Chapter 3 Campus Unrequited Love (2)
Xia Mingwei transmigrated to her freshman year of college, a year before Lin Zeyang made her pretend to be his girlfriend. This meant she had plenty of time to rewrite her fate.
When filling out their college applications, most people chose to stay in their home province. Someone organized a dinner party, inviting high school classmates to hang out. Out of politeness, Lin Zeyang also informed Xia Mingwei of this.
Xia Mingwei was somewhat aloof and rarely participated in such events. But this time was different; it was Lin Zeyang who extended the invitation to her. After hesitating for a long time, she finally decided to accept.
This dinner party wasn't actually a happy one for Xia Mingwei. The previously lively atmosphere suddenly fell silent upon entering the private room. To ease the awkwardness, one of the girls came over and greeted her, "Long time no see, Xia Mingwei!"
She nodded and hummed in response. During their conversation, she didn't miss the unnatural look in the girl's eyes.
With Xia Mingwei's arrival, the previously lively scene suddenly fell silent. During the meal, everyone looked at each other in silence.
After the meal, many people went to the restroom in groups. Perhaps because she didn't want to stay in one place for too long, Xia Mingwei also went to the restroom.
After tidying up in the restroom, just as she was about to open the door to the private room, she overheard a conversation about her.
"You guys think Xia Mingwei doesn't even know us, why is she joining in this mess?" one of them shouted.
No sooner had this person finished speaking than someone else chimed in, "Exactly, exactly, just seeing her makes me nauseous!"
"I just saw her, and I was so embarrassed that I barely ate anything."
"His figure is so greasy, and the clothes he wears are..."
"Who on earth invited her here? I'm speechless..."
Mocking and mocking voices filled the air, and Xia Mingwei, standing outside the door, listened quietly to their conversation. Although this wasn't the first time Xia Mingwei had heard such words, hearing them again still caused a pang of pain in her heart. She knew that this was the original owner's emotions at play.
"It's okay, don't pay attention to what these people say! Don't care about the thoughts of these unimportant people..." Xia Mingwei comforted herself softly in her heart. After hearing these words, her heart gradually calmed down.
Given Xia Mingwei's fiery temper in the real world, she would have definitely gone into this private room, overturned the table, and caused a huge scene. However, considering the original owner's personality, her hand, which was about to knock on the door, paused in mid-air, and she ultimately chose to leave.
Back in her dorm, Xia Mingwei, lying on her bed, received a message from Lin Zeyang, a rare occurrence.
"Where have I seen you? Did something happen?"
"I heard what my classmates said..." Xia Mingwei typed the words in the chat box and then deleted them. She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and finally left only "I'm not feeling well, I'll go back first" as her reply.
"Then take care of yourself and get some rest!" Lin Zeyang said this and then quickly ended the conversation.
After thinking for a long time, Xia Mingwei sat up. She pinched the fat on her stomach, looked at her thick thighs, and sighed deeply. She thought to herself, "Looks like I need to move my weight loss plan forward!"
Xia Mingwei's obesity started in adolescence. After suffering a serious illness in her first year of junior high school, she needed to take medication to control her condition for a long time.
The medication she was taking contained large amounts of hormones, causing her body to swell up rapidly, like a fermented bun. As her body became increasingly uncontrollable, her appetite also increased dramatically, and the pressure of school entrance exams exacerbated her obesity. By the time she graduated from junior high school, her weight had soared to 70 kg.
The things teenagers say unintentionally are often the most hurtful. Their unrestrained words were like sharp swords piercing Xia Mingwei's heart, leaving her scarred. They called Xia Mingwei insulting terms like "fat pig," "fat woman," and "fatso."
To say she didn't care at all would be a lie. At that sensitive and suspicious age, Xia Mingwei gradually changed from being cheerful and lively to becoming taciturn. She spoke less and less, and it was rare to see her smile.
After entering high school, in order to protect herself from further harm, Xia Mingwei chose to distance herself from people. She thought, "Without communication, perhaps there will be no harm!"
Xia Mingwei's solitary lifestyle and lack of interaction with classmates made her seem like a freak to others. Gradually, "unsociable" and "ugly people are often strange" became her other labels.
Actually, Xia Mingwei had thought about losing weight, but it was easier said than done. She lacked willpower and gave up after only a short time each time. It wasn't until her sophomore year of college that Xia Mingwei finally succeeded in her weight loss journey after many years.
The story of her final weight loss attempt begins in a physical education class during her second semester of freshman year. Physical fitness tests are never easy, and for Xia Mingwei, who was slightly overweight, the 800-meter test was a unique kind of torture.
The sun was exceptionally strong on the day of the physical test. The scorching sunlight felt like needles pricking the skin, causing a painful sensation.
As the PE teacher blew his whistle, the girls in her class began their physical fitness test. Xia Mingwei, running hard under the scorching sun, watched her classmates' figures gradually disappear into the distance, her heart filled with anxiety. Although she already knew this would be the result, Xia Mingwei still quickened her pace, wanting to catch up with their light steps.
However, as the old saying goes, "Haste makes waste!" The more Xia Mingwei tried to do it, the less likely she was to succeed. One by one, her classmates finished the entire course, while she had only completed one lap.
Under the scorching sun, she dragged her obese body as she ran across the playground. With each stride, Xia Mingwei's body reacted violently. Her face and the excess fat on her body jiggled and jiggled uncontrollably. Perhaps Xia Mingwei's running style was too comical, drawing pointing fingers and bursts of laughter from the sidelines.
She thought she already knew these words, was used to this kind of mockery, and wouldn't be hurt anymore. But she was wrong, terribly wrong. She thought, "Even after all these years, I still can't be indifferent. Hearing these words still hurts!"
Looking at the crowd of onlookers, Xia Mingwei felt a blur before her eyes, and she could no longer hold on. She fell heavily to the ground and fainted.
