"Me, insidious? What about you?" I couldn't help but laugh at their shamelessness.
"One has a boyfriend, the other has a girlfriend, sneaking out together to watch a movie and being all lovey-dovey—what do you think, that I’m blind or stupid?"
"Xu Jiaying, what's wrong? Is Gu Yuan not enough for you? You already have a relationship that many envy; why do you want to steal mine?"
"Enough! This matter..." He Yang quickly grabbed my arm, but I retaliated with a slap that sent him back.
"Too busy scolding her that you forgot to scold yourself, huh? What do you take me for? It's normal for couples to break up and get back together; I have nothing to say about that. But you? Is it sweeter when it's stolen? Do you have no basic sense of integrity?"
The other two roommates rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Seeing us at each other's throats, they quickly intervened: "Su Yi, lower your voice! What are you shouting about in public? Do you want the whole dorm to be embarrassed because of you?"
"Embarrassed?"
The events of my past life replayed in a different setting. My heart felt as if it had been thrown into an ice cave and then pulled out to be fried in oil, over and over again.
"Those who cheat aren't embarrassed, but I'm the one who's embarrassing for calling it out? Where's your basic sense of right and wrong?"
Looking at their attitudes, so similar to those in my previous life, I had to admit that regardless of right or wrong, they would always side with Xu Jiaying.
"Why do you have to make such a big deal about cheating? What do you really want?" He Yang stood protectively in front of Xu Jiaying, as if afraid that my words would hurt her.
"He Yang, let's break up."
I declared each word clearly. After glancing at my roommates' varied expressions, feeling utterly exhausted, I turned and left without another word.
I had made up my mind; I would move out as soon as I got back.
In this dormitory, there was no reason to stay.
"Su Yi, don't throw a tantrum! There must be some misunderstanding! Let's talk it out; we're all friends!"
"Exactly! We should at least finish watching the movie; otherwise, the tickets will go to waste..."
Behind me, several people shouted and chased after me, trying to hold me back. I shook them off repeatedly and continued striding forward until suddenly a massive force pushed me from behind as I stepped onto the road, sending me flying into an oncoming car...
The sensation of falling hit me hard. I opened my eyes abruptly only to find myself lying back on my dorm bed.
Familiar voices from my roommates filled the air as they lifted the bed curtain. Peeking beneath the curtain, I saw two roommates surrounding Xu Jiaying, praising her necklace.
I didn’t want to disturb them; pretending to still be asleep, I quietly pulled the curtain tighter.
I couldn't tell if it was the confusion from being reborn or if the earlier scene had been too chaotic, but I just couldn't remember who had pushed me out—was it these three usually harmonious roommates or my boyfriend of three years?
The immense sorrow made my hands tremble uncontrollably, and my only thought was to leave this place as quickly as possible.
With that in mind, I opened my phone, hoping to find someone to help me, but as I scrolled through my contacts, I realized there wasn't a single person I could rely on.
Perhaps...
I paused for a moment, tapping on WeChat and searching through group chats related to Xu Jiaying, hoping to reach out to the only ally I had in this situation. Just as I was contemplating how to subtly ask for the contact information of Xu Jiaying's wealthy boyfriend, a message notification suddenly chimed.
Curious, I opened it, only to find a photo of He Yang kissing Xu Jiaying!
Seeing this picture, which had gone viral on the campus network in my previous life, left me utterly astonished.
