Xu Zhe suddenly stood up, his face dark and his eyes filled with intense emotions. "Even if she held a knife to my neck, I wouldn't look at her twice, let alone apologize to her."
Yi Tianran gently rested her chin on her long, slender, white fingers and said casually, "So, you didn't intend to rape her."
Xu Zhe paused, then looked down at her: "You believe me?"
A sharp glint flashed in Yi Tianran's clear eyes: "I've seen that video. If I'm not mistaken, you were drugged back then, weren't you?"
She watched the video three times later and, with the keen observation skills of a master detective, realized that Xu Zhe in the video was in a state of mental confusion.
Finally, the most direct possibility came to mind.
Only when given the strongest drugs will a person's animalistic nature be triggered.
An unprecedented and overwhelming surge of emotion welled up in Xu Zhe's heart in an instant.
After that incident, his parents refused to believe him. Even though they didn't say anything, the disappointment in their eyes was the most direct expression of their feelings.
Even Brother Qilin didn't ask him for the truth. Instead, he patted him on the shoulder and told him: "Stay away from those monster-like women in the future, and never provoke them again."
Then they processed his transfer and sent him to Linghua College.
But the seeds of gloom had already been sown, and from then on he built a defense line in his heart, staying away from all people and hiding himself away like a lone wolf.
If it weren't for wanting to repay Brother Qilin for his help over the years, he would have even considered dropping out of school.
But now, this girl in front of him, whom he had only known for a short time and with whom he had even had misunderstandings and unpleasantness, was willing to believe him and even saw through the truth in a single sentence.
Xu Zhe was deeply shaken and couldn't calm down for a long time. He lowered his eyes to suppress his emotions, his voice dry and hoarse: "Yes, she drugged my water and then asked me to go to the multimedia classroom under Li Kai's name. When I found out, I felt weak and aroused, but I restrained myself. I didn't want to touch her. She tore her clothes herself and left marks on her body..."
In front of Yi Tianran, he revealed the truth from two years ago without reservation.
"That woman is ruthless. She's willing to sacrifice her own reputation just to get back at you." Yi Tianran clicked her tongue twice, then asked, "Did she ever pursue you, only to be rejected without hesitation?"
That's why he held a grudge and did this.
Isn't this a bit too crazy?
“Yes.” Xu Zhe leaned against the wall, looking annoyed. “The first time I saw her was as Li Kai’s girlfriend. Later, she made physical contact with me intentionally or unintentionally, which made me feel very uncomfortable, but I was afraid it was just my imagination.”
Until one time when we went out drinking together, she got drunk and tried to kiss me, but I pushed her away forcefully, telling her to have some self-respect.
But Zhou Weiwei didn't stop at all. After this experience, she became even more persistent in clinging to him. Even though she had a boyfriend, she was still unscrupulous.
Out of consideration for Li Kai's feelings, he did not tell the other party.
Until one day, when she accidentally kissed his cheek, he couldn't hold back any longer and cursed Zhou Weiwei fiercely, "A shameless bitch like you, I would never look at you even if I were blind. Your touch only disgusts me. I would rather die than be with you."
After he made those harsh words, Zhou Weiwei never bothered him again.
Unexpectedly, a month after letting his guard down, he was ruthlessly outmaneuvered and fell into a quagmire from which he could not get up.
"So that's how it is." Yi Tianran's eyes flickered slightly. "It seems you should never underestimate a woman's vengeful nature!"
“I will never apologize for something I didn’t do.” Xu Zhe said wearily, “Let her sue! At worst, she’ll go to jail, I don’t care.”
"Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe there's still room for things to turn around!" Yi Tianran's lips curled into a meaningful smile, and she already had a plan in mind.
...
7:45 PM.
There were still 15 minutes left until the time Zhou Weiwei had set.
She excitedly spun her phone, waiting for the final moment to arrive.
Until the knocking sound rang out.
Zhou Weiwei put down her phone and went to open the door. A strange fragrance wafted in.
She sniffed twice, then came to her senses. When she saw who it was, a look of surprise flashed across her face. "Qingqing, what brings you here?"
"I heard that the aloof school heartthrob Xu Zhe is going to publicly apologize to you. How could I possibly miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Lin Qingqing smiled innocently. "Sister Weiwei, why didn't you tell me about this great show! We were able to conspire together to ruin Xu Zhe's reputation back then, why are you leaving me out now?"
"Keep your voice down," Zhou Weiwei warned in a low voice.
"What does it matter? There are no outsiders here anyway." Lin Qingqing grabbed Zhou Weiwei's wrist and said excitedly, "I want to see Xu Zhe grovel at your feet this time, willingly becoming your toy!"
Zhou Weiwei, however, was not as optimistic: "With his arrogant personality, he might not necessarily compromise."
"Why does he act so superior! You've been in the same school as him since junior high, yet he's completely forgotten about you..." Lin Qingqing seemed indignant on her behalf, "Is it really worth sacrificing your reputation for someone like him?"
“It’s not a matter of whether it’s worth it or not, it’s just a matter of whether I’m willing.” Zhou Weiwei seemed to be reminded of her memories by her words. “From the year I first fell in love, when I first saw him, I was deeply attracted to him. But in junior high, high school… I was so close to him, I wrote him hundreds of love letters, and I finally mustered up the courage to confess, but he threw all the love letters away and crushed all my love under his feet. From that day on, I vowed that I must win his attention and make him fall at my feet.”
"So you deliberately approached Li Kai in college because you knew he was friends with Xu Zhe!"
“Yes! The sad thing is, he only looked at me properly now, simply because I'm his brother's woman.” Zhou Weiwei clenched her fists in resentment, her eyes bloodshot, her gaze sharp and piercing. “I tried every way to seduce him, but he remained unmoved. Later, when I kissed him while drunk, he pushed me away as if I were a monster! He could have chosen not to say anything to avoid hurting his brother, but why couldn't he accept me? Was my love for him so worthless? Why did he say those cruel and humiliating things to me…”
He forced me to do this! He'd rather die than be with me, so I'll drag him down from his high place to hell, making everyone think he's a beast in human clothing, actually humiliating my best brother's woman!
