Chapter 18: Heart’s Thoughts Exposed
Xuan Xia didn’t need to give any more hints; Ji Weiyi almost instantly remembered who she had spoken to on Monday and what she had said.
Because after learning in the conversation that the other person was Xuan Xia’s younger sister, she had indeed said a few insincere words.
Ji Weiyi knew it might reach Xuan Xia, but she hadn’t expected Xuan Xia to find out so quickly.
She immediately showed a guilty expression.
Yu Lanlan saw that Ji Weiyi was made flustered by just a few words from Xuan Xia, like a little mouse that had seen a cat, and she was furious inside.
She really couldn’t understand what Ji Weiyi was afraid of with Xuan Xia.
What was there to fear about Xuan Xia!
Yu Lanlan directly stepped forward to cut in, facing Xuan Xia head-on, and said thickly with her neck stiff: “Xuan Xia, you’ve transferred to the Law department, huh? Now you know how to use the law to intimidate people. I told you not to bully Wewei, she’s not like you!”
“Also, spreading rumors? What rumors did we spread about you? On the contrary, you yourself know full well what you’ve done, right? It’s something everyone on campus knows, so does it need others to spread rumors about you?”
Yu Lanlan glared with wide eyes, her eyebrows also raised, aggressively pressing forward with full fighting spirit.
Yan Xiaowen on the side rolled up her nonexistent sleeves.
Although she didn’t know the specifics, Yu Lanlan’s arrogant and domineering attitude was really unpleasant.
Bullying us for being more civilized, huh?
Yan Xiaowen was just about to step past Xuan Xia when Xuan Xia hooked her arm and stopped her.
If you can talk it out, why resort to hands?
No need, no need.
Some students attracted by the commotion had already appeared around the dormitory building.
Xuan Xia felt that from now on, she should appropriately consider her identity as an artist.
Being watched arguing was better than being watched fighting. If it got filmed in a short video, that would definitely be scandalous material.
“Yu Lanlan, are you confessing without being pressed?” After stopping Yan Xiaowen, Xuan Xia said amusedly: “I originally thought it was just Ji Weiyi alone, but turns out you were there too.”
Yu Lanlan: “!!!”
She hadn’t thought Xuan Xia didn’t know she was there. So Xuan Xia had only wanted to target Ji Weiyi, and she had exposed herself due to carelessness?
Yu Lanlan was a bit annoyed at herself for always rushing to the front.
“But I should have thought of it too; among the people there, you’re the one who loves stirring trouble the most.” Xuan Xia’s smile didn’t fade, but her words were not polite at all.
Yu Lanlan exploded again upon hearing this.
What did she mean by loving to stir trouble?
What trouble had she stirred?!
Yu Lanlan felt Xuan Xia was deliberately targeting her.
Actually, she was afraid that bullying Ji Weiyi now would lead to Qin Yi finding out later and coming after her.
Yu Lanlan believed she had seen through Xuan Xia’s little thoughts. Although she despised Xuan Xia’s tendency to bully the weak and fear the strong, a sense of frustration welled up inside her.
If Ji Weiyi didn’t always act unconfident in front of Xuan Xia, abandoning her armor and fleeing at the slightest sign of trouble, why would she have to be the thorn in the eye and the bird that sticks its neck out every time.
Thinking of this, Yu Lanlan couldn’t help but glance at Ji Weiyi: She’s really useless!
Ji Weiyi easily read the resentment toward her in Yu Lanlan’s eyes.
She pursed her lips, also wanting to learn from Xuan Xia pulling Yan Xiaowen and stand up for Yu Lanlan once.
But before she could act, she heard Xuan Xia say: “If you really like Qin Yi too, just go for it openly. If you make the effort and still can’t win over Ji Weiyi, no one will laugh at you, and you won’t have any regrets.”
“Why insist on doing it like this, hiding behind Ji Weiyi, treating her like a fool, and making yourself uncomfortable too?” Xuan Xia had originally only wanted to expose Yu Lanlan’s little thoughts, but after saying it, she couldn’t help adding some earnest persuasion.
