Chapter 44 A Sudden Apology
He Xilou's unique voice gently caressed her eardrums, completely disrupting all her thoughts.
Meng Shiyi's pupils shrank and her brain froze for a few seconds. For a moment, she couldn't even hear any sound around her.
...little princess?
Her heart seemed to be tightly gripped by someone, and then suddenly loosened, gradually spreading to fine and gentle ripples that spread to every cell in her body.
Meng Shiyi's throat was dry. After whispering "bye", she immediately closed the car door and ran away.
He Xiluo rolled down the car window and stared at her back as she walked into the school nonchalantly.
The girl's steps were brisk. As she walked, she suddenly turned around, stood on tiptoe in his direction, waved obediently, and then turned and left.
He Xilou was in a trance for a few seconds, his eyes slightly narrowed, and laughter slowly overflowed from his chest.
He didn't raise the car window until the slender and petite figure disappeared around the corner.
The car was still filled with a faint scent of perfume, but it suddenly became lonely, dull, and uninteresting, as if something was suddenly missing.
He Xilou glanced at the now empty passenger seat, picked up a cigarette from the side, and lit the lighter with a "click".
A hint of scarlet light quietly appeared in the dimness, mixed with the smell of nicotine. Amidst the smoke, the man's obscure and deep expression could not be seen clearly.
After thinking for a long time, He Xilou took out his cell phone, opened the dialog box, and said in a cold voice:
"Send me the surveillance video from the stage dressing room tonight."
Meng Shiyi returned to the dormitory with red ears and a faint burning in her heart.
Xu Qingqing and Sheng Wan checked her face thoroughly and were completely relieved only after confirming that there were no obvious marks left.
Xu Qingqing pinched her soft cheeks: "You're going to scare me to death. How could such a beautiful face suddenly become allergic?"
Sheng Wan nodded repeatedly: "Fortunately, you didn't have an allergic reaction while performing on stage, otherwise the whole school would have seen it."
Meng Shiyi lowered her eyes and thought for a long time, and fragments of the time before going on stage flashed back in her mind:
The unusual and guilty expression of the senior sister when she was putting makeup on her, Lin Shuang bumping into her in a smug and provocative manner...
If she hadn't realized something was wrong in time and removed her makeup just before going on stage, she would have had allergic symptoms while reciting on the stage.
Meng Shiyi wasn't sure if it was true, but she had a rough idea in her mind. She just hadn't figured out how to find the evidence.
Maybe it was because of the IV drip, she was extremely tired and her head was still groggy. She fell into a deep sleep as soon as she got into bed.
The next day, Monday, Meng Shiyi had a full class schedule and was busy from morning to night, leaving her with little free time.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Sheng Wan just received a notice:
"Yes, I heard that our dormitory might have a new person moving in soon. He's moving from another dormitory, and we're still waiting for the college's approval."
Imperial University usually has four-person dormitories, which are randomly assigned, but since the start of school, there have always been three people in their dormitory.
Xu Qingqing's eyes were filled with excitement: "Wow! That's great, with another sister, our dormitory will be more lively, hehe~"
Meng Shiyi didn't react to her roommate's discussion and was still thinking about her allergies.
There were a few "knock knocks" and unexpected knocks on the door.
Meng Shiyi went to open the door, and when she saw the person standing in front of her, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
Lin Shuang was standing outside the door, wearing a very ordinary T-shirt. Her face was rarely made up, extremely plain, even a little pale.
Her lips trembled, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes. She didn't know what she was afraid of, but suddenly she bowed deeply and apologized:
"Meng Shiyi, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have targeted you out of jealousy, nor should I have instructed others to tamper with the foundation you used for your performance, causing you to have an allergic reaction and go to the hospital."
"I'm really... so sorry! I've fully realized my mistake and I promise I won't make it again!"
When she raised her face, her eyes were filled with crystal tears, and she looked pitiful:
"You will forgive me, right? Please forgive me... You are so kind and generous, you will definitely forgive me, right?"
Faced with the sudden apology, Meng Shiyi took a step back, a little stunned.
