I Heard That I am a HeartBreaker - Chapter 28

Qiu Shuang walked aimlessly alone until she saw Lu Chen, who had been waiting downstairs for quite some time.

“I told you, I want to be alone right now.”

“Mmm, I think you might need an emotional garbage can.”

“…”

Qiu Shuang looked at Lu Chen a few times, said nothing, and simply sat down on the edge of the flower bed. Lu Chen smiled, knowing that this reaction meant she had agreed, and sat down beside her.

“Do you think this is over?”

“Perhaps. At least many people are satisfied.”

Lu Chen looked at her. In the sunlight, Qiu Shuang’s brown pupils contracted under the glare, staring at her like a python. The girl was angry. Why?

Because of the injustice?

“The real culprit is not her.”

“Not her, but sometimes the public doesn’t need the real truth; they just need a spectacle, a trivial result that can resolve everything.”

“Do you think that’s fair?”

Those brown pupils remained contracted, and deep in the pure black of her eyes, a raging fire seemed about to erupt.

“Shuangshuang… don’t think about these things, and don’t discuss them anymore, if only for your own good, okay?”

Qiu Shuang said nothing after hearing Lu Chen’s words. Sometimes she felt that the two of them were perhaps the same kind of person, but sometimes she felt they were miles apart.

She looked into those eyes, wanting to know what the other person was thinking, whether they truly stood on the same side as her. But at this moment, these outcomes seemed to be, as the other person said, completely unimportant.

“See you next time.”

Qiu Shuang stood up and dusted the dirt off her pants, walking towards the dorm building without looking back. Lu Chen sighed as she watched her retreating figure. Sometimes, more important than fairness is order and stability…

Back in the dorm, Qiu Shuang checked her phone. The first message was from Gu Lingxi. College students love gossip, and everyone was curious when police cars unexpectedly arrived at the school.

Gu Lingxi had her ways. She learned immediately that it was related to Qiu Shuang, but she couldn’t investigate any further details.

The flow of information had been blocked. Thinking of this, she smiled. Excellent people are indeed attractive. It seemed she also needed to improve herself, and as for the student president role, she had to find a way to resign.

The president’s identity might make it convenient to get close to Qiu Shuang, but for further development, it would be useless.

Gu Lingxi looked at the item in her hand. She thought no one would refuse an internship experience at a major company.

The final exams were approaching; this was the strangest finals week in Qiu Shuang’s life.

Lu Chen had prepared in advance and sent her notes. Song Ya’s gesture was simple: sending red envelopes. Xin Zhu was even more thoughtful, taking photos of all the exam rooms, printing them out, and delivering them.

Indeed, going to university meant gaining many “friends.” Of course, she had dropped Chen Wanjun from this list of friends.

Lu Chen was extremely busy during this period. Her intuition told her that Xin Zhu was not as simple as everyone imagined.

She looked at the records of the girl’s life appearing on the computer screen and fell into silence.

Born in an orphanage? Fighting for a chance to study among hundreds of children and getting into the top university? This person was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

When she tried to investigate further, Lu Chen hit a dead end. She smiled at the honeypot that appeared on the screen. Sure enough, the tail was hidden right there.

The other party’s network was encrypted, and the IP was constantly changing. It seemed this so-called junior sister from the School of Economics and Management would not be pursuing a career as an accountant in the future…

At this moment, Xin Zhu was unaware that she was being investigated. Sometimes, the person you most easily overlook in a crowd will deliver a fatal blow.

She had made a detailed plan. In the virtual world, people’s wealth becomes virtual numbers, making it very easy to tamper with. So-called stock investment is essentially a mathematical calculation and timely deception.

All she had to do was follow the biggest scammers, keep close to them, and fish for a little something in troubled waters.

Xin Zhu’s eyes darkened as she watched the numbers jumping on the screen. Originally, according to her plan, she only needed to appear at the best moment.

Who would have thought there would be so many unexpected twists, especially those women? Thinking of this, she licked her lips. She actually had a thought: should she kill them all?

This terrifying idea was immediately stifled in the cradle. It wasn’t that Xin Zhu was remarkably righteous, but she didn’t have enough money.

The previous savings were just enough to buy a scapegoat. Who would have thought the senior was so kind? If the senior had gone to jail, it would have been much better. She could have then completely dismissed her. Now, with the senior still wandering around in society, she was a major worry for Xin Zhu.

Xin Zhu sighed, preparing to work hard and continue making money. Meanwhile, Lu Chen boldly began browsing the other party’s computer records. It was clear that this was a very cautious person, completely different from the gentle “puppy” she presented in front of Qiu Shuang.

This suggested that the other party was a chameleon. Thinking of this, Lu Chen began tentatively reaching out to her using a virtual identity. She believed the other party wouldn’t pass up a chance with a stupid and naive lamb.

