My Roommate Stole Food and Packages, So I Sent Her to Prison

My roommate's food deliveries and packages were all stolen.

She therefore lived a life of eating luxury takeout and using expensive cosmetics every day.

She even smugly said: "Want to join in? You keep watch for me, and I'll treat you to good food and drinks!"

I refused her and advised her to stop.

But she didn't care, and was soon discovered by the school.

She thought I had reported her, held a grudge against me, and pushed me into the school's artificial pond, drowning me.

But then she turned around and, with my boyfriend, took the job offer that should have been mine and lived happily ever after.

I died with deep hatred, but unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes again.

I found myself reborn on the very day my roommate started stealing food deliveries.

Chapter 1

There was a noise at the dormitory door.

I watched my roommate Yang Jing walk in carrying a bag.

The moment she entered, a fragrance wafted through the air.

I stared thoughtfully at the bag in her hand, recalling that in my previous life, Yang Jing had told me she started stealing food deliveries from this very day.

The first delivery she stole was spicy hot pot.

Later, when she became bolder.

She specialized in stealing expensive-looking takeout, usually two or three portions at a time.

Fearing suspicion, she alternated between different dormitory buildings.

The neighboring international trade building had many wealthy students, so she often went there to stalk deliveries.

Often, she could be seen eating salmon sashimi, king crab rice bowls, etc.

Later, she wasn't satisfied with just satisfying her appetite.

She even started stealing packages.

Each time, she would steal many valuable packages.

Especially cosmetics, which filled an entire table.

In my previous life, I was puzzled.

With her monthly living allowance of just over a thousand yuan, where did she get the money to buy so many expensive cosmetics?

Until one time she asked to borrow my homework to copy.

Saying that to repay me, she wanted to share a "channel" with me to make money together.

Only then did I learn that her daily food deliveries were all stolen.

The clothes she wore, the cosmetics she used, the bags she carried.

None of it was bought legitimately.

Yet she felt no shame, proudly declaring: "Want to join in? You keep watch for me, and I'll treat you to good food and drinks!"

My values were completely shattered.

I had heard other classmates mention that their food deliveries and packages had gone missing.

I never expected that the thief stealing deliveries was sleeping in the bed next to mine.

At that time, I wondered why she would tell me this.

But she lifted her eyelids to examine me, saying with some disdain:

"I know you're a student on financial aid, but shouldn't you make yourself look a little better?"

"I see you're honest and hardworking, going out to part-time jobs every day. It must be tough. Why not follow me? You won't have to worry about food or drink during school."

Actually, she thought it was too risky to go stealing alone.

So she wanted me to accompany her, keeping watch for each other.

I immediately refused her.

But she threatened me: "Those who know have a share! If you dare tell anyone, I'll say you stole too, and you can forget about your scholarship!"

At that time, I was soft-natured and was indeed intimidated by her threat.

I kept quiet like a quail, not daring to make a peep.

Thinking of my miserable fate in my previous life.

I secretly reminded myself not to be so foolish this time around.

Since she loved eating free food so much.

Then next, I might as well send her to eat free food in prison!

Chapter 2

Yang Jing saw me staring at her delivery.

She looked at me warily and said protectively:

"What, if you're hungry, go buy your own food. This is mine."

She pulled out a chair and opened the delivery.

The entire dormitory was instantly filled with fragrance.

I leaned over to her and glanced at the contents of the delivery box.

It was indeed spicy hot pot.

I deliberately took a deep breath, pretending to be famished:

"Yang Jing, which restaurant did you order this from? It smells so good!"

Yang Jing's expression was somewhat unnatural:

"Just ordered randomly on Meituan. If you want some, order it yourself."

She wanted to shoo me away, but I quickly snatched the delivery receipt.

"But why does it say Zhang Yongqi's name on here?"

Yang Jing immediately exploded, snatching the receipt and crumpling it into a ball.

"That's my best friend! Can't she order food for me!"

I smiled and said: "Of course she can. Why are you so angry? I didn't say..."

I leaned close to her ear and whispered: "...that you stole it."

Watching her like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on.

I returned to my seat and said with a grin:

"Just kidding with you!"

In my previous life, after Yang Jing was discovered stealing food deliveries and packages.

She stuffed all the stolen things into my cabinet.

When the counselor came to inspect, it was a case of being caught red-handed.

But she wiped her tears and said pitifully: "Bai Youning always cried to me about how poor her family was, how she couldn't afford enough food, clothes, or cosmetics. I took pity and helped her steal something once."

"Everything else was stolen by her herself. I never touched any of it. It's all in her cabinet."

"It's all my fault for being too soft-hearted. I should have told the teacher immediately."

Because the school had frequent incidents of missing packages and food deliveries.

