Chapter 58: The Scheming Woman’s Provocation
“Xiaoxiao, let’s go eat together.” Bai Qianqian wanted to lure Ye Chuxiao out and cheer her up.
Ye Chuxiao lowered her head slightly and said softly, “I told Senior Student Ziyi that I would go to the Design Studio to find him.”
“Oh, then you go find Senior Student Ziyi.” Bai Qianqian quickly said, as Senior Student Ziyi’s comfort was the most effective for Xiaoxiao right now.
Ye Chuxiao washed her face, changed her clothes, and then went out.
It was dinner time, and students were coming and going from the entrance of the girls’ dormitory. Ye Chuxiao walked with a faint expression.
“Oh my, Ye Chuxiao!”
Following a high-pitched voice, Ye Chuxiao was stopped.
Ye Chuxiao looked up, recognized the person, and out of politeness, softly greeted her, “Senior Student Shui.”
“Where is Junior Student Ye going?” Senior Student Shui’s voice was coquettish and charming, drawing the attention of the surrounding students.
“To eat.” Ye Chuxiao said simply. She had no connection or affection for Shui Birong, and this Senior Student Shui was full of malice towards her. Ye Chuxiao had no intention of talking to her.
“You’re not going to eat with Ziyi, are you?” Shui Birong’s peripheral vision swept over the surroundings. Seeing more and more students paying attention to them, she was secretly pleased, and a cold smile flickered across her lips, almost imperceptibly.
Shui Birong was clearly here to stir up trouble. Ye Chuxiao was in a bad mood and didn’t want to see her face. She wanted to bypass Shui Birong and leave.
However, Shui Birong shifted her position, still blocking Ye Chuxiao’s path.
“Junior Student Ye, why aren’t you responding?” Shui Birong said sarcastically. “Are you in a hurry to go complain to Ziyi? I heard your Advanced Mathematics grades were a failure! You got fifty-nine points, what a shame!”
At this moment, Ye Chuxiao didn’t understand why the surrounding students were so concerned about her Advanced Mathematics grades. The whispers filled with various implications reached her ears, as if they had already known she failed Advanced Mathematics!
Shui Birong’s public mention and everyone’s discussion made Ye Chuxiao even sadder.
Ye Chuxiao wanted to bypass Shui Birong and leave again.
However, Shui Birong still stood in front of Ye Chuxiao. She intended to use this opportunity to mock Ye Chuxiao and embarrass her!
“Junior Student Ye,” Shui Birong sneered, “Doesn’t Ziyi tutor you in Advanced Mathematics every day? You still failed. Have you ever considered if there’s a problem with your intelligence?”
The murmurs of the onlookers grew louder. Among them were girls who had a good impression of Lu Ziyi, or who secretly loved him. Shui Birong’s words ignited their extreme dissatisfaction and resentment—
“So stupid, getting tutored by Senior Student Ziyi and still failing!”
“Exactly, wasting Ziyi’s time.”
“She’s not paying attention at all, her heart is all focused on Ziyi!”
……
The more Ye Chuxiao was verbally abused, the more smug Shui Birong became.
Ye Chuxiao was sad, but she didn’t intend to tolerate Shui Birong’s provocations.
Her gentleness was only for those who were kind. Even a rabbit bites when cornered!
“Senior Student Shui,” Ye Chuxiao’s face showed no extra expression, “I failed Advanced Mathematics, it’s a problem with my intelligence. But as a senior student, you are here promoting this with such an attitude. Have you ever considered if there’s a problem with your… what kind of quotient?”
Ye Chuxiao had struck back! Shui Birong’s mocking expression stiffened. This seemingly weak and easily bullied brat was actually implying she had low emotional intelligence and character problems, wasn’t she?
