Xie Ying'an jumped into the water to save Wen Shiyi, and the story got embellished on the school forum, turning it into a heroic rescue of a damsel in distress.
The most angered person had to be Huang Qianyu, who had only intended to give Wen Shiyi a small 'punishment,' but ended up failing to steal the chicken and losing the rice.
In fact, the small lake wasn't deep at all, and Huang Qianyu knew that Wen Shiyi had grown up in Jiangnan Water Town, skilled in water, how could she possibly drown?
Moreover, when 'accidentally' pushing Wen Shiyi into the water, the guilt-ridden Huang Qianyu had looked around, at least within her line of sight, there was absolutely no sign of Xie Ying'an, meaning, had she seen Xie Ying'an then, how could she possibly push Wen Shiyi into the water?
Although to Xie Ying'an, she had long lost any image of being gentle and kind, but wouldn't she still want to save face in front of the person she fancied?
