Rebirth to Save Myself

When Su Xia first started school, she would often call Chen Yuan to ask about her recent situation. Later, as Chen Yuan integrated into her dormitory and class, and with more and more activities, the two of them no longer chatted every day as before.

That day, Chen Yuan suddenly called Su Xia. Before Su Xia could even answer the phone, Chen Yuan started crying on the other end. Between sobs, she said, "Xiaxia, that bastard Chen Wenwei! He's been seeing other girls behind my back, and he's laughing so happily with them, waaaaah!"

“Yuanyuan, calm down and tell me from the beginning.”

"Waaah, waaah, Chen Wenwei said he was busy with the Christmas party and didn't have time to spend with me. You know, he joined the student council, and the president wants to groom him for the next term, so I understand he's busy. But when I went to see him today, I found him chatting and laughing with a girl. Everyone says that girl likes Chen Wenwei."

"Hmm, but it didn't say that Chen Wenwei likes that woman?"

“I followed them and saw the woman feeding Chen Wenwei, and he didn’t refuse. He even gave her his gloves. Doesn’t that prove anything?”

"Have you confirmed this with Chen Wenwei?"

"There's no need for confirmation; my eyes are the proof."

Upon hearing this, Su Xia frowned and rubbed her forehead. She checked the time; it was Friday, and the last class had already ended. Then she opened her phone's ticketing interface, ordered a high-speed train ticket, and said to Chen Yuan on the other end of the phone, "I'll arrive in about five hours. Remember to take me out for dinner."

"Huh? What? Hello, Xiaxia, hello?" Chen Yuan stared blankly at the phone in her hand. Did Su Xia just say what she understood to mean?

Su Xia rushed back to her dormitory, quickly packed her things, and then immediately headed to the train station, just in time to get her ticket checked and enter the station.

White tea, pure joy, nothing else matters: Xiaxia, you're not coming to my school, are you?

Coffee to keep you going: [Image]

Coffee to keep me going: I'm on board.

White tea, simple pleasures, nothing else matters: [Shocking]

White tea, pure joy, nothing else matters: No, I didn't mean for you to come, I just...

Coffee to keep you going: Waiting

White tea, simple pleasures, nothing else matters: Oh

Chen Yuan put down her phone, a wave of emotion washing over her. Even though she and Xia Xia weren't in the same city or the same university, Xia Xia had still rushed over without hesitation after learning about her situation. Xia Xia had repeatedly told her not to think that being in a relationship meant everything, that there were many other things to do besides dating.

Chen Yuan gradually let go of her resentment. Perhaps it was because she had just separated from Su Xia that she was reluctant to let go of Chen Wenwei, a familiar figure, which was why she had focused all her attention on him. But upon reflection, she wondered if she had been too focused on being with Chen Wenwei, causing her to neglect Xia Xia, her roommates, and her classmates.

Perhaps everyone experiences moments of confusion. No matter how intelligent or insightful you are before, you can still be blinded by reality when faced with the truth. Chen Yuan grew up with Chen Wenwei and naturally became his girlfriend. Her parents were loving and kind to her, and Su Xia treated her like a younger sister, so Chen Yuan experienced few setbacks. Her problems were mostly emotional, leading to a comfortable life but also a lack of clear goals.

Su Xia took a high-speed train for more than four hours to reach Nankai University. As soon as she met Chen Yuan, she said to her directly, "I'm hungry."

"Let's go eat. The cafeteria we went to last summer was pretty good."

"Uh-huh."

Chen Wenwei had come to eat with his classmates from the student council, but when he saw Su Xia next to Chen Yuan, he couldn't believe it for a moment. It was a simple Friday, and Su Xia's presence at this time meant that Chen Yuan must have something on her mind. Thinking about how he had neglected Chen Yuan a bit lately because of the student council, Chen Wenwei told his companions, "You guys go ahead and eat. We'll meet in the office later."

"Wow, Wenwei's going to be with his girlfriend!"

"How thoughtful!"

Chen Wenwei smiled at everyone, then walked towards Chen Yuan, looked at Su Xia and said, "It really is you. I thought I was seeing things."

"Yes, it's the weekend, so I came over." Su Xia showed no sign of anything amiss and greeted Chen Wenwei normally.

"Yuanyuan, why didn't you tell me Su Xia was coming? I could have at least made time to entertain her." Chen Wenwei sat down next to Chen Yuan naturally, looking at her with a seemingly reproachful expression.

