Great, It's the Pervy Neighbor. We're Doomed

Chapter 675: Lei Xiaoman's Revenge

"So, unless Mao Li Zhishu is willing to give up his position as manager and go to a completely unfamiliar Alice Apartment in another country where he doesn't speak the language and could lose his life.""Otherwise, for now, between him and Li Shumu, it's either him or me."

The smoke of gunpowder was spreading, building momentum for the impending battlefield.

On this side, the lab rat Li Shumu was tracking down Eileen.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the lab rat Lei Xiaoman faced one crisis after another.

Just after sinking into the panic of having killed someone.

She had lost all spirit, curling up alone on the sofa.

Her mind was entirely filled with the scene of accidentally killing that middle-aged man.

She couldn't control it—it replayed like a film, over and over again.

Right then, the phone she had placed on the glass coffee table suddenly lit up.

She didn't reach for it. Only after her phone lit up many more times did she pick it up.

To see who was messaging her.

She unlocked her phone.

Opened WeChat.

Glanced at it—the person messaging her was her close best friend from high school, her classmate.

Lei Xiaoman herself had failed the college entrance exam, her score only enough for a specialized college.

So she simply stopped going to school altogether, went out to work, and earned money to put her boyfriend through college.

After all, her boyfriend Sun Jiankang's family was pretty poor—they had to scrape together his college tuition fees.

And this best friend of hers had done far better than her on the exams.

She had gotten into the same university as Lei Xiaoman's boyfriend.

The WeChat conversation between them was as follows:

Best Friend: "You there?"

"You there?"

Lei Xiaoman: "I'm here. Hurry up and say it—what's up? If you're bothering me for nothing, I'll feed you a hammer."

Best Friend: "I discovered a secret, a huge secret, about your boyfriend. But I don't know if I should tell you."

Lei Xiaoman: "It's fine, just say it, sis. What's wrong with my Jiankang?"

Best Friend: "I went out with my roommate this afternoon to have some fun."

"Then I happened to see Sun Jiankang."

"At the time, there was another girl beside him—she looked pretty petite and cute."

"I saw the two of them holding hands, walking very intimately into an official Fruit Phone store."

"I hid myself, looked through the glass, and saw them go inside and buy a Fruit Phone. It looked like your boyfriend was the one paying."

Lei Xiaoman was silent for one minute, two minutes, three minutes.

Best Friend: "Xiaoman?"

"Xiaoman????"

After five minutes of silence, Lei Xiaoman replied.

"Oh, maybe she's just his friend. I mean, buying a phone is such a big deal—you'd want someone to go with you for a second opinion. And since you were outside, maybe you misread the situation—maybe it wasn't Jiankang paying."

Best Friend: "That's what I thought too. But then I asked my roommate for her opinion—should we keep following them? She agreed. She seemed pretty excited."

"They finished buying the phone, then went to eat at a hotpot restaurant. After they finished eating, I saw them walk into a hotel."

Lei Xiaoman: "Haha. Today's April Fool's Day, right? So everything you sent was just messing with me, right?"

Best Friend: "No. When have I ever joked about your relationship with that guy?"

Lei Xiaoman: "You must be messing with me. Jiankang isn't that kind of person."

The best friend then sent over several photos.

And a few short videos.

The photos showed Sun Jiankang and that girl feeding each other dishes very intimately.

The videos were the same, plus one of them walking hand in hand into the hotel.

Best Friend: "My condolences, sis! I didn't want to tell you, but I know you've been working your ass off out there, sending him all your hard-earned money, and he's using it to keep another woman here. I couldn't hold it in any longer!!!!!"

Lei Xiaoman was silent for a minute before replying: "Let me be alone for a bit."

Best Friend: "Yeah! But don't do anything stupid, Xiaoman!!! Even without him, there are plenty of men in this world!"

"Better ones than him are a dime a dozen!!!!!"

That was the end of their conversation.

At this moment, Lei Xiaoman finally felt the same as Zeng Yan.

She experienced the bitterness of love betrayed, the pain of love being shattered.

Just like any heartbroken person.

Upon learning that her other half had cheated.

Lei Xiaoman burst into loud sobs right then and there.

Curled up on the sofa, she cried for who knows how long.

All in all, it came in waves—she cried until her eyes were completely red.

And the fear and guilt she'd felt earlier about killing someone—that was now completely washed away by her boyfriend's betrayal.

In the live stream room.

Ultimate Rich Kid: "[Learning the heartache of love, learning to let go of old desires—how hard is it to forget all those beliefs we once had?]"

Fairy Sister: "[Hey, how can you send voice messages?]"

Little Dragon Girl: "[I know it's totally immoral, but I don't know why—every time I see a couple break up, especially when one of them cheats, I get super excited.]"

Little Aunt: "[I'm excited too. Nothing better than watching a good trainwreck unfold.]"

Middle-aged Uncle: "[Love is like the world—after long division comes unity, after long unity comes division.]"

Room 601.

Lei Xiaoman kept crying, crying very sadly.

When she couldn't squeeze out another tear, she just choked up and fell silent.

She held her phone, scrolling through the photo album again and again—photos and videos of her and her boyfriend, as well as their chats on WeChat.

These were memories. Beautiful memories.

This was her way of commemorating the time that had died.

From the moment she learned of her boyfriend's betrayal, she hadn't touched a single sip of water or a single grain of rice.

Time passed all the way to past eight o'clock in the evening, nearly nine o'clock, when the sky outside the window was pitch black.

Still curled up on the sofa, Lei Xiaoman suddenly lifted her face.

That fair face was covered in chaotic tear streaks, and her eyes were bloodshot.

But compared to the heartbreak and utter devastation of the past few hours.

At this moment, Lei Xiaoman's face now held a hint of complexity and determination.

She opened her mouth and spoke in a voice so hoarse from crying for so long that it sounded utterly raspy:

"Sun Jiankang! You dare to play me for a fool?! I won't let you get away with this!!!!"

Betrayed by her boyfriend's cheating, Lei Xiaoman's true nature began to resurface—she was recovering her old fiery, fierce personality.

After saying this, she picked up her phone.

She found her dad's WeChat account.

And sent him a message: "Old man, you there?"

A reply came a full fifteen minutes later:

"Sweetie? What's up? Your old man was just watching the game!"

"Damn it, I'm so pissed!"

"Sweetie! You have no idea! The national team was playing against Cherry Blossom Country! They got beaten 0 to 4!!!!!"

"Oh my god!"

"And the opposing team didn't even send their starters—they sent their third or fourth string players! I heard they're college students?!"

"The national team—what the hell?! What kind of crap were they playing?!"

These were all voice messages.

Lei Xiaoman could hear the anger in her dad's voice.

She had absolutely zero interest in soccer. She couldn't understand what was so great about watching a soccer match.

Though, she did think soccer-themed anime was pretty good.

"Alright, old man. Do we still have any sedative at home?"

She typed.

Her dad: "Yeah, we do. What do you need that for?"

Lei Xiaoman typed: "Catching rats."
