"Miss, are you alright?" Lu Qing asked with a smile.
Zhu Yuting looked down at the dozen or so steps below and turned pale with fright.
Feng Jie then came to his senses and quickly pulled Zhu Yuting back:
Are you alright?
The worry on his face was genuine; he truly cared about Zhu Yuting.
Zhu Yuting hugged Feng Jie and burst into tears.
"Feng Jie, I'm sorry! I... I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I always get angry at you for no reason."
Feng Jie and Zhu Yuting have been together since high school, for more than four years, and their relationship has always been very good.
But in recent months, she has been inexplicably suspicious that Feng Jie is cheating on her, and she gets angry over the smallest things, even proposing to break up.
At first, Feng Jie thought she was just throwing a tantrum and that he could coax her into it.
But it got more and more outrageous as time went on. Zhu Yuting not only got jealous of strange girls, but she even got jealous of Feng Jie's older sister.
Feng Jie was exhausted both physically and mentally by her, and their relationship was no longer as good as before.
Seeing Zhu Yuting crying like this, Feng Jie pursed his lips and said with reluctance:
"How about we separate for a while? Let's both calm down, okay?"
Zhu Yuting panicked and quickly grabbed Feng Jie's hand:
"What do you mean? Are you breaking up with me?"
Feng Jie was also reluctant to let go, but now he and Zhu Yuting were both caught in a cycle of self-destruction, which was not a healthy relationship.
It's better to separate than to torment each other.
"sorry!"
Feng Jie grasped Zhu Yuting's wrist and slowly removed her hand from his body.
The couple's grief moved everyone present; however, an untimely voice broke the atmosphere.
"Um... you two can break up a little later, I have something I want to say, is that okay?"
Feng Jie and Zhu Yuting both looked at Lu Qing.
Lu Qing ran up to the two men with a grin, squatted down, and examined their faces:
"Judging from your appearances, you two are a match made in heaven. You should grow old together in harmony, from school uniforms to wedding dresses."
"When there are problems in a relationship, there must be external influences."
"Show me your hand!"
Lu Qing's charlatan-like demeanor left Feng Jie and Zhu Yuting completely bewildered.
Seeing that they were stunned and didn't speak, Lu Qing didn't stand on ceremony and took it as a yes, taking Zhu Yuting's hand to look at it.
"Huh? Why is there a divorce curse line on this love line?"
Zhu Yuting subconsciously looked at her palm, and there was indeed a small red mark that had appeared out of nowhere.
But she didn't quite believe Lu Qing's talk of a "divorce curse."
"Junior, I misunderstood what happened just now, and I apologize to you."
"We'll handle things between Feng Jie and me ourselves; it's none of your business."
Zhu Yuting still harbored a strange hostility towards Lu Qing, but she wasn't as manic as she was now.
She didn't want Lu Qing's help, and Lu Qing didn't press the matter, but simply whispered in her ear:
"Someone wants to ruin your marriage, so they planted a divorce curse on you. If you don't believe me, go back to your dorm and look southeast. You'll definitely find something there."
After saying that, Lu Qing pushed her suitcase and left.
Although Zhu Yuting didn't believe it, Lu Qing's words planted a seed of doubt in her mind.
She and Feng Jie have temporarily broken up.
Back in her dorm, Zhu Yuting's mind was filled with Lu Qing's words.
Today is orientation day, and she's all alone in the dorm; it's eerily quiet.
She walked towards the southeast direction of the dormitory as if possessed.
Her roommate's bed is to the southeast, and she has a better relationship with this roommate than with the other two.
When she recently had a falling out with Feng Jie, this roommate was always there for her and comforted her.
After arriving at the bedside, Zhu Yuting looked her up and down, and suddenly her gaze fell on a small piece of strange yellow fabric peeking out from the cabinet.
The fabric has red markings, which looks rather eerie.
Zhu Yuting carefully squatted down, her heart in her throat, her breath almost stopping.
