Beauty and the Beasts

Bai Qingqing staggered and nearly fell. With her face flushed red, she rolled her eyes at her.

“How could you be so dirty-minded?”

Tang Li blushed in embarrassment as well. However, she wasn’t going to let her off just yet. She grabbed her arm and asked, “Have you seen his thing? Have you guys done it yet?”

Bai Qingqing stopped in her tracks. With a stern look on her flushed face, she folded her arms across her chest and exclaimed, “You’re so perverted. For the sake of my chastity, I’ve decided to stop being friends with you!”

“Hahahaha…”

Tang Li burst out laughing. The two of them then ran to the classroom, with Tang Li chasing after Bai Qingqing to tickle her.

Many students were chatting in the classroom. Wang Cuiniu’s voice stood out amidst all the background noise and rang in Bai Qingqing’s ears.

“Did you know that Bai Qingqing brought a love letter back to the dormitory yesterday? They all say it’s from you.”

It was clear that Wang Cuiniu was complaining to Zhang Xin.

The smile on Bai Qingqing’s face disappeared and she frowned in annoyance. If Wang Cuiniu had any grievances, she could just come to her. Why did she have to involve other people?

Not wanting Zhang Xin to think she was two-faced, Bai Qingqing was about to step in and explain. However, Tang Li stormed into the classroom.

Tang Li exploded in anger as she pointed at Wang Cuiniu and retorted, “What do you mean by that? Get your facts straight. We were just making guesses. You’re making it sound like Bai Qingqing told others that she received a love letter from Zhang Xin.”

Tang Li genuinely thought that the love letter had nothing to do with Zhang Xin. Wasn’t Wang Cuiniu trying to make Zhang Xin think that Bai Qingqing was delusional and embarrass her?

Even if Bai Qingqing could tolerate it, she couldn’t.

Not the least bit guilty, Wang Cuiniu pouted and replied, “Am I wrong? You girls were the ones who said Zhang Xin gave Bai Qingqing a love letter.”

Zhang Xin sat at his table and waited for the clown-like Wang Cuiniu to finish speaking before he spoke up. “Is that so? Then they were right.”

“What?” Wang Cuiniu looked at him in confusion, thinking that she had misheard him.

Tang Li froze and gasped. She couldn’t believe that it was true.

Zhang Xin smiled and looked at Bai Qingqing as he continued, “I don’t know what love letter you’re talking about, but I did write Bai Qingqing a letter yesterday.”

The classroom immediately erupted into chaos as the boys hooted and whistled.

Wang Cuiniu was instantly dumbfounded, and her mouth opened wide as she forgot to close it.

How could that be? Bai Qingqing had clearly denied it. Why did Zhang Xin say that the letter was from him?

Wang Cuiniu didn’t dare to look at Zhang Xin. He must have thought she was ridiculous for trying to embarrass Bai Qingqing because of this.

Zhang Xin’s feelings of contempt grew stronger as he noticed her expression. The guys that like Wang Cuiniu must really be blind, he thought. How could someone of her character be considered the school belle? Any one of the girls in the class would be better than her.

Bai Qingqing froze. A thin layer of sweat formed on her forehead as she heard the ruckus caused by the guys.

Tang Li then came to her senses. She turned around and shook her finger at Bai Qingqing. “You, you, you… I’m going to break ties with you!”

She had just encountered one boyfriend earlier, and now there was another one. What was the world coming to? Could she spare a thought for a single person like her?

And going back to the love letter, just who was it from? The whole matter was becoming more and more complicated.

Tang Li decided she would torture Bai Qingqing later. Injustice may be served, but a confession—no, the truth—could always be beaten out of someone.

Ring ring ring—

The bell to signal the end of lunch break saved Bai Qingqing from her classmates’ eyes. When the teacher entered the classroom, everyone quietened down.
