On the other hand in the Ming university, Qi Qing furiously stormed inside her dormitory as she banged the door close behind her. At this moment her head was filled with the images of Xua Ying Yue and Zou Zeming together. Every time the images of those two flashed in her head, she wished she could rush ahead and tear Xua Ying Yue's face, what was even more hateful was that Zou Zeming actually helped that little bi*ch!
Why? Why did he have to stand up for her? Was she any prettier than her? The two of them were well-matched! And she was just as witty and quirky as any other girl in the class, compared to her, Xua Ying Yue was like a pole of ice who did not even know how to make guys smile! So why did he have to take her side? Just what did she have that she did not?
Like a child who lost his favourite toy, Qi Qing stomped on the ground. She hated Xua Ying Yue and she hated Zou Zeming for taking her side, Qi Qing couldn't help but sniffle slightly when she thought of how she made her feelings clearly known to Zou Zeming but the latter did not appreciate her affection for him.
" How can he be so dumb?" She questioned with an angry look on her face. " Why would he take her side instead of mine?"
Qi Qing was used to getting pampered by boys in her class, she was gentle, kind and amicable which was why everyone loved her. This was her first time seeing a man who did not appreciate her at all but the more she could not have him the more she was driven to not let any other woman have him either.
" Qing Qing, what are you doing here?" Fan Jiayi blamed Qi Qing for losing her calm like such but she still chased after her like a good friend. She hurried inside the dormitory and then came to a stop beside Qi Qing as she said in a concerned voice, " Qing Qing, I know that you are upset but you shouldn't pay attention to that girl. The fact that she was able to wash herself clean in front of Comrade Zou is enough to show just how sly she is… in the restaurant she was at fault as well but now…"
Fan Jiayi's eyes flashed as she saw Qi Qing's expression turning sombre and her lips quirked up. She was used to making use of Qi Qing to get what she wanted after all, compared to her Qi Qing was much more easily agitated and thus, she did not think twice before jumping the gun.
She raised her hand and then tentatively touched her forehead which was swollen and a dark glint flashed in her eyes as Fan Jiayi thought of how Xua Ying Yue was able to shirk responsibility after hitting them. Even though Qi Qing did not have any evidence, Fan Jiayi knew that she was right. Among everyone they know, only Xua Ying Yue had a grudge against them and unlike Jia Lu Li, she was petty and vengeful.
Thus, she was just as unwilling to let Xua Ying Yue go but after getting taught a heavy lesson by Xua Ying Yue, Fan Jiayi was scared of getting close to her which was why she could only think of egging Qi Qing up that she will deal with Xua Ying Yue.
Sure enough, when Qi Qing heard Fan Jiayi's words her eyes glinted sharply as she sneered, " Surely, she cannot be left alone. This is the first time anyone dared to treat me like this … I cannot leave her alone without making her pay!" As she spoke Qi Qing raised her hand and then touched the lump on her forehead as she winced softly.
She only went after Xua Ying Yue's bag but that b*tch went ahead and smashed her head open, should she not suffer a little bit at least?
…..
Xua Ying Yue left the college and headed towards the urban village which had complicated roads. The sky was lit with an orange hue which illuminated the melting snow as she walked the half-frozen snow under her feet crumbled softly, as she arrived at the small bridge which was located at the end of the city, Xua Ying Yue paused and looked at the crowd of six to seven adults with a few children who were watching something. It was unknown what they were looking at but Xua Ying Yue could hear the occasional sighs of frustration and cheerful jeers as something happened.
It did not pique Xua Ying Yue's interest at all but something else did which was why she pulled the strap of her bag and then walked towards the crowd which was looking at the happenings in front of them with happy smiles on their faces.
Xua Ying Yue glanced at the young boy of seven or six years old who was watching a dark and skinny man who was squatting on the ground with grand curiosity. It was clear that the little guy had no idea what was going on but he was very interested in the hustle and bustle, Xua Ying Yue blinked her eyes and then turned to look at the dark-skinned man as well who was holding a bunch of coins in his hands and then with a clean sweep of his hand which no one caught, he threw the coins under the small bowl on the neatly stacked wooden box which was placed on wooden blocks.
Then the people who were surrounding him suddenly started to place money in a big bowl as they cried fervently while placing bets.
" I will bet on six."
"I know it's seven."
"It's five you idiots!"
" Eight, eight, eight!"
" All right hands off the bowl if you are done placing your bet!"
" I place five!" The child who was sitting next to the wooden box also placed a note of five yuan and shouted causing Xua Ying Yue to raise her brows in surprise.
This little thing was actually placing bets?