Of course, she didn’t want to be some good person.
She just wanted to quickly extricate herself completely from the matter.
“!!!”
Yu Lanlan was completely dumbfounded.
Now looking at Xuan Xia, her eyes even held fear.
Equally dumbfounded were Ji Weiyi and Yan Xiaowen.
But Yan Xiaowen was only stunned for a second before snapping back, “Holy shit! Real or fake?”
She looked at Xuan Xia, wanting to confirm if that bombshell statement had really come from Xuan Xia’s mouth.
Yu Lanlan also likes Qin Yi?!
Then Xuan Xia affirmed it for her, “Yeah, you didn’t know?”
Yan Xiaowen said “holy shit holy shit” twice in a row, “I didn’t know.” Her gaze shocked as she looked at Yu Lanlan.
Yu Lanlan suddenly felt like a skinned bullfrog, her mood indescribable, and Xuan Xia wouldn’t let her off easy.
“Oh, no way? I think she has quite a few flaws.”
Actually, if not for that dream, Xuan Xia wouldn’t have noticed either.
According to the plot in the dream, Yu Lanlan liking Qin Yi didn’t truly surface until they graduated.
Everyone finally realized that Yu Lanlan liked Qin Yi, and her lurking by Ji Weiyi’s side was just to get close to the water and catch the moon first.
Of course, it wasn’t just simple lurking. How much trouble had she stirred between Xuan Xia and Ji Weiyi? She probably couldn’t even remember herself. Anyway, at least six or seven out of ten times involved her.
But knowing her motive now, looking back at what she had done before, there were indeed many small details that people had overlooked.
So Xuan Xia felt that Yu Lanlan and Yan Xiaowen were worlds apart.
Yan Xiaowen didn’t have Yu Lanlan’s sneaky little thoughts; all her actions treated her as a friend, unlike Ji Weiyi, who was treated like a fool and deceived.
Xuan Xia once again inwardly celebrated that her friend was Yan Xiaowen, then heard Yan Xiaowen burst out laughing.
“Yu Lanlan, you’re really so dirty.” Yan Xiaowen mercilessly mocked Yu Lanlan.
Yu Lanlan had a ghastly expression.
Earlier, being suddenly exposed had left her soul out of body, so she didn’t know how to respond for a long time; now being mocked by Yan Xiaowen, Yu Lanlan finally came to her senses and prepared to fight back.
“Xuan Xia, you’re talking nonsense!”
“Hey hey hey, what are you doing, acting like a shrew?” Yan Xiaowen was quick-eyed and handed, seeing Yu Lanlan actually about to strike, she hurriedly reached out to stop her, “Yu Lanlan, you’re not getting angry from embarrassment after your thoughts were exposed, are you?”
Yu Lanlan wanted to say she wasn’t.
“Think it over before you speak.” Xuan Xia said it first, as if she had anticipated it, before she could open her mouth.
Yu Lanlan couldn’t say anything then.
She worried that if she denied it, Xuan Xia would have some trap waiting for her to jump into.
And what she wanted most right now was to tear Xuan Xia’s mouth apart.
“Holy shit holy shit, Yu Lanlan, are you crazy?” Yan Xiaowen, with great strength, almost couldn’t hold her off.
Xuan Xia looked at the silent Ji Weiyi: “Ji Weiyi, you’re just watching the show? Won’t you pull your friend back and have a good heart-to-heart?”
The named Ji Weiyi dazedly snapped back, looked at the furious Yu Lanlan, then at Xuan Xia watching coldly, shivered, and finally stepped forward to stop Yu Lanlan as if she knew what to do.
Yu Lanlan was held back by her and angrily questioned: “Who the hell are you with?” Why do whatever she tells you to do!
“Whoa, that’s a good question. Ji Weiyi, ask her too—what suit does she count as in the deck of cards? The colorful one, or the black and white version?”
When it came to sarcastic skills, Yan Xiaowen was always top-notch.
