My Roommate Is a Dirty Talker (GL) - Chapter 24

Shen Weixiao innocently gestured toward the computer with her lips, slumping dejectedly on the edge of the bed.

Quite the commotion, Shi Xuan remarked, glancing indifferently at the screen. She nodded at Shen Weixiao with a faint, ambiguous smile before turning to head to the bathroom. When she returned to find Shen Weixiao still sprawled on the bed like a beached fish, she couldn’t resist sitting down at the computer again and browsing the news herself. It seems even worse than a few days ago.

Shi Xuan had a daily habit of browsing Green Station, but she’d been too busy with work lately to keep up. Still, with her years of detached observation, she had sensed this inexplicable storm of controversy brewing days ago. Yet she had no intention of intervening on Shen Weixiao’s behalf this time.

Faced with Shi Xuan’s calm demeanor, Shen Weixiao looked slightly surprised. You saw these messages days ago?

Shi Xuan didn’t reply, instead searching for a few more keywords before pausing to take a breath. Your comments section is a complete war zone. Aren’t you worried?

Shi Xuan approached Shen Weixiao, her slightly pale lips moving without betraying any emotion.

Shen Weixiao shook her head. I want to resolve it too, but Lao Xue hasn’t replied yet. She turned sideways, idly playing with the small tassel at the edge of her pillow, her eyes lazy and unable to conceal her fatigue.

Lao Xue? Shi Xuan repeated, as if suddenly remembering something.

As if recalling something novel, Shen Weixiao immediately sat up from her pillow. Oh right, Sister Xuan, have I told you about Lao Xue before? She’s my CP, we’ve known each other for three years. She’s incredibly capable—she’s practically omnipotent both inside and outside the industry! Shen Weixiao’s eyes sparkled as she spoke of Lao Xue, a smile unconsciously tugging at the corners of her lips.

Shi Xuan hummed in acknowledgment but asked, So you’re waiting for her to help you?

Mhm, yeah! Shen Weixiao nodded firmly. She’s the person I trust most. I’m sure she’ll have a way to help me.

The expression on Shi Xuan’s face suddenly stiffened, her eyelashes trembling slightly. She forced a faint smile. Shouldn’t you be the one figuring out how to resolve this? Rather than waiting for someone else, you should trust yourself.

Me? Shen Weixiao lowered her head thoughtfully. But I don’t know anything about anything except writing. After a moment, she added with concern, If things are this bad here, it’s probably a disaster at Lao Xue’s place too. I wonder if she’s back from her business trip. It would be better to discuss this together.

Shi Xuan lowered her gaze, hesitated for a moment, and then said, If I were you, I would only trust myself.

Shen Weixiao froze, then looked up to see Shi Xuan changing clothes. A strange sense of disappointment washed over her. Does the goddess think I’m useless for always relying on others? Is she disappointed in me?

As she pondered this, Shen Weixiao realized Lao Xue still hadn’t replied to her messages. It was likely she was still busy traveling and hadn’t had time to check her phone.

The incident had been going on for so long that outsiders might easily assume she had tacitly approved of it.

But if I issue a statement now, won’t that look like I’m trying too hard to cover something up? Shen Weixiao shifted her position and continued to think. And releasing someone’s personal information without Lao Xue’s consent would be wrong. After much deliberation, she decided to go online and gauge the public sentiment first.

Chunmian Bujuexiao, she loves to perform.

Behind the scenes, it’s Lao Xue. How much do readers truly know?

Everyone, stop leaving reviews for her! If you must, give her 0 stars or even -2! We can’t let this fraud profit, right?!

Shen Weixiao couldn’t help but chuckle as she read this barely-even-a-poem post on the forum. Scrolling further, she found Double Eyelids gleefully crafting jokes, initially poking fun at themselves. But when she reached the final line, her expression turned cold. Even Shi Xuan, who had just changed clothes, sensed the shift in mood and followed Shen Weixiao’s gaze to a trending forum thread

Thread Title Self-Love Bliss Lao Xue’s Spring Slumber Hahaha!

Chunmian Bujuexiao sheds layers of white robes, her lotus-like face radiating a moonlit, ethereal glow. In the mirror, her black-clad reflection reveals features as sharp and resolute as mountain peaks. Lao Xue, who do you think is the most beautiful woman in the world? Her pointed chin lifts slightly, like a joyful little princess awaiting her daily coronation speech from her mirrored alter ego.

Lao Xue wickedly extended her slender fingers, their black-painted nails glinting, and hooked Chunmian Bujuexiao’s chin, her smile sinister and contemptuous. Little b1tch, is there anyone in this world more beautiful than me?

You’re lying! You’re talking nonsense! Chunmian’s eyes welled with tears, revealing her dimples as her signature coquettish voice suddenly rang out, as if the entire world should adore, protect, believe in, and wait for her. Sister Xue, she whined, her voice dripping with saccharine sweetness, you must say Chunmian is the most beautiful, kindest, and most innocent princess in the world. Her smile was so cloying it made one’s teeth ache, and a speck of dust clung to the white hem of her dress.

Lao Xue narrowed her eyes, her purplish-black lips seeming smeared with poison, each word she spoke making Chunmian feel utterly addicted. My little white lotus, my precious darling, my sweet little treasure, who could disagree? I’ll spread word of your virtues to the neighbors and everyone in town. The whole world will know how wonderful my little one is.

Sunlight streamed through the window, shattering the mirror.

Chunmian still draped her mother’s black lace nightgown over her arm, her clumsy acting making the housekeeper who entered to clean the warehouse unbearably awkward.

Chunmian draped her mother’s black lace dress over her arm, her face a mixture of panic and utter embarrassment as she watched the housekeeper enter to clean the storage room.

Hahaha, OP’s imagination is wild! Too bad the CM and Weibo accounts haven’t said a word yet. Probably trying to figure out how to clear their name? I heard this author used to write romance novels, but somehow switched to writing pure love stories. Every story they write becomes a hit—tsk tsk, it’s like whatever they write, countless other authors rush to copy it! 23333333333333

Shi Xuan noticed Shen Weixiao’s strange expression and glanced at the dense text on the computer screen. She tentatively shook Shen Weixiao. Are you okay? They’re just making up stories for fun. Don’t take it too seriously.

Shen Weixiao looked up at Shi Xuan, and suddenly something welled up in her mind. Her nose stung, and she buried her face in Shi Xuan’s shoulder, bursting into tears. Shi Xuan froze, completely flustered, wanting to comfort her but unsure what to say. After a long moment, she heard Shen Weixiao sob, They can say whatever they want about me, but why drag my family into it?! Why… why… She buried her face again and wept.
