       Before Tang Ruoyao expressed her opinion, Fu Yujun, the calmest of the three, couldn't help but slam her hand on the table. She yelled angrily: "It's so deceptive!"

  

  Cui Jiaren, shocked out of her mind, looked at everyone, and said anxiously: "What should we do?"

  

  Wen Shuxian had a violent temper: "Whether it’s bearable or not, I say beat her up! Beat her up! Regardless of her bodyguard, Jiaren, you are calling your boyfriend, and it’s happening. Say it was arranged by me!"

  

  Cui Jiaren: "Okay!"

  

  A slender hand crossed diagonally and gently took away Cui Jiaren's phone.

  

  Looking over her arm, Tang Ruoyao, the owner of the hand, looked at them indifferently.

  

  Wen Shuxian was about to explode: "If you stop me, I will fight you desperately! You let her rob that role, and this time let her rob the graduate representative. Don’t even look in the mirror: this is about her. Is she worthy? You allowed her to think so. But I won’t! I can’t tolerate it unlike you. If I hear a word come out from your mouth today, our friendship is over! Immediately! Immediately!"

  

  Fu Yujun stepped forward with the wisdom of thousands of years of elders, blocked the emotional Wen Shuxian, and persuaded: "Breaking off relationships or not, we are all sisters, so please speak your words well."

  

  Wen Shuxian was angry and spoke mindlessly: "Who’s being a good sister to her? I’m not the one who’s a useless sister!"

  

  Fu Yujun's expression changed, and she shot her another warning glance.

  

  Tang Ruoyao's expression is not very good.

  

  Wen Shuxian was taken aback for a moment. She slapped her hand over her mouth, and said, "I didn’t mean what I just said, don't take it to heart."

  

  After speaking, she pulled the chair away and sat backwards in the chair. With her back facing them, she began to sulk.

  

  Cui Jiaren retrieved her phone from Tang Ruoyao and climbed onto the bed silently.

  

  Fu Yujun glanced at Tang Ruoyao and patted her on the shoulder. Only a split second of disapproval flashed in her eyes.

  

  It's okay if you don't fight for yourself once or twice. But if you let others walk all over you again and again, the little clay figurines will be angry (T/N: this means that everyone has their own temper and will get angry once it builds up).

  

  After the quarrel (that was not considered a quarrel) in the dormitory just now, it was quiet, but the air was hotter and more sensitive than usual.

  

  Wen Shuxian picked up the book from the shelf without looking at it, and flipped through it carelessly. Cui Jiaren lowered her head while playing with her phone, and stopped fighting with Wen Shuxian. Fu Yujun was in her seat with the laptop screen in front of her.

  

  Only Tang Ruoyao was still standing on the spot, her eyelids drooping, and even she didn't know what she was thinking.

  

  "Did I say to just forget about it?"

  

  The sudden sound from the bedroom left the air cold to the bone. The three people who seemed to be focused on other tasks all raised their heads at once.

  

  Tang Ruoyao glanced at the crowd, and said coldly: "If she wants to be a graduate representative, it depends on whether she has the ability!"

  

  Tang Ruoyao can ignore the movie role and even the title of graduate representative--she doesn't care. But this is the only opportunity for her to be on the same stage with Qin Yinong, and she must achieve this at any cost.

  

  Even if Huo Yuke is completely in the wrong, it shouldn’t resort to violence. Don't even waste your breath on her, she's not worth it. Don't even cross paths with her!

  

  "That's right!" Wen Shuxian clapped her hands, happy again, and hurriedly called Cui Jiaren, "Quickly, call someone. Her face isn’t swollen yet, let’s fix that."

  

  Tang Ruoyao stopped her: "We will not beat her."

  

  Wen Shuxian took a deep breath and was about to argue again. But with Tang Ruoyao’s next sentence, her anger dissipated immediately.

  

  "I have another way." Tang Ruoyao said confidently. 

