Chapter 78 The Only Light

Xu Yuan stood among them, listening to their humiliating and mocking words. His dreams of college life and making new friends were shattered in an instant.

She tried hard to suppress the dull pain in her heart that felt like being hit by a hammer, and still said thank you to her roommate who moved all her things away.

She untied her red, white and blue plastic bag and took out the washed white sheets and pillowcases, which were carefully prepared for her by her grandfather...

"Oh my god, where does this weird smell come from? It smells like a garbage dump."

Luo Jia covered his nose and looked at the bed sheet that Xu Yuan was holding in his hands with a sarcastic look.

"There is no strange smell. It is all washed cleanly. You can smell the scent of detergent and sunshine. It smells so good."

He smelled it and naively offered it to Luo Jia.

Luo Jia angrily flipped over her bed sheet, kicked it, and frowned.

"It's so disgusting. Who wants to smell your sheets? They are full of your disgusting smell. Stay away from me."

"Student Li, is this fat guy from your village always this funny?"

Tian Man lowered her head from the upper shop and asked KK who was working on the lower shop.

KK's face was full of disdain. "Even people in the same village are divided into different classes. My father is the village chief, and she was raised by a street vendor. How can we compare them?"

Xu Yuan squatted down with difficulty to pick up her own bed sheet, tears falling from her eyes. She was not fat when she was a child, but because she had an illness and took a lot of hormone medicine, she became fat and could not lose weight anymore.

Grandpa said that she is not fat, but blessed...

"Hey, you're not crying, are you?"

Luo Jia watched her wipe her eyes with her hands, squatted beside her and laughed at her face.

"Honestly, what do you eat at home? How can you get so fat?"

"I'm not fat, I'm..."

She subconsciously wanted to explain, but Luo Jia interrupted her.

"If I were this fat, I wouldn't have the face to live. I really admire your mental endurance."

"You...you're going too far."

After holding it in for a long time, I finally uttered these harsh words that didn't hurt or itch.

"It's not easy for her to support a college student in her family's financial situation. You must study hard and at least graduate."

KK added fuel to the fire, causing her roommates to laugh at her again.

Xu Yuan clenched his fists and asked Bai Youyou unwillingly, "What did I do wrong? She said all kinds of bad things about me in front of my roommates just to make herself look more beautiful. She was full of malice before we even met. In the end, I died, but she is still alive and well. Why?"

Bai Youyou looked at her coldly, "If you had the confidence to question me like you do now when we first met, you wouldn't have been bullied by them so badly."

"People stepped on your head, but you chose to be angry instead of being angry. What were you afraid of? You couldn't fight when you were a human, so you have to become a ghost to take revenge? You are still a coward!"

Xu Yuan was stunned. She understood what Bai Youyou said. She clenched her fists even tighter and became even more emotional. "My grandpa worked so hard to let me go to school. I can't cause trouble as soon as I get to school."

"So you just keep giving in, and what's the result..."

"You have this desire for revenge now, it's nothing more than regretting that you died, but the person who hurt you is alive and well. You lost your life in vain. When you committed suicide, why didn't you think about the difficulties your grandfather had."

Xu Yuan's clenched fist gradually dropped, and he was filled with powerlessness and resentment. "I also want to persevere, but I think the four years in college have been the hardest days of my life."

"They spread rumors about me in class, saying that I was unhygienic and didn't wash my underwear and socks for a month. Do you know what my classmates said about me behind my back? They said I had a lot of dirty viruses and was contagious. I wanted to explain to them, but they didn't even give me a chance to get close to them."

"It was as if I was a plague. I had no friends in school. Even the teacher believed the rumor. My seat was arranged alone at the back of the classroom next to the garbage dump..."

"I once questioned her alone, but she told me calmly that it was just a joke and asked me not to take it seriously. Her casual joke made my four years in college miserable. You know, when I walked downstairs to the dormitory, I was drenched in footwashing water every day. I went to the dormitory auntie, and she looked disgusted and asked me why she didn't drench others but only drench me, and asked me to pay more attention to hygiene..."

As he was talking, Xu Yuan laughed at himself, "Can you imagine that I have to carry an umbrella every day? Winter is no exception. People judge people by their appearance. No matter what I say to her, everyone chooses to believe her."

Xu Yuan looked at KK who was unconscious on the bed, his eyes full of hatred.

"Every day I struggled to climb onto the bed, and was ridiculed. You can understand that I had to endure the ridicule every time I opened my eyes. In order to avoid climbing up and down frequently, at noon in the dormitory, they slept on the bed and I lay on the table. I didn't dare to drink much water during the day, for fear of having to pee at night..."

Bai Youyou listened to her past and glanced at KK on the bed with disgust. It was really hateful to create rumors and lead them to easily ruin a person's life. She deserved this disaster, but it should not be driven by a wish.

"Since I was isolated, I focused on studying hard, turning my sadness into motivation and not letting myself down. But I never thought that we would meet again. On the eve of graduation, I was assigned to the same design company as her for internship..."

"I didn't want her to ruin my future so easily, so I worked harder than anyone else in the company and was kind and polite to everyone. After all, a company is a place to do things. As long as you are good enough, there will always be opportunities to be discovered. My design drafts always appear on the preliminary list, while Li Qionghua is always eliminated."

"Over time, her mind moved to other things. She began to seduce the company's senior executives and used her background to suppress and humiliate me, so that my manuscripts could not even enter the preliminary selection. She even stole the manuscripts and passed them off as her own. After a series of incidents, my supervisor began to question my ability and talked to me."

"She is a strong woman with a distinct personality and clear rewards and punishments. She would give me opportunities because of my outstanding performance, but she would also reprimand me mercilessly for my mistakes. I like people like her, at least they are open about it. I told her directly that someone used their background to make my manuscript fail the selection and then stole it without anyone noticing..."

"My supervisor was willing to give me a chance to send my first draft to her privately before the next design draft pre-selection to verify whether this draft would be used by others in the pre-selection process..."

Xu Yuan frankly said, "This supervisor was the only light in my hopeless and gloomy life during those few years. Unfortunately..."
