Chapter 26
Zhan Miao is in a coma. The doctor said that he needs to be observed for two days. If he doesn't wake up after two days, he will probably have to stay like this forever.
Zhan's mother sat in silence, her eyes red as she sat before her daughter. Zhan's father, on the other hand, was on the phone with a serious expression. Only Zhan Mu took Zhan Miao's phone from Officer Liu. With Lu Chao's help, he unlocked it and saw Miao Miao's text.
In the dormitory group, Zhan Miao had a big quarrel with her roommate. The incident was instigated by a girl named Chen Jia. Someone threw orange peel garbage into her express box, and she thought it was Zhan Miao who did it, so she quarreled with her in the group.
Chen Jia: Zhan Miao, this is my express box, not a trash can. I saw the tangerines on your desk. If it wasn’t you who threw it away, who did?
Zhan Miao: "I didn't throw it away. Yes, I bought some tangerines, but I usually throw them in the trash. You don't think I'm picking on you, do you? Don't be so ridiculous. I wouldn't do something so silly."
Liu Tianmei: ...
Liu Tianmei: (thumbs-up) (smile)
Chen Jia: You’re overthinking it. Who is targeting you?
Chen Jia: I'm just discussing the matter at hand. And the clothesline you bought is inconvenient to put here, and you didn't even clean it up. It's not something we want to use, yet you asked the dormitory to share the cost.
Zhan Miao: You guys agreed to it back then. I'm not the only one using the clothesline. Awesome.
Zhan Mu watched coldly and snorted twice, thinking that such trivial matters were extremely ridiculous.
On this side, someone named Jiang Yuanyuan, who seemed to be close friends with Zhan Miao, sent a message: Sorry, I read it wrongly. I accidentally threw that orange peel into Chen Jia’s express box. I thought it was someone’s unwanted trash can.
Zhan Miao seemed angry: Then go tell Chen Jia in the group.
Jiang Yuanyuan: I talked to her privately and it’s okay.
Zhan Miao replied to Jiang Yuanyuan after a few seconds: "She didn't blame you?" Haha, so funny, if it was me who threw it, Chen Jia would be angry, but if it was you, she wouldn't care.
Zhan Miao: Chen Jia just doesn't like me~
Zhan Mu took a deep breath and felt suffocated. So that's what it was like. This was the kind of cliques and intrigues that women engaged in.
There was no other news. Zhan Miao had a bad relationship with her roommate. Zhan Mu even looked at her photo album and also roughly browsed the updates posted by her roommate.
Chen Jia is a good friend of Huang Jiye’s current girlfriend.
She is also a well-known beauty blogger and is good friends with Liu Tianmei. Their relationship looks very close in the photos.
Officer Liu was there the whole time. He noticed Zhan Mu's expression and saw that he had changed to another software, an anonymous local social software. Zhan Miao chatted with a stranger about many complaints.
They seem to be of the same age, and are all girls.
Miaomiao: My roommate is so annoying. I’m so envious of how the people in his dormitory get along so well.
Bubble: I’m preparing for the Level 4 exam recently and I’m in the library every day.
Miaomiao: I also want to study as hard as you, but I can’t do it, hahaha. Actually, I don’t want to take the postgraduate entrance examination.
Bubble: I don't know. I just feel like I can't stand staying in the dorm. My roommate drinks, eats barbecue, and plays cards every night. He's much more annoying than you, okay? Hahahahaha...
Miaomiao: Damn this dorm system! Four people would be fine, but why eight? That means I have to get along with seven people. It's so fucking annoying.
Paopao: If we were in the same city, we could rent a house together. (Flowers)
Miaomiao: It’s a pity that we are not, and I am really extravagant with money. Usually, 1,600 is not enough for me.
Bubble: Envy.
Paopao: So you're still saying your parents treat you badly? My living expenses are only 1,200.
Miaomiao: No, our family is that kind of family. We are very controlling. It’s hard to explain, but we are very rigid. Alas... my mother will roll her eyes if I wear a slightly revealing skirt, hahahaha.
Bubble: So, how revealing is that? (Laughing with a crooked mouth)
Miaomiao: Maybe I have too strong a sense of morals. Once I took a selfie and posted it, and my mother actually commented, saying, "Don't show such a charming expression."
Miaomiao: I was really angry and embarrassed at that time. I gave in.
Bubbles: (Frog laughs)
Bubble: I don’t know what to say, anyway hahahahahaha.
My sister's voice and appearance are still in front of my eyes, but now she is lying on the hospital bed with a corpse-like face, breathing weakly, and I don't know whether she is alive or dead.
"Oh." Zhan Mu was suddenly patted on the shoulder by Officer Liu, and he came back to his senses. However, he saw the young man turning around, tears streaming down his face, and his motionless expression looked sad.
"You..." Officer Liu hesitated. Zhan Mu wiped his eyes, looking lost, and said, "It's nothing. She is my sister after all. I must be sad to see her become like this."
"There are surveillance cameras in the hallways of their school dormitories. It's unlikely they were persecuted by their classmates. Don't worry." Officer Liu relaxed Zhan Mu's shoulders and said, "There's a lot of pressure in society these days. You students are still young, so be proactive."
Zhan Mu blinked his eyes, held back his tears, said "hmm" very softly, and whispered "thank you uncle".
