My Roommate Is a Dirty Talker (GL) - Chapter 55

The Second Dimension Reader Group was truly a haven for all things lewd, a testament to Shi Xuan’s influence.

Shen Weixiao clicked her tongue in surprise, yet she couldn’t deny the genuine warmth and camaraderie within the group. Not only were the rules meticulously crafted, but the atmosphere was remarkably positive. In a group of a hundred members, the active participation rate hovered around sixty to seventy percent—an impressive figure.

From the reader onboarding process to member titles and even the announcements, every detail was meticulously organized. While the Chunshu members reveled in their antics, Shen Weixiao scrolled through the group announcements, discovering that Shi Xuan initiated a weekly discussion topic every Friday. These ranged from literary exchanges and riddles to debates on classic literature, with rewards for correct answers. The weekly results and reward distribution were also publicly posted.

Initially, Shen Weixiao had been reluctant to create a group. She had witnessed the ugliest aspects of human nature in her friends’ groups, leaving her with lingering unease. Yet this carefully nurtured community warmed even the most hardened corners of her heart.

Who would have thought Shi Xuan would manage the group so well? Though she wasn’t the Group Owner, every announcement and rule was posted by her. Shen Weixiao couldn’t help but imagine hearing Shi Xuan’s focused typing, each furrowed brow and upturned corner of her lips flashing vividly before her eyes.

My older sister must have put so much effort into this, she thought.

Tears welled up as Shen Weixiao opened Shi Xuan’s private message window. She pouted sweetly, half-teasing, half-complaining, What’s the deal with this group? I saw it was created in late February, before the New Year. Were you already in it back then? And you never told me? Hmph.

How could I tell you about something like this? The cunning older sister pursed her lips and closed the bedroom door.

It had been a chance encounter. Shi Xuan had been browsing the comments under Shen Weixiao’s stories when she noticed Blue-Eyed Rabbit’s spam-like posts. Intrigued by the rabbit’s distinctive name, she clicked to read them and discovered a lively group of readers chatting beneath the comments. While scrolling through the thread, she stumbled upon Blue-Eyed Rabbit’s proposal to create a group for Chunmian Bujuede. The idea caught on immediately, and the group’s ID was posted within a few replies. Likely fearing censorship by Green Station, the rabbit cleverly used homophones for the numbers.

Shi Xuan was currently grappling with Shen Weixiao’s situation, realizing that relying solely on the author community’s help would only provide a temporary fix. After some consideration, she boldly joined the Great Author Chunmian is a Bottom group. When she first joined, there were only seven or eight members. Naturally, she hadn’t anticipated that Shen Weixiao would have such a devoted following.

Shi Xuan worried that this approach might not have much impact. With Shen Weixiao’s nearly ten thousand readers, it would be impossible to effectively reach them through this channel. After further thought, she unilaterally logged into Shen Weixiao’s account and added the group’s number to the bottom of the latest chapter’s draft, clearly labeling it as a reader-created and maintained group. She still had Shen Weixiao’s account password from when she had once forgotten to submit a ranking application while she was out and had asked Shi Xuan to handle it. As a result, Shen Weixiao, being rather lazy, had simply asked Shi Xuan to submit them for her from then on. Eventually, Shi Xuan had even developed the habit herself, but that’s a story for another time.

At the time, Shi Xuan thought, That idiot only uses the mobile app to write anyway. She never rereads chapters after posting them. Besides, her manuscript is already finished, and she’s completely absorbed in her next project. She’ll never notice. And even if she does, what’s the worst that could happen?

Shi Xuan planned her strategy with great enthusiasm, and as expected, many loyal fans immediately joined the group when the new chapter was released. Within a week, the group reached its capacity, forcing them to upgrade to a premium membership to slowly recruit more members.

Since Shi Xuan had joined the group early and actively participated for several days, the Group Owner, Blue-Eyed Rabbit, sensed her expertise and generously granted her Administrator privileges. Newly appointed, Shi Xuan wasted no time in implementing three major initiatives

1. 1. 1. 1. Establishing group rules 2. Standardizing daily operations 3. Indirectly managing Shen Weixiao’s fan club.

Although Blue-Eyed Rabbit had initiated the group, she couldn’t help but admire Shi Xuan’s innate leadership aura—objective, insightful, and never arrogant or off-putting. As Blue-Eyed Rabbit was still a student, she often delegated group management tasks to Shi Xuan and the other two Administrators when she was busy.

