Chapter 65 I am Shi Qi’s fangirl

Although Gu Nanqian merely jogged away, her figure still quickly disappeared.

Ning Meng pursed her lips.

As expected, using words like this worked. Gu Nanqian always said that she wanted to remain friends with Meng Ning, but in truth, she had probably always wanted to break away from her.

In the future, if she came across her again, she’ll just continue to feign innocence in retaliation and let her run off by herself to save herself from wasting her words.

She took her time returning to the dormitory.

It was currently only evening and there was not a single soul in the dormitory, leaving her alone. She habitually checked her phone for part-time jobs in the vicinity.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, the door was pushed open.

Hearing the sound, Ning Meng turned her head.

Once the sliding door on the balcony was closed and the soundproofing was assured, Ning Meng could only hear vague sounds and was not able to hear the specific contents clearly.

After just a few minutes, Yu Xiaolian pulled open the door abruptly.

Ning Meng secretly measured her and discovered that she seemed to have cried. Her eyes were red, and she climbed onto her bed and pulled the curtains.

Very quickly, her phone rang and then stopped, and then rang again.

Ning Meng guessed that she must’ve had a quarrel with her boyfriend.

The relationship between Meng Ning and Yu Xiaolian wasn’t as strained, but before her sexuality was exposed and her reputation was smeared, she was able to hold a conversation with the three people in the dormitory.

Although Yu Xiaolian didn’t stick out much in the dormitory before, she still had more social skills than Meng Ning and had a good relationship with everyone.

The only problem was that she liked doing video calls with her boyfriend in the middle of the night.

Rumors say that she had started dating this boyfriend ever since she was in senior high. He was also a rich second-generation, but now, the two were in a long-distance relationship, so they could only communicate through video calls.

As Yu Xiaolian came from an ordinary family, she had to save some of her allowances to be able to travel with him during vacation. After all, her boyfriend only chose high-quality places.

The other person in the dormitory was Yang Yujie, she was similar to Yu Xiaolian in the sense that she was also having a long-distance relationship with a rich second-generation boyfriend. The difference was that Yang Yujie came from a rich family and led a worry-free life.

Just as she was thinking about this, Yang Yujie came back.

She was still on the phone while taking off her shoes, “Are you for real? Then I’ll just wait for it to arrive… Of course I’m happy, I thought you forgot…”

A few minutes later, she hung up the phone.

Yu Xiaolian had gotten off the bed and recovered her normal appearance, sitting there not knowing what to do.

Seeing that Yang Yujie looked so happy, she asked curiously, “You seem very happy, what surprise did your boyfriend give you? Was it your birthday present?”

Yang Yujie casually packed up some clothes and was about to head out, mentioning along the way, “Yeah, he happened to be abroad so he bought me a bag, and it’s about to arrive. I’m leaving.”

This bag naturally came from a famous brand.

Yu Xiaolian revealed an expression of envy, “Be careful on the road.”

She and her boyfriend had to save money while they were travelling and he had bought her a bag a year ago but it was only from a mid-end brand, completely incomparable to what Yang Yujie usually bought for herself.

The same had happened this time as well.

Why was there such a big gap between people? This world was really unfair, Yu Xiaolian thought, her heart brimming with resentment.

She closed the door and turned her head, meeting Ning Meng’s gaze.

Then, she cast her a despicable gaze, and said in a hostile tone, “Meng Ning, why don’t you move out?”

Ning Meng sat on the edge of the bed, feeling a little confused.

What did this have to do with her, she didn’t even provoke her, why was she looking at her that way, was she venting her anger on her?

The corners of her mouth twitched, “I paid the accommodation fee, so why would I move out and rent a room? It would be a waste of money and I’m a poor person.”

Yu Xiaolian was rendered speechless by her comeback and went to bed with an ugly expression.

Ning Meng snorted, ignoring her, then turned to play on her mobile phone.

However, Yang Yujie’s words somewhat made her want to laugh.

Yesterday she said that her boyfriend died so she was going to participate in his funeral. Now, he had resurrected, and their relationship returned back to being harmonious. As expected, she could never understand people in love.

But she could never say such words out loud.

With Yang Yujie’s character, she might start a fight with her, breaking into curses, and wouldn’t show the least bit of mercy at all.

Ning Meng couldn’t help but think of Yu Xiaolian’s circumstances tonight, something seemed wrong.

She didn’t have such a case before so she was curious whether it was another case where she’ll also suddenly make up with her boyfriend after their fight.

When evening self-study arrived, Ning Meng left the dormitory first. Once the class bell had rang, she realized that Yu Xiaolian had not come.

When she left, Yu Xiaolian was still in the dormitory, and she didn’t go to sleep too so there was no way she would have forgotten about evening self-study.

The class leader was still taking roll calls, “…Yu Xiaolian…Did Yu Xiaolian not come? Or is she late?”

Li Jiao responded, “She’s not feeling well.”

The class leader put a strike through her name, “Alright. Ask her to bring me the absence slip tomorrow. The teacher is in the office today so there might be a surprise check later.”

