"You... you get your parents here! I want to ask them how they raised their daughter, to raise a bully!" The middle-aged woman's chest heaved with anger.

As if aware of Su Mi's family situation, the teacher could only mediate from the middle, "Su Mi is usually very well-behaved and never gets into conflicts with classmates. It must be the recent academic stress getting to her."

"What's wrong with how my parents raised their daughter? My grades are top three in the entire grade. Your daughter, as a student, doesn't study properly, spends all day engaging in toxic behavior, ostracizing classmates, and ruining others' study mentality. Could it be the apple doesn't fall far from the tree?" Su Mi's face showed disgust.

"Say that again!" The middle-aged woman raised her hand angrily to hit her, but was stopped by the teacher.

Just then, the class monitor was called over. Seeing the tense atmosphere in the office, she immediately lowered her head and walked in obediently.

"You're the class monitor, right?" The middle-aged woman glared at her sternly, "This Su Mi says my daughter wrote love letters to a delinquent. Tell me, is there such a thing?"

Liu Lin stood there with her head lowered, wringing her hands, her eyes darting around nervously.

The class monitor looked at the teacher, then at Su Mi who looked completely unconcerned. Her head sank lower and lower, and her voice became hesitant, "Liu... Liu Lin did write love letters to Qi Yuan. She... she even asked me to polish them. Everyone in our dorm knows about it."

She was just telling the truth. Besides, Liu Lin was usually cheap anyway. Last time she promised to treat her to a meal after polishing the letter, but there's been no follow-up. But Su Mi is different. As long as she gets along well with Su Mi, she won't have to worry about being bullied by Wang Zhizhi anymore.

"You..." The words the middle-aged woman was about to say got stuck in her throat. She could only turn her questioning gaze to her daughter, "What's going on?"

Hearing this, Liu Lin immediately burst into tears, "I didn't. They're all bullying me. How could I possibly write love letters to Qi Yuan?"

Seeing her daughter so aggrieved, the middle-aged woman's heart ached. She pulled her daughter's arm and turned her gaze to the teacher, "Teacher, you see it too. My daughter is being ostracized by the whole class. No wonder her grades never improve. Now we finally found the reason. If this isn't handled properly, I will definitely go to the principal!"

Su Mi almost laughed out loud, "Can't take a shit and blames the toilet. You should get your daughter some brain supplements instead of barking up the wrong tree here."

After saying that, she asked the class monitor for her phone, opened the QQ group chat for their dorm, searched for Liu Lin's messages. Nine out of ten were insinuating things about Zuo Yue.

"Teacher, look for yourself. Who is ostracizing whom? Zuo Yue just transferred here, and she's already saying she was involved with delinquents at her old school, tarnishing Zuo Yue's reputation. If Zuo Yue's grades drop because of her, it could affect her entire life!"

Taking the phone Su Mi handed over, the teacher flipped through a few messages, her expression gradually turning serious. She then passed the chat records to Liu Lin's mother.

The latter glanced at them, looked at her daughter, and still maintained a tough attitude, "My daughter was probably just telling the truth! Is this ostracism? I think it's clearly them bullying my daughter together! If you don't resolve this properly, I'll report this to the school board!"

She'd seen shameless people before, but she didn't expect shamelessness to be hereditary. Su Mi rolled her eyes, "What your daughter says is the truth? What others say is slandering her? Are you that thick-skinned? If your brain is full of shit, go to the hospital. Don't go around barking like a dog scaring people, lest others need rabies shots."

The teacher was also at a loss, seemingly surprised that the usually quiet Su Mi would say such things. Although Liu Lin's mother's words were indeed harsh, the old Su Mi wouldn't even speak loudly.

"You... you fatherless, motherless brat! The school actually produces students with no class like you. Seems the teaching quality isn't much good either!" The middle-aged woman's face flushed red with anger.

"Ding! Critical task triggered!"

