“…” Haha. Sheng Ning had never seen anyone as shameless as Qin Cuifen.
“Ningning, I’m not even blaming you. Don’t be so stubborn,” Qin Cuifen said graciously.
Hahaha… What a righteous explanation. She made it sound like Sheng Ning was being stubborn and petty just because she was ignoring Qin Cuifen. Sheng Ning raised her head, and her gaze swept across the window.
She distinctly smelled the familiar scent of Grace Cream in the air. People from the countryside could only afford to use Hali Oil. Only Lu Xiaoshuang and the other city girls could afford a luxury like Grace Cream. At this thought, Sheng Ning smiled, and her beautiful smile made Qin Cuifen’s heart bleed with envy.
“Cuifen, we’re good friends. We grew up together. Of course I’ll forgive you.”
“Ningning, I’m the victim of this incident…”
“All right! I must rest. Are you guys not rehearsing today? I heard the National Day performance is very important.”
Qin Cuifen thought she succeeded, so she left contentedly. At the door, she couldn’t contain a smile. Unfortunately, Sheng Ning’s next words made her stop in her tracks.
“Cuifen, when will you return my bracelet?” Sheng Ning looked at her calmly.
Qin Cuifen frantically fixed her left sleeve, hiding away a unique-looking silver bracelet.
“Cuifen, you’ve borrowed it for such a long time. Are you never going to return it?”
A shocked yelp came from outside the window. Qin Cuifen’s face was pale as paper. She shakily turned around and said with a hurt expression, “What are you talking about, Sheng Ning? Why don’t I understand what you’re saying?”
“You…” Sheng Ning took a deep breath. She was infuriated by Qin Cuifen’s shamelessness. The more she argued with her, the more arrogant she became. “All right, go practice!” She didn’t need that woman’s bracelet anyway.
“Then… then I’ll leave now. Come find me if you need anything.” A hint of satisfaction flashed in Qin Cuifen’s eyes, and she left with a victorious smile. She had gone to great efforts to swindle the silver bracelet on her wrist from Sheng Ning. She wouldn’t return it even if Sheng Ning beat her to death.
After she left the women’s dorm, Qin Cuifen was immediately surrounded by a bunch of girls. “Cuifen, you’re such a nice person.”
“Exactly. I hate how arrogant Sheng Ning acts.”
“She’s so rude to you, yet you treat her like a good friend. You’re so silly.”
Everyone was talking at once. Qin Cuifen had a smile on her face, and her ordinary clothing made her full chest stand out attractively. She may not be as pretty as Sheng Ning, nor as pale, but she had bigger boobs!
Qin Cuifen subconsciously stuck out her chest and said humbly, “Don’t misunderstand Sheng Ning. She suffered many hardships in childhood. I understand her.”
As for what her words meant, that was up to anyone’s interpretation.
“Qin Cuifen, you’re so pitiful. You’ve been tolerating someone like that since childhood.”
After she saw Qin Cuifen off, Sheng Ning peacefully waited for her injury to heal. Based on her memory from her previous life, she took out the letter her father mailed her from her drawer.
Seeing father’s messy scribbles on the rough paper, tears uncontrollably streamed down her face. How many years had it been? After two whole lifetimes, she didn’t expect to have the chance to see father again.
The contents of the letter were simple. Father found her a marriage and wrote to ask for her opinion. The man was also a comrade, and he was very outstanding. Father’s letter beamed with satisfaction and admiration for his future son-in-law. He clearly wanted to agree to it but remembered to ask for her opinion first.
