Chapter 3 I've wanted to beat you up for a long time
There was a commotion downstairs in the women's dormitory.
Seeing Shen Ci coming out, the students watching consciously made way for her, and all their eyes fell on her.
In HKUST, Li Xiao is quite famous because of his family background, but Chen Ci is not much behind.
She is beautiful and smart. When she reported as a freshman, her photo was posted on the campus forum, which caused quite a stir online. She was hailed as the new pure goddess by the boys in the University of Science and Technology of China.
Many boys from various departments of the school tried every means to get close to her and launched a fierce offensive against her. Li Xiao was one of them.
Shen Ci nodded. The scene of that day was still vivid in her mind. That day, Li Xiao was just like today, waiting downstairs of the female dormitory with a bouquet of roses in his hand. Even the onlookers were almost the same group of people.
Seeing Shen Ci appear, Li Xiao went forward with joy on his face.
“Chen Ci, I’m sorry. I apologize to you for what my mother did today. Please don’t be angry.”
Chen Ci raised his hand expressionlessly, and the black garbage bag that was stuffed full of garbage enlarged in front of Li Xiao's eyes, and then hit him directly in the face.
The weight of the huge rose bouquet caught Li Xiao off guard, and the flowers and garbage bag all fell to the ground.
Everyone stared at this, and their originally diverse looks turned into shock at this moment.
There was also some doubt mixed with the shock.
"What is this Shen Ci doing?"
"Did the two of them have a fight? Chen Ci's expression doesn't look right!"
"Are you breaking up? You've only been dating for less than half a year, right?"
Whispers began to rise, and everyone began to speculate what had happened between the two.
With this action just now, Chen Ci did not give Li Xiao any face at all. Being watched by so many people, Li Xiao felt a little embarrassed.
But he still endured it. Seeing that Chen Ci was about to leave without saying anything, he didn't bother to pick up the things on the ground. He caught up with her and took her hand. He got close to her and whispered in a low voice: "You are not really disappointed in me because of what happened last time, are you?"
"I was really too nervous that time. Can you give me another chance? I will definitely perform better next time!"
Chen Ci pushed him away, then looked at Li Xiao and raised the corners of his lips to sneer with extreme disdain.
Her eyebrows, expression, and even the sneer were full of ridicule and contempt.
He clearly didn't say a word, yet it seemed like he said everything.
Li Xiao frowned angrily and impatiently, feeling even more confused.
What does she mean?
However, Chen Ci did it on purpose. She wanted to make Li Xiao feel consumed by internal friction, to keep Li Xiao guessing, and to make Li Xiao torture himself.
Just like how he treated her back then, he stole her paper and published it under his name without any explanation. Three years of love was finally turned into a cold red exclamation mark, which made her never feel any love for anyone else in her life.
She no longer believes in love.
Shen Ci walked into the dormitory building without looking back. The onlookers didn't understand what was going on, but they also felt that the two seemed to be done.
Li Xiao clenched his hands tightly, turned around and squatted down to pick up the fallen roses and the garbage bag. His face gradually became gloomy in the shadows, and his eyes flickered slightly, obscure and difficult to understand.
"Chen Ci, you really don't know what's good for you. Li Xiao is such an outstanding boy who is willing to be with you, but you don't know how to cherish him at all."
As soon as she returned to the dormitory, Yu Xinxin leaned against the balcony door with her arms folded across her chest, sneering at Shen Ci.
She couldn't hide the pleasure in her tone. She had been jealous of Chen Ci for a long time. She had always thought she was pretty good-looking since she was a freshman, but when she first saw Chen Ci's face in college, she had already begun to dislike her for no reason.
Relying on his relatively good family background, he would give small favors to the other two roommates and win them over to isolate Chen Ci.
"What does my relationship with him have to do with you?" Chen Ci looked at her coldly, "Do you have to use a spoon to taste the saltiness every time a manure truck passes by your house?"
As he spoke, Shen Ci couldn't help but sneered, walked closer to Xinxin and said, "You don't think that just because I broke up with him, you have a chance, do you?"
"I'm telling you there's no such possibility. Just like you said, with Li Xiao's conditions, even if I don't want him anymore, there are still many girls who like him. It won't even be your turn to be gang-raped!"
Just a few words shattered Yu Xinxin's fragile heart.
Her eyes were bloodshot and she screamed, “Chen Ci, you bitch, I’m going to tear you apart today…”
“Bang!”
A clear slapping sound rang out. Yu Xinxin covered her aching face in disbelief: "You...you dare to hit me?"
Chen Ci looked at her coldly: "I've wanted to hit you for more than a day or two. You should know how much you deserve a slap on your face, right?"
Wang Hou and Lin Shuang were also dumbfounded. They stood there dumbfounded, completely stunned by the aura of Chen Ci at this moment, and forgot to react at all.
The next second, Chen Ci's body suddenly leaned forward, and that lustful and cold face instantly enlarged in front of Xinxin, causing her to subconsciously stagger back two steps and almost scream out.
"From now on, remember to keep your mouth shut in front of me."
Yu Xinxin trembled, because she felt that Shen Ci in front of her was like a different person.
Shen Ci didn't say anything else, but casually pulled out the suitcase in the corner, opened it, and put all the useful things in his position into it.
Finally, he left dormitory 309 without looking back, leaving behind a cold back.
At the most luxurious five-star hotel around HKUST, Shen Ci showed her ID card at the front desk: “An executive king-size bed room, thank you.”
The night shift receptionist was a handsome young man. Seeing that Shen Ci was pretty, he kindly reminded her, "Beautiful ladies, you can book online now. It will be cheaper."
Shen Ci glanced at the retail price on the wall behind him when he heard this. The retail price of the executive king-size bed room was 0.1888 yuan.
Less than two cents.
"No need, just open it for me." Shen Ci was too lazy to do it and just wanted to go back to the room and rest quickly.
The guy at the front desk smiled awkwardly, but still considerately upgraded Shen Ci's room type.
No matter when, being beautiful always has some advantages and gets you some extra treatment.
The executive king room became an executive suite. After entering the room, Shen Ci locked the door and placed a water cup on the door handle, which was a habit she had in her previous life.
Since when, she began to feel extremely insecure, especially in unfamiliar environments.
The bright and clean floor-to-ceiling windows allowed her to overlook the luxurious night view of Longcheng. She took out her mobile phone and opened the "Time and Space Bank" app again, staring at the balance in it without blinking.
After a while, she finally raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.
No matter what the reason is for the current situation, she is very satisfied with it.
She finally had the chance to start over with all the wrong choices she made in her previous life, the regrets she would live with, and the words she hadn't said.
