    Editor:Dragon Boat Trantion


    Upon hearing Murong Yumeng’s inquiry, Xiao Lingling paused for a moment, then promptly retrieved her phone. After a quick nce, she replied, “Senior Sister, rest assured. The post about Ye Leng’an being kept is still at the top, and the discussion is heated. Many in the school are moring for swift action to persuade Ye Leng’an to leave.”


    Though slightly irked by Xiao Lingling’s sluggish response, Murong Yumeng’s mood brightened at the news. She nodded, continuing, “Keep an eye on it, don’t let the momentum wane. And see if you can incite more dissatisfaction among others.”


    “Got it.” Xiao Lingling nodded hesitantly. “But, can this really make Ye Leng’an drop out?”


    Universities harbored numerous kept students, both male and female, seeking a morefortable academic life. In today’s society, where poverty was mocked but not prostitution, such phenomena persisted. Could merely stirring up this issue force Ye Leng’an to withdraw?


    “The situation needs resolution.” Murong Yumeng shrugged nonchntly. “Whether Ye Leng’an leaves or not is immaterial to me. Even if she stays, she’ll struggle to fit in.”


    Xiao Lingling grinned obsequiously. “Senior Sister, your foresight is admirable. Zhou Cui’an might not even realize she’s being used!”


    Murong Yumeng’s smile vanished. “This is all Zhou Cui’an’s doing. What’s it to do with me?”


    Realizing her blunder, Xiao Lingling quickly corrected herself, “Of course, it’s Zhou Cui’an’s own choice. She’s merely venting her frustrations towards Ye Leng’an. You’re just helping her out of acquaintance. You won’t gain anything from it.”<div>


    Satisfied, Murong Yumeng nodded and rose. “I’m off to see Zhou Cui’an. Keep the discussion hot on the forum.”


    Momentster, Murong Yumeng found Zhou Cui’an in the café, looking lost.


    Surprised by Zhou Cui’an’s demeanor, Murong Yumeng had expected to see her exuberant. Yet, regardless of her thoughts, Murong Yumeng maintained the role of a caring elder sister, sporting a gentle smile.


    “Junior Sister Zhou, how are your studies?” Murong Yumeng sat opposite Zhou Cui’an, smiling. “What prompted this meeting?”


    Seeing Murong Yumeng, Zhou Cui’an appeared relieved, though quicklyposed herself. “Senior Sister, you’re here! What would you like to drink? It’s on me.”


    Murong Yumeng, seemingly oblivious, ordered coffee and turned to Zhou Cui’an with a smile. “Why did you ask me out today?”


    Zhou Cui’an’s smile remained stiff. After a pause, she said, “Have you heard about the recent forum activity?”


    “You mean Ye Leng’an’s situation?” Murong Yumeng nodded. “It’s been quite the buzz. I couldn’t have missed it.”


    A hint of worry crossed Murong Yumeng’s face. “I wonder how Ye Leng’an is holding up.”


    Observing Murong Yumeng’s expression, Zhou Cui’an swallowed her words.


    “Is there something you’re not saying?” Murong Yumeng noticed Zhou Cui’an’s hesitation. “Are you having issues with Shaohua? Do you need my help to mediate?”


    “No, we’re fine,” Zhou Cui’an denied hastily. Then, after a moment’s contemtion, she bit her lip and confessed, “Senior Sister, I’m the one behind the forum posts.”


    “What?”


    As if shocked by the revtion, Murong Yumeng struggled to conceal her disbelief. Yet, after a moment, she regainedposure, her expression still incredulous. “Do you understand what you’re saying?”


    Surprised herself, Murong Yumeng couldn’t fathom why Zhou Cui’an would confess. Something must have prompted her.


    “Senior Sister Murong, I posted about Ye Leng’an on the forum,” Zhou Cui’an admitted. “But I didn’t make baseless usations! Ye Leng’an is already morallypromised. She shouldn’t fear exposure.”


    “You…” Murong Yumeng shook her head, sighing. “I’m at a loss for words. How could you do this? She is your roommate. You shouldn’t treat her like this.”


    “Senior Sister, don’t be fooled by Ye Leng’an’s innocent fa?ade,” Zhou Cui’an retorted indignantly. “You don’t know. Behind your back, she’s disdainful of you. I couldn’t tolerate her two-faced nature, so I wanted to expose her.”


    Murong Yumeng looked helpless. “Fine, I’ll overlook this today, and I won’t disclose it. But, don’t repeat such actions. Spreading rumors behind someone’s back is uneptable.”<div>
