  There were still a few days before the military training ended.

  Liu Zhao had used her recuperation to avoid the military training because she wanted to prevent Instructor Xiang from making things difficult for her. After all, she still clearly remembered the first day when Xue Xi was punished to stand in a military posture.

  She had been testing the waters.

  She realized that Xue Xi was indeed that kind of person. As long as you did not offend her, she would treat you as though you did not exist. Hence, Liu Zhao was very tactful and did not dare to offend Xue Xi.

  Xie Yingying and Xue Xi were on the same side.

  Meanwhile, Li Zixia…… seemed to have quarreled with Xue Xi and the rest and had not been speaking with them for the past few days.

  Hence, Li Zixia became her target.

  There was no one in the dormitory today, so she used Li Zixia’s expensive skincare products. In the end, when she used lipstick, she forgot to twist the lipstick back and broke it.

  She wiped the lipstick on her lips with a tissue and looked at Li Zixia, still smiling timidly. “Sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose. You know that my family is very poor. You won’t ask me to compensate you, right?”


  Li Zixia: “?”


  At this moment, the other dormitory mates who heard the commotion also walked in.

  The four people in Wang Wei’s dormitory stood at the door.

  Wang Wei had always been careful, but after realizing that the instructor did not care about her at all, she’d come to feel much more at ease these past few days.

  When she heard this, she subconsciously felt that Li Zixia was making a mountain out of a molehill. “Isn’t it just a broken lipstick? Wouldn’t it be fine if you just stick it on?”


  Li Zixia was also furious. She immediately said, “It’s not broken. It’s rotten to this extent. How can I just stick it?! If you have the capability, can you restore it to its original state?!”


  She passed the lipstick to everyone. After twisting it out, she covered it with a lid. The entire piece had been squeezed to the point that it was useless.

  Wang Wei frowned.

  Liu Zhao said, “Can I compensate you? How much is it?”


  Li Zixia bit her lip. “598!”


  Liu Zhao paused and widened her eyes. “For just a lipstick? It’s so expensive!”


  Wang Wei also said, “The official website sells it for only 298 yuan, right? Why did you raise the price?”


  This was what Li Zixia was angry about. “Do I care about that 300 yuan?! This lipstick can’t be bought at all. It’s out of stock in the country. I bought someone else’s at a high price! I spent more than 500 yuan to buy it!”


  Liu Zhao took out 50 yuan from her wallet pitifully and passed it to Li Zixia. “Zixia, I’m really sorry. I really didn’t do it on purpose. Sob, I only have this much money right now. Can I give it to you in installments?”


  The moment she said this, Wang Wei frowned. “Li Zixia, you probably don’t care about this bit of money, right? I don’t think you need to be so threatening. You’re still the class representative, so just treat it as helping your classmates.”


  The rest could not help but say, “Forget it.”


  Li Zixia: “.……”


  Her favorite lipstick had been broken, but the other party had only apologized…… Her eyes were red from anger, but with so many people speaking up for Liu Zhao, as the class rep, it was indeed not good for Li Zixia to continue being relentless.

  For the first time, Li Zixia hated herself for being the class representative. She could not take revenge easily.

  Eyes red, she threw the 50 yuan to Liu Zhao. “Forget it.”


  Seeing that there were outsiders, Liu Zhao apologized profusely. “Sorry, sorry……”


  Li Zixia ignored her and went to the washroom to wash up. As the sun was darker today, she took out an ice-white mask and planned to apply it.

  This facial mask was very expensive. One bottle cost 25,000 yuan. If it was applied thickly, one bottle could only be used eight times. Li Zixia only used it once a week.

  However, just as she opened the facial mask bottle……

  She widened her eyes. “Where’s my mask?”


  When she came to school, she had brought a bottle, but why was there only one bottle left now?! She remembered that she had only used it once!

  Xue Xi had never used other people’s skincare products, and Xie Yingying was also very well-behaved. Hence, there was only……

  Li Zixia turned to look at Liu Zhao again.

  Liu Zhao still had that timid look on her face, but her words could almost make a person break down. “Class rep, I only used it for a while. You asked me to use it. You won’t blame me, right? I don’t have to pay for this, right?”


  Li Zixia: “?”


  When did she let her use it?!

  She could not bear to use such an expensive facial mask every day, alright?!

  No wonder Liu Zhao had turned pale recently. She had thought that it was because Liu Zhao did not go to military training, but it turned out that she had used her facial mask!

  Li Zixia was trembling.

  She could not out-talk Liu Zhao. The Missy, who had never been angered, suddenly squatted down and hugged her knees as tears silently flowed down.

  Recently, because of Liu Zhao, she’d felt very ashamed in front of Xue Xi. After thinking through these things, she realized that she had been used by Liu Zhao.

  Hence, the straightforward person was too embarrassed to speak to Xue Xi.

  She had been so bored in the dormitory, and now that she was being bullied, all her emotions instantly exploded, making her choke up.

  Liu Zhao said in a sarcastic tone, “Why are you crying? You’re so rich. Do you still care about this face mask? Aren’t you afraid of being embarrassed if you cry over this face mask?”


  Li Zixia: “.……”


  She clenched her fists and stood up abruptly.

  Fight.

  Even if she could no longer be the class representative, she would still beat Liu Zhao up today!

  However, just as she screamed and was about to rush forward, her arm was suddenly grabbed.

  Li Zixia turned around and saw Xue Xi, who had changed into a fresh set of clothes, looking at her. “Don’t be rash.”


  After saying this, she patted Li Zixia’s hand.

  The irritable person calmed down instantly. As though she had been wronged, Li Zixia acted like a child who’d seen her parents and shouted at Xue Xi, “Sister Xi……”


  Xue Xi nodded and walked to Liu Zhao.

  Her eyes were cold and her expression was indifferent. She slowly said, “Your leg injury should be fine now, right?”


  Liu Zhao was shocked and took a step back. “What are you doing?”


  Xue Xi’s eyes flickered coldly. “Nothing much. Since you’ve recovered, let’s settle the scores for these past few days.”


  Liu Zhao: “.……”
