Beauty and the Beasts

Only after running for a while did Bai Qingqing realize what she had said.

See you at the dormitory… Where in the dormitory? Was he going to hang on the tree again?

Bai Qingqing was going crazy. She dashed back to the dormitory with a reddened face and was about to look out of the window to see if there was any place to hide when she felt that the atmosphere didn’t seem right.

Everyone was looking at her and smiling strangely.

Bai Qingqing paused in her footsteps, then suddenly realized that she was still holding onto the love letter that she hadn’t managed to read…

Nothing was going well, with troubles not visiting alone!

Bai Qingqing calmly folded the love letter and then walked over to the windows nonchalantly. It was pitch-black outside and she could see the shadows of the trees.

It seemed that there wouldn’t be a problem with Curtis’s hiding spot.

Tang Li secretly walked over behind her, then suddenly reached out to snatch the letter. Bai Qingqing immediately moved it away as if she had eyes on the back of her head.

“What are you doing? Is this a robbery?” Bai Qingqing joked, then took the letter as she climbed onto the top bunk.

Tang Li hung onto the edge of Bai Qingqing’s bed, stomping and saying pleadingly, “Let me have a look. Is it a love letter from Zhang Xin?”

“It isn’t.” Bai Qingqing put the letter under her pillow, her voice sounding calm and composed. If her face wasn’t so red, everyone would really believe her.

Tang Li grabbed onto the edge of the bed and shook it vigorously. “Come on, let me have a look, let me have a look. I’ll just take one look.”

“Tang Li! Why are you being so shameless?” Bai Qingqing felt helpless.

“Let me have a look!”

The two of them started a tussle while the other dorm mates started making a ruckus, too. Bai Qingqing was really scared that Curtis might notice abnormalities when he came over and was about to say something when a cold snort suddenly rang out in the room.

There was a moment of silence in the room, then everyone’s gaze moved away from Bai Qingqing and turned toward a bed that was close to the door.

Wang Cuiniu’s lips tugged ambiguously, not hiding her contempt for Bai Qingqing.

Tang Li was instantly enraged. She pointed to her and said, “What are you snorting about? We’re talking between ourselves, what is it to you?”

Wang Cuiniu assumed an arrogant air, saying, “Isn’t it just a love letter? Why are you making a big fuss about it as if you’re the only one who has received it before?”

Bai Qingqing wasn’t the one making a ruckus out of this, and those who slept close to her were just joking and feeling curious about it. Wang Cuiniu’s “making a big fuss of it” offended the entire group.

Several girls immediately rolled their eyes at her.

“That’s right.” The girl who slept on the bunk below Wang Cuiniu said, “I heard that Zhang Xin is a playboy and had at least five girlfriends when he was in middle school. Even if Bai Qingqing goes out with him, they might just break up very soon.”

Wang Cuiniu let out another cold laugh. “I heard that his family is very rich. Bai Qingqing couldn’t have purposely seduced him for the sake of money, right?”

As she said this, she sized up Bai Qingqing with a judgmental gaze, taking a few more looks in certain areas, her gaze filled with contempt.

Hearing that, the girls’ gazes when looking at Bai Qingqing were shrouded with a hint of doubt. This drove Tang Li mad.

Bai Qingqing patted her shoulder consolingly and smiled, asking with interest, “None of us knew about this. Why do you know so much? Did you intentionally make the effort to find out?”

Wang Cuiniu instantly felt that things were bad and wanted to say something to hide it when Tang Li patted the edge of the bed hard, saying loudly, “That’s right! That must be it! I was wondering why you’re always picking on Bai Qingqing. Turns out that you’ve been treating her as a love rival.”

Everyone realized what was going on. They had felt jealous about the beautiful Wang Cuiniu, to begin with, but now they had a reason to view her in contempt. All of them threw dagger-like gazes at her.