CCTV cameras were later installed.

Right after they were installed, they captured Yang Jing stealing a delivery.

Unexpectedly, when I wasn't around, she secretly framed me.

One of our dorm mates had taken a leave of absence, another had moved out.

Only Yang Jing and I were left.

So there was no one to testify for me.

The school gave each of us a demerit.

Yang Jing could no longer steal, and her quality of life severely declined.

She suspected I had suggested the school install the cameras and blamed everything on me.

After I received a job offer from a good company, she invited me to the lakeside and pushed me into the artificial pond.

Thankfully, heaven gave me another chance.

This time, I would make Yang Jing pay the price for her actions!

I looked it up online—the consequences of stealing one food delivery weren't serious.

So I didn't plan to let Yang Jing be discovered so early.

That would be too easy on her.

Chapter 3

Yang Jing tested me a few times.

Thinking I hadn't discovered her, she began to grow bolder.

The deliveries she stole became more and more expensive.

Today seafood, tomorrow Japanese cuisine.

This day when I returned from the library, she was opening a king crab rice bowl, paired with red wine, watching a Korean drama.

She was living quite the carefree life.

Let alone an ordinary university student, even office workers who had just started their careers couldn't live as comfortably as her.

When she saw me return, she glanced over.

Seeing me holding a stack of books, she curled her lip:

"Good student, studying again?"

"I say, what's the use of reading so many books every day? Isn't your life still miserable? Not even one-tenth as comfortable as mine!"

I saw she had another large delivery box on her table.

It was a KFC family bucket, enough for four or five people.

"Eating so much by yourself, aren't you afraid of dying?"

I raised an eyebrow, somewhat mockingly.

But she snorted: "This is for my boyfriend. None of your business."

The delivery receipt on top had already been torn off.

Without thinking, this must have been stolen from some unlucky person's meal.

That evening, as the life minister, I had to check each dormitory.

When I reached room 401, I saw it was unusually lively.

Pushing open the door, several guys were eating fried chicken and drinking Coke.

Watching a soccer match at my boyfriend Deng Hai's desk.

As soon as I entered, Deng Hai saw me and immediately called out:

"Youning, come quickly, there's good food!"

As he spoke, he stuffed a chicken wing into my hand, while his own mouth was dripping with oil.

I looked at the packaging on his table and found it somewhat familiar.

Especially on the delivery bag, there was a #11 mark written in black marker.

Wasn't this from building #11, stolen by my roommate Yang Jing?

How did it end up at my boyfriend Deng Hai's table?

My heart skipped a beat.

I asked: "Where did you get this delivery?"

My boyfriend said nonchalantly: "A friend gave it to me."

"Which friend?"

Seeing me about to press for details, he also became somewhat angry.

"Who cares who gave it to me? The point is I have food to eat!"

Unexpectedly, Deng Hai's roommate said with a suggestive expression on his behalf:

"Who else could it be? An admirer!"

"You don't know how charming our Hai is. That classmate has been coming to our dormitory to bring him food every day."

"Today it's a family bucket, yesterday it was a Japanese platter. Quite expensive!"

Deng Hai was getting a bit high from the praise.

He looked at me proudly:

"See? Your boyfriend is this popular. You'd better treat me well, or someone else will steal me away!"

My eyes darkened.

So Yang Jing and Deng Hai had been in contact this early.

In my previous life, when I died, my soul floated in the air.

I personally watched Deng Hai give the job offer I had worked so hard for to Yang Jing, the murderer!

Simply because the HR manager was his relative.

How could I be willing to accept this!

And Yang Jing clearly knew Deng Hai was my boyfriend, yet she still tried to steal him.

Since that was the case, I wouldn't be merciful to this pair of scumbags.

I decided to teach them a lesson first.

Chapter 4

I walked out of the dormitory building.

I took a delivery receipt from my pocket.

It was one I had retrieved from the trash can today while Yang Jing wasn't paying attention.

I dialed the phone number left on the receipt.

During these days.

To collect evidence of Yang Jing's thefts.

I would secretly rummage through the trash can every time.

Collecting the delivery receipts she tore off.

This time was no exception.

I had originally planned to wait until Yang Jing had stolen a larger amount before reporting these pieces of evidence to the counselor.

But after seeing Deng Hai, I changed my mind.

Why should Yang Jing enjoy a good life for so long in two lifetimes of being a thief?

Since she dared to steal, she should be prepared to face immediate retribution.

And Deng Hai, who enjoyed the things Yang Jing offered.

Should face punishment along with her.

In nearly two months.

I had recorded twenty-nine food deliveries and twelve packages being stolen.

Now, it was time to collect some interest from Yang Jing.

I found out that the person whose KFC family bucket was stolen this time was a senior from the international finance program.

