“Excuse me, please…”
Lin Xinyuan weaved through the gaps in the crowd, quietly speaking to the boy right in front of her when she reached a particularly narrow opening.
The boy sounded a bit impatient at first, but then he registered her face and stood there stunned for a moment.
“Hm?”
The girl’s confused voice reached his ears, sending a tingling sensation through him before he quickly responded, “Oh… okay…”
He foolishly stepped aside, his face burning bright red.
Such a nice voice, so cute…
He summoned his courage, about to ask her name, but before he could speak, the girl had already moved a good distance away.
What a pity…
Watching the narrowing crowd ahead, the boy sighed and his earlier frustration faded.
Embarrassed, he didn’t dare to follow her.
Using her looks to her advantage, Lin Xinyuan had already pushed deep into the crowd.
She wasn’t unwilling to find another way around, but the campus was huge, and taking a detour would take a lot longer.
After thinking it over, she decided it was better to push straight through like everyone else.
She could have waited for someone to come and disperse the crowd, since this was the main path to the School South Gate and security would surely be called.
But no one knew how long that would take, and she didn’t want to wait around.
Fortunately, the crowd wasn’t too dense, and it seemed her appearance worked in her favor—people voluntarily made way for her, which made this socially anxious girl feel a bit more at ease.
She thought, maybe this was what girls called their privilege?
But if they knew her true situation, their attitude would probably be very different…
They’d probably be disgusted by her…
Lin Xinyuan was close to the center of the commotion.
Though not very tall, she could easily see inside.
At that moment, the three protagonists of the emotional dispute were speaking clearly.
“Li Tang, you disgusting woman. I treated you like my best friend, my roommate, and you stabbed me in the back? You stole my boyfriend? Let’s be honest, isn’t someone like you repulsive and malicious?”
The girl with the exquisite makeup was gritting her teeth, goading the onlookers with a sharp voice and a scornful glare fixed on the boy and girl in front of her, as if she wanted to tear them apart alive.
So familiar…
Isn’t this the girl who spoke to Qin Nanfeng after the last PE class?
Lin Xinyuan glanced to the side and saw the girl standing with a handsome stranger—her best friend.
No wonder she remembered them so clearly; both were quite striking, and there weren’t many girls in the PE class, only a dozen or so.
These two were definitely the most eye-catching…
So they didn’t attend class earlier because they were fighting?
Lin Xinyuan hadn’t expected such a close friendship last time would turn into such hostility.
She wasn’t really in the mood, but she vaguely felt this had something to do with that annoying yellow-haired guy, which piqued her interest.
She wanted to see how it all unfolded.
“That’s enough! Wu Xiaoyue, we broke up a long time ago! Why are you still causing a scene? Don’t you have any shame?” the boy next to Li Tang angrily shouted.
“So what? Stealing someone else’s boyfriend and not admitting it?”
“You…”
Before he could finish, Li Tang pulled him back, sneering, “Yan, since she’s shameless, we don’t need to give her any face either.”
“Ali, won’t this be…” Zeng Yan hesitated.
After all, this was his girlfriend of a year, and he still had feelings for her.
Before he could finish, Wu Xiaoyue’s sharp voice cut through from nearby: “Don’t call me Ali! You two are such scumbags!”
She bared her teeth like a beast ready to claw the girl beside the boy, but was held back by others, shouting curses.
Li Tang looked down on her: “Yan, you see that? She just humiliated herself.
If we don’t teach her a lesson…”
Though Li Tang didn’t finish, Zeng Yan understood.
After thinking it over, he nodded.
It wasn’t about whether he could accept it—Ali didn’t deserve to be insulted!
He had been immature before.
Finding a pretty girlfriend like Wu Xiaoyue in college seemed like a dream come true.
But it turned into a nightmare…
Not only did he have to take care of her life, but he had to pay for everything!
At first, he thought this was normal, until he talked to others in relationships who warned him she was a leech, advising him to be cautious.
