They don't actually think I like them, do they?

Some capable and influential figures on Baidu Tieba have already begun to take action.

In fact, opening up someone's private life, especially doing so, is very dangerous because it's a matter of walking the line between illegality and criminality, and you could easily end up in jail.

Unless there is some deep-seated hatred, such as someone cheating you out of several thousand yuan or stealing your account and running away, most people would never do such a thing.

Is it worth it just for a music video to satisfy your desire to gossip?

This special group of netizens will tell you,

worth!

Because these netizens from Tieba are none other than the rats who have been lurking in the sewers for a long time!

They could tell at a glance that Xu Hui was one of their kind; they all saw their own reflections in him.

These rat people, who never see the sunlight, are disliked, and have never had their own love story in this world, suffer from the most severe form of gynophobia.

The song "Ugly Monster" not only brought sorrow to all the rat people, but also brought their fear of women to a new peak.

This female protagonist has offended a group that she can bully in real life, but absolutely cannot offend online!

They easily found out that the male protagonist's current school is Beijing Jiaotong University, majoring in civil engineering, and he is a freshman in 2022.

The female lead, whom everyone was most concerned about, was a bit difficult to find. However, to the rats' surprise, someone who was supposedly the female lead's classmate anonymously revealed her name to them.

"Wang Ya".

"Class of 2021, Teacher Training Program."

Case closed.

But once the name appears, there's no need to delve any deeper.

When the first person rises up in rebellion, it quickly spreads like wildfire.

This can also be interpreted as—when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down.

Not long after, a post appeared on Weibo from someone claiming to be a student from the same school as Wang Ya.

The headline reads: "Shocking! The real-life inspiration for the female lead in Orange Jam's new song 'Ugly Monster' music video is someone I know!"

"Who knows, family members! The gossip has spread to our own school! I was just talking about this with my friends last week. This Wang Ya was famous in our department for dating three different guys in one week. I never expected that she would be 'honored' to be written into a music video this time."

You'd think it was one thing for her to mess around with those playboys, but this time she even managed to fool an honest guy like the male lead.

This woman's specialty is playing the victim in front of men, saying that her family treats her badly and that she has childhood trauma that prevents her from dating.

LOL, the truth is there are almost more fish in my fishpond than men I've added on WeChat...

This article quickly caused a huge uproar.

The keyword "Wang Ya from Beijing Jiaotong University" began to spread rapidly online.

　Despite Weibo's efforts to suppress the popularity of this type of topic and prevent it from trending, it still couldn't stop angry netizens who learned about it from various channels from flooding Weibo.

"Damn it, this is giving me high blood pressure! How can there be such a disgusting woman?"

"Playing the victim to gain sympathy and then exploiting emotions, my God..."

"That male protagonist, he's never been in a relationship before, he's an honest and upright college student, his own life is a mess, and he still has to comfort and take care of you, and then you just sleep with him?"

"Damn it, you'll be a rotten crotch for the rest of your life!"

The online public opinion quickly translated into real-world reactions.

Soon, the entire Beijing Jiaotong University knew that there was a girl named Wang Ya in the teacher training program who was an absolute bad woman.

From that day on, wherever Xiaoya went, many people would turn their heads and take pictures.

Some of the bolder ones even went up to Xiaoya and filmed her directly in the face with their phones.

"Hey! Look, that's Wang Ya!"

"Come and see Wang Ya!"

096. The Dejected Mangzi

When faced with this situation, Xiaoya would often frown, lower her head, and quickly leave.

Ever since the music video started gaining traction, everything in the girl's life has changed.

In the past, Xiaoya had bold makeup and trendy clothes. Because of her cheerful personality, she was liked by many people wherever she went.

Now she's like an outsider. Wherever she goes, people cast curious and disgusted glances at her, and whispers that are hard to bear.

The attention burned like fire on her face, making her extremely uncomfortable.

In the past, Xiaoya often appeared on the street with a rebellious makeup and outfit, which drew disapproving looks from many older people with more traditional views.

But those unfriendly looks never made Xiaoya waver in the slightest. She believed that freedom of dress was inviolable, and she should wear whatever she liked.

However, now, in order to avoid those crazy cameras at school, she has started wearing a hat and mask when she goes out, and dressed in ordinary clothes, just to avoid attracting attention.

However, some people can still recognize her by her hair color.

Once, when Xiaoya was running on the playground, a boy ran past from behind and bumped her hard with his shoulder.

Xiaoya lost her balance and stumbled, taking several steps on the track before she could barely regain her footing.

She looked ahead in horror. The boy turned his head and said fiercely.

　"Pah! You rotten crotch, how dare you show your face?!"

Xiaoya couldn't take it anymore.

She poured out her troubles to her roommates at the bubble tea shop.

"What did I do wrong?! All I did was reject Xu Hui's confession, and I didn't even date him. What's wrong with me dating other guys?"

“Indeed.” My roommate took a sip of milk tea and said seriously.

“I admit that we did have some ambiguous interactions, but that was only because we were good friends. I do the same with my other friends! Why is he the one who's overthinking things?”

“Indeed,” my roommate sighed.

