The evening self-study class was only 40 minutes long. There were still three minutes before school ended. Han Miao let go of Li Ao’s hand and started packing up. Others were stuffing their books into their bags, but only she was stuffing her skincare products, scarves, heat packs, mirror combs, and some other nonsense into her bag.

Li Ao’s things were especially simple. He stuffed a box of brushes into his bag, threw the thermos flask in, and stuffed Han Miao’s hand into his bag.

Han Miao thought that Li Ao had accidentally taken her hand. She thought to herself that her hand was hot and the things on the table were cold. That feeling was different. How could Li Ao not know?

Han Miao glanced sideways at Li Ao and lowered her voice to remind him. “Neil, you’re mistaken. That’s my hand.”

Li Ao pressed Han Miao’s right hand into his bag and wrote on the title page of the language book with his right hand: [I want to stuff you into my bag and bring you home.]

Han Miao’s ears instantly turned red.

She looked at Li Ao with a red face and stammered. “You, you, you, you…” Han Miao suddenly retracted her hand from Li Ao’s bag and scolded in a low voice,” Shameless! Flirting wherever you want, jerk! ”

Li Ao thought that Han Miao was angry, so he carefully observed her reaction. Seeing that she didn’t look angry, he couldn’t guess what Han Miao was thinking.

Ring…

The moment the bell rang, the students stood up. The students were busy going to the toilet and rushing home.

Han Miao said to Li Ao, “Wait for me to finish school together.”

Li Ao nodded.

Han Miao got up and walked to Lin Yutian’s seat.

Lin Yutian was in first place. Her new seat was in the middle of the third row. It was a position that was convenient for her to listen to class and look at the blackboard, but not suitable for skiving.

It was a good student’s favorite position.

Lin Yutian went to the toilet on the same table as her. The seat beside her was empty. Han Miao walked up to Lin Yutian and sat down. She tapped her fingers on Lin Yutian’s table and said, “Baby Tian, come out with me. I have something to tell you.”

Lin Yutian shared her biggest secret with Han Miao. She guessed what Han Miao would say and hurriedly put down her pen and followed Han Miao out of the classroom.

Li Ao saw Han Miao carrying her bag out of the classroom. He silently got up and walked out of the classroom. He maintained a polite and safe distance and followed behind Han Miao and Lin Yutian like a knight.

There was a 10-minute break between classes. Han Miao pulled Lin Yutian quickly to the field.

At this moment, the field was dark. The distant lights shone on the field. Under the lights, a group of moths and mozzies flew around.

Li Ao stood in front of the flag-raising platform and leaned against the railing. He looked at Han Miao and Lin Yutian from afar and sensibly didn’t approach them.

After reaching a truly safe place, Han Miao released Lin Yutian and apologized. “Baby Tian, I have to apologize to you.”

Lin Yutian bit her lip, her face slightly pale.

She vaguely guessed what Han Miao had done. Her thin and delicate body started to tremble gently. Lin Yutian questioned her with a trembling voice, “You, you told someone else what I told you, right?”

Lin Yutian really trusted Han Miao and told her her biggest secret.

If Han Miao really told others this matter, Lin Yutian didn’t know what to do.

Han Miao bit her lip and said guiltily, “I’m sorry. I wanted to help you, so I revealed your matter to my sister. My sister knows hackers. I want to ask her to help hack Zhou Heng’s computer and check if Zhou Heng’s computer and cell phone have the video you mentioned.”

“Baby Tian, I’m sorry. I didn’t keep my promise.” Han Miao had long wanted to tell Lin Yutian about this, but out of shame, she didn’t have the courage to speak.

Lin Yutian was silent for a long while before asking her, “You only told your sister?”

“Mmm, I promise I’ll only tell her. Baby Tian, I’m worried about Zhou Heng. If he really holds such a video in his hand, it’s equivalent to holding a time bomb. He can destroy you with that bomb at any time!”

“I won’t allow him to do that!”

Han Miao was really concerned about Lin Yutian. That was why she desperately hoped to find that video with Han Jun’s help. It would be best if she could destroy it.

Lin Yutian was slightly angry, but she also understood that Han Miao was really concerned about her and for her own good.

Lin Yutian bit her lip tightly and asked worriedly, “Can you trust your sister? Will she spread rumors everywhere? I…” Lin Yutian was not familiar with Han Jun. In fact, Han Jun was famous for being an iceberg god. No one in school could be her friend.

There was a huge disparity between their statuses.

Lin Yutian didn’t understand Han Jun, so she was filled with doubts and distrust.

Han Miao raised her hand and swore. “I swear on my life that my sister is definitely the most trustworthy person in this world. I trust her more than anyone else.”

