Su Yiyi and gang were punished to apologise to Shi Sheng in front of the whole school at the opening ceremony.

Su Yiyi was extremely pissed off as a result.

Arent they just afraid to offend Xu Chengyue? They only know how to bully us who have no backing!

The events of that day had been witnessed by many people so word obviously got out that Su Yiyi tried to frame someone. Her reputation took quite a hit and she had to deal with pointing and muttering just walking on a road, causing Su Yiyi to hate Shi Sheng so much her teeth itched.

And due to how she was close to Ling Hao, there was quite a bit of jealousy directed towards her by the female demographic of the student population. This matter just made her life worse. However, Ling Hao wasnt here and Nangong Jing was out of the country on assignment so these few days were tough for Su Yiyi.

And Shi Sheng had become the mistress of somebody influential due to the rumours about her being kept.

Because they were punished, Anan and Xia Ning disliked Shi Sheng even more. However, they only dared to use words. After all, they didnt want a repeat of the lawyer incident.

Shi Sheng was busy looking for a place to rent so she had no time to bother with these people. She felt like if she continued staying together with Su Yiyi she would die of disgust.

Perhaps luck was finally with her for a student just so happened to be planning on going abroad to study, leaving behind an empty apartment that was pretty close to the school. Shi Sheng rented it without hesitation. However, it needed to be renovated so she was stuck in school for the meantime.

Once Shi Sheng had paid up, she went downstairs and saw the two people she definitely didnt want to meet: Nangong Jing and Su Yiyi. Nangong Jing was hugging Su Yiyi.

Shi Sheng was scratching at a wall inwardly

. What is this ridiculous probability that I meet them here of all places? Damned plot you wont rest easy till you make the antagonist court death!

Xu Chengyue dont you find being a lingering spirit[1] tiring? Nangong Jing coldly gazed at the woman blocking the road. His chin was raised high as if he was a monarch overlooking his territory.

Lingering spirit your ass! You think I

want

to meet you?

Shi Sheng swept a gaze at Su Yiyi, who was currently acting like a small bird leaning against a person[2] though her eyes held triumph.

However, when she spoke it was always very softly and gently as if she was being aggrieved all the time. Ms Xu, Im sorry about last time. I didnt do it on purpose. My head was a bit dizzy from the bump so I didnt know that they were saying such things about you. I already apologised in front of the whole school so I hope you can forgive me

Look at how sophisticated your wording is, you managed to completely shift the blame away from you. Heres one like from me

(bbb)

!

Hearing Su Yiyi mentioning this matter, Nangong Jings face got even colder before speaking in a very impatient tone. Xu Chengyue, move out from the dormitory.

Nangong Jing, have you watched too many braindead dramas?

Your mom, what, was the school opened by you that I have to move just because you said so?

Nangong Jings forehead throbbed. Dont try my patience.

Im not going try your patience but fem- fellow student Su Yiyi over here is definitely going to try out your stamina. Shi Sheng smiled wickedly.

At first Su Yiyi didnt understand but once she got it her face turned bright red, whether from shame or anger, we do not know.

Xu Chengyue how can you be so shameless? Is this how Uncle Xu taught you all these years? Nangong Jing got angry. He never knew this girl who had been courting him for so long was capable of saying such words.

I feel like Im much better than you! Shi Sheng looked innocently. Look, I wasnt the one who got caught in bed with someone else in front of my fiance was I?

Shouldve called more people over.

Nangong Jing was rendered speechless.

Ms Xu youre going overboard! Su Yiyi raised her head, revealing her tear-filled eyes. I know me being together with Jing makes you very uncomfortable but matters of the heart cant be forced. Just what will it take for you to let me off?!

Overboard? If you hadnt done that, how could I have been overboard enough to say it out?

Your mom! Its clearly you guys who arent letting

me

off, okay!!

Su Yiyi was stuck for words. Her misty eyes gazed pitifully at Nangong Jing, causing his protective urge to rise up.

