Chapter 17 Bowing one's head
Shi Jin felt the damp heat and stickiness from her palm and realized what Bai Zhenzhu had done, so she immediately took her hand off Bai Zhenzhu's mouth.
"White Pearl, do you even know how to write the four characters for propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame?"
"Of course I know! I also know you kissed me, so you have to take responsibility for me!"
Is Bai Zhenzhu now clinging to him?
Shi Jin gave a cold laugh.
"Bai Zhenzhu, you know better than anyone who kissed whom. I was drugged by you back then. Do you think I was in a position to kiss you?"
Bai Zhenzhu pouted her pink lips angrily and muttered, "Fine, even if I kiss you, I'll still take responsibility for you, okay?"
Shi Jin was about to be driven crazy by her logic.
"I don't need you to take responsibility. Don't you already have a new goal? Do you even have time to deal with me?"
Bai Zhenzhu was stunned for a few seconds, not understanding what he meant.
Then, suddenly remembering Fu Nansheng on the basketball court during the day, he immediately grinned mischievously.
"Shi Jin, are you jealous? Are you angry that I'm fickle?"
Shi Jin seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and said coldly and ruthlessly, "Jealous? For you? Bai Zhenzhu, do you really think my taste is that bad?"
Bai Zhenzhu pretended to think as he asked her question, and finally answered him very seriously: "Well, your taste is indeed quite bad."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken a liking to Li Qianni, who was underdeveloped.
"Bai Zhenzhu, stop talking nonsense here. I'll say it one last time: no matter what your purpose was in provoking me, my attitude is very clear: I have a girl I like, and I'm not interested in a promiscuous girl like you with questionable conduct."
"But it's enough that I'm interested in you~"
White Pearl, like a heartless little vixen, tiptoed close to his ear and bewitched him.
"White pearl!"
"I'm here, I'm here, why do you always call me by my name?"
Bai Zhenzhu always spoke in a light, weak voice, with a baby-like whimpering nasal tone.
Just as Bai Zhenzhu was about to continue arguing with him, her phone rang. It was Yin Jiaxi, telling her that the student council would be checking the dorms that night and that she should hurry back to her dorm.
Bai Zhenzhu gave a few perfunctory replies and then hung up the phone.
When I turned around, Shi Jin was already far away.
Looking at Shi Jin's always straight spine and his arrogant aura from his long-held position, Bai Zhenzhu couldn't help but admire him a few more times.
"Shi Jin, I hope you remember what you said to me today, and don't regret it later!"
...
With five minutes left before the curfew, Bai Zhenzhu returned to her dormitory.
The student council members who were checking the dorms had just come in, and the one leading them was Li Qianni, Bai Zhenzhu's nemesis.
She deliberately made things difficult for Bai Zhenzhu, saying, "You didn't return to your dorm on time, so you'll lose credits."
Bai Zhenzhu's face turned pale with anger. She said, "There are still five minutes until curfew. What right do you have to deduct my credits?"
He knew Li Qianni was doing it on purpose, which made him even angrier.
"The student council has a rule that any student who returns after a dormitory check will be treated as late."
Bai Zhenzhu wasn't one to be trifled with. Knowing that she was bound to lose points today, she arrogantly said, "Li Qianni, aren't you just taking your anger out on me because your crush stood you up? Let me tell you, no matter how much you target me, it won't work. Senior Shi Jin only likes me, and you'll never have him!"
Being publicly humiliated, especially by some of her female students, Li Qianni was utterly ashamed.
But he could only suppress his emotions, not wanting to lose face in front of the younger female students.
"White Pearl, watch your mouth!"
Bai Zhenzhu scoffed and challenged, "Li Qianni, guess who I just met?"
The smug smile on her face seemed to say, "I just went to see Shi Jin, what can you do about it?"
The sadness of being ignored by Shi Jin these past few days surged up in Li Qianni. Ignoring who else was watching and laughing, she walked up to Bai Zhenzhu and slapped her hard with lightning speed.
"You bitch! I'm going to beat you to death!"
Bai Zhenzhu felt a buzzing in her left ear, and everything went black before her eyes. She almost couldn't stand up. If Yin Jiaxi hadn't been there to support her, she would have really fallen.
Yin Jiaxi put Bai Zhenzhu on the bed and was about to step forward to teach Li Qianni a lesson on Bai Zhenzhu's behalf when she was stopped by her.
Given that Yoon Ga-hee's family is no match for Lee Sin-ni, things are going to get complicated.
"Pearl, don't stop me! I'll tear her mouth apart and make her bark like a dog here!"
"Jiaxi, it's not worth it for someone like that. I have a way..."
Bai Zhenzhu knew where Li Qianni's weakness lay, so she didn't fight back, much less foolishly call the police.
Instead, he took out his phone and called Shi Jin right in front of Li Qianni.
At first, Li Qianni was confused, but when she heard Bai Zhenzhu call Shi Jin's name, she finally couldn't hold back anymore.
"Senior Shi Jin, it's me... I... I got hit, my face hurts so much..."
Because the room was so quiet, even Shi Jin's slightly heavy breathing could be heard.
Shi Jin didn't respond immediately, waiting a few seconds before speaking calmly: "Who hit you?"
Li Qianni recognized Shi Jin's voice. Almost as soon as Shi Jin opened his mouth, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she felt a heartache that made her feel like she was suffocating.
With red eyes, Bai Zhenzhu looked in Li Qianni's direction and said in a tearful voice, "It was a girl who had been bullying me for a long time, her name is..."
Bai Zhenzhu didn't say it directly, but dragged it out, deliberately tormenting Li Qianni.
She stared intently at Li Qianni's expression, determined to remember every trace of panic and fear she felt at that moment.
Just as Bai Zhenzhu had predicted, Li Qianni trembled with fear.
She has always been a white moonlight in Shi Jin's heart, a synonym for kindness and innocence. How could she be labeled as a bully?
Absolutely not!
So she stepped forward, snatched Bai Zhenzhu's phone, and immediately turned it off.
Then apologize proactively.
"Bai Zhenzhu, I'm sorry, it was my fault. I shouldn't have deducted your credits, and I shouldn't have hit you..."
Although he lacked sincerity, and even his eyes were filled with hatred.
But it doesn't matter, Bai Zhenzhu doesn't really care. What she wants is for Li Qianni to bow her head, and for her to be embarrassed in front of everyone.
Isn't it worth it to exchange a slap for a bow of the head?
So she generously replied, "It's okay, as long as Li Qianni doesn't do anything so degrading in the future."
Li Qianni suppressed the madness within her and said nothing more. Instead, she turned around and, trembling, stepped out of the dormitory.
The moment the door closed, Bai Zhenzhu burst into laughter.
"Jiaxi, did you see that? Li Qianni looked so cowardly! I just made a phone call to Shi Jin, and she was terrified. She's never apologized to me before. It seems my plan to seduce Shi Jin was absolutely right! I think I should add some more juicy details. Li Qianni might do something even more unexpected!"
Yoon Ga-hee was also laughing uncontrollably and gave Baek Jin-joo a thumbs up.
"Pearl, that's a really mean move of yours. Li Qianni must be furious. She's probably crying in her dorm right now!"
"I not only want her to cry, I also want her to kneel before me and repent one day. I want her to love but not be loved, and to live in my shadow forever!"
