Ever since she discovered a man coming out of the next room early in the morning, Qin Xue had been preoccupied with something, unable to eat or sleep properly.

She went back to her room early after dinner, not even planning to get involved in the conflict between Li Yumei and Zhao Hu.

After the other female educated youths finished washing up and went back to their rooms to lie down, Qin Xue remained lying still, seemingly fast asleep.

Just as everyone finished tidying up and was about to fall asleep, Qin Xue started causing trouble.

"No, Zhou Yue, you can't hit me. I didn't say anything, I really didn't say anything."

Upon hearing this, everyone's drowsiness vanished.

"Qin Xue, Qin Xue."

Zhang Zhaodi gently nudged the person next to her, but dared not make too big a move. She was just a poor, penniless and powerless woman, and she couldn't afford to offend any of these people.

But her strength was no match for Qin Xue, who was pretending to be asleep.

"Could she be talking in her sleep?"

Li Yumei looked at Qin Xue and said uncertainly.

Lin Qingqing didn't say anything, but only she knew how much she wanted Qin Xue to say something even more sensational.

Gu An'an and Zhou Yue are her formidable rivals. If they are destroyed, which female educated youth in this educated youth compound will dare to climb over her?

Actually, it wasn't just her; the other three were all more or less watching the show.

Qin Xue did not disappoint them; while shouting, she also waved her hands haphazardly as if to defend herself.

"I didn't say anything, I really didn't say anything. I know it's not good for a man to come out of your yard so early in the morning, but he ran fast and I didn't see who it was, so I didn't dare to say anything."

Lin Qingqing and the other two exchanged glances, all seeing shock in each other's eyes.

Was there a man coming out of the neighbor's yard early this morning? Or did he run away? Is it true?

He wanted to wake Qin Xue up to ask her what was going on, but Qin Xue was pretending to be asleep, so how could he wake her up so easily?

"Is she talking nonsense or did she really see it?"

Lin Qingqing didn't speak, clutching the corner of the blanket without saying a word.

In the darkness, Zhang Zhaodi, who was timid and submissive during the day, looked at the dark ceiling with a sharp glint in her eyes.

After waiting for a long time without hearing Lin Qingqing speak, Zhang Zhaodi held back for a while, but finally couldn't help but say, "My mother said that what you think about during the day, you dream about at night."

After saying that, she felt that her words did not fit her persona, so she immediately added a few sentences: "These are the words my mother said. I did not doubt Gu Zhiqing and Zhou Zhiqing."

Lin Qingqing silently curled the corners of her lips and continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb. She had long known that there was no one easy to deal with in this dormitory, and today's observation proved it to be true.

Not receiving a response, Li Yumei didn't care, but she was extremely conflicted.

She desperately wanted revenge, to drag Gu An'an and Zhou Yue into the mire, and see how they could still be so arrogant and domineering towards her.

But when she thought of Gu An'an's cold, emotionless eyes, she couldn't help but want to back down.

If people find out that I'm the one who leaked this information, will Gu An'an come after me? Will she kill me?

Two little figures in my head were arguing until the wee hours of the morning before I finally fell into a deep sleep.

I hadn't slept for two hours when I was woken up by noises from next door. When I looked up, I saw that I wasn't the only one with dark circles under my eyes, and I immediately felt relieved.

"Qin Xue, what did you mean by what you said last night?"

Qin Xue looked puzzled. "Last night? What did you say?"

Li Yumei pointed to the room next door, "Those two people."

Qin Xue covered her mouth in a second, her face full of horror and fear, "I... I was talking in my sleep?"

Li Yumei nodded.

"I didn't see anything when I got up to use the bathroom yesterday. Yes, I didn't see anything."

Although it was all denial, they said everything that should and shouldn't have been said.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Li Yumei's eyes lit up, and she went out for a stroll after breakfast.

"What did you say? A man came out of Gu Zhiqing and Zhou Zhiqing's room early in the morning?"

Li Yumei set her sights on the most troublesome family in the village. When she saw the old woman from that family come out to gather firewood, she immediately started talking to herself.

She had achieved her goal. No sooner had she finished speaking than a head popped out from the side, and the sound was even louder.

"Aunt Chunhua, what are you doing here?"

Qin Xue had just finished her performance when Li Yumei came to perform here.

"This is my home, why can't I stay here? Let's not talk about this anymore. What did you just say? A man came out of Gu Zhiqing and Zhou Zhiqing's room? Who was it? Did you see clearly?"

Liu Chunhua is a well-known gossip queen in the village. Now that her curiosity has been piqued, she has to ask her all the questions so she can brag to her group of best friends.

"I didn't say that, you misheard me."

Li Yumei made a move to leave, but Liu Chunhua grabbed her arm. "What do you mean? Did you not say anything? Am I deaf?"

Liu Chunhua not only liked to gossip about others, but also relied on having given birth to four sons to act domineeringly and arrogantly in the village.

The village chief had dealt with countless problems for her, but she always listened without changing her ways, and would continue to apologize next time. She was shameless.

Having lived in the village for so long, Li Yumei knew Qin Xue's temperament perfectly well. Fearing that Qin Xue might harm her, she immediately sold her out.

"I didn't see it. It was Qin, the new educated youth, who said that she saw a man rushing out of the neighboring yard when she got up to go to the toilet in the morning."

Liu Chunhua's eyes, which appeared small due to her drooping eyelids, widened instantly, revealing a hint of excitement. "Really?"

Li Yumei nodded, "I wouldn't dare to lie."

After saying that, fearing that the blame would fall on her, she immediately added, "But I think Qin Zhiqing must have misjudged. Gu Zhiqing and Zhou Zhiqing are not that kind of people. They are so rich that they don't need to rely on men to live."

Liu Chunhua only wanted to hear what she wanted to hear, and she didn't want to hear a single word of what Li Yumei said next.
