novelSomeone Still Believed Her
| ← Ch.059 | Ch.061 → |
Xia Xiaoluo left the villa to see Luo Xixi in the dormitory. There was a long way from the Ling's villa to Dwichen's College. She didn't expect that it was so far to the college because she used to go by car. It took her a lot of time to walk there today. Her state in pajamas and black and blue face led to people's discussion and contempt.
It took her almost two hours that Xia Xiaoluo walked to Dwichen's College. Thanks to the lunch hour, there were not many students in the college when she arrived. So she returned to the dormitory with bowed head quickly.
"Xixi!" Xia Xiaoluo opened the unlocked door and called her intimate roommate who has given her the greatest help during the crisis in injured tones.
"Oh my god!" Luo Xixi looked up and frowned after seeing her black and blue face was worse than the photos on the BBS.
She was so tired that she couldn't wait lying on Luo Xixi's bed after such a long way to college.
Luo Xixi was a person with few words. She didn't ask Xia Xiaoluo anything, even though she was quite surprised about her appearance. They stayed in one room, but couldn't hear any voice.
After a long time, Xia Xiaoluo couldn't help grumbling to Luo Xixi. She got all the grievance off her chest except something about Ling Tianyi.
"Xixi, do you believe me?" She asked.
"Of course!" Luo Xixi answered without thinking.
"Really? Xixi, why?" she asked. She could not show her innocence this time, but Luo Xixi still believed her. This trust became the solid foundation of their friendship.
"Because the first photos meant nothing, someone made a photo interpretation. And all the photos sent at the second time appearing at 5:00 a. m. , were composite images made by PS." She said calmly.
Xia Xiaoluo held her arm immediately with hopeful eyes, so that Luo Xixi couldn't move her mouse freely. She could not think too much but ask directly, "The photos are composite images. But how can we prove that? One of my relatives is really angry about the photos. He almost kills me! Please tell me how to do with it!"
"Anyone with basic knowledge of image processing will know. If you need to prove it, you can ask the relative to make an image authentication." Luo Xixi said.
"That's great! It's the evidence to eliminate my grievances." Xia Xiaoluo said.
Xia Xiaoluo went back to her bed excitedly. She found the clothes in the dormitory before, dressed up herself quickly. She couldn't stay in the dormitory all the time. She had to go out and find a master who could do image authentication and provide document evidence for her. Then she would dare to go back to see Ling Tianyi, the tyrant.
After changing clothes, she remembered that she had no cash. She couldn't walk anymore, so she had to take a bus. She needed some change.
"Xixi, please do me a favor. Can you lend me some change?" Xia Xiaoluo moved to Luo Xixi who buried her head in computer.
Luo Xixi threw her wallet to Xia Xiaoluo and said, "Take as much as you want."
"You are a rich girl!" she said, there were only the hundred-yuan bills in Luo Xixi's wallet. She found every corner, but couldn't find any change.
"Well, there isn't any change in your wallet, so I will take one hundred yuan. I will give it back to you when I come back next week."
Luo Xixi didn't care about that. One hundred yuan meant nothing to her, a girl born with a silver spoon.
"I take it away! One hundred yuan." Xia Xiaoluo confirmed again. When she was in high school, she needed to say much more good words for ten yuan, not to say one hundred yuan.
"Just take it. You don't need to pay me back. You can buy some food, about one hundred yuan, making a big meal for me when you come back next time. You promised me." Luo Xixi answered. For an otaku girl who always ate instant noodles every day just like her, the most satisfying thing was having a big meal remained within doors.
"No problem! I always keep my word!" Xiao Xiaoluo promised firmly. Before she went out, she saw the cap on Luo Xixi's bed. Thinking of her injured face, she said shamelessly, "Xixi, please do me the last favor, the cap... ha-ha..."
"Put it on. If this one is useful, you can also take it." Luo Xixi pointed to the sunglasses on her table.
Xia Xiaoluo was so happy and she put them on at once, looking at herself in the dressing mirror. More than half of her face was covered, so that the black and blue face couldn't be seen. She looked like a girl wearing western style clothes.
Luo Xixi took one second to glance at Xia Xiaoluo who was looking at how beautiful she was. She frowned and continued to pay attention to the computer.
