More annoying was that just as he was about to rush to stop An Yan's outrageous move, he heard the other party say: "Well, I have reported this matter, so are you going to directly tell me who spread the rumor to you, or will you explain the situation in detail when the college investigates?"

 

For a moment, he even had the thought of strangling An Yan to death.

 

Just as he was hesitating to put this idea into action, he saw An Yan hesitate for a moment and then say, "Forget it. Let’s wait until the college investigates, otherwise I’ll have to look for them one by one, which is quite troublesome."

 

For some reason, the boy was deflated when he heard these words.

 

It was at that moment that he was finally convinced of something. An Yan felt justified in what he had just done. He might even have felt that it was the only way to solve this problem.

 

As he had just said, that was what he should have done.

 

But instead of looking relieved, the boy looked even more depressed. If he knew that An Yan was such a rigid and stubborn person, he would not have talked about him behind his back.

 

He just talked about him behind his back and was reported to the college. It was a disaster for him.

 

With the official launch of the investigation in the next few days, more people had similar thoughts.  They were even more shocked and confused than the boy.

 

They had discussed some unnecessary gossip with their friends when they were bored. How could they suddenly be notified of an investigation by the college?

 

They not only received a notice of investigation from the college but also received clear criticism and education.

 

The person who criticized and educated them one by one was one of the leaders of the college. His exact words were;

 

"As students in an institution of higher learning, it is very wrong to slander students of the same school / major behind their back."

 

 

 

 

Don’t think that you have just made a trivial mistake. When your actions cause negative trouble for others, you should feel guilty for your words and deeds and bear corresponding responsibilities. "

 

"You are all adults now. If you can’t even be responsible for your words and deeds, I suggest you immediately turn on the instant error correction function of your light brain. It will point out the mistakes in your daily words and deeds at any time and help you correct these mistakes that you have been neglecting. "

…….

 Most of them became aware of their mistakes after hearing the words of admonishment and receiving the credit deduction punishment from the college.

 

However, some people still feel that they were just making a few casual remarks which didn’t cause any harm and thus, should not be so seriously criticized and punished.

 

However, whether they realized their mistakes or not, at least after this lesson, they would remember not to casually slander other students behind their backs.

 

Of course, apologies to An Yan, the student they had slandered, were also inevitable.

 

Therefore, in the past few days, An Yan had to receive several apologies from students almost every day. As long as the apologies were sincere enough, An Yan would graciously choose to forgive them.

 

Of course, there were a few students who, even after being asked to apologise, still had a very bad attitude.

 

For example, one of the students said this when apologizing, "I have been forced to come over and apologize. Are you satisfied now?"

 

An Yan replied seriously, "No, I’m very dissatisfied with your apology because I can’t hear it as an apology at all. You sound more like you’re accusing me."

 

On saying that, An Yan thought for a moment and opened his light brain. He searched for the correct meaning of the word [apology] on the virtual network and read the content to the other party, "So you see, my understanding is not wrong. Your words and attitude just now were indeed not an apology."

 

The other party never expected that An Yan would refuse to accept his apology, and made such a move. For a moment, his face turned green: "Are you… are you out of your mind?"

 

The other party paused for a moment before turning aggressive: "Isn’t it just a little bit of cleverness that made others have to come and apologize to you? I think they’re right; you’re a scheming villain! "

 

An Yan raised his eyebrows unhappily, "This student. This is the second time you’ve slandered me, and this time it’s to my face."With that,

 

An Yan skillfully made his second report, and the student standing in front of him quickly received a second penalty of deducted credits and a more serious critique and education.

 

And less than a day later, he appeared in front of An Yan for the second time and made a second positive apology.

 

This time, his attitude is quite different from the last time. As soon as he saw Anyan, he immediately owed himself. His attitude is especially sincere: "An Yan, I didn’t know how to respect my classmates before, and I did wrong things which hurt your reputation. Now I have fully realized my mistakes, and I will correct them seriously. I hope you can forgive me."

 

No matter what he thought, there was nothing to be picky about his attitude when apologising this time.

 

In addition, he had already received the punishment he deserved. An Yan nodded and said, "I feel happy that you can realize your mistake. I accept your apology now."

 

This matter naturally attracted the attention of many people since there were always people suddenly appearing in front of An Yan in the past few days and apologizing as soon as they opened their mouths. In addition, many of them were not even students of the pharmacy major.

 

With a little inquiry, they had a general understanding of the whole story.

 

The first reaction most of the students had after learning about the incident was, "Damn, how can there be such an operation?"

 

They also did not expect that An Yan would directly report the matter to the college for investigation when he heard that someone was slandering him behind his back.

 

After all, things like gossiping behind one’s back happened too often in the academy. Even when the person concerned occasionally heard other students’ comments, they could only hold their tongue.

 

Some who had tempers may have argued with them a bit, but it still didn’t solve the problem and even caused the other party to spread the rumour more aggressively.

 

This kind of problem happened more and more often, and people gradually got used to it.

 

Everyone was naturally surprised that someone suddenly reported the situation to the college instead of following the usual procedure.

 

But when you think about it, there was nothing wrong with this kind of action.

 

For one thing, it is wrong to deliberately slander one’s fellow student behind their back. Even if such a mistake is small, it should be punished accordingly.

 

On the other hand, although it was too simple and brutal, it was an effective solution to the problem.

 

They couldn’t help but admire An Yan.

 

The ability to come up with the best solution to a problem like that on the spot and put it into practice without fear was something that no ordinary person could do.

 

After thinking about this, everyone had a lot of good feelings towards An Yan, and at the same time, they also took this approach to heart. If they encountered a similar situation next time, they might really be able to apply what they had learned and solve the problem in the quickest and most effective way.

 

An Yan was unaware of his classmates’ thoughts, and if he had known, he might have felt very confused himself.

 

He was just following the rules and regulations of the college. Wasn’t that what he was supposed to do?

 

 An Yan had done what he was supposed to do, and he simply put the matter aside. But some people were getting worried.

 

The college had launched a series of investigations into the matter, and more people were discovered to have spoken out against their classmates in this incident, which meant that things were getting closer and closer to the truth.

 

There was always a source to gossip, and with this source, the rumor would spread and morph into what people think is the "truth".

 

Since the rumour about An Yan spread so quickly in the college, and even many students from other majors knew about it, one can imagine that the source of the rumour must be a person with a lot of influence, or at least a lot of influence in a certain group.

 

And that person was Zhao Xinxin.

 

When she first spread the rumour, Zhao Xinxin had already planned that she would only start the rumour and not say anything about the topic afterwards. That way, even if An Yan found out anything, the matter would never come back to her.

 

The idea was a good one, and it did even come close to being correct in similar incidents that had happened before.

 

After all, the more rumors spread, and the longer they last, the harder it is to find out the root cause. The real originator can instead hide in the depths and reap the benefits.

 

But all of this was based on the premise that An Yan, when faced with the rumour, would handle it in the same manner as similar incidents before.

 

He would either swallow his anger and do nothing, suffering from the rumours, or he would argue his case, which could further intensify the spread of the rumours and even create new ones.

 

Zhao Xinxin had investigated An Yan before, and in her opinion, a small person like An Yan, who had no background, would only have these two possible attitudes to deal with the things he encounters.

 

However, the truth was the exact opposite of what she had expected. An Yan neither held back his anger nor argued his case. He directly reported the matter to the academy!
