Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Master Mage_1
Qin Sisi knew that Zhou Zimeng was feeling upset, so she just stayed quietly by her side, waiting for her to calm down.
It’s good that she could cry, it’s the most terrible when a person is so desperate they don’t cry or make a fuss or say anything.
After a while, Zhou Zimeng’s crying gradually quieted down, becoming a soft sobbing.
Chen Lan saw that Zhou Zimeng was not so emotional anymore, gently pulled her from her arms and comforted her: "What happened? Can you tell me?"
Zhou Zimeng sobbed a bit, turned her head for help and looked at Qin Sisi, as if she wanted Qin Sisi to speak for her.
Qin Sisi encouraged her gently: "You better tell your story. You’ve even been through life and death, what else are you afraid of!"
Speaking of one’s pain is also a way of venting one’s emotions.
Zhou Zimeng was silent for a while, then looked up at Chen Lan with teary eyes and said softly: "Teacher Chen, the one who framed me, is Jia Xin."
Chen Lan was surprised: "Jia Xin? How could it be? Isn’t she your good friend?"
Zhou Zimeng sadly replied: "Master Mage says she also has feelings for Yang Yihang."
Chen Lan widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Qin Sisi for confirmation.
Qin Sisi nodded slightly. The memory that Ye You read from Jia Xin’s mind would not be wrong.
Chen Lan gave a bitter laugh and said sadly: "They are just teenagers, do they really know what liking someone means? Just for a man who doesn’t like her, she dares to tarnish the word friendship by hurting her best friend. This is too shameful."
Zhou Zimeng picked up the beautiful notebook in her hands, the sorrow in her heart gradually being replaced by anger. If she won’t treat me as a friend, why should I?
Chen Lan also noticed the notebook and asked curiously: "What’s this?"
Zhou Zimeng replied coldly: "This is Jia Xin’s diary, I took it from her room. Let’s see her real intention."
Qin Sisi remembered that she herself had written quite a few diaries when she was in middle school. Any matter which she dared not tell her family, she would write in her diary.
Back then, she had felt that every little thing in her life would have a great impact on her future, but years later when she opened the diary again, she could only laugh at her childishness and naivety.
Thinking of it now, probably this is a typical sensitivity that comes with puberty.
She wondered what Jia Xin had written in her diary.
Zhou Zimeng opened the diary and began to read it carefully page by page, looking for clues related to herself.
Just as Qin Sisi had said, Jia Xin was indeed secretly in love with Yang Yihang.
In a double-page spread filled with colored paper, she had drawn a big heart, filled with the words "Yang Yihang, I love you".
Meanwhile, Jia Xin also expressed her dissatisfaction with Zhou Zimeng. She believed that Zimeng, being conceited and haughty because of her beauty, was a person who underestimates others and was only a beautiful shell without any substance. Yang Yihang, her idol, deserves better than Zimeng.
Zhou Zimeng, so angry that she almost wanted to tear the diary to pieces, always thought her friendship with Jia Xin was heartfelt, but never imagined that in Jia Xin’s eyes she was such a person!
As she read on, Zhou Zimeng actually found entries about the day she died.
Jia Xin admitted her wrongdoing in the diary. She just wanted to make Yang Yihang stop liking Zhou Zimeng, but she had not expected Zhou Zimeng to be so fragile that she would choose suicide.
"I admit it, I did it wrong, I shouldn’t have used such a way to harm Zhou Zimeng, especially since we were friends.
But I didn’t expect that she would be so fragile to commit suicide over such a small matter.
As I’ve thought, she’s just a beautiful shell, lacking even the courage to withstand setbacks. Why should she deserve Yang Yihang’s love?"
Zhou Zimeng threw the diary onto the ground bitterly, and gritted her teeth and said: "Jia Xin, you framed me in front of the whole class, leading me to lose my life. You still insult me like this in your diary, I hate you!"
Chen Lan sighed, and slowly said: "Jia Xin, that girl, thin and quiet, insignificant in class, never thought she would do such a thing."
With a light glance at the diary on the ground, Qin Sisi asked Zhou Zimeng: "Now tell me, what are you planning to do?"
Zhou Zimeng took a few deep breaths and said, word by word: "First, help me clear my name; second, I want Jia Xin to experience what I have gone through, let her taste what it feels like to be wronged and unable to defend herself."
Both of these requests are reasonable, not excessive.
Qin Sisi nodded and agreed: "Alright, I’ll help you."
Zhou Zimeng looked at Qin Sisi with a grateful look, and sincerely said: "Thank you, Master Mage."
Chen Lan asked on the side: "Anything I can help with?"
Qin Sisi thought for a while and asked: "Do you have class tomorrow?"
Chen Lan replied: "Yes, the last period in the afternoon."
Qin Sisi shared a glance with Zhou Zimeng and said: "We will take action during your class period."
It was already near midnight, and the discussion was concluded.
Qin Sisi urged Chen Lan to rest in his bedroom, let Ye You place Zhou Zimeng into the portable space first, and she herself dozed a little on the sofa.
In the morning, after breakfast, Lin Shan and Chen Lan both went to work.
As Chen Lan was leaving, he gave Qin Sisi a questioning look.
Qin Sisi said: "You go ahead, I will see you when it is time for your class."
Chen Lan nodded and turned to leave.
Qin Sisi didn’t rest well the night before, so when it is quiet in the house now, she took Ye You and went to Lin Shan’s room, planning to get a good sleep.
Ye You lay down by Qin Sisi, and lightly licked the back of her hand.
Qin Sisi shyly moved her hand away and looked at Ye You with a coquettish glare, then she solemnly asked: "Are you sure about the plan this afternoon?"
Ye You chuckled and retorted: "What do you think?"
This was neither catching ghosts nor killing people, under the cover of the invisibility bubble, it was a small matter to set up someone.
Qin Sisi knew she was being needlessly cautious, and shyly scratched her head and said: "Being careful doesn’t hurt."
Ye You moved a little closer to Qin Sisi, his purple eyes gleaming like water, and he said softly: "Yes, Master Mage is right."
Zhou Zimeng started to address Qin Sisi as "Master Mage" out of respect for her abilities. Qin Sisi, finding it fun, didn’t stop her from doing so and didn’t expect this title to be teased by Ye You .
Qin Sisi retreated a bit, creating a distance from Ye You, then she pressed her lips together and said: "Stop making fun of people, you know exactly what I am capable of."
Ye You chuckled: "I really don’t know what you’re capable of, you’ve never told me."
Qin Sisi opened her mouth and failed to say anything. Ye You was actually playing with her words.