-
That night, Zhan Mu rushed to Anzhou University with a gloomy face and blocked Huang Jiye and his new girlfriend at the door of the men's dormitory. Zhan Mu was arrogant because he had just come out of Zhan Miao's dormitory and saw her tablet that was smashed to pieces by someone.
"Huang Jiye, who did this to Zhan Miao's tablet?" Zhan Mu pulled out an iPad with a shattered screen from his pocket, his eyes fierce. "You should know about her jumping off the building, right?"
"She was the one who cheated on people's feelings by being a gold digger." The pretty girl in the beige coat mocked. Zhan Mu sneered and looked her up and down. He couldn't recognize her clothes, but she was carrying an Hermès bag.
"I really don't know anything about her." Huang Jiye looked impatient, his face slightly crooked, and the curve of his mouth asked for a beating. He left after saying this lightly, and took the opportunity to bump into Zhan Mu's shoulder.
Zhan Mu was already resentful, so he turned around and kicked Huang Jiye, then grabbed the back of his collar and threw him to the ground, saying, "Then I don't know either. I only believe what I saw."
"Why are you hitting people?!" the girl in the beige coat yelled.
"Shut up!" Zhan Mu glared at her and pulled out a wad of money from his pocket. He had withdrawn it from the bank that afternoon. He then slapped Huang Jiye in the face with a casual, mocking tone, "This is the money you used to buy Zhan Miao an iPad. As her brother, I paid it back for her, so I don't owe you anything anymore."
"Zhan Mu, are you fucking crazy?"
Huang Jiye was also furious. He tried to struggle, but Zhan Mu pressed his knee against his chest and slapped him hard in the face with the stack of money. He growled, "It's me! What's wrong? Tell me! Why did my sister jump off the building?!"
They were at the bottom of the men's dormitory of Anzhou University. It was the end of the evening self-study get out of class, and countless passers-by passed by. Those students stopped to watch out of curiosity, and even took out their mobile phones to record the scene and talk about it.
"Zhan, Zhan Mu... If you go crazy again, I'll call the police!" The girl in the beige coat had never seen such a scene before. She was so scared by the tit-for-tat between the two that she spoke incoherently.
"Your sister originally wanted to talk to me because..." Huang Jiye roared, but he stopped talking mid-sentence. He looked terrified and said patiently, "Well, brother, don't be like this. Let's find a place to have a drink and sit down and talk it out."
"Zhang Jing, go quickly and call Chen Jia to come too. Oh no, call everyone from 424 too. I'll treat everyone to dinner."
"My sister, why did she jump off the building?!" Zhan Mu gritted his teeth, as if he was out of control. His eyes were red and he wouldn't give in. He grabbed Huang Jiye's collar and was very out of control.
"Zhan Mu, will it do you any good if you continue to stir like this other than embarrassing yourself?!" Huang Jiye couldn't resist the strength of his hand, and at the same time, he looked at his stupid current girlfriend with great annoyance. Her hands were shaking like a sieve. Apart from being beautiful, she was useless.
Zhan Mu felt a little scalp-tingling and helpless, as he had lost his mind due to anger. Now he didn't know how to end it. Embarrassment, shame and anger all came over him at once. He felt isolated and helpless, and so wronged.
The other students were talking about it. After all, Zhan Mu was also from the Sports College. Some even knew him and wanted to run over to mediate. Suddenly, Huang Jiye's phone vibrated, and Zhan Mu was forcibly pulled away by a junior student and comforted.
"Brother Zhan is fine, it's fine, let's talk it over."
Zhan Mu was breathing heavily. He turned around and saw that their school leaders and Officer Liu had also arrived, as well as his frightened and distraught parents.
Many years later, Zhan Mu could not forget the situation on that day, which was both chaotic and lively. He thought he had done nothing wrong, and he even thought he was upholding justice. However, unexpectedly, fate pushed him towards darkness.
Because the next second, when Huang Jiye received the call from 'Mom', the volume of the phone suddenly became louder, and almost everyone present knew it.
"How is she doing recently? What's her reaction?" It was Huang Jiye's voice.
Chen Jia's voice: "Zhan Miao? How can a stupid bitch like you still have claws... She hasn't eaten for a few days and doesn't sleep at night. She's crazy."
Zhang Jing: "I smashed the tablet with her. Look at her slutty face. How dare she do that?"
Chen Jia: "Oh, they're here to study. Humph, it's because Huang Jiye's mother is the dean, just like the counselor in the class next door, hahahahaha..."
"You really think I'm a fool." Huang Jiye also sneered.
"Tian Mei, Tian Mei? Call her to see what Zhan Miao is doing? Hahaha, Jia Jia, quickly call Tian Mei." Zhang Jing laughed meanly, not knowing what she had in mind, and then said loudly: "Is Mei Mei listening to music? Turn up the volume, I can't hear you~ Hahaha, what should I do, I disturbed Zhan Miao's study~"
"Bitch." Chen Jia snorted.
Huang Jiye was shocked that his cell phone was out of control. He pressed the power button hard, but to no avail. He glanced at everyone, appearing panicked and trying to hide his mistake.
Zhan Mu knew that it was probably Lu Chao who did it for him.
His eyes suddenly turned cold, becoming calm and fierce, and he glanced at everyone present, including his roommates from dormitory 424 who had rushed over.
Zhan Mu breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart tightened again when he met those unfamiliar teachers from Anzhou University. He walked over and said to Officer Liu, who was smoking silently, "Uncle... I'm in trouble. My sister was forced to jump off the building because of their cold and violent bullying!"
