The two faced off, and passersby stopped in their tracks, staring at the dramatic scene, their eyes nearly popping out.
"What nonsense is this?" Li Qifei was so furious that he could barely articulate his words: "Me? When did I???"
"You don't need to say anything more!" Feng Ning interrupted him. Amidst the uproar, she tore the "evidence" into pieces and forcefully threw it at his face. "You really have no shame! I haven't even settled the score with you for stalking me back to my dorm last time. And now you dare to slander my reputation on BBS. If you keep this up, I'll fight you!"
The more she spoke, the more vivid the story became. Each of her words was loud and clear, and the students nearby were pointing and whispering about them.
Li Qifei wore an expression of utter disbelief, as if to say, "What the hell are you talking about?" He struggled to keep his voice steady: "Are you schizophrenic?"
Feng Ning raised her index finger to her lips: "Shh, stop talking nonsense."
True to her dramatic nature, she took on the role of the victim perfectly: "You came to our class during self-study to try to get on my good side; many people saw it. It's just that I wasn't interested in you."
Li Qifei closed his eyes in frustration, nearly fainting: "Who saw it?"
Feng Ning was assertive and domineering as she shouted loudly: "Jiang Wen—"
Jiang Wen was taken aback, never expecting this twist.
Some indignant bystanders were recording videos as a path opened up for Jiang Wen through the crowd.
Feng Ning was like a living embodiment of a female tyrant, raising her chin and pointing at the drenched Li Qifei, asking imperiously, "This is the person who asked me for my contact information, right?"
Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Wen blinked solemnly and nodded.
This incident later became widely known; BBS exploded with discussions. Even if Li Qifei tried to talk his way out of it, no one would believe him.
After all, who is Jiang Wen?
A top student, handsome, one of the best students, highly intelligent; just mentioning his name makes one feel impressed, as if he carries a shining aura.
Would someone like him help Feng Ning lie? Is it really necessary?
Moreover, these two don't seem to have a good relationship usually!
After finishing the performance with her, they stepped out of the astonished gazes of the crowd, leaving behind the buzzing discussions. Jiang Wen's face showed no signs, but inside, his emotions were turbulent and unsettled.
Under the camphor tree, Feng Ning turned back and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Jiang Wen replied, "I helped you deceive."
She met his gaze in surprise and said, "What's wrong with lying? Haven't you ever lied to someone?"
Jiang Wen paused for a few seconds and said seriously, "On matters of principle, I do not lie."
For her sake, his bottom line kept dropping.
"Hmph, who cares if he provokes me," Feng Ning said nonchalantly. "Actually, I have a bit of a dark side; if people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. But if someone does offend me, even if they are far away, they will be punished!"
Jiang Wen said, "I've already made him delete the post and apologize."
Feng Ning smiled faintly and replied, "Do you remember what I said? When the result is laid out here, the truth doesn’t matter at all. Even if you made Li Qifei apologize, so what? What’s the use? Most people have already gotten the truth they wanted from that post. What you need to do is destroy his 'fact' and then create another 'fact' that others will believe. Do you understand?"
Jiang Wen fell silent and quietly listened to her dissect that theory.
"The magic of gossip lies in its ability to satisfy people's curiosity. Compared to the revelations on BBS, it's clear that 'a pervert's unrequited love for a beautiful woman leads to anger and online rumors' is much more stimulating than 'a poor girl chasing after a wealthy young master,' and it better fulfills their desires."
After saying this, she chuckled and asked, "Do you think I'm bad?"
Jiang Wen remained silent.
"But I find it quite enjoyable," Feng Ning hinted, "Being good-looking makes it easier to do bad things. Thanks for helping me today."
He remained cold and distant. "Don't get carried away."
"Alright, alright." Feng Ning shook her head playfully. "I understand, I understand; it's because you don't like him."
Walking back from the Auditorium to the Sophomore area required crossing most of the campus. Looking up at the sky, dark clouds loomed overhead, signaling that rain was likely.
Just as this thought crossed her mind, a gust of wind suddenly picked up, and a few cool raindrops hit her forehead.
"Are you going back to the classroom?"
Feng Ning wiped the water from her forehead and casually replied, "Why go back to the classroom? The exams are over. I'm heading back to my dorm to pack my things and go home."
"Oh."
"By the way," Feng Ning suddenly became curious, "I haven't seen you with Zhao Binlin and the others lately. Weren't you all like conjoined twins before?"
Jiang Wen felt a shiver at her words. "What do you mean by conjoined twins? Don't say it so strangely." He slowly replied, "They've been a bit busy lately."
She was intrigued. "Busy with what?"
"Let's date."
"A brother in front of a woman is not worth mentioning," Feng Ning sighed. "Aren't you lonely then?"
Jiang Wen replied inexplicably, "What do I have to be lonely about?"
Feng Ning smiled and didn't answer the question. She stretched lazily, her eyes sparkling. "Jiang Wen, do you want to go on an adventure?"
