Chapter 114: Cruel Justice (Mystery) (Medium)

This semester, Xu Jingjia took "Logic". In the first lecture, Xu Jingjia met Alex, who also happened to take this subject. Although Alex and Xu Jingjia have always been in the same circle, there has not been much contact between the two before.

For Xu Jingjia, Alex is a contradictory existence.

While he pursues Vanessa, he and Zita remain quite good friends.

What is even more paradoxical is that he is now showing Xu Jingjia his private correspondence with Vanessa and Zita.

Alex used the various messages in the mobile phone to talk around the corner, but Xu Jingjia still couldn't understand what Alex wanted to say to her.

Finally, Alex reluctantly said, "The two of them are really very different from you in private, and you should be more wary of them."

Listening to Alex's words, Xu Jingjia's eyes narrowed slightly. For a moment, Xu Jingjia really had a hard time discerning Alex's motives, because she really felt that Alex was watching her reaction. Rather than studying whether Xu Jingjia believed him, Alex was more like exploring what Xu Jingjia would do.

Alex's kindness to Zita and Vanessa is seen by Xu Jingjia one by one.

Just now, Alex also revealed to Xu Jingjia that he is preparing a Valentine's Day gift for Vanessa, and asked Xu Jingjia what concentration of chocolate girls like. In addition, from the content of Zita's conversation with him, it seems that she also believes in Alex wholeheartedly.

One before the other, the two are too big in comparison.

In addition to family, friends and lovers are the closest people to people. Xu Jingjia used to despise those boys who were obedient to their girlfriends or wives, but at this moment, Xu Jingjia felt that that kind of boys actually had something to admire.

Because no matter what the circumstances, it is really hurtful to find that the other party is talking about his own wrongs with irrelevant people behind his back.

As a result, Xu Jingjia tried to ignore the impact of Alex's words on herself.

However, suspicion gives rise to dark ghosts.

After Alex said this, when Xu Jingjia went to Vanessa's part-time job to find her, she found that the partner on duty with Vanessa revealed disgust for her attitude everywhere.

At that time, Xu Jingjia thought of a sentence for no reason

"To know whether a person likes you or hates you, just look at the friends around her. The attitude of her friends best reflects her true thoughts."

In the next second, Rex's face flashed in Xu Jingjia's mind.

The two people who have the best relationship with Vanessa don't seem to like Xu Jingjia very much.

Since entering the fourth semester, in addition to Vanessa, Nina is the closest to Xu Jingjia among the girls.

Due to the growing rumors of unknown origin, Xu Jingjia no longer rushes home after school, but stays at school to contact Vanessa and Nina.

Xu Jingjia, Vanessa, and Nina share the same beliefs, but they are not the same denominations. Despite this, Xu Jingjia still believes that it is precisely because of the same belief that she will be more compatible with them, and they can better understand Xu Jingjia's behavior pattern and persistence.

Because of Alex's words, Xu Jingjia suddenly felt unsure, so she worked harder to maintain the friendship with Nina. Because there is only one elective subject different this semester, the friendship between Xu Jingjia and Nina has been qualitatively improved.

It's just that after the start of this semester, Nina has become more and more fond of saying things that Xu Jingjia doesn't understand.

"In the future, if you use some internal communication software in your workplace, you have to be careful what you say, and you can't do what you want like now. These messaging apps are all recorded, and everyone can see at a glance what you have said." Nina's words made Xu Jingjia stunned.

Xu Jingjia felt that Nina's worry was inexplicable, so she smiled inexplicably and said, "Don't worry, I don't like to talk nonsense. I'm fine."

"I said you have, and you have. Remember, everyone has a record!" Once again, Nina emphasized.

Xu Jingjia smiled even more, and her words were perfunctory: "Good, good, good...... I'm not going to actively hate anyone else anyway."

"Really? What about Zita?" Nina said unexpectedly. As Nina's words fell, Xu Jingjia smiled and looked at Nina intently.

Xu Jingjia's heart flashed with a thousand thoughts.

Zita sees Xu Jingjia's various difficulties in the eyes of people, and it would be too hypocritical to answer no.

Besides, Nina is no stranger.

Whenever it comes to these critical moments, Xu Jingjia always doesn't want to lie inexplicably.

