Chapter 997: Chapter 997 Reported
Before knowing Gu Xiyue, she rarely spoke to Gu Zhiqi.
She had only heard some things about Gu Zhiqi.
Until last semester, when Gu Xiyue transferred to Class 29, she became friends with Gu Xiyue, and since Gu Zhiqi repeatedly targeted Gu Xiyue, she confronted Gu Zhiqi a few times.
The impression Gu Zhiqi left her wasn’t great, to be honest, quite bad.
However, she couldn’t really say she understood Gu Zhiqi.
After hearing Lin Junya’s answer, Gu Xiyue’s expression remained unchanged, she just said, “You say you understand her, but that’s just your perceived understanding, mixed with your inherent prejudice towards her.”
Lin Junya listened and stayed silent.
Gu Xiyue: “If you doubt her, merely thinking about it in your mind is fine, but please keep your doubts to yourself, don’t voice them, because whether intentional or not, voicing your suspicion, if it spreads, it could hurt someone.”
Listening to Gu Xiyue’s words, Lin Junya was silent for several seconds, then softly said, “Yueyue, I’m sorry, I…”
Gu Xiyue shook her head and said, “You don’t need to apologize to me, after all, the person you’re doubting isn’t me.”
Lin Junya’s face reddened slightly, “Don’t worry, I won’t do it again.”
At the same time, her heart was full of confusion.
Why is Yueyue always defending Gu Zhiqi lately?
On the side, Shen Yu caught their conversation, lightly raising his eyebrow, “Brother Yue, what’s going on? Why have you been protecting Gu Zhiqi lately?”
In the past, they talked about Gu Zhiqi too.
But back then, Gu Xiyue never intervened.
Recently, however, every time Gu Zhiqi was mentioned, as soon as they say anything bad about Gu Zhiqi, Gu Xiyue would speak up to defend her.
When Lin Junya heard Shen Yu’s question, she immediately looked at Gu Xiyue, eyes clearly filled with inquiry.
Gu Xiyue moved her gaze from the book, looking at Lin Junya and Shen Yu, and said, “Gu Zhiqi is my sister, from now on, don’t speak ill of her in front of me.”
After speaking, she withdrew her gaze and continued focusing on her book.
Lin Junya and Shen Yu paused after hearing this, then exchanged a look, their eyes filled with mutual confusion.

Just as the third class ended, Gu Zhiqi planned to request leave, but just as she reached the classroom door, she saw Teacher Mo standing outside.
“Gu Zhiqi, please come to the office with me,” Teacher Mo said, gesturing for Gu Zhiqi to follow.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi held her leave request and followed Teacher Mo.
Throughout the journey, Teacher Mo’s face was not pleasant, his brows were heavy with seriousness, and once they reached a quiet area, he turned to look at Gu Zhiqi and said, “Someone reported you for cheating, the school wants to speak with you.”
Fearing Gu Zhiqi might be nervous and scared, Teacher Mo immediately comforted her, “Don’t worry, as long as you haven’t cheated, I will make sure you’re not wronged.”
If it were when Gu Zhiqi had just transferred to Class 8, Teacher Mo might have believed she cheated.
After all, at that time, he didn’t really understand Gu Zhiqi, and with those rumors, he held some prejudice against her.
Originally accepting Gu Zhiqi into Class 8 was because, as a teacher, he should teach without discrimination.
Therefore, he accepted Gu Zhiqi.
Back then, if someone said Gu Zhiqi cheated, he might not fully believe it but would have some doubts.
However, now that Gu Zhiqi has been in Class 8 for over a month, although their interactions haven’t been extensive, he trusts his judgment and believes this child wouldn’t cheat.
