She cried her heart out and then fell asleep with her uniform and shoes still on .
Mu Yinan knocked on the door but no one answered. He was afraid so he asked the butler for the spare key . He opened the door and saw her sleeping on the bed her uniform and shoes still on . He went towards the bed only to see her face . Stained with tears and dried snot . She looked pitiful. Anyone would know she was crying. What had happened again that would make her to cry ? He thought to himself .
"Yanyan wake up " he said as he shook her .
"What time is it?" she asked after yawning .
"Its dinner time dear go amd get ready ?" He saw her shinning bright eyes were dimmed and weren't shining.
"Alright " .
As she said finished talking, he kissed her in her forehead and left . She immediately left to get ready and then went downstairs for dinner . She sat down were she always sat down .
"Xiner how was school today ?" Shen Yue asked .
Xiner didn't know whether to tell them or not so she looked at Xinyan.
"It was fine " Xinyan said.
"Yes school was okay "
She would ask her sister why she lied later . Now she would cover for her for now .
Xinyan didn't say another word . She didn't even have strength to talk after crying so hard . She ate and then went back to her room . She turned of the light immediately and went off to sleep. She needed energy to get back at Xuleo. Not because she wanted to prove herself right to Lu Song but because of Xiner. She had long given up on Lu Song. She didn't want such a fickle and untrustworthy person like Lu Song as her friend. She slept peacefully.
Somewhere, Mo Xuleo was having wonderful dreams . She had successfully separated Lu Song and Mu Xinyan.
Tomorrow she would impress Lu Song with her high grades . She slept very soundly.
...
The next day.
Xinyan had pushed her heartache aside and returned back to her cheery self . She did everything per normal and was ready for the day .
"Jiejie" Xiner came into her room .
"Xiner, how was your night? "
"Fine , yesterday at dinner why did you lie ?"
Xinyan knew exactly what she was referring to .
"I did that because I didnt want mom and dad to be worried "
"Alright then let's go get breakfast "
The two girls went downstairs together.
They came at the usual time .
"Yiyi will come with me first ?"
"What is it ?"
"Just come with me. I'll explain on the way " She explained everything to her .
"Typical Xuleo " she said . Some people might be surprised but the girl had tried to kill her before so she wasn't that surprised.
They got to the staffroom and called on teacher Shen.
"Girls what is it ?"
"We have something to report "
" Alright shoot "
They narrated the whole story to him . She omitted the parts where Lu Song came and said those hurtful words to her . Not because she was trying to protect him but because she didn't want to think about it .
Teacher Shen could not believe it . He had been their class teacher since the seventh grade . Xuleo was always nice to teachers and students. She got very nice grades and always came first in class . It was unbelievable.
"Was there anyone else there ?"
"Yes Lu Song "
"Jiayi go call me Xuleo and Lu Song "
Jiayi quickly left .
"Xuleo come to the staffroom with me teacher Chen has called for you "
"Why? "
"Like you don't know " Jiayi retorted.
"Lu Song the teacher is also calling you " she said then quickly stepped away and went back to the staffroom.
"Xuleo what's wrong ?"
"It might be one of her tricks , I'll come with you "
"Yes I'll come with you too "
The whole class ended up following Xuleo to the staffroom and Lu Song went too .
Hate ... his eyes were blinded with hate . Even if it was something he had to say , he would say as much incriminating words as he can say just so she would be punished.
He didn't know his words yesterday had hurt her so much his actions would just be like dancing on the piles of rocks from a broken house .
Teacher Chen was okay with the amount of people that arrived. He led them all to the a.v room , where they could see things from the security cameras kept around the school .
In his heart he already believed Xuleo didn't do it and this girl must have been jealous . All these were just formalities to him and he wanted to teach the other students a lesson about jealousy.
"Xuleo what happened yesterday . Tell me your side "
Xuleo told him the story she told Lu Song.
Teacher Shen immediately believed her .
"Xinyan I didn't think you would do this . You looked calm and I thought you were a good kid not a troublemaker and a deceiver. "
"Sir you believe but she has no proof " Jiayi said .
"I have a witness , bro Song is my witness "
Everyone looked at Lu Song.
"Yes she did say that . She's guilty and still lying. She should be punished " Each words he said was more hurtful than the next but she composed herself.
"Teacher before you make a decision
, please do check the footage " she said simply .
