Chapter 534: I’ve Given You a Chance, Can You Seize It (2)

"And you still have the nerve to say you’re not laughing at me! So what if I got kicked out? If I can’t stay in that dorm, what right does a country bumpkin like you have to be there? You! Get out of that room. Now!"

Plenty of people had seen Cao Yuqing leave dorm 304, and she didn’t want to become a laughingstock. If Wang Chunhua also left, then at least there would be someone to take her place at the very bottom.

"No, I don’t want to."

Wang Chunhua shook her head vigorously. Of course she didn’t want to leave dorm 304. She liked her roommates. Even though she was aware of the gap between them, she knew they didn’t look down on her, and she wanted to be with them.

"You don’t want to? Well, I’m going to make you. Agree to move out. If you don’t, you’re not leaving this grove today."

"I don’t want to! You can’t do this to me. They... when they see I haven’t come back, they’ll definitely realize something is wrong."

"Hmph. Hilarious. Country bumpkin, who do you think you are? You think you’re really that important to them? You’ve only known each other for a day. Do you honestly believe they’ll come looking for you? For all you know, they haven’t given you a second thought! After all, you’re just a country bumpkin."

Cao Yuqing stepped closer to Wang Chunhua. As she spoke, she reached out and patted Wang Chunhua’s cheek threateningly.

"No, they’re not like that! They’re definitely not the kind of people you say they are!"

Wang Chunhua shouted, her voice louder than it had been before. But even as she said the words, deep down, she had no confidence.

She was insecure, and she knew she couldn’t compare to them. There were even moments when she felt that perhaps Cao Yuqing was right. ’They probably won’t even think of me at all!’

But in her heart, Wang Chunhua was still desperately hoping that right now, they would realize she hadn’t returned and come looking for her.

"Yuqing, don’t you think we’re going a little too far?"

Jiang Jiajia, who was with Cao Yuqing, felt a pang of pity as she looked at Wang Chunhua. After all, she had no grudge against Wang Chunhua at all; she was only here because Cao Yuqing had asked her to come.

After Jiang Jiajia said this, the others standing nearby looked at Cao Yuqing and nodded in agreement. Being arrogant was one thing, but the girl they were bullying in front of them looked far too fragile.

Even they were starting to feel a little bad about bullying her.

"What’s so excessive? Besides, I haven’t even laid a hand on her yet!"

Cao Yuqing retorted without a second thought. She wasn’t about to back down just because of a few words from them. They might think Wang Chunhua was innocent, but she certainly didn’t.

Wang Chunhua was roommates with Shen Nian and her friends; in Cao Yuqing’s eyes, that made her anything but innocent!

"Lay a hand on her? Cao Yuqing, what exactly do you plan on doing?"

When Shen Nian heard Wang Chunhua’s frightened voice, she quickened her pace. Upon hearing Cao Yuqing’s last words, she strode right up to her, her gaze uncharacteristically forceful.

As Shen Nian quickened her pace, Qi Yunzhi and Chu Lingxiu followed suit, arriving at almost the same time.

While Shen Nian was speaking, Chu Lingxiu also frowned, staring at Cao Yuqing alongside her. Qi Yunzhi, meanwhile, went over to Wang Chunhua’s side to comfort her.

"You... you all... how did you get here?"

Wang Chunhua had been hoping they would come, but there was a world of difference between hoping and actually seeing them arrive for her sake.
