After his blunder in the handsome guy's comment section was exposed.

Under his burning gaze, Lin Xuechun opened her lips, about to answer him, when the phone in her hand suddenly vibrated.

She subconsciously lowered her eyes, and a WeChat message notification popped up on her screen—

"Want to hook up? I'm pretty big."

It was sent by Gong Shaoyang.

This is utterly baffling!

It's disgusting!

Lin Xuechun frowned in disgust, preparing to look away and ignore him.

Anyway, she rarely replies to his messages.

But then another message popped up—

Gong Shaoyang: [I know your secret.]

secret?

What secret?

Considering the previous message was quite significant, Lin Xuechun felt a sudden tightness in her chest and couldn't help but reply: 【What are you trying to say?】

Gong Shaoyang: [Finally, he replied to my WeChat message.]

[You don't want to meet up with people in real life, so you just enjoy playing virtual sex games with men online.]

【Picture.jpg】

When Lin Xuechun saw the second sentence, her heart skipped a beat.

My fingers trembled slightly as I tapped the image.

The image was actually a screenshot of her chat history with ksmk123!

Her face turned deathly pale, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar!

Those secrets that were too shameful to show to others, the most hidden corners of one's heart, were thus laid bare and exposed to the sun!

Why did Gong Shaoyang have her chat history?

How did he get it?

Her phone is password protected!

What should I do? What should I do now... Waaaaaah...

Shock, panic, lingering fear, shame... a mix of emotions welled up in my heart.

She stared blankly at her phone, her breathing quickening, her vision blurring, her mind a blank, buzzing mess.

The phone is still vibrating—

What do you think Xi Chenzhou's reaction will be when he sees this?

Does he know you're burning so much money in private?

【Don't you think you're disgusting?】

I'm actually quite curious.

News about Gong Shaoyang kept popping up.

It pierced Lin Xuechun's eyes like a needle.

She suppressed her emotions, pretended nothing was wrong, and looked up at Xi Chenzhou across from her.

He was still waiting for her answer, his gaze burning and focused, fixed on her face.

Lin Xuechun felt a pang of sadness; just seconds before, she had almost nodded in agreement.

But the screenshot Gong Shaoyang sent was like a bucket of ice water poured over her head, freezing all her courage.

If he sees those chat logs, how will he view her?

They'd definitely think she's dirty.

I felt that all her previous shy and timid reactions were just an act.

Do you find her disgusting?

The thought of him looking at her with that cold, distant, and disdainful gaze made Lin Xuechun feel as if a million tiny needles were pricking her skin at once, a dense, stinging pain spreading from her fingertips to her back.

Her fingers gripped the edge of the phone tightly, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably.

I can hardly breathe.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Xi Chenzhou noticed that she didn't look well.

Lin Xuechun shook her head, forcing herself to maintain her composure, and stood up: "I'm sorry, something suddenly came up and I need to get back quickly."

She gripped her phone tightly and slung her backpack over her shoulder.

"So urgent?"

"Yeah, my roommate is looking for me."

"What I just said... what have you thought about?" Xi Chenzhou pursed his lips, picked up the water on the table, took a sip, and looked at her tentatively.

"Can I...can I think about it some more?" Lin Xuechun lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him at all.

I'm afraid that if I look at him, I'll feel wronged and burst into tears.

"Okay," Xi Chenzhou didn't press her. He picked up his own bag and got up as well. "I'll take you home."

On the way back, Lin Xuechun was thinking about the chat history. She was tense and dazed, and didn't even know how she got on and off the bus. She just mechanically followed Xi Chenzhou.

Xi Chenzhou escorted her to her dormitory building. "You don't look well. Get some rest."

"Yes, thank you for today." Lin Xuechun forced a smile, then turned and went upstairs.

Go back to dorms.

Zhou Xinran had been waiting for her: "Baby, you're finally back! Hey, your phone is fixed."

Zhou Xinran handed over the phone and continued packing her luggage. She had rented a place outside and came back to get her clothes.