After a few brief encounters, Lin Shuang's domineering image was almost etched into her bones. She had always been proud and conceited, and her tone was always full of sarcasm and belittlement.
Even if I really confronted her, she would definitely deny it. I didn't expect that she would come to my house and apologize on her own initiative.
Sheng Wan and Xu Qingqing also sat in a daze, with melon seeds falling all over the floor.
Meng Shiyi didn't know why Lin Shuang suddenly changed and apologized like a different person, her tone was calm:
"I hope you truly realize your mistake and won't make it again. I hope you can correct it."
"but--"
Meng Shiyi changed the subject: "I'm not willing to forgive you."
Not all apologies will be forgiven. She has her own bottom line. She is not that saintly, nor that easy to talk to.
If it was just a verbal quarrel, she could choose to forgive her, but if he really did touch her, she wouldn't be so generous and tolerant.
Lin Shuang tightly grasped the phone that was currently on the line, and her expression suddenly changed.
She was like a madman, grabbing Meng Shiyi's wrist viciously and screaming:
"No, Meng Shiyi, you must forgive me! Please, tell me you forgive me!"
Meng Shiyi keenly sensed that something was wrong.
She sighed, feeling a little regretful: "It seems that you don't really realize your mistake, and you only come to apologize to me out of necessity."
After saying that, Meng Shiyi pulled Lin Shuang's hand away and closed the door without hesitation, isolating her outside.
The other two people in the dormitory were already stunned.
Sheng Wan finally reacted, "Fuck! I remember you told me that Lin Shuang was involved in the competition for the C position. I didn't expect that she wouldn't give in and wanted to make you look bad in public because of your allergies!"
Xu Qingqing stood up angrily: "Ahhh, this is too vicious!"
After saying that, Xu Qingqing picked up the broom in her left hand and the mop in her right hand, as if she was going to fight:
"Damn it! This vicious woman, I'm going to kill her!"
"Wait," Sheng Wan stopped Xu Qingqing in time, "check the forum first, there's a big news!"
Meng Shiyi opened her phone and saw a post on the forum that instantly became popular on the homepage.
[Evidence and proof! Uncovering the true face of Hua Linshuang, the broadcasting department's professor] [Hot]
It includes Lin Shuang's past shameful behavior: taking private photos of poor girls at an international school and threatening them when she was in high school; relying on her family connections and cheating on exams to win awards in national competitions.
And there was a recording of a senior schoolmate, who said that just the day before yesterday, Lin Shuang instigated her to put something in other girls' cosmetics.
The evidence was so conclusive that the recordings were even subjected to forensic examination.
Within a dozen minutes, the comments below had exploded, instantly reaching hundreds of floors:
[Oh my god… why are you taking private photos of girls and threatening them? That’s so vicious!]
The more I read, the more horrified I become. Those students whose exam papers were swapped are truly pitiful. They worked so hard for three years to prepare for the exam, only to have someone else do them a disservice...
Is she crazy? Adding stuff to someone else's makeup? She's not going to poison me next time, is she? Get the hell out of Imperial University! There's actually someone this horrible in our school. I faint.
[This is so funny! Didn't Lin Shuang used to portray herself as a kind and gentle person? This is really disgusting...]
[Huh? This woman is one of He Xilou's ex-girlfriends? Wasn't she praised as the "campus beauty goddess" on the forum back then?]
[This is truly terrifying. The thought of this person being in the same major as me and taking the same classes as me is terrifying, even if I only think about it briefly... [vomit]]
[Oh my god, I actually added her WeChat and blocked her overnight, I’m afraid she’ll kill me one day]
Xu Qingqing and Sheng Wan became more and more shocked the more they watched.
Meng Shiyi lowered her eyes.
The whole thing went smoothly. In just one day, Lin Shuang apologized and revealed her past.
It's like it was planned.
Meng Shiyi is not a fool, she can clearly feel that someone is helping her secretly.
She pursed her lips, opened the chat dialog box on her phone, and edited the message for a long time before sending it:
[Brother Xilou, did you ask her to come and apologize to me? ]