Enough! Nangong Jing reprimanded Shi Sheng in a heavy voice. Xu Chengyue, this is my last warning. I will

never

like you so just give up on finding trouble for Yiyi else I wont let you off.

Shi Sheng gave a short derisive laugh.

I prefer dealing with Chu Tang that pervert over Nangong Jing. Even Pervert Chu is better than a narcissistic Nangong Jing!

Stop imagining youre so great, Nangong Jing. Shi Sheng paused before her scornful gaze landed on Su Yiyi. This eyesight of yours really isnt that good. I must have been blind to like you before. Dont worry I had my eyes fixed so I definitely wont look at you more than necessary. Im scared of getting an eye disease.

Su Yiyi thought hatefully,

This woman is indirectly scolding me!

However, Nangong Jings thoughts were still on the phrase Stop imagining youre so great. He had never thought this phrase would be used to describe him Especially not by someone who used to like him

Shi Sheng walked past the two while waving her hand, Be careful of your white flower[3] climbing over the wall[4]!

Knowing that Nangong Jing and Su Yiyi might have a place to stay near that apartment, Shi Sheng gave up on moving there.

Didnt Nangong Jing want me to move out of the dormitory? Humph why should I listen to him?

Hence Shi Sheng stayed in the dormitory. Seeing those three hate her so much their teeth itched yet were unable to do anything to her made her feel much better.

Su Yiyi didnt return that night. The next morning her face was radiant when she returned. When asked by Anan and Xia Ning, Su Yiyi replied that a relative of hers had arrived so she stayed the night at a hotel. Shi Sheng very unobligingly gave a stifled laugh. Su Yiyi immediately shut up.

That night was the night of the ball. The three others in the dormitory had started dressing up since late afternoon. Su Yiyi wasnt wearing the dress similar to the one Xiao Wei sent but another one. It was white too but the skirt was longer, making her look more fairy-like.

Yiyi looks really good. Ah, a pity I cant go with you Anans face was filled with disappointment.

Sorry, Anan Although Su Yiyis face appeared apologetic, if one looked closer, they would find that her eyes were filled with triumphant pride.

Anan smiled as she shook her head. Its nothing, nothing at all. You and Senior Ling go have fun.

However, in her heart she was really jealous to death. If she was able to attend the ball in the West auditorium maybe she could meet an ideal man[5].

Xia Ning had also changed into her outfit. After the three finished exchanging empty pleasantries, Xia Nings gaze landed on Shi Sheng who showed no signs of getting up. Xu Chengyue arent you going to the ball?

Didnt you notice she didnt receive any invitation? Theres no one wholl bring her so where will she go? Anan scoffed.

She can go with us to the South auditorium!

Stop joking. With her status, how can she go with us to the South auditorium. Xu Chengyue why dont you go seduce one now, maybe youll be in time to attend the ball at the West auditorium. This should be easy-peasy to you!

Xia Ning and Anan spoke in turn to deride Shi Sheng. Shi Sheng shut her notebook before shooting them a smile filled with ill-intent. Ah thats right. Going to the West auditorium isnt hard for me but for you guys Im afraid you wont be able to go there even when you graduate.

Anan and Xia Nings expressions changed. In the end, Anan couldnt help but retort, Youre just relying on men whats to be so proud of? You really think youre such a hotshot.

You dont want face[6]!

If I dont want my face how do I rely on men?

Anan,

In the end Anan lost. Once someone decided to be shameless, if you couldnt be more shameless then you could only bear with it.

[1] Metaphor for how the person referred to is often lingering in the vicinity.

[2] Act of reliance.

[3] Woman who looks pure and innocent. The truth? Who knows?

[4] Phrase to describe women cheating on men and having an affair with someone else. Probably because in ancient China, women often stayed at home so to cheat theyd have to climb over a wall.

[5] It says which means tall, rich and handsome. Basically the ideal partner for (most?) women.

[6] Basically, shes being shameless. I would say that but this phrasing is necessary for the next line to make sense.
