Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Lanxu asked teasingly, “What happened? Could it be that you didn’t get the charcoal-grilled lamb chop?”
“No,” Mo Zhiyun said as she brought her phone. She opened the university forum and handed her phone to Xu Youyou as she said, “Youyou, look…”
Xu Youyou took the phone and looked down. Her expression froze immediately.
Seeing that Xu Youyou’s expression was not right, Su Lanxu immediately brought her phone out to check the university forum. She immediately saw the shocking and eye-catching caption at the top of the forum.
‘[Explosive News] Mo City University’s Rising Star, Xu Youyou, Has a Bitter Past No One Knows About! She Attempted Suicide in the Past!’
!!
The post detailed Xu Youyou being sent to the countryside not long after she was born. It also spoke of the rumors that Xu Youyou was a freak. It was said that as a result, she was locked up at home when she was just a few years old, prohibited from going out. When she returned to Mo City, she was bullied by others. Since she was weak and timid, she was bullied even more.
More outrageously, the poster even said he had a photo of Xu Youyou from that time. The poster even said that if he had 10,000 comments, he or she would post the photo immediately.
The post was very detailed.
Most of the commenters criticized the poster and condemned the poster as a bully. They called the poster shameless for trying to post the photo as well.
However, there were a number of people who urged the poster to upload the photo. There were also quite a few hate comments.
Mo Zhiyun looked at Xu Youyou worriedly and asked, “Youyou, is this true?”
“How’s that possible?!” Su Lanxu denied it immediately as she said angrily, “It’s a rumor! How could the moderator of the forum allow this to be posted?!”
Blood had drained from Xu Youyou’s face at this moment; her face was pale. Her eyes were fixed on the phone. She read the post word by word, digesting them. At this moment, she could not see nor hear anything; she could only see the post in front of her eyes. She bit her lower lip so hard that it was bleeding, but it seemed like she did not feel the pain at all.
Su Lanxu and Mo Zhiyun exchanged a look, looking worried.
“Youyou, are you okay? Say something…”
“Youyou, it’s just nonsense! We won’t believe it…”
“Youyou…”
Xu Youyou felt her brain buzzing. Her head suddenly felt very painful. Her vision grew blurry as chaotic images from the past swept into her brain like a tide. She was almost overwhelmed by the images.
Bang!
The phone fell on the table.
Xu Youyou lowered her gaze and did not look at anyone. She rose to her feet and turned around to leave.
Mo Zhiyun reached out to grab her and asked, “Youyou, where are you going?”
Xu Youyou’s head was still lowered. She did not look at Mo Zhiyun. Her voice was so hoarse and inaudible that it sounded as though she had been wandering the desert for a long time and had not any water to drink as she said, “I, I want to be alone. Don’t mind me.”
Xu Youyou pried Mo Zhiyun’s hand away. She ignored the strange gazes in the surroundings as she hurried away.
“Youyou…” Mo Zhiyin called out, intending to chase after her.
Su Lanxu stopped Mo Zhiyun immediately. “Let her calm down. She needs alone time.”
Su Lanxu knew Xu Youyou longer than Mo Zhiyun did, after all. She naturally knew Xu Youyou better.
“Then, what should we do now?” Mo Zhiyin asked. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with worry. She said, “Why don’t I call my brother and tell him about this? My brother will definitely be able to solve this matter!”
“Don’t tell Mo Shenbai first,” Su Lanxu said. She was worried Xu Youyou might not want Mo Shenbai to know about this. There was a chance that Xu Youyou might feel even worse if Mo Shenbai found out about it.
“Then, what should we do?” Mo Zhiyun asked anxiously, “The post… Could it be…”
Mo Zhiyun did not continue her words.
Su Lanxu did not answer Mo Zhiyun. She said, “I’ve already sent an email to the moderator, asking for the deletion of that post. However, I’ve yet to receive a reply.” After a moment, as though she thought of something, she looked at Mo Zhiyun and said, “Aren’t you an IT student? You should be able to delete the post, right?”
Mo Zhiyun regained her senses and quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, I can delete the post! However, the computer lab is closed today, and I didn’t bring my laptop!”
Su Lanxu decisively abandoned the charcoal-grilled lamb chops that she fought so hard to obtain. She rose to her feet and said, “Let’s go to the Internet cafe.”
…
Mo Zhiyun had never been to an Internet cafe before.
There were many students smoking and cursing as they played games.
Su Lanxu did not seem surprised by this. She quickly opened a private room so they did not have to breathe the foul air outside.
Mo Zhiyun turned the computer on and quickly logged into the university forum. Her fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard as she worked to remove the post from the forum.
Su Lanxu sat at the side. She could not understand what Mo Zhiyun was doing at all. She stewed in her anxiety. After a moment, she hesitated before she finally opened her WeChat and sent a message to Xu Jialu.
…
After Xu Youyou left the cafeteria, she continued running in a daze. She ran until her heart felt like it was about to explode before she stopped. She felt like her world was spinning. The dizziness made her feel nauseous.
She supported herself against the willow tree at the side of the road. She retched for a long time, but nothing came out.
Her head hurt; she felt like she was going to explode.
She did not want to return to Moon Pavilion nor did she want to go back to the Xu family house. She could not look for her grandmother in the hospital. She had nowhere to go.
There were many students milling around in the surroundings since it was lunchtime.
Xu Youyou felt like everyone was looking at her with inquisitive, mocking, and contemptuous gazes.
Xu Youyou sniffed before she straightened her back. She walked out of the university in a trance.
When she saw a cab, she quickly hailed it and got into it.
“Miss, where are you going?” the driver asked a few times.
Xu Youyou looked at the driver in a daze before she forced an unsightly smile on her face and said, “I don’t know.”
The driver turned to look at her and said, “Miss, did you break up with someone? Do you want to call your friend to pick you up?”
Xu Youyou lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. After a while, she gave an address with great difficulty.
The driver did not speak again. He started his engine and sped away.
…
Xu Jialu did not go out for lunch. Instead, he went to the company’s cafeteria.
When the aunt working in the cafeteria saw how good-looking Xu Jialu was, she gave him the biggest piece of meat.
Xu Jialu saw his subordinates and joined their table. As soon as he sat down, he heard them sigh and complain.
“It’s really sad to compare. Look, Brother Lu always gets the biggest piece of meat.”
Xu Jialu smirked. “Who asked all of you to look so ugly? If you were half as good-looking as I am, you wouldn’t be single until now.”
“…”
‘Brother Lu is really ruthless with his words…’
Xu Jialu ate rather quickly. He still had to work hard for the capitalist in the afternoon, after all. He had just taken two bites when his phone suddenly vibrated. He glanced at the notification and saw a message from ‘Crazy Woman’.
He frowned slightly. ‘Why did she suddenly send me a message?’
The person next to Xu Jialu said teasingly, “Brother Lu, your luck with women is really good. Seeing that the message came at this time… Which department is this woman who wants to chase you from?”
“Get lost,” Xu Jialu said before he opened the message to have a look. He froze soon after and quickly called Xu Youyou.
