Little Six cast a concerned look at Old Wang. They had been friends for many years, and he felt it was his duty to offer some advice. Speaking earnestly, he said, âYouâre disregarding the potential consequences of your actions. You might find momentary satisfaction in satisfying your vanity, but what are you truly gaining from all this? Youâre essentially sabotaging your own future.â
Old Wang dismissively responded, âItâs not that serious. We have freedom of speech in our country, after all.â
Little Six, seeing Old Wangâs unapologetic attitude, asserted, âWhether there are consequences or not depends on whether someone decides to deal with you.â
Old Wang chuckled and said, âBai Xue isnât as bad as you make her out to be.â
Little Six straightforwardly stated, âGood or bad is not my concern. As long as she doesnât provoke me, I donât care.â
Old Wang fell silent for a long time and then asked, âLittle Six, I can tell that you never liked Bai Xue from the beginning. Can you tell me why?â
Little Six replied indifferently, âThereâs no specific reason. Some things she does just donât sit right with me.â
Old Wang, still puzzled, asked, âBut sheâs such a good girl. Why do you find fault with her?â
Little Six said bluntly, âItâs because of her methods. They are too low and cunning.â
This statement angered Old Wang, and he retorted, âBut she just did one mistake! Is it necessary to make such a big deal out of it?â
Old Wang couldnât understand why people were so fixated on one small mistake when everyone makes mistakes. He felt that Bai Xue was being unfairly targeted.
Little Six, noticing that Old Wang still seemed unrepentant, said, âIf Bai Xue had succeeded, Jiang Lingâerâs future would have been ruined. Jiang Lingâer is the daughter of the Jiang family, and if her reputation is tarnished, it will affect the familyâs image and development. In your eyes, is Bai Xue always right, and anyone she targets deserves to suffer?â
Old Wang retorted coldly, âBai Xue would never harm anyone like that.â
Little Six looked at Old Wangâs defiance and stated, âItâs not about whether she would or wouldnât harm someone like that; itâs that she didnât succeed. You should wake up to that reality.â
Old Wang sarcastically retorted, âSo, youâre saying Jiang Lingâer did nothing wrong in this situation?â
Little Six responded, âBai Xue used underhanded tactics to harm Jiang Lingâer, and Jiang Lingâer was simply retaliating. Whatâs wrong with that?â
Old Wang asserted, âJiang Lingâer attempted to steal her boyfriend.â
Little Six replied, âYou can believe that if you want, but donât go spreading rumors everywhere. Itâs just spreading falsehoods with no benefit.â
Old Wang, seemingly indifferent, said, âIf Jiang Lingâer is willing to do it, she should be prepared for people to talk about her.â
Little Six responded with a hint of sarcasm, âThen let me ask you, who told you that Jiang Lingâer is the third party in the relationship? Was it Bai Xue or Li Yan?â
Old Wang hesitated to answer, his brow furrowed.
Little Six emphasized, âItâs all hearsay with no evidence. Spreading rumors like this is harmful, do you understand? Moreover, the people involved havenât made any statements, and youâre already making baseless accusations. Arenât you afraid of causing harm?â
Old Wang, growing defensive, said, âBut itâs not baseless. People are talking about it everywhere. Donât they deserve an explanation?â
Little Six sighed and said, âYou guys are spreading unfounded rumors everywhere, which only emboldens Bai Xue and encourages her to continue using these underhanded tactics. Are you absolutely certain that Jiang Lingâer is the third party?â
Old Wang insisted, âOf course she is.â
Little Six merely sneered in response.
Unhappy with the tone Little Six was taking, Old Wang said, âI really donât like your condescending attitude.â
Little Six, lying on his bed, turned away and didnât respond to Old Wang.
Feeling frustrated, Old Wang couldnât help but wonder if this was still his friend. Bai Xue was such a wonderful girl, and he couldnât fathom why Little Six had such a strong aversion to her.
Unable to tolerate Little Sixâs silence any longer, Old Wang stood up and left the dormitory.
In the library, Old Wang was restless. He randomly picked up a book, opened it, and began to read. He was lost in thought for a long time until someone suddenly took the book from his hands. Annoyed, he initially thought someone was playing a prank on him. However, when he looked up, he was met with Bai Xueâs innocent face and a gentle smile, which made his heart skip a beat.
Indulgently, Old Wang said, âLittle Xue, itâs you. I thought someone was playing a prank. Youâre quite mischievous.â
Bai Xue playfully licked her lips and whispered, âBig Brother Wang, what were you thinking about? You were so absorbed in your thoughts that I sat across from you for several minutes, and you didnât even notice me..â
