Chapter 33: Youth Campus Chapter 6

  Su Luo had previously seen Yan Yu being so good to Zhou Xiao Meng, and there were also classmates in the class who were spreading rumors about the two of them, but they all deceived themselves into not believing it, comforting themselves that it was just a classmate relationship. But now she really couldn't help but believe it.

  From the moment she knew what had happened downstairs, she hid under the bed curtain alone, hugging her doll and plugging in her earphones, hoping to block out all external sounds and her own heartache. Fortunately, she had calmed down for a while and was somewhat psychologically prepared, so she didn't burst into loud sobs and lose face.

  "Suluo, your male god was splashed with a basin of cold water by Zhou Xiaomeng and became a wet chicken, why don't you go take a look!"

  The curtain was suddenly lifted, and the light outside was a bit strong, making her feel uncomfortable for a moment. She composed herself, took off one of her earphones: "What's up?"

  The roommate who feared that the world would not be chaotic repeated again: "Yan Yu was poured a basin of cold water by Zhou Xiaomeng, and got completely soaked."

  "Serves her right." She muttered under her breath, then put on her headphones and continued listening to music.

  Originally didn't want to intervene, thinking it's none of my business, don't get involved. But couldn't hold on for 5 minutes, body somehow disobeyed and slipped out of bed, wearing slippers to the window.

  She and Zhou Xiaomeng's room were adjacent, from this angle, Yan Yu looked like he had just been fished out of the water, his whole body was wet, and he was shivering in the cold wind of the first month.

  "Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!" After a string of sneezes, he finally regained some composure and stared foolishly at Zhou Xiaomeng, seemingly unable to believe what had just happened: "Why did you splash me?"

  The childlike grievance combined with that still tender and handsome face made Zhou Xiaomeng's face flush and heart skip a beat, and she couldn't help but let out a "heh" of laughter.

  Su Luo stared at that smiling face, no matter how she looked at it, it didn't look right.

  You splashed water on people and still feel proud of it!

  Just then, there was still some water left in the mug on the table that had been cooled down earlier but not drunk. She picked it up and chuckled to herself twice before walking out of the room.

  I've never messed with girls before, Zhou Xiaomeng, but for you, I'll make an exception.

  It may be that the grievances in her stomach have been suppressed for too long and need to be vented, or it may be that seeing the male god so wretched has stimulated her, or perhaps it is because she has been thinking about someone who cannot be hers but was discarded like a worn-out shoe, causing psychological imbalance. In short, she walked behind Zhou Xiaomeng with rolling murderous aura.

  "Tomorrow we still have class, everyone has dispersed, Yan Yu you also rest early."

  It's like being slapped and then given a sweet date, Sulolo disdainfully rolled her eyes, how did I used to envy her, I was really blind.

  "Hey, Zhou Xiaomeng."

  Zhou Xiaomeng felt someone tap her shoulder and turned around:

  "Ah——!!!!!" ("Hiss——") At the same time, Zhou Xiaomeng's scream and the gasps of the people around her rang out. Because Su Luo had splashed water from the cup onto Zhou Xiaomeng's face and body, unfortunately, there wasn't much water to begin with, so it didn't have as grand an effect as Yan Qian's.

  "Class monitor, I'm learning from you properly." This is so cool!!!!!! How am I so awesome!!!!!!! It's really cool!!!!!

  She was actually overjoyed, and could hardly refrain from jumping up, but managed to control herself, coolly dropping a sentence before turning around and heading back to the dormitory. Anyway, with Zhou Xiaomeng's temperament, she would probably report it to the teacher instead of confronting her directly.

  She didn't guess wrong, Zhou Xiaomeng had always been treated like a princess and never suffered such grievances. At this time, she covered her face and cried as she ran back to the house, without doing anything else.

  Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, seeing Zhou Xiaomeng in such a sorry state, his previous anger and resentment turned into heartache, which then turned into anger, anger towards Su Luo.

  "Suluo, you're sick! Mind your own business! Next time if you dare to trouble Zhou Xiaomeng again, see if I'll let you off!"

  "You're sick! I'd like you? I'm sick too!" This was the first time she swore in front of Yan Yu, and she just couldn't help it.

  "Who cares if you like me, your liking only makes me sick!" Yan Yu also got angry and didn't leave any face. Although he had refused before, he would never say such harsh words, so Su Luo always thought she still had a chance and might be able to move him with more effort.

  "You, you...!" Su Luo originally still had a lot of momentum and wanted to scold back, but she failed several times. Yan Yu's words were really hurtful, hurting her so much that she was left speechless.

  Disgusting! It turns out that my liking for him for over a year is just disgusting in his eyes! Haha! Haha!

  She wanted to cry, loudly cry, and also laugh, loudly laugh at her own ignorance, and the ridiculousness of unrequited love.

  If the hand had any sensation, it would also be very painful. Su Luo was pinching herself to hold back her tears and not let them fall, as if that was her last support.

  "Suo Luo has gone too far, how can he splash Zhou Xiaomeng."

  "Yes, Zhou Xiaomeng is indeed meddling in Yan Shuai's business, it's really self-inflicted humiliation."

