Chapter 16 The Tumultuous Party
Lu Ran?
Ye Qingyu felt a jolt of pain at the mere mention of this name; this guy was the epitome of those at the top. They were aloof and looked down on the lower classes, arrogant and conceited, and only ever cared about their own opinions.
Those of lower rank than him must be oppressed by him, and if they dare to resist or show even the slightest reluctance, they will be disciplined by him.
No.
He didn't even need to lift a finger.
With a single glance from him, the hyenas surrounding him would swarm over and devour everything, leaving not even bones.
But how could someone like that...
Retract your claws.
Ye Qingyu fell silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice with her eyelids lowered, "Why are you asking this?"
Noticing her displeasure, Pei Ci said, "Ye Qingyu, I already know that he has done some very outrageous things."
Do you really know?
"He has deeply reflected on what happened that time."
Reflect?
Does not causing her trouble constitute reflection?
He still used Jinglin, under the guise of pursuing her, to bring her endless trouble once again.
“But don’t worry.” Pei Ci’s voice was as light as a cloud, yet it carried a calming magic. “He has already changed.”
Is it fixed?
A person whose roots are rotten...
Ye Qingyu sneered inwardly, and asked somewhat absurdly, "How can it be improved?"
“Ye Qingyu, Lu Ran is not entirely without merit. He is indeed stubborn, but he will also listen to the opinions of those he approves of.”
Pei Ci continued, "I know that there are some unreasonable rules at Anta Academy, but Lu Ran seems to be a beneficiary of these rules. In fact, he has no interest in these things. It's just that his identity inadvertently provided a raft for some bullies."
Ye Qingyu: "..."
"...Who told you that?"
“It sounds a bit absurd, but it’s true.” Pei Ci lowered her eyes. “Words are meaningless; perhaps we should observe his actions.”
"After that incident, did Lu Ran become more well-behaved?"
"Right?"
“That’s right.” Pei Ci’s gaze was firm. “Lu Ran will stop this school bullying.”
Ye Qingyu: "..."
He remained silent for a long time before suddenly asking, "...Did Lu Ran make that promise to you?"
Of course not.
But Pei Ci nodded. "What's wrong?"
What's wrong?
How could you believe that?
Ye Qingyu was almost laughing in anger. She really didn't know how the Pei family had raised this idiot. Did they damage his brain while he was receiving treatment abroad?
Did she really think that Lu Ran was like the puppy in front of her, who occasionally bared his teeth and claws?
They really don't understand themselves at all.
After a moment of silence, Ye Qingyu said, "I just thought of something."
Meeting Pei Ci's questioning gaze, Ye Qingyu gave a slight smile, "I think I'll fall in love with Lu Ran in the future."
!
Pei Ci opened her mouth, and this was probably the biggest expression she had made all day, besides being angry.
After a brief moment of surprise, Pei Ci nodded, her expression serious. "Very likely."
Ye Qingyu: "..."
"Ahem." Ye Qingyu turned her head and pressed her finger directly on Pei Ci's forehead. "What exactly are you thinking?"
Pei Ci: "..."
Alright, Pei Ci realized that Ye Qingyu was just teasing her.
But it's understandable; who would have thought that the person who just bullied them would become a hero who stopped the bullying?
However, it is precisely because it is impossible that it is all the more awe-inspiring.
Pei Ci's forehead was reddened from Ye Qingyu's pressing. She got up and walked to the spot where Ye Qingyu had turned her head, then sat down naturally, meeting Ye Qingyu's gaze.
"What if it really could be done?"
Ye Qingyu: "..."
Pei Ci leaned closer, "What if you really manage to do it?"
"..." Ye Qingyu frowned. She really didn't understand why Pei Ci insisted that she believe it. Did she think that her friends also had to get along with her? This young lady, she really didn't know what to say. She would blush if you just tapped her forehead lightly. She had no aggression at all, and she just loved to believe all sorts of nonsense.
