Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Provocation to the Face Chapter 608: Chapter 608: Provocation to the Face Ye Chunxiao fell especially hard this time, landing face-first on the ground.

Qu Ruorui only heard a crack, as the opponent’s jaw smashed fiercely onto the ground.

It made everyone present shudder, and they involuntarily touched their own chins.

Just looking at it was painful.

The girl next to Ye Chunxiao struggled to help her up.

Ye Chunxiao, with tears all over her face, covered her mouth, her chin bleeding profusely.

Just as she was about to cry out in pain, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Her entire mouth was likely full of blood.

Qu Ruorui spat out, “Serves you right, that’s instant karma for talking nonsense.”

Ye Chunxiao was furious to death but could only be supported by others to the infirmary while holding her chin.

Ye Chunxiao didn’t come to class that afternoon; her classmates all heard that she had fallen severely and had been taken to the hospital for stitches.

It wasn’t until that evening that Ye Chunxiao was returned to the dormitory by a teacher, her chin wrapped in gauze, looking extremely miserable.

Surprisingly, she was limping, walking unsteadily.

Passersby who knew Ye Chunxiao asked softly, “Did you limp from the fall?”

Ye Chunxiao, her chin not yet healed, kept a gloomy face and didn’t speak, but it was the teacher who answered.

“She fell again on the way back, and no one knows how…”

The teacher was puzzled too.

The road was smooth and flat, just a moment of carelessness.

Suddenly, Ye Chunxiao didn’t know what she stepped on, and fell directly to her knees on the ground.

The sound of her knees hitting the ground was so crisp it could be heard a hundred meters away.

In the dormitory, Yue Qingqing and Lu Zhu were both reading.

Ye Chunxiao was supported by the teacher as she entered, and the two didn’t even glance at her.

The teacher felt a bit awkward, sensing that the people in this dormitory didn’t seem very friendly toward each other.

“Ye, rest well, and if you feel uncomfortable, find the dormitory supervisor. If you still feel unwell tomorrow, just lie down in the dormitory.”

Ye Chunxiao barely dared to nod, as moving her head slightly hurt.

The teacher initially wanted to ask the other roommates to take care of her, but seeing their attitude, she hesitated and could only hope that Ye Chunxiao would fend for herself.

Ye Chunxiao sat on her bed, staring daggers at Yue Qingqing’s back, with as much resentment as one could muster.

For some reason, she always felt that her misfortune was somehow related to Yue Qingqing.

Although there was no basis for this, she always had this intuition.

Because of her fall, hurting both her chin and her ankle, Ye Chunxiao couldn’t attend classes for several days.

Although she wasn’t spreading rumors, before new gossip emerged, the various versions of Yue Qingqing meddling in someone else’s relationship continued to spread fiercely, showing no signs of stopping.

Qu Ruorui watched anxiously, while Yue Qingqing seemed as if she hadn’t heard anything.

The impact of rumors and gossip correlates directly with the degree of concern.

The more you care, the greater the impact, and vice versa.

Yue Qingqing studied calmly, took exams, and answered questions, unaffected.

Zhou Xitong, watching how composed Yue Qingqing was, felt increasingly uncomfortable.

But after the last time, she didn’t dare to publicly scold Yue Qingqing again, fearing another lesson.

Zhou Xitong could still recall the pain of her wrist almost being broken; the fact that it looked neither red nor swollen afterward meant even her parents didn’t believe she was bullied.

This time Zhou Xitong learned her lesson. That day after school, she specially asked Sun Tianyu to pick her up.

Sun Tianyu, with his arms around Zhou Xitong’s waist, saw Yue Qingqing approaching and deliberately tightened his grip, the two clinging together intimately.

Yue Qingqing didn’t even look their way but walked straight past.

Zhou Xitong sneered intentionally, “Tianyu, you have to be careful of the vixens out there. Don’t let their innocent looks fool you; they are shameless to the core, and someone like you with good prospects should avoid getting entangled.”

Sun Tianyu affirmed his loyalty, “Don’t worry, I only have eyes for you, I don’t care for those broken dates.”

The two voices complemented each other; although they didn’t specify names, everyone knew who they were referring to.

The corridor was crowded, and the buzzing of the crowd followed.

Some who were unclear about the truth spoke exceptionally harshly, each comment more offensive than the last.

Just then, a man approached from the staircase.

The man’s face was stern, his presence dominating.

Like a scythe, wherever he passed, silence reigned, and students scattered to the sides like wheat, clearing a pathway through.
