Rebirth to Save Myself

Ye Zhenzhen didn't dare say anything. She was actually quite familiar with Su Xia and Chen Wanying, even though Lu Lu was in the same major and class as her. However, she often worked part-time and didn't participate in club activities after class, so she felt a little uncomfortable facing Lu Lu alone.

"The teacher said we can start preparing for our graduation project now. Do you want to be in a group with me?" Lu Lu asked.

"Oh, did the teacher notify us?" Ye Zhenzhen looked blank; they were only at the beginning of their junior year.

"I asked my teacher about studying abroad before the holiday, and she told me about it. Because seniors need to think about internships, she told me to finish my graduation project first, and then I'll have to defend it," Lu Lu explained.

“Oh, that’s great! We’ll be in the same group, and it’ll be easier to communicate if we’re in the same dorm.” Ye Zhenzhen agreed without hesitation. Lu Lu was one of the top students in their major, and everyone would definitely want to work on their graduation project with her.

After the National Day holiday, when the three returned, Chen Wanying explained Chen Bei's situation with Ye Zhenzhen's consent. Su Xia immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up, shouting, "Why weren't you inviting me to this kind of event!"

"I guessed you had something on your mind, but I didn't expect it to be something like this." Lu Lu nodded and then said to Ye Zhenzhen.

"I... Wanying helped me solve it. I blocked that guy as soon as I got back, and now I'm serious about finding a boyfriend," Ye Zhenzhen said confidently.

"Block him? That's too easy on him, but it's already done, so let it go." Su Xia waved her hand. From Wan Ying's description, she was a complete green tea bitch. It was a real pity that she couldn't see it happening.

“I’ve already taught them a lesson for you guys. Soon, news will spread that they’re breaking up,” Chen Wanying said without hesitation, sitting in her chair.

"Why are you so sure?" Ye Zhenzhen didn't quite understand the reason behind this. Why would they break up after just one meal together?

“First of all, this woman is a restless person,” Su Xia said.

"Secondly, she doesn't really like Chen Bei that much; part of it is because she's disgusted by you," Chen Wanying added.

"Finally, at the very beginning, I met a truly perfect example of a boyfriend," Lulu added as a final point.

"In conclusion, this woman is dissatisfied with Chen Bei's various actions, so she complains, makes comparisons, and strongly demands that Chen Bei do the same things to soothe her wounded heart. When she doesn't get Chen Bei's response, she will be disappointed and look for someone better than Chen Bei." Chen Wanying directly summarized the three people's statements.

"Oh, I see! How come I didn't think of that!" Ye Zhenzhen slapped her forehead, realizing how silly she had been.

"It's not your fault, outsiders see things more clearly." Su Xia understood that these outsiders could see everything clearly, but Ye Zhenzhen liked Chen Bei, so she only saw Chen Bei and Xie Nan together, which is why she was sad and upset.

"In our dorm, Lu Lu and I both had things happen. I wonder if it will be your turn next," Ye Zhenzhen said bluntly.

“Then it should be my turn,” Chen Wanying and Su Xia said at the same time.

The two looked at each other and smiled. Su Xia asked Chen Wanying, "How did you know it was your turn next?"

“Zhe once said that we would get married right after graduation, so I’m starting to prepare for the wedding now. I’m planning to invite the three of you to be my bridesmaids. Would you do me the honor?” Chen Wanying said with a bright smile.

"No way, are you serious? What kind of wedding needs to be prepared two years in advance?" Ye Zhenzhen asked incredulously.

"Because we need to order a wedding dress, a toast dress, and a welcoming outfit, and we also need to have a suit made by hand for A-Zhe. In addition, both sides need to go through the procedures of giving betrothal gifts, so it takes time. It's better to start preparing earlier than to run out of time later," Chen Wanying said naturally.

"Have you booked your wedding photos yet?" Su Xia asked.

"It's settled. My dad found a studio for us, and we'll take the photos after our junior year. So, would you like to be my bridesmaids?" Chen Wanying asked.

"Clang!" the three said in unison.

"Great! I'll invite you two to choose wedding dresses then, so I can get some suggestions." Chen Wanying clapped her hands happily, then turned to Su Xia and asked, "Xiaxia, what's the matter?"

