Chapter 211 He's Actually a Sister Complex
These past few days, no matter where Xia Lan went, Lin Zhao would sneakily follow her.
Lu He saw it all and felt annoyed.
"What's wrong with Lin Zhao? She follows you around all day at school... and even after school, she follows us all the way home. We always have to go to great lengths to shake her off..."
"Are you jealous?" Xia Lan blinked her innocent eyes, looking at Lu He with sparkling eyes: "She and Lin Yingxin are sisters, what are you thinking?"
“I just feel uncomfortable. She keeps staring at you like that,” Lu He said unhappily, pouting. “I think there’s something wrong with her. Who stalks someone like that?”
“That’s not all,” Xia Lan said, taking out her phone and opening Lin Yingxin’s social media account. “Look, she’s been following her sister, there are visit records, like records…”
In order to maintain Lin Yingxin's persona, Xia Lan continued to update her daily social circle of academic geniuses solving problems at regular intervals.
"No comments?"
“No, I’ve never left a message.” Xia Lan shook her head. She was also puzzled. According to the story’s setting, Lin Zhao should have a good relationship with Lin Yingxin, but in fact, the two had no interaction.
"You mean, Lin Zhao has been paying attention to this older sister unilaterally, but Lin Yingxin hasn't paid any attention to her?" That's strange. Lu He touched the tip of his nose and carefully looked at Lin Yingxin's social media account. Indeed, she had never followed Lin Zhao.
"Interesting, they're not mutual followers."
"I think I overlooked something," Xia Lan suddenly realized, "Did I give myself away with something earlier?"
They had never confirmed whether Lin Yingxin herself knew of Lin Zhao's existence, but simply assumed that the two knew each other...
"Could it be that Lin Yingxin doesn't know Lin Zhao, but Lin Zhao knows about my sister's existence... That would be terrible..." Xia Lan bit her fingernails, carefully recalling the scene of their first meeting in the classroom that day.
“If what you guessed is true, it’s no wonder Lin Zhao has been observing you all this time…” Lu He gently patted Xia Lan’s back: “Don’t be nervous. From Lin Zhao’s perspective, she would at most assume that her sister has always known her but is pretending not to know her.”
He comforted Xia Lan, saying, "This isn't a supernatural comic. She couldn't possibly guess that her sister was possessed; that doesn't make sense in this comic."
Hearing Lu He say that, Xia Lan nodded, believing that she had worried too much.
The two walked and talked ahead, with Lin Zhao secretly following from a distance of about twenty or thirty meters.
Of course, it was only what she thought she was stealing.
It was time for school to let out, and Lin Zhao hid among the students, keeping a perfect distance, his eyes fixed on Xia Lan.
She watched her sister chatting and laughing with Han Xi with displeasure, her heart filled with jealousy.
For so many years, she had been cautiously trying to get in touch with her sister, wanting to acknowledge Lin Yingxin, but she didn't dare to speak up for fear of being disliked.
But now it seems that during that day's test, her older sister wasn't surprised at all by her existence; she simply disliked and hated her as her younger sister, which made her very sad.
Just as she was feeling down, she suddenly noticed a suspicious man wearing sunglasses behind a telephone pole not far from her, secretly taking pictures of the students.
Following the line of sight, I saw it was in the direction my sister and the others were heading.
Lin Zhao slowed her pace and quietly retreated a bit, cautiously following the furtive man, watching him follow Lin Yingxin at a distance, constantly taking pictures of her.
As expected! He's a bad person!
Lin Zhao rushed forward and screamed, "Hey! There's a perverted old man taking pictures of girls here!"
His voice was incredibly loud, and in an instant, all the passersby and students turned around and looked at the sneaky man wearing sunglasses.
Seeing that things were going badly, the man hurriedly tried to run away, but Lin Zhao grabbed his clothes tightly and shouted, "Help! Grab him! He has photos on his phone; he might have taken pictures up your skirts! We can't let him get away!"
Her words were so startling that they almost made the sneaky man's sunglasses fall off. He tried desperately to escape, but was surrounded by indignant students, and even onlookers gathered around.
"Hand over your phone!" a brave male student shouted.
"Show it to everyone so they can see what you actually filmed!"
"You don't dare to take it out? You're hiding something! You sneaky photographer!"
"How disgusting! Disgusting! A thief who takes photos of people without their consent!"
The man was speechless and clutched his phone tightly in his pocket. He couldn't produce the photos; if they were seen, the charge of secretly filming women would be confirmed.
"No, I'm a private investigator, I'm not a bad person! I'm not a voyeur!"
Seeing that he had aroused public anger and that people were trying to snatch his phone, the man hurriedly and deliberately dropped the phone on the ground, and even "accidentally" stepped on it several times.
"Oh no, my phone! My phone!"
The crowd was bustling around, and soon the phone was trampled and smashed, making it completely unusable.
"Hey, who broke my phone! You damaged other people's property! You have to pay for it!"
The moment the crowd uttered the words "we'll lose money," they scattered in an instant.
It was as if they had never been here.
"Hey little girl, don't go!" The man in sunglasses stopped Lin Zhao, who was trying to sneak away.
"What are you doing? If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll scream for help!" Lin Zhao said, his voice stern but his heart pounding.
"Fine, fine, I won't touch you, but you have to give me an explanation. You suddenly started causing me trouble, and you think you can just leave like this?" The man in sunglasses helplessly spread his hands, but his position still blocked Lin Zhao's way.
"I saw you taking pictures of my sister! I'm not entirely wrong about it! Uncle! If you don't want to go to jail, you'd better leave quietly." Lin Zhao became more and more assertive as she spoke, completely forgetting her earlier fear.
After hearing what she said, the man in sunglasses sneered, "Your sister?"
Then, he actually turned around and left.
