The sound of Wang Jie banging on the door was even more violent than last time.
I estimated that this door would bravely meet its end after a few more rounds.
Once she calmed down a bit, I opened the door just a crack.
"What do you want?"
Wang Jie stood there with bloodshot eyes and her hair in disarray.
She must have been quite affected by whatever was going on.
"Did you spray something in my room?!"
She gritted her teeth, looking as if she wanted to devour me whole.
I blinked innocently.
"What are you talking about? I don’t know anything."
"What’s that smell in your room? How come I didn’t notice it before?"
"Stop pretending!"
Wang Jie suddenly lunged forward, trying to force the door open.
I was prepared for this; I braced my foot against the door, and it didn’t budge.
"Do you have any evidence?"
I continued to play the innocent flower.
"If you don’t have proof, don’t make baseless accusations, or I’ll sue you for defamation."
"I..."
Wang Jie was at a loss for words.
She really didn’t have any evidence.
After all, she couldn’t exactly bring out my pillow and blanket as physical proof, could she?
That smell would probably require the police to wear gas masks.
"Who else could it be but you! You're the one who wishes I were dead!"
She began with subjective assumptions and personal attacks.
"I don't know."
I replied succinctly.
"Did you do it?"
"It wasn't me."
I don't know, I'm not clear, it wasn't me.
The "three no's" principle, mastered skillfully.
Wang Jie saw that I was unyielding and had no evidence, and she was so angry that she stomped her feet in place.
She pointed at my nose and made a fierce threat.
"Fine! Lin Xi! Just wait for me!"
"This isn't over!"
With that, she slammed her door shut with a loud bang.
I guessed she was going back to continue her battle with that "biological weapon."
I shrugged, closed the door, and locked it.
In the following days, the atmosphere in the house dropped to freezing point.
Whenever Wang Jie and I met in the common areas, we treated each other like air.
Xiao Mei sent me a message of "concern."
"Xi Xi, maybe you should just move... it feels really scary."
I replied with a reassuring emoji.
This little scene? I've got it under control.
It's a war of attrition; who's afraid of whom?
I stroked my chin.
It was time to prepare for the next round of "surprises."
Wang Jie had barely been quiet for two days before she started stirring things up again.
This time, she decided to take a different approach, focusing on the conveniences of life.
Honestly, even elementary school kids didn’t act this childish.
In the morning, I rushed to work and dashed into the bathroom.
Great, I could hear the sound of running water inside.
Wang Jie was taking a shower.
Fine, she got there first.
I could wait.
But twenty minutes passed, and she was still in there.
The water had stopped, but the door remained shut.
I knocked on the door.
"Wang Jie? Are you done? I'm in a hurry!"
A leisurely voice came from inside.
"Oh, I'll be out soon."
Another ten minutes went by.
Just when I felt like I might explode from impatience, she finally emerged.
Her hair was damp, and she was leisurely drying it off.
She glanced at me, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.
It was intentional, absolutely intentional!
Alright, you’re ruthless.
I braved the risk of being late and rushed in to settle the score.
That evening, I was in a video conference with a client.
The PPT on the screen had just reached a critical point.
The image froze.
It started buffering.
Disconnected?!
I quickly checked the network.
The WiFi signal was full, but there was no internet connection.
I dashed out of the room.
In the living room, next to the router, Wang Jie was facing away from me, pretending to look at her phone.
However, her hand resting on the router hadn’t fully pulled back yet.
The power and network indicator lights on the router were off.
Oh, so it’s you!
You unplugged my internet cable, huh?
"Wang Jie, did you mess with the router?"
I tried to keep my voice calm.
She turned around with an expression that said, "What are you talking about? I don’t understand."
"Nope."
"What happened to the router? Is the internet acting up again?"
Her acting was over-the-top; she should consider applying to a film school.
It’s not over yet.
I wanted to catch up on some sleep at home over the weekend.
Just as I lay down, an earth-shattering music blared from the next room.
DJ! DJ! Let’s get this party started!
And it was the local hype version!
I couldn’t take it anymore and went to knock on the door.
The music abruptly stopped.
Wang Jie opened the door, looking utterly bewildered.
“What’s up?”
“Could you turn down the music a bit? I’m trying to sleep.”
“Oh? Is that so? I didn’t notice, sorry about that.”
She said she was sorry, but there wasn’t a hint of regret on her face.
This kind of subtle harassment is the most annoying.
With no solid evidence, I couldn’t really do anything about it.
But am I Lin Xi someone who just lets things slide?
Just wait and see.
I pulled out my phone and activated the recording function.
Next time, I’ll catch you red-handed.
