This was the first time everyone had seen Ye Ci since the cheating scandal had blown up.
They had thought that she would not appear after she had gone to the administrative building to apply for a leave of absence. Who would have guessed that she would actually come back?
Dead silence.
A group of people had gathered at the back door of the classroom. They were all stunned and did not move for a long time.
However, their gazes all fell on Ye Ci.
Ye Ci felt as if there was a ray of light on her back, and her mind went blank for a short while.
The thing she had worried about the most had happened!
The air seemed to freeze.
Someone shouted from behind.
“Eh? Why isn’t the person in front going in? Don’t block the road!”
An unidentified person replied with, “Ye Ci is here.”
This time, even the noise in the corridor had disappeared.
Some people walked to the window, and some went to the front door.
Not only First Class, but the other classes had also heard the news and did not bother going back to their own classrooms. They had all came over.
Ye Ci finally came back to her senses. She lowered her head and quickly packed her things, ready to leave.
However, because she had moved too quickly, the zipper of her schoolbag was stuck.
The sound from outside kept entering her ears.
“Is it really Ye Ci?”
“Let me see, it seems to be her.”
“Didn’t you say that she went to the administrative building? Did she actually came to First Class?”
“She seems to be taking something. I guess she’s really going to take a break from school…”
“She still has the face to come? Is her skin really that thick!”
…
The more Ye CI heard, the more anxious she became. In the end, she exerted too much force with her hand, and with a crack, the zipper broke.
She froze.
Looking at the schoolbag that could no longer be closed properly, she felt that it was extremely ironic.
It was as if she had been desperately trying to hide those things, yet in the end, everything was still exposed.
All of her past fame, honor, and glory were now stained with dirt and had become a huge joke!
The students walked in one after another.
“Ye Ci, long time no see.”
A girl greeted her, but her smile was very subtle.
Ye Ci did not say anything. She picked up her bag and was about to leave.
“Eh? Why are you ignoring me?”
The girl pulled out her chair, but her gaze was still on Ye Ci. Her voice was neither soft nor heavy,
“No matter what, we are all classmates– Oh, I almost forgot. It shouldn’t count now, right?”
A few people beside her laughed and echoed.
“Don’t! We can’t possibly reach the level of such a ‘classmate’!”
“That’s right.”
“She’s very famous now. She’s not the same as before.”
In the announcement issued by the National Organizing Committee, it had clearly mentioned that Ye Ci, was from Yunzhou Second High School.
This could be considered to have tarnished the reputation of Second High, and it was the kind thing that everyone knew about.
The students of Second High, especially the students in First Class of the Senior Year, were mostly disgusted by this matter.
As long as one was brought out, it was very likely that they would be pulled by others and asked, “Yunzhou Second High School, First Class of the Senior Year, that Ye Ci who leaked the exam questions and cheated, is she from your class?”
Therefore, everyone was extremely displeased with Ye Ci now.
Ye Ci was so angry that her body was trembling slightly, and her face was mottled red and white.
She finally could not hold it in anymore. She raised her eyes and stared at those people. She asked coldly,
“Have you said enough?!”
This question was sharp and abrupt. The classroom fell silent.
After a moment, the girl raised her eyebrows.
“No. I haven’t even asked yet. How does it feel to be caught with a cheat sheet in the middle of a national physics competition? Anyway, the class hasn’t started yet. Ye Ci, can you tell us about it?”
Ye Ci’s lips turned pale in an instant.
Someone outside the classroom joined in the jeering and raised his voice to reply:
“Hey! Let’s talk about it first. How did you get the national final exam questions? I can’t even get the monthly exam papers, so I came specially to ask for advice! Ye Ci, be more generous and teach us too?”
As soon as these words were said, the people outside burst into laughter.
“You were really courting death! How did you dare to cheat in the monthly exam? You’re really not afraid of being heard by Old Zhang!”
“Hey, hey, hey! I was just joking, why take it so seriously? Is this something that an ordinary person can do? I don’t have that ability!”
“However, you were too showy…”
“What? I’m willing to learn, but it depends on whether Ye Ci is willing to teach or not, right?”
…
Ye Ci’s ears buzzed, and her vision went black.
The space around her seemed to be constantly contracting, making it hard for her to breathe.
As she stood there, there were clearly many people around her, but she felt terribly lonely and cold.
She had to go… ! She could not stay in this place anymore!
This was the only thought in her mind.
Without saying a word, she hugged her bag tightly and walked out.
However, there were too many people around, and it was very crowded.
In her rush, someone bumped her arm hard.
Her arms loosened, and the bag in her arms fell to the ground. The things inside also fell to the ground in an instant.
It was a mess.
…
Ye Ci really wanted to leave this place immediately and never appear in front of these people again.
A strong sense of humiliation surged into her heart, almost causing her to break down.
Everyone was looking at her.
Some were mocking, some were contemptuous, some were gloating, and some did not care at all…
Suddenly, she paused, and saw Cheng Xiangxiang standing in the crowd.
Cheng Xiangxiang exchanged a glance with her, and then quickly averted her gaze.
She did not know if it was because of guilt or something else.
After the news of Ye Ci cheating had spread on the Internet, she had not believe it at first, but after the punishment had come out, she had nothing left to say.
In fact, at that time, she had still wanted to find an opportunity to contact Ye Ci and comfort her.
But who would have known that there would be the issue of a leak later?
Her parents had gone into action together and warned her sternly not to have any more contact with Ye Ci.
She could not persuade them otherwise and had felt that what they said made sense.
Ye Ci and the Ye family were now in a quagmire.

Anyone who was involved with them could be dragged down together.
Why?
Ye Ci squatted down to pick up the things expressionlessly.
No one went up to help.
Ning Li stood behind the crowd and quietly watched this familiar scene.
Ye Ci stuffed the last book into her bag and got up to leave.
Suddenly, she seemed to feel something and raised her head to look at Ning Li.
Ning Li’s expression was indifferent and cold. The moment she met her eyes, the corners of her lips curved slightly.
…
Ye Ci left the school building in a sorry state.
She lowered her head and walked quickly to the school gate. Her footsteps were hurried.
When she passed the bulletin board, she suddenly saw a touch of red out of the corner of her eye.
She subconsciously stopped and looked over.
A bright and festive news bulletin had been posted at the center of the bulletin board.
It was the news bulletin that Ning Li had obtained the first overall score in the national competition.
There was also a photo of her on it.
Pei Song and Ren Qian had also been posted next to it.
However, her photo was still the most eye-catching.
Ye Ci stared at it intently.
However, there were people beside her who had noticed her and were pointing at her.
She took a deep breath and turned around to leave.
…
When she returned to the car, Su Yuan noticed that she did not look well and asked her a few questions with concern. However, Ye Ci did not say anything. She closed her eyes and looked listless.
That night, Ye Ci developed a high fever and was sent to the Central Hospital.