She could accept that Qiu Shuang had many admirers, and could even be generous enough to accept Qiu Shuang being with someone else. But if the person wasn’t genuinely fond of Shuangshuang and harbored malicious intentions, then they should just die.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen also remembered Song Ya, the woman who was always strange and always made Qiu Shuang unhappy. She recalled the strange anomalies from their high school days.

The other party seemed to be just Qiu Shuang’s good “bestie,” but Lu Chen didn’t believe she would ever only want to be a “bestie.”

Lu Chen organized the computer data while thinking about these issues. Sure enough, Shuangshuang was so lovable, but these people were really not good people…

Qiu Shuang studied diligently while feeling a sense of emotion. Recently, she had become fascinated with going online and chatting with strangers. Sometimes, online chatting was a magical thing.

People could always share secrets with strangers. After all, across the screen, no one knew who you were.

Soon, from the vast crowd, she found a friend whose values were very similar to hers.

The other person’s avatar was a cute little cat.

Qiu Shuang, who was staying in her dorm, trying to immerse herself in her studies and avoid thinking about those messy affairs, opened her QQ app and sent a message to her new friend.

AutumnWind: I really feel completely relaxed only when I chat with you.

Qiu Shuang typed on the screen, feeling that the other person was a very good listener, particularly gentle, and replied instantly. Sure enough, not long after she sent the message, the other person quickly responded.

BigRice2: Haha, really? Let me tell you, StupidRice stole the cat food again today, and I caught her.

Zhang Heming typed quickly, smiling, while her roommate, who shared the apartment, teased her.

“Got something going on, Zhang Heming?”

Zhang Heming just smiled and didn’t say much more. Separated by thousands of kilometers, different cities, and different local customs, how could they possibly be together?

As for the capital city, Jing Shi, where the other person was currently staying, she wouldn’t be returning to that place that had made her lose so much.

The future? At least now, across the distant screen, they were having a very happy conversation, weren’t they?

Qiu Shuang laughed at the other person’s complaint. They had met by expanding their friend list in a group chat. She had always dreamed of raising a cute little cat, but she didn’t understand how when she was little, and now that she was older and in the dorm, she didn’t want to bother her roommates. She figured she’d have to wait until she was working.

The other person had a cute white cat named “Da Mi” (Big Rice), and because the cat was a bit silly (er-er), she named herself “Er Da Mi” (BigRice2).

AutumnWind: Your Da Mi stole food again? I told you last time not to put the cat food in the bottom cabinet. Look what happened. You keep calling her silly, but she already knows how to open the cabinet door.

BigRice2: Darn it, darn it, it makes me so angry! Are you feeling better now?

Qiu Shuang was silent after seeing the other person’s message. She didn’t know how to answer.

Her life? It seemed like nothing had changed, and yet, many things had. Unknowingly, there seemed to be too many lesbians around her.

Qiu Shuang was a lesbian, but being surrounded by so many women was actually quite stressful.

AutumnWind: Still the same, I guess. Sometimes I really feel like maybe I’m a fickle bad woman, and my final exams are coming up soon. I really envy you working; you don’t have to take tests.

BigRice2: Once you start working, you’ll know. People like us who have entered society have long lost the passion of youth. I don’t think this is your problem. I’ve chatted with you for so long, and I sincerely feel that you are a very good person. It’s not your fault that so many people like you.

Qiu Shuang was silent for a moment after seeing the reply. She wasn’t a fool who just followed the crowd, but sometimes, when there were too many other voices, it was inevitable to feel confused.

After all, she needed one or two friendly voices to help her return to her original path.

AutumnWind: BigRice2, do you think I’m a bad person? So many people like me, but I haven’t chosen any one of them. It feels like I’m leading them on.

BigRice2: No, AutumnWind, love is sacred and should not be defiled. Their love for you is their sincerity, and your reluctance to easily agree to them is your respect for them. You shouldn’t consider these affections absurd just because you are too outstanding and have many admirers.

As she said this, Zhang Heming picked up the water on the table and took a sip. Actually, at first, her becoming a so-called close friend with the other party was purely because of gossip. She was just a spectator watching the drama unfold.

She genuinely suspected that everything that happened initially was fabricated by the other party. After all, she couldn’t imagine why such things would happen to one person. Was the other person some kind of “Man Magnet”?

Through her conversations with AutumnWind, Zhang Heming admitted that the other person was indeed gentle. She wasn’t sure what the other person looked like, but judging from the way she spoke, her appearance should be quite good. Sure enough, a beautiful and gentle person always attracted so many flies.

Zhang Heming felt that perhaps because she had entered the workforce, she didn’t really see AutumnWind’s admirers as genuine suitors. Maybe it was because she was a worker that made her view things pragmatically.

No gold coins (money)? What are you going to use to pursue someone? That broken mouth of yours? You’re giving yourself too much credit.