Xuleo's face drained of color . She couldn't tell them not to because she would seem suspicious so she said nothing. She wanted to leave but the door was blocked with other students. What could she do ? She just looked pale while teacher Chen was furiously searching for the footage.
Teacher Chen was furious. Why did his precious class which other teachers were jealous of have to be stained by such a bad egg . They would probably ridicule him because he was quite proud and today even bragged about how Xuleo will get the highest marks as usual .
He finally found the footage and smirked. He would punish her so much after this . He pushed the button and everyone saw and heard the truth . Xuleo wished the earth would swallow her up immediately. Jiayi smirked and everyone in their class were shocked even teacher Chen . He had so much faith in Xuleo yet she disappointed him .
Xuleo couldn't say anything. Could she say it was a mistake, or could she say sorry ?
No one would forgive or listen to her so she looked down and said nothing .
"Everyone please go back to class ." Teacher Shen said .
"Xuleo stay behind "
...
In the classroom,
"Yanyan how did you know there was a security camera ?"
"Jiayi asked "
"I saw it when I went in there yesterday. "
"Her face must hurt because that face slap was off the charts sweet " she was extremely happy .
Even Xia was too . The three chatted happily except Xinyan who felt hurt and didn't say much .
"Guys I have a bit of a headache could you please go discuss somewhere else. "
"Sure we'll talk later ".
"Alright " the two left her desk and she put her head down . Her tears fell on the floor as she cried .
Lu Song was at his seat feeling guilty . Why didn't he believe her ? He recalled the the hurtful words he said . He bent down to pick up something and saw the floor below where Xinyan was sitting wet and he watched as a tear drop fell to the ground .
He even said such hurtful things to her . He wanted her to be punished. He didn't even know the full story . He remembered how he said they would be together till they grew up . He lied to her and insulted her .
She would never forgive him . Xinyan finally sat up and rubbed her eyes .
Lu Song just looked at her his bangs covering his eyes .
She looked at him her gaze cold without any emotion and looked away .
That look , she always looked at him happily with a smile now she didn't even have hate filled in his eyes . That Xuleo, she had ruined his friendship. She was his first friend , his best friend and his only friend . Now he was alone . He listened in on the conversation of those around him .
"I can't believe Xuleo would do something like that . "
"I can't believe Lu Song believed her "
"Yes infact they make a perfect couple . He betrayes his best friend and she deceived all her friends . "
"The innocent Xinyan, she was okay with her life and her best friend but her best friend supported her enemy "
"Who knew the young master of the Lu family and the young miss of the Mo family to be like this "
"Jiayi has to be a good person too right. She supported her friend "
"And no matter what anyone said she still supported Xinyan "
"Xinyan must be hurt look her eyes her red . She must have been crying "
"It probably hurts a lot "
Lu Song was devasted . He should ask her to forgive him . Even if they weren't genuine friends , even if it was just for his money , he wanted her to be his friend again . She actually genuinely wanted to be his friend. He didn't want to be alone . He wanted to be with her .
"Yanyan I'm sorry . I didn't believe you it was my fault . Please forgive me and lets be best friends again "Everyone turned to where Lu Song was asking for forgiveness.
"Young master Lu I've already forgiven you but I will never be your friend again talkless of best friends. I even abhor the fact that we are classmates. So we will never be able to become best friends. You can become best friends with Xuleo. You believed what she said and didn't believe me . Oh and don't call me Yanyan only close friends and family call me that . Please leave my desk its making me uncomfortable before the whole school finds out the great young master of the Lu family is begging the lowly young miss of the Mu family because he didn't trust her . You wouldn't want to tarnish your reputation like how you almost tarnished mine right " She didn't feeel the slightest guilt or remorse when saying these things . He hurt her feelings first so she wouldn't hold back either .
Before Lu Song could reply . Teacher Chen came into the class with Xuleo whose eyes were blood red and she was sniffling to show how much she cried . She looked really pitiful and weak .
"Xinyan I'm sorry , I was just jealous please forgive me " she sad in between sobs. Everyone felt bad for her and had infact already forgiven her .
"I don't acccept your apology . "
"Please accept it I beg of you I'll never bother you and Bro Song, I'll leave him alone for you "
"This isn't about Young master Lu. It about my sister she was so terribly scared "
