Chapter 108 Unexpected Obstruction
After determining the topic of the paper and going through a series of data sorting and preparatory work, Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer decided to obtain more first-hand data on the impact of virtual idols on teenagers' values through a questionnaire survey.
They carefully designed a questionnaire that covered many aspects, including teenagers' preference for virtual idols, attention span, and value perceptions.
However, just as they were about to conduct the questionnaire survey, they encountered an unexpected obstruction.
On a sunny weekend, the birds outside the window were singing and dancing happily, creating a lively scene.
However, in stark contrast to the lively scene outside, there is tension between Tong Xiaoxi, Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer. The atmosphere between them is tense and ready to explode with just the slightest touch.
In the dormitory, Tong Xiaoxi looked at Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer with resentment, and said sarcastically: "Humph, bluffing, doing these useless things, what results can you get?"
Ling Jiuer retorted: "Whether it is useful or not, you can only know it after you do it. Even if it is useless, what does it have to do with you?"
Tong Xiaoxi rolled her eyes at them and said, "You're the only ones who can do this. I'm just worried that you'll end up wasting your time and making fun of yourself."
Ling Jiuer was not convinced and immediately replied: "Tong Xiaoxi, do you think everyone is as boring and ignorant as you? Academic research, do you understand? Even if there are failures, it lays the foundation for success."
Tong Xiaoxi was stunned by the retort, and then said viciously: "Oh, academic research? Are you two qualified? You just want to show off and pretend."
Ling Jiuer showed no weakness: "You are incompetent and ignorant, and you don't allow others to pursue their own goals?"
Tong Xiaoxi snorted: "I think you just want to cling to vanity."
Ling Jiuer smiled and said, "It's better than you doing nothing, accomplishing nothing, and only being jealous of others."
Tong Xiaoxi was so angry that she couldn't speak.
After confronting Tong Xiaoxi, Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer went to the school library to distribute questionnaires and prepare for a survey. The library was originally quiet and peaceful, with sunlight shining through the windows onto the bookshelves, and the students were all reading or studying quietly.
However, Tong Xiaoxi's lingering appearance instantly broke the tranquility.
As soon as she saw someone taking the questionnaire, she rushed over like a whirlwind, snatched it away, and shouted: "Don't fill it out. I don't know what these two guys are up to. Don't be fooled." Her sharp voice echoed in the library, attracting the attention of the students around her and casting dissatisfied glances at her.
Ling Jiuer immediately fought back: "Tong Xiaoxi, stop talking nonsense here and disrupting our work."
Tong Xiaoxi replied: "I just said, what's the matter?" As she said that, she crumpled up the questionnaire she had snatched, threw it hard on the ground, and stomped on it a few times.
Ling Jiuer was so angry that her face turned blue: "You are such an unreasonable bitch, no wonder all the students in the school hate you."
Tong Xiaoxi put her hands on her hips nonchalantly and said, "Who cares about your opinions?" Then she ran to other students who were filling out questionnaires and kept pulling their arms to stop them from continuing.
Gu Fanxing hurried forward to dissuade him: "Tong Xiaoxi, don't disrupt the order of the library here."
Tong Xiaoxi became more and more arrogant. Not only did she refute loudly, she also snatched the questionnaire from Gu Fanxing's hand and tore it to pieces. The pieces of paper scattered all over the floor like snowflakes.
The librarian rushed over upon hearing the noise and severely criticized Tong Xiaoxi, but Tong Xiaoxi remained unmoved and kept muttering some unpleasant words.
In the next few days, Tong Xiaoxi was like a possessed person. Whenever Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer were distributing questionnaires, she would appear to sabotage them. Not only did she spread the word that their research was nonsense, she also deliberately scribbled on the questionnaires and even threw them into the trash can.
Ling Jiuer always found out and blamed Tong Xiaoxi: "Tong Xiaoxi, can you have a little sense of public morality? Don't you know that wasting other people's hard work will be punished by God?"
Tong Xiaoxi said stubbornly: "I am happy with it, what can you do to me?"
Ling Jiuer: "You'll know what I can do to you if you try."
Tong Xiaoxi: "Who are you trying to scare?"
Ling Jiuer: "Whether it is a scare or not, you will know when the time comes."
Tong Xiaoxi's momentum weakened a bit, but she still said stubbornly: "I'm not afraid."
"I hope you can stick to it to the end, and don't give up halfway and make people laugh." Gu Fanxing added, then threw Ling Jiuer a confident look, and the two of them smiled knowingly.
Tong Xiaoxi sneered without knowing why: "What are you laughing at? I think you just want to be in the limelight, but I won't let you do that."
Ling Jiuer immediately said, "Tong Xiaoxi, you are so dark-minded and can't stand seeing others doing well. How can you achieve anything?"
Tong Xiaoxi shouted viciously: "You two bitches, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You just want to step on me to climb up."
Ling Jiuer was so angry that her face turned red, her fists were clenched, and she couldn't help but want to rush up and attack.
Gu Fanxing quickly stopped Ling Jiuer and said, "Don't be impulsive, Jiuer."
"Have you ever heard of someone stepping on an idiot to climb up? Unless that person has shit in his brain, understand?" Ling Jiuer added fiercely.
Tong Xiaoxi was so angry that she almost died.
Gu Fanxing gave Ling Jiuer a thumbs up: her Jiuer was awesome, she could kill people and break their hearts - great.
As the days passed, Tong Xiaoxi's sabotage became more and more excessive. She even posted on the school forum to discredit Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer's research, saying that they were deliberately creating gimmicks for fame.
This caused more students to doubt and resist their questionnaire survey.
Ling Jiuer directly responded on the forum: "Tong Xiaoxi, you are making irresponsible remarks without any evidence. Be careful or we will hold you accountable."
Tong Xiaoxi: "Come on, who's afraid of who?"
Ling Jiuer: "Just wait and see."
"Xingxing, we can't go on like this. We have to ask the teacher for help." Ling Jiuer suggested.
Gu Fanxing thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, let's try to communicate with Tong Xiaoxi's parents, maybe we can get her to be more restrained."
They asked other classmates for the contact information of Tong Xiaoxi's parents and told them what happened. The parents said on the phone that they would educate Tong Xiaoxi well.
However, Tong Xiaoxi became even angrier when she learned that they had contacted her parents.
In class, the teacher was teaching seriously at the podium, and the sunlight outside the window was a little dazzling.
Not only did Tong Xiaoxi not stop the destruction, but she even intensified it and deliberately quarreled with Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer, which surprised the teachers and classmates.
"Tong Xiaoxi, how long are you going to keep making trouble?" Gu Fanxing finally couldn't help but yelled.
Tong Xiaoxi said indifferently: "I will turn the world upside down and make you never have peace."
Ling Jiuer couldn't bear it any longer and rushed forward to hit Tong Xiaoxi. Gu Fanxing and her classmates hurriedly held her back.
Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer, who could no longer bear it, reported Tong Xiaoxi's series of bad behaviors to the school and presented all the evidence. The school gave her a serious criticism and education and asked her to apologize to Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer. But Tong Xiaoxi never repented and her attitude remained tough.
In the end, Tong Xiaoxi was given a warning by the school for her stubbornness. Even so, she still did not know her fault and refused to admit it.
Although Gu Fanxing and Ling Jiuer felt helpless and angry about Tong Xiaoxi's attitude, they understood that evil deeds will eventually lead to her own destruction, and she would suffer the consequences one day, so they decided to ignore Tong Xiaoxi's interference and continue to focus on their questionnaire survey and thesis research.
