A Slight Smile: The beginning is so heartbreaking for Bei Weiwei

"It should... be quite fun!"

However, what he didn't know was that the girls' dormitory on the other side was already in an uproar.

After realizing that Lin Yaoyang might be a girl, Bei Weiwei completely lost her composure.

Xiaoling and her two companions also observed this scene.

"Weiwei, what...what's wrong with you?"

Xiaoling, Erxi, and Sisi exchanged glances before cautiously sitting down next to Bei Weiwei.

She looked at Bei Weiwei, who seemed a little dazed, with concern and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, Weiwei? Did something happen?"

Bei Weiwei didn't answer her, but just stared blankly at the blue-robed swordsman on the game interface.

Her feelings are very complicated right now.

So many fantasies and expectations seem to have been shattered in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that Bei Weiwei ignored her, Xiaoling spread her hands towards Erxi and the other person, gesturing for them to come over as well.

The two nodded and tiptoed over.

"Weiwei, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Erxi asked in a low voice.

Bei Weiwei took a deep breath and gave the three of them a forced smile. "It's nothing, I'm just... just a little tired! I guess I've been reading too much these past few days. I'll be fine after a short rest."

"Reading? Have you been?" Sisi asked doubtfully. "Have you been reading these past few days? I remember you've been playing games the whole time."

"Hiss!!"

"Sisi!! Stop talking!"

Erxi and Xiaoling hurriedly stopped this fool; if they could, their eyes would have been enough to kill Sisi instantly.

Sisi also realized what was happening.

She gave an awkward laugh, then made a zipper-like motion towards her mouth.

Bei Weiwei looked at the three people exchanging glances and sighed.

"Alright, alright, it's nothing serious, you don't need to overthink it, I'll just tell you directly!"

Bei Weiwei then briefly recounted her story with Lin Yaoyang to the three young ladies.

After hearing the whole story, Xiaoling and the other two were filled with shock.

What kind of melodramatic plot is this?!

"Weiwei, this...this is really a bit outrageous!"

Xiaoling didn't know what to say for a moment; this reversal was indeed a bit too big.

She put herself in Bei Weiwei's shoes.

Think about it, after so many years, I finally developed feelings for someone, only to find out in the end that the other person might be a girl.

This is... so funny, it would kill someone with a heart condition.

"Weiwei, don't think like that!"

Erxi glanced at the computer screen. "I think you're probably overthinking it. I feel like the guy on the other end is probably a guy, the probability of him being a girl is very low!"

"Really?" Bei Weiwei's eyes lit up, and she quickly grabbed Erxi's arm. "Erxi, tell me quickly, how do you think the other person is a boy?"

"It's very simple, you can tell just by looking at the name!"

Erxi said matter-of-factly, "Do you think any girl would choose such a stupid name? 'Yang'? Why not just call him 'Niu'? He's obviously a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) with no taste in naming things at all."

Bei Weiwei: "..."

Xiaoling: "......"

Sisi: "......"

This... is actually a very good line of reasoning.

Bei Weiwei sighed inwardly. Sure enough, she couldn't have too much hope for her roommate's intelligence.

Especially a certain Erxi classmate.

“Weiwei, I think you don’t need to think too much right now, because it won’t do any good no matter how much you think about it!” Sisi suddenly said.

"Besides, didn't you make plans to attend the offline meet-up for A Chinese Ghost Story with the other person? You'll find out whether they're male or female when you meet them, so why are you worrying about it here?"

Hearing Sisi's words, Bei Wei nodded slightly.

Indeed, there's no use in thinking about it now; everything will be clear once they meet. All she can do now is hope that the other side won't give her too much of a surprise.

"Ugh, I'm so tired, Xiaoling, you rich lady, I'm hungry!"

"No... even at a time like this, you're still thinking about scamming me? Stop, stop, stop! Don't look at me with that pitiful expression. I'll treat you, I'll treat you, okay?!"

"Hehehe, thank you, Sister Xiaoling!"

Chapter 19 The Great Rescue of Weiwei

Nighttime, after Bei Weiwei fell asleep.

Xiaoling and the other two lay on the bed, exchanged glances, and then picked up their phones to chat in their group chat again.

Xiaoling, the eldest sister: I think Weiwei's situation is still unreliable. And I think it would be better if the other person was a woman; then nothing else would happen. But what if the other person is ugly?

Xiaoling, the eldest sister: I think we still need to find a way to divert Weiwei's attention and focus.

Sisi: But... how do we shift Weiwei's attention and focus?

Erxi: That's right. You know Weiwei's personality. If she really liked that Yang, how could we easily persuade her?

Boss Xiaoling: Stupid? Weiwei has never even met the other person in person. She's just imagining what the other person looks like. What's there to like or dislike?

Xiaoling, the eldest sister: Besides, the two of them aren't actually dating; it's just that Weiwei has feelings for him. I think... we can create a perfect encounter for Weiwei.

Sisi: A perfect encounter?

Erxi: ? ? ? ? ? Are you going to find a mold for Weiwei? But I heard that molds are quite expensive.

Boss Xiaoling: "......"

Sisi: "......"

Xiaoling and Sisi were so angry at the sight of Erxi lying on the top bunk, looking so adorable, that their heads were about to explode.

If it weren't nighttime, and I wasn't afraid of waking Bei Weiwei.

They'll definitely rush up and give this guy a good talking to—what kind of thought process is that?!

Why hire a male model? With Bei Weiwei's looks, does she really need to hire a male model?

He's out of his mind.

Seeing the murderous looks on her two best friends' faces, Zhao Erxi smiled awkwardly and lightly slapped herself twice.

Erxi: I was wrong, I apologize!!

[An awkward smile]

Boss Xiaoling: Get out!!!

Sisi: Get out!!!

Erxi: [Trying hard to roll into a round ball]

Xiaoling, the eldest sister: Getting back to the point, I'm serious. After spending these two days together, have you noticed that our junior actually has a pretty good feeling about our Weiwei?

Sisi: Yaoyang, the junior? I think I have that feeling. I noticed it yesterday when we were eating in the cafeteria. His gaze would occasionally drift to Weiwei.

Erxi: Xiaoling, you're not trying to set them up, are you? Is that... appropriate?

Sister Xiaoling: What's wrong with it? Tell me, what's the problem?

Erxi: There's no problem, but can Weiwei accept a relationship between an older woman and a younger man?

Xiaoling, the eldest sister: What's wrong with a relationship between an older woman and a younger man? The age difference between them isn't that big, so what's the big deal?

Xiaoling, the eldest sister: Moreover, our junior is a perfect match for our Weiwei, both in terms of looks and intelligence.

Boss Xiaoling: Alright, if you have no objections, then let's begin this grand encounter plan. This plan will be called: Operation Save Weiwei.

Sisi: ...This name seems a bit corny.

Boss Xiaoling: Sisi, are you... itching for a beating?

Sisi: ......

Erxi: Alright then, since you all say so, I have no objection. But if Weiwei really gets angry, Xiaoling, you'll have to be the first to take the hit.

Sister Xiaoling: These are all small matters, I'll take care of them.

Sisi: But... how do we get started on this grand plan? Even if we're going to bring them together, we need to find an opportunity, right?

Sisi: Weiwei has been holed up in her dorm playing games all this time. How are we supposed to get them together?

Xiaoling, the eldest sister: Hehehehehehe, who said there was no chance? In two days it will be our computer science department's welcome party, and I have already signed Weiwei up!

Sisi: Welcome party? You even signed Weiwei up?

Erxi: You're brave enough. Aren't you afraid that Weiwei will wipe you out?
