Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

"Are you all asleep?" Zheng Lan's words broke the silence of the night.

"No," Liu Xiu answered first.

"Let's chat for a while, I can't sleep," Hu Ning said, turning on the flashlight on his cell phone.

"You guys can't sleep either. I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep," I also said.

"Another end of semester is here, and we will go home tomorrow. This is the third winter vacation, and we only have one left!" Zheng Lan said sadly.

"Yeah, how come half of it has already passed?"

"Don't be sad, we just need to grasp the present moment," I said comfortingly.

"It's been a long time since we went from being strangers to being familiar with each other, but I feel like yesterday was the military training."

"I've forgotten how I got through these years. In the blink of an eye, we're about to graduate. Time flies so fast."

"If you are so sad, you will not be able to sleep later," I tried to change the subject and get them away from such a sad topic as graduation.

"Qing'er, you are very optimistic."

"Yes, you are the one who has changed the most. You used to be a shy and introverted girl, but now you are even more talkative than us."

Isn't this the saying "People get redder when they are around red people, and blacker when they are around black people"?

"Are you praising us or scolding us?"

"That's definitely a compliment! My good sisters!"

"But my good sisters still feel sorry that you and Rong Zixuan, that scumbag, got back together." Hey! I successfully pulled them away from the topic of graduation, but now the topic has become me.

"He's not a scumbag, is he?"

"Two-timing isn't considered scumbag! Have you been brainwashed by him or is your brain broken?"

"He did cheat on me emotionally, and in a sense he is a scumbag, but he is much better than those real scumbags who cheat on me physically and mentally and still make excuses. And he really didn't do it on purpose. He just wanted me to care about him. So it seems that he did this to make me care about him, so it's understandable."

"Look, look, now he's starting to find excuses to convince himself! But before, you didn't agree with this reason for provoking Zhu Yinyin just to get your attention!"

"That's not the case...people will change their stance in different circumstances," I answered guiltily.

"Look, I'm really afraid that you'll be brainwashed by Rong Zixuan and become a complete love-brained person, and end up being hurt by him completely."

"Lan'er, please don't curse me!"

"I'm not cursing you, but Rong Zixuan's explanation is completely untenable, and you listened to it. Moreover, the one who persuaded you to get back together was also a scumbag. Of course, scumbags speak for scumbags. You listened to this too. I really want to pour a bucket of cold water on you and wake you up!"

"I really think what Xiao Yuan said makes sense, and it's not easy to find someone who loves you and whom you love back. Couples are all imperfect, and it's normal to have flaws."

"It's normal to have flaws, but I'm very puzzled that Rong Zixuan provoked Zhu Yinyin for no reason. I wonder if he wants to benefit from both sides! If you make too much trouble, he will dump you with the excuse that you have become so strange and a shrew, and he will also get the understanding of some people. If you don't make a fuss and choose to let go, then he will give up Zhu Yinyin and come back to coax you! The prodigal son's return is a drama that is often boasted about, and you will also be morally kidnapped by the people around him. If he has turned back, you should forgive him. If you don't forgive him, it will make you look wrong. It's not good for you in any way, and the most important point is that you didn't quarrel or have any conflicts before this incident. The cause of this incident from beginning to end was the appearance of Zhu Yinyin. A person who just appeared can cause your two-year relationship to break down. This person is either Rong Zixuan's calamity or fate."

"That makes sense, but do you have any evidence? You can't try to sow discord between young lovers! And if Qing'er chooses to let go, how can you be sure Rong Zixuan will come back? What if he ends up getting together with Zhu Yinyin?"

"Rong Zixuan is not stupid. If he really gets together with Zhu Yinyin, he will really be branded as a scumbag," Hu Ning said in a hoarse voice.

"As for evidence, I really don't have any, but women's intuition is very keen!"

"But intuition cannot be used as evidence," Liu Xiu continued to ask.

"My intuition tells me that there's more to this than meets the eye! Rong Zixuan keeps saying he wants you to care about him, but there are so many ways to make you care about him, and he chose the ugliest one! Besides, men think with their lower body. It's impossible for him not to be tempted by a goddess-level woman like Zhu Yinyin! I hope you stay sober in your future relationships. I always feel like there's something strange going on here, it's very strange!"

"Hey, Xiao Yuan also said something similar. Male animals will pursue more beautiful women of the opposite sex. This is a genetic instinct."

