Chapter 182: There’s No Need to Be So Harsh
Not everyone was led astray by the gossip.
Humans follow their hearts. In the past, Gu Qingjiu frequently hung out with Yu Bao’er and didn’t interact much with these people.
Hence, Feng Meiyun and the gang had roped many people in; however, not everyone liked them.
There were also some who couldn’t stand their personalities. After such an incident had happened, they finally found an outlet to vent and their fragile alliance with them slowly dissolved.
When she heard their discussion, Gu Qingjiu’s expression remained calm.
She took it as if she heard nothing and washed her hands before leaving the washroom.
When the afternoon training ended, Gu Qingjiu saw a stranger in their dormitory the moment she returned.
Then again, she wasn’t a complete stranger. She was the newcomer Gao Rui who arrived earlier in the day.
She was sitting on Jiang Yu’s bed.
Gu Qingjiu noticed that the bed Yu Bao’er occupied before already had a blanket placed on it.
She realized what was going on instantly.
With a smile on the girl’s lips, her eyes appeared moist as she spoke. “Your name is Gu Qingjiu?”
Her voice didn’t sound as lively and ignorant as she sounded during the day in front of everyone. At that moment, she assumed a high-and-mighty attitude as she questioned Gu Qingjiu.
There was a haughtiness in her tone as if she was speaking to someone whose identity had a huge disparity with hers.
Gu Qingjiu looked towards her and calmly gazed at her.
“Yes.”
Gu Qingjiu stood up from the bed and extended a hand to Gu Qingjiu. “I’m Gao Rui. Let’s get acquainted.”
Gu Qingjiu lowered her head and glanced at her wrist, instantly sticking her hand out and shook Gao Rui’s slightly perfunctorily.
She quickly retracted her hand.
Seeing Gu Qingjiu’s reaction, Gao Rui raised her brows in mild surprise.
Gu Qingjiu went to the balcony and was about to wash her clothes when Gao Rui followed over. “I thought you would ignore me.”
Just as she finished speaking, they heard a series of rushed footsteps from outside.
Gao Rui’s expression froze, and then she walked to Jiang Yu’s bed. She had just sat down when Jiang Yu entered.
“Ya, Ruirui, you came so early? No wonder I couldn’t find you.”
Jiang Yu sounded like they were very chummy.
“Yeah, I asked Instructor Chen for the location and came over by myself. My bed is the one opposite, right?”
Gao Rui seemed to assume a naïve personality as she pointed at Yu Bao’er’s bed.
Although Jiang Yu and Feng Meiyun were reluctant, there was only one vacant bed in the entire dormitory, so Gao Rui could only sleep there.
They could only nod their heads.
Feng Meiyun even shouted out to Gu Qingjiu. “Hey, Gu Qingjiu, our Ruirui is new here. She’s sleeping on your friend Yu Bao’er’s bed, it’s ok right?”
Gu Qingjiu got to her feet instantly.
Although she was back-facing Feng Meiyun, her sudden movement still startled Feng Meiyun.
Her heart quivered, and she subconsciously retreated a step.
Gu Qingjiu turned her head and glanced at Feng Meiyun in a maybe-smiling-maybe-not manner. “This is the military’s bed. If Gao Rui wishes to sleep in it and no one is occupying it, then she may. Why are you asking me for my opinion? Do you think I’ll hog onto this bed and forbid others from sleeping in it? Feng Meiyun, you seem to suffer from persecutory delusional disorder. [1. affected persons have unrealistic and bizarre beliefs that others tend to harm him/her]”
Feng Meiyun was speechless.
Her face exploded in redness at hearing Gu Qingjiu’s words.
She thought Gu Qingjiu would pretend she heard nothing. Surprisingly, this time, she retorted back.
She really didn’t dare to trifle with Gu Qingjiu anymore.
“Alright, Qingjiu.” Jiang Yu quietly placed a hand on Feng Meiyun’s arm. “Yunyun merely misspoke. There’s no need to be so harsh.”
