03.

Su Bei. Yu Xia called my name.

I... really don't know what's going on. I also need an explanation, why is it that the cheerful song I clearly played would turn into unbearable noise halfway through? "Manager, if possible, can we check the surveillance footage?"

A simple sentence, like a dagger, stabs directly into my heart. I stand frozen in place, without any response.

Su Bei.

After much hesitation, I spoke into the microphone and said, "We are about to enter the second story. Are you all as excited as I am? But first, let's listen to a cheerful song. After the song, I will continue to bring you the second story of today."

Don't you ask me what happened? Finally, I said a word, and my throat hurts a bit.

Su Bei! What on earth is going on? Do you realize the impact this kind of thing will have on the school? Instead of staying in the broadcasting room during the radio broadcast, you insist on going out. With this kind of incident, how do you expect it to end?

I am running, trembling all over and unable to stop, with fine sweat on my forehead and palms.

Su Bei! Su Bei, what are you going to do?

I never thought things would turn out like this.

I won't believe it no matter who it is.

It was just a trip to the restroom, only a few minutes.

Monitoring? The monitoring system broke down a few days ago and still hasn't been repaired. You'd better find out who is responsible for this, otherwise... no one can guarantee your safety. The director led a group of people and left in a grand manner.

Thank you, Sheng Yino.

Is that so? Do you think that by acting so righteous, I will believe you?

I have never hated it when Yu Xia called my name before, and I have never hated his silence and unwillingness to explain like this before.

Regarding the rumors about her, I have heard too many, too many. In summary, they mostly boil down to two words: proud and domineering. She is always so proud, unwilling to let go of her own identity. She is also always so domineering, not allowing anyone to disobey her.

He probably knows everything by now!

Just as Yu Xia said, with Xu Shihan accompanying me on the radio, my days have been going pretty well. She is responsible for writing the scripts, and I am responsible for reading them. Soon, we became the best partners in the station and received several praises from the station manager.

Thank you, teacher. I understand.

He didn't answer me, he just walked towards me quietly.

When I finished reading the first draft, my stomach felt a little uncomfortable. I looked around and there was no one to take over for me. Xu Shihan was called out again to fetch some documents, so I was the only one left in the broadcasting studio.

Only Xu Shihan stood by my side after I entered, timidly calling my name: "Subei..."

Sheng Yinuo said, "Let me take you back."

But he is still willing to stand firmly by my side.

I said: "Yu Xia, I will never bother with you again."

Do you think I would believe you? Yan Anyan, if you admit it, I will admire your courage. But now, you only make me feel disgusted.

I clearly saw you there in the morning! If it's not you, then who could it be?

I walked out of the office with a dejected look. It's been less than two months since the start of the school year and I've already been disciplined. Should I admire myself?

But I know, this is all her in front of outsiders, I have seen too many times her humble tears in front of Yu Xia.

When I heard the originally cheerful music suddenly turn into an unbearable sound in the toilet, I was scared and quickly ran towards the broadcasting studio.

Su Bei, I think you should give me an explanation," the director stared at me and said.

He didn't chase after me, so I could only find a deserted corner and cry silently, feeling even more sorrowful. It's like being trapped in a quagmire, the more I struggle, the deeper I sink, and the harder it is to catch my breath.

It's none of your business. I was careless myself.I started to recall the people I saw outside the broadcasting studio today. "Besides the radio staff, did you see anyone else today?"

I clearly know that Yan Anyan is now standing with her hands crossed in front of her chest, watching a good show, but I just can't pretend to be fine in front of her.

This is not a situation where I feel sorry for her, and there is no one who feels sorry for me at this moment.

Do you believe me now? I was with Yu Xia at that time! Of course, I won't tell you what happened between us. Yan Anyan's triumphant expression made me want to tear her face apart.

However, I don't have it.

Ignoring Xu Shihan's shouting behind me, I was convinced that it was Yan Anyan who did this. Without thinking, I rushed out, completely disregarding whether I would regret it later.

Su Bei. Yu Xia grabbed my wrist and called my name again.

He crouched carefully beside me and took off his coat to put it on me. He said with some reproach, "Next time, don't run out and not answer the phone alone. I was very worried."

In Su Bei, it really wasn't her. When the incident happened, she was within my line of sight. He finally said a rather long sentence, not to help me, but for Yan Anyan.

Su Beiーー

I said the most childish thing of my life to him, the boy I like.

Not speaking? Do you think not speaking can solve the problem?