Xu Jingjia thought about it, and there was nothing unscrupulous about her actions, so she calmly responded, "There have indeed been."

Xu Jingjia just used one sentence to bring the grievances between her and Zita. The understatement failed to convey her prudence. Regarding this topic, Xu Jingjia only intends to say so much, and if she talks too much, it will inevitably add rights and wrongs.

Nina looked at Xu Jingjia with a look of surprise on her face, as if she didn't expect Xu Jingjia to confess like this.

Before the tutorial class on "Database Design and Practice" began, the computer room was not yet open, and the students were waiting in the aisle. Fion, Mia, and Zita squeaked together and talked about something, deliberately muffling the conversation, but the laughter was undisguised.

Xu Jingjia couldn't help but ask Nina, "What are they talking about? Laughing like that?" The smiles of the three of them were slightly different from the usual conversations and laughter, but Xu Jingjia couldn't tell what the difference was.

Nina replied lightly, "I guess they're talking about Edwin......

「Edwin?」 Xu Jingjia said strangely, but she didn't have any impression of this name.

Fion then laughed and said, "Ah E, don't you even know who Edwin is? He's been in the same class as us since the first semester." The tone is unabashedly warm and yearning. Fion paused, then added, "Edwin is the most beautiful boy in our class."

Xu Jingjia let out a meaningful "oh" and didn't say anything more. She wasn't interested in boys' topics in the first place, let alone at this moment.

Rumors about Xu Jingjia are rampant.

For Xu Jingjia, this is a dangerous topic.

Fion seemed to be still indulging in some kind of beautiful fantasy, turning a blind eye to Xu Jingjia's lack of interest, and instead felt sorry for Xu Jingjia, and then smiled enthusiastically, "How can you not even know who Edwin is? Now, when I call him by name, he shall be whosoever shall be."

Before Xu Jingjia could react, Fion had already shouted loudly, "ED~WIN......"

Xu Jingjia saw a boy behind him turn his head to look, and couldn't tell who was calling him for a while, so he frowned slightly. Edwin casually looked around and saw that he couldn't find the person who called him, so he turned back and continued to talk to his friend, but he never looked in the direction where Fion was.

Seeing this, Fion shouted again, "ED~WIN......

「X! X edges!" Edwin replied impatiently. This phrase means "X! Who is so boring!" An upgraded version of the Cantonese swear words. Xu Jingjia couldn't help laughing, and when Edwin looked back at this side, Xu Jingjia hurriedly staggered his gaze.

For Xu Jingjia, Fion's style is too dangerous.

At the end of class, Xu Jingjia finally saw Edwin's true face.

As Xu Jingjia expected, the boy who can get into the eyes of Zita and Fion, Edwin's appearance is not rude. Like Leo, Edwin is a handsome guy in the mainstream aesthetic definition, he is more than 1.8 meters tall, has a pair of single-eyelid eyes and delicate skin, and his hairstyle is a rare normal, unmodified short hairstyle. looks delicate, but does not show femininity, and looks as good as the current K-pop stars......

Thinking like this, Edwin also seemed to notice that Xu Jingjia was looking at him. Edwin naturally lowered his face forty-five degrees, looked at Xu Jingjia intently, and slowly brushed his hair from the bottom up.

This action made Xu Jingjia look familiar, as if she had seen it in a certain movie segment. At the moment, although Edwin is suspected of narcissism, it is not ugly.

Xu Jingjia tried hard to hold back a laugh, looked away, walked down the stairs behind her, and left the corridor on the twelfth floor. Xu Jingjia thought to herself, if she saw that Edwin was Fion just now, Fion might be so happy!

It's a pity that Xu Jingjia doesn't know how to appreciate Edwin's beauty.

The Applied Computing panel report proceeded in an orderly manner, and by the fourth week, Nina's part-time time had been relocated to coincide with the discussion of the panel report, and she had not been involved in the discussion of the panel report ever since.

George and James had a lot of complaints about this matter, and Xu Jingjia had no choice but to find a way to excuse Nina, George and James stopped, but they inevitably thought that Xu Jingjia was covering her because of her relationship with Nina.

In fact, Xu Jingjia knows no more than George and James. Whether Nina comes or not, Xu Jingjia can't control it. Xu Jingjia and Marvin are not familiar with each other, and he doesn't seem to be dissatisfied, but he looks reasonable.

