She simply couldn't bear to see her best friend being bullied and provoked.

"Yanyu, don't be impulsive. Don't waste your time on her. I'll teach her a lesson after the welcome party!"

Yan Yinran was never one to be trifled with before, and she certainly won't be now.

Ji Yumeng left triumphantly, glancing at them with disdain and a mocking smirk.

"But she's bullied you so many times! Isn't it just envy, jealousy, and hatred? She's not as good as you, she doesn't have the ability, so all she can do is resort to such despicable tricks!"

Wei Yanyu was indignant, and Yan Yinran felt wronged; she was angry on Yan Yanran's behalf.

"It's okay, it's okay! Don't get angry over someone who's not worth it. Let's practice quickly and improve our skills. Tonight, let's practice 'The Beauty' a lot more!"

"The Beauty" was the play she and Wei Yanyu chose to perform at the freshman welcome party, a piece decided by a vote of the entire class.

The two people need to work together seamlessly; there's really no time to waste, and it's not easy to jump in such a short time.

"Uh-huh."

Wei Yanyu had no choice but to nod obediently and practice alongside her to prevent Ji Yumeng from causing trouble again.

next day

When Yan Xiluo woke up, she felt as if her whole body had been pampered with sticks, and she was so sore that she couldn't get up, making her want to cry but having no tears.

That bastard really went too far. She thought the most painful time was right after it ended last night, but she didn't expect that waking up would be the worst.

How am I supposed to go back to China looking like this...? She suddenly felt a surge of anger and wanted to cry.

She's having trouble even getting up; she needs to use the restroom...

She had no choice but to nudge the sleeping man next to her.

“A-Yan”.

Yan Xiluo called softly, her voice hoarse and her throat dry. How desperately she must have screamed last night to be like this...

She really did have the intention to kill!

"Um?"

Lan Jingyan struggled to open his eyes and saw Yan Xiluo's face full of anger, which startled him so much that he quickly sat up.

When did he upset her baby again?

Could it be that he was restless in his sleep, kicking and hitting people randomly?

"I need to drink water and go to the toilet."

Yan Xiluo shifted her body painfully, unable to get up.

Lan Jingyan instantly understood, quickly grabbed the water from the bedside table, helped Yan Xiluo up, held her in his arms, and fed her water.

After she had drunk her fill, I carried her to the bathroom.

"It's all your fault! How am I supposed to go back home like this? My whole body feels like I've been beaten up..."

Unable to move and unable to speak, she suddenly choked.

"Then get some rest before you go back, okay?"

It doesn't matter where you are, it's all the same whether you're enjoying time together as a couple.

"If you do this again, I won't talk to you anymore."

Yan Xiluo glanced at the mirror unintentionally and saw a noticeable red mark on her neck and chest. She had already seen it last night, but seeing it again today still made her a little angry...

"Are you really angry? Are you angry because you were punished, or because you were bitten?"

Lan Jingyan looked at her warning look and found her pouty lips inexplicably cute, and wanted to do something...

"..."

Yan Xiluo was speechless. She had just summarized it in one sentence; didn't she understand...?

"They're all angry!"

She can't even get out of bed, and you're still not angry? How can she go out and face people like this!

"I understand now, baby, punish me, the kind that's like an eye for an eye."

Lan Jingyan's eyes suddenly drooped, as if she were about to admit her mistake.

"You think you can get away with this? An eye for an eye? You're really scheming!"

An eye for an eye? Should we let last night's experience repeat itself?

“Baby, this is how we’ve always done things.”

Lan Jingyan suddenly realized that this was indeed their way of doing things, and wasn't that how they treated those people?