"Even if I told you, you wouldn't have time," Chen Yuan muttered softly.

"What?" Chen Wenwei didn't hear clearly and asked again.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Su Xia picked up the conversation and asked Chen Wenwei.

"Yes, I ordered, but it's not ready yet," Chen Wenwei said, pointing to a certain window.

"So, do you still have to go to work after you finish eating?" Su Xia asked casually.

"I still need to finish up, but it'll be done soon, next week." Chen Wenwei nodded, then said to Chen Yuan, "Sorry, Yuanyuan. I still need to take care of things. Would you like to have dinner with your roommates for a while?"

"Whatever." Chen Yuan focused on eating, as if the food was delicious.

Seeing that Chen Yuan seemed uninterested, Chen Wenwei looked at Su Xia with his eyes and asked: What's wrong with her?

"Your student council is busy with things, can we two bystanders be here?" Su Xia ignored Chen Wenwei's gaze and asked him.

"It's not impossible. Senior often brings his girlfriend to the event. As long as you guys don't cause trouble," Chen Wenwei said after thinking for a moment.

“OK, then we’ll go with you later.” Su Xia said and continued eating.

When the three arrived at the office, everyone was surprised. Then a girl walked over and asked, "Wenwei, what's this?"

"Hello, I'm Chen Wenwei's friend, and this is Chen Wenwei's girlfriend, you should know her, right?" Su Xia replied directly before Chen Wenwei could speak.

"Ah, hello, my name is Lin Tingting." The girl extended her hand, acting like a proper hostess.

"Hello!" Su Xia replied, but didn't extend her hand because Chen Yuan tugged at her sleeve from behind. Then Su Xia said to Chen Wenwei, "You go ahead and do your work, we'll wait in the audience seats."

"Okay." Chen Wenwei nodded.

"Wenwei, it seems like your friends don't really like me," Lin Tingting said, looking at Chen Wenwei with a hint of grievance.

Who likes it?

"Yuanyuan, didn't you say you were going to recommend some clothes to me? Let's go over there and take a look." Su Xia stopped Chen Yuan from speaking, then glanced at Lin Tingting, thinking, "She's just a low-level green tea b*tch."

Watching the two walk to their seats in the audience, Chen Wenwei didn't say anything, but turned to everyone and said, "Let's get started!"

Lin Tingting glared at Chen Wenwei's retreating figure, then turned back to look at Su Xia and Chen Yuan. Su Xia waved at her and smiled. That smile was extremely irritating, making one want to rush up and tear her face apart.

"Tingting, is she here to assert her dominance?" Lin Tingting's friend whispered. Everyone around Lin Tingting knew that she liked Chen Wenwei, so they were consciously trying to bring them together, but unfortunately, Chen Wenwei already had a girlfriend.

"Who cares who she is? You can't control the world or a person's heart." Lin Tingting was determined to have Chen Wenwei. She knew that Chen Yuan couldn't beat her, and this helper she brought over would definitely not be able to beat her either.

Su Xia sat in the audience, seemingly playing on her phone, but actually observing the interaction between Chen Wenwei and Lin Tingting. Chen Yuan, watching from the side, was furious and said to Su Xia, "It's her! She clearly knows I'm Wenwei's girlfriend, but she keeps trying to get close to me. I came before, but she told me I was an unrelated person. I couldn't stand that, so I stopped coming."

"Hmm, that's a pretty low-level tactic. Did you tell Chen Wenwei about this?"

"No, he's always busy. He's in class during the day and working at night, so he doesn't have much time to chat when he gets home."

"So what have you been doing all this time? Waiting for his reply, waiting for him to come to you, waiting for him to tell you that it was all a misunderstanding between him and Lin Tingting?"

"I, I, I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize. I think you've realized your problems lately. This is an old problem of yours, but Yuanyuan, you need to understand that I was able to make it this time because I didn't have any classes and I had a ticket."

"I know, Xiaxia. The moment I knew you were coming, I started to reflect on myself. I really shouldn't have acted like this lately. Maybe it's because I'm sad about leaving you."

"Do you remember what we talked about a long time ago?"

"I know, so I'll adjust."

"Well, if all else fails, just replace Chen Wenwei. The school is so big, and you're not even in the same major, so it's difficult for you to even meet. You won't feel awkward meeting him after you break up."