"Adventure? What kind of adventure?"
"You'll know when you go. Are you going or not?"
Jiang Wen refused, "I don't want to."
"Come on, let's go."
He remained unmoved, "I'm not going."
Gradually, the rain began to pour harder. Feng Ning puffed out her cheeks. "Well then, are you going back to the dormitory?"
Jiang Wen nodded.
"How about I take you on a shortcut?"
Jiang Wen shook his head.
"Alright then, I'll go ahead. Bye!"
After saying that, she turned around briskly, leaving Jiang Wen feeling a bit flustered.
With the final exams over and the next semester still a long way off, they might not see each other for quite some time. Hesitating slightly, Jiang Wen called out, "Wait a minute."
Feng Ning stopped and turned back, "Hmm?"
Realizing he had been too eager, he switched to a more casual tone and asked, "Where are you going?"
Feng Ning waved his hand like a boss giving orders to his subordinates, "Come with me!"

The sky began to drizzle as they stopped in front of an iron gate. Jiang Wen frowned, "Where is this?"
Feng Ning replied solemnly, "The girls' dormitory."
Jiang Wen had a vague sense of foreboding, "What are you bringing me here for?"
"I told you, I'm taking you on a shortcut!"
Due to different schedules, the senior girls' dormitory and the sophomore dormitory were separated. The senior students hadn't finished school yet, and the main entrance to the dormitory was still locked. The terrain here formed a shape resembling a '卜', and they were stuck at the acute angle. The obtuse angle led to the girls' dormitory; they needed to climb over it and then find another way out.
Feng Ning gestured to illustrate his point.
Jiang Wen questioned, "You want me to climb over the girls' dorm wall?"
"What's wrong with that? Why are you so worked up!" Feng Ning reasoned with him, "If you take my route and climb over here, you can save a lot of time. I usually take this shortcut when I wake up late!"
After saying that, she skillfully moved a square brick from a corner and wedged it between two thin iron poles. She secured it tightly with her hands, then clapped and said to Jiang Wen, "Watch closely!"
She tossed her backpack aside, took a step back, grabbed the railing with both hands, and stepped onto the low wall edge. Finding a foothold with ease, she pushed off the wedged brick and swiftly sprang over, moving even more nimbly than a monkey.
In just a few moments, she landed on the ground and asked, "Did you see that clearly?"
Jiang Wen shook his head and hesitated, "I didn't."
"Why not?"
"I don't want to jump."
Feng Ning grew anxious and urged him from across, "You've come all this way, what are you afraid of? Hurry up! Are you even a man?" After much persuasion and some intimidation, Feng Ning continued, "There's no one here anyway. If you go out from here and walk a few hundred meters, you'll be there. Taking the long way will take you half an hour! Look at the sky; it might rain heavily at any moment. Really, trust me on this."
In the end, Jiang Wen was brainwashed by her.
The jeans he wore today somewhat restricted his movements. Clumsily imitating her earlier actions, when he reached the highest point, Jiang Wen glanced down and turned pale, feeling helpless and unwilling to continue.
Feng Ning was waiting below with her hands on her hips, looking up at him. "Are you just going to sit up there enjoying the view?"
"I..." Jiang Wen cleared his throat. "Just a moment."
Feng Ning shouted, "The seniors are about to finish class; what are you still waiting for!"
He took a deep breath twice, realizing how foolish he was to follow her into doing something only elementary school kids would do.
After pondering for a moment, Feng Ning suddenly realized, "You’re not afraid of heights, are you?!"
Jiang Wen couldn't bear it any longer and said: "Shut up."
Feng Ning repeatedly said, "Alright, I won't talk." She was very patient: "Don't be nervous, don't look down. I'll guide you slowly."
After a few minutes, Feng Ning's bad luck came true as the rain started pouring harder.
Jiang Wen had long legs, and it was quite difficult for him to maneuver. His hands trembled slightly, and just as he finally stepped onto that brick and let out a sigh of relief, he heard Feng Ning exclaim that it was bad.
Just then, the loud voice of the Dormitory Supervisor came through the loudspeaker: "What's going on over there? Are two people climbing over the wall?!!!!!!!"
"Oh no, oh no, the aunt is coming." Feng Ning urged him anxiously, moving closer to support his waist. "Hurry down, I'll catch you."
Jiang Wen had veins bulging on his forehead, turning his head in anger. "Where are your hands touching?"
"Ah, ah?" Feng Ning looked closely and realized her foot was pressed against his backside. She shifted to his thigh and let out a couple of surprised sounds, coughing lightly as she laughed: "I didn't mean to; with this thickness, I can't feel anything anyway."
Seeing that the Dormitory Supervisor was about to come over, Jiang Wen couldn't care less anymore and hurriedly dropped down.
With a ripping sound, their clothes tore. The two bent down to grab their bags from the ground, and Feng Ning led Jiang Wen left and right, running frantically without a clear path.
