Chapter 69: 069 Just Need Hands_1When Lu Qingyi got back to the dorm, Lin Yiran was leaning on the side of the bed, complicated emotions in her eyes as she held her cellphone, watching Lu Qingyi.

    "Well Lu Qingyi, you sure do dare," she said, her expression filled with complication.

    Lu Qingyi: "? ? ?"

    "Just see for yourself."

    Disliking Lu Qingyi’s nonchalant attitude, Lin Yiran handed her cellphone over to Lu Qingyi.

    Lu Qingyi took a casual glance at the screen. It was the same video the principal had shown her before—her own taped class from her time in class twenty.

    She frowned, her eyes revealing complex emotions, with hints of both coldness and annoyance.

    How boring.

    "You think you’re so impressive? Filming these videos to get attention."

    As a liberal arts student, Lin Yiran had to admit that after watching the video of Lu Qingyi she surprisingly understood a thing or two.

    However, she didn’t believe this was the true extent of Lu Qingyi’s abilities. She thought the video was merely Lu Qingyi’s way of vying for attention.

    Lu Qingyi retorted, "Your implication is that I have nothing better to do?"

    If she wanted to gain fame online, would she have waited until now?

    "Who knows what you’re thinking. Here’s the video anyway."

    Giving a shrug, Lin Yiran spoke dismissively.

    Without saying anything, Lu Qingyi pulled out her phone from her pocket and started typing onto it quickly

    "It’s gone," she said few moments later, shelving her now black screen phone back into her pocket.

    Lin Yiran checked to find that the previous video had indeed disappeared.

    The video had a sizable number of forwarding and even people who saved it and paired it with some description, but now it was all gone.

    Searching for keyword records turned up completely empty.

    A little surprised, Lin Yiran turned her gaze to Lu Qingyi, momentarily feeling that she seemed quite impressive.

    "How did you do that?" Lin Yiran asked her in complete disbelief

    It truly was unthinkable.

    "Anyone with hands can do it."

    Lu Qingyi lazily lifted her eyelids, her tone filled with arrogance.

    Her posture like that of a ’Boss.’

    Lin Yiran: "..."

    Was this even speaking human language?

    She said it as if Lin Yiran herself had no hands. Lin Yiran looked down at her own hands then shifted her complex gaze back to Lu Qingyi.

    Lu Qingyi gave Lin Yiran a glance, then grabbed a paperback novel to read, folding it to the part that she’d left off.

    A corner of her lips curled up into a half-hearted smirk.

    Tang Yaxin.

    Lu Qingyi muttered this name in her heart with a smile on her lips. How clever you are.

    Getting that video from the principal.

    Such a gentle girl, and yet capable of so many schemes.

    ——

    Watching the number of comments increasing, Tang Yaxin was sitting on her bed with a sense of delight.

    She had deceived the principal to get the video, and posted it on the forum. Then she started a smear campaign against Lu Qingyi, making people believe that Lu Qingyi’s intention was to create hype.

    Although there were many people criticizing Lu Qingyi, there were also some praising her, but they were in the minority.

    While she was checking, the video suddenly vanished, which made her uneasy.

    What happened?

    Even deleting a video takes some time. How could it have happened within a matter of seconds? Who could achieve this? Could it be Xu Boyan?

    "Yaxin, have some fruit."

    Holding a large plate of cut fruit, her mother walked into Tang Yaxin’s room and placed the plate on her desk.

    Worried about Tang Yaxin being alone in Jin City, her mother bought a house near her school in Jin City and they lived together.

    "Mom... Brother Xu has a girlfriend now ..."

    Tang Yaxin threw her phone onto the bed and snuggled into her mother’s arms. Her voice was filled with grievances.

    Her parents’ little princess, she lived a privileged life where she got whatever she asked for.

    "It’s only been two months since he came to Jin City."

    Tang Yaxin’s mother was completely shocked and somewhat overwhelmed.

    She always knew about Tang Yaxin’s fondness for Xu Boyan, but she knew that love had to be voluntary and not forced.

    It was unbelievable that Xu Boyan, known for his cool demeanor, had found a girlfriend merely two months after arriving in Jin City.

    She and Xu Boyan’s mother were close friends. His mother had once complained to her that Xu Boyan didn’t even have a single female friend at his age.

    "Mom, what should I do?"

    Tang Yaxin started acting spoiled, clutching onto her mother’s arm with a disgruntled look.

    The disappearance of the video made her feel a sense of crisis.

    "Oh Yaxin, my precious daughter, you must understand that only when two people are in love with each other, they will last for a long time," her mother gently smoothed out Tang Yaxin’s hair, speaking in a gentle voice.

    She always looked at her friend bound by love and two souls in harmony with envy.

    Tang Yaxin: "But we grew up together ..."

    Her mother’s words were not what Tang Yaxin wanted to hear.

    "My dear girl, that’s exactly why. If there was something more, it would have sparked by now."

    Love was elusive, only a handful of times had love been perfectly reciprocated.

    If they grew up together and had feelings, it would have been impossible for them to fall for someone else.

    Xu Boyan didn’t like Tang Yaxin.

    "Mom, I’ve liked him for over a decade, ever since I could remember. I always thought that I was the most suitable person for him."

    Tang Yaxin bit her lower lip and gently shook her head as she spoke.

    Marrying in a wealthy household was often a political alliance, and Tang Yaxin believed that she was the only one worthy of Xu Boyan.

    "There is no such thing as who is suitable for whom in love. Love is only about mutual affection. You’re still young and there’s a lot you don’t understand. Listen to your mom, let Boyan go, okay?"

    The persuasion from her mother made Tang Yaxin hesitant. She held her mother in an embrace, who offered comforting words in return.

    Tang Yaxin reluctantly shook her head, still unable to accept it.

    Lu Qingyi couldn’t possibly understand Xu Boyan better than she did.

    "Silly girl, go to sleep, you have class tomorrow."

    Tang Yaxin’s mother gently shook her head, sighing a bit in dismay at her daughter’s infatuation with a boy who didn’t like her back.

    "Alright, mom," Tang Yaxin obediently nodded.

    Tang Yaxin’s mom pulled the blanket over her, turned off the light, and left the room quietly.

    At the closed door of the room, she gave a sigh of frustration and turned to leave. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    She hoped her daughter could take her words to heart.
