Chapter 142 - Step Back (2/2)

”We are doing much better than before. You don't have to help us,” Li Shuang replied with a straight face looking at him coldly.

”Are you doubting my intentions?” He asked, cupping her cheeks.

”I'm not,” She softly replied.

”I knew you will always trust me,” He lowered his head to her level, leaning in for a kiss. But just as their lips touched, she tilted her face to the side, ”I'm tired. I'll go back to the dorm and take a rest first.”

Zhu Boqin stood rooted to his spot even until her back disappeared from his view.

...

As Yu Mei wandered in the corridor, she could not help but think back to what happened in the classroom. That guy, Zhu Boqin did not deserve Li Shuang.

Even though he had not done anything wrong or he is not bad at anything but it was just her instinct that he wasn't the right one for her.

Alas, she could do nothing about it. It was Li Shuang's call in the end.

She held her bag in her hand before taking out the rose from the inner corner. Putting the bag on her back, she looked at the rose in her hand and stroked its petal with her index finger, 'Your owner has invited me to his place to help me with my studies. So? Shall I go or not?'

While thinking about the said owner, she was unaware of how her lips stretched in a soft smile.

”Ah....”

While she was walking, she did not realize when someone bumped into her causing the rose in her hand to fall on the floor in the process.

Without giving it a second thought, she bent her body to pick up the rose from the floor but just as her hand reached towards the flower, someone stepped on the back of her palm.

She sucked in a cold breath and grabbed the rose with her other hand before it could be damaged while she tried to get her hand from under the stiletto.

The person pressed the heel harder on her hand and she winced.

”Oh my god. Sister, what are you doing?' Yu Yan shouted getting the attention of the students passing by in the corridor. Some of them were already looking at the ongoing fiasco.

”Yu Yan, step back,” Yu Mei coldly said when she could not bear the pain anymore.

”Sister, how can you talk like this with me. Do you think I did it on purpose?”

”It seems like you want to keep stepping on my hand. That's fine, you should not blame me for being cruel then,” Without giving her a chance to react, Yu Mei twisted her wrist in a swift motion, her finger pulled the heel of her stiletto as she stood up.

”AHHHH!” Yu Yan screamed as she fell on the floor on her butt, ”S-Sister, how could you do this?”

”Stand up again, I'll show you the demo of how I did this.” Yu Mei put the rose in her bag as she took out a handkerchief to wipe her hand before throwing it away.

”What's going on here?”
