Zhao Mingyu was standing outside the courtyard on one foot with four small bags of rations in his hands. His other foot was suspended in mid-air. He didn't know if he should drop the foot down or retract it.
He happened to catch a glimpse of that foolish girl reaching out to grab the other girl.
To be honest, Wen Taohua looked like a defeated rooster who hadn't been thoroughly beaten, so she insisted on provoking another deadly fight before accepting her defeat.
As for the other newcomer, for some reason, her kick just now did not seem out of place in everyone's eyes. Instead, it gave people the feeling that this girl was energetic and valiant.
Moreover, although the little girl's waist was so skinny that he could almost hold her with one hand, her martial arts skills were top-notch!
Take for example the kick she had just delivered. It was fast, accurate, and ruthless. Her execution was clean and precise!
She looked rather attractive…
"!!!"
At the thought of this, Zhao Mingyu's face stiffened. He must not have not slept well after entering the mountains last night. That was why such strange thoughts were surfacing in his mind.
"That's right, that must be it!" He thought to himself.
In the next moment, Zhao Mingyu heard the girl's cold voice in the courtyard.
"Wen Taohua, I have really given you much leeway."
Gu An'an placed her hands behind her back and looked down at Wen Taohua, who was lying on the ground and sweating profusely from the pain. "It's one thing for you to speak sarcastically on the train these past few days, but when you got off the train, you framed me for no reason. I ignored you not because I was afraid of you, but because in my eyes, you are nothing!"
"Spending time on you is a complete waste of my life! Do you understand?"
"But if you continue to stir up trouble in front of me, I don't mind carrying you to the river for a good swim."
Her voice trailed off. In her icy tone, there was a hint of chilling dread that sent shivers down one's spine.
"You…"
When Wen Taohua met Gu An'an's cold and dark eyes, her throat suddenly froze.
Gu An'an gave her a cold smile and then turned around to face the stunned crowd. Her voice softened slightly as she spoke, "I apologize for the spectacle I've caused."
"This woman's brain isn't working well. She always likes to… well it's getting late, so I won't delay your resting time. We'll go back to the room and pack our luggages so that we can come out and make some food."
Halfway through her sentence, she deliberately smiled and paused. Then, she changed the topic and started talking about something else.
Song Hongxuan only came back to his senses when he heard the other party's voice. He quickly pointed to the room in front and said, "Okay, it's the room right in front. You guys go ahead and get busy. We won't be going in."
After saying this, he was just about to leave with the other educated youths.
But in the next second, he suddenly heard the voice of the little tyrant of the village coming from the entrance of the courtyard.
Zhao Mingyu cleared his throat and shouted at Song Hongxuan, "Hey, so you're all here. I have brought some food for the newbies. Hey, Comrade Song, can you take these?"
As he spoke, he stepped in with a bag of rations.
Looking at the person who walked in, Song Hongxuan's body stiffened reflexively. Then, he nodded. "Oh, okay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly walked down the steps towards the other party.
Song Hongxuan took the bag of grains from Zhao Mingyu and thanked him. "Thank you, Comrade Zhao."
Zhao Mingyu replied calmly, "It's fine." "Anyway, I didn't want to come."
If it weren't for the fact that the person at home had instructed him to come, he wouldn't have made this trip here.
He would rather chill at home.
Zhao Mingyu's gaze casually swept across the woman lying on the ground, he was filled with disdain for her. He quickly said, "I'll leave now," and turned to leave.
He walked briskly, taking two or three quick steps out of the courtyard, and then sped up as he headed towards home.
As Zhao Mingyu left, Song Hongxuan suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if the tension in the air had dissipated along with him.
He distributed the rations to the four new youths and turned to return to his dormitory.
Seeing this, the other youths also left. No one paid any attention to Wen Taohua, who was crying and making a fuss.
However, everyone was pondering over the unfinished words of Gu An'an. What did she mean by saying that there was something strange about Wen Taohua's behavior?
Indeed, her behavior earlier on was far from commendable and left a bad impression on everyone.
No matter what, everyone's good impression of Wen Taohua had completely disappeared because of her unreasonable behavior.
"Huang Dahai, can you help me up? My stomach hurts. I can't get up."
Wen Taohua was laying on the ground while clutching her stomach. Her face had turned quite pale from the pain. Seeing that the other youths had gone into their rooms and Huang Dahai was lagging behind, she quickly called out to him.
It would have been better if she hadn't shouted. Once she did, Huang Dahai became enraged as he recalled the incident at the train station. He turned around and glared at her with a dark expression. "Wen Taohua, I am showing you much kindness by not settling scores with you. How dare you ask me to help you up?"
As he spoke, he glared fiercely at Wen Taohua.
"I… I…"
Wen Taohua's face turned green and pale at his words. She said aggrievedly, "You can't solely blame me for what happened at the train station. I was also a victim myself."
If there was anyone to blame, it should be Gu An'an.
If not for the fact that she had suddenly become abnormal after getting off the train, none of the subsequent events would have occurred.
Hence, it was all Gu An'an's fault!
Huang Dahai yelled at her with an angry face, "I don't care if you're a victim or not. The fact is, you have implicated me and caused me to get scolded by everyone!"
"Also, no matter what you want to do in the future, don't come looking for me again. We are not even that close!"
After his outburst, he immediately went to the male dormitory with a dark expression.
Wen Taohua was so enraged by his words that she almost collapsed on the spot. She couldn't believe that such a minor grievance had caused Huang Dahai to completely turn his back on her.
Recalling everything that had happened today, a deep sense of hatred rose within her, taking root and growing into a towering tree of resentment. Its branches extended to every corner of her being, consuming her entirely.
Wen Taohua gritted her teeth to hide the anger and humiliation in her heart. Enduring the pain, she picked herself up from the ground. Then, she picked up her luggage and returned to Liu Xiaohui's dormitory with her head lowered.
Jiao Yu looked on as Wen Taohua limped into the room ahead. She couldn't help but let out a disdainful chuckle.
Then, she turned around and returned to the room. In a low voice, she spoke to Gu An'an, "Tsk tsk, I have to say, she really brought this upon herself! I mean, why couldn't she just move into the room without causing a big scene?"
Her actions have offended all the male and female educated youths. And the outcome? She still ended up moving into the large dormitory. What's the point of kicking up a big fuss?