Su Mi picked up a cup of water from the table and splashed it on the woman's face, "Whose family didn't tie their rope properly, letting you two mad dogs out? If the school's teaching quality is bad, just get out! What are you barking about here?"

The class monitor gasped, silently retreating to stand by the wall again. She realized Su Mi had completely snapped now.

The teacher was also startled. She wanted to reprimand Su Mi, but thinking of Su Mi's family situation, the words got stuck in her throat. She could only think that Su Mi must have been deeply hurt and was lashing out.

The middle-aged woman trembled all over with rage, water droplets sliding down her face onto her clothes.

"You dare splash water on my mom! You motherless bitch!" Liu Lin blurted out.

As soon as the words left her mouth, a cup of water was suddenly splashed on her own face.

Instantly, she saw red. She rushed forward, grabbed Su Mi's arm, and raised her hand to hit her. However, the next moment, the slap landed on her own cheek instead.

"Is this how your mother raised you? Calling people bitches at the drop of a hat. Seems like your family must be in that line of work often." Su Mi grabbed her hair and kicked her.

"Look at her! She actually dares to hit someone!" The middle-aged woman's face flushed red with anger, making a move to step forward and teach her a lesson.

The teacher could only desperately block the middle, "Please calm down first. Let's talk things over properly."

"Old and blind too? She hit me first, I was just defending myself. And you, old hag, raising your daughter like this. Why don't you go drown yourself and think about what you've done, not stand here barking like a dog scaring people." Su Mi shoved Liu Lin away.

The latter covered her face, staggering and falling against the wall, crying and looking at her mother, "Mom... I don't want to study anymore! I might as well just die!"

Hearing this, the teacher's face changed, quickly trying to dissuade her, "Liu Lin, don't do anything rash!"

"Want to die? Then let's die together! I don't want to live anyway!"

Su Mi dragged her out of the office. Liu Lin, terrified, quickly hugged the doorframe, looking at her mother in panic, "She's crazy, Mom, save me!"

"You wanted to die, right? Let's go! Die together! What's the use of just shouting slogans!" Su Mi forcefully dragged her towards the rooftop.

The teacher, frightened, rushed out to stop them. The middle-aged woman's face also changed. Both of them hurried forward to pull Su Mi back. The mother even tried to grab Su Mi's hair, but ended up getting kicked instead, falling onto the stairs.

"Mom!" Liu Lin's face turned deathly pale.

Soon, she was dragged up another floor. Other teachers came out one after another. The dean of students also arrived upon hearing the commotion, "What's going on?"

"She insulted my parents. What's the point of me living? Might as well jump off the building with her!" Su Mi struggled violently, shaking off the others.

No one expected her to be so strong. Several teachers' faces turned pale. Hearing her talk about jumping off the building, the dean's eyes widened. He quickly called for five or six teachers to barely separate the two.

"Mom!"

Liu Lin quickly hid behind her mother, staring at Su Mi with lingering fear, as if she had never seen such a mad person.

"She actually tried to make my daughter die with her! This is murder! I'm going to tell your principal!" The middle-aged woman clutched her painfully aching stomach, furious.

Not quite sure what exactly happened, the dean could only try to mediate, "Let's talk things over properly."

"She said she wanted to die herself. So what's wrong with me taking her to die together? You want to die too? Then let's all die together!"

As Su Mi said this, she walked towards the two of them. The middle-aged woman, scared, quickly hid behind the dean, angrily pointing at Su Mi and cursing, "Psycho! There's actually a psycho in the school, and you don't even manage it!"

Ignoring others trying to stop her, Su Mi grabbed Liu Lin again and dragged her towards the rooftop. The latter was so scared that tears and snot ran down her face.

After finally separating the two, the middle-aged woman quickly shielded her daughter behind her, looking at the teacher in horror, "Switch her class! Now!"

The teacher nodded, sweating profusely. Otherwise, if Liu Lin and Su Mi remained in the same class, she was afraid something truly irreversible might happen.

