Xi Xinxin took five days off, planning to stroll around Mei Qing's university gate every day. Based on her judgment, no one would dare to harm Mei Qing on campus. The breakthrough point was after Mei Qing left the campus.
Upon closer reflection, it's clear that Mei Qing is currently living alone in her dormitory. It's possible someone could enter the school and take action. Three people have already received warnings and expulsions, and a new batch of responsible teachers has been selected. This serves as a wake-up call for everyone. Perhaps an attack won't happen so quickly. The best time to strike is when everyone is off guard.
(So, does the host still plan to observe for the next few days?)
Xi Xinxin nodded. She believed that Wang Luyao's father had already been dismissed from his position, making it very difficult for him to climb back up. Wang Luyao was restless and impatient; she wouldn't have the ability to make further moves. Therefore, she was certain that Wang Luyao would take advantage of her current financial resources to have ulterior motives.
Upon arriving at the school gate, Xi Xinxin spotted two familiar figures—Wang Luyao's two followers. Behind them appeared to be their parents. The two men also noticed Xi Xinxin, and one hesitated for a moment before stepping forward: "My name is Zheng Wen."
"I know," Xi Xinxin shrugged. "What are you trying to say?"
Zheng Wen was still hesitating when her mother, her eyes reddening, spoke first: "You're the one who helped that Mei Qing child, right? I'm so sorry. How could my child do such a thing? It's all our fault as parents. I hope you can be lenient. Our Zheng Wen really, really worked so hard to get into this school."
"Strive to get into university and then bully your classmates?"
Zheng Wen's mother was speechless after being choked. She slapped Zheng Wen: "You brat!"
"No!" Ji Tiantian hurriedly tried to explain, "We were both threatened by Wang Luyao. She said... she said we're all in the same dorm. If we don't gang up on Mei Qing, neither of us will have a good time. We had no choice!"
After saying that, Ji Tiantian looked at Xi Xinxin with hope. Perhaps so. They still had a chance to study.
Xi Xinxin stroked her chin: "Do you guys know what? The three of you in the dorm couldn't beat Wang Luyao? Or when Mei Qing was telling the teacher about it, you said it was just a minor squabble?"
"What if we speak up for her and Wang Luyao targets us?!" Ji Tiantian retorted.
"Yes, yes, yes. Wang Luyao gave you all the scripts. The script about how to bully Mei Qing was also given to you by Wang Luyao."
Zheng Wen opened her mouth, but couldn't utter any excuses. She knew perfectly well that they were using Wang Luyao's identity to beat up someone they both disliked. She hated Mei Qing. She hated how all the boys fawned over her. She hated her pretentious aloofness. She hated how many suitors she had. She hated that Mei Qing's grades were even better than hers.
Xi Xinxin didn't want to waste words with them and turned to leave. There was no place for either of them in that school anymore. Xi Xinxin had the system calculate Mei Qing's approximate daily activity range. She then checked the vicinity for any inconspicuous or easily overlooked places.
Around a corner, Xi Xinxin heard a faint meow. She became excited. It had been so long since she'd petted a cat since separating from her beloved. She tiptoed closer, only to find someone already feeding the cat.
The cat was dark and small; anyone could see it was malnourished. Half of its body was inside a small cardboard box. It rubbed its head against the hand of the person feeding it, trying hard to please him.
The man noticed someone turn around behind him. How to describe him? He was also crouching down to make it easier to feed the cat. He had shoulder-length hair, neatly styled, and wore two earrings in one ear. It didn't make his face appear overly delicate; rather, it gave him a dangerous kind of beauty.
The man brushed one side of his bangs back with his hand. He turned to the side and asked, "Do you want me to feed you?"
Xi Xinxin turned and ran away.
The man paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile: "Xiao Mi, she doesn't think I'm a bad person, does she?"
A moment later, Xi Xinxin returned with two cans of cat food and handed one to the man.
"I didn't have much food on me just now. Do you feed this cat often?"
The man didn't react for a moment. Xi Xinxin nodded in confusion before he spoke, "No. I just saw it today. It must have been abandoned."
Do you want to raise it?
Before the man could reply, the system voice came through.
(Host, Mei Qing has left the school)
Xi Xinxin stood up abruptly, turned around, and ran away. She paused for a moment, then said, "Keep feeding Bye-bye~"
The man smiled and stroked the black cat's chin: "Little Mimi, do you want to come home with me?"