Lin Yutian bit her lip and relaxed slightly.

She nodded distractedly and murmured, “I hope she can help me keep my secret…”

The bell rang. Lin Yutian hurriedly pinched Han Miao’s arm and said, “I don’t blame you, Miaoyi.” With that, Lin Yutian turned and ran.

Only after receiving Lin Yutian’s understanding did Han Miao really relax.

Han Miao walked to the flag-raising platform and met Li Ao’s eyes silently for a moment before waving at him.

Li Ao strode over and walked side by side with her towards the school gate.

It was the time for the students to go home from school. There were many people on the way. Li Ao wanted to hold Han Miao’s hand, but he was afraid and held it in.

After walking down the stairs beside the basketball court, Han Miao suddenly grabbed Li Ao’s hand and said, “Neil, let’s make a promise, alright?”

Li Ao lowered his head and looked down at Han Miao, his eyes filled with questions.

He blinked his curly eyelashes and signaled Han Miao to continue.

Han Miao looked up at Li Ao’s appearance. The moonlight shone on his youthful face, making one’s heart race.

Han Miao tiptoed and kissed his cheek. The young man’s heart exploded and his face turned red.

After kissing, Han Miao grabbed Li Ao’s finger and shook it, looking uneasy.

Li Ao tilted his head, curious about what she wanted to say.

Han Miao took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said quickly, “Promise me that you will never sleep with me before we confirm our engagement!”

Li Ao blinked, then blinked again. Then, as if he had touched a piece of flint, he quickly shook off Han Miao’s hand, turned his head, and ran towards the school gate.

He looked like he was escaping a disaster.

Han Miao: “?”

What’s the matter?

Not agreeing to my suggestion?

Or was he shy?

Han Miao tightened the straps of her bag and walked towards the school gate suspiciously.

It was still a few minutes away from the school gate to the rented house. Luckily, the road was brightly lit and there were many students. It was quite safe.

Han Miao walked to a milk tea shop and instinctively wanted to turn around to buy a cup of milk tea. Just as her toes changed direction, she thought of something and hurriedly grabbed her waist.

The previous few months of losing weight were very effective. Han Miao now looked like a slender lady. She couldn’t fail at the last step!

Han Miao muttered to herself: Eat, eat, eat my ass. If you continue eating, you will become a pig!

After scolding herself twice, Han Miao was completely awake.

She turned to leave, but when she turned back, she saw a young man panting heavily behind her. The young man had obviously run crazily before. His hair that was always gently draped over his head had become messy and there was a thin layer of sweat on his brows.

He was holding a bottle of lemon C in his left hand.

Li Ao panted a few times before handing the Lemon C to Han Miao.

Han Miao took the water and asked him, “Where did you go just now?”

Li Ao was too embarrassed to tell Han Miao that he had just been agitated and had run to calm down.

Li Ao boldly grabbed Han Miao’s hand and brought her into the milk tea shop.

Han Miao grabbed him and said, “I don’t drink milk tea. I’m on a diet.”

Li Ao gestured that he wanted to drink milk tea.

Only then did Han Miao reluctantly follow Li Ao in.

Li Ao stood in front of the ordering table and tapped on the golden orange lemon.

Han Miao saw what he ordered and her mouth instantly went dry. She felt that she could drink half a glass of cold water just by opening her mouth.

There were many people buying milk tea now. The two of them waited for five minutes before getting their drinks.

After Li Ao received the golden orange lemon, he didn’t drink it.

He held the lemon water in one hand and pulled Han Miao to the wishing wall with the other.

Li Ao put down the lemon tea, released Han Miao’s hand, picked up a black pen, and wrote a sentence on a yellow post.

[Li Ao promised Han Miao that he would protect her innocence until he was 23 years old.] He carefully folded the post into the shape of a paper crane and spent 100 yuan to buy a spot from the shop owner.

Li Ao hung the paper crane on the ceiling hook of the milk tea shop.

This was an idea that the shopkeeper had come up with. As long as someone was willing to spend 100 yuan, he could get the customers to hang the paper cranes they personally folded on the ceiling and save them for 10 years.

In 10 years, customers could come and take them away at any time. 10 years later, the shop had the right to deal with these paper cranes.

Li Ao hung up the paper crane and turned to meet Han Miao’s complicated gaze.

Han Miao asked him, “When are you planning to take it away?”

Li Ao wrote on her palm: [The day we get married.]

At this moment, Han Miao felt that her palms were slightly hot.

She clenched her fists silently, wanting to hold those words tightly.

“Don’t go back on your words.”

