Chapter 138 It’s unfair!
Cheng Xuezhou's cell phone rolled on the ground a few times and slid to Ling Xiao's feet.
Ling Xiao looked down at the phone on the ground.
The phone's screen had gone dark. I didn't know if it was broken by the fall, or if it hit the lock screen button when it fell. Anyway, the screen was now pitch black, reflecting Ling Xiao's helpless face.
Seeing Cheng Xuezhou so angry and furious, he felt a little sorry for him and wanted to comfort him. But Cheng Xuezhou's fall... made him think of the photo of Cheng Xuezhou's hideous face that was leaked by the marketing account before, and he stopped in his tracks.
The dormitory was eerily quiet for a moment, with only Cheng Xuezhou's heavy breathing echoing. Ling Xiao felt hesitant about whether to leave or not...
Fortunately, Ling Xiao didn't feel embarrassed for too long, because the noise of dropping the phone was so loud that it attracted the attention of the trainees in the surrounding dormitories. They came over and knocked on the door to ask what happened.
Ling Xiao glanced at Cheng Xuezhou, who was facing the corner with his chest heaving violently, wondering what he was thinking, and could only go and open the door himself.
"Nothing happened..."
He smiled awkwardly at the other trainees. Ling Xiao actually knew that these trainees were there to watch the fun. After all, whether Cheng Xuezhou, the top star in their company, or Cheng Xuezhou himself, was in trouble, the matter was on the hot search list... Any trainee with a cell phone would probably know about it.
However, Ling Xiao still considerately helped Cheng Xuezhou find a decent excuse: "It's just that Cheng Xuezhou accidentally knocked something over when he got out of bed, and it hit the ground with a bit of a noise..."
He also apologized to the trainees who were disturbed: "I'm sorry for disturbing you..."
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay..."
The trainees gathered at the door quickly waved their hands.
They had heard the noise and came over to take a look, and see if there was anything exciting to see.
In the end, since Ling Xiao had already said so and apologized politely, they felt too embarrassed to stand there and watch the fun. They could only peek into the room one last time before leaving, then offer a few fake words of comfort before leaving.
When the people in the front row left, the people in the back row were revealed.
——Xia Linxing was stretching her neck and standing on tiptoe to look into Ling Xiao and his roommates’ dormitory.
It wasn't that Xia Linxing was desperate to see the joke; he simply...had no idea what was going on. He'd just gotten up early, washed up, and was on his way to the cafeteria when he saw a crowd of people gathered at the entrance to the dormitory. Out of curiosity, he went over to take a look and join in the fun.
When he got there, people had already gathered. Each one of them was taller and stronger than him. He could only stretch his neck and stand on tiptoe from the outside, trying to see a little of the scene.
He arrived at an inopportune time. Ling Xiao had already finished explaining things on Cheng Xuezhou's behalf, and the trainees ahead, seeing there was nothing more exciting to see, had already begun to turn around and leave. So when Xia Linxing got there, not only did he not see anything, he didn't even get to hear what was going on before everyone started to leave.
This feeling that everyone had tasted the melon except him... was very subtle, so Xia Linxing, who should have left with them, did not leave immediately. Instead, he stubbornly looked towards Ling Xiao and the others' dormitory, trying to use his intelligence to restore the truth!
Who would have thought that Ling Xiao and his friends' room was pitch black, with not even a light on! Xia Linxing only saw a dark mass. Before he could carefully distinguish whether it was a person or a standing clothes rack, he heard Ling Xiao ask him, "Is there anything else, Xia Linxing?"
"Ah..." Xia Linxing scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He was about to say that he was fine and was about to leave, but Cheng Xuezhou, who had been motionless in the room like a human clothes hanger, suddenly moved like a robot that had triggered the keyword.
He strode towards the door.
"Xia! Lin! Xing!"
"Ah?" Xia Linxing turned his head in confusion, but suddenly felt his neck tighten - Cheng Xuezhou actually grabbed Xia Linxing's collar at the dormitory door, in front of all the trainees and cameras in the corridor, and pulled Xia Linxing over viciously.
The moment he heard the words "Xia Linxing" from Ling Xiao's mouth, Cheng Xuezhou, who was originally immersed in his own thoughts, felt as if a lightning bolt had split his chaotic brain apart. He felt that all his previous doubts had been answered at this moment -
All of this was done by Xia Linxing (who hired someone)!
Why did that marketing account use the words "another individual trainee who also has a cute style lost his ranking due to the last hot search incident, so this 'little angel' trainee took advantage of him and successfully advanced" when hinting at his identity? Because this is Xia Linxing's revenge!
Apart from the company responsible for the incident, only Xia Linxing, the wrongly accused "victim", would investigate the truth of the incident.