Xia Xiaoluo left the college to find somewhere that could do image authentication. But she remembered that Luo Xixi deleted those dirty photos on the way. So she went back to beg Luo Xixi to find some of the photos.
"You are wasting your time. Even though you get the photos, the only thing you can do is to take them to professional organizations. Do you want more people to know about this thing? Do you want more people to see the photos?" Luo Xixi was willing to help her but she thought Xiaoluo's idea was illogical.
Xia Xiaoluo acknowledged that her words were reasonable. However, her tyrant ordered that she had to find the evidence. Luo Xixi thought a while and said, "It is easy to get the evidence, because you should have known who has framed you. You can call the person and record what he said. Or you can chat with him through QQ and take the chatting records as the evidence. Well, if you want to see him by yourself, I can lend this to you."
Xia Xiaoluo saw that she took out a thick pen with some buttons on it."What is it?"
"Recording pen!" Luo Xixi gave it to Xia Xiaoluo, but Xia Xiaoluo didn't know how to use it.
"It is a German product with perfect recording effect. Press this button and it will begin to record." She taught Xia Xiaoluo how to use it simply. And Xia Xiaoluo liked it very much.
"Xixi, I love you so much! You wouldn't mind my borrowing it, right?" Xia Xiaoluo knew that Luo Xixi liked computer best, perhaps she also liked digital products. But, she really needed it. With the recording pen, she could meet Xia Jingru and Tao Wenying.
"If I do, don't you borrow it? Go, now! Don't disturb me surfing the Internet." Luo Xixi didn't look at her playing the computer all the time.
"OK, I will go now. Xixi, thank you!" Xia Xiaoluo said sincerely. She was so moved by Luo Xixi's help.
With the recording pen, Xia Xiaoluo went to see Xia Jingru at once. Even though Xia Jingru sent the real photos, she couldn't find Tao Wenying. So had to find Xia Jingru first.
She hadn't gone back to the Xia's small villa, since she was kicked out by the Xia's. Though the floor space of Xia's villa couldn't compare with the Ling's luxury villa. The living standard of the Xia's was better than that of the common working class.
Xia Youfeng went to the company early in the morning. Zhu Yufen went to play mahjong with her friends. And Xia Jingru went to have a party with her friends.
There was nobody in Xia's villa. Xia Xiaoluo felt a little disappointed.
Since the injured body and lack of sleep last night, she fell asleep while wandering in the street. She fell down while walking. She hurt the arms and legs. She woke up and sat at the step on the sidewalk, touching her injury with her dirty hands.
"You shouldn't do that, your injuries will have an infection. Let's go to the hospital!"
Xia Xiaoluo heard the sound of heaven which was gentle and warm; then she looked up. It was Ouyang Ziqian.
"Ouyang senior, I... I..." Xia Xiaoluo felt so embarrassed. Ouyang senior must have seen the photos on the BBS. What would he think about me?
"Let me send you to the hospital, you should treat your injuries." Ouyang Ziqian offered his slender hand to Xia Xiaoluo, sitting on the step.
Xia Xiaoluo didn't touch his hand, but standing up by herself. She gathered her strength and said to Ouyang Ziqian, "Ouyang senior, I'm OK. I fell down accidentally. It doesn't matter. You don't need to worry about me. If you are busy, you can go now. I'm OK. Don't worry about me."
Xia Xiaoluo said a lot, but it seemed that Ouyang Ziqian didn't hear that. He said gently, "If you don't treat your injuries on time, it will have an infection easily. There is a hospital over there, about four hundred meters ahead."
After saying that, Ouyang Ziqian walked in the front. It seemed that he knew she would follow him.
Looking at his slim back, Xia Xiaoluo followed up silently just as he wished. Seeing her following him, he slowed down and walked together with her.
"Actually, there are a lot of things you don't need to worry about. A clear conscience, all will be enough. No matter what the others say, the most important thing is your clear conscience." It seemed that Ouyang Ziqian was understanding the meaning of life, or enlightening her about the things on the BBS.
Xia Xiaoluo felt so warm. Though she was abused and distrusted by Ling Tianyi, she got Luo Xixi's trust and Ouyang Ziqian's encouragement. She felt that things weren't as bad as they seem now.
