Chapter 118: Becoming Famous
"Huh? Who signed up?" Shi Yu was completely puzzled.
Chen Xiaoqian poked at the meal tray, really bored.
Childish games, so immature.
Dong Yi continued to eat his meal expressionlessly.
Lin Xuanhua feigned surprise, "Didn’t you guys check the event schedule? Someone from your doomed dorm signed up, you guys are one of the few from the Science College! You’re gonna be famous, congrats!"
The dorm 4444, which she maliciously dubbed as "doomed."
"Damn it, who signed up? The rehearsal is tonight, and we’re only hearing about it now?" Shi Yu was so upset he couldn’t even enjoy his meat.
Everyone with a spot has been rehearsing for days, and they’re only telling us now? What a joke.
"You guys didn’t prepare anything?" Lin Xuanhua just wanted to see Chen Xiaoqian panic.
According to her snooping, the people living in the doomed dorm have no talents, or if they do, they’ve done no rehearsing, getting on stage would certainly be embarrassing.
"Beg you? I’d rather get on stage and sing a nursery rhyme. Damn, who’s so mean? I’m heading to the student council this afternoon."
Even the naive Shi Yu realized someone was scheming behind their backs.
"The president isn’t in this afternoon, the promotions director isn’t here either. Rehearsal’s tonight, it’d be awkward if you guys messed up, right? Chen Xiaoqian, aren’t you known as Qian? What are you planning to sing on stage, ’Pulling Radishes’?" Lin Xuanhua covered her mouth laughing, the girls who came with her laughed with their mouths covered.
Chen Xiaoqian put down her chopsticks slowly, glanced at her from the corner of her eye.
"You’re really boring." She hadn’t even confronted this dark fatty turtle minister, and here she was, deliberately causing a scene.
"Who can you turn to this time? Even if Yu Mingyi is awesome, he can’t control what happens in our school, can he?"
Lin Xuanhua went back and ruminated for a long time and finally figured it out, if Yu Mingyi came, it must have been through Yu Minglang asking him to save Chen Xiaoqian. At first she was lucky, thinking Yu Minglang didn’t know she was the one sabotaging from behind the scenes.
But Wu Yunfei, also known as the turtle minister, called her, and he was almost crying.
Now at his workplace, people watch him run every day, saying if he runs slow then he’s not carrying any weight yet still can’t run fast.
Even a fool would understand these words, it’s retaliation for the turtle minister previously criticized Chen Xiaoqian for running slowly while carrying weights. Although Yu Minglang is busy with work, it doesn’t stop him from sparing a little time to avenge his girl.
Do you need a reason to protect your loved ones, really?
New grudges and old scores piled together, Lin Xuanhua became even more eager to irritate Chen Xiaoqian.
Upon hearing her mention Yu Mingyi, Dong Yi’s expression turned fierce, Chen Xiaoqian noticed Dong Yi’s change, nudged her glasses, and smiled warmly at Lin Xuanhua.
"What’s the matter, you have a big issue with Yu Mingyi?"
"Not really, just feel like, Yu’s over thirty now, has a wife and kids at home, even if he wants to play around outside, he wouldn’t be interested in you." Lin Xuanhua knew clearly that Yu Mingyi and Chen Xiaoqian certainly weren’t involved, but she was deliberately spreading rumors.
"So those rumors were spread by you." Dong Yi sat up straight, his previously calm face now had angry emotions, hands placed on either side of the meal tray.
Lately, indeed, there have been some nasty rumors suggesting the big leader visiting that day had some messed-up relationship rumors, sounding quite distasteful.
Seeing this, Chen Xiaoqian quickly pulled the clueless Shi Yu aside a bit.
"What did you say—ah!" Lin Xuanhua couldn’t react to who spoke, didn’t even have time to turn around for a glance, suddenly felt warmth on her neck, she shrieked.
Various soup, mixed with some rice grains, all got poured into her collar!
Dong Yi stood up and poured his entire tray inside Lin Xuanhua’s clothes.
Lin Xuanhua screamed sharply, Chen Xiaoqian chuckled.
See, how sharp her psychiatrist instinct is, had she reacted slower, she’d be splattered with soup along with Shi Yu.
"I hear you slandering him again, I’ll hit you every time I see you." After doing all this, Dong Yi remained unfazed, stared sharply at Lin Xuanhua.
Dare to insult the benefactor, tarnish his reputation, hitting her a few times wouldn’t satisfy his anger!
"You’re insane!" Lin Xuanhua was just being nasty, liked to stir trouble behind the scenes, never encountered such direct physical response or in such a disgraceful manner!
The friends she came with quickly circled around.
"Are you out of your mind!"
"What do you wanna do!"
Facing the crowd’s accusations, Dong Yi acted as if he didn’t see, standing opposite Lin Xuanhua, looked at her with a particularly chilling gaze.
"Dare to slander Uncle Mingyi again, I’ll stab a hole in your bloated belly for a sky lantern."
"You... boasting..." Even though Lin Xuanhua was bad, she was just an immature child, got scared speechless by Dong Yi.
"Try me." Dong Yi said expressionlessly. But everyone could see she was serious.
Lin Xuanhua’s group was utterly frightened by Dong Yi, no one dared to speak a word up close.
Maybe these naïve little girls couldn’t see, but Chen Xiaoqian, who had observed countless people, recognized it instantly.
Dong Yi means it.
There’s a type of person who’s particularly nitpicky, normally perhaps temperless, but once you touch their reverse scale, they truly fight hard, single-minded, inflexible, prefer to break than bend, Dong Yi was evidently one of those people.
Chen Xiaoqian watched enough drama, knowing if she didn’t intervene, today’s incident would escalate.
Standing up, she patted Dong Yi’s shoulder, signaling her to step back.
"Lin Xuanhua, I’m not interested in playing these childish games with you. I’m too lazy to care about what you did, but you seem to be getting more worked up."
Chen Xiaoqian grabbed Lin Xuanhua’s collar, brought her ear close to her mouth, whispered only loud enough for the two of them, "Curious why the ’Fourth Brother’ you talk about won’t even glance at you?"
Lin Xuanhua didn’t expect, none of these little girls played by the rules, she just wanted to make presence and disgust Chen Xiaoqian, how did it end up with soup over her and getting grabbed by the collar?
Provoking the doomed dorm trio was the biggest mistake Lin Xuanhua made in her life, none of them were to be trifled with.
"Clean your ears and brighten your eyes, tomorrow you’ll know why Yu Minglang doesn’t care about you, stay away from Yu Minglang in the future, he’s someone you can’t mess with, not even in your dreams."
Chen Xiaoqian’s voice was so low, yet Lin Xuanhua got goosebumps, chilled from her back.
Even when Dong Yi poured soup over her, she hadn’t been so scared.
Chen Xiaoqian released her grip, Lin Xuanhua stepped back two paces, Chen Xiaoqian elegantly sat back down, continued eating without lifting an eyelid, gently uttered.
"Scram."