She was one year ahead of me and had been held back a year for fighting and failing courses.

I heard this Senior Chen had a fiery temper and knew quite a few people outside of school.

If she learned that her delivery had been stolen and was being used to curry favor with a man.

What would she do?

Chapter 5

The phone was quickly answered.

As soon as it connected, an unfriendly female voice came from the other end:

"Who is this? Why keep calling my phone!"

Sure enough, she sounded difficult to deal with.

I quickly explained the situation over the phone, and then heard several curses from the other end.

"Damn, that bastard dared to touch my things, making me wake up with nothing to eat..."

Senior Chen probably cursed for about ten minutes on the phone.

Before she finally stopped.

Only then did I have a chance to interject: "Tomorrow evening, the person who stole the delivery and the person who ate it will have a date in the plum grove behind the school gymnasium."

There was silence on the other end for a moment.

"What do you want me to do?"

I lowered my eyes: "I just can't stand what they're doing. Senior, if you want revenge, any method is fine."

The other side asked me again, "Do they have a grudge against you?"

I was silent for a moment, not choosing to hide it. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

"Well... they also stole my things."

My life.

And my future.

Upon hearing this, Senior Chen's sense of justice immediately exploded:

"Damn, they really are scumbags..."

Chapter 6

After returning to the dormitory, I deliberately made it seem like I was going to have a date with Deng Hai in the plum grove in front of Yang Jing.

After hearing this, Yang Jing said sourly: "We're already seniors. Aren't you preparing for interviews? How dare you still be dating?"

I pretended to be troubled: "I have no choice. Deng Hai failed his exam recently and is in a bad mood, so I invited him to the plum grove to cheer him up."

Yang Jing became even angrier after hearing this.

"I told you dating affects studies. If you keep clinging to him like this, how can he concentrate on reviewing?"

I sighed.

"What should I do? And the counselor asked me to help her organize materials tonight. To be honest, I don't want to go."

"But I don't dare stand him up."

Hearing this, Yang Jing saw her opportunity.

She took my hand and said: "How about this? You can go help the counselor tonight. I'll go tell Deng Hai for you."

I hesitated for a moment and pulled my hand back.

Somewhat awkwardly, I said: "This isn't right. Although you're my good friend, Deng Hai is still my boyfriend."

Yang Jing frowned: "What, you don't trust me?"

"Think about it. I'm your roommate. With me as witness, your boyfriend definitely won't blame you for standing him up."

In my previous life, I was completely love-struck.

After getting together with Deng Hai, I thought I finally had someone to love me.

So I treated him doubly well.

I gave him gifts during holidays.

Even the computer he used for gaming was bought by me after working part-time for half a year, gritting my teeth.

He often said to me:

"Your family is so poor. My parents have always opposed us being together."

"But I don't mind that you're poor. You can work too. In the future, we'll work hard together. Why worry about not having good days?"

I thought I had finally found someone to spend my life with.

I even worked to support him.

Just so he could proudly boast to his roommates about me:

"Look, this computer was given to me by my girlfriend. It was expensive, over ten thousand yuan!"

"My girlfriend isn't like those materialistic girls you all found. She never asks me for red envelopes. Things like 'the first cup of milk tea in autumn' are only asked for by immature girls."

At that time, I was actually proud.

Thinking I was neither materialistic nor dependent.

How foolish.

And this time, inviting Deng Hai out, although somewhat tricky, went smoothly.

Chapter 7

Deng Hai had indeed failed his course.

And he was indeed in a bad mood, preparing to play games all night with his roommates to vent.

When he learned I wanted to meet him.

He played the victim for a long time on WeChat.

In short, he failed his course and was in a bad mood.

If I wanted to meet, it was possible.

But I had to buy him the latest iPhone.

Of course, he generally wouldn't be so direct in asking for things.

This is how he said it:

[Baby, I'm really so sad. I studied so seriously, it's not like I failed on purpose.]

Following his lead, I replied: [Mmm, the teacher must have miscalculated the score.]

He sent a cute emoji.

Then sent me a voice message, deliberately using a affected tone:

[My roommate's girlfriend gave him the latest iPhone, and he even showed it off in front of me today. Baby is even more unhappy now!]

When I heard this voice message.

I almost threw up.

Before, when I heard him act this way, I only found it cute.

Now that I've removed the filter, I realize how disgusting this man truly is.

But to keep him stable.

I had to continue acting with him: [Baby, don't be sad. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you.]

He happily replied: [Baby is still the best. I'll definitely dress up nicely tonight. See you at the plum grove.]

This time, I learned my lesson and immediately converted the voice to text, afraid I might throw up again.

As for Senior Chen.

I sent her the time and location as well.