  

  Room 405 held a small secret meeting. Tang Ruoyao sat on the top with three roommates around her. Hearing her talk like this, all the eyes on her were wide and bright.

  

  Wen Shuxian exclaimed: "What is a soldier without a blade? My mind goes straight to Huo Yuke's vomiting blood; it’s too cruel. " She clasped her fists and laughed, "I am ashamed of it."

  

  She has an ass for a brain, how can she think in such a roundabout way?

  

   Tang Ruoyao pursed her lips. This won’t be easy.

  

   Fu Yujun knew what she was worried about, looked at her soothingly, and said, "It should be okay."

  

   Cui Jiaren asked: "So.. when?"

  

  Tang Ruoyao said, "Tonight. Which of you will pass the news to your classmates?"

  

   Wen Shuxian volunteered: "I can. I know many people."

  

   Fu Yujun continued: "I can too."

  

   Tang Ruoyao exhaled lightly, head: "Okay, both of you then."

  

   Wen Shuxian patted her chest to show her sincerity, and said cheerfully: "The matter is serious. Please take care of it."

  

   Fu Yujun was more restrained and only smiled.

  

   On the eighth night, the flow of gossip had peaked.

  

   Forum of Capital Academy of Drama.

  

   Title: ‌Bright! ! ! Today's outstanding graduate representative has been selected, it is Huo Yuke from the Acting Department! ! !

  

   Main building: as title, with a photo of Huo Yuke [picture]

  

   Comment 1: Huh? ? ? How could it be Huo Yuke? ? ?

  

   Comment 2: Don’t you mean Tang Ruoyao?

  

   Comment 3: I thought Tang Ruoyao too

  

   Comment 4: Who is this fucking oolong?

  

   Comment 5: Can school forums even spread rumors?

  

   Comment 6: I’m the original poster, and the source is absolutely true. It’s Huo Yuke! It’s all of you who have such narrow minds, that’s all.

  

   Tang Ruoyao was sitting in a chair in the dormitory. The fingers on the keyboard were covered with sticky, fine sweat. She wiped it with a tissue from time to time. If she looked closely, her whole body was trembling slightly because of tension.

  

   Tang Ruoyao's method was to disclose the news before the school announced the graduate representatives. It is certain that Huo Yuke is not qualified for the graduate representatives. It caused public opinion warfare before the announcement, and students will protest and publicly express their dissatisfaction after the announcement. The effect caused by this plan was by no means small.

  

   After the announcement, even if the students are dissatisfied, the school would also decide not to change the graduate representative because of the issue of credibility. Students will also feel that they are done at the school, and it is futile to resist any more. They will graduate soon, and it is better to do more than to do less.

  

   Tang Ruoyao was fighting this time difference. As long as it caused public outrage, the school would naturally not choose a person who was not worthy of virtue. No matter what Huo Yuke's had done to her, she would experience herself through karma!

  

   The news began to spread from floor to floor.

  

   Comment 31: Well if people are saying it’s Huo Yuke, then how about Wen Shuxian too? I think she is much more cute than Huo Yuke hahaha

  

   Comment 32: I prefer Fu Yujun in their bedroom

  

   Comment 33: The building is crooked, kick it straight, if it's Huo Yuke, no one will doubt what dirty transaction is behind it [pushing_up_glasses.jpg]

  

   Comment 34: I heard that Huo Yuke has a sponsor, is it true?

  

   Comment 35: Really, I’ve heard classmates say that they seem to be the boss of an entertainment company.

  

   Comment 36: What does that have to do with the school?

  

   Comment 37: The school was bought out?

  

   Comment 38: Sure, isn’t it all like this? Even the school is not immune, capital is in charge. [Shrug]

  

   Comment 39: Don’t say that, I still believe in the school.

  

   Comment 40: Hehe, why is it Huo Yuke? Don't say that her class is a hundred times better than Tang Ruoyao.

  

   Comment 41: The photography department is not convinced!

  

   Comment 42: Is it easy to bully when we are in the Department of Literature?

