For a moment, no one in the dormitory could laugh, and Bai Aiwen stood up and walked over to Fan Xiaoxing: "Xiaoxing, I’m sorry, I..."
Fan Xiaoxing shook her head and spoke quietly: "It’s okay, if it can make everyone happy, I think it’s worth it."
Xinyan heard her say this at such a time and mentally gave Fan Xiaoxing a thumbs-up, thinking this person was worth befriending.
However, as soon as Fan Xiaoxing finished speaking, and for some reason, everyone, including Fan Xiaoxing, started laughing again.
Xinyan thought: Luckily, Jiang Peiqin moved that troublemaker Li Yutong and the schemer Xia Ruhui next door, otherwise, the dorm would not be this harmonious.
Meanwhile, Li Yutong, who was lying on the bed next door reading a book, heard the laughter from room 306 and cursed: "So uncultured, do they think this is their home?"
But after she said this, no one responded to her.
Ever since she clashed with Shen Xiaoyu, the six people from the German class isolated her and Xia Ruhui.
Even though they knew Shen Xiaoyu wasn’t entirely innocent, they were all in the same class, and coupled with Li Yutong’s tendency to be sarcastic, no one wanted to cause trouble for themselves.
So Xia Ruhui also suffered from the isolation.

As the days passed, the National Day performance and the newcomer event drew closer, and they ran into Qi Changping more frequently on the road.
However, they didn’t want to engage with him, and Qi Changping didn’t have a way to force them.
Nevertheless, Xinyan found it suspicious that Qi Changping seemed to have a dog’s nose, always able to find her and Jiang Peiqin no matter where they went.
Xinyan grew wary and didn’t hide her suspicions from Jiang Peiqin.
So, they played a little trick and discovered that Li Yutong was secretly informing Qi Changping.
This angered both of them.
Who would have thought that even after being moved to the next dorm, she would still cause trouble?
That day in their professional class, when the teacher called on Li Yutong, no one expected her to not only fail to answer the question but also respond incoherently.
Xinyan couldn’t help but look at Li Yutong curiously, thinking: She has no foundation, so how did she get into the Western Language Department?
The doubts in Xinyan’s mind grew larger.
It’s just that, as Xinyan said, Li Yutong is a troublemaker who seems oblivious to her own limitations.
Qi Changping, exhausted from trying every trick, still couldn’t manage to talk to Jiang Peiqin and Han Xinyan, leaving him quite upset.
Over the years, perhaps things have been too smooth for him, and he’s gotten a bit cocky.
He thought, since they were not giving him face, he would teach them a lesson.
That afternoon, the two of them left the school, planning to go to Qing University to find Jiang Peiqin’s friend, who lived in a large courtyard.
The weather was getting a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings, and just as her friend’s family sent something over, Jiang Peiqin’s aunt asked them to bring a jacket along.
But as they were walking back after picking up the jacket, they sensed something was off.
After exchanging a glance, they pretended to walk nonchalantly while observing the surroundings with their peripheral vision.
Both knew the other could defend themselves, so they weren’t panicked.
Jiang Peiqin, taking advantage of pretending to tie her shoelace, got a clear view of the people following them from behind.
When she stood up, she quietly said to Xinyan, "There are four people sneakily following us from behind."
Xinyan didn’t look back: "What do you want to do?"
