From Sidekick to Bigshot

As Mo Shiyun pondered about this, the other students in the class had already gathered around Jian Yunnao. One after another, they expressed their congratulations on his recovery.

“Thank you. Thank you all for your concern,” Jian Yunnao responded.

Immediately afterward, Jian Yunnao took advantage of the large number of people gathered around him and made a serious statement. “I have seen all the posts on the internet. My sister Yiling was wrongly accused. She was trying to save me and not harm me. I hope that everyone will stop maliciously speculating about this matter. Please do not use words to hurt her.”

As Jian Yunnao said this, his heart felt bitter.

He knew that he was the one who had hurt Jian Yiling the most. It was his actions and words that had wronged her the most as well.

Jian Yunnao’s words had removed everyone’s last shred of doubt on the matter.

Previously, there were a few stubborn people that kept insisting on the possibility of falsifying the surveillance video. However, now, they had to believe in Jian Yunnao’s words. His words couldn’t be fake, could they?

“Oh, I see. This was all a misunderstanding. We’ve misunderstood Jian Yiling.”

“Yeah, that’s true. I blame the person who started to spread this rumor. The story that they had made up seemed so real. We were all deceived by them.”

“Please rest assured. We won’t make such a mistake again.”

“Yeah, I apologize for making those assumptions and believing in those rumors. When I have the chance, I will apologize to her. I hope that she won’t take offense on this matter.”

“…”

One after another, everyone expressed themselves to Jian Yunnao.

This also included Zhu Sha. Until yesterday, she had still been muttering to Mo Shiyun about Jian Yiling.

Zhu Sha liked Jian Yunnao. Due to this reason, she was willing to listen to whatever Jian Yunnao said. She wasn’t willing to miss any opportunity to gain a favorable impression in front of Jian Yunnao.

This series of events made Mo Shiyun’s feelings become even more complicated. She didn’t know how to express herself.

Jian Yunnao was adamant that Jian Yiling hadn’t pushed him. However, her mother has said that she had seen with her own eyes that Jian Yiling had pushed Jian Yunnao down the stairs.

What was this situation? Did his family demand for him to say that? Or was he spoiling Jian Yiling once again? Was he spoiling her to the point that he chose to defend her even when she pushed him down the stairs?

Mo Shiyun couldn’t understand the situation.

At the end of the last class in the morning, all of the students headed towards the cafeteria to have lunch.

Considering the state of Jian Yunnao’s hand, his classmates and friends wanted to bring him lunch from the cafeteria.

However, Jian Yunnao insisted on going to the cafeteria to eat.

The school cafeteria had become one of the few places that he could openly see his sister.

Several of Jian Yunnao’s friends accompanied him to the cafeteria. They asked him to find a spot to sit down as they queued up to buy food.

There were still plenty of empty seats in the cafeteria. However, Jian Yunnao wandered back and forth through the cafeteria for quite some time.

His goal was not to find empty seats. Instead, he was trying to find Jian Yiling.

Finally, he found the small figure of Jian Yiling in the corner of the cafeteria. She was eating lunch with her friend.

In addition to the food from the cafeteria, Jian Yiling had brought an extra lunch box with her.

Inside the pink lunchbox was the marinated beef that Jian Yiling had cooked two days ago. Back then, she had a bit of free time. And thus, the marinated beef was an extra dish for Hu Jiaojiao and Jian Yiling.

There were also two thermoses of soy milk with grains and cereals. Jian Yiling had also prepared this in advance and brought them to school. One was for her and the other was for Hu Jiaojiao.

Jian Yunnao found a spot where he could clearly see Jian Yiling. However, he decided to not be seated too close to her.

When his friends returned, he kept peeking at Jian Yiling as he ate.
