After everyone had left the dorm room where the incident had happened, Gu Yueshuo finally came back.
When he learned from Bu Zhongyao that Su Ning planned to go to the cafeteria, he asked in a hard-to-understand tone, “You really think this method will work?”
Bu Zhongyao looked at Xuan Yuan Mo.
“Do you really think this method will work?”
Xuan Yuan Mo glanced at Su Ning, who was walking ahead with Shen Ji.
The two of them were holding hands and chatting enthusiastically about what they should eat for breakfast tomorrow.
He looked away and said, “We’ll know after we try it.”
So Bu Zhongyao replied to Gu Yueshuo, “We’ll know after we try it.”
Gu Yueshuo pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.
Like many boys, Gu Yueshuo did not like Xuan Yuan Mo.
Xuan Yuan Mo was cold and quiet every day, as though he thought no one else could compare with him.
And yet, Xuan Yuan Mo was extremely popular among the girls.
He was unquestionably the most popular guy in their eyes, and Gu Yueshuo had always been firmly overshadowed by him.
Bu Zhongyao asked, “Did the dorm supervisor give you trouble?
Why did it take you so long to come back?”
Gu Yueshuo immediately remembered what Wei Suo had told him.
For some reason, he did not dare look at Bu Zhongyao.
Instead, he gave a vague “Mm,” taking it as an affirmation of her guess.
There was some distance between the boys’ dormitory and the cafeteria.
Although it was already dusk, the summer sun was still scorching.
Shen Ji naturally rummaged through Su Ning’s bag and took out a folded parasol.
He opened it and held it over Su Ning’s head, shielding her from the intense sunlight.
Su Ning linked her arm through his.
She suddenly thought that they would graduate next year, and that they did not have much time left to walk around campus like this.
Curious, she asked, “Shen Ji, where do you want to go after graduation?”
Shen Ji’s expression turned strange, and for a moment, he did not say anything.
Su Ning found it strange.
“What is it?”
Shen Ji lowered his head and spoke softly.
“Ning Ning can leave after graduation, but I can’t leave.”
Su Ning tilted her head as she looked at him.
Seeing the disappointment on his face, she noticed a kind of vulnerability she had never seen from him before.
She reached out and touched his cheek.
“I told you to study hard.
Shen Ji pressed his lips together and said nothing.
“It’s okay.”
Su Ning held his hand, the corners of her eyes curving as she smiled sweetly.
“I can wait for you.”
Shen Ji slowly raised his eyes and gave her a faint smile.
“Okay.”
Under the sunlight, the group of young men and women were each caught up in their own lively conversations.
Lu Zhizhi stood beneath a tree not far away.
She saw Su Ning and Shen Ji, as well as Bu Zhongyao and Gu Yueshuo.
She also saw Xuan Yuan Mo, the most handsome boy in the school.
Why did the best boys in the school all hang around with those two girls who bullied others?
The longer Lu Zhizhi stayed at this school, the stronger the confusion in her heart became.
She had nothing in common with her classmates and could not fit in with them.
Originally, she had thought that becoming rich overnight had put her above many people.
After all, her classmates at her previous school had envied her, and some boys had secretly liked her.
She was pretty, had good grades, and was liked by both teachers and classmates.
But at this school, she was nothing.
She wanted to tell her classmates that people like Su Ning and Bu Zhongyao were wrong.
If everyone stood together against injustice, then neither Su Ning nor Bu Zhongyao would be able to act tyrannically at school.
Yet her classmates asked whether Lu Zhizhi had gone crazy.
Lu Zhizhi had once even gathered up her courage and approached Lu Xiaoran from her class.
With sincerity, she said, “Su Ning doesn’t even consider you a friend.
Everyone is born equal.
You don’t need to bow and scrape before her.
No matter how much you flatter her, she only sees you as a lackey.
Lu Xiaoran, as long as you have the courage, you can stand up and stop letting Su Ning bully you.”
Lu Xiaoran only replied, “Are you sick?”
Lu Xiaoran’s family background was not particularly good, but as long as she said a few nice things, she could get all kinds of benefits from Su Ning.
And because of a word or two from Su Ning, her family’s business could receive considerable support.
More importantly, ever since Lu Xiaoran started spending time with Su Ning, no one dared bully her anymore because of her family’s background.
If praising Su Ning every day meant being her lackey, then Lu Xiaoran was quite happy to be Su Ning’s lackey.
After all, Su Ning was very easy to please.
All Lu Xiaoran had to do was praise Su Ning every day as the most beautiful girl in the world and gush about how perfect Su Ning and her boyfriend were together.
Lu Zhizhi sighed inwardly at how Lu Xiaoran had already been conditioned into submission.
“Why are none of you willing to stand up to Su Ning?
When all is said and done, she’s only rich because of her family. The source of this chapter is g.com.
If all of us band together…”
Lu Xiaoran finally understood why this new classmate did not fit in.
She let out an impatient laugh.
“You’re really something.
Put away that self-righteous savior act.
In this school, all you need to do is mind your own business.”
Lu Zhizhi thought that everyone at this school had already grown accustomed to being ruled by bad people.
If they did not find a way to change things, more and more people like her would be bullied.
Standing in the shade, Lu Zhizhi watched the backs of Su Ning’s group disappear from sight.
The feeling in her heart grew stronger.
People like Su Ning and Bu Zhongyao did not deserve to enjoy being treated like the center of attention.
For the sake of everyone who was too afraid to resist, she had to find a way to make this school change.
Lu Zhizhi looked at her phone.
There was a message she had received not long ago.
Wei Suo: [About the rumor of the art room that can grant wishes, I found some new information.
Do you want to hear it?]
Lu Zhizhi: [Yes.]
The cafeteria’s main door was not locked.
Several of them slipped into the kitchen, and sure enough, they could see animal organs among the pile of kitchen waste.
Su Ning pulled Shen Ji to one side.
She did not want him picking up any strange smells.
Since Bu Zhongyao and Xuan Yuan Mo were the ones having the nightmares, naturally, those two would do the searching.
Bu Zhongyao was a delicate young lady.
Making her touch this kind of thing was practically torture.
Xuan Yuan Mo, on the other hand, had always been the practical type.
Even though he did not want to touch it either, he still rummaged through the trash can with an unchanged expression.
Bu Zhongyao held her breath.
Just as she was about to reach out, Gu Yueshuo pushed her aside and began rummaging through the trash with a grim expression.
Bu Zhongyao spoke in surprise.
“Gu Yueshuo, this is my business.”
Gu Yueshuo did not even raise his head.
“I’m not so useless that I can stand by and watch my own girlfriend rummage through a trash can without doing anything.”
Bu Zhongyao’s face flushed red.
