Xue Guangxi pulled down his collar, momentarily closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, his eyes were red with such murderous glare. He looked into the horizon or else he was afraid Kang Sola might get scared of his countenance at the moment if he looked at her.

In truth even if he was looking away, his aura was enough to make Kang Sola shudder with fright. But then, Kang Sola stood strong and continued pacifying him by rubbing his back.

"Calm down, Guangxi. It's not true anyway. I'll help you clear your name." She stopped rubbing his back. Instead, she wrapped her arms around him and nestled her head on his shoulder.

Xue Guangxi freed one arm from Kang Sola's hug and placed it onto the back of her head. "It's not true, Sola. It's not true."

"You have your doubts too, aren't you?" He painfully confronted her.

She bit her lower lip. "I don't think you can do it, though..."

They were engulfed in such a painful silence.

In her mind, 'I don't know... No, he couldn't have done it... He said so himself... He's not a liar...'

In his mind, 'Why am I always at the receiving end of such atrocity?!' He thought helplessly as he stared far at the horizon.

'Why always me?'

Xue Guangxi's heart had not fully recovered from the previous huge, devastating blow the past years ago...

Here comes another blow...

'Is adulting this difficult and complicated?' His dark gloomy bloodshot eyes faltered with such lack-l.u.s.ter fate.

Kang Sola started investigating. "Maybe someone wants to set you up. Do you have someone in mind who harbors enough grudge against you? Have you offended anyone?"

"I can't think of anyone. I'd like to think that I always try to be kind and friendly to everyone..."

'Unless...'

He sprung on his feet and rushed towards the exit of the lush botanical garden.

"Where are you going?" Taken aback, Kang Sola rushed after him hurriedly. "I'm going with you! Guangxi, wait!"

Both of them skipped cla.s.s.

As they spoke and went outside the university, further development worsened the situation. A censored video of a girl telling the same confession was released over the campus website. Photos of Guangxi together with a girl whose face was censored leaked at the same time. It was disseminated rapidly at a blink of an eye.

The best of friends were still unaware of it.
