Chapter 22: Stronger Again
”You’re making it up!” Yuan Xiaoling exclaimed as she stood up, “There’s a campus network cable in the dormitory, the signal is better than outside!”
But the two roommates had already left and didn’t hear her. Even if they did, they would pretend not to hear.
Bai Ling acted as if she hadn’t seen this little farce and continued walking slowly.
When she reached Yuan Xiaoling, the Blonde-haired Maiden’s legs gave out and she sat back down.
”Good afternoon, darling,” Bai Ling said gently, “I heard you made some very interesting statements.”
”I… I said we have a great relationship.”
”But I also heard you say that I’m completely useless, not your rival at all, and especially weak in bed?”
As each word was spoken, Bai Ling’s smile gradually became more dangerous.
Yuan Xiaoling’s cherry lips trembled, “I… I was just joking around, blowing hot air, don’t take it so seriously.”
”I don’t ‘blow hot air,'” Bai Ling grabbed her trembling thighs, “I do something else, you know what, right?”
”C-can I not know… yikes!”
…………
Gu Hui and another roommate, Qiao Lili, hadn’t gone far, they were sitting by the door.
This distance was just right, they could hear the voices inside. If they pressed their ears against the door, they could even hear squelching sounds.
”It’s started,” Gu Hui said, doing exactly that.
Qiao Lili was a bit confused, “Didn’t she say Bai Ling wasn’t her match? Why…”
”She definitely said that. She’s the pride of our Broadcasting Department, she has to save face.”
Gu Hui understood Yuan Xiaoling’s actions well; who doesn’t brag among friends?
She sighed and said, “Yuan Xiaoling probably didn’t realize those words would be spread on the forum. Alas, with so many people talking, who knows who did it.”
”…” Qiao Lili silently put away her mobile phone.
There was nothing she could do. She thought Yuan Xiaoling was telling the truth, so she excitedly posted it on the forum to dampen the Physical Education Department’s spirit.
Gu Hui continued listening by the door.
”Right now, she should be picked up, ugh… so pitiful, can she handle it like this?”
”But the good news is, at this intensity, it should be almost over in a few minutes, probably.”
However, five minutes, ten minutes passed, and even Qiao Lili got bored and took out her mobile phone to play.
Gu Hui listened for a while longer, seeing that the wind and rain showed no sign of stopping, and it wasn’t weakening at all. She silently sighed.
”Physical education students are still impressive.”
”I think it won’t end in less than two hours,” Qiao Lili stretched her arms, “Let’s go downstairs and have a cup of bubble tea.”
”Reasonable.”
The eavesdroppers outside the door left, but Yuan Xiaoling inside was still suffering.
”Wrong, wrong, really know I was wrong, waaah…”
The Blonde-haired Maiden whimpered, the White-haired Maiden remained unmoved.
”Dear, you forgot, last time you said the same thing.”
”Waaah (such a coincidence)?”
”Even more coincidentally, last time I completely ignored you too. You admit your mistakes, I do my own thing.”
”Waaaah!”
Yuan Xiaoling regretted it now, deeply regretted it. She could swear to heaven that this task wasn’t done intentionally.
[Ding dong, how lucky, able to bind the host to complete these tasks, someone else might have… ]
Shut up! I told you it wasn’t done intentionally!
Finally, after an hour, Bai Ling stopped.
Considering they had Physical Education class in the first period of the afternoon.
But even one hour was enough to leave Yuan Xiaoling exhausted, lying down and groaning.
Seeing her pitiful little appearance, Bai Ling sneered, “Who let you talk nonsense, suffering on your own accord.”
”I, I was just chatting with friends,” Yuan Xiaoling complained, “Who doesn’t brag when chatting with friends?”
”Is that so, then tell me, what useful things did you chat about?”
Bai Ling just said that, but unexpectedly Yuan Xiaoling turned over and said, “I actually chatted about something useful, like going to intern at Tianhai Tower tomorrow.”
”Tianhai Tower?”
Bai Ling thought for a moment and said, “Tomorrow I’ll go with you.”
Yuan Xiaoling originally just felt it was ominous, but hearing her say this, she suddenly felt a bit nervous, “It’s not going to collapse, is it?”
”Not yet, I’m just interested in it, want to take a look,” Bai Ling smirked, “Every destined fate has its reason.”
Tianhai Tower will become a symbol of the old era, destined to collapse, there must be a reason. Either because of the people inside or something that happened there.
Or both.
”Whatever, anyway I need to rest,” Yuan Xiaoling pulled the blanket over herself, “We’ll deal with tomorrow’s matters tomorrow.”
Life is tough, might as well check the rewards for some comfort.
[Task Reward: Maximum number of creatures created by the Bai Ling transformation +1, currently 4.]
Alright, good, stronger again.
…………
In the Business Management Department, Zhang Shanshan was holding her mobile phone and couldn’t fall asleep.
Looking at the posts on the forum, the Broadcasting Department and the Physical Education Department were arguing, both claiming their side was the strongest.
There were also people taking photos and leaking information, saying that after school in the morning Bai Ling rushed across campus and attacked the Broadcasting Department Dormitory.
That’s not right.
In Zhang Shanshan’s plan, after she posted, the internet should have been filled with insults. And indeed, among the more than two thousand comments, it was exactly like that. Next, Bai Ling and Yuan Xiaoling should have argued with those people, then broken down due to the humiliation, satisfying everyone.
But in reality, the two girls completely ignored the insults and slander. Yuan Xiaoling didn’t feel ashamed, instead proudly talked about who was better in bed.
And this kind of topic gained high popularity, quickly overshadowing her post.
Then came Bai Ling, similarly unashamed, going to Yuan Xiaoling’s dormitory under everyone’s eyes, seemingly trying to prove something.
Do they really not care about others’ opinions?
”Shameless!”
Zhang Shanshan cursed softly and picked up her mobile phone to edit a new post, “Family members, who understands? I mean, running off to someone else’s dorm during school time to do THAT, I’m speechless…”
[Failed to send]
”What?”
[Due to the release of inappropriate information, this account will be restricted from posting for seven days. The Student Union of Tianhai University reminds you to protect the community environment and create a beautiful university life.]
”Aaaaah!”
Zhang Shanshan angrily threw her mobile phone on the bed.
Anyway, the intervention of the Student Union calmed things down on the forum. The school was afraid it would affect its reputation if it got out, so deleted all related discussions.
So unfortunately, other people didn’t know the result of this “lightning war,” who won.
”Besides the parties involved, we might be the only ones who know the result,” Gu Hui finished her bubble tea and said, “Starting today, we are wall-facers.”
Qiao Lili’s mouth twitched, “No, we at most can be called confidentiality personnel, it’s not the same concept.”
Still, those who frequently surf the net know more.
