Qin Churou was absent from school, and the students had ceased their idle gossip, spending their breaks immersed in study.
With less than a month remaining until the college entrance examinations, they were eager to multiply their time.
Only when in need of a mental respite would they retreat to the forum to vent their frustrations about Qin Churou before logging off.
As for Qin Churou, even when at home, she found it impossible to concentrate on her studies.
She constantly succumbed to the temptation of the forum, masochistically perusing the posts and comments directed at her.
Though she longed to confront them, she feared making an appearance.
No one on the forum defended Qin Churou; should she recklessly log in with a pseudonym, it was certain she would attract unwanted attention.
If the most popular student at H City High could uncover one of her accounts, he could easily find a second.
