Diary—Chapter 25: The Three Women Talk and Their Respective Attitudes
Dai Mubai changed his strategy.
He no longer aimed to hate Tang San but sought to win him over. He arranged for Tang San and Oscar to live in the same dormitory, while Luo Ye would have his room—effectively isolating him.
In Dai Mubai's opinion, as long as he could gain the support of the majority and ensure that others wouldn't stand with Luo Ye in future conflicts, the difficulty of winning Zhu Zhuqing back would be greatly reduced.
Luo Ye not only had no objection to this but was happy to see it happen.
Isolate him?
The more Dai Mubai did this, the easier it would be for him to craft diary entries that cast Luo Ye in a favorable light, thereby gaining Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong's recognition.
Although Luo Ye had mentioned this idea multiple times before, he still wanted to emphasize it again:
Dai Mubai, you're such a good guy!
Originally, the girls' dormitory was for two to a room, but at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's strong request, the three of them ended up sharing a room.
Dai Mubai and Tang San didn't think much of it—they simply assumed they wanted to join the fun.
But after everyone else left the dormitory and only the three girls remained, Zhu Zhuqing approached Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong and whispered:
"You two should also have a copy of the diary, right?"
When Zhu Zhuqing said this, she already had the answer.
Because when she mentioned the diary this time, she didn't sense anything unusual.
It was obvious that only the diary owner could reveal its existence without hindrance.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.
"That's right."
Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief. Her usually cold face relaxed, and she smiled softly.
"In that case, the rest is easy to explain. I want to ask—what do you think of what Luo Ye wrote in his diary?"
Zhu Zhuqing now fully trusted Luo Ye, but she also wanted to know what Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong thought—especially since it involved Luo Ye's future actions.
Luo Ye had already said that if Zhu Zhuqing could help him to persuade Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong to leave, that would be great.
Xiao Wu fell silent in response.
Ning Rongrong glanced at her and smiled.
"If it weren't for the risk of exposing the diary's existence, I wouldn't have continued coming to Shrek after reading those contents."
"For me, whether what Luo Ye wrote is true or not, I don't want to take the risk—so I can leave with you at any time."
Ning Rongrong didn't want the future described in the diary to become reality.
She had considered not coming to Shrek yesterday. But she was worried Luo Ye might notice something unusual and expose the diary's existence, so she gritted her teeth and came.
Regardless of whether Luo Ye is a reborn person or not, or whether Tang San is an extraterritorial demon as Luo Ye claimed, Ning Rongrong didn't want to have anything to do with Tang San now.
Even if Luo Ye invited her to leave now, she would agree without hesitation.
As the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, even if she missed the enrollment period, she could still enter the Heaven Dou Royal Academy with her identity—so she had nothing to worry about.
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but smile when she heard this, feeling very satisfied with her answer.
She and Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu and asked:
"What about you? What do you think?"
Xiao Wu pursed her lips, her face full of confusion and embarrassment. After a long silence, she whispered:
"I don't know either. I still can't believe that my third brother is the extraterritorial demon he mentioned. My third brother is very good to me and has always taken care of me."
"Now you suddenly say he's an extraterritorial demon from outside the domain and that he'll do such things in the future—how can I believe it?"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly, and Ning Rongrong's smile disappeared.
Although they had mentally prepared for this, they still felt a little disappointed after Xiao Wu's honest answer.
Just as Luo Ye wrote in his diary, after all these years of growing up together, Xiao Wu's image of Tang San was deeply fixed, and it wasn't so easy to change her perception.
Ning Rongrong sighed with some regret.
"Do you think there's anything wrong with what Luo Ye wrote in his diary? Just like you're a 100,000-year-old soul beast that transformed into a human—have you ever wondered how Luo Ye knew this? He probably hasn't even seen you before, right?"
"And what about what happened at the Rose Hotel yesterday? If Luo Ye isn't a reborn person and doesn't know the future through the diary, how could he have known that you, Tang San, and Dai Mubai would appear there?"
"If it only happened once, it might be a coincidence. But when all these things add up, doesn't it prove Luo Ye is a reborn person?"
Ning Rongrong paused, then raised her voice:
"The most important point is that Luo Ye has no way of knowing we have a copy of the diary. He even dared to write in the diary that Pope Bibi Dong's brain isn't working well. Could he be deliberately making these things up to deceive us?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong with surprise.
She knew herself well and wasn't very good at persuading others. She had been worried about how to convince Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.
But unexpectedly, Ning Rongrong had already launched a fierce attack, echoing her thoughts.
To prove she wasn't slacking, Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly added:
"I can vouch for Luo Ye—everything he wrote about me in his diary is true."
Xiao Wu also felt that Ning Rongrong's words made sense.
Since Luo Ye didn't know others had a copy of the diary and could see its contents, there was no reason for him to lie.
Therefore, the diary entries they saw were Luo Ye's genuine thoughts, with no false information.
Still, Xiao Wu found it hard to accept that Tang San was an extraterritorial demon and that he would plot to sacrifice her and kill Da Ming and Er Ming in the future.
She covered her head with both hands, in pain, and whispered:
"I don't know what to do. I don't know who to trust."
Ning Rongrong wanted to say something but was stopped by Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head slightly and gently comforted her.
"It's okay. You don't have to decide so quickly. Just observe for a while before making your choice."
"I believe Luo Ye will give you an answer soon."
