294 Xu Lu’s Provocation
The loud sound of the plate falling alarmed everyone around. In an instant, everyone looked over. However, when most people saw that the plate had accidentally fallen to the ground, they quickly retracted their gazes and focused on eating.
“Why are you so careless, Shan Yue? Didn’t your parents teach you to use a hand to support yourself when eating? Such a big plate can even fall to the ground.”
Other than mockery, there was no other meaning in Xu Lu’s tone. “What should we do? Let’s not talk about whether you can eat at noon. How much workload have you caused the cleaning auntie? To think that you’re still a university student. If it were a child, they would know to clean up the floor.”
As Yu Xin was sitting opposite Shan Yue, she clearly saw all of Xu Lu’s actions. She immediately stood up and scolded, “Why are you so unreasonable? I saw the entire process. You were the one who deliberately reached out and pulled Shan Yue’s plate down when you passed by her, but now you’re biting back and asking her to clean it up herself. How dare you say such things?”
“And who are you? Even if you’re her friend, you can’t be anxious and slander other people. Do you have any evidence for saying that?”
Xu Lu did not take Yu Xin seriously. She even dug her ears with one hand and revealed a disdainful expression to express her provocation. “She placed her plate so far away. It bumped into me when I passed by. Now that the plate has fallen, you’re blaming me. Use your university brain. Do you think it’s reasonable?”
Yu Xin frowned tightly, and her eyes became no longer ordinary. “Shan Yue and I are classmates in the same dormitory. You know best what happened. You only know how to do some shameful things behind the scenes. I don’t think someone like you will have much of a future.”
“Are all the new students this year so powerful? You just came to school and you already dare to speak to your seniors like this.” Xu Lu’s tone was sarcastic. “Since you’re in the same dormitory as Shan Yue, your relationship must be very good. Why don’t you clean up the food on the ground with her?”
“How dare you say that? You don’t look like a senior at all. How can there be scum like you in school? Aren’t you afraid of retribution for doing too much?” Yu Xin wasn’t suppressed by Xu Lu’s aura at all.
Xu Lu raised her eyebrows and deliberately put on a casual expression as she turned to the group of people behind her. “Don’t say that. That old saying is quite right. Birds of a feather flock together. Indeed, friends are like those people around them.”
At this moment, Tang Hui firmly extended a palm to signal Xu Lu to stop. Just as Yu Xin thought that she was going to speak up for Shan Yue, Tang Hui’s answer surprised everyone. “You can say that, but please don’t bring me along. I’m just sitting here with Shan Yue as a dorm mate, not a friend.”
Even Lin Miao, who had been bribed by Tang Hui, felt that this was not good. She said slightly, “Tang Hui, don’t say that. We’re…”
Before Lin Miao could finish speaking, Xu Lu, who was standing at the side, laughed out loud. “Shan Yue, it seems that you’re the high score and low ability that people talk about. You’ve really broadened my horizons today. Not to mention that I hate you, even your roommates hate you. What does this prove? Aren’t you going to reflect on yourself?”
Shan Yue only smiled and did not show any anger because of this. “What’s there to reflect on? A true friend will trust you unconditionally. A person like Tang Hui is not a friend at all. At most, she’s just a passerby. I don’t take it to heart at all.”
“Hmph, a passerby?” Tang Hui’s eyes flickered. “I’d rather be a passerby than be friends with a thief. You can’t afford to buy cosmetics, and you say that you don’t care about those things, but in fact, you stole the things I gave Lin Miao. You even put them in your cabinet and didn’t return them. She looked for it for so long. How much time did it take for her to find it?”
