Suddenly, Cheng Yiyi slipped and fell backward, hitting her head hard on the ground.
Intense pain instantly spread throughout his head, and his vision became increasingly blurry.
Fang Minjing rushed over and tried to help her.
Just then, Cheng Yiyi vaguely saw a fruit knife dangling precariously from the bed.
She was terrified and quickly pushed Fang Minjing away.
In that instant, the knife fell straight down from the bed, almost grazing Fang Minjing's neck.
This knife is quite heavy. Although the bed isn't high, if it's aimed directly at a soft spot on a person's body, such as the neck, it could be fatal.
Once the knife was in place and Fang Minjing was pushed away, the tip of the knife was pointing directly at Cheng Yiyi's neck.
The incident happened in just two seconds, and Cheng Yiyi didn't have time to react, but the paper figure moved.
Whether it moved on its own or Cheng Yiyi accidentally bumped into it, it suddenly fell onto Cheng Yiyi.
The knife pierced the paper figure's heart, and blood seeped from the snow-white paper.
Fang Minjing screamed in fright and quickly moved the paper figure away:
"Cheng Yiyi, Cheng Yiyi, are you alright?!"
"Help! Someone help me!!"
The hands of the watch were at exactly 8:51.
Lu Qing and the others, who had just returned from evening self-study, heard the commotion and rushed over.
Lu Qing hurriedly helped the unconscious Cheng Yiyi up and checked her body.
Fortunately, she only fainted; although the wound on her neck was bleeding, it did not damage any arteries.
Looking at Fang Minjing, who was pale with fright, and the lifeless paper figure, Lu Qing roughly guessed what had happened.
Unexpected events occurred frequently, but fortunately, Cheng Yiyi managed to escape this ordeal.
The ambulance arrived quickly and took Fang Minjing and Cheng Yiyi away. Neither of them was seriously injured, and they returned the next day.
Cheng Yiyi had a good night's sleep at the hospital and arrived at the playground refreshed the next morning to join the training.
She specially bought Häagen-Dazs ice cream for Lu Qing and kept it cold in a styrofoam box with ice.
As soon as the instructor called for a break, she would give Lu Qing various flavors of Häagen-Dazs ice cream.
"Take all of these, thank you Master Lu for saving my life!"
Lu Qing didn't stand on ceremony. After giving two to Yang Xiwen and Leng Wei, he kept the rest.
"By the way! How's Teacher Fang? She was really scared last night!" Lu Qing asked while eating.
Cheng Yiyi: "She's fine. She brought it back to me this morning."
"Didn't she ask anything?" Yang Xiwen asked, puzzled.
Cheng Yiyi nodded. Although she was also puzzled as to why Fang Minjing hadn't asked anything, she knew it was best not to ask, since she didn't know how to explain such a thing.
As they were talking, Gu Fei walked over and brought a large box of chilled watermelon:
"Qingqing, eat some watermelon!"
Lu Qing's eyes lit up: "Feifei, where did you get this watermelon?"
Gu Fei raised an eyebrow and smiled, "My brother just had the driver bring it over. He was in a hurry to get to work, so he didn't come over."
Lu Qing took a bite of watermelon, then a bite of ice cream. Double the coolness, double the sweetness, it felt wonderful.
"You should eat with us too!"
Gu Fei invited Lu Qing's three roommates to join her.
"Thanks!"
After thanking them, the three of them joined in the meal.
Gu Fei's training formation was right next to Lu Qing's. Her three roommates watched as she took an entire chilled watermelon and gave it to Lu Qing, without sharing a single bite with them.
Sensing the unfriendly gaze, Lu Qing couldn't help but look over.
"Are those your roommates?" Lu Qing asked Gu Fei.
Gu Fei turned her head and looked at her: "Yeah! What's wrong?"
“They seem to really want to eat watermelon too, why don’t you share some with them?” Lu Qing said.
Gu Fei shook her head: "No need! This melon was given to you by my brother. You should eat it first. Don't worry about them."
“You’re all in the same dorm. Whether you separate or not is your own business, but aren’t you afraid of being isolated by them?” Yang Xiwen asked.
Gu Fei smiled and said, "I'm not afraid!"
She grew up isolated, witnessed the coldness of human relationships, and had enough of being looked down upon. She had long understood the ways of the world.
Don't force yourself to fit into someone else's circle; it's not worth it.
“I’m not the same kind of person as them, there’s no need for me to compromise myself to please them,” Gu Fei said with a smile.
Lu Qing asked, puzzled, "How can you tell that you're not the same kind of person as them?"
"Well... for example, the three of them like to arrive at the playground right on time, while I like to arrive early; also, they like to drink and sing karaoke, and they are perfunctory in their studies, while I like to read, study, and do anything that can make me stronger; and they like to stay up late playing games, while I have a very regular schedule and never touch games."
Gu Fei shrugged helplessly: "I'm not happy acting with them. I'd rather be alone!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Leng Wei patted her shoulder heavily, her eyes full of admiration, and said:
Wow! You're so cool! I love your kind of lone wolf attitude, you don't care what others think!
"I can't be as carefree as you. If the three of them team up and refuse to play with me, I'll get emo!"
Leng Wei looked at the other three with a pitiful expression.
After spending a few days together, they all understood Leng Wei's personality.
Although his surname is Leng (meaning "cold"), he is not cold at all. He is loud and boisterous, just like a sparrow, and can't stay still for a moment.
If we really don't talk to her, she might actually develop depression.
Yang Xiwen ruffled the tuft of hair on Leng Wei's head and joked:
"Are you really that scared? Then treat us to hot pot tonight, or we'll ostracize you tomorrow!"
Leng Wei replied with a smile, "Okay, okay! But after we have hot pot, I'll have to trouble you guys to keep an eye on the flower pots in the dorm this month!"
Cheng Yiyi asked, puzzled, "Why?"
"Why? Because she's going to steal dirt to eat!" Yang Xiwen said with a smile.
Realizing what had happened, Cheng Yiyi couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst into laughter:
"Alright, alright! To stop you from stealing dirt, I'll treat you to hot pot tonight!"
"Gu Fei, come along too! With Lu Qing around, you probably won't feel comfortable!" Cheng Yiyi asked with a smile.
Gu Fei smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
Whether it was out of affection for the house and its inhabitants, or because these three individuals genuinely had better personalities, Gu Fei was still willing to spend time with them.
Lu Qing glanced at Gu Fei, then at her three roommates in the distance.
Judging from their appearances, Gu Fei should indeed avoid contact with them.
Among the three, the blonde girl is probably the most assertive, comes from a wealthy family, and is the one who dominates the conversation.
He's quite tall and looks very assertive, but he's actually all bark and no bite; he's indecisive and a fence-sitter.
The last one was a short, chubby girl with black-rimmed glasses. She seemed gentle, but actually she was a hidden devil.
The blonde girl and the tall girl probably knew each other earlier, as they talked more, and the short, chubby girl usually couldn't get a word in edgewise.
After analyzing the situation, Lu Qing couldn't help but feel sorry for Gu Fei.
She's already a bit withdrawn, and with a group of roommates like this, she's likely to face even more unpleasantness in the future.