If it weren't for that incident, I might still be happily praised with Xu Shihan on the radio and wouldn't have ended up in this situation with Yu Xia.

"Yes! It must be her!" I also remembered that Yan Anyan appeared around here in the morning. When she saw me, she even gave me a cold look and almost came up to argue with me.

I finally came to my senses, shook off his hand, and asked, "Are you here to help her?"

Frame-up? Do you dare to say that you didn't go near the radio station today?

Yan Anyan took out his phone and made a brief phone call. Before long, I saw Yu Xia walking towards me against the light.

I want to ask him, is Yu Xia also worried about me? Did he also look for me? After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't bring myself to ask.

When Sheng Yino found me, my eyes were already red from crying, and my throat felt like there was a ball of cotton in it, making it difficult for me to speak.

Teacher, I'm sorry. Although I didn't play that piece of music, it was still my fault for leaving my post without permission. So, this whole thing is my mistake. What I got in return for my silence was an even greater anger from the teacher. I had no choice but to lower my head and apologize in front of the counselor, and in the end, all I got was a long sigh from him.

So, you also heard those unbearable sounds played on the radio today, right?

I stood still, unable to think through the whole situation, when I was notified by a classmate to go to the counselor's office.

I don't need to admit it if I didn't do it.

Are you here to see me or to help her with the evidence? I clearly heard trembling in my own words, and I am afraid, afraid that he will give me an answer I don't want to hear.

"Yu Xia!" I shouted, tears streaming down my face. "Are you here not to help me seek justice, but to believe that I am wrong and take me away?"

Disgusting? Subei! What qualifications do you have to say I'm disgusting! You stand by Yu Xia every day as a good friend, but show hostility towards any girl who has feelings for Yu Xia. Who is really disgusting, me or you? She shouted, "I, Yan Anyan, am not like you. I dare not say anything. I don't need to admit to things I haven't done."

Xu Shihan stood at the door of the broadcasting studio, her eyes red, waiting for me. When she saw me coming back, tears fell down and she blamed herself, saying, "I should have been by your side, then nothing would have happened. Subei, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

People have three urgent needs, and no one knows when they will come.

Why do you want to frame me? I asked straightforwardly.

Facing the teacher's anger, for a moment I didn't know what to say, silently enduring the bombardment of anger from the teacher.

Do you not admit?

I... I seem to have seen Yan Anyan before," whispered Xu Shihan.

Have you heard? So what? Are you trying to tell me that those things were deliberately released by me to frame you? There was always a hint of a cold smile on her face. "Subei, I'm not as low as you think."

I really want to smile at her, comfort her a little, but I can't force a smile.

There are probably too many people who find you unpleasant, just like me.

It must be her!

In my mind, a train is rumbling along. I know the answer, but I want to escape and not listen. However, my feet seem to be nailed to the ground and I can't move. I can only watch as it gets closer and closer...

Looking at me, who was extremely angry, Yan Anyan suddenly laughed and said, "Subei, I think I need to find a witness who can convince you to testify for myself."

When you want to say it, you will naturally tell me, I don't need to ask. Sheng Yino helped me up, "Subei, all I want is for you to remember that no matter what happens, I will always stand by your side."

I have been there, so what?

Even if I am wrong in this matter, I still hope that in the moment he appears, he will be on my side, just for that moment.

What are you talking about? Sunbei, although we have had our differences, it does not mean that you can slander me without any evidence. I have no reason to stand here and listen to your baseless accusations. I'm going back to the dormitory to take a shower," Yan Anyan glared at me and said.

However, he did not.

He said: "Subei, the whole school has heard about it. It cannot be concealed. If the school decides to discipline you, then I can't help either."

He didn't answer, just looked at me again and shouted my name.

He said: "Let's go back to Subei!"

When I found Yan Anyan, she was dancing with a group of cheerleaders on the basketball court. When she heard me calling her name, she was momentarily stunned, then clapped her hands to dismiss everyone and stood in place, waiting for me to come over and find her.

"Oh, you look like you're here to fight me?" Yan Anyan said with a sneer.

That day was no different from usual. I was reading the article that Xu Shihan had given me. The content was very relaxed, and I was particularly happy while reading it.

As I gasped for breath and returned to the broadcasting studio, it was already in chaos. Several administrators of the radio station were standing there sweating profusely, staring at me with anger in their eyes.

Originally, the person she mentioned who was convincing enough for me turned out to be him.

Currently, I am buried in sadness. I hope that the boy in front of me can always stand by my side, shielding me from the wind and rain, instead of helping others and pulling me along like he is doing now.
