The sound of the faucet was incessant, and Yue Qingqing found it noisy, as did the others.
"If you keep this up, I'm going to tell the teacher," one said.
"It's so annoying, why waste water?" another complained.
The girls were all blaming the person who had turned on the tap—a girl surrounded in the middle.
She wore her hair in twin ponytails with an eerie expression on her face.
Her eyes trembled slightly, almost bulging out.
It seemed she was frightened of something.
Her hands were soaked in the sink, but it was unclear how long they had been there.
"I've said it several times, the teacher told us not to waste water," a girl muttered as she moved to turn off the tap.
But as she reached out, she was abruptly grasped by the twin-ponytailed girl.
Her five fingers, swollen and whitened from being in the water too long, clamped onto the girl's wrist like a vise.
In pain, the girl screamed, "Luo Jie, what are you doing? It's so cold! It hurts!"
