Don't lose your temper. If she couldn't even protect herself at this moment, then no one would be able to save Yun Motan.
Yun Que'er admonished herself silently in her heart.
Ji Chengxuan originally thought that Yun Que'er would fight back on the spot. However, she just silently lowered her head, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.
"Little Que'er, you..."
Yun Que'er slowly shook her head at Ji Chengxuan. At the moment their eyes met, Ji Chengxuan understood what she meant and couldn't help feeling a twinge of heartache.
So proud was she. When had she ever been so submissive?
"Are you done?" Ji Chengxuan turned his head and glared angrily at the boy who had just attacked Yun Que'er, venting Yun Que'er's pent - up anger.
"The matter is still undetermined, yet you're just following the crowd. How did your parents teach you?"
The boy's face turned red and then pale under Ji Chengxuan's scolding. He couldn't help but retort,
"It's her family's business. It has nothing to do with you. Why are you so eager to stick up for her?"
"Maybe they're childhood sweethearts who have grown up together since childhood," Shen Qingqing said coolly from the side.
Ji Chengxuan suddenly glared at her.
Shen Qingqing was also staring intently at the two of them. She still hadn't forgotten the slap Yun Que'er had given her yesterday!
Asking her to endure? That was out of the question!
"What are you looking at me for?" Shen Qingqing wore an innocent smile on her face. "Am I wrong? You two come from the same village. Naturally, you're childhood sweethearts who have grown up together. Or is it that your relationship isn't as good as I thought? If so, then why are you sticking up for her? After all, this isn't your business, right?"
Ji Chengxuan was completely at a loss for words.
Shen Qingqing's words were flawless. There was no room for criticism.
If he lost his temper at this moment, he would be falling into Shen Qingqing's trap.
Yun Que'er stood there indifferently.
She had seen through Shen Qingqing. This girl was quite shrewd and not easy to deal with.
If it weren't for the fact that Yun Que'er had lived for thirty years in her past and present lives combined, she might not have seen through Shen Qingqing's schemes. Even if she had seen through them, she might not have been able to fight back.
However, looking at Shen Qingqing at this moment, Yun Que'er had another idea in mind.
Even though she was two years older than her classmates, she shouldn't be so calculating.
Thinking of what the doorman had said before, Yun Que'er suddenly thought that perhaps she could find a breakthrough from Shen Qingqing.
For example... a psychological battle.
After a while, Yun Que'er gave Shen Qingqing a faint smile.
"You're right. We two are childhood sweethearts, and we're very close. So it's only natural for him to stick up for me."
Shen Qingqing curled her lips and smiled. "Oh, that explains it. By the way, Classmate Ji, you should be more sensible. Don't get involved with just anyone. It's not good for you."
After saying that, she looked at Ji Chengxuan proudly.
There were only two possible outcomes for this situation. Either Ji Chengxuan would be regarded as part of Yun Que'er's group and be attacked by everyone. His days in the future would surely be tough.
Maybe after a long time, Ji Chengxuan wouldn't be able to bear the pressure and would stop protecting Yun Que'er.
By then, Yun Que'er would be all alone, like a fish on the chopping block, at their mercy.
Not to mention returning one slap, even ten slaps, Yun Que'er would have to take them obediently.
If Ji Chengxuan was sensible enough and realized the pros and cons of the situation at this moment and distanced himself from Yun Que'er, that would be even better.
However, what she didn't know was that from the moment Ji Chengxuan spoke up for Yun Que'er, he had already prepared himself to become the target of everyone's criticism.
Ji Chengxuan sneered disdainfully and was about to fight back when Yun Que'er beside him spoke calmly.
"Yes, every man for himself. As you said, everyone in the class should stay away from me now."
Yun Que'er let out a couple of soft laughs. "But there's nothing I can do. We two are just close. As for being sensible, that's not an issue for us."
As she said this, she took a step forward.
"Every word you say makes sense, but it's just not realistic. Do you know why?"
Shen Qingqing was taken aback by her question.
"What do you mean by realistic or not? It's just an excuse you're making. Or do you think you're being wronged? But let me tell you, you're not wronged at all. Who asked you to have such a father? If only he knew how to be more discreet, would everyone hate you so much now?"
Yun Que'er didn't say a word. Instead, she burst into giggles.
Shen Qingqing was even more confused.
How could she still laugh in such a situation?
It wasn't until she had laughed enough that Yun Que'er stopped and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"If people only pursue interests in this world, even if they reach the highest position, they'll still end up being all alone. Human nature is like this. No one can live alone. In the end, everyone should have a few friends left. Unlike you, Shen Qingqing. Although I don't know what you're really like, you seem so aloof. You know, people like you won't have anyone to be friends with in the end. When you said those words today, I'll just assume you're jealous of me. But it seems you can't be jealous even if you want to."
Shen Qingqing suddenly had nothing to say.
She never expected that Yun Que'er would use this to fight back against her, and it just so happened to hit her sore spot.
She had never had any friends, not even a playmate since childhood.
Naturally, this made her feel lonely.
Although sometimes she brainwashed herself, saying it didn't matter. So what if she had no friends?
People gather and disperse because of interests. All there is between people is just exploitation.
However, every time she woke up alone in the middle of the night, Shen Qingqing would also suffer because of this.
She bit her lips and racked her brains to find a way to refute Yun Que'er, but stammered for a long time without being able to say a word.
Seeing Shen Qingqing's reaction, Yun Que'er showed a satisfied smile.
It seemed she had gambled right. No matter what kind of person they were, they all had their fatal weaknesses.
The psychological battle was effective enough for Shen Qingqing.
After a long time, Shen Qingqing reluctantly rolled her eyes and pretended to be disdainful.
"Don't try to scare me with this. I think you're just running out of words!"
"Okay, okay," Yun Que'er nodded. "Since that's what you think, Shen, I'll just assume you're right."
Then Yun Que'er pulled Ji Chengxuan, and the two of them went straight back to their seats.
Shen Qingqing gritted her teeth in anger. This Yun Que'er was really a troublemaker!
It seemed that it was right to attack her. Otherwise, would she still have a place in this class?
On the other side, Ji Chengxuan quietly gave Yun Que'er a thumbs - up.
"What you said just now was really great. We should really deflate her arrogance."