Chapter 8

Our school's plum grove is very secluded.

At night, almost no one goes there.

After telling Yang Jing I was going to find the counselor, I secretly hid behind the dormitory building.

Watching the time, Yang Jing indeed headed toward the plum grove.

To avoid suspicion.

I didn't follow.

Instead, I actually went to the counselor's office.

At the counselor's office, I helped organize materials until ten o'clock.

Then I returned to the dormitory.

Unexpectedly, Yang Jing hadn't returned yet.

I waited in the dormitory until one in the morning.

But first, I received a message from Senior Chen.

[Damn, let me tell you, your roommate is really something else!]

[Wait for the good show tomorrow.]

I was really curious about what she had done.

But given Senior Chen's temper, I didn't dare ask too much.

I tossed and turned in bed for a long time, not falling asleep until four or five in the morning.

I had just fallen asleep for a little while.

When I heard the dormitory door opening.

I immediately became alert and pulled back the bed curtain to look.

I saw Yang Jing returning in last night's clothes.

She hadn't even removed her makeup.

I was somewhat sleepy: "Yang Jing, where have you been all night? Why are you only coming back now?"

Yang Jing had a guilty expression on her face.

She didn't answer me.

Dragging her heavy feet, she went to the bathroom.

The sound of water trickled for nearly two hours before she finally came out.

By then, I had already bought breakfast and was eating.

I watched her come out with only a towel wrapped around her. Seeing me eating, she glared at me fiercely.

Her stare made me somewhat uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?"

I noticed she had red marks on her neck and arms.

I forced myself to stay calm.

Could it be that Senior Chen hit her?

I took a couple more looks.

Yang Jing shouted at me: "What are you looking at!"

As she spoke, she covered her body and climbed into bed.

My mind replayed the scene I had just witnessed.

Something felt increasingly wrong.

Those red marks didn't look like they were from being hit, but rather like...

I frowned, thinking.

She didn't come back all night. Could it be that she and Deng Hai... you know?

Chapter 9

I went to class as usual.

Yang Jing asked me to sign in for her, saying she needed to catch up on sleep and would come later.

When I arrived at the classroom, I found everyone gathered together, whispering.

I didn't know what they were discussing.

I had just sat down.

The classmate next to me looked at me and couldn't help but say:

"Are you and Yang Jing in the same dormitory?"

I nodded, somewhat confused.

They immediately stared at me gossipingly: "Then how is her health? Is she okay?"

The boys in the front row also lit up.

Joining in the excitement:

"I didn't expect, she has such a good figure."

Another girl next to me forwarded a video to me.

In the video was a girl and a man having sex.

And the female protagonist was precisely Yang Jing.

The other man was Deng Hai.

My mind went blank.

I stared at the video, unable to recover for a long time.

This video was now circulating on the internet.

Although the key parts were mosaic-censored.

Yang Jing had become completely infamous.

But clearly, Yang Jing and Deng Hai had been dating in the woods behind the school last night.

Yet the video background was a hotel.

Could it be AI-generated?

Was this the revenge Senior Chen had mentioned?

In my mind, I still thought the video was fake.

But the image of Yang Jing when she returned came to mind again.

She looked exhausted, clearly having not slept all night.

And those red marks on her body, no matter how I looked at them, seemed like those left after intimacy.

I secretly contacted Senior Chen.

She still spoke in her raspy voice:

"I'm telling you, your roommate not only likes to steal things, but I never expected her to be so wild in bed!"

"So I'm helping her out, making her famous!"

As she spoke, she sent a file to my WeChat.

"Take a look at this. There's even more explosive content."

Chapter 10

It turned out that after Senior Chen learned her delivery had been stolen.

She used her family connections to investigate Yang Jing.

Later, she discovered that Yang Jing had improper financial relationships with multiple men.

And the other man in the video was one of her sugar daddies.

Calling him a sugar daddy was actually calling him a creditor.

Yang Jing came from a poor family but had an inflated sense of vanity.

She refused to apply for financial aid but insisted on maintaining her middle-class persona.

She could only keep borrowing money.

Both openly and secretly, she borrowed from every platform she could.

Later, when she couldn't pay back, she could only go to hotels with her creditors to have sex to pay off the interest.

And she had more than one such creditor.

Senior Chen: "Last night, I had people watch them, but I found they were actually getting intimate in the plum grove."

Later, the two probably thought the plum grove was too easily discovered.

So they went to a hotel.

For this date, Yang Jing had specially worn sexy lingerie under her clothes.

When she took off her outer clothes, revealing the lace lingerie inside.

Deng Hai, who had never been with a woman before, had only seen such scenes in small videos.

His nose immediately started bleeding.

They were just about to get to the main event.

When the room door was knocked on.

The creditor had arrived.

