When Lu Xingzhi was cornered by Liu Xinran and Zhu Keying, Luo Qingchen and Xue Bei happened to pass by.
"Qingchen, it looks like Little Zhi Liao is being bullied."
As soon as he heard those three words, Luo Qingchen instinctively looked over and walked towards them.
"Lu, Xinran is in the wrong, but didn’t I already apologize on her behalf? How can you scare her !" Zhu Keying said righteously, "She was just standing up for me. If there’s anything wrong, can I apologize to you?"
"What’s happening here?" Xue Bei’s voice carried a hint of amusement.
"Senior Bei, Senior Qingchen." When Zhu Keying saw Luo Qingchen, her eyes obviously showed admiration and some shyness.
While Liu Xinran clearly had a liking for Xue Bei, after greeting him, her eyes were almost glued to him.
Luo Qingchen didn’t respond to them, instead, he asked Lu Xingzhi, "Little Zhi Liao, did something happen?"
"I’d like to know too." Lu Xingzhi said angrily.
Ke Yanchu, who was the most tactful, quickly stood out, "Senior Qingchen, here’s the thing. We were walking down the road with Little Zhi Liao, and these two suddenly came out and started scolding her. Little Zhi Liao doesn’t know them, and they cursed her because of that. Little Zhi Liao didn’t even want to pay attention to them, yet they had to block her way and not let her go."
"Senior Qingchen, don’t listen to her nonsense. I just said that Lu Xingzhi is pretentious, she didn’t even recognize Keying. Keying is number one on the school flower list. She says she doesn’t know her, who would believe that!"
Liu Xinran said, thinking she was being candid: "I just can’t stand people praising her to the skies, like she’s some fairy. Keying is way prettier than her, beautiful, kind-hearted, with a good family background, and low-key. Unlike her, just like a peacock showing off after entering school. What’s there to be proud of! As a senior, I’m teaching her the principles of life."
Zhu Keying blushed as she glanced at Luo Qingchen, shyly saying, "Xinran, stop it. I’m not as good as you say, I don’t care about any school flower rankings."
Lu Xingzhi clapped for the two of them, expressionless, said, "Very impressive, the neighboring school is the film academy, I’m sure the entire student body will welcome you two. By then, you can continue your performance."
Lu Xingzhi didn’t know who they were, nor did she want to know. Anyway, she had encountered more than just these two weirdos since she came to Beijing.
"Pfft!!" Xue Bei didn’t expect it to be such a bizarre situation.
Lu Xingzhi was the epitome of being caught in the crossfire while lying down.
He tried to hold it in but couldn’t maintain his sunny, humorous senior persona, burst out laughing: "Ah hahaha..."
Seeing him laugh, the onlookers naturally couldn’t control their emotions any longer.
"Come on, I’ll treat you to something delicious." Not wanting to deal with these people, Lu Xingzhi said to her three roommates.
Only a good meal could soothe her restless mood now.
She finally understood the feeling of a scholar meeting a soldier.
"I never knew what a bootlicker meant before, today I finally witnessed it. To the point of saying only a blind person would think Little Zhi Liao is prettier than this top school flower. Saying such unconscionable things, impressive." Before leaving, Xiong Yali left with this remark.
