It seems that I can no longer get away with it.

Jiang Baige didn't like Shi Xin's questioning, and now she was familiar with Chen Xi and Jing Chai, so she didn't plan to hide it.

"Yes." She nodded, and then asked, "You think his behavior is normal, right?"

"Yes." Shi Xin gave the same answer. "I think that we are all adults, and some so-called social conventions may not necessarily be right. If... I mean if, Teacher Chen and his wife have always lived their own lives, then Teacher Chen has done nothing wrong."

Jiang Baige smiled, but not happily: "Shi Xin, you can't arbitrarily label another person guilty just to clear one person's name. If you put it in a novel, readers will criticize you for being illogical."

Shi Xin blushed a little, but refused to admit defeat: "Okay, then even if Teacher Chen is wrong... but Senior Sister Jing is not? It takes two to tango. But why can't you blame Senior Sister Jing and even help her today?"

"It's very simple..." Jiang Baige shrugged, "Just like you can throw a bucket of dirty water on Teacher Chen's wife in order to clear his name... I am the same way, it's the instinct of people of the same sex to sympathize with each other."

What's more, the reason why Jingchai was involved with Chen Dongguo was full of doubts in itself.

Rather than making some kind of moral judgment on Jingchai, she would rather find evidence and restore the truth without making too many assumptions.

Although she knew that she had almost chosen to believe that Jingchai had his own reasons.

"You..." Shi Xin was speechless and looked unhappy.

Jiang Baige was also unhappy, so she didn't indulge him and didn't give in.

But what was even more strange was that the two of them just stared at each other in a stalemate, and neither of them took the first step.

Finally, Shi Xin spoke again: "We can seek common ground while reserving differences."

"Of course, but are you sure you want to force yourself?" Jiang Baige was the one who forced him, but he still put on a show of support, "I don't want you to put yourself in a difficult position."

It was as if she really felt sorry for him.

At this moment, a nerve in Jiang Baige's brain suddenly tensed up - she raised her head, stared at Shi Xin, and waited for his answer sincerely.

His answer was in line with Jiang Baige's prediction: "If I can make you happier by doing wrong, then I won't do it."

It's almost like a line from an idol drama.

Jiang Baige wondered for no reason whether he would improve Chen Dongguo's play with this style of dialogue?

If so, it would definitely look out of place, but maybe it would be more in line with Chen Dongguo's inconsistent temperament.

"If you're like this, I'll really be tempted."

Jiang Baige said this, but when she returned to the room, the first thing she did was to take out a pen and paper and write down the thoughts that had just appeared in her mind -

The hero of that sweet story has a new face.

Shi Xin, a real handsome guy, is also in an ambiguous relationship with her.

They quarreled, they made up, she said she couldn't bear to leave, he said he didn't feel wronged... Isn't this exactly what Tianwen needs?

Especially a sweet story that happens to be at the "chasing wife to the crematorium" plot.

but……

Jiang Baige stopped writing because she realized she couldn’t “whitewash” the male protagonist.

Because what he had done before was so abominable.

Although for readers, the guise of "romance" can "forgive" all the harm he has done to the heroine, but for Jiang Baige, if she cannot forgive the hero, then she cannot write a happy ending that is worthy of readers to endure the "torture" until now and not give up the story.

She threw the pen on the table - I can’t write, so I’ll just go to sleep!

***

That night, Jiang Baige slept very well. In her dream, there were no endless articles to write, endless people to save, endless puzzles to solve, and no unclear future...

This state continued until she left the villa, and nothing special happened in those two days.

Chen Xi was very happy, Chen Dongguo stopped making trouble, and Jing Chai's emotions were relatively stable.

The only progress was in Shi Xin's relationship with her.

Perhaps it was the sense of crisis brought about by Chen Dongguo's hospitality and the unexpected closeness brought about by the quarrel, Shi Xin was almost a person who fell in love.

But neither of them mentioned the relationship. Jiang Baige guessed that it was because Shi Xin was enjoying the feeling of being close yet distant yet confident.

Because he looked really happy, Jiang Baige couldn't help but want to stimulate him.

So, on the day of the return trip, Jiang Baige set off half an hour earlier than the agreed time.

She did not take Shi Xin's car, but walked down the mountain alone, pulling her luggage and bumping along.

She had just reached the halfway point of the mountain when her cell phone rang.

"Where are you?" Shi Xin asked anxiously on the phone. Jiang Baige could almost see her sweating profusely.

Just as Jiang Baige was about to speak, she suddenly saw a tall boy walking past her.

She almost thought that this was Shi Xin, but then she thought again - it was impossible.

On the phone, one could hear the voices of other people around Shi Xin, which were noisy and familiar, indicating that he was still in the villa.

Jiang Baige laughed. She already knew how to write that sweet article.

——If you want to “whitewash” the male protagonist, it’s very simple. Just transfer the bad things he did to another person.

This person is the male protagonist's younger brother. He was jealous of his outstanding brother since he was a child. After discovering that the male protagonist's weakness is the female protagonist, he designed a huge conspiracy...

After returning to the dormitory, she began to write without distraction. Apart from eating and attending classes, nothing could disturb her.

Even Shi Xin’s text messages can’t be received.

At the beginning, he would send several messages every day, including greetings, concerns, and some sad discussions.

But gradually, because Jiang Baige sometimes replied late, and sometimes forgot to reply, the text messages became less and less...

Jiang Baige finished writing the novel a week later and found out that Shi Xin had not contacted her for two days.

But as she watched herself write almost 10,000 words a day for a week, her heart was filled with satisfaction and there was no room left for Shi Xin.

At this time, she received another text message from Song Siwen, asking her if she wanted to study together.

Jiang Baige looked at the time: it was already May, and there were only a few months left until the September admission to graduate school. It was indeed time for her to make an intensive effort.

Although the competition for admission to graduate school is not as fierce as that for the postgraduate entrance examination, there are still many written tests and interviews, and you absolutely cannot do without reviewing.

So I made an appointment with Song Siwen to study together the next day.

When she passed by the Pangu Bell Tower, she found that only some fragmented shed scenery had not been dismantled, and most people had already left. She couldn't help but think of her first encounter with Shi Xin here.

Just as she was about to leave, she saw two people whom she thought would not be here...