Ye Qingyu pursed her lips.
However, her mind seemed to have stopped thinking after that incident, her heart and eyes consumed by the flames of revenge. But at this moment, she was strangely thinking...
Won't this beautiful, fragile porcelain doll get sick from being so close to my wet and dirty self?
Thinking of this, he moved his body away a little, separating himself from the young lady, and tied up his loose hair with his fingers.
Ye Qingyu's features are very suitable for wearing a ponytail.
Compared to men, her features are soft, yet she stands out among other women with a heroic air; when she ties her hair up in a ponytail, she resembles a valiant female general.
"Impossible," she said curtly.
But after she finished speaking, her hand was suddenly grabbed. This hand seemed to possess a bit of magic, not only freezing her in place but also letting her smell a faint fragrance. Of course, in her daze, something cool slid down their clasped hands to her wrist.
Ye Qingyu looked down and saw that it was the agate beaded bracelet that Pei Ci was wearing on her wrist. Each bead was crystal clear and still carried the warmth of the young girl.
Ye Qingyu still had Pei Ci's ring in her pocket, and now she had a string of beads.
This young lady really loves giving things to others.
He pulled his finger away, intending to return the beaded string to Pei Ci, but Pei Ci pressed down on his finger.
"You don't need to give it back to me." Pei Ci's brows relaxed, and a smile that melted through her delicate and beautiful features bloomed. "How about we make a bet?"
Ye Qingyu's heart pounded like thunder.
Pei Ci and Ye Qingyu made a bet on whether Lu Ran would stop the bullying at the party, and she was certain she would win.
Will Ye Qingyu's opinion change after this incident?
Because of this, Pei Ci was in a good mood all afternoon. Naturally, her relationship with Ye Qingyu improved considerably.
Pei Ci originally sat with He Li, but after returning to the classroom, Pei Ci took the initiative to talk to the teacher about changing seats.
Then he sat down directly with Ye Qingyu.
No one was surprised by the sudden intimacy between Pei Ci and Ye Qingyu.
Because the forum spread like wildfire.
Everyone knows that Pei Ci saved Ye Qingyu that afternoon.
Even for Ye Qingyu, the young lady was willing to break ties with her deskmate.
Normally, when this kind of thing gets out, the forums are filled with nothing but sarcasm and ridicule.
But this time it's different.
—No, why should I?
What exactly is Ye Qingyu's charm that makes her so popular with the school beauty?
—I feel disgusted just looking at her.
What right does she have to stand next to the school beauty?!
—I'm so jealous, so jealous, so jealous.
In an instant, countless extreme posts appeared. The aristocratic young masters and ladies of Anta Academy were proud and arrogant, so if Pei Ci remained aloof and unapproachable as rumored, it wouldn't be a problem. But now, in just half a day, Pei Ci had gotten so close to a special student.
She gave Ye Qingyu a bracelet, sat at the same table with Ye Qingyu, and even though Ye Qingyu smelled terrible, the young lady still listened to her talk. They talked about useless and trivial topics, but she could always melt the young lady's cold face.
This phenomenon is unreasonable. The school beauty is not the problem; the only one with a problem is Ye Qingyu. These vermin, who grow from rotten soil, are always unscrupulous and cunning. This naive young lady has been deceived.
And they had to do something to correct this situation.
It wasn't just to win back the school beauty's attention, but also to uphold the dignity of their social class.
Gradually, people began to inquire about Ye Qingyu's whereabouts.
"President An, should we set up speaking permissions for the school forum?"
In the student union office, the president's assistant, Xiao Chen, couldn't help but ask.
At this point, Xiao Chen couldn't help but be surprised.
Crazy, absolutely insane.
After President Ying An announced that Miss Pei had enrolled in the school, the school fell into a strange atmosphere.
Let's leave that aside for now. After all, the elite aristocratic circle is very small, and everyone knows each other. This young lady is born into nobility and is beautiful, so she could easily become a trendsetter in the circle.