The incident traces back to February 21, 2016, when Shi Xuan and the Group Owner had the following conversation

Blue-Eyed Rabbit Xuanxuan.

Wu Bushengxuan Hmm?

Blue-Eyed Rabbit Are you like, a super die-hard fan of Big Sis? You’re so dedicated to her! I saw the draft of the group rules you sent me—they’re amazing! You covered so many details I never even considered.

Wu Bushengxuan Smirking I’m Big Sis’s fan, of course I’ll do my best to protect her.

Blue-Eyed Rabbit Wow, Xuanxuan, you’re amazing! I’m such a devoted fan!

Wu Bushengxuan Everyone’s been fantastic! Ain is the screenwriter, the disciple is the Great Art Director, and you’re amazing too, Rabbit, with your beautiful calligraphy and being a graduate student. I think Big Sis will feel much more at ease knowing we’re all here to support her.

Blue-Eyed Rabbit Mmm… But why hasn’t Big Sis joined the group yet? Does she think we’re a bother? sniffle I’m so disappointed.

Wu Bushengxuan I think Big Sis put the group link at the bottom of her work because she approves of it. She’s probably just been busy lately and feeling stressed. Maybe she wants to wait until things settle down so she can join us happily?

Blue-Eyed Rabbit Oh, you’re right! We should be her strongest support and contribute our strength. But I tried to help Big Sis by clarifying things with some friends, and it turned into a mess! Some people even accused us of being her haters! I’m too scared to speak up now… I feel like I’ve tarnished Big Sis’s reputation. sob

Wu Bushengxuan comforting pat Rabbit, do you believe in Big Sis?

Blue-Eyed Rabbit Mmm, I do.

After a long pause, Blue-Eyed Rabbit suddenly sent a long string of ellipses, followed by But I feel like with hundreds of people in the group now, morale is starting to waver. A few days ago, someone shared screenshots of Big Sis being attacked on the forum, and everyone unintentionally joined in the criticism. Later, she and a few others left the group.

Wu Bushengxuan I saw that. I think everyone wants to believe in Big Sis. But aside from that one clarification post, she hasn’t said anything else. Many are saying it’s a classic case of protesting too much, even though the evidence is solid. The trolls are just blindly attacking without even reading it, and I suspect some are deliberately manipulating public opinion. This has caused many who didn’t read carefully to turn against her.

Blue-Eyed Rabbit truly felt like she had met Shi Xuan too late Xuanxuan, you’re saying exactly what I’m thinking! Right now, stabilizing morale and uniting everyone is crucial. Author-sama must be swamped with work—we need to help him shoulder his burdens!

Wu Bushengxuan Exactly. First, we stabilize our internal ranks, then we unite against external threats.

Suddenly emboldened, Blue-Eyed Rabbit spent a whole day pondering before deciding to send another friend request to Author-sama, whom she had long admired. At this point, she felt particularly inspired. Perhaps Author-sama received too many requests, because despite her previous attempts to find his Penguin ID and send multiple requests, she had never received a response—not even a rejection.

Undeterred, Blue-Eyed Rabbit persisted, clinging to a sliver of hope. She was determined to personally ask Author-sama about the truth behind the matter and reassure the Chunshu in the group.

The above conversation was the story Shen Weixiao had been most eager to hear, recounted from the night before Shi Xuan returned home.

Shen Weixiao listened, dumbfounded. Fortunately, Shi Xuan had called otherwise, such a complex story would have been impossible to explain in a few words.

So, Older Sister, you’ve been lurking in the shadows all this time? Shen Weixiao asked, her face beaming with happiness, though her tone remained playfully haughty. How dare you take such a crucial matter into your own hands! I knew something was up—why else would my readers have been acting like puppets lately, all moving and speaking in perfect unison? No one could even start a fight! She paused, barely suppressing a laugh. So it was your doing again. You always act on my behalf without asking! Didn’t you say you wanted me to grow up on my own?

Shi Xuan chuckled. Let you grow up, let you grow up! Oh? Someone’s finally admitting they’re still a child.

Schemes, schemes everywhere.

Shen Weixiao stubbornly raised her phone, but she couldn’t bring herself to hang up on Shi Xuan. Her voice softened by half as she mumbled, sounding particularly wronged, I know you’re doing this because you care about me, but… next time you do so much for me, could you at least let me know beforehand? I hate feeling like you’re sacrificing so much for me while I’m completely clueless. I’m afraid that one day I’ll misunderstand you and hurt you. Like… like that time you stayed up all night helping me with the video…

Shen Weixiao trailed off, her eyes growing slightly moist and her voice softening further. I’m afraid of losing you.