Lin Xuechun got the phone, turned it on, and sure enough, the previous unlock password was gone.

It must have been hacked when the phone was being repaired.

Then I remembered that Gong Shaoyang was in the dorm next to Xu Yang's, and he was roommates with the guy who repaired phones. That's probably how he saw her phone.

However, it's no longer important to investigate how the leak occurred; her privacy has already been seen by Gong Shaoyang.

Xu Yang was just trying to help, and Lin Xuechun wouldn't blame him for this.

"Thank you, Ranran. Please thank Xu Yang for me too." Lin Xuechun tried her best to maintain a normal expression and demeanor so that Zhou Xinran wouldn't notice anything unusual.

"Oh, it's no big deal, there's no need for us to be so polite," Zhou Xinran winked at Lin Xuechun, picked up her schoolbag, and said, "Baby, take your time checking. If there are any problems, I'll have Xu Yang find that classmate to help you fix them. I'm leaving now."

"Okay, bye-bye." Lin Xuechun waved.

After Zhou Xinran left, Lin Xuechun let out a heavy sigh, frowned, and took out the SIM card to put it into her old phone.

Gong Shaoyang messaged her again on the way, but she didn't dare reply because Xi Chenzhou was sitting next to her and she was afraid of being seen. She only opened the message now.

Gong Shaoyang: [Ignoring me again?]

[Fine, if you don't reply soon, I can't guarantee where those screenshots will end up.]

A naked threat.

Lin Xuechun stared at the words, her palms began to sweat, and she had difficulty breathing.

I was extremely panicked.

What exactly do you want to do?

Gong Shaoyang: [You finally replied to me.]

I don't want to do anything, I just want to play around with you.

Lin Xuechun, suppressing her disgust, said: "Is this really funny?"

Gong Shaoyang: [If I think it's interesting, that's fine. Have lunch with me tomorrow at the first cafeteria.]

Lin Xuechun: [I have something to do at noon.]

Gong Shaoyang: [I have many screenshots of your chats on my phone. Do you want to see them? Or do you want everyone to know how promiscuous you are with male netizens in private?]

Lin Xuechun's hands were shaking as she typed: 【This is an invasion of someone's privacy!】

Gong Shaoyang: [Privacy? Fine, go tell everyone then, and see who's the most shameless.]

His words precisely struck at Lin Xuechun's Achilles' heel.

If those screenshots get out, she's really finished.

What will the classmates think of her at the reunion?

What will the teacher think?

And what if parents found out that their proud, obedient daughter actually...

As she thought about it, Lin Xuechun's eyes gradually reddened, a sour feeling welled up from her nose, and tears welled up in her eyes. She sniffed, pouted, and looked as pitiful as a small animal cornered against a wall, not knowing what was in front of her or where she could retreat to.

Those screenshots are like a knife hanging over my head, I never know when it will fall.

She had no choice but to go along with him and agree to his demands.

With tears in her eyes, she typed: "I promise you, please delete all my chat history."

Gong Shaoyang replied quickly: "Anything is fine as long as it makes me happy."

Lin Xuechun knew that such words were just an empty promise.

From now on, she will be at Gong Shaoyang's mercy because of this.

The feeling was like an invisible rope had bound her, and she couldn't escape.

I closed my eyes in despair, and my phone vibrated again.

It's a private message from Douyin.

ksmk123: [Baby, are you there?]

Lin Xuechun no longer dares to make careless remarks online.

She was afraid that Gong Shaoyang had secretly followed ksmk123, and if he exposed her information to him, she would have no privacy left on ksmk123.

Equivalent to dying twice

She pouted, looking aggrieved, and typed: "Brother, let's not contact each other anymore."

ksmk123: [Why?]

Lin Xuechun didn't want to tell the other person about the reality, so she came up with what she thought was a reasonable excuse: "I have a boyfriend. I won't be logging into this account anymore."

Goodbye, brother.

After sending the message, Lin Xuechun completely uninstalled Douyin.