Li Ao shook his head.

He would never go back on his words.

In the end, the golden orange lemon went into Li Ao’s stomach. Han Miao didn’t take a sip.

At the door of the house, the two of them looked at each other lovingly until Han Jun couldn’t stand it anymore. She opened the door of the house and stood by the door to ask Han Miao, “Are you planning to look at each other for the entire night?”

Li Ao and Han Miao were embarrassed at the same time. The two of them waved and returned to their home.

After entering the house, Han Jun closed the door and laughed at Han Miao. “Isn’t it just going home? You act like you’re parting forever.”

Han Miao complained. “How can you be better than me? Which idiot sat alone outside his room the night Young Master Xu recuperated?”

The stupid Han Jun stopped talking.

Yan Qingxiu was still at the research institute and had not gotten off work. Han Zheng was going to have his middle school examination in June this year and had to attend three evening self-studies this semester. There were only Han Miao and Han Jun at home.

Han Miao asked Han Jun, “Have you found the whereabouts of the matter I asked you to investigate?”

Han Jun nodded. “The video does exist.”

Han Jun pulled Han Miao into her room. She turned on her computer and said to Han Miao, “I checked it myself.”

Han Jun found the video in the hidden document. She didn’t open it and told Han Miao, “When I was searching for the document in Zhou Heng’s computer, I opened the video. I don’t think you will want to see it.”

Han Miao was so angry that her face turned green. “Zhou Heng, this dog!” Han Miao grabbed Han Jun’s arm and asked her, “Did you delete the video?”

Han Jun didn’t nod. Instead, she told Han Miao a very bad news. She said, “I found something that isn’t good for Baby Tian.”

“What did you find out?” What else did that dog Zhou Heng do?

Han Jun said, “Not only did Zhou Heng film the video, he also uploaded it to a website. This website is only open to some perverted fans.”

“The website has a membership system. One must pay 100,000 yuan for entry to the website. I found out that the website has more than 8,000 members. Zhou Heng uploaded this video. When I saw it, the video had already been played more than 1300 times…”

~Han Jun’s expression turned grave.

Han Miao suddenly stood up, kicked over the small sofa stool in Han Jun’s room, placed her hands on her hips, and scolded angrily, “This beast! Dog! Can’t you report him!”

Han Jun told her, “I’ve already reported this website to the Internet Surveillance Bureau and told my aunt about this.” Song Fei had worked in the Internet Surveillance Bureau before and was still the technical director of the Internet Surveillance Bureau.

“Now, this website has already been sealed. Several founders of the website are wanted, but Zhou Heng is just an ordinary member. Even if we find out about him, it won’t convict him.”

“Then those videos…”

Han Jun frowned and said, “Miaomiao, there’s a problem.”

Han Miao forced herself to calm down as soon as possible.

She went to the kitchen to drink a glass of ice water. When she returned to the room, she was already much calmer.

Han Miao leaned against the wall and crossed her arms. “What problem?”

Han Jun said, “If we want to convict Zhou Heng, we must hand the video that Zhou Heng shot to the person-in-charge of the Internet regulatory department. At the same time, we must find all the victims and let them testify to report Zhou Heng. But this way, we can’t hide Lin Yutian’s matter.”

After hearing Han Jun’s words, Han Miao couldn’t help being stunned. “Then… then we’ll let that grandson off just like that?”

Han Jun pondered for a moment before saying, “I think you should listen to Lin Yutian’s opinion.”

Han Jun turned off her computer and said, “I have to work. If there’s nothing else, go back to your room.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

Han Miao returned to her room. Her mind was in a mess. She didn’t know how to tell Baby Tian about this. If Baby Tian knew that her video had been posted online by Zhou Heng and seen by more than a thousand perverts, could she hold on?

Han Miao bit her fingers with her teeth. She thought that if it were her, she would send Zhou Heng to jail even if she had to fight to the death!

But she was her, and Baby Tian was Baby Tian. Baby Tian’s mental fortitude was not strong. After knowing this, she might not be able to hold on.

When one reached a desperate situation, they would either go crazy or seek death.

And Baby Tian might very likely take the latter path.

Han Miao had insomnia the entire night.

The next day, when she faced Lin Yutian, Han Miao’s eyes were flickering and she was not in the mood for class.

In the morning during the flag-raising ceremony, Lin Yutian specially stood in front of Han Miao.

After the flag-raising ceremony ended, Lin Yutian pulled Han Miao to the supermarket to buy things. She specially brought Han Miao along a slightly further path.

There was no one on that road at this time.

When they arrived, Lin Yutian asked Han Miao, “Miaoyi, why don’t you dare to look at me today?”