It turned out that Xu Jingjia was more inclined to work hard after assigning work, and then set a time to synthesize the results of each person's work.

This is the mode in Xu Jingjia's eyes to complete the team report at high speed.

However, none of the five of them, including Marvin, were familiar with web design.

In addition to HTML, many of the web programming languages mentioned by Professor Tang such as Java and PHP are still at the stage of talking on paper, and the course content covered by the previous courses is far from sufficient to complete this group report. Only the part of designing and applying databases is that Xu Jingjia is more familiar with, because Xu Jingjia has already learned these things in middle school.

To put it bluntly, the subject of "Applied Computing" is intended for students to complete the self-study of the techniques involved through this group report.

George and James are not interested in programming languages they don't understand, and they don't seek to understand them, but only say that Xu Jingjia is more talented than them, and when they encounter a job they don't understand, they will turn to Xu Jingjia in a few words.

Fortunately, Marvin is still happy to fight alongside Xu Jingjia.

After getting along, Xu Jingjia found that Marvin was slightly different from boys of the same age.

Boys of the same age always walk away on their own after pushing the door, but he will hold on to the handle of the door for a little longer, so that people walking behind him can also pass through. In all kinds of similar details in life, it is revealed that Marvin has a kind of care and thoughtfulness that other boys of the same age do not have. And this thoughtfulness and attentiveness is not limited to a single object, but to all people equally.

These are different from Xu Jingjia's expectations, because of such a responsible person, Leo's group should not give up. People who are usually abandoned when the group reports on the grouping are mostly reluctant to participate in the group work and relatively unaccountable.

Xu Jingjia thought that Marvin's tardiness on the first day and George's attitude towards him had confirmed this fact.

Don't admit it, but Marvin is still a little responsible.

After the lecture on Applied Computing, George, James, Marvin and Xu Jingjia would always go to a nearby mall for lunch.

On this day, Xu Jingjia and his entourage came to a Taiwanese side dish restaurant called Fish Flavor. The four of them happily took the menu and read it several times, and then beckoned the waiter from the restaurant to come over and place an order. Xu Jingjia has made up her mind, and she took a fancy to the honey-roasted chicken thigh dried rice of H meal and drank hot milk tea.

As soon as Ying Sui wrote down George and James' meals, Marvin said to Ying Ying, "H meal...... Adversity...... Drink hot milk tea."

After ordering, Marvin saw Xu Jingjia looking at him in surprise, so he said, "Why are you looking at me like this? Don't you want to say that what you want to order is the same as what I ordered?"

Xu Jingjia ignored him and ordered the same meal as expected.

Xu Jingjia has never met such a person, a person who has the same preferences as hers.

Many times, before Xu Jingjia ordered food, Marvin had already set the meal Xu Jingjia wanted to order for herself. Sometimes, when Xu Jingjia ordered food first, Marvin would shout at Xu Jingjia to order what he wanted. Xu Jingjia was amused by Marvin's childishness, because restaurants don't sell just one meal of the same type.

Xu Jingjia likes to listen to pop music, and every time she walks on the road without headphones, she feels uncomfortable, and she doesn't know where to put her hands and feet. Marvin also likes to listen to pop music, and not just listens, and is able to tell in detail the history and reasons for the popularity of each genre, as well as to analyze what elements are incorporated in each song, and the intention of the composer or lyricist to use those elements or certain instruments.

Marvin and Xu Jingjia have been in contact with MSM more and more frequently, and in addition to talking about the work of the group report, they will occasionally talk about their favorite songs.

Hui Ching-ka's music teacher in middle school was an opera lover, and she always introduced her favorite operas to her students in every music class. Because of this teacher's subtlety, Xu Jingjia also likes some famous operas with popular elements, such as "The Phantom of Singing" and "Lone Star Tears" and so on.

However, after leaving middle school, Xu Jingjia never found anyone who could be like Zhou Muqing and could talk to her with her.

So, when Marvin said she wasn't interested in these operas, Xu Jingjia wasn't much surprised. Xu Jingjia has not found a friend who has the same hobbies as her, but is not blindly agreed.

Xu Jingjia carefully controlled the number of times she communicated with Marvin through MSM, and she was afraid that if she contacted Marvin too often, there would be bad rumors.
