Can you please stop hating

"I'm not angry," Chen Wen said earnestly, "I'm just worried that as your circle of friends grows, you'll be influenced by the people around you."

He said this very tactfully, but Yu Xi understood that Chen Wen still disliked Jin Zhuoxiao's carefree behavior and was afraid that she would be led astray by Jin Zhuoxiao.

This was the first time in Yu Xi's life that she saw Chen Wen being so wary of someone around her. It felt quite magical. Could it be that Chen Wen could foresee that she would fall in love with Jin Zhuoxiao?

The more she thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed. Yu Xi pulled back her thoughts and said, "Brother Wen, I'm not a child anymore. I won't be led astray so easily. Don't worry."

Chen Wen sighed: "Okay, you should go to bed early."

Yu Xi: “Yeah.”

After hanging up the phone, Yu Xi put away her phone and walked quickly towards the dormitory.

When Qiao Yining heard the door open, she looked over and saw that it was Yu Xi who came back. She felt relieved: "I was wondering why Chen Yingxin suddenly showed her affection. It turns out that she had ulterior motives. I should have gone with you earlier."

"Even if you go with me, it will only put one more person in danger," Yu Xi took off her coat and said with lingering fear, "I am lucky to have escaped today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Qiao Yining: "So how are you going to deal with this?"

Yu Xi walked to the table and sat down, sighing and saying, "Zhong Jie cut Jin Zhuoxiao's hand, Jin Zhuoxiao will not let him go."

Qiao Yining hesitated for two seconds and said, "Yu Xi, Jin Zhuoxiao was injured in order to save you. Does he still like you?"

"……no."

Yu Xi is not a narcissistic person. She still clearly remembers that Jin Zhuoxiao said that he would not play with women that others don’t want.

Jin Zhuoxiao has no shortage of people around him, and the division has already been divided. Yu Xi feels that there is no need to think divergently and bring humiliation upon herself. Being decent is better than anything else.

Even though I thought so, I couldn't help but feel a dull pain in my heart.

There were too many unexpected events tonight, and Yu Xi had been tense the whole time. Now she suddenly relaxed, and fatigue gradually came over her.

She pinched the root of her nose, suppressed her emotions and asked, "Are you using the bathroom now?"

Qiao Yining: “No need.”

Yu Xi nodded: "Then I'll go take a shower first."

Qiao Yining: “Okay.”

After packing up, Yu Xi went to bed. It was not until she woke up the next morning that she realized that Chen Yingxin had not returned all night.

She had expected this result, so she wasn't that surprised. She ate and went to class as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Monday was a full day with classes, but Chen Yingxin did not show up in any of the classes. She did not ask for leave and no one knew where she was. Several teachers marked her as absent.

Yu Xi had a vague feeling that something was about to explode, and sure enough, that evening, a shocking piece of news spread in Huada’s super chat.

The main content is that a boy from Huayi was sent to prison for raping a girl from Huada.

This ambiguous title attracted a large number of people, and everyone was guessing who these two people were.

As the saying goes, there is no wall that is impenetrable. Less than half an hour after the news broke, someone had already found out that the boy was Zhong Jie and the girl was Chen Yingxin.

The two of them did not show up at school today, which seemed to confirm this conjecture, and all kinds of discussions immediately filled the super topic.

The school is a small place with a dense population, and information flows quickly, so it soon spread widely.

Zhong Jie is a bad person and is usually quite arrogant. Now everyone is pushing him down and a large group of people are waiting to laugh at him.

Chen Yingxin is in the position of a victim in this incident, but there is a group of unknown people who are angry with her.

As an insider, Yu Xi naturally would not sympathize with Chen Yingxin. She felt that Jin Zhuoxiao's tit-for-tat approach was quite satisfying.

*

Ever since the incident with Lan Hai, Yu Xi has never seen Chen Yingxin again, because she dropped out of school due to depression just a few days after the scandal between her and Zhong Jie was exposed.

During this time, a middle-aged couple came to the dormitory to help Chen Yingxin pack her luggage. They were swearing at each other the whole time and were still blaming each other until they left.

The man's voice was rough and the woman's voice was sharp. The mixture of the two gave Yu Xi a headache. Only when they were completely far away did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the empty bed, Yu Xi felt relieved. At least the dormitory would be quiet for the next three years, and life finally had a little more hope.

After Chen Yingxin left, Yu Xi and Qiao Yining felt extremely comfortable living in the dormitory.

No one caused trouble and every day was peaceful. It was exactly the college life that Yu Xi had imagined at the beginning. She even felt happy at work.

When you are in a good mood, time seems to pass especially quickly. In the blink of an eye, it’s Christmas Eve.

It snowed lightly that afternoon, and the pine trees in the school were covered with a layer of white, creating a festive atmosphere.

However, Yu Xi was not in the mood to celebrate the festival. When Xue Haoyan invited her to attend the holiday party tonight, she directly refused.

Yu Xi originally planned to stay in the dormitory and sleep, but Xue Haoyan said that Xue Mengmeng had prepared a Christmas gift for her and asked Yu Xi to go to the party to get it from him.

There was no other way, so Yu Xi made the trip reluctantly.

I heard from Xue Haoyan that holding a party at the Rose Castle in the university town on Christmas Eve is a tradition that has been held for many years.

Legend has it that there is a huge Christmas tree in the backyard of the castle, and making a wish to it at midnight will be particularly effective.

Although its authenticity remains to be verified, it is quite a gimmick, so many school students come to participate every year.

But most people came for the excitement. After all, it was freezing cold and no one really waited until midnight to make a wish.

Yu Xi is a freshman and this is the first time she knows about this. She finds it quite interesting.

Rose Castle is an ancient castle-style building built in the university town. Just like its name, there are many rose elements in the castle, so it looks particularly gorgeous and beautiful.

This is usually an ordinary gathering place, and it is only used to hold Christmas parties on Christmas Eve.

You need to buy a ticket to enter, and 180 yuan per ticket is really not cheap.

After entering the door, you can see quite a few people inside. They are probably students coming and going, and it is very lively.

Yu Xi sent a message to Xue Haoyan, who said he was on the fifth floor and asked Yu Xi to go find him.

After going upstairs, Yu Xi discovered that upstairs was even more lively than downstairs. Various drinks and food were placed on the long table. Three or five people sat in a circle playing games, and there was Christmas music. It was simply a carnival.

Yu Xi felt a little bit at a loss in this kind of environment. She had no mood to play and squinted her eyes to look for Xue Haoyan in the crowd.

However, Yu Xi didn't expect that she didn't see Xue Haoyan, but actually saw Jin Zhuoxiao first.

Jin Zhuoxiao sat on the sofa in a leisurely manner. Everyone around him was having a great time, but he was the only one with an indifferent expression, looking down at a small box of something in his hand.

He was so quiet that he seemed somewhat out of place in the surroundings, as if he was immersed in his own world.

Before Yu Xi could see clearly what was in the box in Jin Zhuoxiao's hand, she saw him take out a match from the box with his gauze-wrapped right hand and light it neatly by striking it against the edge of the box.

When the flame was fully lit, Jin Zhuoxiao suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door.

Yu Xi happened to be standing here, and was caught off guard. The two of them met each other's eyes from a distance, and there seemed to be a flash of surprise on their faces.
