Chapter 120: Cruel Justice (Mystery) (Part II)
Three
After the report of the "Applied Computing" group was completed, Xu Jingjia realized that she had become accustomed to chatting with Marvin with MSM every day, but after the report was completed, she had no valid reason to look for Marvin again.
She still keeps an eye on Marvin's online status through MSM. If a user is listening to a song, the title of the song they are listening to will be displayed after the live status.
Xu Jingjia would click on the same song on her song list, and her heart was faintly sweet because she listened to the same song as Marvin.
However, although the sweetness is light, the bitter aftertaste is very strong.
Since falling in love with Marvin, Xu Jingjia has repeatedly reminded herself with this sentence from Jin Yong's "Chivalrous Journey": "In your life, don't ask for anything from others. If someone wants to give it to you, you don't have to ask for it, they will naturally give it to you; If they refuse, it is useless for you to beg and beseech, but to make them hate."
What's more, trusting this thing is not something that can be obtained by asking.
However, Xu Jingjia still couldn't help but keep begging.
Xu Jingjia, who has never liked explanations, has always broken her own principle of not explaining for Marvin's sake. She didn't speak, but when Marvin was suspicious of the rumors, she would always try to find evidence and put it in front of him for him to see, constantly trying to achieve the uncertain indicator in Marvin's mind.
The night before the assignment for Statistical Data Analysis was due, Marvin approached Xu Jingjia through MSM. What he wanted was not Xu Jingjia's calculations, but George and James'.
Homework on statistical analysis, which involves the use of statistical software for analysis and computation, often takes a long time. In the process of completing the homework, students will always check the results of the calculation with each other to prevent mistakes in the analysis process.
George and James are known to have consistently performed well in mathematics and science, with few math-related grades that are not rated A.
After going through the events reported by the Applied Computing team, Xu Jingjia actually didn't expect George and James to check the results with her.
However, under Marvin's constant urging, she still asked.
As a result, there was no reply to the reason.
Xu Jingjia was not familiar with the content of this subject, and her homework was very slow. At three o'clock in the morning, Marvin sent another message: "It's three o'clock, how could George and James not have sent you the results of the calculations?"
Xu Jingjia replied, "There really isn't." In desperation, Xu Jingjia sent a part of her good job to Marvin.
Marvin quickly replied to Xu Jingjia, pointing out that there was a problem with her first problem, and the rest was correct.
Xu Jingjia then remembered that Marvin's popularity was much better than her, and he didn't worry about the people who didn't check the results with him, and judging from his performance, he had already checked the results.
Marvin didn't give up chasing George and James because Xu Jingjia sent him the results of his calculations. On the contrary, he has been persevering in his questioning.
With each message from Marvin, you could feel his more and more obvious impatience and unkindness just between the lines. Later, between his words, he even suspected that Xu Jingjia was deliberately not transmitting the results of George and James's calculations to him.
With this message, Xu Jingjia's heart gradually became desolate. The mildness of the summer night could not offset the chill in her heart.
Because she remembered the rumors that have been in the dust recently, saying that she "loves to hide her secrets". In addition to testing whether Xu Jingjia was as rumored, she couldn't think of a second reason for Marvin to pursue the results of the calculation.
At this time, Marvin demanded from Xu Jingjia that she had nothing at all.
Maybe...... Ha...... She should be glad Marvin was willing to find out. However, Xu Jingjia gradually understood that her efforts could never catch up with the words of others.
Because it is only two or three days, Marvin will add new suspicions to Xu Jingjia. And this time, she will no longer be able to hand over the evidence, and the explanation will not be useful.

Since Marvin's birthday singing party, Vanessa has also learned Fion and Zita's phrase when checking Xu Jingjia's phone: "If it's bright, there's nothing that can't be seen, right?"
Xu Jingjia was resistant to Vanessa's move. However, Xu Jingjia can understand that Vanessa's intentions are completely different from those of Zita and Fion.
Vanessa was surprised that after the singing K party, Xu Jingjia and Marvin still made no progress. Affected by the rumors, Vanessa began to wonder if Xu Jingjia had another boyfriend.
So, Vanessa changed her way to look for evidence in Xu Jingjia's mobile phone.
Shortly before the big exam, when Vanessa and Xu Jingjia visited the bookstore, Vanessa couldn't help but ask, "Why haven't you been in a relationship all along?"
Xu Jingjia knew that Vanessa wanted to ask Marvin about it, but Xu Jingjia didn't want to involve the people Vanessa knew, so she said half-truthfully: "There are too many beautiful things in this world than love...... I like to be with anime, and if I fall in love, I have to spend a lot less time with anime."
Xu Jingjia was asked by Vanessa unnaturally, so she took out her mobile phone from her bag and covered it up by checking the information in her mobile phone.
"What about middle school? When you were in middle school, you always had someone you liked, right?" Vanessa asked persistently.
