As she spoke, Zhang Mengmeng buried her face in her hands and cried, “But I never expected that even after knowing all this, he would still choose to find you, still choose to help you. If only you would disappear, then he could see me...”
“You shouldn’t be like this!”
Hearing that voice, Zhang Mengmeng turned around to find Huang Fei standing behind her, having appeared out of nowhere.
Huang Fei looked at Zhang Mengmeng and said, “It’s me who likes Shen Mengjie; it has nothing to do with her.”
“I just wanted to tell you that Shen Mengjie isn’t a good person.”
“What she did was indeed unfair, but how is what you’re doing any different from her?”
“You had countless ways to tell me, yet you chose the most extreme method.”
“She considered you a friend, but you’ve nailed her to the pillar of shame. You just want to ruin her...”
At that moment, Huang Fei finally understood why Lao Ao insisted on telling Shen Mengjie himself.
He should have guessed everything long ago, that this was all somehow related to him...
Shen Mengjie looked at Zhang Mengmeng with a complex expression.
She never imagined that the person she wanted to care for a little more each day, the one she laughed and joked with in the dorm, would see her as nothing more than a promiscuous woman.
If she didn’t like her, she could have just said so; she wasn’t the kind of person who would humiliate herself to get close.
If she liked Huang Fei, she should just pursue him...
She didn’t want to stay there any longer. Taking out her phone, she looked at Zhang Mengmeng and said, “I’ve recorded our conversation. You’d better think carefully about what you do next.”
With that, she walked past Zhang Mengmeng without looking back.
After Shen Mengjie left, Zhang Mengmeng sank to the ground, burying her head in her chest.
Huang Fei was about to chase after her when he heard Zhang Mengmeng’s voice: “Did I really do something wrong?”
He stopped, looking at Zhang Mengmeng, who was crying on the ground, and then gazed up at the sky. “Honestly, if you set everything aside, you didn’t do anything wrong. You made thirty-seven people, including me, realize that we are just fish in Shen Mengjie’s pond.”
“But after spending so much time together, you should have sensed whether Shen Mengjie truly considered you a friend...”

**Chapter 267: The One Who Starts and Abandons**
In the boys' dormitory 147.
Suddenly, a notification sound from Huang Fei’s QQ video call rang out.
He glanced at it and immediately hung up.
But soon, a second video call came in.
He hung up again.
Ding ding~
A message popped up: “If you don’t come down, I won’t leave.”
“If anyone asks, I’ll just say I’m here to find the one who starts and abandons.”
Seeing these two messages, Huang Fei got up and went to the balcony, spotting Shen Mengjie standing downstairs.
She was too conspicuous, the only one wearing a hoodie...
It seemed she sensed something.
Shen Mengjie suddenly looked up, locking eyes with Huang Fei on the balcony.
Her stubborn expression conveyed a clear message: if you don’t come down, I’ll stand here until I drop.
Watching Huang Fei retreat, Shen Mengjie, who had just been defiant, suddenly broke into a smile. “Being kind is your biggest weakness!”
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Huang Fei appeared at the entrance of the dormitory.
Shen Mengjie stepped forward. “Come with me.”
“Don’t pull me around.”
Shen Mengjie let go and looked seriously at Huang Fei. “What do you think I should do?”
“What do you mean, ‘what to do’?”
Without answering, Shen Mengjie continued to pull Huang Fei to a quieter corner, then took out her phone and played the recording.
After Huang Fei listened to the recording, he sighed. “So what?”
“Do you think I should expose this recording?”
“That’s your choice.”
“But... I don’t know...” Shen Mengjie felt conflicted, instinctively seeking Huang Fei, convinced he could give her the right answer.
Seeing her troubled expression, Huang Fei chuckled. “If you expose your secret, you should be pretty angry at Zhang Mengmeng, right? So what’s the dilemma?”
Shen Mengjie turned her head, sensing a hint of mockery in Huang Fei’s tone, but she had no proof.
“To be honest, when I first found out it was Zhang Mengmeng, I wanted to tear her face apart. But strangely, I didn’t do that. Even now, I can’t bring myself to hate her; I just feel sorry for her.”
At this point, Shen Mengjie suddenly shook her head. “I feel like I’m going crazy.”
“Hate comes from caring; not hating means you don’t care anymore,” Huang Fei said slowly, recognizing Shen Mengjie’s inner strength.
Perhaps, just as Shen Mengjie had said that night, she never really cared from the start...
Or maybe if it had been someone else today, that recording would already be on the campus forum.
If you call her kind, she can effortlessly reel in thirty-eight boys at once.
If you say she’s not kind, she hesitates in this situation.
Shen Mengjie was like a walking contradiction...
Looking at her phone, she murmured, “If I expose it, it would definitely prove my innocence...”
“That’s something you need to think about. But I want to remind you of one thing: you’re not innocent; all the revelations are true...”
“I know, I know. You don’t have to keep reminding me that I’m not a good person...”
“That’s what you said; I never said that.”
Shen Mengjie shot Huang Fei a glare. “Come on, don’t think I don’t know what you really think of me.”
She gave a self-deprecating smile, realizing what kind of person she was...
“But... thank you anyway.”
At first, Shen Mengjie didn’t care too much because she felt she was that kind of person.
But Huang Fei made her realize that even if she wasn’t honorable, if someone with a girlfriend still pursued her, then that person deserved the same punishment.
Although the outcome wasn’t what she initially imagined, at least Shen Mengjie learned that while others might look down on her, she couldn’t truly look down on herself...
“Okay, finally getting to the point, you really should thank me,” Huang Fei said, feeling he definitely deserved a thank you.
After all, if he hadn’t been able to drink, he would have worried that Shen Mengjie, this little lightweight, might stumble into the artificial lake after getting drunk.
A thank you was absolutely well-deserved.
“Has anyone ever told you that you’re really full of yourself?” Shen Mengjie really wanted to punch Huang Fei!
When he was serious, he could down a can of beer without batting an eye, which was quite reassuring.
But when he was joking, he acted like a child, arguing and bantering, just so full of himself!
“Um... um, Huang Fei... I...”
“Just say it. I can’t stand it when people hesitate.”
Hearing this, Shen Mengjie bit her lip and looked up at Huang Fei. “Huang Fei, I want to know how you see me.”
“How do I see you?”
“Yeah.”
“With my eyes, how else could I see you?”
“You... you’re crazy!” After saying that, Shen Mengjie left, and as she turned, she pulled off her hood.
Her long, smooth hair cascaded over her shoulders with her movement.
Her beautiful, alluring face tilted slightly as she took a deep breath of air.
Turning her head slightly, her profile in the sunlight was striking: “I don’t care what others think.”
Little master, there’s more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading; it gets even more exciting!
Whether that statement was a response to Huang Fei or a reflection of her current attitude was unclear.
Watching Shen Mengjie’s retreating figure, Huang Fei stretched lazily. “Ah, what a mess. Shen Mengjie loves to play, and Zhang Mengmeng doesn’t speak up. If they had just talked it out earlier, there wouldn’t be so many issues.”
“If I were to start a counseling class, the first person I’d invite would be Zhang Mengmeng. I wonder how much I should charge for that...”
“Tsk~ I shouldn’t think about it; the more I do, the more I feel like a life coach...”
Back in the dormitory.
Just as he lay down on his bed, the dorm door swung open.
It was Huang Fei returning.
“How did it go?”
Unaware of the situation, Xu Shuai and Li Longlong hurriedly asked.
Huang Fei let out a slow breath. “It’s Zhang Mengmeng.”
