"Are you alright?"

This is a message from Jiang Qingyue.

Lin Ye smiled knowingly upon seeing this, then suddenly started stirring things up: "Do you think the world would be better off without me?"

Jiang Qingyue was shocked when she saw the message, and thought to herself, "Could this kid have had a mental breakdown due to being cyberbullied?"

Since typing was too slow, Jiang Qingyue simply sent a voice message, calmly comforting Lin Ye not to take it too seriously, and saying that she was ready and would soon help him deal with the public opinion.

She had just removed her finger from the voice input area when she saw Lin Ye's follow-up message.

"Since that's the case, I must live well and let this messed-up world continue to be bad."

The image below was accompanied by a cheeky panda emoji.

Jiang Qingyue laughed. Even at a time like this, this kid still had the mood to make fun of himself. It seems he didn't take the online opinions seriously at all.

She sent a question mark in an annoyed tone, but her tense expression visibly relaxed.

As Lin Ye listened to the voice message, the smile on his face slowly faded, and his heart was filled with complex emotions.

He had only intended to tease Jiang Qingyue, since they were used to bickering and joking around, but he didn't expect that she had already made preparations for him.

The hardest thing to bear is the kindness of a beautiful woman.

Lin Ye stared silently at the question marks in the chat history, his typing fingers hovering in the air, unsure how to reply.

How could Lin Ye not notice Jiang Qingyue's special feelings for him?

But Lin Ye didn't dare to point it out, because if he did, they might not even be able to remain friends. He also couldn't bear to distance himself from Jiang Qingyue directly, since during his lowest years, Jiang Qingyue had always treated him sincerely and helped him a lot.

Therefore, Lin Ye always acted unseriously in front of Jiang Qingyue, trying to cover up his dishonesty in this way.

He already had Song Ruoxi in his heart, even if the two of them might not have a happy ending in the end.

"Thank you in advance, Sister Jiang. I'll try to solve it first, and if I really can't, I'll come back to ask for your help."

After a long while, Lin Ye solemnly typed these words on his phone.

Jiang Qingyue was stunned when she saw the message, not expecting Lin Ye to reject her kindness.

"Are you sure you don't need to? I can let you..."

Jiang Qingyue stopped typing halfway through.

Lin Ye sent a voice message.

She opened the voice message, listened to it, then stared silently at the input box before deleting the content bit by bit.

In the end, she only replied with a single word: "Okay".

……

"sorry."

This is news from Song Ruoxi.

Why do you say that?

Lin Ye had just replied when Song Ruoxi requested a video call.

Lin Ye clicked "agree," and a very haggard-looking pretty face appeared on the screen.

"Why does it sound like you're the one who got cyberbullied?" Lin Ye couldn't help but laugh.

Song Ruoxi gave a bitter smile, her eyes filled with guilt: "I thought that by compromising with them..."

Lin Ye gently shook his head, indicating that Song Ruoxi didn't need to blame herself.

"Am I really that useless?" Song Ruoxi's voice choked with emotion, no longer as clear and melodious as before. "I can't do anything, I can only watch you get tripped up..."

"Yes," Lin Ye nodded seriously, "very useless."

Song Ruoxi froze, and the tears in her eyes stopped falling.

"Your crying and sobbing won't do any good. What I need is the confident and radiant Song Ruoxi." Lin Ye's eyes were smiling, and his tone was gentle. "I need her to cheer me on, and then I can control that little Song family."

As he spoke, Lin Ye pinched two fingers together, making a funny face.

Song Ruoxi burst into laughter through her tears.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Lin Ye's tone was gentle, with a reassuring certainty. "I know his methods, and I know how to deal with him."

The "he" Lin Ye mentioned is named Song Mingzhe, a wicked young man who likes to manipulate people's hearts.

When Lin Ye was a freshman, Song Mingzhe suppressed Lin Ye in the name of the Song family, which was the main reason why Lin Ye later became decadent.

Lin Ye is not afraid of him now.

"Since you want to play, then let's have some fun."

Lin Ye's tone was chilling.

……

after a while.

The hype surrounding the "Hannibal" incident gradually subsided, and only a handful of people remained at the school, secretly filming Lin Ye.

Because Lin Ye seemed completely unaffected by the cyberbullying, the video had no explosive potential, and many people left after a day or two, leaving only a few internet celebrities who were live-streaming and trying to ride the wave of popularity.

Ah Liang is one of them.

Having witnessed the horror of cyberbullying, he completely disbelieved that anyone could remain calm under such overwhelming public opinion. He had repeatedly asserted in his live streams that Lin Ye's demeanor was absolutely an act.

As the doubts in the live stream grew louder, A-Liang glared at Lin Ye, who was preparing to return to his dormitory, with hostility in his eyes.

As usual, Lin Ye walked downstairs to the dormitory building. When he took out his access card, he accidentally dropped his phone on the ground.

Ah Liang noticed the detail of Lin Ye's trembling hands. He knew that prolonged emotional suppression could easily lead to this situation, so he loudly announced his discovery to the viewers in the live broadcast room, without any intention of hiding it from the person involved.

Lin Ye picked up the phone and looked at him with a gloomy expression.

Ah Liang was overjoyed. In just one moment, tens of thousands of viewers flooded into his live stream. He was now hoping that Lin Ye would lose control and rush up to confront him, which would cause his viewership to skyrocket.

Lin Ye turned and went upstairs, not giving him a chance to stage an accident.

Ah Liang felt a little regretful, but he quickly composed himself and enthusiastically explained the details to the viewers in the live stream, emphasizing once again that Lin Ye's calmness was all an act.

A dozen minutes later, as Ah Liang was preparing to end his broadcast as usual, an ambulance suddenly pulled up next to his dormitory.

Ah Liang was overjoyed.

I'm really lucky today, one hot topic after another is popping up.

He grabbed his live-streaming equipment, plunged into the front row of the crowd, and simultaneously typed rapidly in the fan group:

"Something terrible has happened at Lungmen Communication University; ambulances are already downstairs at the boys' dormitory."

The live stream room became lively again, with netizens who loved watching the drama constantly forwarding the live stream link, and A-Liang's live stream room jumped to the number one spot in "Longmen City Outdoor Live Stream Popularity".

Upon seeing the trending news pop-up, A-Liang couldn't stop smiling.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from the stairwell, and Ah Liang quickly pointed the camera at the dormitory door.

The first people to appear in the frame were several doctors in white coats, wearing masks that only revealed their eyes, carrying a stretcher and walking quickly by.

The stretcher was covered with a white sheet, the human figure was stiff, and a large patch of scarlet blood was soaked in the left side of the neck, dripping down the edge of the sheet and leaving a trail of blood on the ground, which was a shocking sight.

As he passed the dormitory entrance, the white cloth seemed to be stuck by something, instantly revealing Lin Ye's bloodless face.

Lin Ye's eyes were vacant, and a deep gash was cut open on the left side of his neck. The blood around the wound had dried, as if he had bled out completely...

Ah Liang shivered silently.

That night, a trending topic went viral across the internet.
