It has been three months since my last diary entry. During this time, Zhirou and I have had a very pleasant time together, and our family has been very happy, so I haven't written in my diary again.
But… I can't explain it. I'm conflicted. Am I being too petty, or too sensitive? Why do I always feel that Zhirou isn't truly sincere towards me? We have several mutual friends, some of whom I introduced to her. But gradually, they all started to distance themselves from me, while getting closer to Zhirou instead. It seems like Qiao Kexin is the only one I'm close to, but I always feel that Qiao Kexin's motives for approaching me aren't pure. Never mind, let's not talk about Qiao Kexin for now.
I think Zhirou behaved a bit strangely in front of my parents. She would agree to do things together, but because her father objected, she wouldn't insist, while I continued to argue. This made her seem very sensible, while I became the unreasonable and argumentative one. But we knew all along that Dad definitely wouldn't agree!
Afterwards, she came to me and analyzed the pros and cons, speaking eloquently and logically. Qiao Kexin said she was just pretending, which confused me.
-
Something happened today that confirmed Qiao Kexin's and my suspicions. Shen Zhirou, she really was faking it!! She hates me! But I never intended to steal her position as the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Everyone knows I was adopted by the Shen family, and I've never deliberately hidden that fact in public! Ever since she came back, I've been trying my best to get along with her, but I never expected that her kindness towards me was just an act in front of my parents!
That bitch! Knowing I was going to the school's speech contest finals today, she took my phone and locked me in the bathroom of a secluded school building. She's declared war on me! She says she's taking back everything that's rightfully hers.
My speech, which I'd prepared for months, was ruined by her. But there were no security cameras in the corridors of that old school building, and nobody believed it, not even my parents. She was such a good actress, acting like a pitiful, innocent little flower! It was absolutely disgusting!
-
"That bitch Shen Zhirou is just too despicable! She always finds a way to make me angry, to make me hysterical, making everyone around me think there's something wrong with me. I know I shouldn't do this, and every time I play right into her hands, but I just can't help it. I can't help but try to prove myself, can't help but raise my voice to prove my innocence, but in other people's eyes, my loud voice is just a sign of my insecurity and incompetence."
-
"She almost killed me. On the 32nd-floor rooftop, she nearly pushed me off. She pushed me against the railing, my upper body dangling in mid-air. I always thought I wasn't afraid of heights, but at that moment I was terrified. I felt dizzy, my heart was racing! Even now, I still feel lingering fear. I can't bear to think about that scene again. She was right, no one will believe me. Forget it, forget it and I won't be afraid anymore."
-
'It's been a long time since I wrote in my diary. That incident is now buried deep in my heart. I'm not studying management anymore; I don't want to be classmates with her anymore. I'm switching to design, the same major as my mom, and I want to work in that field in the future.'
-
"Qiao Kexin is right. I should annoy her, especially with trivial things. It won't hurt her anyway, and if she holds a grudge, it'll just make her seem petty. She forced me into this, she forced me!"
-
Turning to this point, the original owner's diary pauses.
Wen Yan's shock was beyond words.
No wonder there were no bad memories of Shen Zhirou in my mind; they were sealed away by the original owner of this body.
Looking at the diary now, all those painful, maddening, and suffocating memories come flooding back.
Perhaps because the body was the original one, the moment the memories erupted, Wen Yan's heart suddenly ached as if stabbed with needles for a long time.
When the pain subsided, Wen Yan realized that her face was already covered in tears.
She never imagined that the original owner of this body, who was constantly courting death, was actually forced into this situation by Shen Zhirou!
She used to be so kind, but Shen Zhirou forced her into this state!
How much suffering has she endured in these past four years! Shen Zhirou, why did she have to go to such lengths!
Wen Yan suddenly felt sorry for the original owner of the body.
She stroked the words on the diary and secretly made a decision.
'Wen Yan, we share the same name. Your body and my soul have met; this is our destiny. Although I didn't intend to fight or compete, I want to seek justice for you. It doesn't matter if there's no evidence for the past; she'll surely slip up again.'
Wen Yan closed her diary.
She went to the bathroom to wash her face, and it took her a while to calm down.
After returning to bed, Wen Yan reopened the diary.
From the pause in the diary to the last page with the name of the deceased, there were still many pages in between. Wen Yan planned to flip through them to see if there were any other discoveries.
Upon closer inspection, Wen Yan indeed noticed something unusual.
One page in this diary has been torn out.
However, because the original owner wrote heavily, most of the writing was transferred to the next page.
It just so happens that the original owner of this body used to study design, and when Wen Yan was tidying up her things last time, she found a lot of pencils in the drawer.
She immediately found a sharpened pencil and began to scribble quickly and lightly on the blank page.
Soon, the white writing on the paper appeared.
The handwriting was slightly messy and different from the original owner's usual handwriting, but it was definitely written by her.
Wen Yan recognized every single word on the paper, but when all the words were put together...
All she could say was that she was utterly shocked after seeing it; her pupils practically dilated.
'Ha, I've discovered something! She's a madwoman, she's dead meat!'
This is all the content that Wen Yan restored.
This was absolutely devastating for Wen Yan.
She closed her eyes and began searching her memories, wanting to see what the original owner of this body had seen to arrive at this conclusion.
She tried hard to recall, and finally, she found the memory.
But, unfortunately!
That memory is very vague because the original owner was drunk at the time.
This undated, illegible diary entry was also written by the original owner of the body while drunk.
Not long after she finished writing, the original owner of this body lay down on the bed with the diary in her arms and fell asleep. When she woke up, she found that she couldn't remember anything, so she simply tore the page out in frustration.
However, Wen Yan believed that there must be a reason behind every rumor.
Perhaps the original owner's guess was not wrong.
For example, just now, Shen Zhirou specially went to deliver juice to Shen Jinghe.
Before giving it to her, she even asked me if Shen Jinghe had accepted the small cake.
Although they are brothers with the same father and mother and are related by blood, she didn't mention her eldest brother, Shen Jingxiu, at all.
Her sudden change of attitude and exposure of her true nature was also because Shen Jinghe refused to accept her juice.
All these details deserve careful consideration.
