Chapter 174 If You Don’t Fall in Love, You’ll Fail

The girl's name is Lin Zhiwei, and she is a recent graduate from the National Key University X in City A.

The girl, who was supposed to enter society with a vision for the future and full of passion, was ruined because of the approach and purposeful revenge of a boy named Zhao Yiming, and finally had to exit the stage in disgrace.

And amidst the alumni's jubilant graduation celebration, this young girl, who was still in her prime, committed suicide by cutting her wrists in the bathroom of the house she rented off campus, dying in despair and loneliness in a bathtub filled with ice water.

She didn't even frown when she died. To her, the pain of death was a kind of redemption and a relief.

…

On the first day of the new sophomore semester, the counselor informed everyone that the relevant information of elective courses would be updated on the campus website tomorrow, and asked them to check it in advance, as Thursday and Friday of this week would be the time to grab classes.

Lin Zhiwei was lucky enough to have snatched a course that he was quite interested in - sketching.

She actually didn't know why she chose this course, but when she saw it, her hand involuntarily clicked "Register".

Soon the first class arrived.

Not many people take this course, perhaps because they heard that the teacher is a serious and old professor.

Before the lecture began, there was the usual self-introduction. After Lin Zhiwei said his hometown and name, he clearly felt that someone was looking at him strangely.

She was a little nervous and only took a quick glance at the man when she returned to her seat. It was the boy who had caused a burst of gasps from the girls when he introduced himself because of his good looks. His name seemed to be... Zhao Yiming.

His neatly-cut light brown hair sets off his fair skin and delicate features. Wearing a white shirt and casual pants, he looks like a beautiful boy who walked out of a comic book.

For the entire class, he just stared at her straightly. If it weren't for the strong inquiry in his eyes, Lin Zhiwei might have suspected that he fell in love with her at first sight.

The elective course is held every Tuesday of two weeks, and I have already attended the class three times in the past month and a half. The strange thing is that Zhao Yiming always stares at her but never talks to her.

It was not until Lin Zhiwei's roommate Zhou Antian's birthday that the four roommates were harassed by a few drunk hooligans while celebrating outside the school that night. Zhao Yiming happened to pass by and rescued them.

In order to thank him for his help, or perhaps because his roommates were attracted by his good looks, Zhao Yiming had no choice but to have dinner with Zhou Antian and others after they strongly invited him.

After this incident, Zhao Yiming and Lin Zhiwei interacted more frequently.

The two of them would go jogging in the morning and enjoy breakfast together. On weekends, they would sometimes spend time in the library studying, and sometimes go out to see a movie and have a meal.

He was gentle and considerate, knowledgeable and tactful, and after a few interactions, Lin Zhiwei unknowingly developed a liking for him.

Before returning home for the winter vacation, Zhao Yiming stuffed her favorite Pink Panther doll into her arms and broke the ambiguous window paper.

Lin Zhiwei hugged the Pink Panther and nodded happily in agreement.

Since then, their relationship has heated up rapidly. It can be said that Lin Zhiwei, who was deeply in love, was completely immersed in the river of love except for studying.

Under Zhao Yiming's strong offensive, the two finally accomplished something.

Even under his coaxing, although very shy, Lin Zhiwei still agreed to wear sexy lingerie and take photos to commemorate their wonderful first time.

However, she didn't know that a catastrophe was about to come.

While Lin Zhiwei was still fantasizing about their happy future together, photos of her in sexy lingerie, changing clothes in her bedroom at home, and even nude photos after taking a bath were already flying all over the place.

It quickly became the number one trending search on the Internet, and could be seen everywhere on the school’s forums. Even the display boards at the entrances of the cafeteria, classrooms, and library had printed photos of it.

Lin Zhiwei held the phone in his trembling hands, browsing the photos in disbelief. The comments from people on the Internet came flooding in like a tide.

"Oh, the innocent-looking Lin Zhiwei turns out to be so flirty in private. It's so fucking exciting!"

"What a hot body! Such big breasts and a big ass! It must be very exciting to play with them!"

"My friends, I'll be tough first!"

"I heard that Lin Zhiwei was very promiscuous in private. She had affairs with several men at the same time and even had an abortion..."

…

In a flash, these images formed a big net in front of her eyes. The densely packed words were like knives stabbing into her heart, exposing her naked body for people to see and discuss.

Lin Zhiwei's face turned pale in an instant, his heart was shrouded in a heavy shadow, and he felt more panicked than ever before.

Then she felt that in the classroom, which had been silent for a while, there began to be whispers of discussions, which then grew louder and louder until they turned into a deafening "buzzing" sound. Accompanied by the strange atmosphere and the weird, contemptuous and mocking looks from everyone, Lin Zhiwei felt uneasy and at a loss.

Even the three roommates who sat next to her looked at her hesitantly, wanting to say something.

Lin Zhiwei's head was completely confused at this moment. She couldn't hear anything, couldn't see anything, and just stared blankly at the book.

She couldn't figure out where those photos came from? Even if the sexy lingerie photos were leaked from Zhao Yiming, what about those photos of herself at home?

And...why are those sexy lingerie photos...