He thought his care would move her, but he was wrong.
It all ended when Li Tang showed him that video.
The male lead, Zeng Yan, knew the “famous” Qin Nanfeng from school.
They were basketball friends and got along okay…
Though Qin Nanfeng rejected her—the so-called two-timing plan failed.
But was it really necessary? According to Li Tang, Wu Xiaoyue’s misdeeds went beyond that…
Zeng Yan finally found a chance to break up with Wu Xiaoyue and, within days, started dating his childhood friend who had liked him since middle school.
People say rabbits don’t eat their own burrows—after all that, the best choice was still someone close.
But on the day of the breakup, Wu Xiaoyue wasn’t nearly as hysterical as now! She must have thought she was blameless when she found out about them.
Thinking of that, Zeng Yan burned with rage—the first time he felt this disgusted by Wu Xiaoyue. “Fine!”
Li Tang obediently nodded, her eyes shining brightly.
This was the Yan she liked, not the weak one she saw after he got involved with that disgusting woman!
She turned back with a smile, a strange light flashing in her eyes aimed straight at the girl still throwing a tantrum.
Li Tang pulled out her phone, typed in her password, turned the volume all the way up, and played the past year’s footage.
“Thank you for confessing, but I’m not looking for a boyfriend right now~”
“Oh, okay… then I’ll wait!”
“……”
“I don’t have a boyfriend yet, but I might consider it!”
“Wu Xiaoyue, I’m waiting for your answer!”
“……”
“Ouch, I twisted my ankle, it hurts so much!”
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll carry you!”
“……”
“Xiaoyue, you smell so nice~”
“You’re so annoying~”
“……”
The fast-cut video synced perfectly with the voices.
Wu Xiaoyue’s flirtations with various male classmates caused a stir among the onlookers.
Wow! Wow!
So explosive! So much drama!
The crowd grew excited.
Even Lin Xinyuan, standing in the middle, was shocked—this level was way above Li Xue’er.
To openly flirt with so many boys while still officially having a boyfriend—how she hadn’t been exposed earlier was impressive…
The video wasn’t over yet.
At the end was a voice message of Wu Xiaoyue confessing.
“I adore you~ Can we be together?”
“Sorry, not interested right now.”
“……”
At first, Lin Xinyuan couldn’t quite catch it—there was some distortion and background noise.
But a bystander close enough to see Li Tang’s phone screen exclaimed, “Wow, she even tried to seduce Qin the Great Romantic!”
“Haha, Qin refused right away!”
“Pfft, anyone can tell what kind of woman she is, even Qin the Great Romantic isn’t immune!”
“Honestly, compared to Qin the Great Romantic, I respect Hai Hou more! Everyone chases Qin, but Hai Hou keeps a whole harem herself! Heh!”
“Impressive!”
“Sweet!”
“Amazing!”
“……”
Voices of gossip echoed around.
Wu Xiaoyue listened blankly, staring at everything, only snapping back after a long moment.
“Li Tang, you bitch! How dare you secretly record me! I’ll kill you!”
Wu Xiaoyue looked mad, thinking all her hard work to maintain her image was ruined—she wanted nothing more than to kill Li Tang.
That bitch, she was dead!
Summoning all her strength, she broke free from the four girls holding her and lunged straight at Li Tang.
Zeng Yan reacted quickly.
Seeing Wu Xiaoyue’s crazed state, he pulled Li Tang out of the way at the last second.
Wu Xiaoyue, completely irrational, charged into the crowd, unable to stop, heading straight for where Lin Xinyuan stood watching.
“Bang!”
The bystanders quickly scattered, but Lin Xinyuan and a girl nearby weren’t so lucky and were knocked to the ground.
“Ugh…”
It happened so suddenly, Lin Xinyuan was a bit dazed as she hit the ground.
Luckily, there was enough space around to avoid a stampede.
Still, her body ached more painfully than before after the intense physical activity…
But the incident wasn’t over yet…
