At the same time, at school.
Yu Jinmo dialed Lin Baiâs phone number for the umpteenth time.
Just like before, the phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up.
Yu Jinmo felt a little uneasy.
She sent a message to Lin Bai: âWhat are you doing? Why arenât you replying?â
After the message was sent, there was no response.
The chat window was filled with messages sent by Yu Jinmo, but there was no reply from Lin Bai.
Yu Jinmo swiped the screen and looked at the message she sent.
The first one was a link to the news that was being forwarded.
The rest were all text messages sent by Yu Jinmo.
âHave you seen the trending searches today?â
âThe backs of the two people in the news seem to be you and Luo Yang!â
âAre you busy?â
âLin Bai?â
â¦
The rest of the messages were basically her asking Lin Bai what he was doing.
However without exception, none of them were replied to.
In the beginning, Yu Jinmo even comforted herself, thinking that Lin Bai was probably busy and didnât see her texts.
However, a few hours had passed, and there was still no reply, which made Yu Jinmo uneasy.
Lin Bai had never gone without replying her text messages for such a long time in the past.
No matter how busy he was, he wouldnât ignore her like this.
Could something have happened?
As soon as this thought popped up, Yu Jinmo couldnât sit still anymore.
She tried to call Luo Yang to ask about Lin Baiâs whereabouts.
After all, Lin Bai had been the closest to Luo Yang during this period of time.
Hence, when she couldnât contact Lin Bai, Yu Jinmo naturally wanted to ask Luo Yang.
In the end, Luo Yang didnât answer her calls or reply to her messages.
That made Yu Jinmo even more uneasy.
Her intuition told her that something must have happened.
Moreover, it was Lin Bai and Luo Yang who were both in trouble.
This kind of intuition made Yu Jinmo unable to sit still.
She ran to Lin Baiâs dormitory building and waited for her classmates.
She waited left and right, but she did not see any familiar faces.
Yu Jinmo had no choice but to pull a long face and beg the dormitory manager to let her in.
âAuntie, can I go in and look for my classmates? Iâll come out after saying a few words. I promise I wonât stay, okay?â
Yu Jinmo put her hands together and her attitude was very sincere.
However, the manager of the dormitory building where Lin Bai was staying was a middle-aged woman.
Usually, the middle-aged womanâs attitude was especially friendly when faced with handsome male students.
However, when faced with female students, especially beautiful ones, the middle-aged womanâs attitude was always abnormally hostile.
It was probably because she was old so she was especially jealous of young and beautiful girls.
Yu Jinmoâs appearance was definitely worthy of being the school belle.
Usually, all the teachers and classmates were very friendly to Yu Jinmo.
However, when facing this manager, her youth and beauty became a sin.
The middle-aged woman scanned Yu Jinmo from head to toe several times with a disdainful gaze.
Her gaze made Yu Jinmo feel extremely awkward.
However, in order to find Lin Bai, Yu Jinmo endured it and continued to plead with her.
âCan I really just say a few words and come out in five minutes? Just five minutes?â
If it was any other dormitory manager, they would have already made an exception.
However, the middle-aged woman stared at Yu Jinmoâs flawless face and the jealousy in her heart burned even more fiercely.
âWhy canât you go somewhere else to talk? Why do you have to go to the boysâ dormitory?â
The middle-aged lady in charge of the dormitory questioned in a sarcastic and scornful tone.
âDonât think that I donât know what you want to do. Iâve seen a lot of young girls like you! Donât you just want to be intimate with your boyfriend? If you want to do that, go out and get a room. Why do you have to mess around in the dormitory? What kind of place do you think the school is!?!â
âYouâre so young and donât have any self-respect. I really donât know what your parents taught you!â
Yu Jinmo had been clenching her teeth and enduring, but when she heard the last sentence, she finally couldnât take it anymore.
âWhat right do you have to make such wild guesses?!â
âItâs fine if you slander me, but what right do you have to talk about my parents?!â
Yu Jinmo was furious and humiliated, and her entire body couldnât help but tremble.
She had been pampered by Yu Jianhao since she was young. When had she ever suffered such injustice?
The manager sneered, âIf youâre afraid that others will talk, donât do such a shameful thing!â
Yu Jinmo was so furious that her entire body turned cold. However, she was too cultured and did not know how to scold others. She could not vent her anger.
âThis is slander! Slander!â Yu Jinmo retorted angrily.
The manager scoffed. No matter what she said, she was sure that she was that kind of shameless woman.
Just then, Lin Baiâs other roommate, Sun Xiaogang, happened to pass by and saw the manager imitating Yu Jinmoâs words.
âYou are quibbling! Quibbling!!â
Yu Jinmo was so angry that tears were rolling in her eyes. However, she bit her lips and held back her tears.
Sun Xiaogang immediately understood what was going on when he saw this situation.
Who in this dormitory building didnât know what kind of person the manager was?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yu Jinmo wasnât the first girl to be insulted by the manager, and she wouldnât be the last.
Sun Xiaogang didnât know those girls from before, so he couldnât be bothered to meddle in other peopleâs business.
However, Yu Jinmo was his roommateâs girlfriend, so he couldnât just stand by and watch.
Sun Xiaogang immediately went forward and blocked Yu Jinmo behind him. He shouted at the housemother,
âWhat nonsense are you talking about!â
âThe school clearly stipulates that girls can enter the boys dormitory after registering, as long as they give a valid reason. Itâs the same in other dormitory buildings, but you just wonât allow it.â
âAs long as itâs a good-looking girl, youâll humiliate her in a disasteful manner. Youâll bully a young girl whoâs too shy to scold others, right?!â
âYouâre just jealous because youâre old and left on the shelves. People like you are really disgusting!â
The manager was used to shouting and bossing others around so her mind had long been twisted.
Now that she was being scolded by Sun Xiaogang, how could she bear it?
âLittle bastard! I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents today!â
The manager rolled up her sleeves and was about to hit him.
Sun Xiaogang said sternly, âDonât you dare touch me!â
The manager felt guilty after being yelled at. She did not dare to let go of her raised hand in the end.
After all, she was just a small manager who did not have the right to hit others.
Moreover, Sun Xiaogang looked like someone who was not to be trifled with. If he really insisted on holding her accountable, she would be the one who would suffer in the end.
In the blink of an eye, the manager had already weighed the pros and cons in her heart.
She gave up the idea of making a move on them but she felt very embarrassed. She stood on the moral high ground and accused Sun Xiaogang and Yu Jinmo of not knowing how to respect themselves.
âDo you think your parents spent a ton of money to send you to school, just so that you could have a romantic partner?â
