Chapter 587: Chapter 587: If You Must Be Benevolent, Let Others Be Benevolent

Zhou Xitong swallowed hard, unable to speak, her face etched with terror as she looked at Yue Qingqing.

All she could do was watch helplessly as Yue Qingqing tidied the bed and desk, replacing everything with a new set of bedding.

However, her spoiled nature quickly turned her fear into angry embarrassment.

"Are you threatening me? Do you dare lay a finger on me?"

Yue Qingqing turned her head, staring intently at Zhou Xitong.

"You could try."

With her lips tightly pressed, Zhou Xitong, pampered since childhood, had never expected to encounter someone like this.

Just then, Lu Zhu, who had been unobtrusive all this while, suddenly spoke up.

"Do you want the spot by the window? I’ll swap with you."

Her speaking up undoubtedly made Zhou Xitong look much better in front of everyone.

But Zhou Xitong looked disdainfully and said, "No, there’s a foul smell on your bed."

"I can go get some hot water and wipe the bed frame down."

Zhou Xitong snorted, "That’s more like it," she reluctantly agreed.

It seemed that Yue Qingqing was the only odd one in the dormitory, while the other two recognized her status.

However, Lu Zhu remained standing, unmoved.

"The money?"

"What?"

Lu Zhu said seriously, "You mentioned earlier, swapping beds for two hundred yuan."

Zhou Xitong’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Are you kidding me?"

But Lu Zhu looked at her, completely serious.

Zhou Xitong was about to explode, pulling out two hundred yuan from her wallet and intentionally throwing it on the floor.

She then stomped on it hard, twice.

"Fine, if you want it, you can have it."

Lu Zhu walked over, picked up the two banknotes from the floor, and cleaned the dirt off them.

She carefully folded them and put them in her pocket.

"Thank you."

Silence fell over the dormitory soon after, broken only by the sound of Lu Zhu wiping down the bed frame.

She was meticulous, fetching hot water from the utility room, washing the cloth, and wiping down the entire frame from start to finish.

Yue Qingqing didn’t pay attention to it.

After all, it was someone else’s choice, a deal initiated by Lu Zhu, so she held no opinions.

However, Ye Chunxiao sneered, giving Lu Zhu a contemptuous sideways glance.

That evening, Qu Ruorui and Zhuang Lan also arrived at school.

The two had already swapped dormitory tags during the vacation.

"Qingqing!"

Qu Ruorui knocked on the door, her voice trembling with excitement.

But when Yue Qingqing opened the door, the dorm was oddly quiet, making Qu Ruorui sense something was off.

Every other dorm on her way there was filled with laughter and chatter as everyone got to know each other.

This one was just too quiet.

"Let’s talk outside."

Before leaving the dorm, Yue Qingqing picked up two bricks from the floor, intending to throw them in the trash can in the corridor.

Zhou Xitong watched Yue Qingqing, feeling the silent threat.

"Are the people in your dorm easy to get along with?" asked Qu Ruorui once they were downstairs.

Yue Qingqing thought for a moment.

In her dorm, there was Lu Zhu, who preferred to keep to herself, the hypocritical Ye Chunxiao, and one proud peacock.

"It doesn’t seem like they are easy to get along with."

She even wondered whether her previous smooth school career had irked the Heavenly Dao from a past life, causing it to punish her from afar.

"It’s okay, we spend most of our time in classes anyway. Just treat the dorm as a place for sleeping. If we really can’t manage, we’ll ask tomorrow if we can swap dorms, and you can come stay in mine."

Thinking it over, Yue Qingqing decided to let it be; her situation was akin to being in a dragon’s den and a tiger’s lair.

It was her karma to bear, and she wouldn’t drag other innocent girls into it.

At least she wouldn’t be wronged herself. If other students were to swap, they may end up scarred for life.

Was this the "If I don’t enter hell, who will?" principle of the Chan Sect?

But Yue Qingqing had no intention of making a noble sacrifice.

If anyone should make a sacrifice, it ought to be someone else.
