Qiao Jinxi avoided his gaze and smiled awkwardly.

"We don't send them often. Mr. Yu's family is well-off. These things are good things for us, but for rich people, they are nothing at all."

"He was also very generous to the nanny at home, often giving her some old clothes and shoes from home so that the nanny could take them back and wear them on the children."

Zheng Xinyue didn't believe it and exposed her directly, "You said it yourself, the things given to the nanny are all second-hand items, why did they give you perfume and a pen? These are not second-hand items, right? The perfume can be used by his wife, and the pen can be used by his brother, so why did they give it to you, a tutor?"

Qiao Jinxi couldn't argue with Zheng Xinyue, so she held it in for a while and said self-deprecatingly.

"Maybe they feel sorry for a poor student like me!"

Zheng Xinyue snorted, "There are many people who are more pitiful than you. The Yu Shun family is a charity, right?"

Qiao Jinxi felt a little embarrassed and looked at Zheng Xinyue with a look of grievance and asked back.

"Then according to you, why did Mr. Yu give me something? Do you really have to think that people are so dirty and bad?"

She looked weak, her eyes reddened, "I know my family is not as well off as yours, but you don't have to mock and suppress me, right? I'm giving you something out of kindness, even if you don't want it, there's no need to insult my personality, right? Do you have to speculate Mr. Yu's kindness as ulterior motives to be happy?"

Zheng Xinyue was almost sick to death. She hated women who cried for no reason. It was as if someone had bullied her. She had a lot to say but she didn't know how to vent.

Yang Niannian didn't buy Qiao Jinxi's trick, "Don't you think your explanation is lame?"

"Xinyue just asked casually, and didn't say you did anything dirty. We didn't insult you verbally, it's you who thought that way. You're just trying to cover up the truth by talking so much."

Running to Yu Shun's house on the first day of school was obviously something was wrong.

Qiao Jinxi had a feeling of being seen through. She lowered her head guiltily, tears falling down her face like crazy. She looked more aggrieved than Dou E.

It's like being oppressed but not daring to resist.

At this moment, there was a knock on the dormitory door. Qiao Jinxi wiped away her tears and walked over to open the door.

"Cui Cui, why are you here?"

Dong Cuicui is one grade higher than Qiao Jinxi. They are from the same hometown and met on the train on the way to Beijing.

"I brought some bean paste from my hometown. I'll give you some to try. Are you crying? Why are your eyes so red?"

Qiao Jinxi held back her tears and shook her head, "No, I was blinded by the sand."

She took the bean paste, pulled Dong Cuicui into the dormitory, and forced a smile, "I also brought some pickles from home, and wanted to give them to you to try."

Dong Cuicui shook her head and refused, "You can keep the pickles. I have some at home, too."

Seeing that Yang Niannian and Zheng Xinyue both looked unhappy, he guessed that Qiao Jinxi must have been bullied, so he spoke loudly.

"If someone bullies you, don't put up with it. Tell the counselor."

Zheng Xinyue couldn't stand this kind of indirect criticism. She was already full of anger just now, but now she started to attack directly.

"Don't spit blood at me. Who bullied her?"

Dong Cuicui accused sharply, "If you didn't bully her, why is she crying?"

Yang Niannian sneered, "Just because she cries does that mean we are bullying her? Which teacher taught you this theory? Which department are you from? I'll go visit your teacher."

Dong Cuicui was speechless. She turned around and saw Qiao Jinxi with tears in her eyes. She looked very aggrieved, which made her even more certain that Qiao Jinxi was being bullied.

"Jinxi, don't be afraid, just tell me what happened."

While speaking, Dong Cuicui kept staring at Yang Niannian and Zheng Xinyue.

Qiao Jinxi grabbed Dong Cuicui's arm and bit her lip in grievance.

"Nothing happened. Didn't I tell you before that I'm doing a part-time tutoring job? I went to a student's home today. Because his grades improved significantly at the end of last year, and because it's the New Year, his family gave me a pen as a reward."

"I didn't expect that Nian Nian and Xin Yue would misunderstand that the student's parents had impure motives in giving the pen."

"Cui Cui, don't get me wrong. No one is bullying me. I'm crying because I have a low tear point. It has nothing to do with other people."

Her tears flowed uncontrollably. She said that she was not bullied, but she acted like she was bullied vividly.

Dong Cuicui, "You still said that I didn't bully you?"

She imagined what happened. "Are they saying something mean to you? You are a good teacher, so isn't it normal for parents to give you some small gifts to thank you? I think they are just jealous of the five dollars a week tutoring fee and the gifts from parents."

Zheng Xinyue pinched her waist and said angrily.

"Bah, don't talk nonsense. Just now she wanted to give the pen to Nian Nian, but Nian Nian refused to accept it. Who would be jealous of her little tutoring fee?"

Dong Cuicui didn't believe what Zheng Xinyue said at all. Qiao Jinxi's family was not well off, so how could she possibly give the pen to someone else?

"If you weren't jealous, why did you say those things to slander Jin Xi?"

Yang Niannian sneered and said lightly, "Even if we are jealous, so what? How are you going to stand up for her? Are you going to report it to the counselor, or help her beat us up?"

"you……"

Dong Cuicui was speechless, her eyes bulging with anger, "Why are you so unreasonable? I have never seen a student as arrogant as you."

Yang Niannian shrugged, "You see it now."

Seeing Dong Cuicui so angry, Zheng Xinyue was very happy, "You are so dumb, yet you are trying to imitate others."

Dong Cuicui became even angrier, but she couldn't say anything. Yang Niannian didn't play by the rules, and she couldn't do anything about it.

Zheng Xinyue quickly packed the clothes into the luggage bag, carried it downstairs, and then came back upstairs to move things.

Seeing Dong Cuicui standing there staring at Yang Niannian, he deliberately bumped into Dong Cuicui when he went downstairs carrying the quilt, which made Dong Cuicui faint with anger.

Yang Niannian reminded Qiao Jinxi coldly as she walked past him while moving her things.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch. You know better than anyone that if you tease a snake in the hope of getting away with it, you will get bitten by it sooner or later."

Qiao Jinxi felt guilty and didn't dare to look Yang Niannian in the eye.

"What does she mean?"

Dong Cuicui wanted to chase out to argue, but was stopped by Qiao Jinxi.

"Cui Cui, forget it. Don't bother with them. They...the two of them are in cahoots with each other. My other roommate and I don't dare to confront them."

Dong Cuicui let out a long sigh, "You are too kind, that's why they bully you. Fortunately, they are moving away."

Qiao Jinxi took Dong Cuicui's arm and said, "Cuicui, how about you move to my dormitory? That way we can go to the cafeteria to eat together, go shopping together, and chat together in the evening."

If Dong Cuicui moves over, she must be in the same faction as her. Judging from Dong Cuicui's personality, she is not the kind of person who would just accept things as they come. When the two of them are together, she won't have to be suppressed by Meng Ziyu.

Dong Cuicui hesitated for a while and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'm really fed up with my roommate. He keeps flipping through books all day long. It's so noisy. I get a headache just hearing the sound of flipping books."

The two hit it off and went to find the dormitory manager together.