  "I heard she's been hanging out with those hoodlums in society, smoking and fighting and whatnot. How terrifying! Let's keep our distance from her from now on."

  "What a melodrama! I love you, but you don't love me, and you love her instead. Is this an idol drama?"

  "That female lead must be Zhou Xiaomeng, Su Luo is far inferior to her, didn't you see how determined and unwavering Yan Zhi is in standing by Zhou Xiaomeng's side?"

  "My mom was right, girls should love themselves, otherwise others will look down on you. Like Suoluo, I don't know how her parents taught her."

  “……”

  Every whisper around her was like a loud slap on Sulolo's face, making her humiliated and hurt.

  She wanted to escape, wanted to cover her ears, but was not willing to flee in such a sorry state, for that would be admitting she was wrong, admitting she didn't love herself, admitting she wasn't as good as Zhou Xiaomeng!

  No way! Absolutely not!

  To maintain her last dignity, she bit her lips tightly and didn't let tears fall. Whenever she heard someone gossiping, she glared at them fiercely until they shut up.

  I won't cry for you to see!!!

  The surroundings gradually fell silent. Many people were intimidated by her resolute expression and chose to remain silent.

  Yan Yu didn't continue to attack after his outburst and with the cold being severe, he directly called on a group of good friends beside him to retreat.

  The monkey thought Su Luo was a bit pitiful, and looked back several times with three steps, but the brother was more important, Yan Yu was still in a huff, so he quietly didn't make a sound.

  He didn't feel good about it, he had never thought that he had any thoughts about Su Luo, just always felt she was very pretty and his type. After receiving her towel and water bottle at the last sports meeting, he often found himself noticing her unconsciously, slowly discovering that she wasn't as bad as everyone said, but rather heartless, didn't know how to hide it, a silly big sister, occasionally still dazedly cute, but pretending to be fierce, thinking that would be cool, so people misunderstood.

  Watching her being so infatuated with Yan Yu and defending him, he was actually jealous in his heart, but also knew that he couldn't compare to others, whether it was family background or appearance. So he had never dared to hope that she would shift her gaze from Yan Yu to himself. But seeing Yan Yu hurt her like this, he really felt heartache and wanted to help her get justice back. Seeing so many people blaming her and misunderstanding her, he really wanted to defend her on her behalf. Watching her stubbornly holding back tears, he really wanted to pull her into his arms and let her have a good cry.

  But he can't, he's not qualified, to her he is nothing, at this time coming out will only add insult to injury, pushing her further into the storm of public opinion.

  So he chose silence and went back to the dormitory with everyone else.

  Sorry, Suoluo, I can do nothing for you. At this moment, he felt extremely powerless and had never felt such self-reproach and remorse.

  One day, if I become strong, give me a chance to protect you. He made a silent vow in his heart.

  The onlookers had all dispersed, but Su Luo still stood there like a statue, motionless in the corridor.

  She thought for a long time.

  From a young age, her wealthy father, Su Da Fu, was always busy with business and indulging in luxury, while her model mother only cared about playing mahjong and shopping, never to be seen. It can be said that she was raised freely, or rather, raised by money, with chefs, nannies, drivers, and gardeners helping her grow up smoothly until the age of 17, without ever feeling different from others, except for being slightly worse in school. But what could they do? Her family didn't have a strong foundation in education; neither her father nor mother had much culture. However, today's accusations about her upbringing made her doubt herself - was she really unloving and uncultured?

  No one had ever told her to be reserved, to smile without showing her teeth, that she couldn't openly express what she liked, and that she should be subtle. Her dad would only say: "Like it? Buy it!" Her mom would only say: "You should take advantage of being young and pretty, if you like someone then go for it, or else when you're old and worn out you'll regret it."

  She really likes Yan Yu, from the time he gave her a bottle of Mentos in the first year of high school military training, she couldn't help but fall in love with him, loving his sunny and handsome appearance as well as his warmth.

  She wanted to be good to him, even if he didn't show much and it was okay, not necessarily wanting any results, just letting him know her intentions, just like the whole first year of high school being peaceful and calm was fine, but somehow it became like this now...

  Those people also said she was a bimbo, a little hoodlum, but that's not true. She had always longed for peers of the same age, and if she had a best friend, that would be even better; they could share dolls, snacks, comics, gossip, and small secrets together. However, for some reason, her classmates seemed to dislike her, and she couldn't force them to like her, so she often wandered around alone. But then, an older schoolmate approached her and became very close to her, always chatting with her and sometimes introducing her to other friends. At first, she was delighted and often went out with them, but soon discovered that they were actually using her as a free ride, making her pay the bill every time. Moreover, those people didn't seem like decent students either. As time passed, she gradually lost interest in them, and when they still tried to pester her, she had no choice but to give up because she had a driver picking her up. Due to this incident, she became slightly more cautious about making friends, fearing that it would end in disappointment again and that people would take advantage of her foolishness. But unexpectedly, some unfavorable rumors began circulating around school, and she didn't want to explain herself, nor did she know how to explain.

  Su Luo indulged in her wild thoughts, thinking about everything from her childhood to her relationship with Yan Yu, until the second half of the night when her feet were numb and her face was frozen stiff, before she managed to drag herself back to the dormitory.
