Another staff member next to her looked at Xu Jinglan with sympathy and relayed the aforementioned matters to her, ending with, "The dean of the Flight Academy has personally intervened and vowed to protect you to the death, so don’t worry too much."
Hearing this, Xu Jinglan gratefully expressed her thanks.
"No need to thank me," the staff member cursed under his breath with a heavy heart, "Damn the rectification order. What’s wrong with Military Academy Students fighting? Isn’t that normal? If Military Academy Students don’t fight, they’ll become hypocrites with no vigor whatsoever."
Although Xu Jinglan was more unfortunate than Lin Fu, she was treated much better.
Lin Fu was barefoot and wearing a bathrobe; she was taken straight to confinement without a word.
Xu Jinglan, on the other hand, was given a separate small room with a cup of fine black tea from the Vega System on the table, and the security staff also showed a lot of sympathy for her.
"Xu Jinglan, you have a visitor."
The door to the room was pushed open, and a brown-haired beauty walked in, whistling lewdly at Xu Jinglan as she entered, "Shh... isn’t this our heroine? Why the long face?"
If Lin Fu had been there, she would have recognized her as the one who had shouted about challenging her to a noble duel at the Cosmic Port.
She was also the one who had cursed Xu Jinglan, asking if she was even a woman.
When Lin Fu saw Xu Jinglan with He Shu in the dormitory, she mistakenly thought that He Shu was the person in question.
"Ye Fei, stop making fun of me," said Xu Jinglan with a heavy heart.
"Humph! You had it coming. I told you to keep your distance from He Shu, but you wouldn’t listen. Now you’ve been dragged down, haven’t you?" Ye Fei walked in, closed the door, and sat across from Xu Jinglan, scolding her incessantly.
"He Shu only brings trouble and involves those around her."
"The incident this time wasn’t her fault; it had nothing to do with her," Xu Jinglan stated factually. "I hit someone because I couldn’t tolerate the actions of Xia Youyou and Tang Xuefei, they provoked me, and He Shu was an innocent victim as well."
"Humph! Anyway, she always ends up being the innocent victim. Others are willing to live for her, die for her—enough already, right?"
Ye Fei, Xu Jinglan, and He Shu all came from the same place and knew each other’s affairs all too well.
Ye Fei particularly disliked He Shu, and He Shu would automatically avoid her.
"Don’t speak of He Shu like that, she’s already terrified of you, scared like a rabbit every time she sees you."
"Humph! That’s because she has a guilty conscience," Ye Fei said with folded arms. "I heard that someone in your dorm had already fought over her and got caught by Lance in person, not even wearing shoes, and was locked up in solitary. She really knows how to get people to do things for her; in no time at all, someone’s done this for her."
Xu Jinglan rubbed her temples helplessly, at a loss on how to defend He Shu.
"Got nothing to say now, have you?" Ye Fei sneered, "Anyhow, no matter whether He Shu is at fault or not, you should keep your distance from now on to avoid being implicated again. Only when it involves her, others always end up unfortunate. Otherwise, why didn’t Xia Youyou seek revenge on her? Why is she only fixated on you?"
"Ye Fei, you’re being completely unreasonable now. He Shu is just naive and timid."
"I think she knows you’re capable and have a much higher status in the family. That’s why she tries so hard to get close to you, to befriend you. Believe it or not, the moment someone more formidable than you appears, you’ll immediately become her second-best friend, or even the third or fourth best friend?"
A loud noise came from the door, followed by the sound of someone falling.
Xu Jinglan gave Ye Fei a helpless look.
Ye Fei shrugged her shoulders; she hadn’t expected someone would catch her words so precisely.
