CHAPTER 90: CHAPTER 90: A SPECTATOR

The group exchanged glances.

"It doesn’t matter. Your health is the most important. We can just admit defeat," Xu Muwei said.

"No way!"

An Shimeng became anxious. "Admitting defeat means that everyone will have to leave Luocheng University! How about this? I’ll admit defeat alone. I’ll go beg An Yan, ask her to let you all off."

"What nonsense are you spouting! Do we look like cowardly villains who fear death in your eyes?"

Chen Xiangyu stood up. "Since An Yan has used such tactics, we can’t let her have her way! At worst, none of us will hand in our theses, and it’ll be a draw."

"What do you mean by that?"

"It means, if An Yan has stolen our papers, then we won’t let her paper be published either! An eye for an eye, no one gets away!"

An Shimeng coughed up another mouthful of blood. "Is that a good idea? After all, I didn’t see the person at the time and can’t be sure that the robbers were sent by her."

"Whether or not, her thesis can’t be published! At most, we will accept a draw, and no one leaves Luocheng University!"

"Chen Xiangyu is right."

"But how do we do it?"

An Shimeng frowned, her face so pale it seemed as if she were on the verge of death.

"Leave this matter to us."

Chen Xiangyu stood up. "Mengmeng, you rest well. Xu Muwei, you stay and take care of Mengmeng. The rest of you, come with me."

Watching their impassioned departure, An Shimeng hid the triumph in her eyes and weakly closed her eyelids.

Xu Muwei’s heart ached again.

She went to the restroom, wet a handkerchief, and came back to wipe the blood from the corner of An Shimeng’s mouth.

An Shimeng felt her movements and whimpered, wrapping her arms around Xu Muwei’s waist and snuggling into her embrace. "Thank you, Weiwei. I don’t know what I would do without you!"

"There’s no need to be polite with me."

Xu Muwei relished the feeling of being relied upon, stroking An Shimeng’s back gently.

"It’s not politeness; I really mean it. From childhood until now, it’s always been you looking out for me! You’re so good!"

As An Shimeng spoke, she suddenly looked up and kissed Xu Muwei on the face.

Xu Muwei was startled.

Seeing her flustered, An Shimeng giggled and kissed her on the other cheek.

This time, Xu Muwei couldn’t hold back and tentatively kissed her back.

Then one kiss led to another, and somehow, their lips met.

As soon as they touched, An Shimeng yelped and shyly drew back.

But Xu Muwei was thoroughly aroused by her and held An Shimeng’s face with both hands, deepening the kiss!

The pair was unaware that an additional spectator had now gathered outside the hospital room.

Wang Ziyu had been studying in the library when a girl suddenly collapsed beside him, clutching her chest and looking pained. "Classmate, could you please take me to the hospital?"

Wang Ziyu immediately put his book down, helped the girl downstairs, and took a cab to the hospital.

And then he stumbled upon the scene unfolding before him.

Wang Ziyu had always had a weak constitution, frequently falling ill. Perhaps because of his frailty, he favored everything healthy, lively, and bright.

The health and vivacity that Xu Muwei emitted, along with her tomboyish, sunny disposition, especially attracted him.

So he took the initiative to pursue Xu Muwei. He didn’t really know what to do, just following her home in secret after school.

Once Xu Muwei was home, he would leave quietly by himself.

Eventually, Xu Muwei’s family discovered him, and they rather liked him. Later on, they arranged their marriage, just waiting until after college graduation to wed.

But now, his fiancée was kissing another girl.

Wang Ziyu wasn’t an unreasonable person. He saw clearly from outside the hospital room: Xu Muwei had just helped An Shimeng wipe her mouth, then An Shimeng threw herself at Xu Muwei for a kiss!

Then...

So all of this was An Shimeng’s fault!

Wang Ziyu fiercely pushed open the door.

"BANG!"

The two people hugging each other quickly separated.

An Shimeng touched her lips, a look of shock on her face, as if she couldn’t believe what she had just experienced.

Xu Muwei’s face turned dark immediately. "Wang Ziyu, why are you here? Are you following me?"

Wang Ziyu gave her a glance devoid of expression, then turned to look at An Shimeng. "Do me a favor and stay away from our Weiwei from now on!"

Having said that, he tried to pull Xu Muwei away, but to his surprise, Xu Muwei shook off his hand. "What’s gotten into you? If you have a problem, take it up with me. Why take it out on Mengmeng?"

Wang Ziyu frowned. "You’re defending her? Can’t you see she’s seducing you?"

Xu Muwei looked at him impatiently. "I’m happy. It’s my choice. What’s it to you?"

Wang Ziyu looked at her as if struck by lightning, with a gaze as if he didn’t know her. After a long moment, he said, "Xu Muwei, don’t be foolish. You’re a girl, and girls shouldn’t be kissing girls. That’s not normal. You’ve been deceived by her."

"Shut up!"

Xu Muwei flared up. "I know what I’m doing! I don’t need your preaching! I’ll talk to my parents and return your family’s betrothal gifts to you. We’ll break off the engagement!"

Wang Ziyu’s complexion suddenly turned pale. "You want to break off our engagement for a girl like this?"

"Yes! Since you’ve seen it, I won’t hide it from you. I like Mengmeng!"

"But she’s only trying to use you! From the moment I came in, has she spoken a single word for you? No! She’s over there playing innocent, acting as if she doesn’t know what happened!"

Wang Ziyu might not have been in the best of health, but his mind was still sharp. "Looking at her expression, it’s clear she wants to put the blame for today’s incident on you, trying to make me think that you forced her!"

An Shimeng, huddled on the bed, playing the victim, felt things were going awry.

Before Xu Muwei could even look her way, she rolled her eyes and performed an on-the-spot fainting act.

Wang Ziyu was shocked by her clumsy act. "She’s pretending to be unconscious? Xu Muwei, are you seeing this?"

"SLAP!"

Xu Muwei slapped Wang Ziyu across the face. "I told you I’m the one who likes her! If you’re angry, take it out on me! Why drag her into this!"

In Xu Muwei’s heart, An Shimeng was fragile, pure, and in need of protection.

When their lips accidentally met just now, she felt An Shimeng’s shock and resistance.

So, it really was her who forced An Shimeng.

An Shimeng couldn’t figure it out for a moment. Then, caught by Wang Ziyu, mortified and regretful, she fainted. What was wrong with that?

And Wang Ziyu actually said she was faking!

Simply inhuman!

Sitting in the next room, looking at her computer while seriously enjoying the drama, An Yan was speechless.

This Wang Ziyu is just too weak, An Yan thought. He’d better not get overwhelmed by Xu Muwei’s presence. If he can’t stand up to Xu Muwei, what will he do?

She was worrying about this when she saw Wang Ziyu slowly clench his fists.

FIGHT! FIGHT!! An Yan intensely stared at Wang Ziyu’s hand.
