Wen Xin glanced at the photo on her phone with a casual response, “Yes, it’s my boyfriend’s car. The one he used to drive me here in the afternoon wasn’t this flashy; he didn’t have time to switch cars because of the sudden incident last night.”

Addressing Zhou Xiaoxiao’s gossip, Wen Xin kindly explained the confusion on the forum about why the afternoon and evening cars were different, and suspicions that they weren’t the same person.

After hearing Wen Xin’s explanation, Zhou Xiaoxiao awkwardly put away her phone, “Um… I just wanted to remind you about the forum message… maybe you should contact the forum admin to handle it?”

“No need, I’ll do it myself.” Wen Xin sat down and opened her laptop which booted up in just five seconds.

Diwu Qixian and Zhou Xiaoxiao were surprised by the lightning-fast boot-up time of Wen Xin’s computer—something they had never seen before.

What shocked them even more was Wen Xin’s computing skills, as complex codes flashed across her screen.

In about three minutes, Wen Xin’s desktop returned to normal, and the forum interface on Zhou Xiaoxiao’s phone showed it was reloading. After reloading, all posts about Wen Xin had disappeared from the forum.

Zhou Xiaoxiao and Diwu Qixian’s mouths dropped open in disbelief, looking as though they could swallow an egg.

Wen Xin smiled slightly at their exaggerated reactions, raised her hand to adjust their jaws, picked up her change of clothes and toiletries, and nonchalantly headed to the bathroom to shower.

The second day of school…

Each department had sorted its classes, and the freshmen, led by their advisers, gathered on the Beijing University sports field.

The scorching sun beat down on the students, some of whom began to complain, but the series of speeches from the leaders on the stage continued one after the other.

Finally, it came time for the last item on the agenda—the speech from the freshman representative of Beijing University.

Before the previous night incident involving Wen Xin and Su Shan, everyone had assumed Wen Xin would undoubtedly give the freshman speech. However, after the incident, the person who appeared on the stage was Wen Huai.

This seemed to confirm people’s thoughts that the university might soon take action against Wen Xin, with the lightest punishment possibly being her expulsion.

At this point, no one was really in the mood to listen to the freshman speech on stage; they began whispering in small groups, discussing Wen Xin’s situation.

“People used to say the freshman king was powerful, but now it seems, no matter how good your grades are, if your character is bad, Beijing University won’t turn a blind eye.”

“That’s right. As flashy as her entrance into the school was, her exit will be just as disgraceful.”

“Did you hear? The incident yesterday had such a big impact that the President of Beijing University, in a fit of anger, had the forum’s admin delete all posts about Wen Xin, even the freshman king introduction posts about her.”

“It seems like Beijing University expelling Wen Xin is a foregone conclusion now.”

While everyone whispered with seeming justification, Wen Xin alone sat back lazily, shielding her head from the sun with a book, attentively listening to Wen Huai’s speech.

After Wen Huai finished, President Lu stood up to address the furor that had spread online.

“Everyone, please quiet down. I’d like to take a few minutes of your time during today’s Beijing University welcome ceremony to clarify something…”

“About the incident last night at the freshman girls’ dorm, I hope everyone here listens rationally and doesn’t cause undue harm to an innocent student.”

“The incident has been thoroughly investigated. The conflict began when Su Shan falsely accused Wen Xin in their dormitory and insulted her, prompting Wen Xin, in a moment of self-defense, to retaliate by throwing a water bottle at Su Shan.”

“After the incident, the police and the dean of the physics department intervened and took both parties to the police station.”

“I have a statement from the city bureau and the investigation results here. The official Beijing University Weibo has also posted a new tweet, which you can check for the details. It shows that Wen Xin was not at fault but was also a victim in this situation.”

“Another point is about the video that spread online, which was taken out of context and posted online by hired trolls to stir up public sentiment and slander Beijing University and Wen Xin.”

“We are also investigating the mastermind behind this incident, and we’ve made progress. The person is a student from our university, and we’ve identified her ID. We are preparing to investigate further.”

“Rest assured, Beijing University will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we let go of anyone with ulterior motives who tries to tarnish our school’s reputation.”

“That’s all I have to say about the situation with Wen Xin and Su Shan. I hope everyone here can think rationally and judge the authenticity of the situation for themselves, not to be swayed by those trolls!”

“And finally, I wish everyone success and a bright future at Beijing University!”

The video of President Lu explaining the situation was quickly uploaded to the official Beijing University Weibo, garnering many comments within moments.

Diwu Qixian and Zhou Xiaoxiao, holding their phones, were excited. They felt they finally had a chance to actively support Wen Xin.

After yesterday’s events, Wen Xin had not only Diwu Qixian as her fan but also Zhou Xiaoxiao.

With the police’s announcement, Beijing University’s president’s public explanation, and finally the unedited video of Wen Xin throwing the water bottle posted on Weibo, the online narrative shifted dramatically.

“This girl went too far, right? Framing and name-calling was bad enough, but calling her a ‘country bumpkin’? Sister’s character is actually pretty decent. If it were me, I’d have made sure her own mother couldn’t recognize her!”

“How disgusting is that? Although Sister comes from a poor rural area, she earned her place at Beijing University through her own efforts. Why bully and continuously insult her?”

“Did anyone notice how cool Sister’s actions were? Such effectiveness is really impressive!”

“Wait a minute… Doesn’t anyone else think Sister looks a bit like the genius pianist-composer WEN? What ‘country bumpkin’? She’s actually a renowned composer both domestically and internationally. The person who insulted her really needs to open their eyes!”