After understanding the situation, the dean initially wanted to lecture Su Mi. But considering her state, he could only speak to her gently, "Don't think too much. If you're unhappy about anything, tell the teacher. Liu Lin attacking your family was indeed wrong. The teacher will definitely handle it. Don't get agitated, and don't think about jumping off a building. Your grades are so good, your future is full of possibilities. Don't take a path of no return."

"My study pressure is so high every day? And I have to endure her attacks, insults, and false accusations? Then what's the point of me living? Might as well die. Maybe then my parents will come back to see me." Su Mi stood there with a look of utter despair.

As an ordinary person, acting crazy was her only way to defend her rights.

"Calm down, don't get agitated. The teacher knows about your situation." The dean quickly looked at the teacher, "Has the financial aid for impoverished students been increased for her? Also, cover her living expenses for the next month. The atmosphere in your class needs to change immediately. That Wang Zhizhi, I heard she often bullies classmates. Have a talk with them immediately. If they bully anyone again next time, expel them immediately!"

"Calm down first. Liu Lin will definitely change classes. You're so young, it's not the end of the world." The dean cautiously comforted her.

If a senior high school student jumped to their death from the school today, he, as the dean, would also be called in by the school board for questioning.

"I've been bullied by her for so long, and my friend is about to be bullied by her too. Who knows the grievances in our hearts? Anyway, I don't want to live anymore. Death would put an end to it all." Su Mi sat there with a look of utter despair.

The dean quickly fetched a glass of water and handed it to her. "Don't be so agitated. The teachers will definitely handle this matter. I'll make sure Liu Lin apologizes to you in front of everyone. Also, tell us who usually bullies you, and the teachers will deal with them seriously!"

Su Mi closed her eyes. "I'm under a lot of pressure. I need to go back and study now."

Hearing this, the dean was taken aback again, at a loss for what to do for a moment. He could only reply patiently, "You can go back now. If you're ever feeling down, remember you can talk to a teacher. If you have any difficulties, speak up. The school will definitely help you resolve them!"

Su Mi didn't say anything. She walked straight out of the office, left the administrative building, and headed to another teaching building.

"Ding! Host's luck value +200!"

People are always like this: the timid fear the aggressive, and the aggressive fear the reckless. If she hadn't snapped today, she might have been the one forced to apologize to the whole school—after all, she had no parents to back her up.

You could easily imagine how much resentment the original 'her' had bottled up, being bullied but not daring to tell her parents, ultimately choosing to end her own life in despair.

The worst that could happen was death. Why put up with the suffering? Of course she had to drag everyone down with her!

Otherwise, how would the school ever see the hardships faced by a student? In the end, it was always ordinary people without connections who suffered.

The noisy classroom suddenly fell silent as she entered. When she returned to her seat, Zuo Yue looked at her, her face full of concern, as if wanting to say something.

"Did the teacher blame you?" she asked hesitantly.

She'd heard people talking about some drama in the administrative building, saying two students from Class One were fooling around and threatening to jump off the building. It almost scared her to death. She'd gone to look for Su Mi during break and only returned after seeing her still in the teacher's office.

"Doesn't matter," Su Mi said flatly, picking up her water bottle, unscrewing the cap, and taking a big gulp.

All that talking had dried her throat out, but this wasn't her being crazy—it was about speaking up for the injustice the original girl suffered. The thought of the original host ending her life so young filled her with rage.

Look at how thick-skinned that mother and daughter were. If someone criticized her daughter, it was an insult, but if her daughter insulted others, it was just stating facts. Their brains must be full of crap, what else could it be? People like that should be shut up for good.

Senior year pressure was already insane. Grinding through practice tests every day had her on edge, and these idiots still came to deliver luck points. If she didn't shut this idiot up completely, who knew how many more people would suffer?

"Don't be angry. No matter what happens, I'll be by your side!" Zuo Yue quickly grabbed her arm, her eyes filled with worry.