Chapter 11

Senior Chen had originally invited the creditor to catch them in the act.

Unexpectedly, the creditor was into some hardcore stuff.

I'm not entirely clear what happened that night, but the video was circulated by the creditor.

I opened the file Senior Chen sent me.

Browsing through it, I was even more shocked.

These were actually records of Yang Jing's improper relationships with various men since starting university.

She even worked as a pimp to earn money.

Introducing younger female students to wealthy men as 1+2 companions.

For each introduction, she could take a commission.

The dirty money earned was also used to buy luxury goods and squandered away.

Of course, this money was certainly not enough to support her corrupt lifestyle.

When her living expenses were spent, she naturally had to go hungry.

Instead of thinking about working part-time to study.

She came up with the idea of stealing food deliveries.

Because the school's food deliveries weren't allowed to be delivered upstairs, with dedicated delivery lockers for storage.

And students usually didn't immediately go downstairs to retrieve their deliveries.

She would often disguise herself as picking up her own delivery.

Occasionally swiping one or two deliveries.

She wasn't completely without brains. Fearing the school would quickly suspect her.

She would go to other dormitory buildings to stalk deliveries in rotation.

Many of these deliveries were used to curry favor with Deng Hai.

And the reason she pursued Deng Hai.

Was because she learned that Deng Hai was the son of a wealthy family.

She attempted to latch onto Deng Hai to pay off her debts.

But from the files Senior Chen sent me.

I unexpectedly learned something.

Deng Hai's family background was actually fabricated!!!

Chapter 12

When I was with Deng Hai, I didn't know he was the son of a wealthy family.

Not long after we got together, Deng Hai suddenly told me that his parents opposed our relationship.

They wanted him to marry someone from a similar background.

But he, defying his family's opposition, resolutely stayed with me.

And was cut off from his living expenses.

At that time, I was extremely moved.

Even when my back hurt so much I thought I had a herniated disc, I didn't dare see a doctor, unwilling to spend the money.

But as long as he wanted something, no matter how expensive, I would grit my teeth and buy it.

And now I learned.

His so-called wealthy family identity was actually fabricated.

His parents had divorced when he was very young and didn't care about him at all.

Even his tuition was paid with student loans.

Reading through his entire background check.

I found that he and Yang Jing were exactly the same.

Despite poor economic conditions, they were vain and cared about face.

They claimed to everyone that their parents were doing business abroad, and the clothes and items they used were bought with money from loans.

Fearing others would look down on them.

When eating out, they would also insist on paying, even when it meant putting on a false front.

He even colluded with other roommates to isolate and bully financially disadvantaged students.

After learning the truth, I felt an inexplicable anger rise up.

I had been played for a fool by such a person.

After reading the files Senior Chen sent me.

I closed my eyes for a moment and exhaled.

Just as I was about to exit WeChat.

I discovered several unread messages on my phone.

They were all from Deng Hai.

Let's see what else he could say!

Chapter 13

I opened the pinned WeChat chat.

I saw that twenty minutes ago—

[Baby, that... have you seen it?]

Five minutes later—

[Ningning, no matter what you see, don't believe it!]

Seeing I didn't reply.

After a while, he sent another message—

[That video is AI-generated. Someone must be jealous of me and want to frame me!]

[You're getting angry with me over this kind of video?]

A few minutes later.

[Ningning, I'm sorry, I was forced. It's all that bitch Yang Jing's fault!]

[Ningning, talk to me. I know I was wrong.]

And the latest message was this man starting to panic—

[Bai Youning, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Let me tell you, your roommate understands romance much better than you do. If you didn't always keep me from touching you, would I have gone to a hotel?]

[When it comes down to it, this is all your fault! If I'm ruined, I won't let you off either!]

In less than half an hour.

He had fully demonstrated to me the ugliness of human nature.

I cursed him inwardly—he deserved it!

The video spread like wildfire.

Alarming the school.

Both parties involved were summoned to the counselor's office.

But before long, the class monitor came looking for me.

He looked at me with a complex expression: "The counselor said to go to her office now."

Chapter 14

My intuition told me things weren't simple.

Could it be that they knew I had found Senior Chen to deal with them?

I asked the class monitor somewhat nervously.

We usually had a good relationship.

He hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing to share some information with me on the way.

It turned out that after Yang Jing was summoned by the counselor.

She actually claimed that I had used AI to create the video to frame them.

When the counselor asked her, being classmates, what motive I would have for doing this.

She actually said: "Because I accidentally discovered her secret."

"Since the start of this semester, Bai Youning has been stealing classmates' food deliveries and packages. I caught her."

"She's afraid of being exposed, so she wants revenge."

"Deng Hai knows about this too."

Chapter 15

The matter of stealing food deliveries.

