Phi-Fic Chapter 7 Campus Unrequited Love (6)
Chapter 7 Campus Unrequited Love (6)
And so, with a heart full of worries, Xia Mingwei returned to her dormitory.
The thought of Lin Zeyang asking her to pretend to be his girlfriend left her deeply troubled. The incident happened so suddenly that Xia Mingwei felt completely lost and helpless.
Logically, she should have refused without hesitation. After all, the original owner of this body was harmed by this incident, driven to jump off a building, ending her own life, which led to her own existence. She should let the two of them handle their own emotional entanglements, remaining an observer. However, Xiao Ba's words weren't without merit. This incident was a major turning point in the original owner's life, and it might be possible to use it as an opportunity to complete this mission.
A multitude of thoughts swirled in Xia Mingwei's mind. Thinking about these troubling matters, she slumped dejectedly onto her small desk and ran her fingers through her hair.
Seeing Xia Mingwei looking preoccupied, the roommates exchanged glances and made eye contact. Finally, someone gave He Youyou a push, urging her to go first.
He Youyou walked slowly to Xia Mingwei's side, gently patted Xia Mingwei's shoulder, and asked softly, "Weiwei, you seem to be in a bad mood. Is something wrong?"
After saying that, he sat down next to Xia Mingwei.
Seeing that someone had spoken up, the other roommates also gathered around to ask why.
Hearing this concerned inquiry, Xia Mingwei felt as if a cool spring had flowed through her agitated heart, instantly bringing her much comfort.
Xia Mingwei looked up at her roommates, her eyes filled with concern, and the words of complaint she wanted to say almost spilled out.
But the words were on the tip of her tongue, and she swallowed them back down.
"I..." Xia Mingwei hesitated slightly, unsure whether she should tell her roommate about it.
The group seemed to sense her predicament and comforted her, saying, "Weiwei, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Don't force yourself! We're just concerned about you; we don't necessarily want to pry into your private affairs!"
Listening to their sincere words, Xia Mingwei felt enveloped in love.
She thought about it again and realized that since Lin Zeyang had already done something so disgusting, there was absolutely no need for her to cover it up for him!
So she decided to tell him everything about how Lin Zeyang had asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend.
After listening to Xia Mingwei's long and detailed account, everyone looked at each other in disbelief, because they never expected that Lin Zeyang would ask Xia Mingwei to go out just to make such an unreasonable request.
At this moment, someone spoke up: "Weiwei, in my opinion, you don't need to pay any attention to him! Let's not even talk about the merits of him pretending to be your girlfriend; in itself, it's just making things difficult for you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, others chimed in, "That's right, that's right! I thought it was something good! I never expected it to be such a ridiculous thing!"
"How can someone like that be voted our department's male god? You can never judge a book by its cover!"
"Everyone knows that Lin Zeyang from our department and Jiang Mengyi from the art department are a couple. They stage a breakup drama every now and then. I'm so tired of hearing about it!"
"Weiwei, don't act impulsively and agree to this request! Who knows, some people who don't know the truth might come and accuse you of being a homewrecker and interfering in their relationship!"
"That analysis is correct. If you agree, Weiwei, it will truly be a case of 'three men make a tiger'! At that time, who knows how many people will want to smear you!"
"Many voices can melt metal. With so many people saying it, Weiwei, you only have one mouth, so you simply can't explain it clearly."
.....
One after another, everyone offered their suggestions and thoughts. Listening to these heartwarming words of comfort and analysis, Xia Mingwei felt that this kind of heartwarming friendship was truly wonderful. Her roommate's insightful analysis mirrored the cyberbullying the original owner ultimately suffered. Labeled as a "third party," the original owner was unable to escape the stigma and was ultimately driven to suicide.
Seeing such a wise analysis, she couldn't help but give them a thumbs up in her heart.
As the saying goes, three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang. Xia Mingwei decided that in her future missions, she would listen to the voices of the people!
After her roommates analyzed the situation and discussed it, Xia Mingwei decided to ignore these upsetting things and refuse Lin Zeyang's unreasonable request.
"If you ask me, that's more like it!" He Youyou happily pinched Xia Mingwei's cheek after hearing her decision.
"But what if Lin Zeyang keeps coming to you and asking you for this favor?" one of the roommates asked at this moment.
Xia Mingwei's heart skipped a beat. She had managed to fool Lin Zeyang by saying she needed a few days to think it over. What if he came to his senses and continued to pester her?
"To assume the worst of people's intentions"—this was the lesson Xiao Ba had taught her. Xia Mingwei's current appearance was indeed a powerful weapon. Compared to Jiang Mengyi's somewhat plain looks, the stunning Xia Mingwei was the perfect target to provoke Jiang Mengyi. It was entirely possible that Lin Zeyang wouldn't give up easily!
“Then let’s take turns keeping Weiwei company during this period of time! To prevent Lin Zeyang from coming over and harassing Weiwei with this matter!” He Youyou pondered for a while and gave her answer.
This solution was unanimously agreed upon by the others, if we ignore Xia Mingwei's protesting little hand.
He Youyou patted her little hand, "Your protest is invalid!"
Perhaps it was because Xia Mingwei's pitiful look was just too adorable, He Youyou cupped her face and couldn't help but kiss her little cheek.
Seeing her bewildered expression after being "tortured" by He Youyou, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
To be honest, this was the first time Xia Mingwei had ever experienced anything like it. Seeing such intense care and love from someone for the first time, she thought: "So this is what it feels like to be loved!"
Faced with their enthusiasm, Xia Mingwei didn't know what to say. Otherwise, wouldn't she be ungrateful?
Looking at her roommates chatting and laughing, Xia Mingwei suddenly remembered something else.
The original owner was framed and had nowhere to turn for help. On the one hand, no one stood up for her, and on the other hand, she was suffering from a lack of evidence! It seems necessary to collect some evidence that is favorable to herself when necessary.
After some thought, Xia Mingwei decided to buy a few voice recorders to keep on hand, just in case. However, she didn't expect that the little gadget would come in handy on the third day after she bought it.