“No, I’m preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam. A professor recommended a supervisor to me, and he said he would take my class if I applied to this university,” Su Xia said calmly. Then she added, “My parents want me to see if I can go back to my hometown, where I can be closer to them.”

"That's a good thing. A good mentor can be a huge help in graduating with your master's degree." Ye Zhenzhen nodded. It's hard to find a responsible mentor.

"Yes, I'm still considering it." Su Xia nodded.

Everyone moved on from this topic, since nobody really wanted anything bad to happen. It's surprising that a post on the forum had already reached the top of the charts halfway through the third semester of university.

Let's take a closer look at what you call innocent young girls; they're actually a mix of young and old!

[Picture][Picture][Picture]

I had just returned from off-campus that day and happened to see a luxury car, so I stopped to admire it. Just then, I saw one of the girls in a certain major, touted as having pure and innocent girls who already had boyfriends right after enrollment, get out of the luxury car. The person in the back seat even handed her an envelope; judging by its thickness, they were being quite attentive! [Smirk]

First floor: I know who it is. Her boyfriend is bragging about their engagement every day.

Second floor: I know about the person upstairs too. I wonder if he knows that his girlfriend is like this behind his back, hahaha.

Third floor: Why try to be evasive? Just reveal their real names, majors, and classes directly.

Fourth floor: Dingding, she's our professional. She always acts like a pure, innocent little flower, as if someone's bullying her.

Fifth floor: [Vomiting][Vomiting]

……

On her way to class, Chen Wanying felt that everyone was secretly looking at her and pointing at her. She turned to Su Xia and asked, "Xiaxia, is there something on my face?"

Su Xia looked at Chen Wanying's face carefully for a while, then shook her head and said, "No!"

"Is my outfit weird today?" Chen Wanying asked uncertainly.

"No, this isn't a classic case of white on black." Su Xia shook her head again, then asked, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"The way people are looking at me is so strange." Chen Wanying gestured for Su Xia to look around; the way people were looking at her made her very uncomfortable.

Hearing this, Su Xia looked over as well, scanning the room. She noticed a variety of expressions on everyone's faces—some with disdain, some with disgust, and many with revulsion. Why revulsion? Su Xia looked down at herself and then at Chen Wanying. Both of them were dressed normally today, showing no signs of anything amiss. So why were those people making such expressions?

It's no wonder Chen Wanying and Su Xia looked bewildered. Chen Wanying didn't frequent the school's online forum much, so she had very few sources of information. As for Su Xia, having lived a second life, the novelty of the forum had long worn off. Plus, she spent her days attending classes, making videos, doing homework, studying for the postgraduate entrance exam, and occasionally exercising, keeping her very busy and leaving her no time to browse the forum.

Just then, Su Xia's phone beeped. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from her senior, Su Wanqing.

Su Wanqing: [Link]

Su Wanqing: Xiaxia, the picture looks like your roommate.

Su Wanqing: This matter has caused quite a stir; it's already been pinned to the top of the status bar.

Su Xia clicked the link sent by Su Wanqing and entered the Baidu Tieba page. The large, bright red text at the beginning made her frown. Scrolling down, she saw the three pictures. Chen Wanying's face was clearly displayed in the photos: one of her getting out of the back seat of a Maybach, one of her receiving an envelope from the back seat, and one of her stuffing the envelope into her bag. The accompanying text was utterly disgusting, with claims of "excellent service." These people didn't even know the cause and course of events and started making things up.

Su Xia quickly handed the phone to Chen Wanying and said to her, "Take a look at this first. Their strange looks are probably related to this."

Chen Wanying quickly scanned the screen, especially noting the photo of her getting out of the Maybach, where the license plate number, Xiang AC0101, was clearly visible. After reading the comments below, she was speechless, then said to Su Xia, "They can make this up?"

“Many people only see the pictures and don’t care about the truth behind them.” Su Xia took the phone, feeling helpless.

"Send me the link, let's go to class first." Although Chen Wanying wasn't in the mood right now, she couldn't let herself miss class, as it affected her participation grade.