I hadn't even reported it yet, but Yang Jing was already turning things around.

I knew she just wanted to clear her name, drag me down, and divert the school's attention.

Of course, the school would prefer to believe the video was fake.

During this time, because the video was circulating online.

Our school, being a private institution, was mocked by many netizens as a new hotspot for prostitution.

The school's reputation was greatly affected.

Some shareholders even came forward to pressure the principal.

Demanding that he debunk the rumors and minimize the negative impact.

Pornography or theft?

Obviously, all shareholders hoped it was the latter.

If it were my previous life, completely unprepared.

I might very well have become the scapegoat.

But in this life, I would never let Yang Jing pin the label of food delivery thief on my head!

The class monitor and I rushed to the counselor's office.

Just in time to hear Deng Hai's words—

"After getting together with Bai Youning, she often brought me food deliveries, but she always tore off the receipts beforehand."

"These deliveries must have been stolen by her. Otherwise, how could a student on financial aid afford so much?"

I had indeed often brought him food deliveries.

Fearing he would feel burdened, I would specially tear off the receipts showing prices before giving them to him.

Usually, I only dared to eat budget meals. Afraid he would get sick, I would order more expensive deliveries for him.

Unexpectedly, this became his evidence for framing me as a thief.

Chapter 16

I took a deep breath.

I knocked on the door and entered the office.

Everyone inside looked at me.

Many teachers looked at me with strange expressions, as if to say:

This child, even stooping to stealing food deliveries.

In my previous life, when I was framed for stealing food deliveries, it was like this too.

The counselor, seeing I had arrived, recounted Yang Jing's accusations.

I had two crimes.

First, stealing classmates' food deliveries and packages.

Second, after being discovered, not only showing no remorse but fabricating fake videos to spread pornographic rumors about Yang Jing and Deng Hai.

I listened calmly and looked at Yang Jing.

"Where's the evidence?"

Yang Jing's eyes darted around, her lips curling:

"You think I would speak without evidence?"

"The stolen deliveries and packages are all in your cabinet. If we look now, we'll definitely find them."

My body froze.

This sentence sounded eerily familiar.

In my previous life, she had said the exact same thing.

And afterward, they indeed found those things she mentioned in my cabinet.

I couldn't defend myself and was therefore given a major demerit, my scholarship was canceled, and I nearly got expelled.

The counselor looked at us and led our group toward the dormitory.

Fearing I would destroy the evidence.

Yang Jing and Deng Hai flanked me on both sides.

Leaving me no chance to escape.

Chapter 17

When we reached the dormitory.

Yang Jing knew exactly where she was going, walking directly toward my bunk.

Our dormitory had the style of beds with desks underneath, with cabinets below the beds.

She pulled open the cabinet door.

The mountain of delivery boxes inside tumbled to the floor.

There was also a bag of uneaten food delivery.

The soup splashed, wetting the counselor's pants.

She was startled.

Her expression grew darker and darker.

Yang Jing looked confident, arms crossed: "Well? Caught red-handed. What do you have to say now?"

I looked at her coldly.

"That's right, these are indeed stolen packages and food deliveries."

Others were shocked to see me admit.

After all, in outsiders' eyes, I didn't seem like that kind of person.

The class monitor picked up a package from the floor. Seeing the name on it, he said in disbelief:

"I thought my package was lost. I even called to curse out the delivery driver. I didn't expect it was stolen by you!"

Other classmates hiding by the door watching the excitement also squeezed in.

Many packages were claimed by them.

This time, to frame me, Yang Jing had stolen packages from students in our building.

Everyone grew more and more agitated.

Demanding that the counselor punish me.

Seeing that enough people had gathered, I finally spoke:

"These packages are indeed stolen, but I didn't steal them."

I walked through the crowd toward Yang Jing.

"Since the start of this semester, Yang Jing has been stealing food deliveries, and later packages. These were also stolen by her."

Yang Jing's face changed.

She said stubbornly: "Ridiculous. The items were found in your wardrobe. What does that have to do with me?"

I sneered.

"I knew you wouldn't admit it, so I've been collecting evidence all along."

I opened the monitoring software on my phone.

And pulled up the video.

"Because the cabinet lock was broken, I was afraid valuables stored inside would be lost, so I installed a mini camera after school started to ensure my property was safe."

Hearing this, Yang Jing's face changed dramatically, and she rushed forward to grab my phone.

But I had already pulled up the monitoring video.

The video showed.

At 2:11 PM, Yang Jing opened my wardrobe and stuffed delivery boxes and food packages into it one by one.

I held up my phone and challenged Yang Jing:

"The evidence is conclusive. What else do you have to say!"

Those who had their packages stolen immediately grabbed Yang Jing, demanding an explanation.

