  The boys’ dormitory wasn’t as busy as the girls’ dormitory in the morning. This building was mainly for the older students, so Su Yue managed to leave quietly without being noticed by anyone.

  She was still holding the piggy bank Jiao Chen had given her yesterday. It was heavy with coins.

  The girls’ dormitory was crowded with students in the morning. Su Yue sneaked into the dormitory behind someone before she walked to her room.

  “Bai Jing.”


  Su Yue saw Bai Jing on her bed, looking as though she had just woken up.

  She thought she didn’t come back to the dormitory yesterday?

  Bai Jing rubbed her eyes and frowned at Su Yue. “Where did you go last night?”


  She yawned several times before straightening her back.

  Su Yue didn’t answer her question and asked her instead. “Where did you go last night?”


  She strode across the room to her bed and sized her up from head to toe.

  Yesterday, she wasn’t in the dormitory as her bed was neat and tidy. But judging from the situation now, she must have slept here.

  It confused Su Yue.

  Bai Jing knew what was on Su Yue’s mind. She stretched her hand to rub her temples. “Yesterday, I didn’t feel too well. So I went to the infirmary to get medicine.”


  “I feel dizzy.” Su Yue pressed her hand against her forehead.

  Bai Jing looked at her, with a puzzled look. “What’s wrong?”


  “I thought you went home yesterday.” Su Yue frowned and then pouted. “I went downstairs without my card last night. So I went to Jiaojiao’s dormitory instead.”


  She should have called Bai Jing yesterday.

  Her mind was befuddled…… all because of that kiss.

  Su Yue unconsciously stretched her hand to touch her lips gently. Flashbacks of how Ming Ansheng had embraced and kissed her so domineeringly popped in her mind.

  She was lost in her thoughts.

  Bai Jing shot her a suspicious look when she heard Su Yue say that she went to Jiao Chen’s dormitory. “You slept over at his dormitory?”


  She looked doubtful.

  “Yup.” Su Yue quipped, “I had no place to go, so I went there.”


  She smiled and flaunted the piggy bank. “Bai Jing, is this cool?”


  “You were with Jiao Chen the whole night?” Bai Jing pressed on as she narrowed her eyes.

  Su Yue nodded and repeated. “Yes. Why?”


  “Nothing…… nothing much.” Bai Jing smiled and shook her head. She glanced at Su Yue as though she had something to ask her. After a while, she asked, “Then you…… and Jiao Chen……”


  No matter how naïve or innocent Su Yue might be, she could guess what Bai Jing was trying to say.

  She smiled and said, “Don’t let your imagination run wild. I just slept in his bed. Nothing happened between us.”


  She immediately realized a pressing issue.

  Yesterday, she was alone with Jiao Chen in his dormitory—a couple all alone and they did nothing.

  Jiao Chen didn’t even kiss her.

  Was it…… normal?

  “What are you thinking about? Don’t you have lessons this morning? Have you eaten?”


  Bai Jing gazed at her and interrupted Su Yue’s thoughts.

  Su Yue shook her head. “No.”


  She grabbed Bai Jing’s hand and asked, “Let’s go eat together, all right?”


  She went out to get medicine yesterday. Did it mean she was ready to face the reality?

  And to retaliate against those rumors.
