Li Xiaolan, who said she was going out to eat, would not obediently go to eat. She had other important business to attend to – finding Wei Zechen.
After all, the couple you ship is the only one you can protect!
However, Li Xiaolan did not have Wei Zechen's contact information.
Therefore, she had to go through a series of acquaintances to arrange a meeting with him under the guise of Huo Jinning.
Originally, Wei Zechen was in a rather depressed mood after returning to his dormitory.
He didn't want to talk about this with others; he could only think about it silently on his own.
Unexpectedly, not long after he returned to his dormitory, someone told him that Huo Jinxin had come looking for him.
This made Wei Zechen extremely happy. He was so excited that he didn't even have time to change his shoes and ran out in his slippers.
However, when he arrived at the dormitory building, he only saw a strange girl and looked around but could not find Huo Jinxin.
The corners of his mouth, which had been turned up, instantly disappeared.
"Wei Zechen, stop looking for her. Xin Xin didn't come; I'm the one looking for you."
Li Xiaolan stared at Wei Zechen's ever-changing expressions, which resembled the face-changing act in Sichuan opera, and couldn't help but feel a little amused.
Although Wei Zechen appears to be sunny, cheerful, and has a bright smile, he is actually a famous, aloof male god on campus, and difficult to approach.
Many girls on campus were infatuated with him and longed to get his contact information, but to no avail; even if someone managed to get his private number, they were unable to get him to accept their friend request.
That's why Li Xiaolan is so fixated on the relationship between Wei Zechen and Huo Jinxin.
At this moment, Wei Zechen remained silent, his face full of anger, and turned to leave.
He thought he would see Huo Jinxin again, but it turned out to be a scam. If it weren't for his own self-restraint and the fact that the other party was a girl, Wei Zechen would probably have lost his temper and cursed her.
"Wei Zechen, wait a minute. I'm Xinxin's roommate. Don't you want to know something about her? If not, then forget it."
Seeing that Wei Zechen was about to leave, Li Xiaolan anxiously called out to him.
As expected, Wei Zechen stopped and slowly turned around, staring at Li Xiaolan with a doubtful look in his eyes, trying to determine whether what she said was true.
"Come with me. There are too many people here. It's really not a place to talk."
After hearing this, Wei Zechen hesitated for a moment, but when he thought that this matter concerned Huo Jinxin, he finally stepped forward and followed.
The two arrived at a relatively secluded place. Although there were still a few people around, it was much better than before.
"Did you bully Xin Xin?" As soon as she stood still, Li Xiaolan asked bluntly.
What do you mean by that?
Wei Zechen looked at Li Xiaolan blankly, clearly confused by her question.
"What do you mean? Isn't it because you bullied Xin Xin that she's so sad and upset?" Li Xiaolan glared at her and retorted angrily.
"I really don't know! We were fine last Friday, but who knew things would turn out like this on Monday. I greeted her, but she ignored me completely." Wei Zechen helplessly spread his hands, his face full of frustration.
"You say you don't know the situation? Didn't you two have an argument?" Li Xiaolan asked, still somewhat doubtful.
"Hmm, no, how could I argue with her? We've only just met..." Wei Zechen murmured to himself.
Hearing this, Li Xiaolan was quite surprised: "That's strange." She had thought the two were just a couple in the throes of new love having a little tiff, so she had come specifically to ask what was going on. If it was just a misunderstanding, she could mediate. But she hadn't expected that they hadn't even argued yet.
"Think back carefully, isn't it really because of something you said that angered Xin Xin?" Li Xiaolan pressed.
Wei Zechen frowned and replied with a bitter face, "I've been thinking about this problem over and over again, but I really can't figure out which part went wrong."
His voice revealed a hint of frustration and helplessness, as if he were shrouded in an invisible pressure.
“Now that you mention it, she’s right. When Xin Xin and I parted last Friday, she seemed to be in a good mood, with a bright smile on her face, as if she had lit up the whole world. But did you two contact each other over the weekend?” Li Xiaolan analyzed thoughtfully.
Wei Zechen shook his head and replied helplessly, "She didn't say anything special, she just said she was going to her maternal grandfather's house."
"After that, I heard nothing more from her. I thought she was busy with family matters. She finally got to go home for the weekend, so she probably wanted to spend some quality time with her family. That's why I didn't dare to bother her too much. Who knew that when I saw her today, she would be like this..."
Li Xiaolan frowned, as if she was trying to think about something.
After a moment, she murmured to herself, "So it seems something must have happened at Xin Xin's family? Perhaps we can start by investigating from that angle."
After saying that, she turned to leave.
Seeing this, Wei Zechen quickly called out to her, "Wait, if anything happens to Xin Xin, please let me know as soon as possible."
Li Xiaolan nodded and gave an OK sign to indicate that she understood.
Then he left in a hurry, leaving Wei Zechen alone in the spot, stunned.
He stood there quietly, his mind replaying every detail about Huo Jinxin, but he couldn't make sense of it.
What could have caused Huo Jinning to suddenly become so cold and distant towards him?
This question had been troubling Wei Zechen, causing him to ponder it deeply but never finding an answer.
As time ticked by, Wei Zechen felt increasingly helpless and confused.
Finally, he sighed deeply and decided to put aside his questions for the time being and go back to his dormitory.
Wei Zechen had no appetite and didn't even bother to eat lunch.
Despite having classes in the afternoon, he was completely out of it, his thoughts already far away.
He spent the entire afternoon in a daze.
At dinner, Wei Zechen ate a few bites and then returned to his dormitory to rest.
His friends had invited him to play ball, but he had no interest at all and just wanted to be alone.
As night fell, Wei Zechen tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Everything that happened during the day kept flashing through his mind, especially Huo Jinning's sudden change in attitude, which made him even more upset.
He tried to figure out why, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became...
