My Roommate Is a Dirty Talker (GL) - Chapter 30

Wasn’t Blue-Eyed Rabbit you?

Um… Sister Xuan… are you saying your ID isn’t Blue-Eyed Rabbit? Shen Weixiao’s heart clenched, her mind racing. If it’s not, it’s not. Why do you care so much?

Pedestrians hurried down the street, the deep night pressing down, causing withered branches to tremble in the wind. Shen Weixiao straightened her posture, her gaze fixed intently on Shi Xuan’s face, as if trying to discern her emotions from her expression. But Shi Xuan replied coolly, I simply don’t like being compared to a rabbit.

Right, rabbits are so soft and cute. The goddess really isn’t like that.

But if the goddess actually had a rabbit tail, her walk would be the epitome of adorable contrast! Shen Weixiao’s face darkened with discontent, her eyes never leaving Shi Xuan. She imagined the goddess with a fluffy, short tail and long, pink rabbit ears, thinking, That would be unbelievably cute! If I could hold her when it’s cold, she’d be so warm, comfortable, and…

Back home, they each busied themselves with their own tasks, tacitly avoiding the earlier conversation. Shen Weixiao sat at her computer, discussing work matters with her editor online, while stealing glances at the goddess.

The goddess seemed equally engrossed, watching a video with rapt attention—it looked like a horror movie.

Horror movies, huh? Shen Weixiao rubbed the goosebumps on her arm and lightly ground her back teeth. Why are all the pretty girls into such gruesome stuff? She had always avoided horror films like the plague.

Editor Meimei So, Chunmian, let’s put this matter to rest. Once you’ve finished outlining your next story, send it to my email. I’ll review everything on Monday.

Chunmian Bujuexiao Got it, love you! muah

Editor Meimei Gossip Queen Meimei here—Chunxiao, what’s really going on between you and Lao Xue?

Chunmian Bujuexiao Holy crap! Even my dearest Sister Yu suspects me?!

Editor Meimei Well, these kinds of situations are quite taboo in the industry. Even if Lao Xue really has split personality disorder, using your alt account’s popularity to promote your work isn’t inherently wrong—it’s just normal marketing. But deceiving readers, concealing the truth, and orchestrating hype to create buzz are entirely different matters. Do you understand?

Chunmian Bujuexiao Sister Yu doesn’t believe me. I’m really not schizophrenic! Look, I’ve barely even posted on the forum, but so many people are scrutinizing my alt account and tone, trying to pick a fight. They’re the ones who are schizophrenic! Can’t you see the IDs in the backend? Why can’t you delete those posts and clear the comments? Sister Yu, please ask the moderators to protect me!

Editor Meimei We can’t arbitrarily delete comments from the backend unless they contain illegal content. Otherwise, what’s the point of the forum rules? If you can gather solid evidence, I believe this storm will quickly subside.

Chunmian Bujuexiao ……

Editor Meimei As for investigating the origins of this incident, mitigating its negative impact, and handling the aftermath, the website will not intervene. However, if you need to defend your rights, we will absolutely assist you.

Heartbroken and disillusioned, Shen Weixiao logged out of Penguin and resolved to trace the source of the trouble herself.

The incident had begun roughly three or four days earlier. A user named Cabbage Heartthrob had posted a series of video links to Lao Xue’s fan videos about Shen Weixiao’s works on a forum thread, including the author’s name and links to the original works. The second post featured a synopsis of the story and the first three thousand words of the free chapters. Initially, the discussion was normal, but under the OP’s deliberate manipulation, users shifted from praising the couple’s compatibility to speculating whether the author was self-inserting and suffering from schizophrenia, writing about a love affair with their own split personality. Then, someone dredged up the author’s dark history, completely ignoring the positive comments and counterarguments in the thread, and forcibly pinned the blame on her.

Shen Weixiao carefully examined the forum thread, confirming that everything Tantan had described was accurate.

Is someone deliberately trying to smear me? she muttered to herself, leaning back in her chair. This looks like a burner account—it’s only 0.1 years old. All its posts have been marked with asterisks, making them invisible to other users. Closing the homepage, a chill ran through her. She still couldn’t fathom the source of this malice.

What did you say? Shi Xuan’s voice boomed from above, startling Shen Weixiao.

Shi Xuan paused, a hint of coldness in her eyes. Am I really that scary? You jump every time I speak.

Um… I was just thinking about something, Shen Weixiao said, moving the mouse. Look, my friend says this person started the whole thing, but the account seems newly created.

Shi Xuan leaned closer to glance at the screen, her eyelid twitching. Are you sure this person was the one who started the trouble?

Shen Weixiao stared at the computer screen, her voice firm. Absolutely.

Do you know this person? Shen Weixiao suddenly turned, as if waking from a dream, and asked Shi Xuan for the first time with a questioning tone, Are they your friend?

Shi Xuan took a step back, her expression unreadable. She didn’t deny it.

It’s an old friend’s alternate account, but… she probably doesn’t remember me anymore.

Shen Weixiao had just thrown a bucket of melodramatic clichés onto herself when her mind suddenly conjured up a hundred thousand crimson waterfalls. Is she… your ex?

What kind of dog-bl00d fantasy is this? Shi Xuan rolled her eyes at Shen Weixiao a hundred times over, torn between laughing at her silliness and finding her endearing. She sighed and reached out to pat the little one’s head, but Shen Weixiao ducked away. Sister Xuan, I always feel like you’re hiding so many secrets from me.

Did we really just meet by chance?

Shen Weixiao’s sudden burst of intelligence flustered Shi Xuan. Her lips twitched awkwardly as she lowered her hand. We’ll have plenty of time to talk about the past later. Right now, the most important thing is to deal with these ridiculous rumors first, okay?

The goddess is asking for my opinion! Shen Weixiao’s heart fluttered with excitement, but her lips pouted stubbornly. Then tell me how you know this person first.

She was a good friend of mine, Shi Xuan replied, her voice cutting off abruptly, with no intention of elaborating further.
