‘Oh, by the way,’ she finally remembered Shen Xinghao beside her, ‘Let me introduce a friend. Shen Xinghao. He’s my brother’s classmate.’ Then to Shen Xinghao: ‘She’s Qian Li. My and Tuo’s sister.’
Blowing the cool air, she was feeling a bit drowsy, her eyelids drooping. Suddenly, a burst of crying and screaming pierced through the empty playground, followed by chaotic and panicked footsteps. Qianchi was startled awake, bewilderedly looking at each classmate rushing outside.
Chapter 5: Brother’s Lover
Her deskmate Tang Qiqi pulled the confused Qianchi to run outside, saying, ‘Let’s go see, this is a classic Haixin scene, you’ll miss out if you don’t look!’ Qianchi, not knowing what was happening, could only be dragged along.
On the playground, over ten girls were surrounding a girl completely soaked and in a sorry state, with slap marks on her face.
A girl who seemed to be the leader threw a crumpled pink letter at the girl: ‘With your looks, you dare to confess to our Xing Tuo!’
‘Ugly monster!'”
“
“Have you no shame!”
“Get out of Haixin!”
The watching crowd began to hurl abuse at her, but she remained silent, carefully picking up the crumpled pink envelope and smoothing it out. She looked up, directly facing everyone, with no trace of fearful tears in her eyes, and said word by word: “Is it wrong to like someone?”
Qianchi was captivated by the light in her eyes, staring blankly, momentarily lost.
“Hmph!” the lead girl sneered: “Go look in the mirror! Daring to like Xing Tuo!”
“Thinking you’re Cinderella? Know your place!” The crowd began to laugh, and the girl’s face reddened. The girl fell to the ground, desperately protecting her hair. Harsh insults and mockery continued, to the point that no one heard the class bell.
“Shut up! Everyone be quiet!”
A domineering voice rang out, and suddenly everyone fell silent.
“Ah! It’s the ‘Three’ Princes!” someone whispered.
Three princes-like handsome young men walked leisurely in the sunlight. The leader was Xing Tuo.
“What are you doing? Fighting?” Shen Xinghao glanced at the girl on the ground and frowned.
No one answered.
Xing Tuo impatiently said: “It’s so hot, and you’re making me irritated! Everyone go back to class!”
