All Chapters of Minding My Own Business: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

When the instructor called Matt over, he gave Aurora one more look before he had to leave reluctantly.Aurora used this chance to ask me, "Wendy, I heard you and Matt went to high school together. Can I get his number?"Another of our roommates rolled her eyes. "Everyone in class knows Matt is Wendy's boyfriend. You're asking her right to her face? Are you trying to steal him right in front of her?"Aurora frowned a little as her eyes reddened. "That's not what I'm trying to say. I just heard Matt was the temporary class leader, so I wanted to...""I'll send it to you," I said.Aurora's eyes lit up and she quickly took out her phone.After I sent her his contact info, she smiled and took my arm. "Thank you, Wendy. You're so nice. We're good friends from now on."The tickle in my nose made me uncomfortable, and I pulled my arm away on instinct.Aurora was ready to act like she was hurt again, so I forced down my disgust and called out to Matt, who was walking up behind her. "Mat

"Aurora, will you marry me?" Matt asked Aurora on his knee with the ring extended. "I promise, I'll only love you for the rest of my life!"Aurora trembled with excitement, and sweat seeped through her sunscreen, spreading the fragrance through the air. "Yes!"The whole place went silent.Soon, someone cheered. The others began clapping here and there, their faces full of reluctance. From the corner of my eye, I saw the instructor's face turn pale. There were clear traces of sunscreen on his neck too!This was going to be fun.After a long while, the instructor interrupted them. Probably because he could not stand watching anymore. "Have you chosen the lead for tomorrow's march for your group?""No need for that. Aurora is going to lead, obviously!" Once Matt said that, the other guys immediately agreed. Although they were all jealous that Aurora had accepted Matt's proposal, they were strangely united on this.The instructor nodded in acknowledgment. "Then come with me. I'll go

Matt froze mid-scratch. He and the other guys turned around at the same time, and they realized that other guys were rotting too!Even the instructor's eyes had gone red. He gritted his teeth while scratching desperately at the corners of his mouth and his arms!A girl from our class nudged me. "Wendy, you and Aurora are best friends, right? And Matt is your ex-boyfriend? You must know something, right?""Is it a disease or something else? We just started freshman year. We can't die here!""Exactly, Wendy. My boyfriend's hand is rotting too. If you know anything, you have to tell us!"I deliberately sighed. "Actually, I'm not sure either... But I thought something was wrong just now. It seems like all the men whose skin is decaying had contact with Aurora.""Young men who had been in contact with Aurora?""John Smith! Didn't you say you had no interest in Aurora? Then what's this?! You hooked up with another woman behind my back!"John, whose wrist and back of his hand were rot

The students all gathered to watch. When the university's leaders all came out with dark expressions on their faces, Aurora's mother held her head high, as if she deserved the compensation.But one of the school leaders simply held up a medical report in front of everyone. "The hospital has finished with the investigation. Your daughter has used homemade sunscreen, and that sunscreen contained a fragrance that turned out to be toxic. She applied too much of it all over her body every day, and it caused large areas of her skin to rot over time."As for the other male students… Well, they were affected to various degrees because their skin came into contact with the sunscreen on her body."Aurora's parents' eyes widened in shock.Before they could react, the other parents grabbed them in fury. "So it was your daughter's sunscreen! You even brought us here to demand compensation! How shameless can you be?""Don't even think about running! Our children suffered so much pain! You'll pa
