Lin Qi lashed out, "Well, well! The big star’s sister, bullying people!"Chu Yan immediately targeted her. "Why does a lapdog interfere when the master speaks?" Lin Qi was furious and about to retaliate when Shen Wanqing calmly said, "This is a public school activity. No one can stop it, and no one can oppose it." She then fixed her gaze on Gu Anxi. "Wouldn’t you agree?" Both Principal Wang and Professor Bo were absent, so no one could shield Gu Anxi. Even Uncle Qin had declared that Gu Anxi had no special backing. Professor Bo was merely a somewhat wealthy doctor, insignificant compared to the Qin family. With her current status, nobody in Qing University dared to confront her! Seeing that she was being called upon, and Wang Qin was someone she intended to help, Gu Anxi stood up and said calmly, "Wherever I am, Wang Qin is also. Whoever dares to criticize Wang Qin is picking a fight with me." She turned to Shen Wanqing. "I advise you to be kind! Don’t be overly aggressive. Wang Qin hasn’t done anything to harm you; your current behavior is simply schoolyard bullying." "Really?" Shen Wanqing laughed softly. "Gu Anxi, are you suggesting that Professor Gao is condoning school violence?" Lin Qi, playing the sycophant, joined in, "Exactly." Chu Yan suddenly burst out laughing. "Constantly ’Professor Gao’ this, ’Professor Gao’ that. Shen Wanqing, is Qin Siyuan your boyfriend, or is Professor Gao your sugar daddy?" Just as she finished speaking, Professor Gao arrived at the classroom door. Hearing this, he became furious and dragged Chu Yan to his office for a stern reprimand. Chu Yan, of course, resisted, vehemently opposing campus violence. However, Professor Gao seemed blind to his bias, wholeheartedly believing the script was for the greater good and that Shen Wanqing had prioritized the big picture. Amidst this deadlock, rumors spread throughout Qing University that Gu Anxi and Shen Wanqing were facing off, all because of Wang Qin. The entire school already knew about Wang Qin’s ordeal, but airing it on the broadcast again was equivalent to inflicting a second wound. But who cared? It was all just a spectacle for them! Shen Wanqing was scheduled to broadcast the script at two in the afternoon, and everyone was betting Gu Anxi wouldn’t be able to stop her! 「At noon, on the rooftop of the Qing University library.」 Wang Qin, in her school uniform, sat in a corner. Gu Anxi sat beside her, while Chu Yan sat by himself further away. Wang Qin lowered her head, seeming somewhat lost. "Gu Anxi, I feel so powerless... After that day, I even thought about dying. I hear people gossiping about me everywhere in school, their stares so strange, as if I’m someone utterly despicable. But it wasn’t me who did anything wrong; *I* was the one who was hurt..." As she spoke, her eyes filled with confusion. Gu Anxi gently put her arm around her shoulder. "Do you trust me?" Wang Qin turned her head. Gu Anxi looked up at the gray sky. "Having nothing isn’t scary. What’s scary is having to use that nothing to fight against everything. But don’t fear..." She smiled faintly. "You have me." Wang Qin was stunned. Then, tears streamed down her cheeks, her voice choked with emotion. "Gu Anxi." Gu Anxi simply said, "I’m here." She tousled Wang Qin’s hair in the same way Bo Xichen did. "Don’t fear, not while I’m here." She stood up, at the highest point of Qing University, her white dress blowing in the wind. She looked into the distance and resolutely uttered, "Then let’s fight fire with fire!"
