Su Tang stood silently beside her bed.

After careful observation, she knew very well that Zhao Yan was much more difficult to deal with than Qiao Lin.

Qiao Lin is the kind of idiot who wears "I'm a young lady, you all have to listen to me" on her face. Her wickedness is obvious and can be seen through at a glance.

Zhao Yan, on the other hand, is a typical shrewd social climber. She knows how to manipulate people and how to present herself effectively.

Her words just now, seemingly an act of helping those in need, were actually an attempt to win people's hearts and establish her own authority.

She uses "justice" as a weapon and "helping" as a bargaining chip. This kind of person is far more dangerous than a straightforward, clueless person like Qiao Lin.

Sure enough, the next second, Zhao Yan's true colors were revealed.

Zhao Yan gave Zhou Zhihui a wink, and Zhou Zhihui immediately understood.

Zhou Zhihui's eyes darted around, and he said to Wang Xiaoya with a smile, "Hey, little sister, what's the use of just saying thank you? You have to do something! I think your bed is pretty good, by the window, and it's quiet. It's perfect for Sister Yanzi to sleep in, don't you think?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoya's gratitude froze instantly.

She...she hadn't expected the other party to make this request.

This bed was secured for her by Su An; it was one of the best spots in the entire dormitory, and most importantly, it allowed her to sit next to Su Tang. She loved it.

But Sister Yanzi just helped her...

Wang Xiaoya was speechless for a moment, and looked at Su Tang with a pleading look in her eyes.

Chen Xiaocao was also stunned. She was kind and grateful, and felt that Zhao Yan had helped them, so it seemed only right that she give up a bed for her.

But something felt off. They had earned these beds by being the first to arrive, so why should they have to give them up? She began to struggle internally.

Zhao Yan didn't speak, but looked at Su Tang and the other three with a smile through her spirited eyes.

Her eyes shone with confidence. In her mind, she had just staged a "hero saves the damsel in distress" performance, and these rural girls, who clearly had no background, would surely be grateful to her and obey her every word. Wasn't it only natural that she give up a bed for them?

She had even planned that once they obediently gave up their beds, she would generously offer to take care of them from then on.

The air in the entire dormitory seemed to freeze once again.

All eyes were focused on Su Tang.

Because everyone could see that among these four rural girls, the one who truly made the decisions was this beautiful girl who hadn't said much from beginning to end, yet was frighteningly calm.

Su Tang felt everyone's gaze.

She slowly raised her eyes, her clear gaze calmly meeting Zhao Yan's eyes.

She didn't look at Wang Xiaoya, nor did she pay attention to Sun Erniu; she simply spoke in a calm tone.

Why should we allow it?
