How did a holiday pass by without seeing each other, yet Ying Jing seems to see Lu Zishu like a nemesis?
Isn't he just a nemesis?
It's a blessing not to be cut to pieces.
"You really don't like him anymore?"
"I really don't like him anymore, I have someone I like..." Before the rest of the sentence could come out, a sharp voice interrupted.
"Some people! They really know how to pretend. On the surface they say they don't like or care, but in reality, to get Lu Zishu's attention, they've resorted to things like wrist-cutting and suicide."
The words shocked many in attendance.
Everyone's gaze fell on Ying Jing.
Even Zhao Qingran and their rehearsing group were drawn by the commotion.
Lu Zishu, who had returned, heard as well.
The speaker was Jiang Li, from the same year but different major as Ying Jing, and the vice president of the student council.
Also Ying Jing's nemesis, though Ying Jing never paid her any mind.
Jiang Li likes Lu Zishu but can't outshine Ying Jing. Initially, Ying Jing couldn't catch Lu Zishu, but Jiang Li happened to witness Lu Zishu personally instructing someone to buy bubble tea for Ying Jing and personally delivering it to her side.
Such a change was unacceptable to her.
Why should Ying Jing have a chance at what she can't get?
The long-standing suppression was released.
Hence the current scene.
She held the best evidence to crush Ying Jing.
That night, Jiang Li caught a cold and went to the hospital to get an IV, and coincidentally saw Ying Jing being taken to the hospital, but was too shocked to take pictures.
Yet she saw firsthand the blood dripping from Ying Jing's wrist, splattering along the way.
Then the Ying family sealed all information.
Ying Jing was unaware Jiang Li saw her being taken to the hospital.
Whether the other party had photos or not, the scar on her wrist was real.
Seeing Ying Jing stay silent, Jiang Li pressed further.
"Do you dare to take off the wristband and show everyone?"
Qingqing stood up to protect Ying Jing.
"Jiang Li, are you crazy? You can't stand seeing others well, can you? I play so well with Ying Jing, and I don't even know her business, yet you make it as if you know everything. Do you live by the sea? Acting so broadly. Couldn't you just let others chase Lu Zishu if you can't get him!"
Ying Jing gratefully glanced at Qingqing.
Having such a friend, there's no regret in life!
Jiang Li was infuriated.
"Of course, you would speak for her, if you have guts, take it off for everyone to see!"
Jiang Li was notoriously hot-tempered, compared to Ying Jing's low-key kindness, more people disliked Jiang Li.
One after another stood up to speak for Ying Jing.
Instantly proving who had more public favor.
But eighty percent were eager to watch the drama.
The most controversial figures of Hu City University gathered, rumors and gossip flew together, weren't the witnessing onlookers supposed to relay real-time updates?
Ying Jing slowly raised her hand, just when everyone thought she would compromise and prove, she looked at Jiang Li with a disdainful smile.
Lu Zishu couldn't take it anymore, intending to help.
Ying Jing spoke first before his move.
"Why should I?"
"What?" Jiang Li looked at her, puzzled.
"Why should I show everyone just because you say so, have I committed some monstrous wrongdoing? No, right? Even if what you say is true, it's my private matter. Why are you acting ugly like a monkey, bouncing incessantly in a hurry? If that's the case, should I also say I want to see Miss Jiang without clothes, could you take them off for everyone?"
Laughter erupted among the crowd.
Jiang Li was angered to tears, speechless.
"You're just making excuses, you're afraid to show everyone."
"I send the same words back to Jiang, you're just making excuses, you're afraid to show everyone."
"Ying Jing... you..."
"What's wrong, I'm just speaking truthfully. Are you scared? Don't back down! If Jiang dares to speak but not act, as soon as you take them off I'll prove to everyone right away."
"Is there a comparison? What I want to see is a hand."
"A hand is also part of my body, isn't it right? Why is it only allowed for Jiang to speak about me, but I can't speak about you? Aren't you being double standard? Or is Jiang intentionally targeting me?"
Ying Jing left and right called Jiang classmate.
Though everyone wanted to know if Ying Jing had indeed wrist-cutting suicide for Lu Zishu, facing Jiang Li's repeated aggressiveness was still irritating.
"Jiang Li, you're too domineering!"
"Just capable of instigating things but unable to resolve them."
"Truly anyone can enter the student council."
"People used to say council students bully others, I didn't believe it, today really opened my eyes, thankfully I didn't join."
The affair dragged even the student council into the water, if no one came out to resolve, it wouldn't be good.
Jiang Li thought it was a blade to control Ying Jing, yet didn't know the knife reversed and stabbed herself.
Ying Jing instantly became the dominator, stepping on her.
Jiang Li disregarded everything, reached to grab off Ying Jing's band.
Suddenly a hand extended to stop.
"Enough causing trouble?"
Jiang Li, tearful, looked at Lu Zishu.
"Lu Zishu, you help her not me."
"I'm helping neither, no need to look, there's no scar on her hand."
"You still say you're not helping her."
"I'm just speaking truth."
...
Jiang Li was eventually pulled away by a friend, too humiliating, no one on site helped her, instead she was scolded a few rounds, this young lady might return home for some isolation.
The spectators dispersed.
Ying Jing calmly sat down.
But inside she was panicking like crazy.
Near losing her cool, how would she handle it? Truly a genius, astutely turning the situation, thoroughly suppressing the enemy.
No choice, she was simply too perfect.
Such perfection could only pair with someone equally perfect, Wen Fucheng.
A day without seeing him, did Wen Fucheng think of her?
If not, that's fine, she thought of him, she must strive to show presence.
[Ying Jing: I'll tell you, I just did something awesome.]
Attached was a meme of a stick figure hands on hips looking up with a sign reading "awesome" above their head.
Holding the phone waiting for future husband's reply, unexpected was future husband's call.
Ying Jing immediately smiled, grabbed the phone moving to the corridor with nobody.
Answered sweetly.
"Did you think of me, so much you didn't even want to type!"
Wen Fucheng, just arrived at the branch office, hearing her voice, the heart grew heavy with sweetness.
Just about to speak.
Another voice from the receiver end, not one he liked hearing.
"Ying Jing."
Ying Jing didn't know Lu Zishu followed, turned seeing him standing not far.
Furrowed brows.
Planning to change places, the other chased over.
"Is what Jiang Li said true? Did you really... cut wrists for me."
The jerk, Ying Jing wished to strike Lu Zishu, what if Wen Fucheng heard?
Panic, trying to hang up, explain later, too tense missing the usual hang-up button, accidentally pressed speaker.
Instantly, a low husky voice resonated from the receiver.
Between their confrontation rose.
"Honey, I miss you."