Han Miao knew that this matter couldn’t be hidden.

She licked her lips, feeling slightly helpless and nervous.

“Miaoyi, did your sister find out something?” Lin Yutian said to her, “Miaoyi, tell me the truth and let me be prepared.”

Han Miao hesitated before telling Lin Yutian everything that Han Jun told her last night.

When Lin Yutian found out that her video had actually been watched by more than a thousand people, her frail body swayed and she fainted. Her body fell onto the grass by the roadside.

“Baby Tian!” Han Miao hurriedly caught half of Lin Yutian’s body and carried her to the infirmary with great difficulty.

This morning and noon, Han Miao and Lin Yutian didn’t go to class or to lunch.

During the lunch break, Li Ao took two takeout orders to the infirmary.

Lin Yutian had already woken up. She didn’t say anything and just hid herself under the blanket, crying as she shivered.

Li Ao placed the takeout beside Han Miao. He didn’t ask what exactly happened to Lin Yutian. He just sent a message to Han Miao. “Meow ~ You must eat. You can’t go hungry.”

Li Ao meowed at Han Miao.

His English name was Neil and Han Miao’s English name was Miao. Meow ~

Han Miao nodded and took a few bites of the food before putting down the box. After a long time, Lin Yutian poked her head out of the blanket.

Lin Yutian looked at Han Miao with swollen eyes and said, “Miaozi, I want to transfer schools.”

Han Miao was stunned for a moment before nodding. “Alright. After you’ve transferred schools, I can visit you during the holidays.”

“… Mm.”

Transferring to a foreign city was the best ending for Lin Yutian.

Seeing that there was no one around, Han Miao said to Lin Yutian, “Baby Tian, you better speak to your mother about this.”

Lin Yutian nodded with tears in her eyes.

That afternoon, Lin Yutian applied for leave as she was feeling unwell. She went back and called her mother.

Her mother was on a work trip and was talking to someone when she received the call.

When talking to Lin Yutian, Mother Lin’s tone was not very good and was slightly anxious. “Little Tian! Why did you call me at this time? Shouldn’t you be at school? Mother has an important collaboration to discuss. Mother will tell you later.”

Lin Yutian hugged the photo her mother, grandmother, and herself tightly. She called out hoarsely, “Mother.”

Mother Lin was shocked to hear her daughter’s hoarse cry. “Baby Tian?” Mother Lin couldn’t help asking worriedly, “Baby Tian, what’s the matter?”

Lin Yutian heard a female voice calling for Supervisor Lin on the other end of the phone, urging her to go to work. Thinking of her mother’s difficulties, Lin Yutian instantly lost the courage to tell her mother the truth.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Mother, I want to transfer schools. I’m not happy in this school and am always bullied. Can you transfer schools for me?”

When Mother Lin heard this, her heart instantly ached for the child. She asked, “What happened? Did a classmate in school bully you? Is it a male or female classmate?”

“Yes… female classmate.”

Mother Lin was also someone who had attended school. She knew how serious school bullying was to a child. She knew that Lin Yutian was a sensible child. Unless she couldn’t take it anymore, she wouldn’t rashly request to transfer schools.

Mother Lin thought for a moment before saying, “If you really want to transfer schools, Mother will transfer you to Binjiang City. Your aunt is opening a beauty salon there. She has enough time and can help me take care of you. You are going to be in your third year soon and need someone to take care of your life.”

“… Okay.”

After hanging up, Lin Yutian heaved a sigh of relief.

No one would find out about this if I went to a new city.

Mother Lin was overseas on a work trip and would only return three days later. Lin Yutian only needed to grit her teeth and persevere for another week before transferring to Binjiang City to study.

The next day, Lin Yutian shared this news with Han Miao.

Although Han Miao couldn’t bear to part with her good friend, she wanted her to be safe and live in the sunlight. She respected and supported her decision.

That night, when Han Miao told Han Jun about this, Han Jun rationally and sharply came up with a cruel reality. She said, “When people are bullied, they don’t have a strong background and can only endure it. Miaomiao, not everyone is born like you and me and has the right to grow up unrestrained.”

Hearing Han Jun’s words, Han Miao’s heart sank even more. “Jun’er, you said that if Baby Tian transferred well, can she really minimize the impact of this matter?”

Han Jun looked straight at Han Miao with a grave expression. She said, “Do you know what I’m thinking?”

Han Miao shook her head.

Han Jun said, “What I’m worried about is that the user of that website might be someone who lives beside us. If that person happens to know Lin Yutian and speaks of this matter, then…”

Han Miao’s face was pale!
