Bai Qingqing thought to herself: Sh*t. But still, she hurriedly apologized. “Sorry, you should wipe it.”

Bai Qingqing handed her a piece of tissue, but Wang Jing slapped it off with the back of her hand. Her slim and long fingers pointed at Bai Qingqing’s nose as she said in a shrill voice, “What the hell is wrong with you? I just bought these shoes yesterday! You have to compensate me!”

​ 

From her peripheral vision, Bai Qingqing saw that one of her dormitory mates had already made it out the door, so she stopped rushing for time since she had failed to be the first today. Patiently, she said, “They’re only wet. You can just dry them. If you have no shoes to wear, I have a pair of sandals. You can wear them.”

“Who wants your lousy sandals?” Wang Jing glared at her. Seeing that there was still water in her basin, she reached out to snatch it from her, wanting to splash it on Bai Qingqing’s shoes.

Reading her intention, Bai Qingqing hurriedly dodged, and the basin ended up in Wang Jing’s hands.

A malicious smirk revealed on Wang Jing’s delicate face. She raised her arms and splashed the water towards Bai Qingqing.

Wang Jing’s reaction was extremely quick. From the snatching of the basin to the splashing of water, her actions were swift and fluid. Bai Qingqing had just dodged, when the water came in her direction.

Bai Qingqing actually could avoid the water if she utilized Parker’s powers. But there were too many classmates coming and going around them. Such a conspicuous action would definitely make her bump into them. Those who saw it would also find her speed strange.

In this brief moment, Bai Qingqing experienced hesitation and choice. Finally, she chose to accept this splash. We can call it quits after this, I guess.

In the twinkling of an eye, just as Bai Qingqing tilted her head and prepared to experience a penetrating coolness, to her surprise, a svelte figure suddenly blocked in front of her.

As the splashing of water sounded, before Bai Qingqing could even take a proper look at the person, she heard Wang Jing’s gasp.

“Niu! What are you doing? You’re all wet.” Wang Jing casually tossed the basin aside and quickly wipe Wang Cuiniu’s face.

“Eh?” Bai Qingqing was even more astonished than Wang Jing. She cast several looks at Wang Cuiniu as though she had seen a ghost.

More than half of Wang Cuiniu’s hair and top was drenched, making her look disheveled and pitiful. Sensing Bai Qingqing sizing her up, she awkwardly turned her head away.

Bai Qingqing caught a fleeting look of humiliation flashing past her eyes. It was obvious that Wang Cuiniu still loathed her very much, but it seemed like she didn’t dare to offend her.

As Wang Jing helped Wang Cuiniu wipe the water off her face, she kept asking her questions.

Wang Cuiniu pouted irritably and waved away her hand. “That will do. Let’s go.”

With that, she held Wang Jing’s hand and ran away.

Tang Li had also washed up by now. She walked to Bai Qingqing’s side and stared at the two figures ahead with an anxious and doubtful expression. She said, “Did Wang Cuiniu take the wrong medication today?”

Similarly puzzled, Bai Qingqing shrugged. “Who knows. We ought to hurry up, too.”

The two of them ran out.

Actually, since yesterday, Bai Qingqing had indistinctly felt there was something wrong with Wang Cuiniu’s attitude towards her. She had kept averting her gaze, as though she feared her.

Bai Qingqing wondered if Curtis had taught her a lesson. But that couldn’t be it. She and Wang Cuiniu hadn’t had any intense encounters. If Curtis were to teach anyone a lesson, it would be Zhang Xin.

Shaking her head, Bai Qingqing couldn’t be bothered to ponder over that anymore. It would be fine so long as it didn’t affect her.

Today’s fourth-period lesson was physical education. Perhaps because the PE teacher liked basketball, he would teach them to play basketball during every PE class.

After the basic techniques training, in the remaining half of the class, the students were free to play by themselves.

The boys loved playing basketball during the fourth-period class in the afternoon because the PE teacher was very easygoing. He would allow them to play a little longer even after the class ended so long as the PE rep returned the basketball afterward. As such, they could play for a long time.
