Chapter 438 178: Stabbed in the Back by a Roommate, Secretary Xia's New Task_3
"Who are you? And how do you know about that?"
The handsome boy, seeing that Bai Weixi had finally spoken to him, visibly relaxed. A corner of his mouth curved upward, and his eyes held a secretly smug smile. "Weixi, that scumbag Li Yuan is not worthy of you at all. He just had a stroke of dumb luck, that's all."
Bai Weixi's brow furrowed. She stared coldly at the boy before her and enunciated each word, "Who exactly are you? Also, don't call me Weixi. We're not close."
The handsome boy was rebuffed but didn't seem to mind. He casually tossed his head, struck a pose he clearly thought was cool, and replied with a smile, "Who I am isn't important. Just consider me a concerned stranger, someone with a sense of justice who can't stand Li Yuan's actions and wants to give you a friendly warning."
Bai Weixi asked with a frown, "Why should I believe you?"
"Heh, Weixi, believe it or not. But I guarantee every word I've said is true. Li Yuan is only with you to get revenge. He's just going to dump you later..."
After giving the boy a long look, Bai Weixi replied faintly, "I see," then turned and walked away.
The handsome boy was stunned by her placid reaction. This isn't right at all. He quickly caught up, blocking her path and repeating himself, "Weixi, did you hear me clearly? I said Li Yuan is with you just to get revenge! He'll dump you soon. He doesn't like you at all!"
Bai Weixi stared coldly at the boy, her frown deepening. "Please call me Bai Weixi. Also, I already told you I know."
The handsome boy stared at her, refusing to give up. "Fine, Bai Weixi. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder. A scumbag like Li Yuan isn't worth it. I know him better than you do."
Hearing this, Bai Weixi suddenly laughed, a cold look in her eyes. "You know him better than I do? Then what is your relationship with him?"
The handsome boy's heart skipped a beat, but he feigned nonchalance. "Our relationship doesn't matter. What's important is whether you believe me. Anyway, I've warned you. Believe it or not."
With that, the handsome boy turned and swaggered away, a smirk already forming on his lips. There's no way she'll stay with Li Yuan after hearing this. Li Yuan, oh, Li Yuan, why do you get to steal all the glory? Every girl I like ends up becoming your girlfriend...
Seeing him leave without pressing further, Bai Weixi stood frozen in place. Memories of her time with Li Yuan, from the very beginning, flooded her mind, and a wave of complex emotions washed over her.
Tears welled in her eyes as she murmured sadly to herself, "Li Yuan, do you really still love me?
"Are you really only with me for revenge? To cast me aside after you get everything you want?
"No, no... I don't believe it. Just yesterday, you said I was your first love, that you would never leave me."
Brother, I'm so, so scared right now. I'm terrified that what he said is true... terrified that you'll abandon me...
Bai Weixi stood frozen, tears streaming down her face as she talked to herself, until a familiar voice reached her ears.
"Weixi, where did you run off to? We turned around and you were gone!" Wang Lisha and Deng Meiqi rushed to her side, panting.
When Wang Lisha saw Bai Weixi crying her eyes out, a surge of anger flared up. "Weixi, why are you crying again?" she roared. "Did Li Yuan say something horrible to you? That damn scumbag, why does he make you cry every day?"
"Weixi, don't keep everything bottled up inside," Deng Meiqi added, her heart aching as she pulled Bai Weixi into a hug. "Tell us what's wrong. We can help you think it through."
Bai Weixi stopped crying and looked at her two roommates, forcing a smile. "Shasha, Meiqi, I'm fine. Let's go back."
Seeing Bai Weixi putting on a brave face, Wang Lisha and Deng Meiqi exchanged a look and could only nod in agreement.
"Okay... Hey, Weixi, I heard the cafeteria has a new special today. Let's go try it," Wang Lisha suggested.
Bai Weixi shook her head slightly. "Shasha, I'm not hungry. I'm a little tired... I think I'll head back to the dorm to get some sleep."
"Oh... okay then." Wang Lisha could tell something was wrong with Bai Weixi's mood and felt a pang of regret. I shouldn't have pushed her to go to Li Yuan's classroom for that 'showdown' today. My good intentions completely backfired!
「Meanwhile...」
Li Yuan drove his sports car, taking Xia Zhijin straight to the company.
In the meeting room, Lin Yuwei opened a PowerPoint presentation and began earnestly reporting on the initial beta test results for the Zhihu website from the previous day.
"Director Li, based on feedback from the 100 testers across 10 universities, general satisfaction with the website's layout and features is high. The reviews have been positive.
"The features we introduced, such as the 'Confession Wall,' 'Mushy Topics,' 'Pedestrian Street,' and 'Sports Section,' were particularly novel and well-received. The 'Title System' especially has earned widespread praise.
"However, they also reported several issues and areas for improvement. I have compiled and summarized their feedback as follows:
"First, the website's UI needs to be optimized. It's not distinct or eye-catching enough.
"Second, the sports sections, such as basketball and soccer, lack sufficient content and data to back them up.
"Third, the 'Pedestrian Street' section is missing news coverage on current events, entertainment gossip, and trending topics."
