Li Li frowned, saying, “I know she hurt her hand, but she could at least apologize for bumping into someone! She’s always so stubbornly unpleasant! It’s been like this since we were children, I can’t stand it!”
Su Man bit her lower lip, her eyes fixed on him tightly.
Yet, Li Li didn’t look at her but at the girl beside him, asking after her with a series of sympathetic questions:
“Is your foot okay? Can you walk later? If you can’t walk, tell me. Don’t try to be tough, okay?”
“…Yeah, it’s a little painful.” The girl lowered her head weakly with a gentle sigh, “I can only walk slower now… oh, if only the place where I live was closer.”
“I’ll take you home later,” Li Li offered, “Tomorrow, I’ll help you reapply for a housing assignment. The place you live now is indeed too far, it’s inconvenient for you to commute to HQ.”
“Oh, Li Li, you’re so kind…”
“It’s nothing, just a small matter.”
Su Man watched the back-and-forth between the two, her eyes slowly reddening as she bit her lip and didn’t say a word.
Suddenly, she rose to her feet and said curtly, “I’m going to the restroom.”
Zhu Shu looked at her, hesitated for a bit, then also stood up.
“Heading to the restroom too?” Lun Ang munched on his food, his words unclear, “You women always have the most drama. You even have to go to the restroom hand in hand…”
Zhu Shu gave a bashful smile.
She followed in the direction Su Man had left.
In reality, Su Man hadn’t gone to the restroom. She just felt on the brink of tears and wanted to find somewhere without people to gather herself. Unexpectedly, she heard footsteps behind her and turned to see Zhu Shu after quickly wiping her tears.
“What are you here for?” Su Man asked, not in the best of moods.
Zhu Shu didn’t approach, standing around ten steps away. After a moment of silence, she said, “I saw it. You didn’t bump into her. I didn’t say anything at the time because… Li Li probably wouldn’t believe it.”
“I know.” Su Man bit her lip, her eyes looking back towards the party, “He would probably say, ‘Zhu Shu, you don’t need to speak on her behalf’, ‘She loves starting drama, it’s not the first or second time it’s happened’…”
Zhu Shu gave a smile, “Su Man, you really know him well. You’ve even got his tone down perfectly!”
“Of course, we grew up together!” Su Man laughed too, a hint of pride in her smile, “I even know what color his crotchless pants were when he was little!”
While speaking, her smile gradually faded and she murmured, “We used to be so close, I don’t know when it started, but now it’s all just bickering…”
“Let’s go.” Zhu Shu moved closer to her, tentatively grabbing her arm, “Li Li only speaks so rudely to you because you’re so familiar to him. Don’t take it to heart.”
After thinking for a moment, Su Man also felt that she had overreacted by running out. She took a deep breath and said, “Let’s go back.”
The two returned to their seats.
On their way past the girl named Xiaoqian’s seat, Zhu Shu lightly tugged at Su Man.
Su Man paused, looking at her in confusion.
She then saw Zhu Shu take a broken long hair from her shoulder and wink at her knowingly.
Su Man was puzzled, only to see Zhu Shu’s face suddenly change!
Her expression became somber, instantaneously welling up with tears!
With a slight flick of her finger, the broken hair landed on the girl’s neck. At the same time, Zhu Shu let out a suppressed and trembling scream:
“Ah! A spider just fell!”
“AAAAH!!!”
The girl screamed, standing up from the table abruptly, stomping on the ground and scratching at her back.
“Spider! Spider!”, she cried, “Get it off me!!!”
Li Li also hurriedly stood up, “Where? Where’s the spider?”
“Ah … I’m sorry, it seems like I saw wrong …” Zhu Shu said in a small voice, with tears in her eyes, “I didn’t scare you, did I? But your foot seems fine? That’s great… I was worried earlier when you kept hopping around that your foot might have gotten worse.”