That's fine.
However……
It wasn't until he actually arrived at the school that Xiao Chen truly felt the madness.
With sufficient access, one can see all traces of this young lady on campus.
At that time, there were countless posts on the forum discussing that young lady.
All sorts of hidden, dark, and shameful thoughts suddenly surfaced.
Even as the cornerstone of Anta Academy's students, Lu Ran could not stop the waves of prying eyes.
Everything was settling down, but then Miss Pei suddenly rescued a special student, stirring up a storm in the already turbulent deep sea.
Now……
Just because Miss Pei had a close relationship with a specially admitted student, it has escalated to the point of being a collective "education" incident.
At Anta Academy, the only nobleman who is somewhat friendly to commoners is probably the student council president.
Xiao Chen really didn't want to see the tragedy happen, so he brought it up himself.
This matter involves a plan for the stability of Anta College, and he felt that the president would most likely agree.
However……
"Don't worry about it," An Yinyou said gently.
"ah?"
"It's already unstoppable."
you do not say.
An Yinyou looked at the posts that were being refreshed wildly on the forum. If you looked closely, you would have noticed that the people who posted these posts were basically nobles below level A.
Why would anyone post something like this? While it's possible that some people are just being thoughtless, An Yinyou believes that many were either forced or compelled to post it.
And what about those who are at level A or above?
An Yinyou wiggled her fingers, her smile deepening, probably just like herself, waiting for the opportunist to reap the benefits.
Ye Qingyu naturally had to deal with it.
But dealing with Ye Qingyu was not the goal.
The goal is to find out who can replace Ye Qingyu.
Even if it's just a friend's place.
An Yinyou rubbed his forehead and sat casually in his office. He posted Ye Qingyu's whereabouts for the night on the forum.
Time flew by, and after finally getting rid of the beast's mistress, Jinglin, feeling extremely agitated, drove into Anta School.
Finally, before the last class ended, Jinglin arrived at the School of Literature.
However, as soon as he got off the car, several young men approached Jinglin.
"Brother, I heard you have a party tonight, can I come along?"
"Take me with you too."
"I haven't visited Brother Jing's house yet."
Jing Lin glanced at their smiling faces, then, with a sudden thought, excused himself to go to the restroom, but actually opened the school forum.
A few minutes later.
Jing Lin took a deep breath, hung up An Yinyou's call, and came out of the restroom.
At that moment, he found all these young men to be handsome and refined.
“If you want to come, I’ll definitely agree. As many as you want to come.” Jing Lin smiled meaningfully. “You can do whatever you want.”
"That Ye Qingyu..."
“She’s just a woman,” Jinglin said with a sweet smile. “It’s not as important as having fun.”
"Thump, thump, thump."
The bell rang, signaling the end of class at Anta Academy. A flock of white doves took flight, and the dim light bathed the campus in a golden glow. Pei Ci and Ye Qingyu walked out of the classroom and then saw a group of twenty or thirty young men, led by Jing Lin, at the academy gate.
Besides these rich young men, there were also several specially admitted students with beaming smiles.
"I'm going to Jinglin's party," Ye Qingyu said, turning to Pei Ci.
"I know." Pei Ci pushed Ye Qingyu forward a little. "Don't worry, Ye Qingyu, you'll be fine."
Seeing that Ye Qingyu remained silent, Pei Ci promised, "If you're really worried, you can call me."
During break time, the two exchanged phone numbers and added each other as friends.
Ye Qingyu nodded and walked towards Jing Lin, while Jing Lin waved to Pei Ci.
Pei Ci pretended not to see it and took out her phone to call her driver.
She felt it was impossible for anything to happen.
But in the evening, Pei Ci received a call from Ye Qingyu.
Pei Ci's heart skipped a beat, and Ye Qingyu's weak voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Miss Pei, I won the bet.”
"Lu Ran didn't come."
