Su Weiyi never thought that human nature could be so despicable. She grabbed her phone and directly called Zhang Ziyu, only to find it powered off.

Su Man and Xie Xiaoran both saw the outgoing call on her phone, and their expressions changed as well.

Su Man immediately spoke, "Was it her?"

Su Weiyi didn’t respond, but there was no need to. Su Man was no fool. Her temper flared up, and she punched the metal staircase, cursing loudly, "Fuck."

Then she grabbed Su Weiyi’s hand, "Come on, let’s go find her. I know where she lives."

Su Weiyi was still in a daze, but she was already dragged to the door by Su Man. Xie Xiaoran’s calm voice timely intervened, "It’s useless. How could she possibly admit it?"

Both Su Man and Su Weiyi stopped in their tracks as Su Weiyi finally came to her senses. Su Man was dissatisfied, "We can’t just let this go."

Su Weiyi tugged at her sleeve, "Xiaoran is right. If she dares to do such a thing, she’s not afraid of me going to find her. She won’t admit it, and if she doesn’t admit it, I can’t force her to. In the end, it’ll be me who suffers."

"Then..."

Xie Xiaoran spoke again, "The dormitory’s surveillance has been broken and is under repair these past few days. We can’t even check it; there’s no way to prove she came to the dorm. No one saw her, and without evidence, she definitely won’t admit it."

Su Weiyi sat in her seat, Su Man leaned against the wall, and Xie Xiaoran stood calmly. For a moment, the three of them fell silent.

A fire burned within Su Weiyi’s heart, not because she took the competition so seriously, but how could someone be so vile?

After a long while, the sudden ringtone of her phone broke the silence. Seeing the words "boyfriend" dance on the screen, Su Weiyi got up and went to the bathroom.

On the other end, Sheng Yanxiao’s voice was as pleasant as ever. Listening to his voice, Su Weiyi’s initial anger abruptly transformed into deep grievance. Her eyes heated up, and her throat choked a bit.

Sheng Yanxiao instinctively sensed it, his voice lowering a few notches, "Weiwei? What’s wrong?"

In fact, Su Weiyi didn’t feel particularly aggrieved; she was just angry. But for some reason, when Sheng Yanxiao asked, all her grievances poured out, and tears fell uncontrollably.

Su Weiyi was fragile, but she wasn’t one to cry easily. Yet now, she couldn’t stop her tears no matter what.

On the other side, after parting with Su Weiyi, Sheng Yanxiao had gone to buy some croissants because his mother wanted them. Just as he was calling Su Weiyi, he had only just returned to the entrance of Lake Bay Villa.

Sheng Yanxiao halted in his tracks, listening to the choked sobs over the phone. Her voice was soft, without heart-wrenching cries, just a light whimper, much like a kitten’s.

But Sheng Yanxiao’s heart clenched instantly, pain spreading from his core to his entire body.

The box of croissants in his hand fell to the ground. Just then, Mrs. Zhang happened to come out to throw out the trash and saw the young master of the house dashing outside.

"Young..."

Before Mrs. Zhang could finish her sentence, Sheng Yanxiao’s silhouette had already disappeared.

Su Weiyi sobbed for a while, yet she still clearly recounted what had happened from her side. Sheng Yanxiao told her to take her computer and drawing tablet and wait for him at the house outside.

Su Weiyi did as told, as if his voice over the phone was the best sedative for her.

Coming out of the bathroom, Su Weiyi’s eyes were red, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile at the two outside, "I’m going out for a bit."