Xi Xinxin immediately spotted Mei Qing in the crowd and quietly followed behind her.
(Host. You look like the bad guy now.)
I understand.
(?)
Xi Xinxin pulled out a pair of sunglasses and a mask from somewhere and put them on.
Doesn't it look like a bodyguard?
(I'd like to borrow Wu Mingze's words from before)
I understand, I'm incredibly smart.
Mei Qing was just out buying some daily necessities. Her previous toiletries had been thrown away, and there were some strange impurities in them. While shopping, she immediately sensed something was wrong. Having been bullied for days, she understood this. Someone was following her. Her hands trembled involuntarily. She opened her phone and contacted Xi Xinxin: "Xinxin, it seems... it seems someone is following me."
Xi Xinxin hadn't expected Mei Qing to react so strongly, so she stepped forward and said, "Mei Qing, it's me."
After explaining the whole story, Mei Qing finally calmed down. When she learned that Xi Xinxin's mother still wanted to help her remove her scars, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. Some people will care about you even if they don't know you. Others will only push you into the abyss.
“I actually wanted to refuse. I know it was Auntie’s good intention. But I need this scar,” Mei Qing explained. “I’ve had many suitors since I was a child. But now, some of them see this and it’s like they think a perfect object has a flaw.”
"Don't you feel that constantly being around this person will become a shadow?"
“I’ll always remember that it was you who helped me, Xinxin. You pulled me out of the abyss. I will never forget you.” Mei Qing was a little emotional. Her voice was always soft and gentle, but the way she looked at Xi Xinxin was different: “Can I be your friend?”
"good"
Mei Qing beamed with joy. The scar on her neck didn't detract from her dazzling beauty at all. Because of this, some rumors still circulated at school. Some believed that if she didn't look like that, she wouldn't have been bullied. Others thought Mei Qing was a vixen, and that she had seduced men and brought this upon herself.
Mei Qing knew all this. She didn't care. As long as no one was bullying her, she only wanted to focus on her studies. She was determined to become someone who could help Xi Xinxin! To let Xinxin know she hadn't made a mistake!
At that moment, at Wang Luyao's home, her mother was frantically berating the two of them, yelling and screaming like a madwoman.
"Your reputation is ruined now, good. What are you all thinking?"
Wang Luyao cried desperately, which annoyed her father: "How should I know? Did I send you to school to compete for a man? Would this happen if you hadn't given birth to a daughter?"
"Ah!!" A vase was thrown at the man.
Wang Luyao couldn't accept what was happening. Just yesterday, her family was so beautiful, so warm and enviable. How did it turn out like this? It was all because of Mei Qing! It was Mei Qing who did it! Wang Luyao's mother was a housewife with no income. And her husband couldn't accept starting over from the bottom again; he believed that if it weren't for their daughter, none of this would have happened.
After searching through various channels, Wang Luyao contacted a group of shady characters. She paid them the money in full and gave them Mei Qing's photo. The shady characters assured her that they would resolve the issue, give her a little hardship, and then no one would be able to come looking for her.
Xi Xinxin spent the entire afternoon in the library. After reviewing the system analysis of the Meiqing route, she decided to head back.
After Mei Qing finished washing up, she was alone in her dorm room. She felt incredibly safe. Just as she was about to turn off the light, a phone call came in.
"Hello, takeout delivery, at the school gate"
"Sorry, I didn't order anything. Did I make a mistake?"
"No way, this is yours. The girl probably got it from someone else. You need to come down and get it. I have another order and I'm in a hurry, otherwise I'll be fined."
"Okay, I'll come down right away."
It was already very late. Mei Qing first informed the dormitory manager and then went out to get her takeout. She went to the security room and looked around, then, seeing no one, picked up the phone and dialed: "Hello, I haven't seen anyone."
"Come here, next to the small door."
Mei Qing walked toward the small door at the corner, completely unaware that the security guard in the security room had been drawn to someone else.
(Note: Mei Qing is moving rapidly towards the outside of the school.)
Xi Xinxin knew Wang Luyao would make a move, but she didn't expect her to act so quickly. She quickly threw on a coat, grabbed her keys, and ran outside. Luckily, a taxi happened to pass by, and she got in and told the driver to drive fast.
She kept calling Mei Qing on her phone, but no one answered. She also sent messages, but no one replied.