Shi Xuan sensed the subtle shift in Shen Weixiao’s emotions. How could she not understand what Shen Weixiao was thinking? But having grown accustomed to a life of doing more than talking, she had naturally come to believe that it didn’t matter whether her actions were known or successful. What mattered was that she acted, and that she acted.

In the end, the outcome had little to do with her.

Yet Shen Weixiao’s current state inexplicably tugged at her heartstrings. She was just an ordinary, sensitive child, yet she repeatedly pushed Shi Xuan to cross her own boundaries, compromising again and again. Shi Xuan couldn’t help but sigh, wondering if this was fate—the kind of person who appears in everyone’s life, regardless of faith, experience, status, or gender.

Isn’t this something a kiss could fix? Shi Xuan asked with a strained smile, even Shen Weixiao could tell she was trying to make her laugh. No matter what happens, you’ll never lose me. I’ll always hold onto you. You can push me away, scold me, hate me—I won’t let go of your hand easily. Even if you don’t want me anymore, I’ll still watch over you, protect you, and never let you slip away from me.

Shen Weixiao’s melancholy mood quickly dissipated under Shi Xuan’s teasing. She remembered their first ambiguous moment together—back then, Shi Xuan hadn’t yet unlocked her flirting skill, but her eyes were brimming with drama, so intense that Shen Weixiao nearly forgot her limbs could move, her face flushing crimson.

After they got together, she seemed like a completely different person. Besides her Second Dimension obsessions, she started showering him with romantic declarations at every opportunity. And he absolutely loved it. Thinking about this, Shen Weixiao’s ears flushed uncontrollably again. He nodded, his eyes and expression brimming with contentment. Then you must promise never to give up on me, even if I hit you, scold you, or try to abandon you…

Ahem, if you were to hit or scold me, Shi Xuan considered with mock seriousness, I think it would be necessary to involve the police. According to Article 43 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law of the People’s Republic of China, ‘Anyone who assaults another person or intentionally inflicts bodily harm shall be detained for no less than five days and no more than ten days, and fined between 200 and 500 yuan. For minor offenses, detention shall be no more than five days, or a fine of no more than 500 yuan may be imposed.’

Shen Weixiao stared in disbelief, his earlier melancholy completely vanished. I… Older Sister, aren’t you studying directing and screenwriting?

Shi Xuan had earned a double degree in college, majoring in directing and minoring in law. Although she hadn’t used her legal knowledge much since graduating, she had coincidentally flipped through a law book while organizing her books a few days earlier, refreshing her memory just in time for it to come in handy.

A goddess must maintain her aloof and mysterious aura, so Shi Xuan would never reveal to Shen Weixiao that she had merely stumbled upon the right answer by sheer luck. Ahem.

To properly restrain your behavior and mold you into a model socialist youth, I’ve been studying the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China these past few days, Shi Xuan said with utmost seriousness, holding up a thick volume of legal statutes. Want to take a look?

Maintaining her earnest demeanor, Shi Xuan continued, I think your personality still lacks maturity. While I don’t mind your occasional clumsiness or cuteness, reading these serious books would do you a lot of good.

Suddenly, Shen Weixiao felt a dark cloud descend upon her. She imagined herself trapped beneath Shi Xuan’s Five Finger Mountain, facing her righteous and stern expression. A cold wind swept through Shi Xuan’s hair, startling a flock of crows into flight.

Why don’t you just call me stupid and be done with it? Shen Weixiao awkwardly sat up in bed, touching her flushed cheeks, feeling a bit embarrassed. What was that saying online again? People who think they’re cute are actually really dumb?

Tearful emoji!

Shi Xuan belatedly remarked, Hmm, this argument… I might actually agree. What have you been eating lately? You’ve suddenly gotten so smart!

Completely defenseless, Shen Weixiao buried her face in her pillow, looking miserable. Facing a CP like this, I’ll never have a chance to turn the tables in this lifetime, will I? No, no, no! I must maintain my ambition to be the dominant one, to experience the thrill of conquest at least once. I’ll keep fighting for it, striving until the day I die!

Straightening up, she tilted her chin slightly and smiled confidently. Even if I’m cute and a bit dumb, you still love me, right? Oh, so you really like dumb girls, Older Sister? Guess I’ll have to stay cute for you forever.

Shi Xuan replied over the phone, Sorry, I’m not taking the blame for this one.