  

   Comment 43: Not satisfied [+1 upvote]

  

   Comment 44: Opera department here, how is Sun Xiaoxiao in our department worse than Huo Yuke? Has Huo Yuke appeared on stage at the Sydney Opera House or played the Phantom? Does she want to go to heaven? [+1 upvote]

  

   Comment 45: The Beijing Opera department also wants to join in the fun, we are still the quintessence of the country [smile]

  

   Comment 46: Beijing Opera! Roll out!

  

   The university is the last ivory tower in life. In this ivory tower, many students still want to stick to their inner justice, and are about to set foot on the society and leave the last piece of pure land. Some things are beyond our ability to fight, and things are beyond our ability.

  

   A single spark may start a prairie fire.

  

   Tang Ruoyao and Cui Jiaren fan the fire on the Internet, while Fu Yujun and Wen Shuxian are responsible for spreading the news offline.

  

   Wen Shuxian has an outgoing personality, knows many students from other classes, and has good relationships. She never shies away from being hostile to Huo Yuke, and she doesn't need to pretend to. At this moment, she was holding ice cream in one hand, and the younger classmates beside her stood with anxious look: "God, I’m pissed!" 

  

   The other younger girl was busy comforting her: "What's the matter? What happened for you to be so angry?"

  

   Wen Shuxian said: "It’s so shady! I’m pissed off!"

  

   The girl asked: "Huh? What’s shady?"

  

   "You don’t know?" Wen Shuxian looked surprised, as if this matter had spread all over.

  

   The younger classmates were stunned.

  

  ——I don’t know, what's the matter?

  

  Wen Shuxian added more energy and jealousy about the school's appointment of Huo Yuke as the representative of outstanding graduates. One of those younger classmates happened to be a leader in another department, and her face suddenly didn't look good.

  

  Wen Shuxian said to her: "Huo Yuke is a bitch, relying on her relationships to dirty the reputation of our school. She’s nowhere as good as you, and yet you didn't get the title of graduate representative. How could she do this?"

  

   She gritted her teeth bitterly. She still wanted to pretend to be humble.

  

  ——Oh, Huo Yuke is good... I am not good enough for that title. The school may have its reasons for choosing her.

  

  Another underclassman who was bought by Wen Shuxian came out and said, "What is the basis for winning this award? It’s shady, I heard from one of my upperclassman friends. Huo Yuke, sponsor, sugar daddy, blah blah blah..."

  

  Finally, Wen Shuxian threw her ice cream cup into the trash can, and said angrily: "I can't accept this, and I'm no worse than Huo Yuke. I plan to ask the school to report it."

  

  The underclassman said, "What does it reflect? Hasn't the list not even been announced yet? What if it is fake?"

  

  Wen Shuxian: "When the official announcement is made, I will ask our dean and inquire quietly. It is better if it is fake. If it is true, I will go to the principal. I don't believe that even the principal will cover her! Can’t you also ask a well-connected teacher?"

  

  The underclassman said she thinks she has a good relationship with the teacher who is instructing the thesis. She bit her lip, and promised, "Okay."

  

  Wen Shuxian spread the news to several groups of people a day, speaking until she was hoarse. Fu Yujun has just returned, and the two met at the door of the dormitory building. Fu Yujun's attitude fell. She handed out a bottle of water: "Did everything go smoothly?"

  

  Wen Shuxian raised her head and took two sips, panting and saying, "Yeah, how about you?"

  

  Fu Yujun raised her eyebrows and exchanged a tacit smile with her.

  

  Fu Yujun has more paragraphs than Wen Shuxian. Compared with her Wen Shuxian’s exasperated and furious act, Fu Yujun is good at observing words and trends. So she only needs to beat the drum to guide her plan along. She mentioned the matter "unintentionally" offline, and the classmates who were not even on campus also "chatted" about it on WeChat. Basically no one didn't know that Huo Yuke was appointed by default.

