My Roommate Is a Dirty Talker (GL) - Chapter 23
Chunmian No, no, Lao Xue and I are just a simple CP. We’ve never even met in person. Honestly, I’m not even as close to her as I am to you.
Shen Weixiao was about to lose it. She frantically opened her laptop to check the comments. Many of the comments on the earlier chapters and the latest updates were asking if Shen Weixiao was Lao Xue. Some praised Shen Weixiao’s versatility, but most condemned the deception as unforgivable.
Tan Xin You and Lao Xue should clarify this. It’s not a big deal anyway. If it’s just a rumor, your statements will crush it.
Shen Weixiao was also pondering how to debunk this. Was she supposed to post photos of her ID card on Weibo, front and back? Hell no! Did these people even understand what privacy meant? Who was so bored they’d spread such baseless rumors?
Tan Xin Things aren’t like they were a few years ago. With your influence now, trending on Weibo is practically child’s play. Some petty people might even use this as an opportunity to kick you while you’re down.
Chunxiao That’s serious. I’ll assess the situation first. She rested her chin in her hand. This whole thing is slanderous. I need to see if someone’s stirring up trouble or if someone’s just being self-righteous. Rushing to comment would only make things worse. After typing these words, Shen Weixiao actually calmed down.
Tan Xin Waving her hand dismissively. You’re unbelievably composed! And here I was, worrying myself sick for you.
Shen Weixiao smiled faintly, amused by her best friend’s exasperation. She calmly reassured her, Alright, alright. When I get my paycheck, I’ll treat you to something delicious. By the way, is that wedding of yours actually… real… or…?
Tan Xin Of course it’s real! And the red envelopes are definitely real too…
Chunxiao Got it. My bestie’s getting married, so her best bro will definitely bring a generous gift! ¥`??¥
Tan Xin But what about this smear campaign? You’re really not going to defend yourself? What if they completely ruin your reputation and you’re forever tarnished?
Chunxiao Don’t worry about that. I’m not afraid.
Tan Xin Oh, right. I forgot you have your Lao Xue. Evil grin
Shen Weixiao’s teeth itched with annoyance at Tan Xin’s teasing. She quickly sent a head-smashing emoji before messaging Lao Xue Honey, did you hear we’re being slandered?
The other party didn’t reply quickly, so Tan Xin continued chatting with her best friend. Tan Xin sensed that Shen Weixiao wasn’t taking the matter seriously, sighing inwardly but also finding it understandable.
After all, Chunxiao had always been an optimistic and gentle girl.
However, things didn’t unfold as Shen Weixiao had anticipated. Years-old incidents resurfaced, and her original self-recommendation posts were bumped to the top, leaving her vulnerable to criticism and every sentence picked apart for flaws.
The comments below the article gradually shifted from simple inquiries to outright attacks on the work, insults against the author, and even questioning her moral values by projecting the negative characters from the story onto her.

The writing style is suspiciously similar to another work. Has the author been accused of plagiarism before?

A rustling sound came from outside the door. Shen Weixiao heard the crinkling of plastic bags and initially expected to see Shi Xuan’s face, but instead, Wang Qiao returned home.
Mu Xinran’s expression remained cold as Wang Qiao entered. She didn’t move as he came in, and Shen Weixiao instinctively glanced at her.
Weixiao, did you and Shi Xuan know each other before? Mu Xinran suddenly turned to Shen Weixiao, counting on her fingers.
Shen Weixiao paused their conversation and denied it, but she also began to wonder. Shi Xuan’s attitude toward her had indeed seemed unusually familiar from the start.
I’m suddenly a little envious of you two, Mu Xinran sighed, her words sounding as much to herself as to Shen Weixiao. Good friends are definitely more reliable than boyfriends.
Mu Xinran was at a loss for words. Um… I think… After a moment’s thought, she couldn’t come up with anything to say, so she picked up her phone and continued chatting.
Chunmian ScreenshotScreenshotLook at what they’re saying about me!
Tan Xin …Sounds like you don’t care at all.
Chunmian Well My Lao Xue is ignoring me.
Tan Xin So… you came to me to cheer yourself up? Seriously, who else would joke around at a time like this?
Chunmian ? Seriously though, do you think I’ve offended someone?
Tan Xin You’ve had a smooth career. Who could you possibly have offended? Cold expression
Shen Weixiao thought about it honestly. If she had to name someone she’d offended, it would only be that person from three years ago. She couldn’t recall any other author she’d had a falling out with.
Xinran, Wang Qiao suddenly emerged from his room, gave a friendly nod, and sat down on the other side of Mu Xinran. Feeling awkward, Shen Weixiao immediately stood up with a smile. Oh right, I almost forgot! The dishes in the kitchen still need washing.
Shi Xuan had gone out to buy sanitary pads, so Shen Weixiao had promised to handle all the kitchen chores. Perhaps feeling a bit down, she stared at her messy reflection in the glass, growing increasingly irritable.
In the end, optimism was just something she forced herself to maintain. After all, having been targeted by online trolls once before, she knew she had to keep her composure. Still, it was baffling—who could be so bored as to do this? w
Her phone, resting on the desk, vibrated, its blue notification light pulsing to alert her of a new message. But she was just too lazy to check it. Shen Weixiao sighed as she washed the dishes, her fingers feeling greasy. Too lazy to put on gloves, she dawdled for a while before finally emerging from the kitchen. By then, Mu Xinran and Wang Qiao had already retreated to their rooms.
The wall clock showed 723 PM. Shen Weixiao splashed water on her face in the bathroom, instantly feeling much more awake. Tomorrow was back to work.
She slumped unhappily at her desk. Her computer, recently upgraded to Windows 10, was running so sluggishly it was practically crippled but stubbornly persevering. It took a full minute for the interface to slowly load.
The notification bar on the right side displayed Your computer has outperformed 96% of computers nationwide.
Shen Weixiao habitually opened Word first, but since it was lagging, she turned around to grab a pillow from the bed and placed it on her chair. The webpage loaded faster, revealing a chaotic comments section. Many unmoderated comments had already been blocked.
Shen Weixiao always replied to all comments in one go, so as she scrolled through, she noticed a significant number of unregistered accounts posting.
Shi Xuan entered the room and saw Shen Weixiao hunched over her computer screen, comparing something intently. From a distance, she called out, What are you looking at? You seem completely absorbed.
As if suddenly remembering something, Shen Weixiao looked up at Shi Xuan. Sister Xuan, have you been on Green Station reading novels lately?
Shi Xuan replied decisively while putting down her things, No.
She was nearly driven mad by her current cases she had no time for novels. After a moment of silent complaint, she quickly realized, What’s wrong with Green Station? Is it acting up again?
Shen Weixiao forced a bitter smile. Not exactly. It’s just… I might be going crazy.