Li Jiao casually responded in acknowledgement.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*  *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*  *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Once evening self-study concluded, Ning Meng went back to the dorm.

About an hour after the lights were turned off, the dormitory doors were pushed open, producing a creaking sound.

Ning Meng hadn’t fallen asleep so her heart immediately leapt in surprise.

The sound of footsteps followed before the sound of something being dragged across the floor, producing a scarily heavy noise in the silent night.

Holding her phone, she pulled a crack in the curtain.

A faint light came from the other side, reflecting Xiaolian’s pale and bloodless face. If it wasn’t because she looked like a living person, Ning Meng would’ve immediately thought she was a ghost.

Li Jiao turned the flashlight on her phone, “You’ve returned?”

Yu Xiaolian replied weakly.

Ning Meng felt that Yu Xiaolian was really strange today, but she didn’t know what happened.

She was about to shrink her head back to sleep, but the thing behind Yu Xiaolian suddenly drew her attention.

To be precise, she was referring to the thing on the back of her neck.

Yu Xiaolian’s hair was let down and she was sitting in her own seat with her back facing the desk, which was facing Ning Meng’s bed.

And there was a small head lying on the back of her neck.

Ning Meng took a deep breath in silence and observed from the crack of her bed curtains.

The head was small and had no visible facial features. Her whole body was shrouded with black air, faintly revealing badly mangled features.

Yu Xiaolian was completely unaware of this and was typing on her phone.

The head was not clear, it seemed to be small, and she didn’t know what it was, only seeing that fuzzy silhouette of its eyes, nose and lips.

She didn’t know what was stuck on Xiaolian’s body but that head seemed to have taken a complete liking to her, leaning close towards her to smell….or at least that’s what she thought it was doing.

Every time it approached her neck, Yu Xiaolian’s face would turn ugly, turning increasingly pale.

Evidently, it was absorbing her vitality, or it was absorbing other things.

Ning Meng sucked in a cold breath.

That looked too terrifying. Yu Xiaolian looked fine last she saw her before evening self-study and apart from her strange attitude, everything else was very normal but in just a few hours, she became like this.

She must have provoked something.

She was fully aware that she had no way of protecting herself so she couldn’t care too much about others’ business. Moreover, she didn’t have a good relationship with Xiaolian so she wasn’t going to throw away her life for her.

Ning Meng pursed her lips, and pretended that nothing happened, drawing back under the covers of her bed and falling into slumber.

When she woke up the next day, Yu Xiaolian had just come out of the washroom.

Ning Meng noticed that the head was gone, but her expression still didn’t look good, as if she lacked nutrition.

This meant that the head would not appear during the day.

Ning Meng silently stayed away from Yu Xiaolian.

Yu Xiaolian glanced at her suspiciously, “Why are you looking at me?”

Her voice was a bit weak but it still carried a piercing tone.

Ning Meng pouted, “I didn’t.”

Yu Xiaolian glared at her, her eyes containing emotions Ning Meng couldn’t discern, then she took her bag, turned around and left the dormitory.

“How odd,” Ning Meng muttered.

She soon followed out as they had specialized classes today. She couldn’t be late for them.

However, not long after arriving at the room, she found that the lecturer hadn’t arrived yet, and he had sent a message saying that there was a traffic jam on the road.

The class leader notified everyone, “The teacher has asked us to have self-study first.  And he’ll arrive in half an hour, you can prepare ahead by looking at the new lessons.

Ning Meng opened her book and went to the forum again.

She had already saved the previous thread but hadn’t clicked it again ever since that incident in the water room,

Several new posts appeared on the homepage of the forum today.

Ning Meng clicked one of the clickbait threads and was surprised the moment she saw Shi Qi’s photo pop up.

This must have been secretly taken by someone as they had only managed to take a side shot and not the entire face but that still didn’t diminish his modelesque appearance.

As expected, he was peerlessly beautiful.

Shi Qi truly looked as good as he did in the past.

Seeing that the following posts were all compliments, Ning Meng felt like a proud mom. This kid did not stray off the right path because of her. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a group who would praise him today.

Of course, there were also some voices in the thread who held a different thought which only appeared in the middle of the thread after a few hundred posts.

Some of them said he might have had plastic surgery, or he had a supporter under the table, and some people even said that he had climbed the director’s bed.

Ning Meng’s anger flared up.

With the Shi family’s name, even if they were to establish a new university now and make Shi Qi as the president, it would only be an easy feat for them. Not to mention, he was merely a student who was just substituting for the teacher.

The more she scrolled down at the posts, the more she grew angry, even losing her desire to eat.

The forum was anonymous so Ning Meng didn’t know who was who, as such, she registered herself an account and scolded all the posters who were spewing slanders.

After thinking about it, she then followed it up with a few posts, using all the words she knew to compliment Shi Qi a lot.

Then she shut her phone with a face of content.

Ning Meng: Today, I am 17’s little fangirl! Supporting him from behind the scenes!

There won’t be any little hidden dairies today as 17 lives in the forum