Yang Jing looked utterly defeated.

She kept muttering: "How is this possible? This isn't like last time."

As she spoke, she glared at me angrily: "How could you have installed a camera in advance!"

I met her eyes.

Finally confirming that Yang Jing had also been reborn.

Chapter 18

No wonder Yang Jing dared to expose the food delivery theft at this time.

Because in my previous life, she had successfully framed me this way.

But it seemed she didn't know.

I had also been reborn.

With the exposure, everyone was emotionally agitated.

Yang Jing had a sudden inspiration and said with tears in her eyes:

"That's right, I did take these things, but I had no other choice."

"Bai Youning had been stealing food deliveries and packages before. When I caught her once, she wanted me to join her."

"After I refused, who would have thought she would hold a grudge and create that AI-generated video to frame me."

"I was forced by her and, lacking evidence, could only strike first by taking some classmates' packages and stuffing them into her wardrobe."

She looked at Deng Hai, who immediately understood her meaning.

"That's right. Before, when Bai Youning was stealing deliveries, she wanted me to keep watch for her. I sternly refused her."

"We've been arguing about this frequently lately, so she simply created that video to get revenge on us."

Were they certain there were no cameras near the delivery lockers and package areas?

That was true.

In my previous life, at this time, the cameras indeed hadn't been installed yet.

But to prevent this situation.

I had already prepared a backup plan.

I opened the laptop on my desk and pulled up the files I had prepared in advance.

"September 5th, Yang Jing stole Zhang Yongqi's spicy hot pot from the neighboring class."

Zhang Yongqi happened to be present.

Hearing her name, she immediately raised her hand: "I did lose a spicy hot pot on the first day of school."

Yang Jing grew even more agitated, scolding me: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I steal it!"

To convince her completely.

I clicked on the video attached below this line of text.

It was one I had secretly recorded with my phone.

Yang Jing's dormitory was right next to mine. Every time she returned to eat in the dorm, I would film and save some evidence.

On the day she stole the spicy hot pot.

I had put my phone in my sleeve, with only the camera exposed.

In the video, Yang Jing could clearly be seen eating the spicy hot pot.

I held up the receipt and asked her why it had Zhang Yongqi's name on it.

But Yang Jing said: "That's my best friend. Can't she order food for me!"

I paused the video.

Turned to ask the student who had raised her hand: "Excuse me, are you Yang Jing's best friend?"

Zhang Yongqi immediately spat.

"Who would be best friends with a traitor like that!"

Yang Jing's face turned pale.

Still not giving up, she tried to argue: "I just took the wrong delivery that day. That was the only time."

But today.

I didn't intend to let her off easily.

Next, Yang Jing, just wait to receive my hammer of justice!

Chapter 19

"September 10th, Yang Jing stole Chen Ji's roasted pancakes from 5th floor, building 5."

"September 13th, Yang Jing stole Huang's Liuzhou river snail noodles from 2nd floor, building 5."

"September 15th, Yang Jing stole Zhang's Lanzhou ramen from 3rd floor, building 8."

"..."

"October 23rd, Yang Jing stole Senior Chen's KFC family bucket from 3rd floor, building 11."

"Also on October 23rd, Yang Jing stole Yao Huilan's king crab rice bowl from 5th floor, building 12."

Underneath each entry, I had attached video or audio evidence.

Yang Jing couldn't deny it even if she wanted to.

Yao Huilan happened to be present and said angrily: "That delivery was 180 yuan. Pay me back!"

Yang Jing clearly hadn't expected me to be so well-prepared.

She somewhat broke down: "Bai Youning, are you sick? Can't stand to see others doing well?"

I smiled back at her: "That's right. I can't stand to see you living well on stolen things."

"Don't worry, there's more."

"September 15th, Yang Jing stole Zhao's La Mer from 6th floor, building 6."

"..."

"October 28th, Yang Jing stole Li Fang's SKII set from 3rd floor, building 11."

I listed the food deliveries and packages she had stolen in chronological order.

It was clear.

The frequency of her thefts was increasing, and the value was getting higher and higher.

Everyone was shocked.

The total value of these items would definitely be enough for Yang Jing to drink tea at the police station.

I looked at Deng Hai, who was preparing to run.

"And I remember, many of these things were given by Yang Jing to Deng Hai."

Chapter 20

With my reminder.

Yang Jing immediately came to her senses.

She grabbed Deng Hai and said: "That's right. Most of these things I took went into his pocket. If you want compensation, go to him!"

Deng Hai, seeing her drag him down.

Backhanded her and slapped her.

"Clearly you're the thief. What does that have to do with me? I didn't know!"

The two started fighting in front of everyone.

Yang Jing knew she couldn't escape.