However, after finding out the truth, Xia Linxing still pretended to be confused and innocent, as if he knew nothing, which made him completely let down his guard!
What a good trick!
Compared to this method, it is not surprising that Xia Linxing can find photos that he has never seen before... After all, it is usually not until he debuts that the company will pay to help him collect them and solve the troubles that have been buried in the past. So as long as Xia Linxing is willing to check a little and spend a little... a little money, he can buy the photos.
It's a shame that he was still gloating about how he had tricked Xia Linxing, and Xia Linxing hadn't even noticed...
Maybe Xia Linxing had already noticed the abnormality of the allergy incident, and during the investigation, he found the cause of the previous hot search incident and took revenge on it.
The last piece of the puzzle was perfectly put into place, and all the events were connected at this moment.
"Your acting skills...are really good!"
Cheng Xuezhou tugged at Xia Linxing's collar viciously, his knuckles turning white from the force, and looked at Xia Linxing as if he wanted to eat him alive.
Even he was deceived by Xia Linxing at the beginning.
"You have such good, natural acting skills..." He gritted his teeth in resentment, "Why are you still working so hard as a trainee here?"
"Wouldn't it be better to shine in the field (acting) where you excel?"
ah?
Xia Linxing was already stunned when Cheng Xuezhou suddenly and roughly pulled her over by her collar.
He stared at Cheng Xuezhou blankly, and for a moment he forgot to free his collar from Cheng Xuezhou's hands.
Cheng Xuezhou...what happened?
Wasn't he fine yesterday? Still feeling guilty about the allergy, she even came over and apologized warmly. The two of them had a cordial, apologetic, "you apologize, I forgive" interaction, and finally parted ways peacefully.
Why is it that today... Cheng Xuezhou has changed his face?
And what Cheng Xuezhou said... Xia Linxing was really embarrassed to tell Cheng Xuezhou -
He didn't understand.
What "acting skills", what "good tricks", what "he (Cheng Xuezhou) was deceived at the beginning"... Xia Linxing felt that he was wronged: he hasn't lied to anyone recently!
Seeing that the evidence (Cheng Xuezhou's self-admitted version) was right in front of him, Xia Linxing still pretended to be ignorant and innocent to deceive people. Cheng Xuezhou felt the blood rushing to his head.
"You're still pretending!"
The blood was beating against his eardrums, and the pulse, faster and stronger than ever before, overwhelmed Cheng Xuezhou's sanity bit by bit. He completely forgot that this was in the corridor of the trainee dormitory, and also forgot about the cameras in the corridor. One fist was already raised high, and his tense muscles were filled with all his hatred for Xia Linxing, and he was about to hit her.
"Cheng Xuezhou!"
"Cheng Xuezhou, what are you doing?!"
"Cheng Xuezhou, stop it!"
The corridor exploded the moment Cheng Xuezhou raised his fist.
"Pull them apart!"
Several hands reached out from the side at the same time, some hugging the waist, some grabbing the arms; a few more people hurriedly inserted themselves between the two people, trying to use their bodies as partitions.
The sounds of persuasion, exclamations, and footsteps were mixed together in a chaotic manner, and the corridor suddenly became a mess.
"If you have anything to say, please say it nicely, Cheng Xuezhou! This is a civilized show!" No violence allowed!
"That's right, why can't we talk it out calmly? Xia Linxing just came back from the hospital! He's still a patient who just recovered!"
"Fighting will result in disqualification! Cheng Xuezhou! Calm down!"
"Yeah, yeah, it's already the fourth public performance! The finals are almost here, and being disqualified at this point would be a huge loss!"
"Final? Haha... Final?!" Cheng Xuezhou was pulled by the crowd, like a trapped beast that was held down tightly, breathing heavily, but his eyes still penetrated the wall of people in front of him and were fixed on Xia Linxing's face that made him hate her.
"What's the point of the finals now that I'm in this situation?!"
"Haha! My fans are almost gone! Haha! I worked so hard to participate in the show, and all those fans I managed to accumulate, haha... they're all going to be gone hahahahahaha!"
"And all this... was done by Xia Linxing!"
"This is his revenge!"
Cheng Xuezhou's eyes were filled with undisguised viciousness, like two poisoned knives, nailed firmly into Xia Linxing's body.
"You dare not take responsibility for what you did?! Ah! Xia Linxing!"
"Speak up! Xia Linxing!"
But the person being stared at had an even more confused look on his face.
"You said 'revenge'?"
From the beginning until now, even after hearing that the boss was so difficult, Xia Linxing still didn't understand what Cheng Xuezhou was angry about.
"Since you said it was 'revenge', you must have done something to me first before I can 'retaliate' against you, right?"
"otherwise……"
Xia Linxing asked Xuezhou sincerely, "Can you tell me what you did first?"
Cheng Xuezhou's desperate struggle came to a halt.
