Yu Yu was about to speak up when he saw Shu Shu grin widely, “He’s that extra from the hot searches!”
Everyone was shocked on the spot. What extra?
Yu Yu smiled weakly, “Ever since I got to know Shu Shu, I felt that I’ve been living a meaningless life. If I want to find a decent job, if not for my father’s sake, there’s no department that wants me! Since I have good looks, I can only enter the entertainment industry to prove that I still have some skills! Shu Shu is too awesome. She keeps upgrading herself constantly, and she makes me feel embarrassed!”
Pui! This broken book (Shu) was the one without a job, doing absolutely nothing the entire day. There was no such thing as upgrading herself!
Shu Shu took a gulp of the water, looking touched as she smiled.
Damn! Her teeth felt sour!
“Shu Shu, your boyfriend treats you so well!” One of the girls at the same table said, feeling touched as well.
“Yeah, he has such a good family background but he would rather go out to work. Shu Shu, you’re so lucky!”
The smile looked fake. Shu Shu knew what was going on in her mind. Would there be any idiot who would leave a good life behind to go out and make a living?
Anyway Shu Shu wouldn’t believe that there was someone like that. That person either had something wrong with his head or he was just too bored with that life!
Liu Xuyan was tense. She couldn’t continue to nitpick them no matter if they lied or not. So she sat quietly, as if it was just something she’d accidentally blurted out.
Shu Shu suddenly thought of the word, quiet like a ‘mouse’. She really wasn’t used to seeing Liu Xuyan like this, looking like she was small and weak. Her pitiful look made all those extremely kind-hearted people want to take special care of her!
During their university times, there was not a single person in her course that wasn’t aware that Liu Xuyan’s parents were both dead. The pitiful girl lost both her parents when she was still in high school. All of them, from the counselor to the cleaner, gave her special treatment. Even Shu Shu, who was in the ‘same boat’, empathized with her.
Her university fees and living fees were paid for by other people.
Yet, there were only a few people who knew that Shu Shu was raised as an orphan. After she left her orphanage to enter the university, they did not give her any allowance anymore. This was the main reason a science student like her turned to writing in the first place. It was all because she needed to survive!
There were only three people who knew that she was an orphan. One was Min Yalan; she had gone back to her hometown after graduation, and they didn’t keep in contact much anymore. Another one was Jin You, she was overseas and was not back yet. They had a close relationship though and would call each other sometimes. The last one was Cheng Duanyi…
Shu Shu still remembered that time when he hugged her and promised her softly, Shu Shu, you don’t need others’ sympathy, my love for you will be enough…
While in reality, he’d broken his promise.
She was deep in her memories when there was a pain from her leg. Looking down, she saw the hand of the man beside her pinching it.
Shu Shu slapped it away, and acted like she was whispering sweetly to him when she leaned close to him. She grinned, “You have a death wish? What are you doing?!”
Yu Yu looked back at her warmly, “Who’s the one who kept staring at the b*stard?!”
“Broken book (Shu)!”
Both of them bickered in whispers, but they looked like they were interacting in soft voices at everyone’s eyes. Cheng Duanyi continued adding force to the chopsticks he was holding, until… “Pa”!
Liu Xuyan could see how much he cared from beside him. She couldn’t take it anymore and stood up. “I’m going to the lavatory!”
Yu Yu lowered his head and gave her a signal. “You take that b*tch, I’ll take that b*stard!”
Her eyes narrowed, “You can do it?”
Yu Yu was livid, “Of course I can! And how about you, are you able to do it?”
Shu Shu lifted an eyebrow, “I’m going to the lavatory too!” She then stood up and walked out.
Yu Yu saw that Cheng Duanyi had started to move and wanted to go after her as well. He quickly said, “Class monitor Cheng~ Let me give you a toast for taking good care of Shu Shu in the past!”
Cheng Duanyi sneered, “It’s my role to take care of her, I don’t need you to thank me!”
“You can’t say that, since you are in the past tense (-ed), and I’m in the present tense (-ing)!”
“I’ve told you, I won’t give up on Shu Shu!”
“I’ve also told you, I won’t give you a chance!”
Cheng Duanyi snorted while suppressing himself. Yu Yu asked again, “So, should we drink?”
He picked up the alcohol and sat next to him, at Liu Xuyan’s spot.
Cheng Duanyi also picked up his alcohol and both of them began to drink while insulting each other.
“When I’m still with Shu Shu, you are still somewhere racing and hitting on chicks!”
“Pui, I don’t hit on chicks! I only have Shu Shu in my eyes, not like you, dating two girls at once!”
“Do you know how many years of feelings me and Shu Shu have together? You think you can get between us?!”
“I don’t think so, how many years can you two have? Four years of university, and another two years after graduation? Huh, I have so many years left with her!”
……
When Shu Shu reached the lavatory, Liu Xuyan was washing her hands and about to leave. Shu Shu walked in.
“Shu Shu, you’re here too?” Liu Xuyan smiled so warmly.
Shu Shu looked at her coldly, “Don’t need to fake it anymore, it’s just the two of us here!”
“I…” Liu Xuyan said, like she was mistreated. She watched Shu Shu grab a lipstick out of her bag, and began to apply it on her lips calmly, looking as if she was living her life fully. It was that same lipstick that she was fond of, but decided against buying it because she thought it was too expensive. This chapter was taken from novelping.com without permission.
It just felt as if Shu Shu was mocking her, even when she was just applying lipstick.
She then turned around and snickered, “I’m curious to see what happens in the end, even after you do everything you can to get close to Cheng Duanyi!”
Liu Xuyan couldn’t hold herself any longer. Shu Shu’s face made her envious. The first time she did it with Cheng Duanyi, it only happened when he was drunk. She used the opportunity to get close to him, and listened to him calling Shu Shu, Shu Shu the whole night!
“Why is this world so unfair!” She was about to slap Shu Shu on the face.
Shu Shi grabbed her hand, avoiding it and slapped her back on her face. Liu Xuyan couldn’t believe it, and covered her face with her hand.
She struggled to pull out of her grip. Although Shu Shu wasn’t abnormally strong, she was the one holding her hand and in control. Shu Shu used more force on her grip.
“Ah! Let me go!”
“Don’t move!”
Liu Xuyan glared at her hatefully. Shu Shu could see through her resentment, as if she thought this world was so unfair to her.
Shu Shu pulled her close and whispered, “Unfair? There is more unfairness in this world! Do you believe that Cheng Duanyi will never marry you?”
Liu Xuyan widened her eyes and looked at her, terrified. Shu Shu smiled, “Do you believe it?”
“Impossible!”
Although Cheng Duanyi hated that she went to Shu Shu, he did feel guilty for her. If she could hold on for a few more years, he would surely forgive her and accept her.
Shu Shu scanned her figure up and down, then she smiled, “How much did Cheng Duanyi give you? Did he give you a lot in the past, but he doesn’t give you any now?”
Liu Xuyan glared at her, “He’s been taking care of me! He’s always been taking care of me!”
Shu Shu sneered at her, “Oh, I’m afraid the only thing he gives you now, is just a place to live in!”
She didn’t wait for her reply and released her hand, looking down at her, “In the future, he won’t even take care of you anymore… I told you, he won’t marry you! If you don’t believe me, why don’t we try and see?”
Afterwards, she left for the hall in big steps. Liu Xuyan blanked out, what was Shu Shu trying to do?!
She caught up to her hurriedly.
Meanwhile, Shu Shu pushed open the door, and the first word she said was, “I slapped Liu Xuyan…”
Everyone looked at her in shock.
