After returning home, Yu Xiaowen clenched her fingers tightly, pressing the ballpoint pen hard onto the paper, creating a deep mark that pressed through to the other side.
She gritted her teeth and said, “Tan Yixuan!”
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Suddenly, she threw the pen to the floor with a loud clatter.
From outside the door, her mother’s worried voice came through: “Xiaowen? What’s wrong?”
Yu Xiaowen quickly took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and called out loudly, “It’s nothing! I just knocked something over!”
She managed to distract her mother, then turned back, frowning as she thought about Tan Yixuan. Since that person had delivered such a valuable opportunity into her hands, it would be a waste not to take advantage of it.
Tan Yixuan seemed so indifferent, didn’t she? Yu Xiaowen wanted to see if Tan Yixuan would still be so calm if Miss Wang Sasa knew about her disgusting thoughts.
From what she knew, although Wang Sasa had grown closer to Tan Yixuan recently, no rumors about improper relationships between them had surfaced. If Wang Sasa were attracted to women, there would likely be many students eager to make advances, considering Wang Sasa’s prestigious background.
On this basis, if Yu Xiaowen exposed Tan Yixuan’s vile thoughts, Wang Sasa would probably be furious. Yu Xiaowen touched her neck and narrowed her eyes.
She wasn’t brave enough to expose Tan Yixuan’s diary publicly, but informing the parties involved seemed fine.
She eagerly anticipated the stormy reaction from Wang Sasa upon discovering the truth.
Yu Xiaowen specifically found Wang Sasa’s frequently used email and sent her an email. The next day, she even staged a chance encounter with Wang Sasa, frequently hanging around places where Wang Sasa appeared. She wanted to capture the moment Wang Sasa and Tan Yixuan broke apart, but for some reason, Wang Sasa and Tan Yixuan remained friendly, laughing and chatting. Tan Yixuan, however, seemed to notice her gaze and gave several furtive glances.
What was going on? Why weren’t they breaking up? Yu Xiaowen gritted her teeth and frowned, unable to understand.
Wang Sasa was discussing with Tan Yixuan about making desserts at the apartment on Saturday when she noticed Tan Yixuan’s actions and followed her gaze, spotting Yu Xiaowen lurking not far away. She rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, “Ignore her. Yu Xiaowen must be heartbroken and losing her mind. She’s been stalking us for days.”
Tan Yixuan, appearing thoughtful, asked casually, “Has Yu Xiaowen contacted you?”
Wang Sasa, puzzled, raised an eyebrow, “Has Yu Xiaowen been looking for you?” After a pause, she asked, “About what?”
Tan Yixuan slightly lowered her eyes, smiled, and replied, “Nothing much.”
Seeing that Tan Yixuan didn’t want to elaborate, Wang Sasa didn’t press further. She glanced briefly at Yu Xiaowen and then thought that Yu Xiaowen probably wouldn’t cause any trouble at the moment, so she dismissed the concern.
“It’s impossible!” Yu Xiaowen had observed for several days and saw no signs of Wang Sasa showing any reaction or breaking off their relationship. Frustrated, she returned home and opened her email, finding it still unread, and shouted in anger. Why hadn’t Wang Sasa checked her email?
What Yu Xiaowen didn’t know was that although the email was Wang Sasa’s, Wang Shasha herself, as a character in the book, was unaware of it. Since her arrival in this world, she had never opened it, let alone checked the email.
Yu Xiaowen, fearing Wang Sasa’s wrath, deliberately called Wang Sasa from a nearby phone booth. Wang Sasa, who was grinding coffee beans, answered the phone without much thought: “Hello?”
On the other end, Yu Xiaowen deliberately lowered her voice and said, “Hurry up and check your email!”
Wang Sasa, confused, held the phone away and looked at the number with puzzlement.
Tan Yixuan, having prepared milk for Wang Sasa, turned to her and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Wang Sasa, looking puzzled, said, “Someone is telling me to check my email.”
Tan Yixuan tilted her head slightly, revealing her delicate jawline, and said, “Is that so?”
Wang Sasa, feeling slightly odd, glanced at Tan Yixuan and then at her phone. She put the phone back to her ear and asked, “Why should I check my email? Did you send me something?”
On the other end of the phone, Yu Xiaowen, enduring mosquito bites, said impatiently, “Just look at it. Don’t ask why!”
A mysterious caller, giving orders to check an email with no clear reason, made Wang Sasa’s temper rise. She snapped back, “Who are you? Why should I do what you say?” and promptly hung up.
Hearing the dial tone, Yu Xiaowen fumed: What was wrong with her? Didn’t she have any curiosity?!
Yu Xiaowen couldn’t believe Wang Sasa could resist!
After a week of restraint, Wang Sasa’s curiosity finally got the better of her. She went home, searched for the email account and password, and opened it. After browsing through the email content, her expression became very strange. She blinked rapidly, closed the email, and opened it again.
