Chapter 62: As a Man, What Should I Do When I Meet My Love Rival Again?
Lin Yibai went to the Business School building just to find a classroom with air conditioning so she could watch some makeup videos.
Xia Changyu also went there to repay a favor.
But Gu Xiaoxue, why did you go there?
And you even hoped that Lin Yibai and Xia Changyu would get into a fight because of you? That’s just disgusting.
You really believe Lin Yibai would stand up for you?
After seeing Gu Xiaoxue’s ugly true self, Lin Yibai had already let go of all his feelings. If he had to see her again, he would only want to stay far away to keep himself safe.
In fact, his opinion of Gu Xiaoxue had gotten even worse. But his impression of Xia Changyu, the "love rival," had actually improved.
Gu Xiaoxue rushed to the Business School building. Even though she was busy, she still found time to fix her makeup. Then, she saw Lin Yibai walk into a cold, quiet classroom in the corner.
She wanted to follow her immediately.
But after thinking for a moment, she was still unhappy and said, “Isn’t Xia Changyu nearby? I need to find a way to bring him over.”
She actually wanted her two ex-boyfriends to meet each other, her nasty plan couldn’t be more obvious.
She told her roommates what to do. They split into two groups. One group went to bring Xia Changyu over, while the other group stayed to watch Lin Yibai.
They were just waiting for the moment when the two would meet. That’s when Gu Xiaoxue planned to start her performance.
In the Business School hallway, Xia Changyu had already asked around many times.
But still nothing.
That girl called “Lin Baiyi” seemed like she had never existed.
“I’ve been in this major for three years and have never seen a girl like that,” some annoyed students finally said. “There’s no such beautiful and sweet girl in our department.”
So… could his guess have been wrong?
Maybe Lin Yibai wasn’t a business student at all. Maybe she was from another major?
If that was true…
Then the number of people he’d have to check would be way too huge.
A university has tens of thousands of students. Trying to find one person would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Should he post about her online and ask for help? But doing that would expose her personal info to the internet.
Xia Changyu didn’t want to do that.
Even if he couldn’t repay her, he didn’t want to ruin her peaceful and happy college life. And honestly, that would just be a dumb move.
While he was still stuck thinking…
A girl he didn’t know walked up to him and asked, “Are you looking for a short-haired, really pretty, and kind girl?”
Xia Changyu looked up. His eyes lit up with hope. “Yes! That’s her!”
The girl was someone Gu Xiaoxue and her friends knew from a club. She had come to pass on a message and guide him.
She said, “I think I saw someone like that in one of the classrooms in the southwest corner. I’m not sure if it’s her, but maybe you can go take a look.”
Xia Changyu: “Thank you!”
Even if it wasn’t a very certain clue, it was still his last hope.
He immediately walked toward the southwest corner of the building, hoping he could see the girl he’d been thinking about again.
The Business School building wasn’t big. In just a short time, he reached the southwest corner.
Some classrooms were open, while others had their doors and windows shut.
University is different from high school.
There are no fixed classes for each major. As long as there’s no special equipment inside, most classroom doors are left open for students to use for self-study.
There were seven or eight classrooms along this hallway. Should he check them one by one?
Just as Xia Changyu was thinking about which classroom to start with, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Gu Xiaoxue glanced at him with a smug, challenging look. Then stepped into a closed classroom.
“Gu Xiaoxue?”
Why is she here? Oh right, Gu Xiaoxue is a student in the Business Department. Then it should be fine.
Wait, no way! That look Gu Xiaoxue gave just now was clearly aimed at Xia Changyu. And she looked like she was about to do something bad.
Xia Changyu thought for a moment and frowned. “Wait a minute… could it be… is Lin Baiyi in that classroom? Is Gu Xiaoxue going in there to cause trouble?”
He didn’t think any longer and quickly followed her. He reached the door of the classroom and carefully pushed it open.
He swore that if Gu Xiaoxue dared to hurt Lin Baiyi, he definitely wouldn’t let her off easy.
Because this classroom was at the far southwest corner of the building, hardly anyone ever came here.
So not many students would come all the way here just to enjoy the air conditioning.
Inside, there were only one boy and one girl. The girl was Gu Xiaoxue.
And honestly, the boy looked quite delicate and good-looking.
“Lin Baiyi isn’t here?”
Xia Changyu muttered, then immediately felt disappointed.
He didn’t want to see Gu Xiaoxue’s annoying face at all, and he had no interest in talking to her again. But this whole meeting was clearly something Gu Xiaoxue and her friends planned!
Would they really give up that easily?
Gu Xiaoxue seemed very familiar with that gentle-looking boy. Her voice even had a bit of a sweet, playful tone.
She said with a hint of blame and sadness, “Yibai, why haven’t you answered my calls or replied to my messages? You even blocked me. Did I make you mad somehow?”
Lin Yibai: “???”
Seriously, what the heck.
He just didn’t want to stay in the hot dorm room anymore. He came here to enjoy the air conditioning and watch makeup tutorials on Bilibili. Did he mess with anyone? Did he bother anyone?
So why did she, of all people, show up?!
And as for not answering her calls or messages, and even blocking her. Come on, does she really not understand why?
But what really made Lin Yibai’s scalp go numb was when the classroom door opened again, that love rival Xia Changyu suddenly appeared at the door!
It was seriously creepy.
Even worse, Gu Xiaoxue leaned toward Lin Yibai with a smug look, which made Xia Changyu glare with disgust. So she already found someone new right after the breakup?
Typical Gu Xiaoxue!
Breaking up was the best decision ever. Thank goodness for kind Miss Baiyi for helping me see her true colors and escape the nightmare.
Miss Baiyi is the best in the world!!
Gu Xiaoxue felt like it was the right time and put on a serious face. She looked like she was planning something and said, “Yibai, didn’t you once promise that if I was ever bullied, you’d fight for me?”
Lin Yibai: “!?!”
We already broke up, what are you even talking about?
Xia Changyu: “Tsk tsk!!”
Lin Yibai quickly stepped back and waved his hands, trying to stay far away from this drama.
“Don’t say stuff like that. We already broke up a long time ago. What’s the point of bringing this up now?”
Gu Xiaoxue paused, then gave him a sad, helpless look. “Lin Yibai… you’ve changed.”
But Lin Yibai was already immune to her fake act. He said, “Changed? Me?”
Then after glancing at his love rival…
He suddenly got a little sarcastic and said in a weird tone, “Don’t say these things to me. Go say them to your rich and handsome boyfriend. Got it?”
Xia Changyu: What?!
Why did the drama suddenly come back to me?
He finally realized what was going on. If he was the most recent ex-boyfriend, then this guy, Lin Yibai, must be the ex before him!
So… he’s a senior in this ‘ex-boyfriend’ club?!
Xia Changyu quickly stepped forward to clear things up. “Hey, no no no, brother, don’t say that. I already broke up with Gu Xiaoxue too. This has nothing to do with me!”
That awful woman actually tried to stir up trouble again?
But her ex before him, this senior, clearly saw through her fake smile. He’s not someone easily fooled.
Dear senior ex-boyfriend, don’t be tricked by her!