After this question, Xu Jingjia remembered Norman, who had been in high school for two years and couldn't speak ten words to each other, and responded, "It's okay......
Vanessa replied, "Then why aren't they together?"
Xu Jingjia thought that since things had already changed, there was nothing that could not be said, so she said: "At that time, in the college entrance examination, my mother had terminal lung cancer, and she always had to rush for various things after class every day, where did she have this thought?
I thought that I would have a chance to learn about it in the future, but before he graduated, he was with other people."
Xu Jingjia didn't want to make any trouble, so Norman's name and any information about him were not mentioned at all in the conversation.
"Then why don't you let him wait for you?" Xu Jingjia didn't expect Vanessa's question to follow-up.
Xu Jingjia thought for a moment and replied, "I won't let people wait, and I won't wait for anyone. With so many variables in this world, who knows for sure what will happen?" After thinking about it, Xu Jingjia said lightly: "Since other people can also do it, it doesn't have to be me."

One!
Before the end of the final exam, Vanessa and others had already made an appointment to celebrate George's birthday after the final exam.
Xu Jingjia will be very nervous when she takes an exam, and she will always have insomnia and headaches. Only this time it turned into diarrhea, and by the day of the final exam, she had forgotten how many times she had run to the toilet for the exam.
Xu Jingjia dragged her uncomfortable body back to school, and always felt a dull pain in her stomach because of nervousness. So, I wondered if I could escape George's birthday party after the exam.
Anyway, George's friends are all over the world, and she is not the only one.
At that time, Xu Jingjia still had a lot of thoughts about Marvin in her heart, so as soon as she arrived outside the exam venue, she noticed that Marvin had just cut a strange haircut.
It just so happened that Vanessa and Rex were also standing next to Marvin, and Xu Jingjia stepped forward to chat and laugh with them, passing the short waiting time before the exam started.
The two-year associate degree program is coming to an end, and the students are about to go their separate ways, so Xu Jingjia no longer takes the unhappiness of studying to heart. Since the beginning of the exam, the circle has become harmonious again.
Others seem to be like Xu Jingjia, and her relationship with James is much easier than before.
Xu Jingjia thought, maybe it's not bad to end like this.
After the exam, as soon as she stepped out of the examination room, Xu Jingjia saw Ian sitting at the study table outside the door of the examination room with her friends.
Like Norman, although Xu Jingjia had a good impression of them, not to mention the number of sentences spoken, in fact, the two sides did not even have each other's contact information.
Xu Jingjia had almost forgotten the existence of this person. If Ian hadn't stared at her with inexplicable eyes, staring at her heart, she wouldn't have noticed him.
Xu Jingjia immediately looked away, but what she thought in her heart was that the date of the exam that had just ended was very late, and it stands to reason that students who took other courses had already finished the semester. Isn't Ian Mo playing bridge again?
However, it doesn't look like it.
Xu Jingjia suppressed the weirdness in her heart, and turned to Fion, Mia, and Nina, "Are you going to leave in a while? George's Birthday Party...... If you don't go, then I won't either!"
I only heard Fion reply, "How so! Of course we'll go!"
Mia chimed in, "By the way, it's the last day. Why don't you go?"
Xu Jingjia then pointed to Vanessa and the others, who had already drifted away, and said, "Then let's catch up quickly!" Xu Jingjia sighed in her heart, even Nina and Mia, who were not very involved in the party, went, and it seemed that she couldn't make sense if she didn't go.
Nina replied, "Fion just said that there was still a little thing in the locker, so let's stay with her and go over when she returns the key." At this point, Vanessa was waving to them, and she said, "Why don't you go with Vanessa first?" That way, you don't have to run around with us."
Xu Jingjia thought about it, and didn't want to move much because she was unwell, so she left with Vanessa.
The crowd walked through the cafeteria of the university dormitory in the direction of the pedestrian bridge.
Xu Jingjia and Rex and Vanessa were walking side by side, and Marvin was slightly behind. However, as they walked, Rex, Vanessa, and Marvin gradually fell behind, leaving Xu Jingjia alone to walk ahead.
Xu Jingjia turned around and talked and laughed with Vanessa and Rex, and only after being reminded by Vanessa did she look down at the small level at the exit of the cafeteria.
As a result, as soon as he raised his eyes, he met Norman's inexplicable gaze. Xu Jingjia only felt that Norman's gaze was very different from the usual time when she met him on the road, and she immediately thought of his girlfriend, felt that this was not good, and hurriedly lowered her head to avoid his gaze.
At this time, a friend next to Norman shouted, "Wa~Ho~ Is this the legendary unbearable star?"
There were a lot of friends standing behind Norman, and most of them were men. This person coaxed together, Xu Jingjia didn't understand what he meant, and suddenly panicked, so he turned to look at Vanessa.
Vanessa didn't know how Hui Jingjia reacted, so she smiled and said, "What are you doing? Let's go."
After that, he stretched out his hand and pushed Xu Jingjia forward.
