The five girls from the dormitory looked at Ye Jian with eyes full of stars... That basketball smack, that bloody face, that strength.
Li Qian was about to pass Ye Jian her books when she saw her hands and asked softly, “Does... does it hurt? Do you want to go back to the dormitory and soak your hands in warm water?”
It did... After all, it was a basketball, not a volleyball.
“It’s okay. I didn’t have any other thoughts when I hit the ball. I only wanted to return it. I didn’t expect him to bleed.” Ye Jian explained with a smile and received her textbook. She then saw Ye Ying and another girl walking over with a dark face from the corner of her eyes.
It was already dark and the street lights were already on. The glowing lights shone on their faces, and their faces were dark, as though there was a layer of dirt that could not be removed.
The basketball court was at the corner of the school and there were not many street lights around on both sides. Both Ye Ying and Yao Jing seemed to have something on their minds and didn’t notice Ye Jian and her friends who were standing in the dark.
“Ye Ying, I didn’t expect your sister to be so capable. Why didn’t you tell me in advance?” Yao Jing walked fast and her eyes had a tinge of annoyance.
Why can’t you even do such a thing? In the end, Yang Heng has to clean up the mess!
Upon hearing this, Ye Ying was exasperated. You caused this yourself and now you’re telling me I didn’t tell you? What should I tell you? I disagreed with this!
“I didn’t tell you? I didn’t agree to this at that time, Yang Heng disagreed too!” Ye Ying had always given in to Yao Jing, but she was not going to do that this time around for what happened today. Otherwise, Yao Jing would push her luck!
Yao Jing stopped in her tracks and turned around. She stared at Ye Ying and sneered, “Oh, so you mean it’s my fault now? Is it my fault? I was just standing up for you! You’re the one that told us that your sister bullied you! If you didn’t say anything, would I have stood up for you?”
In short, it was always the fault of others and it had nothing to do with her!
Even if she was wrong, there would be thousands of reasons to explain herself. Eventually, it will be someone else’s fault. If the others didn’t do this, she wouldn’t have done this.
‘If... she wouldn’t have...’ That was her formula and template for making excuses for herself, and she could use it for anything and everything.
Ye Ying suddenly felt that there was something off about Yao Jing... She couldn’t tell what was wrong. A dim light flashed across her eyes as she carefully probed, “Don’t you know Yao Heng well? Would he have agreed to this in the past?”
“Didn’t you see it just now?” Yao Jing was fuming and was not paying attention, allowing Ye Ying to get a hint of what’s going on. “We’ve been in the same school since young. He has always disliked doing these kinds of things. It’s normal for him to stop us.”
Suddenly, Ye Ying finally understood why Yao Jing had been treating her differently. It turned out that... she liked Yang Heng.
She puckered her lips and smiled, “Look at you, you know him so well and yet you talk to Luo Ran about this in front of him. I’ll explain to Yang Heng when he comes out. I’ll tell him that I asked you to get Luo Ran to stand up for me and help me out.”
“You should have done that just now!” Yao Jing gave her a glance and her mood got better instantly. She pulled Ye Ying’s arm and raised her chin slightly. “I know you’re the best. Don’t worry. Yang Heng will definitely write you a love letter soon!”
