The Beautiful Time With You

He Tiantian: “I nearly died of anger when I first saw that post too! Lin Jiage may be my Adonis, but this is truly too much! Sure, he’s handsome, but our Yaoyao is extremely pretty too! What do they mean by ‘their Adonis wasn’t bitten by a rabid dog’? Like our Yaoyao would be interested in their Adonis!”

Jiang Yue: “The photo with Han Jing was clearly taken last month when we went to karaoke together. The karaoke bar is right next to the love hotel, and back then, Han Jing and Yaoyao were waiting for us outside. What do they mean, he ‘sleeps around’? This just shows that a person with a filthy mind can have such filthy thoughts!”

Leng Nuan: “Also, what did they mean, ‘their Adonis isn’t someone that shameless trash is worthy of’? They’re the ones who are trash, their whole families are trash! This won’t do, I’m going to go on the forums to speak up for Yaoyao!”

He Tiantian and Jiang Yue also echoed their approval, “Let’s do it—”

“It’s fine…” Shi Yao, who had been looking blankly at the forum for a long while, suddenly spoke up.

He Tiantian raised her tone and exclaimed, “What do you mean by it’s fine?! How can it be fine? Yaoyao, can you really accept them saying those things about you? Even if you can tolerate it, but as your roommate, I can’t simply watch people insult you like that!”

Shi Yao passed the phone back to He Tiantian and spoke with her usual composed voice, “Of course I can’t accept it. I’m also very angry, you know!”

He Tiantian, Jiang Yue, and Leng Nuan stared at the nonchalant-looking Shi Yao and fell into a two-second daze. Then, with uncanny harmony, they asked, “Are you sure that you’re angry?”

With the same calm look as before, Shi Yao replied, “I’m sure. I really am angry, but being angry doesn’t mean that we should get into a meaningless fight on the forums. There’s no way they’ll believe what we say anyway. On the contrary, they’ll just attack me more aggressively the moment we respond. So, there’s really no need to waste time and effort wrestling with them online. We’ll only be torturing ourselves that way…”

Hearing those words, the frustrated Jiang Yue spoke up, “Then what should we do? We can’t just let them keep slandering you like that, right?”

Shi Yao swiftly replied, “Of course not!”

Noting Shi Yao’s easy response, He Tiantian’s eyes suddenly lit up as she asked, “Yaoyao, could it be that you have a solution to this?”

Shi Yao shook her head and replied honestly, “I don’t.”

Watching the faces of her three roommates sink before her eyes, Shi Yao spoke up, “But we can slowly think of a solution together. So, for the time being, let’s eat lunch!”

Leng Nuan: “Yaoyao, you’re still in the mood to eat after everything that happened?”

“Why wouldn’t I be in the mood to eat?” Shi Yao asked. “We need to eat to have the strength to think of a solution!”

“You definitely have my full respect. I don’t know whether you’re really that calm, or your head just isn’t working well. Alright, alright, let’s go eat first then…” Jiang Yue said as she began to rummage through her closet to find some appropriate clothes.

On the road to the canteen, He Tiantian dragged the topic back to the forum, “By the way, do you guys have any idea who made that thread? Those photos weren’t taken in a single day, which means that someone has been diligently tracking Yaoyao’s movements for a while now. What’s her goal? Is it really just to flame Yaoyao?”

Jiang Yue: “But Yaoyao sees nothing but food. It’s not likely for her to have any enemies in school.”

Leng Nuan was a little more rational, “Yaoyao, you really should give it some thought. Did you unintentionally offend someone recently?”

“I don’t think so…” Shi Yao paused for a brief moment before continuing. “… but I think I have a good idea on who made that post.”
