"No, Mom, you must have misheard. I was just playing on my phone for a bit, and the sound was just too loud," Ding Kemeng wiped away her tears, cleared her throat, and replied calmly.
"Is that so? Okay then. Hurry up, Mom has already prepared dinner. Come out and eat early." With her daughter saying this, Ding's mother had no reason to doubt her anymore.
For more than a month afterward, Lu Ziyin asked her to wait, and she did.
Not long after, the college entrance examination in June ended. After the scores were released, Xie Sichen went to C University as he wished, Tang Zhizhou went abroad as his father wished, and Ding Kemeng was admitted to B University, which she wanted to attend.
With Ye Rong watching over her, Ye Nai went to take the college entrance exam in a nearby city, B City. In the blink of an eye, after the college entrance exam, Ding Kemeng's friends disappeared again.
Year after year, Ding Kemeng has spent three years at Peking University, and now she is someone who will be called "senior sister" when she walks down the street.
After spending the morning in the library, Ding Kemeng finished her homework and prepared to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
But as soon as she left the library building, two young boys followed her, and one of them reached out and stopped her.
"Miss, could you wait a moment?" The boy was very tall and handsome, with a shy smile.
Ding Kemeng was slightly taken aback, then looked up in confusion: "Excuse me, is there something you need?"
When the boy saw Ding Kemeng look up at him, he was stunned by her delicate face. A blush rose from her neck to her cheeks, and he was at a loss for what to do.
Seeing this, the boy next to him quickly reached out and nudged him, trying to wake him up.
The boy snapped out of his daze, hurriedly pulled his phone out of his pocket, and handed it to Ding Kemeng, stammering, "Miss, can...can I add you on WeChat?" He had seen this girl in the library before, and even just a side profile was beautiful. Now that he saw her face, he was truly impressed; she was absolutely gorgeous!
Ding Kemeng glanced at the phone in front of her and put on a polite smile.
"Sorry, I don't add strangers." After saying that, Ding Kemeng turned around and wanted to leave.
Seeing that Ding Kemeng refused, the boy became a little anxious and quickly chased after her, "Miss, wait, I... I just want to be friends with you!"
There were already quite a few people watching, and Ding Kemeng was in a hurry; she really didn't have the energy to waste time with this boy.
"Sorry, I don't want to be friends with you. I'm very busy. Could you please move aside?" Ding Kemeng didn't even want to give a polite smile anymore.
Before, perhaps because Lu Ziyin was around, most boys who were interested in her didn't dare to appear in front of her. But ever since Lu Ziyin left and she went to university alone, Ding Kemeng's face has really brought her a lot of trouble. A beauty ranking list inexplicably appeared on the school's online forum, strange boys fawned over her, confessed their love, and harassed her, and the girls in the dormitory inexplicably isolated her.
Ding Kemeng has endured this for three years, and she is really exhausted.
The boy was taken aback when the girl, who had been so gentle just moments before, suddenly became so cold.
"I..." He wanted to say something more, but Ding Kemeng was too lazy to pay attention to him. She said goodbye and left without looking back.
As soon as Ding Kemeng left, the group of people who had been watching the commotion immediately started talking about it.
"Who was that girl just now? She's so pretty!"
"Who else could it be? It's Ding Kemeng, the number one beauty on our school's beauty list for three consecutive years! She's the top student in the law department, she's amazing!"
"Ding Kemeng? Is that the one who always gets first place in the law department?"
"Her? Not only that, I heard that Han Xi, a senior from the Finance Department, really likes her. He's been pursuing her since her first day at school, and he still hasn't won her over!"
"Han Xi? Han Xi of the Han family in City B?"
"What do you think? Besides that Han family, which other Han family is there?"
"Then Ding Kemeng must be putting on an act again. Han Xi has been pursuing her for so long and she still hasn't agreed!"
"Who knows? She probably thinks she's good-looking and wants to snag even more rich husbands!"
...
After lunch, Ding Kemeng returned to her dormitory.
The dormitory is a four-person room. Usually, when she comes back at this time, there is hardly anyone in the dormitory. But today, when she came back, the other three people in the dormitory were all there, which surprised Ding Kemeng.
Two girls in the dormitory were huddled together discussing something. Ding Kemeng ignored them and walked past them to her seat.
When Ding Kemeng returned, one of the girls in the dormitory, who was usually quiet, couldn't help but lean closer to her and whisper, "Ding Kemeng, Han Xi came to see you today."
Ding Kemeng was somewhat surprised that this girl would talk to her.
Seeing Ding Kemeng's nonchalant attitude, the girl became anxious. "He...he gave you a gift, imported snacks and cosmetics." As she spoke, the girl pointed to two other girls huddled together, her voice even softer: "They...they took them and opened them. I...I just wanted to tell you." She had told them not to take them, but they wouldn't listen. Not only that, they even opened and used the things themselves after returning to their dorm. She felt really bad about it.
Ding Kemeng has never offended them. It's already excessive for them to reject her, but now they're blatantly using her things. This is simply robbery!
The two girls seemed to sense that something was wrong. They turned around and, upon seeing Ding Kemeng, immediately understood.
One of the girls curled her lip, threw the already opened cosmetics at Ding Kemeng, and sneered, "Who cares about your stuff? I brought it up for you for free, and you still dare to say we're wrong first!"
Another girl, still holding a half-eaten snack, immediately chimed in, "Exactly, that's so stingy!"
Ding Kemeng was hit all over with cosmetics, and the liquid even got on her clothes.
Anger surged within her, and Ding Kemeng stood up and smiled.
He strode forward and kicked over their table, scattering their cosmetics and skincare products all over the floor.
Neither of them expected Ding Kemeng to suddenly attack. The sudden kick, accompanied by the sound of a glass bottle shattering, startled them.
"Ah—Ding Kemeng, are you crazy?!" one of the girls screamed, roaring, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at Ding Kemeng.
"Am I crazy?" Ding Kemeng sneered. "I think you're the ones who don't know your place!"
"What did you say? Say it again!" The girl was so angry that she stepped forward and raised her hand as if to hit him.
Ding Kemeng didn't give the girl a chance to get close at all. She quickly grabbed the girl's hand and pulled her forcefully. The girl was pulled over in an instant, and Ding Kemeng reached out and pinched the girl's chin tightly.
He looked at the girl with cold eyes and said indifferently, "Liu Peipei, I thought what you did a couple of years ago was harmless, so I didn't hold it against you. But now, I suddenly don't like the look of you anymore. What should I do?"