Su Mi smiled but didn't say anything. It was only because the female lead was such a ray of sunshine that she could take it. If it were anyone else, being slut-shamed by Liu Lin would've crushed them long ago.

The afternoon classes proceeded as usual. However, during the evening dinner break, the school broadcast suddenly stopped, followed by a voice choked with sobs.

"I'm Liu Lin from Class One, senior year. I deeply regret my past actions of spreading rumors about my classmates. I apologize to Su Mi and Zuo Yue. I hope my classmates can forgive my immaturity. I'm sorry."

The voice echoed through every corner of the school via the broadcast. On the basketball court, Qi Yuan suddenly stopped playing, and Zhou Huai beside him pulled up his shirt to wipe his sweat, panting heavily.

"I heard Su Mi caused a huge scene in the administrative building today, even dragging that Liu Lin girl to jump off the building. Scared all the teachers into stopping her. That girl is really fierce!" one boy said incredulously.

Qi Yuan unscrewed his bottle cap, took a sip of water, and glanced toward the broadcast room, frowning slightly. "She needed to threaten to jump?"

Could anyone in Class One actually bully her?

"I heard her parents are divorced. Maybe she has some inner trauma, so she appears tough on the outside but is actually very fragile inside," Zhou Huai said, patting his chest. "If I comfort her now, maybe I can become good friends with her?"

Qi Yuan gave him a sidelong glance. "Do you have a masochistic streak?"

With that, he dribbled the ball, jumped, and shot it toward the hoop.

"What are you talking about? She only hits you, not me. Maybe I'll be the exception for her?" Zhou Huai said seriously.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but give him a look that said, "Figure it out yourself." "Go ahead. I'll burn paper money for you this time next year."

"Hahahahaha!" The others burst into laughter.

Su Mi had just finished dinner and was heading back to the classroom to study. Studying every day was giving her a headache, and she didn't know why she had to suffer like this. As she passed the basketball court, she saw a group of people playing basketball, with a crowd of girls watching and screaming.

She felt her temper rising again. If it weren't for worrying that the male lead, this idiot, would disturb the female lead's college entrance exam preparations, she would have left this world by now. She wouldn't have to stay and struggle through the exam.

The most painful phase in the world was the semester before the college entrance exam.

"Over there, over there!"

Someone with sharp eyes on the basketball court whistled loudly.

Noticing the commotion around her, Su Mi turned her head and saw a basketball thrown right in front of her. She then noticed a few boys whistling and grinning, while the male lead stood aside drinking water as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Aren't you going to offer some warmth?" the boys pushed Zhou Huai forward.

Su Mi frowned, let go of Zuo Yue's arm, and suddenly stepped forward, slapping one of the boys hard across the face. "What are you howling about in broad daylight!"

The boys who had been whistling immediately took a step back, their own faces stinging in sympathy.

She had long been fed up with these people—not studying properly, just fooling around and causing trouble. Su Mi glared coldly at the others. "Who wants to offer warmth?"

Everyone immediately looked toward Zhou Huai, who quickly shook his head. "Not me! I was just joking!"

Zuo Yue stifled a laugh and turned away. She didn't know what had happened in the morning, but rumors were spreading that Su Mi was going to jump off a building. It was utterly ridiculous.

"I don't like jokes," Su Mi said disdainfully, sweeping her gaze over the group.

Everyone immediately straightened up. "Yes, Sister Mi!"

Qi Yuan's eyebrow twitched, feeling his authority as the leader was being challenged. He glared at Su Mi displeasedly. "They're my brothers. Who are you threatening?"

Su Mi only glanced at him sideways. "What, didn't get beaten today, so you're feeling unbalanced?"

"You..." Qi Yuan's face immediately darkened.

The others quickly stepped in to hold him back. "Forget it, forget it, Brother Yuan. Our noses haven't healed yet. Don't act impulsively!"
