Chapter 94 - Locked in the Cubicle

The school’s spiral staircase was very long. Even though Jiang Xue’er had mentally prepared herself in advance, she still fell quite badly.

The students who were watching the commotion ran over one after another and helped Jiang Xue’er stand up, preparing to send her to the infirmary.

Qu Xiao did not expect that Jiang Xue’er’s hatred for her ran so deep that she was willing to take such a risk to slander her.

Jiang Xue’er smiled at her across the students. Her eyes were filled with hatred and viciousness.

The news of Qu Xiao deliberately pushing Jiang Xue’er down the stairs quickly spread throughout the school. The students who had grown close to Qu Xiao these few days also began to avoid her.

Because of this matter, Qu Xiao became isolated in school.

Qu Qi missed a great opportunity to witness Jiang Xue’er and Qu Xiao’s argument because she had taken a leave of absence for half a day. She could only hear about it from her friends.

During the class break, Qu Qi deliberately said loudly in class, “Qu Xiao is not to blame for what happened today.”

“She used to live in the countryside, so she doesn’t know our way. Jiang Xue’er wanted to help her adapt to our environment as soon as possible, but Qu Xiao seemed to have misunderstood her. When she still lived with our family, she already had issues with Jiang Xue’er...”

Qu Qi took advantage of Qu Xiao’s absence to slander her.

“Actually, I’m quite worried. What if my sister can’t control herself and makes a move on me? School is very important to her. After all, she didn’t have the opportunity to go to school in the past. She could only pick up books that were thrown away by others in the countryside.”

In the classroom, when they heard Qu Qi’s exaggerated narration, the students’ impression of Qu Xiao suddenly became worse.

When Qu Xiao came back, she found that everyone was staring at her with strange eyes, while Qu Qi raised her chin proudly.

“Prepare yourself.”

Qu Qi muttered in her heart. She raised her eyes slightly and looked at Qu Xiao. “The game has just begun!”

“Qi, during PE class, should we...”

Li Xuan, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly turned around and whispered something to Qu Qi. Both of them revealed sinister smiles at the same time.

Before PE class, Qu Xiao realized that her indoor sports shoes were a little dirty. She took them to the bathroom to clean them. The water pressure of the faucets were not strong enough, so Qu Xiao had to come to a cubicle to clean them.

Li Xuan followed Qu Xiao to the bathroom. She quietly bent down and locked the door of the cubicle as fast as she could.

Bang! Qu Xiao heard the sound of the door closing and turned around. She realized that no matter how hard she tried, she could not push it open.

Li Xuan played with the key in her hand proudly and said to Qu Xiao who was inside, “Slowly reflect on yourself in there”

“This is for offending someone you shouldn’t have offended! We’re having PE now. No one will come to save you...”

Li Xuan left after saying that. Qu Xiao raised her head to look at the height of the partition. It would be hard for her to jump over the partition.

Qu Xiao’s gaze fell on the locked door. She took off her hairpin and twisted it into a long straight iron wire.

She squatted down, her eyes parallel to the lock. Qu Xiao used the iron wire to pry open the lock.

Half a minute later, accompanied by a clicking sound, Qu Xiao gently twisted the door handle and successfully escaped.

She turned back to look at the door of the cubicle, and a trace of anger flashed past her eyes. She took her cleaned indoor sports shoes and rushed to the basketball hall.

In the basketball hall, the PE teacher was taking attendance.

Their form teacher, Miss Zhang, happened to pass by. Seeing that Qu Xiao was not with her classmates, she was a little worried.

“Here!”

Qu Xiao ran over in a hurry, her ponytail swaying gently.

When Qu Qi and Li Xuan saw her, their eyes widened in shock at the same time. How did she escape?

When Miss Zhang heard about Jiang Xue’er’s matter, she subconsciously believed that Qu Xiao would never have done that. She scanned the students present with her eyes and found that Li Xuan had her head lowered guiltily. She lowered her voice and said to Qu Xiao, “Did someone bully you?”

“You can tell me. I will help you deal with it.”

Qu Xiao raised a gentle smile and shook her head gently. “I was busy cleaning my shoes, so I was late. I won’t be late next time.”

“Thank you for your concern, teacher!”

Miss Zhang left the basketball hall suspiciously. Li Xuan, on the other hand, heaved a sigh of relief as she hugged a basketball. She stood under the basketball hoop and stared at Qu Xiao with a contemptuous expression. “Acting all big... You don’t even dare to tell the truth!”

“We’d better not see you again. Otherwise, I’ll lock you in the bathroom again!”

“Let’s see if you can still escape then!”

After throwing the basketball at Qu Xiao, Li Xuan threatened by her ear as she pretended to pick up the basketball.
