Yu Mei noticed how red her eyes were, "You didn't sleep well?"
"I could not," Li Shuang tapped her fingers on the desk, ''When did you entangle yourself with that moronic relative of yours?"
"Well," Yu Mei cleared her throat. Luckily, Li Shuang didn't see Jun Zixuan who was in her room, or else she would not have known how to answer her, "It's a long story."
Li Shuang nodded, "You should stay away from such people."
"He is the Film Emperor, after all, you make him sound like a psycho," Yu Mei chuckled finding it a bit funny. A flamboyant guy like Mu Shen would never have expected that he would be despised by a woman someday.
"He was inviting me to sleep with him. Do you think it is normal?"
While the students left the classroom one by one, both Yu Mei and Li Shuang were left alone on their desks.
Yu Mei could not help but laugh looking at the woman's cold face scrunching up in disgust, "He is fond of women and you happened to be a beautiful ice flower."
Li Shuang shook her head, "Your guardian is the trending topic of the university now. They all are saying that he is your boyfriend. So, do I know him?"
The corner of her lips twitched. This came too suddenly. How was she supposed to answer it now?
"Ah Shuang," Zhu Boqin stepped inside the classroom with a soft smile playing across his lips.
Li Shuang tilted her head to the side before standing up, ''You're here."
He nodded.
"I'll leave now," Yu Mei stood up.
From her mother's death to her marriage with Jun ZIxuan, Li Shuang was unaware of a lot of things because she was not on talking terms with the previous owner during that time. It was kind of better that her boyfriend came since she didn't know how to explain the situation to her.
Taking advantage of the chance, Yu Mei slung her bag across her shoulder but before she could walk away, Zhu Boqin grabbed her hand.
"Mei."
Her footsteps came to a halt as she turned around to glance at her hand that was being held by him. She opened her mouth to say something but refrained from doing so when her gaze landed on Li Shuang's face.
"Boqin, let go of her."
Zhu Boqin paused for a moment, ''I just wanted to talk to her and...."
"Enough," Li Shuang coldly interrupted him as she tilted her head to look at him, "Let go of her."
His grip on her wrist loosened and Yu Mei retracted her hand quickly as she glanced at Li Shuang, "See you later."
The corner of her lips slightly tugged up as Li Shuang nodded.
As soon as Yu Mei left the classroom, Zhu Boqin quickly explained himself, "Ah Shuang, I...I just wanted to clear up the misunderstandings with her so that you both can go back to how you were before. I..."
"We are doing much better than before. You don't have to help us," Li Shuang replied with a straight face looking at him coldly.
"Are you doubting my intentions?" He asked, cupping her cheeks.
"I'm not," She softly replied.
"I knew you will always trust me," He lowered his head to her level, leaning in for a kiss. But just as their lips touched, she tilted her face to the side, "I'm tired. I'll go back to the dorm and take a rest first."
Zhu Boqin stood rooted to his spot even until her back disappeared from his view.
...
As Yu Mei wandered in the corridor, she could not help but think back to what happened in the classroom. That guy, Zhu Boqin did not deserve Li Shuang.
Even though he had not done anything wrong or he is not bad at anything but it was just her instinct that he wasn't the right one for her.
Alas, she could do nothing about it. It was Li Shuang's call in the end.
She held her bag in her hand before taking out the rose from the inner corner. Putting the bag on her back, she looked at the rose in her hand and stroked its petal with her index finger, 'Your owner has invited me to his place to help me with my studies. So? Shall I go or not?'
While thinking about the said owner, she was unaware of how her lips stretched in a soft smile.
"Ah...."
While she was walking, she did not realize when someone bumped into her causing the rose in her hand to fall on the floor in the process.
Without giving it a second thought, she bent her body to pick up the rose from the floor but just as her hand reached towards the flower, someone stepped on the back of her palm.
She sucked in a cold breath and grabbed the rose with her other hand before it could be damaged while she tried to get her hand from under the stiletto.
The person pressed the heel harder on her hand and she winced.
"Oh my god. Sister, what are you doing?' Yu Yan shouted getting the attention of the students passing by in the corridor. Some of them were already looking at the ongoing fiasco.
"Yu Yan, step back," Yu Mei coldly said when she could not bear the pain anymore.
"Sister, how can you talk like this with me. Do you think I did it on purpose?"
"It seems like you want to keep stepping on my hand. That's fine, you should not blame me for being cruel then," Without giving her a chance to react, Yu Mei twisted her wrist in a swift motion, her finger pulled the heel of her stiletto as she stood up.
"AHHHH!" Yu Yan screamed as she fell on the floor on her butt, "S-Sister, how could you do this?"
"Stand up again, I'll show you the demo of how I did this." Yu Mei put the rose in her bag as she took out a handkerchief to wipe her hand before throwing it away.
"What's going on here?"
