Campus Belle Loser, Doraemon

A massive Black Tombstone fell from the sky, crushing the desperately running and crying crowd, blood and severed limbs splattered, despair and fear spreading...

This is a world mired in despair.

Forgetting her past, forgetting her name, forgetting everything about herself... the Girl rummages aimlessly for food amidst the ruins, hiding in panic among the jungle of tombstones.

It wasn't until the tombstone bearing her name fell from the sky that the Girl found her past in the name engraved on it. A faint white light emerged from the darkness and silently entered her body.

The moment the boundless darkness descended, the Girl suddenly woke up from her Nightmare, sitting up in bed, gasping for breath.

"Where... am I?"

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, the unfamiliar tables and chairs, and the unfamiliar room, the Girl's mind went blank for a moment. After a while, those distant memories began to flow back into her mind.

"I must have been in a hotel before... Wait, I'm a Player now!?"

Realizing what had suddenly appeared in her mind, Lin Xiaoyi's eyes lit up. However, this was quickly followed by worry about the missing Xia Wen and a strong feeling of hunger rising in her stomach.

Perhaps because of the previous Nightmare, she was covered in sweat, her long, smooth black hair that reached her waist was disheveled, and her clothes clung tightly to her body, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Just as she was about to get out of bed and go out to check the situation, the door to the room was pushed open, and Xia Wen walked in from outside, carrying two buckets of instant noodles and biting two forks in his mouth.

"... Xiao Wen?"

Seeing Xia Wen appear before her in this state, Lin Xiaoyi was quite taken aback.

The reason is simple: the other person's current attire is just too outrageous.

Her long, smooth black hair was haphazardly tied into a ponytail at the back of her head. She wore a men's white shirt on top, and an incongruous pair of yellow beach shorts that barely reached her knees, along with a Number One of flip-flops that were clearly a size too big...

Although she usually looks like a slovenly homebody in the Dormitory, she's never dressed so... carefree before.

"Xiao Yi, you're awake? I knew you'd be awake soon. Here, hurry up and eat. We only have instant noodles to make do with now... Or why don't you go take a shower first?"

Xia Wen put the several buckets of instant noodles he was carrying on the table, hooked a chair over with his foot, and sat down.

"But there aren't any clean clothes here. I left all my luggage at the hotel, so I can only make do with that guy's clothes... But I've found most of the clothes I can wear, and they're all by the bathroom door. Go take a shower first; you're so uncomfortable being covered in sweat."

Before Lin Xiaoyi speak, Xia Wen dropped this long string of words in one breath, leaving the Campus Belle completely stunned.

"Wait, wait a minute, I haven't figured out what's going on yet..."

Slightly rubbing her forehead with one hand, Lin Xiaoyi waved to Xia Wen in front of her, her head a little sore.

"We are currently in..."

"At Bai Zhi's home, after we were able to make phone calls from the hotel, I asked him to come and rescue us. We've been sleeping for almost a day now."

While eating instant noodles, Xia Wen gave a rather vague answer to the Campus Belle's question.

"By the way, although now is your best chance to Walkthrough her over, unfortunately, I have something sad to tell you: Mu Qiansè has taken the lead over you... That's why I told you you shouldn't have told her that kind of thing back then. See what I said?"

Xia Wen looked at him with a face full of disappointment and frustration.

"And what did you do? You insisted on creating your own competitors. Now look what you've done, you've made a mess of things!"

"... I'm sorry, although I understand every word you said, I still didn't understand what you were saying."

The Campus Belle's lips twitched slightly.

"To put it another way, weren't we trapped in the hotel before?"

Rolling his eyes, Xia Wen stuffed a large piece of sausage into his mouth with his fork and began to speak, somewhat speechless.

"Then later, I carried you back to our original room. The phone could still be made from inside the room, so I called him for help. As for what happened next, it was naturally a classic case of Hero rescuing a damsel in distress. However, I also passed out later, perhaps because the hotel was extremely dangerous. Then he brought us both back together."

"So this is Bai Zhi's room? Then where was I sleeping just now...?"

Lin Xiaoyi's eyes widened in surprise.

"No, this is Mu Qiansè's room. You were sleeping in her bed just now."

Xia Wen ruthlessly shattered the other person's fantasy.

"This is indeed Bai Zhi's home, but Mu Qiansè moved in before us. So I've said it before, telling her the truth you finally discovered was just stupidly creating more competition for yourself."

"The person I admire is a true Hero, how could she be misunderstood... But she hasn't been living here for very long, has she?"

Her momentum inexplicably weakened by three points at first, but then the Campus Belle's fighting spirit was rekindled, and she looked confident.

"Maybe she was rescued like us, otherwise you wouldn't have temporarily borrowed Bai Zhi's clothes to wear. This means Mu Qiansè doesn't even have her own clothes here. And now I'm a Player, so I'm inherently superior to her..."

"Oh, to tell you the truth, the other person is actually already a Player, and they've even gone through several Dungeon together."

Xia Wen glanced at her and calmly interrupted Lin Xiaoyi.

"You're quite clever now, but why were you so stupid before? You can't back down when it comes to love. One wrong step leads to another. I think you're destined to be a loser."

"Wait, she's been Player for a while now!?"

Lin Xiaoyi was clearly deeply shaken and looked completely stunned.

"That's right, they've probably gotten back together by now, considering she's his ex-girlfriend. As for you, just give up. I don't think you have a chance."

Xia Wen looked disgusted.

"Anyway, I think they look like a married couple. What about you? You could say that..."

"Doraemon, help me!!"

Before Xia Wen could finish her disdainful remark, Lin Xiaoyi rushed towards her, hugged her, and began to cry.

"I don't want it..."

"So don't pounce on me when you're all sweaty and stinky!!"

Xia Wen's screams echoed from inside the room, lingering for three days.
