“Still, of all the people in this apartnt, the most beautiful I've seen so far is still that girl from Room 303, the one I t once. Too bad she's so cold and aloof.”
Zhang Yao's mind wandered into wild fantasies.
He swore that one day, he would have her.
Then, he looked at the suitcase containing the corpse and thought, hmm...
Disposing of the body was too simple—just toss the whole suitcase into the big trash bin downstairs.
“But seriously, you're such a waste! You couldn't even kill a single woman!”
Zhang Yao took the elevator all the way down to the first floor.
He bumped into soone head-on.
Zhang Yao recognized Lei Xiaoman as a lab rat—she must have been at the welco party last night.
And the person he bumped into was also one of the newcors from last night, sa as Lei Xiaoman.
If he rembered correctly, this guy's na was Zeng Yan.
...
Zeng Yan was also assigned to live in Building No. 2.
At this mont, his face—which looked extrely honest and simple at first glance—was marked with a faint trace of lancholy.
Zeng Yan and Lei Xiaoman were similar in their current behavior patterns, aside from their gender difference.
Both worked away from ho, supporting their boyfriends or girlfriends while those partners attended university.
The only difference was that Lei Xiaoman was from another province, and her boyfriend was at a university in that other province as well.
But Zeng Yan was a local of Nancheng City.
His girlfriend was also in Nancheng—at Nancheng University.
And there was another big difference from Lei Xiaoman.
Lei Xiaoman still hadn't discovered that her boyfriend was cheating on her, using her money to support another woman.
But Zeng Yan had already found out that his girlfriend was cheating on him...
It happened a few days before the young man in the black trench coat approached him.
That day, he was supposed to be working at the garnt factory.
But it was the anniversary of his relationship with his girlfriend.
So he took the day off and secretly ran to the entrance of his girlfriend's school early in the morning.
It happened to be a Saturday too.
He had already planned out everything for that day—where to go, what to eat, what to buy.
But then, just as he was about to ssage his girlfriend to co out, she erged from the school ahead of schedule.
Not only did she co out early, but she also ca out holding hands with a fashionably dressed guy.
He stood frozen on the spot at that mont.
Afterward, he was so shocked that he hid himself.
Once hidden, he stared very carefully at his girlfriend.
He hoped that the girl just really looked like his girlfriend.
But no matter how he looked, she was exactly like her.
So he sent her a ssage to see how she would react.
The ssage was sent, and his girlfriend quickly pulled out her phone from her pocket—but she only glanced at it and didn't even reply.
Zeng Yan rembered that day very clearly.
He followed his girlfriend and that guy.
He followed them for an entire day.
Finally, around seven in the evening, he witnessed with his own eyes the two of them walking into a hotel together, arm in arm.
He wanted to wait for his girlfriend to co out.
That wait lasted all night—he sat in the freezing wind the whole night.
That night, he didn't even know what he was thinking.
Finally, he waited until around nine in the morning.
His girlfriend and that guy ca out.
After coming out, the two were laughing and chatting, full of energy.
In contrast, Zeng Yan's face looked terrible because he had been blown by the cold wind all night.
Then, Zeng Yan continued following them. After leaving the hotel, they didn't go anywhere else but returned to school.
After returning to school, his girlfriend finally replied to the ssage he had sent yesterday.
She even made up a careful excuse: her phone had broken yesterday, so she took it for repairs, and it had just been fixed today.
Zeng Yan didn't call her out on it. Even up to today, he still hadn't called her out on it.
Zeng Yan took the elevator all the way to the rooftop of Building No. 2.
He walked to the edge of the rooftop.
He leaned there, standing high above, looking at the surrounding scenery.
Despite the bone-chilling wind, he didn't move a step to take shelter.
Even though his grades weren't great in school,
He really liked reading books.
Whether traditional literature or web novels—
He read them all.
After realizing that his girlfriend had cheated on him,
He often comforted himself with examples he'd read in books.
Things like, "Throughout history, under heaven, I'm not the only one who's been cheated on—it's nothing. There are plenty of people I don't know who are just as unlucky as ."
Or, "Won are just won—the more you care, the more you get hurt. Don't take it seriously."
He even motivated himself by thinking of many famous historical figures.
For example, Lu Xiangsheng from the late Ming Dynasty—at 22, he had already passed the imperial examinations and entered governnt service.
You're 22—well, still two years away, but already 20—and you're still working in a garnt factory with no future in sight.
He was a civil official, but later led troops into battle.
And finally died a martyr's death at just 39.
So instead of focusing on improving yourself, you're wasting ti on romantic entanglents, wallowing in sorrow?
As a man, don't you think you're ridiculous?
You should put all your limited energy into yourself! Not into won!
That's what he thought, and that's how he motivated himself.
As the saying goes, take a step back, and the sky is vast.
But every ti he took a step back, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
The main thing was, he hadn't just invested his feelings and energy into his girlfriend.
But money too!
Almost all the money he had earned working over the years had been given to his girlfriend!!!
Zeng Yan's current situation was just like what the middle-aged uncle had said.
A free-to-play account versus a grindy, paid account.
Between the two, it was easier to give up the forr and much harder to let go of the latter.
"Sigh!"
Zeng Yan still stood at the edge of the rooftop, letting the cold wind blow over him.
He didn't know that on the rooftop of the adjacent Building No. 1,
Long ago, in the sa batch as Jiang Ran when he first arrived at Alice Apartnt, there was a lab rat nad Murong Fu.
He had gone through sothing similar, maybe even worse.
Because Murong Fu had been dating his girlfriend for four years and they were already talking about marriage, saving up money for a house and bride price.
Then, less than a month after his girlfriend returned to her hotown, she hooked up with another man and even got pregnant.
In the end, he himself died at the hands of the Demoness sisters and was turned into minced at.
So, at the very least, Zeng Yan was still alive now.
"Sigh! What the hell should I do? Just confront her and break up?"
"Or keep enduring?"
"Or maybe, after I confront her, my girlfriend will be willing to break up with that guy? But even if they break up, that thorn in my heart will never be pulled out!!!!"
Zeng Yan fell into a dilemma shared by many people around the world.
Tornted with pain.
On the other side of Nancheng City.
This round's lab rats, Huo Yun and Huang Kaiyu, were in the courtyard of Huang Kaiyu's house.
Huang Kaiyu had ultimately agreed to sign the contract with that young married woman, the agreent signer.
He took the initiative to call her.
He had no choice—he had so many stray cats and dogs to feed, and he was really out of money.
He desperately needed the money.
After agreeing to sign the agreent,
He followed the young married woman to Alice Apartnt and t Huo Yun.
After introducing them to each other,
Huo Yun also agreed to continue signing the agreent.
The two hit it off imdiately, feeling like they had t too late.
After learning that they were both patients of Dr. Lucas
And that they were die-hard fans, willing to kill for Dr. Lucas,
The bond of friendship and trust between them instantly reached the level of sworn brothers.