Su Xia sent the link to Chen Wanying, who didn't hesitate and immediately passed it on to Lin Zhe, asking him to check if he could find out who posted it. She wouldn't let the mastermind get away with it; if it weren't for this person posting, it wouldn't have attracted everyone's attention. When he got the photos, he didn't bother to find out the truth; he just relied on his mouth and a crude, uncouth mind to concoct such an absurd post.

At this time, there was also a message in their dormitory group. Ye Zhenzhen also posted the link to the forum in the group and tagged Chen Wanying, asking her what was going on.

Chen Wanying: Can this post be deleted?

Ye Zhenzhen: You need to contact the administrator first, otherwise you don't have permission.

Chen Wanying: Who is the administrator?

Ye Zhenzhen: I don't know.

Su Xia: Let me ask my senior.

Su Xia opened her chat with Su Wanqing, which was still displaying the message Su Wanqing had just sent her. She quickly typed out a message on her phone.

Su Xia: Senior Wanqing, do you know who the administrator of our school's online forum is?

Su Wanqing: I know, it's me!

Su Xia: !!!

Su Xia: How could it be you? Senior, this is truly a case of finding a needle in a haystack!

Su Wanqing: I also took over from my senior, but I was busy with work after graduation and forgot about it. Today I remembered and went to the forum to take a look and saw that post.

Su Xia: Could you please delete this post?

Su Wanqing: Have you preserved the evidence?

Su Xia: Evidence?

Su Wanqing: You're not going to let this person who spreads rumors off so easily, are you?

Su Xia: How could that be? We need to confront this person face to face and make her clarify the facts.

Su Wanqing: Then you need to keep evidence of his spreading rumors, so that if he denies it later, you won't be stuck in a stalemate because you don't have evidence.

Su Xia: Oh right, thanks for reminding me, senior.

Su Wanqing: No problem, just keep the evidence and come back to me to delete the post.

Su Xia: [Okay]

....................................

Su Xia shared the good news in the group chat, and everyone quickly saved the post as evidence. Then, after Lin Zhe found the person, they contacted Su Wanqing to delete the post. Su Xia and Chen Wanying went straight to the school cafe after class. Ye Zhenzhen and Lu Lu, who had two fewer classes than them, were already waiting for them there. Not long after they arrived, Lin Zhe also arrived at the cafe.

A group of people gathered together, and Lin Zhe spoke first: "This post was sent from the internet cable of room 502 in your dormitory building, but I don't know exactly who posted it."

"It's okay, Zhe has done very well." Chen Wanying patted Lin Zhe's hand to comfort him.

“I think we need to understand the truth of the matter before we can go to that person to clarify things,” Lu Lu said.

“Yes, that’s right. Wanying helped me before, so I’ll help you this time too.” Ye Zhenzhen nodded and then looked at Chen Wanying.

"Speaking of which, this is a completely undeserved disaster!" Chen Wanying sighed, then said, "Last week I said my dad was coming to see me, and I was going to meet him over the weekend. I got out of that car, and the person in the car was my dad."

"What's the deal with that envelope?" Su Xia asked. The envelope was largely responsible for the misunderstanding surrounding Chen Wanying.

“My dad and A-Zhe’s dad gave me the living expenses. He thought bank transfers were troublesome, and I would have to withdraw the money myself if I needed it, so he withdrew it and gave it to me. A-Zhe’s parents knew that my dad was here on a business trip, so they asked him to bring it with him.” Chen Wanying said helplessly. As soon as she got the money, she went to find Lin Zhe. If these people followed her and filmed, they would probably say that she took the money to support Lin Zhe.

"That's right, and Yingying even came to me later to deposit the money together. The envelope is still in my dorm." Lin Zhe nodded, looking at Chen Wanying with heartache. His Yingying had really suffered because of him.

"By summarizing the poster's words, we can draw a few conclusions. First, this girl either likes Lin Zhe or confessed to him but was rejected. Second, the car is problematic because it's too expensive, leading people to suspect she's being kept. Third, the envelope looks quite thick, and the fact that your father didn't show up at all makes people think that the person being kept is someone who can't be seen in public," Lu Lu said calmly.

"Yes, I think so too. The language in the post is malicious, which shows that she is very hostile towards Wanying. The fact that she knew Wanying had a boyfriend right after the start of the semester means that she had done her research." Su Xia nodded and then added her own opinion.