"Why do you trust Xiao Yuan so much? He's a rich kid, and probably a pervert. How come you're still friends with him?"

"He's a rich second-generation, old and lecherous, but that has nothing to do with me! Besides, there are so many women who want to throw themselves at him, he has no intention of hitting on me. We are partners and comrades-in-arms!"

"Come on, there is no such thing as pure friendship between men and women."

"Don't disbelieve me, he only admires my ability. Besides, he has the platform and I have the ability, so it's a win-win for both of us. What's wrong with that?"

"Hey, Qing'er, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!" Liu Xiu threw me a coquettish glance.

"definitely!"

"You've gone off topic. How did Rong Zixuan become Xiao Yuan? Lan'er, you doubt Rong Zixuan's intuition, but intuition has to have a basis!" Hu Ning brought the topic back to Rong Zixuan.

"I'm not kidding. I learned this from the love experiences of my brothers. If you can finally achieve a happy ending and live happily ever after, even if I'm kidding, I still hope you can achieve a happy ending. But if you face a relationship crisis again, remember what I said today!"

"Why do you feel weird?" I asked half-believingly after hearing her words.

"We all see clearly your attitude towards Li Zhanwen and the others. Maybe from a male perspective, he finds it intolerable. But he should deal with Li Zhanwen and the others, not you! He can't achieve the goal of dealing with Li Zhanwen and the others by using Zhu Yinyin to anger you, but it can lead to a breakdown in your relationship! Moreover, he kept saying before that you are just ordinary friends, and wiping sweat and feeding are not considered intimate behaviors. Isn't it intentional? Anyone who is not a fool knows what this behavior represents between two opposite sexes. Haven't you thought that he really likes Zhu Yinyin, but wants to break up with a legitimate reason, but can't bring it up himself?"

"But later he broke off contact with Zhu Yinyin and started pursuing Qing'er again."

"That's because Liang Yan and Li Zhanwen are pursuing Qing'er. If Shen Junhui knew about your breakup, he would probably fly back from the United States."

"so what?"

"Rong Zixuan wanted to use the fact that he was with Zhu Yinyin to hurt Qing'er, so as to achieve his goal of revenge on Li Zhanwen and the others. Look, the person you love loves me, and she is sad for me now. You must be very sad! But Qing'er was very strong and didn't cry or make a fuss. She broke up rationally, which was beyond his expectation. Moreover, Liang Yan and Li Zhanwen were still attacking so fiercely. If this goes on, Qing'er will sooner or later be with one of them, and then it will only take a few minutes for her to get out of that haze. This won't do. Not only will he fail to take revenge on Li Zhanwen and the others, but he will also give them his head. That's why he made a 180-degree turn and continued to pursue Qing'er."

"Rong Zixuan is not that perverted, he likes Qing'er so much, he won't hurt Qing'er like this, right?"

"What he and Zhu Yinyin did has already hurt Qing'er, okay! And didn't that male celebrity who likes to wholesale heart-shaped stones publicly express his love for his ex before? Now that he has a goddess and a current girlfriend, isn't he still attacking his ex? So men's hearts change very quickly, and love or not is a matter of a moment."

"No, you made a very reasonable argument and scared me."

"I also hope that what I said was just speculation. I misunderstood Rong Zixuan by judging him by my own petty standards. But people's hearts are hidden, Qing'er! You can't let your guard down!"

"Ok, I know"

"Don't be critical of me. I'm just reasoning, not trying to sow discord."

"I know. I can tell whether it's good for me or not."

"Let's change the topic, otherwise it will make people panic," Hu Ning suggested changing the topic.

"Hey, have you seen the news? They said an unknown virus appeared, and it's highly contagious."

"I didn't see it, what are you talking about?"

"It means an unknown virus has appeared in Wujiang. Doctors have found no previous cases. Moreover, people who have come into contact with the patients have the same symptoms. It is highly contagious."

"This is getting more and more panicked. Just now it made Qing'er panic, and now it's us who are panicked. Let's change it," Hu Ning said with a helpless smile.

"Okay, let's talk about some entertainment news, actors..."

For some reason, my eyelids felt heavy and my mind was becoming increasingly unclear. I don’t remember what happened afterwards. When I woke up again, the alarm clock rang and I had to get up, pack up and go home.
