Lin Jin found the dormitory empty when he returned.
Yawning, he sat down and laid his head straight on the table, his mind filled with scenes of Wu Min and Feng Jing's conversation on the basketball court.
Would Feng Jing give up because of Wu Min's words? Probably, right? Even though Feng Jing seemed more stubborn than the average college student, typically young girls were delicate. Being bluntly told by their crush, "I hate you" might make any girl choose to give up.
After all, girls were often concerned about saving face, right?
If Feng Jing was taken care of this easily, Lin Jin's phone would have notified him of task completion. However, Lin Jin lay there waiting for a long time and never felt the vibration he was expecting.
Feeling somewhat stuffy in the dormitory, Lin Jin took off his jacket and hung it on the nearby wardrobe, closed the back door, took off his sweater, and was finally not so hot in a short-sleeved shirt. However, his bare forearms were so cold that goosebumps formed.
Rubbing his arms a couple of times, Lin Jin promptly closed the laptop screen, crawled onto the bed with his phone, and laid down on the thick quilt, rubbing his face on the soft blanket and humming contentedly.
"I'm back" the front door suddenly opened, and Wu Min walked in, looking defeated. He slumped in a chair, glanced at the curious Lin Jin peering from the bed, and, collapsing, grabbed his head, saying, "I'm nearly driven mad by Feng Jing. I told her very clearly that she and I are impossible, that you and I have nothing to do with each other, but she just won't believe it."
"Believe what?" Lin Jin propped up his upper body with his hands, looking at Wu Min.
"She doesn't believe that you and I have nothing to do with each other. She even said that I don't like her because you and I are still together or something." Wu Min was almost going crazy, grabbing his hair in frustration, suppressing a roar, "She even started to urge me to break up with you! We have nothing going on, okay? It was embarrassing enough online, and now she's telling me directly where you're not as good as her and all that."
"What a crazy woman!" Wu Min leaned his forehead on the table, looking at the floor, feeling like he was about to be mentally weakened by both Feng Jing and Lin Jin. "I almost slapped her."
Lin Jin shrugged his shoulders. Wasn't Wu Min's problem self-inflicted? If he hadn't started the mess to get rid of Feng Jing and used a baseless excuse, acting as if it was true, Feng Jing wouldn't have been so persistent, right?
"So what are you going to do next?" Lin Jin thought that the task would be completed after this time, but Feng Jing was still relentless, causing his task to remain unfinished. According to black cat's three-day deadline, there was only one day left to deal with Feng Jing.
"How would I know..." Wu Min sighed helplessly, completely at a loss. "If all else fails, you go ahead. Feng Jing said she's better than you in every way, so just make her think you're better than her."
"Like what?" Lin Jin asked casually.
"Like in novels, if your performance at the New Year's Eve gala gets a better reaction than hers, you've beaten her." Wu Min suddenly became excited, seeming eager to see a confrontation between Feng Jing and Lin Jin. "And if you dress up again for the New Year's Eve gala, make her think you're way prettier than her."
"Get lost." Lin Jin, completely uninterested, turned over to face the wall.
By the time of the New Year's Eve gala, my task would have already failed, okay?
"Then how about just flaunting yourself dressed up in front of her?" Wu Min became somewhat excited at the thought of Lin Jin in women's clothing. He stood up and came over to Lin Jin's bedside, the dejected look from before nowhere to be seen. "Or more directly, just go and confront her in a gentleman's duel or something."
"You crazy?" Lin Jin glanced at Wu Min, who had just poked his head up by the bed. "When did you become so childish? A gentleman's duel? Fight her?"
"You're the one with a problem in the head." Rolling his eyes, Lin Jin flopped down into his blanket.
After all, failing the task would only result in losing one item. Losing that branded underwear might even be a good thing. But Feng Jing might go around proclaiming he was a woman or a cross-dresser, and this matter might become a talking point in class.
My reputation, oh, my reputation~
Seeing that he couldn't sway Lin Jin, Wu Min felt helpless and headed straight to the balcony, intending to go to the bathroom and wash his face. At that moment, however, Lin Jin realized that the phone in his hand had suddenly vibrated.
He raised his head suspiciously, bringing the phone before him.
If it was a vibration related to the task, it should be more prolonged and intense, but this vibration was very brief. It was probably a QQ message or a text of some sort.
Unlocking the screen, Lin Jin found a text message from an unknown number that he hadn't saved before.
"Who's this?"
Muttering to himself, Lin Jin opened the message. A brief glance was all it took for his face to turn dark.
"Lin Jin, you and Wu Min will never be together. Do you think you can be with Wu Min if you change your gender in the future? Wu Min's family will never agree to a transgender person marrying Wu Min, okay?"
"Is this person nuts? Water got in the brain?" Lin Jin couldn't believe he'd actually encountered such a dim-witted woman. Wu Min had explained to her two or three times, right? Yet this woman still thought he and Wu Min were together. "And she's been going around talking about how I'm this and that. This woman's intelligence must have a problem, right?"
Lin Jin couldn't be bothered with her. Even if the task failed and he lost an item, the most significant impact would only be rumors in the class. Though initially angered by the gossip, he now saw things differently.
Apart from his own dormitory mates and the students next door, he didn't even recognize the names of others in different dormitories. Why should he care? Besides, such baseless rumors would be forgotten by the next semester.
The phone vibrated again, and Lin Jin opened the message to see just how foolish this woman could be.
"You're not as pretty as me, not as talented, and as a man, you can't be as virtuous as me. Leaving Wu Min voluntarily would be good for both you and me. And don't you feel ashamed of seducing your own roommate? Don't you know that a rabbit doesn't eat the grass by its burrow? If you give Wu Min to me, I can even introduce a few men for you to choose from. How about that?"
Lin Jin's face grew even darker. When had he ever seduced Wu Min? And introduce a few men? Damn it! Who the hell wants your introductions?
Wu Min returned from the balcony and immediately noticed Lin Jin's face, dark as charcoal, and curiously asked, "What happened?"
"Feng Jing's brain must be waterlogged." Lin Jin's face was stern, filled with anger as he huffed, "I think I should find an opportunity to beat her down until she becomes an idiot. otherwise, she's too arrogant."
"What did she say to make you so angry?" Wu Min stood by Lin Jin's bedside, his face full of curiosity.
"Here." Lin Jin handed the phone directly to Wu Min, his whole body trembling with rage, and he clenched his teeth, pounding a fist onto the pillow. "This person is a lunatic! A pervert! Her IQ must be no higher than fifty!"
Lin Jin found the dormitory empty when he returned.
Yawning, he sat down and laid his head straight on the table, his mind filled with scenes of Wu Min and Feng Jing's conversation on the basketball court.
