Chapter six
The tape
{The dorm.}
In the night, Jun Mey's flashed all that happened. The room was dark and silent. However, Jun Mey opened her eyes, rolling them around, preoccupied with different thoughts.
The bed on which Jun Mey and Nuan Mei laid was enormous, having a decorative bedsheet and bedcover. They covered themselves in a soft and fluffy blanket.
'Who'd have guessed that guy would be chilly to me,' Jun Mey thought, observing Nuan Mei's arms over her. She slept like a sheep without life's worry, hugging Jun Mey like her mother.
Jun Mey deliberately and slowly changed her position, adjusting the lifeless sleeping Nuan Mei. She thought, 'However, I can understand his behavior because I had accidentally discovered his secret. It was unexpected.
Although Chi An didn't tell Jun Mey where he came from, she could detect from his barely detectable falling tone and ethnic accent that he came from ShaTin city.
Starlight nation has urban cities in the four cardinal points, with the presidential city, Jong Ji, in the middle of the country. The nation's lingua franca originated in Jong Ji and developed into variations based on the ethnic origins of each urban city in different cardinal directions. Although Jun Mey may not have been the only one to recognize Chi An's ancestry, highly observant individuals may have detected subtle ethnic accents in the language.
{The class.}
In the dawn, the class bubbled with gasps and exclamations.
"What?!" Someone exclained, dancing. "Someone released Bingwen Deli's sex tape?"
Another male voice interrupted the speaker, "who had sex with him?"
As though marveled by that question, another person said, "you have no idea?" The speaker clicked his tongue and said, "it was Xia Wuya."
Another person interrupted and said, "tsk! It would be lovely to see Jun Mey nude."
Someone immediately interrupted the previous speaker, "that wish is impossible." The speaker snorted and continued, "Jun Mey had not yet slept with Bingwen Deli, according to what I had heard."
Another enthusiastic person spoke above the previous voice and said, "so Bingwen Deli had been cheating on the girl while spreading allegations about her." The speaker paused and furrowed her brow. Then she continued, "what a scumbag."
Another girl interrupted, "yes, particularly with that whore." After a pause, she continued, "I had a feeling something was wrong." The girl believed Xia Wuya staying with Bingwen Deli correlated with the shameless released video. She felt the girl was shameless for being oblivious to what she was doing to another girl. The girl felt righteous indignation.
Another student interrupted and said, "exactly! And Mey is even more stunning than she is." Placing more emphasis, the girl said, "even Mey's attitude is unrivaled. She truly is a queen."
The sociology students excitedly spread rumors and gossip throughout their lecture theatre—unsure of the ethical implications of the leaked sex tape released by a self-proclaimed internet justice fighter named "Internet God." However, no one should dismiss Bingwen Deli's family history, as he could escape unscathed.
The Starlight nation has been seeking the arrest of the "Internet God," a top hacker and the most wanted internet criminal for exposing several individuals over time, earning the moniker of a god-like figure.
{Xia Wuya's dorm.}
While the rumor diffused using word of mouth, the internet click rate kept increasing, Bingwen Deli and Xia Wuya argued and were close to falling out.
"You!" Bingwen Deli pointed angrily. He yelled, "why do you have my sex tape?" Bingwen Deli inquired about the girl in front of him. Xia Wuya was the name of the girl.
Xia Wuya, who stood before Bingwen Deli, avoided eye contact. She said, 'What exactly do you mean?"
Bingwen Deli rolled his eyes and interrupted Xia Wuya, saying, "what do I mean? Was it necessary to save our sex tape?" Not waiting for Xia Wuya's open mouth, which wanted to speak to produce a sound. Deli yelled, "did you forget we still have a notorious person as "Internet God"?"
Xia Wuya clenched his fist and thought, 'it must be that Jun Mey that reported me. That girl is a whore.' Xia Wuya released her clenched fist and bit her finger. She continued her thought, 'Now she's kicking against Deli. After all, Deli also had those tapes. So why is it mine that will cause this much trouble?'
