The five roommates looked at Ye Jian with star-shaped eyes⦠with a smack on the basketball, she hit someone in the face and made him bleed. How badass was that?
Li Qian was about to return Ye Jianâs textbook to her, but she kept holding onto them. She glanced at her hands and asked with a soft voice: âYou⦠does it hurt? It must hurt quite a bit. Should we go back to the dorm and soak them in hot water?â
It must hurt, since that was a basketball and not a volleyball.
âIâm fine. I didnât overthink it when I smacked it. I just wanted to return the ball, and I never intended to make someone bleed.â Ye Jian explained while laughing. Receiving the textbooks that were passed to her, she caught Ye Ying and another girl walking towards them, shrouded by a dense atmosphere, from the corners of her eyes.
At this time, the sky had already slightly darkened. The street lights had been turned on and were lighting the way. While the warm yellow light remained on the faces of the duo, it seemed like a layer of stain that cannot be scraped away, making the duoâs complexion appear gloomy and seem to carry ruthless energy around.
The basketball stadium was located in the corner of the school, so there werenât many street lights around. Ye Jianâs group just happened to stand in a darker area. Both Ye Ying and Yao Jing, who had just walked out, had their thoughts to deal with, so they hadnât noticed the girls in the meantime.
âIâve never thought that sister of yours had tricks up her sleeves, Ye Ying. Why didnât you remind me beforehand?â Yao Jing walked at a fast pace. Compared to that of Ye Yingâs. Who had chased after her, there was a layer of annoyance hidden behind her eyes.
Why canât she take care of small things like this! In the end, Yang Heng had to step in to clean up their mess!
Ye Ying, who was at the back, could only feel depressed from hearing those words. Itâs the mess that she had stirred up herself, and now sheâs blaming me for not reminding her? What am I supposed to remind her about? Iâve objected to doing this when we were on the court!
âWhy didnât I remind you? I was already objecting to you at that time, and Yang Heng was also objecting to it!â Although Ye Ying conceded to Yao Jing for everything, but for what happened today on the basketball court, thereâs no way she would continue acknowledging it to her. Itâll make Yao Jing greedy!
Yao Jing stopped walking when she heard those words. She turned around and glared at her, and said while sneering: âHah, so you mean that this is all my fault? Is it my fault? I just wanted to stick up for you! Itâs you who had told us that your sister was bullying you! If you hadnât said that, do you think Iâd stick up for you?â
In the end, all mistakes were committed by others. They had nothing to do with her!
Even if she did make a mistake, there were thousands upon thousands of excuses she used to defend herself. Ultimately, it was still someone elseâs fault. If someone didnât do something, then she wouldnât do anything either.
Ifâ¦.. then wouldnât happen. That was the equation she used to find her excuses. It applied to anything she had faced.
Ye Ying was always the meticulous one. She felt that Yao Jingâs feelings towards her were starting to feel slightly odd. As to what exactly was wrong, she failed to pin-point it. A dark glimmer flickered in her pupils, and she carefully probed, âArenât you the person that understands Yang Heng the most? Did he ever agreed to things like this in the past?â
âHadnât you realize it just now?â Yao Jing was currently blinded by rage. Ye Ying probed her and let out a lead while not being careful. âIâve been in the same school as him since young. He always hated to do things like this, so it was normal for him to stop it.â
Instantly, Ye Ying had understood where that odd feeling Yao Jing had against her was coming from. As it turns out, sheâs attracted to Yang Heng.
She pursed her lips and smiled, âLook at you. Even though youâre so familiar with him, but youâve said those words to Luo Ran in front of him. How about this. When Yang Heng comes out, Iâll explain it to him and say itâs because I asked you, and so you wanted Luo Ran to stick up for me and help me vent.â
âYou should have done this when that had happened!â Yao Jing squinted at her, and her mood instantly got better. She hugged Ye Yingâs arm and lifted her chin. âI know youâre the best; youâre so nice. I think Yang Heng would write a letter to you in no time!â
