Han Shuya felt utterly humiliated after this defeat. She wanted Lu Yan Shu to feel the same humiliation as she did. Even before the beauty contest results were out, she already used to act tall and mighty, a behavior that worsened after the defeat. She couldn't accept being the runner-up.
People ridiculed her behind her back for acting as if she had won, fueling her hatred against Yan Shu.
From that day onward, Han Shuya would always try to make things difficult for him whenever she bumped into her by blocking her path. Everyone else saw these actions as petty and childish. She even made a scene in front of Yan Shu when the results are out.
But whereas Han Shuya was hysterical and unreasonable, Yan Shu remained calm and composed, simply brushing her off.
After that, the Han Shuya who loved to be in the spotlights started to be ignored.
********
Lu Yan Shu cursed her bad luck after noticing who had bumped into her. First, her brother called her as she was about to enter the canteen, and now this bitch wanted to create trouble for her as she was about to leave the canteen.
Maybe the canteen was the problem. A place that served so many tasty, and high-calorie foods couldn't be good. She made a mental note to be careful around this place that too mainly at the entrance.
Han Shuya had a smirk plastered on her face, and her lackeys stood behind her with a similar expression.
Yan Shu wasn't in the mood to argue, so she grabbed Song Yun's hand and attempted to leave the hyenas behind.
"What's wrong Campus Beauty?" Xia Heru, one of the lackeys asked. "Are you leaving without even talking to us? That title went to your head."
"What Campus Beauty? She can't even afford to buy good clothes." Lin Chao, another lackey, added.
"Don't be like that Chaochao. How could an orphan have anything but cheap clothes to wear? She even had to get a part-time job to pay for her food." Ji Men completed the trio of clowns.
"That's so pitiful. Yan Shu, we could donate some of our old clothes to you." Xia Heru spoke with a fake smile. "We all came from wealthy families, so it would make no difference for us. Don't be shy and just ask."
"Stop acting nice towards her," Han Shuya finally spoke. "Even looking like that, this country bumpkin managed to snatch my Campus Beauty title. Who knows what kind of shady deals there were behind the scenes? She must have had a lot of experience working on her knees." She made an obscene gesture of bringing a closed hand near her mouth while her tongue pushed against the cheek.
Yan Shu gripped Song Yun's wrist to stop her from attacking. She maintained her poker face and said, "If you're done with your praises, then please stop blocking my way. Different from you, I actually need to work and study for a living."
Han Shuya gritted her teeth, but Yan Shu simply didn't care. She dragged Song Yun out of the canteen, leaving the pack of hyenas by themselves.
"Why did you stop me?" Song Yun argued while Yan Shu continued to pull her. "I was about to give those bitches a lesson they wouldn't forget."
"Why should we care about what they say? They aren't worth our time. Now stop complaining and hurry up, or we'll be late for class." Yan Shu kept pulling her friend along.
They reached their class on the second floor and sat down a moment before the bell started ringing. Soon after, the teacher entered the room.
When the bell rang again they left, had lunch on the canteen — Without any incidents this time — and headed back towards their afternoon classes. When it was over, they headed home.