Was it Zhao Yiming who did it?

But why?

After waiting in agony, the class finally ended. Lin Zhiwei didn’t even take his things, but grabbed his phone and ran out.

Everyone who saw her on the street pointed at her, but Lin Zhiwei ran past without even looking at them. She called Zhao Yiming while running, but the voice prompt kept saying the line was busy.

Since she couldn't get through on the phone, she went to his dormitory door and waited. It took a while before she saw him.

Lin Zhiwei ran up to him and pulled him, wanting to find a place to ask him about the photos.

But Zhao Yiming opened her hand and asked her coldly what was the matter.

The people around him looked at him with curiosity, ridicule and contempt. Lin Zhiwei lowered his head, gritted his teeth and asked him in a low voice: "What's the matter with those photos? Didn't you say that they would never be leaked?"

"What do you mean by that?" Hearing this, Zhao Yiming suddenly shouted angrily, with a gloomy face, "I haven't asked you what's going on yet, but you come to question me? My girlfriend is actually like this in private, having an affair with another man, and even spreading her nude photos everywhere! I'm so embarrassed, and you come to me before I settle the score! Lin Zhiwei, do you have any shame? If you get pregnant with a bastard, will you ask me to pay for it?"

"I'm telling you it's impossible! From today... no, from now on, we're done! From now on, we'll go our separate ways, and don't come looking for me again!"

Lin Zhiwei froze for a moment, a chill running up from the soles of his feet and up his spine to his head. She felt as if she was in an ice cellar. The bone-chilling cold made her clenched teeth chatter and her scalp tingle.

"You, you——" She looked at the barely perceptible malice, hatred and complacency hidden in Zhao Yiming's eyes, and couldn't help but clench her fists. "You did it on purpose! From the very beginning, you approached me with a purpose. All of this was planned by you..."

At this moment, Lin Zhiwei suddenly recalled the inquiring look in his eyes when he looked at her when they first met. When she thought about it now, she realized that it was actually hiding disgust and hatred.

Her mind raced, and she suddenly thought of the Pink Panther he gave her. Thinking of this, she opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "That Pink Panther—"

From the very beginning, he had the intention of taking secret photos of her. Even if she had not been seduced into bed by him and had not worn sexy lingerie, she still could not escape the fate of having her nude photos spread everywhere.

Thinking of this, her face turned pale and her throat became stiff: "You really have such a vicious mind."

Hearing this, Zhao Yiming curled his lips slightly and said sarcastically in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Do you seem to understand? So what if it's me? If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being stupid."

He was about to turn around and leave. Lin Zhiwei was so angry that she was shaking. She grabbed him and asked, "Why did you do this? Why did you do this to me? Why why why!"

Zhao Yiming showed a soft-hearted and sad expression, as if he had been struggling for a long time before he made up his mind to shake her off: "Lin Zhiwei, don't bother me anymore! I don't want to be like this, who told you... who told you to be so dishonest, I, I really love you... I am also very sad, but what can I do, I am so sad..."

Heartbroken and grief-stricken.

The infatuated and grief-stricken look of this infatuated man made Lin Zhiwei look even more like a heartless and dissolute woman. People passing by tried to comfort Zhao Yiming and blamed Lin Zhiwei with their eyes. Some gossipers even recorded a video and uploaded it to the Internet, spreading the matter widely.

In just half a day, Zhao Yiming became a pitiful man that everyone sympathized with, with comforters coming one after another, while Lin Zhiwei became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat, with rumors flying wherever he went.

Although the school quickly dealt with the photos scattered on the forum and campus, it was of no avail.

Everyone kept posting, but in the end the school didn't care as long as there were no nude photos.

Gradually, more and more people began to follow suit, saying that she was "hypocritically noble", "no matter how pretentious she is, she is still a sell-out", "a whore who still pretends to be a virtuous woman", and they also spread the word that they saw her going to a hotel with so-and-so today, and saw her sponsor tomorrow.

You and I were talking about the "unknown Lin Zhiwei".

Not only did they spread rumors online and behind the scenes to maliciously slander Lin Zhiwei, but they also began to openly verbally abuse and mock him.

The rumors surrounding her had already exhausted Lin Zhiwei. Everyone looked at her as if she were a slutty bitch, with contempt and disdain.

However, this was not enough, they even collectively ostracized and isolated her. What's worse, they would secretly throw paper balls and garbage at her during class, and her books were covered with words like "bitch", "slut", and "slut", and every word was filled with disgusting ridicule and sarcasm.

Her roommates and friends left one after another, and no one wanted to be with her for fear of being implicated by her.

Lin Zhiwei just couldn't stand the atmosphere in the school, so she applied to the school to move out and rent a house.

After moving out, she felt a lot less stressed. As soon as she finished her classes every day, she would rush home and stay there, reading and doing homework without stopping until she was so sleepy that she fell asleep, leaving herself no time to think too much or to go online.

The author has something to say: ?? The collection has not exceeded 5700, I will not start to smoke, and I will continue to spit knives tomorrow, hum╭(╯^╰)╮~

If there are a lot of comments, I might consider giving you a knife and candy.

That's it. Good night.
