228 Chapter 228. Disgusting Her
An Ye’s dry throat made her jealous of the water in Zhuang Xian’s hands and the backpack she was carrying!
She turned her head and looked at Zhuang Jie, who was hanging on her. She calmed down and pretended to be concerned, “Zhuang Jie, are you thirsty?”
Zhuang Jie subconsciously licked her dry lips. “I’m thirsty! But we must at least walk to where we would stay to have water to drink!”
An Ye smiled at Zhuang Jie and pointed at Zhuang Xian in front of her. She suggested with an unnatural expression, “Zhuang Xian brought a backpack, so there should be water inside. Why don’t you take a look?”
When Zhuang Jie heard An Ye’s suggestion, she almost immediately reacted. Her expression turned cold, and she said coldly, “Do you think she’ll give us water even if she has? Don’t be too naive, okay? Yesterday, she scolded and slandered you in front of everyone. Aren’t you angry at all?”
She snorted coldly and turned her face away stubbornly, “I won’t beg her anyway, don’t even think about it!”
An Ye swallowed her dry throat and suppressed the anger in her heart. She explained loudly, “Of course, we’re not begging her! We have money, so let’s see if we can buy a bottle from her at a high price!”
“With money? Aren’t you too naive about her? Is she someone who lacks money?” Zhuang Jie asked in confusion.
Seeing An Ye’s silent and slightly aggrieved expression, Zhuang Jie softened her tone. You’re just too kind and naive. Do you think everyone doesn’t hold grudges like you? Zhuang Xian is not a good person; let’s forget about her! There is water to drink when we get to our living quarters! I don’t believe the instructor can make us die of thirst and exhaustion!”
An Ye’s voice wasn’t soft when she made the suggestion. She even raised her voice on purpose. With Zhuang Jie’s voice, she had already achieved half her goal.
Of course, she knew that with their relationship with Zhuang Xian, Zhuang Xian would never give them the water, nor would she sell it. She just wanted to get her classmates, who were also thirsty like her, to notice Zhuang Xian!
Putting everything else aside, Zhuang Xian’s comfortable and relaxed behavior in front of these battered and exhausted classmates made her seem out of place.
Why did you have to be much more comfortable than the others when we were all on the same trip?
Her carefree and natural attitude would quickly cause the highly frustrated students to feel unfair and jealous!
They were not unreasonable. They just wanted to use the money they had to buy a bottle of water from her! How could Zhuang Xian not know what was good for her?
An Ye had read her classmates’ minds and devised this plan!
She looked at the people surrounding Zhuang Xian, and her eyes turned cold. She felt that since she couldn’t drink Zhuang Xian’s water, Zhuang Xian wouldn’t be able to drink to her heart’s content!
Even though this little scheme could not do anything to Zhuang Xian, it was not a bad idea to disgust her. An Ye thought about it and lowered her eyes, unwilling to accept this.
Seeing that An Ye was silent, Zhuang Jie thought that she had been too harsh and made An Ye unhappy. She turned to An Ye and asked softly, “Are you angry, Ye? Don’t be mad at me; look at Zhuang Xian; how could she help us? Even if one used their toes to think, they would know this was impossible! I know you want to drink water. Let’s endure it a little longer, okay?”
An Ye was speechless. Sometimes, she despised Zhuang Jie’s intelligence. How could she not understand such a simple logic? That wasn’t her real purpose at all!
However, no matter how speechless and helpless she was, Zhuang Jie was still a teammate that An Ye could not offend or abandon for the time being!
Whether it was for the 20 days of military training or for her to continue using Zhuang Jie’s name to get close to the Zhuang brothers, she needed to maintain a good relationship with Zhuang Jie.
She already had an enemy like Zhuang Xian, so she could not push Zhuang Jie away from her!