Her face darkened as she reached into her pocket. Inside were a small knife and a retractable wooden stick. Well then. Don't blame me for using what I find.
Mei Qing's head slammed heavily against the wall. She was on the verge of losing consciousness. A man in front of her had already begun to undress.
"Wow, you're even better looking than in the photos. You've already slept with so many guys, what's one more?"
"Bro, the rest of us want to too."
Mei Qing spat out a mouthful of saliva: "Trash, ptooey!" She slapped her across the face again. She frantically searched her surroundings for anything to defend herself. Only dirt and broken pieces of wood. She watched as Fei Yuan's phone kept flashing; it must be Xi Xinxin. But she was finished.
Click!
Under the flash of camera lights, several men turned around: "Hey, where did this chick come from, coming to get herself killed?"
Xi Xinxin was furious. She rushed forward and struck the man who had taken off his clothes with a stick! The scene gradually became chaotic. Several grown men couldn't hold Xi Xinxin back.
Locating a small wooden stick at her feet, she swiftly slashed a man's shoulder. Just as the man cried out in pain, she kicked him to the ground. Several men rushed forward, grabbing bricks to smash Xi Xinxin, but a flash of light from somewhere blinded them.
Mei Qing also stepped forward and bit one of the men's hands tightly. They didn't understand that brute force alone wouldn't win. Xi Xinxin did. Taking advantage of their momentary lapse in attention, she knocked two men unconscious. The remaining two were even easier to deal with. She stood between the two men. One dodged their powerful blows, and they immediately collided.
They probably had never experienced such humiliation before. The two of them started swearing.
Xi Xinxin, with a cold expression, tied all four of them together in a tight knot, pressed their faces down, and took four clear photos. The two who were slowly regaining consciousness were then exposed to a bright flash of light and fainted again.
The police sirens grew closer. The other two finally felt fear: "It was Wang Luyao. A Wang Luyao told us to do it. Please let us go and go find him."
Even if a few more come, I can still beat them—I'm a genius.
(The host's fluctuations are too large. Should the main program disconnect?)
Before Xi Xinxin lost consciousness, she heard a buzzing sound and a familiar voice: "Disconnect."
It was the voice of her good friend, Chu Quanyi.
She woke up again in a pristine white room. There were six people surrounding her.
Xi Dai, Yu Shuwen, Xu Chacha, Ji Nianya, Mei Qing, and Jiang Moli.
Mei Qing and Xu Chacha's eyes were swollen and red beyond recognition.
"Xinxin, they've all been arrested by the police. Even Wang Luyao has been arrested. Xinxin, are you alright?" Mei Qing saw Xi Xinxin collapse in a state of utter despair. She contacted her parents, and then many of her friends arrived.
She recounted what had happened. None of her friends blamed her, which only intensified her deep guilt. The doctor said Xi Xinxin was fine, but she had been unconscious for two whole days.
Xi Dai breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xin Xin was awake, and made a few phone calls: "Mom, Dad, Xin Xin is awake."
Xi Xinxin didn't speak. Looking at the people outside the window, she suddenly felt a strange feeling. It was the feeling of lost emotions returning. For the first time, she genuinely wanted to hug them. Not out of a desire to raise children, nor out of a protective instinct towards women, but out of a desire to feel the joy of receiving care from others.
The group was inexplicably hugged by Xi Xinxin, but they were still happy that she had woken up. The doctor simply said it was due to excessive stress.
Xi Dai lightly flicked her forehead without saying anything.
Mei Qing stayed at the rear of the group. Xu Chacha noticed this and leaned closer to her, saying, "I was also saved by Xin Xin. I was terrified when someone came to rob me. Look at that short-haired girl in front of you. She was also saved by Xi Xin Xin. What kind of savior is she?"
Mei Qing finally laughed: "Yes, she is our savior."
After everyone asked Xi Xinxin about her condition and confirmed that everything was alright, they went their separate ways.
Jiang Moli raised his phone as they parted. It was a friend request.

"I have something to say. Do you want to know now or later?"
"I'll come find you then."
"good"
The adoptive parents and biological parents cooked a big meal together to celebrate Xi Xinxin's discharge from the hospital. Xi's father pretended to cough and said, "Don't do such dangerous things next time. You can tell us if you want to."
Xi's mother patted Xi's father again: "Stop lecturing, let's eat. Everyone's eating."
