. He had actually taken indecent photos of her.
"Xiaoguo, I like you so much, how can you bear to leave me? I can only sleep now by looking at your photo every day. I want to get back together, please consider it?" Zhao Ke sent a message.
Qian Xiaoguo trembled with anger. Jiang Mianmian noticed something was wrong and asked, "Xiaoguo, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No... no, maybe I'm just a bit cold. The temperature dropped today, and I didn't wear enough." Qian Xiaoguo forced a smile.
"It's not cold today, Xiaoguo. Are you hiding something from me?" Mianmian frowned, looking at her.
"I need to go to the restroom. Can you tell the teacher for me? I have a stomachache." Qian Xiaoguo walked out of the classroom like a phantom, holding her phone, and went to the restroom.
Standing in the cubicle, her hands trembled as she took out her phone. Her fingertips were shaking as she typed, "What do you want! How could you take such photos! Zhao Ke, I've already broken up with you, delete the photos immediately!"
"If you want the photos back, meet me at the usual spot at 8 PM tonight," Zhao Ke replied.
Qian Xiaoguo was so angry she cried, and also scared. She didn't know what Zhao Ke intended to do. Now that he had leverage over her, she dared not disobey him. She was terrified that if her photos were spread, she wouldn't be able to face anyone!
If her parents found out about this, how disappointed they would be. She knew her parents loved her dearly and had never demanded that she be exceptional, yet she had done something so embarrassing for them.
Qian Xiaoguo felt as if she were dying. She desperately tried to calm herself and opened the cubicle door. As soon as it opened, she was pulled violently into the innermost corner. She wanted to scream, but her mouth was gagged. She looked at the boy in front of her in terror, not knowing what he intended to do.
"You little slut, what are you looking at? Aren't you just a used piece of trash? What are you pretending for!" The boy slapped her across the face.
Qian Xiaoguo was almost scared out of her mind.
Mianmian hadn't seen Qian Xiaoguo return. She was too worried and left the classroom to find her without asking the teacher.
When she found Qian Xiaoguo, she saw her sitting in the restroom crying.
Mianmian anxiously asked her what was wrong, but she just shook her head and cried.
