88: Xia Mengling, who dares to think and act

Looking at the red exclamation mark on her phone, Xia Mengling really felt like she was going crazy.

For so long, regardless of gender, she was always the one blacklisting others. This stinky man, this damn love-brain, actually blacklisted her.

She immediately dialed his number.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed..."

"Bastard! Ahhhh! Bastard! You're all bastards! Tan Xinxin, you bitch! Shen Qian, you idiot, you moron, just go and die at the hands of that wicked woman!!!"

Xia Mengling threw her phone out, and the screen instantly shattered into pieces, but she didn't care at all. Suddenly, a feeling of grievance she had never experienced before welled up in her heart.

Just like that, this carefree young girl cried for the first time because of a boy.

The system's notification sounds kept ringing. Shen Qian knew that the emotions of both Xia Mengling and Tan Xinxin were like a roller coaster right now. After a long while, Tan Xinxin finally sent a message.

"Thank you."

Adults only look at results. Although Shen Qian had spoken harshly to her, the final result was that she had won; Shen Qian had chosen her.

Even if it was only this once, she was the winner.

She didn't know herself when her mindset had started to shift. Perhaps it was because of this trip, where Shen Qian really only had eyes for her.

Or perhaps it was because she had taken the wedding photos that her mother had longed for her entire life but never got to take.

Her rationality told her over and over again not to be greedy. If she became greedy, this man would no longer want her.

But in the wasteland of her heart, which had been completely disillusioned with emotions, a sprout suddenly emerged—a seed casually sown by Shen Qian.

She was unwilling to admit it, but she knew she had fallen for him.

Falling in love with such a man was a very painful thing. In the foreseeable future, jealousy would torment her at every moment.

No child is willing to share candy, even if they've already taken the first bite.

"What should I do with you?"

Tan Xinxin looked at her phone, lost in thought.

Tonight was a sleepless night for two women, yet Shen Qian still slept soundly.

On the last day of the holiday, the guys in the dorm didn't feel like going out. Chang Heng wanted to ask his Girlfriend out, but since it was the last day, she didn't want to run around either, so he just let it be.

Shen Qian didn't want to stay cooped up in the dorm the whole time, so he went to the cafeteria. The person at the stall had changed, and his wish to learn more about Senior Feng fell through.

He thought the day would pass by uneventfully like this.

But, things weren't that simple.

"Shen Qian! Get down here!"

"Shen Qian! If you won't come to find me, I'll come to find you!"

Below the boys' dormitory, an extremely beautiful girl was shouting towards the upper floors with a megaphone in her hand. It was none other than Xia Mengling.

Since it was the last day of the holiday, most students were returning to school on this day, so Xia Mengling's actions quickly caused a huge stir.

"Third Brother! Is she looking for you!?"

On the bed, Wei Mingtian sat up instantly. He couldn't have misheard; the name being called below was definitely Shen Qian.

Shen Qian slowly walked to the balcony and saw Xia Mengling being surrounded by onlookers below.

The scumbag effect was gradually manifesting. First it was Du Xixi, and now it was Xia Mengling. It seemed that not only boys would block girls' dormitories; girls were also quite adept at doing such things.

"To think she would lower herself to this extent for me. It seems the stimulation this time was quite significant, making her feel like she's truly in love."

"Now that it's reached this point, whether to continue suppressing her or to accept her is a question."

While Shen Qian was still thinking, Wei Mingtian and the others had already crowded around the window to watch. They couldn't see her exact features, but based on her silhouette and their trust in Shen Qian's abilities, they were certain she must be a great beauty.

"It's not Senior Female Student Du, not Senior Xie, and not Tan Xinxin. Third Brother, who is she!?"

"Adoptive Father, what kind of move is this? I don't understand, I really don't understand!"

While they were still watching, a figure appeared at the door and slammed hard on the dormitory door.

"Third Brother! Third Brother! Downstairs, there's a super good-looking girl who says she's looking for you. Hurry down and take a look!"

The man had a large bag on his back and was panting heavily; it was obvious he had just returned to school and run all the way up from downstairs.

"Super good-looking? How good-looking! How does she compare to Tan Xinxin?"

Wei Mingtian's interest was instantly piqued, and he asked three questions in a row.

"Damn, she's drop-dead gorgeous! I thought I saw a movie star. You guys hurry down and look. Third Brother, hurry, she's here for you."

The megaphone downstairs was still blaring, and the busybodies upstairs were urging him. Shen Qian glanced at Chang Heng.

"Boss, help me go and tell her to go back. I don't want to see her."

"Ah? You're not seeing her? Third Brother, think carefully. That girl is drop-dead gorgeous! Not just pretty, but drop-dead gorgeous!"

The brother at the door repeated.

"I know her, and I know exactly how good-looking she is, but I just don't want to see her. Boss, I'm counting on you."

"This... isn't right. The girl needs to save face. Third Brother, why don't you just meet her? It's not like meeting her will cost you anything."

"Boss, please."

Since Shen Qian said so, Chang Heng had no choice. The three roommates went downstairs together.

When the three of them saw Xia Mengling, they realized just how "drop-dead gorgeous" that brother meant. It was clearly just a plain black long dress, but on this girl, it made her skin look like it was glowing.

Her eyes were red, her gaze filled with stubbornness. Her hand holding the megaphone was also very beautiful, and every move she made possessed a unique beauty.

"Um, excuse me, beautiful."

"Get lost, I'm not giving out my contact info!"

As soon as Chang Heng tried to approach, he was directly shouted back by Xia Mengling.

"We're not trying to get your contact info. We're Shen Qian's roommates."

"Roommates?" Xia Mengling's expression, which had just been like she was looking at trash, immediately softened upon hearing they were Shen Qian's roommates.

"Could you please call him for me? I want to see him."

"Well, Third Brother—that is, Shen Qian—he said... he said he doesn't want to see you. You should just go back."

Xia Mengling bit her lip and glared towards the upper floors.

"Fine, fine, fine! You dare treat me like this!"

After saying that, she glanced at Chang Heng and the other two.

"You three Brothers, let's have a meal together."

"Ah?"

"I have some things about Shen Qian I want to ask you. I believe you'll give me this face, right?"

"This... isn't good..." Gao Haitao wanted to refuse; after all, this was selling out a brother.

"I study at the Normal University and have some connections there. As long as you three Brothers are willing to have a meal with me, I can organize mixers from time to time. Finding a gentle and beautiful Girlfriend would be a piece of cake."

"Let's go, Miss. I'll definitely tell you everything I know."
