Chapter 2837 Performances Everywhere
After sending the message, Xia Lin said goodbye and went back to her dormitory.
As soon as she opened the door, before she could even put down her bag, her phone vibrated—it was a message from Marcy asking, "Are you back yet?"
As Charlene took off her coat, she typed a reply: "Just got back to the dorm, what's up?"
Marcy quickly replied, her tone clearly teasing, "It's nothing, I'm just worried that my brother will lure you out for the night and you won't come back to the dorm."
Charlene couldn't help but laugh out loud, shook her head, and replied quickly with her fingertips: "I think you're worrying about the wrong thing. He doesn't have any feelings for me at all. On the contrary, I'm the one who's obsessed with winning him over."
Marcy replied instantly, "If you really had that kind of guts, I wouldn't be worrying about you like this."
Charlene held her phone, unconsciously pursing her lips.
Thinking to myself, I'm not really that timid, am I?
At least she has been actively trying to get closer to him and find opportunities to spend time with him.
However, this snail's pace of progress is indeed somewhat "touching".
She sighed softly.
I'm suddenly a little envious of Shi Yi and Tu Ya's rocket-like speed.
After chatting casually with Marcy for a while, Charlene put down her phone and got up to wash up.
Then she went to bed early and drifted off to sleep.
The following morning, Xia Lin attended two professional classes on time.
During break, a classmate rushed over to her and said, "Xia Lin, someone is looking for you at the school gate."
Charlene was a little confused, as she hadn't made any appointments with anyone!
Since everyone said they were looking for her, she didn't think much of it, packed up her textbooks, and headed to the school gate.
Unexpectedly, it was Lee Ji-eun waiting there.
Upon seeing this person, Xia Lin unconsciously frowned, a strong sense of disgust welling up inside her, and she almost instinctively wanted to turn around and leave.
However, Lee Ji-eun had already run over quickly, grabbed Xia Lin's hand, and said with obvious urgency and dissatisfaction, "Xia Lin, I came here specifically to see you, is this your attitude?"
Charlene frowned, withdrew her hand, and replied coldly, "I don't think there's anything more to say between us."
On the surface, Lee Ji-eun put on a pitiful appearance, with tears of grievance glistening in her eyes, but her tone was domineering as she said fiercely, "I apologized to you publicly online, why do you ignore it?"
Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me so that more people can laugh at me and make fun of me?
Charlene scoffed, her eyes devoid of any warmth. "When did I ever say I wanted you to apologize?"
Besides, even if you apologize, am I obligated to accept it?
You didn't even tell me when you hurt me!
Now look what's happened, they've come here pretending to be pitiful and trying to use moral blackmail.
Lee Ji-eun, you know best in your heart how sincere your apology is. Don't put on an act in front of me; I won't buy it!
After saying that, Charlene turned to leave.
Lee Ji-eun rushed forward and grabbed her wrist.
Charlene immediately frowned and said coldly, "Let go."
But Lee Ji-eun didn't let go. Instead, she suddenly knelt down, tears streaming down her face, and said in a choked voice, "Xia Lin, I know I was wrong. I've come to beg for your forgiveness."
I was out of my mind before, which is why I did those things that hurt you.
I don't expect you to forgive me right away; I just hope you can be magnanimous and not hold it against me.
Her tone was full of regret and pleading, which was very convincing.
Charlene's forehead veins throbbed.
Why is this woman suddenly adopting this posture? What is she trying to do?
But her intuition told her that Lee Ji-eun was definitely up to no good and was plotting something bad again.
She instinctively shook off the other person's hand, trying to create distance and get away from this dangerous woman.
As a result, Lee Ji-eun fell heavily to the ground as if she had been pushed, accompanied by an extremely exaggerated scream, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
It was during break time, and many students were coming and going. Hearing the commotion, they all stopped and curiously gathered around.
Everyone started chattering, asking, "What's going on? What happened?"
"Hey, isn't that Lee Ji-eun and Senior Xia Lin?"
"How did you fall so badly? It looks like it hurts so much!"
"What's going on now?"
"I think I just saw Xia Lin push Lee Ji-eun?"
"Impossible! Lee Ji-eun is a master of self-directed drama. Who knows if she's deliberately framing Xia Lin again this time?"
"You bet! The expression on her face was so fake, it was obviously an act."
The students watching whispered among themselves, and the scene suddenly became very tense.
Charlene looked unwell; she was genuinely disgusted.
This woman keeps putting on the same act over and over again; she never gets tired of it.
Xia Lin looked down at Lee Ji-eun, her tone resolute and unquestionable, "Lee Ji-eun, that's enough. You're always causing trouble and performing all the time. Aren't you tired?"
It's your choice to apologize, but it's my right whether I accept it or not. Don't try to morally blackmail me here.
Just because you're weak doesn't mean you're right.
She paused briefly, her gaze sharpening, and continued, "And another thing, the same old tricks, wanting to do it again? Do you really think I'm stupid, that I haven't prepared anything?"
Whether I pushed it or it fell by itself, my watch recorded the whole thing.
Moreover, there are surveillance cameras at the main entrance, capturing everything clearly.
Lee Ji-eun wasn't flustered at all; she didn't want to continue using this excuse to bother her.
With red eyes and a slightly trembling voice, she looked extremely aggrieved as she explained, "You've misunderstood, Xia Lin."
I didn't say you pushed me; I just lost my balance and fell.
But you can't make such malicious assumptions about me! I'm here to apologize sincerely, but you just don't want to believe it.
What do I have to do to make you believe in my sincerity in repenting?
If that doesn't work, then... I'll kneel down and kowtow to you to admit my mistake, okay?
Without waiting for Xia Lin's reaction, she immediately changed from sitting on the ground to kneeling and kowtowing several times. Her movements were swift and decisive.
Charlene was dumbfounded, her eyes wide open.
This woman... she's really willing to go to any lengths to achieve her goals!
Face and dignity are utterly worthless in her eyes.
Just as Charlene was at a loss, unsure whether to help her up or say something,
Suddenly someone rushed over from the side, grabbed her arm, and said urgently, "What are you standing there for? Run!"
"It's so unlucky for a perfectly healthy person to be worshipped!"
Before he could finish speaking, the man quickly pulled Xia Lin around and rushed towards a car parked on the side of the road without looking back.