So she began to play the victim.

Apologizing to those she had stolen from: "I'm sorry. Give me another chance. I really did it because my family is too poor and I had no money for food, so I lost my mind."

She was crying and snotting all over the place.

Plus the bruises on her face from being slapped by Deng Hai.

Some students began to soften.

But even if they were willing to forgive her, I wasn't!

After all, in my previous life, she had taken my life!

"I've already called the police. If anyone wants compensation, you can go give statements together."

Hearing that I had actually called the police.

Yang Jing was so angry she wanted to eat me alive.

The counselor also looked disapproving: "Stealing food deliveries is bad, but is it really necessary to call the police?"

I knew everyone's attention was now on the theft issue.

But they had forgotten another, more serious matter.

"Teacher, Yang Jing is suspected of prostitution and organizing prostitution. Deng Hai is suspected of bullying and assaulting classmates. Surely the school won't condone such illegal and criminal behavior?"

This statement.

The discussion among students became even more intense.

And Yang Jing's gaze toward me grew increasingly venomous.

In her emotional agitation, she directly picked up a pair of scissors and stabbed toward me.

Screams erupted from the crowd.

Suddenly, police sirens sounded.

Several tall male students immediately restrained Yang Jing.

The moment the police officers arrived.

The nerves I had been holding taut finally relaxed.

Only then did I realize I was covered in sweat.

Chapter 21

I submitted the evidence Senior Chen had sent me to the police.

Both Yang Jing and Deng Hai were expelled from the school.

Deng Hai was detained, while Yang Jing went to prison to operate the sewing machine.

Now she wouldn't need to steal food deliveries—in prison, she would have free meals.

Both were left with criminal records.

With graduation approaching.

After the thesis defense, I received the honor of outstanding graduate and took the stage at the graduation ceremony.

In my previous life.

On this very day.

I had been tricked by Yang Jing to the artificial pond.

She had disguised it as an accidental fall, and I lost my life.

But now.

I had received a job offer from a major company. The life that belonged to me in this lifetime.

Had only just begun.

During this time.

Deng Hai kept trying to contact me.

He even waited for me at the school gate, kneeling before me, begging to get back together.

At that moment, he had abandoned the pride he valued so much.

Watching him kneel on the ground, looking at me with pleading eyes.

I raised my hand.

And slapped him hard across the face.

Then walked away without looking back.

A person's energy is limited.

Stay far away from toxic people and toxic matters.

Don't let them drain your vitality and affect your fortune.

Cut your losses in time.

It's not too late.

Chapter 22

Five years later, I was promoted from management trainee to become the company's top executive.

The school was organizing its annual class reunion.

The class monitor said I hadn't attended for four consecutive years and that I absolutely had to go this time.

At the reunion.

I saw many old classmates, including Senior Chen, whose food delivery had been stolen back then.

When she saw me, her eyes lit up.

"I heard you're doing very well now. Are you interested in coming to work at my father's company?"

I knew Senior Chen's company was our company's competitor.

I politely declined her offer.

Senior Chen said with regret: "What a pity. That food delivery incident is still talked about at school. You handled it so beautifully!"

I gave a noncommittal response.

Senior Chen then secretly told me: "Do you know Deng Hai and Yang Jing are getting married?"

I wasn't very surprised.

After all, it wasn't just one or two days that Yang Jing liked Deng Hai.

"Yang Jing was sentenced to five years. She just got out recently and went to find Deng Hai."

"But Deng Hai had already gotten involved with a factory girl. Yang Jing, in her anger, castrated him."

"Which woman would want him now? Deng Hai had no choice but to marry Yang Jing."

I felt somewhat sentimental.

But also somewhat satisfied.

Let these two stay entangled with each other, saving others from their harm.

Chapter 23

At the reunion, Senior Chen added me on WeChat.

Afterward, she didn't succeed in poaching me to her company.

But we became good friends.

One night.

Senior Chen called me.

Startling me awake from under my covers.

She still had that coarse voice: "Quick, look at the class group. Something happened!"

I opened the class group I hadn't looked at in a long time.

I saw the class monitor had forwarded a news story in the group.

A woman cheated, was caught by her husband.

The husband strangled his wife to death on the spot.

Then was killed in turn by the mistress.

The woman and man involved were both people we knew.

They were the newlywed Yang Jing and Deng Hai.

Senior Chen told me: "I heard she cheated because Deng Hai couldn't perform. Before she died, she didn't struggle much, just kept saying she would come back."

"She thinks she's the Big Bad Wolf or something, that she'll come back."

Only I understood the meaning of these words.

Yang Jing thought that after she died, she could start another life and be reborn.

But who could know.

Whether there would even be another life?

I only hope that in this life, I will cherish every step.