"What breakup? You want to break up with Wenwei?" Lin Tingting suddenly asked.

"Has anyone ever told you that eavesdropping on other people's conversations is very impolite?" Su Xia turned to look at Lin Tingting.

"I just want to ask, is it your decision to break up with Wenwei?" Lin Tingting asked Chen Yuan.

"Whether Wenwei and I break up or not is none of your business!" Chen Yuan was quick to anger, and with Lin Tingting suspected of stealing her boyfriend, she was naturally furious!

"Of course it's related! If you break up with him, I can be with him!"

"Shut up, I'm telling you."

“Yuanyuan, calm down. Ms. Lin Tingting, please stop trying to upset Yuanyuan. You know Chen Wenwei has a girlfriend, yet you still try to provoke him, hoping he'll leave Yuanyuan for you. You probably know Chen Wenwei won't break up with Yuanyuan, so you're trying to get rid of her, am I right?” Su Xia stood up, shielding Chen Yuanyuan behind her, and looked directly at Lin Tingting.

"So what if she is? She's never a good match for Wenwei. I'm the one who's most suitable for him." Lin Tingting wasn't flustered when Su Xia exposed her, and directly admitted it.

"You heard everything, right? Now it's up to you what you do, Chen Wenwei." Su Xia glanced at Lin Tingting with great appreciation, then said to the person behind her.

After noticing Lin Tingting approaching, Su Xia messaged Chen Wenwei, asking him to wait nearby. Therefore, Chen Wenwei overheard Lin Tingting's conversation. Dealing with this low-level "green tea" (a derogatory term for a manipulative woman) didn't require Su Xia's intervention; Chen Wenwei's attitude was sufficient.

"So Yuanyuan's been in a bad mood lately because of you, Lin Tingting." Chen Wenwei's voice rang out behind her.

Lin Tingting turned her head awkwardly and said to Chen Wenwei, "Wenwei, you misunderstood me. They deliberately led me to say those things."

"Didn't I tell you that I confessed to Yuanyuan first? I've liked her for eighteen years, we've been together since we were born, and the feelings between us can't be stirred up by a few words from you." Chen Wenwei's domineering statement completely outmaneuvered Lin Tingting's tea-talking skills.

"You, you've gone too far!" Lin Tingting pretended to be heartbroken and ran away.

"Let me explain. You gave her the gloves, and she fed you." Su Xia sat back down. After dealing with the green tea, he needed to deal with the matter between him and Chen Yuan.

"What? Those gloves belong to the student council. She was complaining that her hands were cold, so I just gave them to her. You only saw me give her the gloves, but didn't you see me take the gloves you gave me out of my pocket and put them on the next second?" Chen Wenwei said to Chen Yuan.

"I... I saw you give her the gloves and then I left," Chen Yuan muttered under her breath. Who would stand there and keep watching after seeing their boyfriend being so nice to another girl?

"I'm speechless. She didn't even ask me, she just guessed blindly. She fed everyone, including the senior students, so I ate. I should have refused completely." Chen Wenwei sighed, not expecting such a big misunderstanding. He had originally wanted to refuse, but Lin Tingting persuaded him to eat, and he ate it just once.

"I don't care, that's how I see it anyway." Chen Yuan suddenly became temperamental and started to feel troubled.

"So someone reimbursed my travel expenses. Since your girlfriend called me here like this, you have to reimburse her." Su Xia understood the reason, so she spoke directly to Chen Wenwei.

"Put it in my account, and I'll reimburse you when I start working."

"OK."

"I don't care, I don't care. You've been neglecting me lately, she's been saying hurtful things to me, and she even wants me to leave you."

"Then will you leave me?"

"I... what wouldn't I dare to do?"

"Okay, okay, Yuanyuan can live without me, it's me who can't live without Yuanyuan."

"Stop it! Don't flaunt your relationship in front of me, or I'll make her break up with you."

"So you've been secretly trying to get her to break up with me all along. No wonder she was acting strangely."

Whether or not you break up is up to you. If you're doing the right thing, do you need me to encourage you?

"That's not fair! Besides, it's better to give Yuanyuan to me than to give her to some stranger."

"Who knows? What if you're scarier than a stranger?"

"Hey, you're not allowed to bully Xiaxia. If you bully Xiaxia, I'll break up with you. I mean it."