  

  As the saying goes, three people become a tiger (let alone a real tiger!) it’s not a rumor then. Everyone believes it, and the indignation has never been higher. (T/N: 三人成虎 There is a story about an ancient Chinese king who said he would not believe it if one person said they saw a tiger.  Even if two people say they saw a tiger, he would still not believe it for certain. But if three people all say they saw it, then it must be true.  This idiom 三人成虎 means that regardless of whether something is true or false, if many many people believe it, then its credibility will not come into question. In this case, the tiger is Huo Yuke’s appointment as graduate representative.)

  

  The forum posts became popular in the evening of the second day, and the content of the comments remained similar. In the 405 dormitory, four people worked in two groups of two. Working in shifts and night battles, they kept the topic firmly within the scope they wanted.

  

  Huo Yuke and the two younger classmates with her entered the dormitory building--she didn't usually live here, but she came back to get her things. A classmate nearby who saw her walk by glanced at her from the side and snorted coldly.

  

  Huo Yuke frowned and asked the girl next to her: "Is she expressing dissatisfaction with me??"

  

  She is naturally good-looking, with well-defined features. Her nose and eyes are perfect. She is conventionally good-looking with a hint of slyness, reminiscent of a poisonous snake in a dark corner.

  

  When looking at people, keep your chin up. You don't always have to look straight at them, revealing an unpleasant self.

  

  As soon as the younger classmate saw that someone looked at Huo Yuke and snorted, she said, "They’re just jealous of you."

  

  Huo Yuke snorted: "Psychos."

  

  The little sister agreed, "Right? This kind of person is just sour all day for no reason, I don’t even acknowledge those catty people anymore."

  

  Huo Yuke didn't worry about such a small thing, and asked as she went upstairs: "Is Tang Ruoyao in school?"

  

  Younger classmate number two said gleefully: "Yup, I heard she’s so sad she can’t even eat."

  

  Huo Yuke provoked a pleasant smile at the corner of her mouth, hummed leisurely, and asked: "Huh? What's the matter? Who hurt her? Was she cheated by a scumbag?" No matter what happened, as long as Tang Ruoyao is unlucky, she is happy.

  

  The second underclassman said: "She knows that she is not the outstanding graduate representative."

  

  The first underclassman immediately flattered: "I think she is silly, an idiot. It’s just a graduate representative title. As long as we want it, isn't it easy to catch it?"

  

  Huo Yuke squinted in satisfaction.

  

  The younger classmate struck the iron while it was hot, bowed her waist slightly, and tapped Yuke playfully on her side: "Yuke, when will you take me to see the director of the drama from last time?"

  

   A trace of disgust flashed through Huo Yuke's eyes, and she said vaguely: "Soon. Wait for me to finish the graduation ceremony."

  

   The second underclassman’s eyes lit up suddenly, and she wanted to follow her. Huo Yuke interrupted her impatiently before she spoke: "Go on, I'll be fine after I get the things."

  

  The three went upstairs.

  

  Passing by the closed door of the 405 dormitory, Huo Yuke's eyes were dark, filled with poison. She stared bitterly for a while and walked away. The door of their dormitory is always open, but Huo Yuke has always been arrogant, and of course she would not say hello to them. Her two underclassmen still have to get along with their classmates, and said hello to everyone. It would be strange if they hadn’t. Someone saw them walking in the hallway, and even looked away in disgust when they saw them walking by the door.

  

  There was a strange feeling in the two underclassmen. They looked at Huo Yuke, who was striding forward, and then looked at each other.

  

  The little sister wriggled her lips and called her: "Yuke."

  

   Huo Yuke stopped abruptly, turned her head to look at her with a sullen expression, and said coldly: "Are you annoying me on purpose? Don't follow me anymore, both of you."

  

  The little sister swallowed down her words, and bit her lower lip hard.

  

   Huo Yuke noticed the girl’s discomfort and calmed down a bit, but she still held her distance. She didn't say anything to apologize, but said: "Hurry up. I’ll take the two of you to meet someone important this evening."