The email, which stated that Tan Yixuan ‘admires her,’ still lay quietly in the inbox, asserting its presence. Wang Sasa frowned deeply, hurriedly opened the drawer of her desk, and pulled out the original book she had hidden. She read through it carefully from start to finish, but saw no indication that Tan Yixuan might be a lesbian.
Compared to the odd and gushy email, which seemed unlike Tan Yixuan’s usually cold personality, Wang Sasa found it increasingly amusing and laughed out loud. To thank the sender for the entertainment, she even sent a “thank you” reply.
Yu Xiaowen, who had been obsessively monitoring her email, received this reply immediately. She opened the email, feeling bewildered and absurd. Shouldn’t Wang Sasa be furious to the point of losing her mind? After all, being admired by Tan Yixuan was hardly a good thing. Why was she thanking her?
This confusion was resolved on Monday when she saw the two of them ‘kissing.’
Yu Xiaowen stood dumbstruck in a corner, unable to believe what she was seeing. The two kissing were completely unrestrained, openly displaying their affection on campus, which fueled Yu Xiaowen’s rising anger. So that was it!
No wonder Tan Yixuan was fearless! No wonder Wang Sasa wasn’t angry! Because, they were actually a couple! Then what was the deal with Wang Sasa and Wei Qi? Yu Xiaowen was once again confused, feeling as if she were at a crossroads in life, unable to decide.
Liking girls wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Why did Wang Sasa pursue Wei Qi so obsessively? Was it to cover up something?
Could it be… Yu Xiaowen suddenly thought of a possibility, her eyes widening in shock. Was it possible that Wang Sasa had been interested in Tan Yixuan from the start, which was why she was so angry when Wei Qi showed interest in Tan Yixuan? Perhaps she didn’t actually like Wei Qi but had used him as a shield all along. Otherwise, how could Wang Sasa’s sudden change in character be explained? How could her changed attitude towards Tan Yixuan be explained?
Yu Xiaowen thought she had uncovered the truth and stood frozen in place.
Not far away, Wang Sasa blinked and thanked Tan Yixuan, “It’s fine now, no need to blow it.”
Tan Yixuan held her face, examining her eyes carefully, and after a moment, smiled, “Alright, it’s fine now.”
Wang Sasa rubbed her eyes and suddenly noticed the intense gaze from the corridor on the first floor of the opposite teaching building. She couldn’t help but frown, “Is that Yu Xiaowen again? What’s her deal? Is she addicted to spying on us?”
Tan Yixuan didn’t turn around but patted her head gently, saying, “Who knows?”
After Wang Sasa and Tan Yixuan returned to the classroom, classmates quickly surrounded Wang Sasa, blocking her from Tan Yixuan. Wang Sasa was friendly and answered questions willingly, so after some initial probing, the classmates found her unexpectedly easy to get along with and were eager to chat and gossip with her.
The classmates chattered away, effectively blocking Tan Yixuan from view.
“Wang Shasha, I voted for you in the recent campus flower election!”
“You’re number one, did you know?”
“Shasha, can you help me with this problem?”
Wang Sasa glanced at Tan Yixuan and then smiled as she responded to her classmates.
When the class bell rang, the students quickly dispersed. Only then did Tan Yixuan have a chance to speak with Wang Sasa. However, looking at the teacher walking to the podium, she pursed her lips and sighed helplessly.
Noticing her mood, Wang Sasa reached out and hooked her finger gently.
Feeling warmth in her palm, Tan Yixuan paused, then tightly grasped Wang Sasa’s hand, a smile slowly forming on her lips.
After class, Wang Sasa recalled the email she had received earlier and decided to share the joke with Tan Yixuan. She casually brought it up, “Tan Yixuan, do you want to see something interesting?”
Tan Yixuan tilted her head slightly, “What is it?”
Wang Sasa mysteriously waved her phone and said with a smile, “I promise it will make you happy all day.” She then lowered her head to open her phone and log into her email.
Although the school prohibited bringing phones and using them in class, Wang Sasa’s situation was special, so she confidently took out her phone, and no one dared to object.
At that moment, she placed her phone on the desk and deliberately opened the email that had entertained her for a whole day.
Tan Yixuan took the phone and looked at it. Even after seeing her own diary, her expression remained unchanged. She browsed through it calmly and then looked up, asking calmly, “What is this?”
Wang Sasa took back the phone, amused, and replied, “It’s a joke from a bored person.” She paused and continued, “I don’t know who is so bored as to forge your diary.” She shook her head and said, “If you’re going to forge something, at least be serious! Claiming you have a crush on me? Isn’t that funny?”
Tan Yixuan stared at her for a long time, then lowered her gaze and said calmly, “What if I say it’s true?”