"I really can't take it anymore. Those people are saying I'm 'keeping fish' (a euphemism for having extramarital affairs). Does normal chatting count as 'keeping fish'? I didn't sleep with any of them, and Xu Hui and I broke up peacefully. Xu Hui didn't say anything. What kind of righteous people are these who know nothing? What did I do wrong...?"

"puff--"

My roommate covered his mouth, then quickly put on a serious face.

"Yep."

Xiaoya stopped.

She looked at her roommate with a puzzled expression.

"why are you laughing?"

"I remember happy things."

"What happy thing?"

"Juju Jam has released a new song."

"you......"

Xiaoya's face turned bright red, and she pointed at her roommate, unable to speak.

As Xiaoya walked out of the teaching building after the last class in the evening, she saw the junior she had gone shopping with last week walking towards the stairwell.

Xiaoya waved enthusiastically to her junior.

This junior is fair-skinned and handsome, the kind of guy who's like a cute puppy. Xiaoya, as his senior, gave him a lot of help when he first started school, helping him integrate into the school quickly.

My junior often says that meeting Xiaoya was the happiest thing for him when he got into this university.

However, upon seeing Xiaoya, the junior immediately lowered his head, pretending not to recognize her, and quickly walked away from the crowd.

Xiaoya was puzzled. Ten minutes later, she received a WeChat message from her junior in the dormitory.

"Senior Xiaoya, please don't greet me at school anymore, especially in our college. I don't want others to know that we know each other. Let's pretend we've never met. I hope you understand."

Upon seeing the message, Xiaoya frantically scratched her hair into a tangled mess and then rolled around on the bed.

During this period, as the popularity of "Ugly Monster" increased, more and more people noticed this revelation.

The name "Wang Ya" has gradually become a derogatory term.

If you want to call someone a "green tea bitch," you can say she's Wang Ya.

If you want to insult someone by calling them a fisherman, a playboy, or a slut, you can also use Wang Ya to describe them.

This has led to the emergence of many popular phrases online, such as:

"Don't be too pretentious!"

"I hope you find someone like Wang Ya in the future!"

When arguing with a woman online, you can verbally abuse her a dozen times, but you absolutely cannot call her "Wang Ya"—that would be worse than killing her!

However, not everyone can empathize with the male lead in the music video.

As the story gained more attention, Xiaoya's experiences of being discriminated against at school began to be exposed online.

There are even rumors that Xiaoya has developed depression because of this incident!

As a result, more and more girls could no longer remain silent. They began to shout "girl help girl" and speak out for Xiaoya!

"That's pretty much the same as being a lizard! Putting aside the facts, is the boy completely without fault?!"

"Perhaps Wang Ya did make a mistake, but it's not worth so many men criticizing her!"

"Unbelievable! Such a humiliating feast for women is actually taking place online right now!"

"I'm speechless. I thought it was a big deal. So what if she went on a date with someone else after breaking up with you? What, does she expect you to be a widow for life? Can men stop being so self-righteous?"

Many people were initially confused by these remarks.

This was originally an attack targeting "bad girls," so how did it suddenly escalate to the topic of gender?

Suddenly being accused of "insulting women" is a huge burden that can't be taken by anyone.

However, those who realized what was happening immediately retaliated.

"No way, you defend her while you're raising fish yourself, right? How can you defend a woman like that?!"

"Are you pretending to be someone else? You chatted with several guys at the same time, talking about all sorts of flirtatious and private things, and then you turn around and say it wasn't a fling and that you were just friends?"

This topic quickly escalated into a major debate, sparking widespread discussion on platforms such as Weibo, Douyin, and Tieba.

For a time, the entire internet was in an uproar, filled with chaos and confusion.

Lin Han's Collapse Index has seen explosive growth in the past few days, increasing by 80,000 in three days.

Every data update means that somewhere online, the level of hostility has reached its peak!

As a result, Xiaoya's life became a little better, because what was once an "undeniable crime" became a "controversial topic," and there were far fewer people openly giving her dirty looks and taking photos of her without her knowledge.　

However, in reality, even at the height of the cyberbullying, Xiaoya did not suffer any substantial harm in this whole affair.

After all, playing with emotions isn't illegal.

Her studies continued as normal, and she didn't miss a single class. However, she was somewhat affected and wasn't as cheerful as before.

It seems that this matter has come to an end.

......

It's another weekend, sunny and the weather is great, perfect for going out and having fun.

Mangzi excitedly called Lin Han.

"Lin Han, I managed to snag two water park tickets in a live stream a couple of days ago, but I wasted them all. Want to come with me? As compensation, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

Mangzi made ample preparations for this invitation.

First, she learned about Lin Han's work schedule through Hu Yan and found out that Lin Han had no plans for this weekend.

Secondly, in order to show Lin Han her best side at the water park, Mangzi specially pulled Taozi to increase the intensity of their training during this period, and brought back the abs that had disappeared for a long time.

And then there's her trump card: a yellow cartoon swimsuit. Orange picked it out for her—cute yet alluring!

You little brat, I've got you covered this time!

Of course, the most important thing for Lin Han was the free tickets and free dinner.
