46. Am I really concerned about my stinky rival in love? No, that would never happen.
Xia Changyu felt quite embarrassed at this moment.
He couldn’t dare to look Lin Yibai in the eyes; how could he have the nerve to ask such a question?
His girlfriend had a habit of lying, sigh!
And even more terrifying things happened. Just after getting out of PCS, he was called back again. It seemed those guys who had blocked the road were revealing some important information.
It concerned the women in his life.
Never overestimate the abilities of those like Lian Haifeng; they were merely a group of small-time thugs who only knew how to bully law-abiding citizens and flaunt their might in front of ordinary people.
When they encountered a real violent agency, they confessed everything: “Please let me go! Don’t call my family, and don’t spill this to my school… Xia Changyu, yes… it was all his girlfriend who instructed us to do this. It was Yang Yueping who said to help Gu Xiaoxue test whether he really loves her, wah wah!!”
Xia Changyu’s heart shook violently, and he felt a bit dizzy: “Impossible!”
“You can call Gu Xiaoxue and Yang Yueping here to confront us in person!” Lian Haifeng was already in emotional collapse—he very likely would pay for today’s actions for the rest of his life, wailing: “And I’m Yang Yueping’s boyfriend; it was them who asked me to deal with you!”
“Right, I’m her male best friend too!”
“We’re truly wronged!”
“……”
Xia Changyu’s head buzzed, and a chill began to rise from his feet. Even if this was so-called a test of love, was this really how you tested someone by beating them to a pulp?
What did Gu Xiaoxue really think love was?
A joke or a farce?
Disappointment, utterly complete disappointment.
Well then, things started to get interesting.
Lian Haifeng and his crew’s actions were despicable, but the punishment was also two-sided.
It could be relatively lenient.
Or it could be very harsh.
It depended entirely on whether this was just a farce. At that moment, the PCS staff called him aside and asked, “Additionally, we’d like to inquire whether that girl outside is someone you know, and that’s why she filed a false report for you?”
Xia Changyu was astonished: “Huh?”
The policeman pondered for a moment and said, “The girl outside reported that she was hit by an electric bike. However, we just checked the surveillance footage and found that there was not a single electric bike passing by in at least the last ten minutes. So we reasonably suspect that she might have filed a false report specifically for you?”
Now, the question was in front of him.
Either let Lian Haifeng and his crew off the hook or confirm that Lin Yibai filed a false report, and given the sudden nature of Lin Yibai’s false report, she might only get a verbal warning and not the serious punishment he had imagined.
But!!
Xia Changyu said “but,” the girl named Lin Baiyi shouldn’t be subjected to a verbal warning because of those brutes.
“Sorry.” Xia Changyu took a deep breath and said, “I don’t know those boys who hurt me at all, and the girl you mentioned who filed a false report is my classmate. She must have seen me in danger, which is why she had to report a false alarm to help me.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, exactly!”
“Alright.” After finishing the notes and having Xia Changyu sign, the officer continued, “If there are any developments later, we will contact you by phone. Additionally, if you need cooperation, please do your best to comply when the time comes.”
“Definitely.” After a pause, Xia Changyu continued, “They said they know my girlfriend, so you can also inquire about her. She’s currently at the Seaside Grand Hotel, and please be sure to act fairly; don’t let her being my girlfriend cause any bias.”
The police officer on the opposite side couldn’t help but laugh.
It was clear that Xia Changyu was completely disappointed in that so-called girlfriend.
After all, if you think from another perspective, could you really accept that your girlfriend would, under the pretense of testing love, carry out acts that harm you physically and mentally?
Just like in some news, under the name of a love test, forcing men to experience the pain of childbirth, ultimately leading to a severe injury.
After leaving PCS, Xia Changyu saw the girl who was just standing around aimlessly.
Upon seeing him, Lin Yibai shrugged and asked, “Oh, you’re out! What did they want with you?”
“Nothing much!”
“Not saying? Fine!” If you don’t want to talk, I’m not in the mood to listen either! She waved her hand and turned to leave, saying, “Since there’s nothing going on, I’ll be leaving. Bye.”
Ugh, saying goodbye to a rival in love, steaming with embarrassment!!
However, after walking just a few steps, Xia Changyu followed her from behind.
She walked, he followed!
This made Lin Yibai quite frustrated. She couldn’t help but ask, “What do you want from me?”
“Nothing much!” Xia Changyu shook his head.
“Then why are you following me?”
“I…” After hesitating, Xia Changyu replied, “I seem to have nowhere to go; I’m homeless now.”
“Bullshit!” Without waiting for Xia Changyu to continue, Lin Yibai immediately retorted, “What do you mean you’re homeless? You go back to your Seaside Grand Hotel, and I’ll go back to my seaside small inn, okay?”
“How do you know I’m staying at the Seaside Grand Hotel?”
“I!” Lin Yibai raised an eyebrow. Oh no, it seems my rival in love has noticed a flaw.
“Speak up!”
“I guessed!” Lin Yibai randomly found a reason and continued, “Someone like you, a rich kid, wouldn’t stay in a cheap small inn like me, right?”
“But!!”
Lin Yibai waved her hand: “There’s no but! It’s all settled!”
Just give you a look, you understand, okay?
It’s really boring to be chit-chatting with a rival in love like this.
Lin Yibai continued on her way.
But not long after, Xia Changyu caught up with her again.
This time, it was he who took the initiative, saying directly: “The police said you might have filed a false report, and you were lying in wait there, as if you knew that would happen.”
Moreover, he encountered her again in Binhai.
And even knew where she was staying during her travels.
If all of this was just coincidence or fate, then it was too coincidental, right?
Lin Yibai wore a helpless expression, did I save a piece of dog skin plaster? She sighed and said, “I really need to go back to the inn.”
Xia Changyu said: “I’ll take you.”
Lin Yibai quickly got into the car, and the dog skin plaster followed her.
Are you annoying or what?
Is the truth really that important?
Lin Yibai looked at him with an exasperated expression and finally said, “I didn’t even want to come to Binhai. The little money I earn from my part-time job is hard-earned, and there’s no need to waste it here.”
Xia Changyu said: “But you came anyway.”
Lin Yibai glared at him and shouted: “Shut up, let me finish! The other day when I went to the library, I accidentally overheard your girlfriend’s friends’ secret. They said they wanted to take revenge under the guise of testing love. I don’t really understand their thinking, and I was shocked as to why they would want to beat you up, but I didn’t have your contact information.”
“Then how did you find me?”
“Through your girlfriend and her friends’ social media!”
“How do you know them?”
“They’re like social butterflies, who doesn’t know them around campus?” Lin Yibai shot him a glance and continued, “They’d love to go live and tell everyone that they’re traveling in Binhai, and they really have someone to pay for them without charge.”
Xia Changyu: Dazed!!
So embarrassing, o(╯□╰)o!!