Just as her hand was about to touch the cabinet, the door suddenly opened.
Startled, Zhu Yuting quickly stood up and turned around to see her roommate Zhao Zhen standing at the door.
"Yuting, what are you doing by my bedside?" Zhao Zhen asked.
Zhu Yuting shook her head repeatedly, lowering her head somewhat guiltily as she answered:
"It's okay! I left my nail clippers here, can you get them for me?"
Zhao Zhen seemed to have no suspicion, stepped forward, and grabbed Zhu Yuting's arm, saying indignantly:
"I heard what happened downstairs just now. Feng Jie is such a jerk. He actually went to flirt with girls during the freshman orientation."
"I told you he was a bad guy, you should have listened to me and broken up with him sooner!"
Zhu Yuting's eyes flickered slightly: "Zhao Zhen, Feng Jie and that junior should be fine. Don't you think I went too far?"
"How could that be!" Zhao Zhen put her arm around Zhu Yuting's shoulder, smiling as she comforted her.
"You, Zhu Yuting, are the most beautiful girl in the department. If Feng Jie doesn't cherish you, other men will."
"That senior who pursued you last time, he's a rich second-generation, and he's pretty good-looking too. He even told me yesterday that he wanted to ask you out to dinner!"
Zhu Yuting frowned slightly: "You seem to know that person very well?"
Zhao Zhen's expression changed slightly, and she quickly said:
"We're not close! How are we close? He just wanted to pursue you, but you didn't agree, so he wanted to find out about you from me."
Zhu Yuting had already begun to have doubts, but she didn't show it on her face.
After a while, she secretly turned on her phone to record while Zhao Zhen wasn't paying attention, and placed it in a hidden spot facing Zhao Zhen's bed before going into the bathroom.
She stayed in the bathroom for a full ten minutes before coming out.
When she came out, Zhao Zhen was still sitting in her chair watching videos, as if nothing had happened.
Zhu Yuting quietly retrieved her phone and then used the excuse of going out to fetch water to watch from a secluded spot.
After opening the video, her breathing trembled with nervousness.
In the video, Zhao Zhen initially glanced towards the bathroom from time to time, as if trying to confirm whether Zhu Yuting had come out.
Then, she carefully opened the cabinet and took out a yellow cloth bag.
The camera captured the scene clearly, showing a cloth covered in dense, eerie symbols painted with red paint, and inside the cloth was a strand of hair and a piece of paper.
Zhu Yuting recognized the hair; it was a strand that had broken off when Zhao Zhen had bleached her hair before.
Zhao Zhen took the item out and examined it, then hid it in a shoebox under the table.
After doing all this, she glanced at the bathroom to make sure Zhu Yuting hadn't come out, a smug smile appearing on her face.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuting would be a fool if she still couldn't figure out the problem.
Looking back on recent events, it seemed as if Zhao Zhen had instigated every argument she had with Feng Jie, and afterwards she would desperately smear Feng Jie and persuade her to break up with him.
If Zhu Yuting hadn't been so reluctant to let go, she probably would have broken up with Feng Jie long ago and wouldn't have waited until now.
Thinking of the "divorce curse" that Lu Qing mentioned, she hurriedly inquired about Lu Qing's dormitory.
At this moment, Lu Qing is busy making her bed in the dormitory.
But after she spent ages making the bed, it still looked like a doghouse, with the sheets, blankets, and pillows all rolled up together and impossible to separate.
Lu Qing was exhausted and covered in sweat. Looking at her doghouse, she pouted and almost cried.
At this moment, she desperately needs a master's wife!
When they were on the mountain, her master's wife always made up her bed; she had never done anything like that before.
It looks complicated, but when you actually try it yourself, you'll realize how difficult it really is.
Just as Lu Qing was worrying about how to clean up, Zhu Yuting rushed in.
She looked up at Lu Qing, panting, "You...you...can you...help me?"
Lu Qing looked at her doghouse with a bitter face: "Sister, can you help me?"
