Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Verbal Abuse

Yue Qingqing was too lazy to care but was even less willing to listen to the other party nitpicking sentence by sentence.

"So sour, does your family sell vinegar?"

Ye Chunxiao’s expression changed, "Are you saying I’m sour?"

"Spending all day doing nothing but gawking at other people’s gifts, I think you’re not only sour but also quite idle. You could stir-fry a dish."

Yue Qingqing felt that Ye Chunxiao’s gossipy nature stemmed not only from dislike for her but probably also from a heart filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred towards Zhou Xitong.

Otherwise, why would she know the value of every gift Zhou Xitong received, obviously keeping meticulous track of them in her heart?

Hit where it hurt, Ye Chunxiao became furiously embarrassed.

"You can only slander me, do you dare say that about Zhou Xitong? Just wait until we graduate, one flick of her finger and you’re dead."

As Zhou Xitong’s little sidekick, Ye Chunxiao seemed to regain some sense of superiority at this moment.

"Not only did she find a boyfriend who is rich and handsome, her own family has money too. You’re using a pager, she uses a cell phone. What do you have to compete with her?"

After school, her family, two older brothers, and Jiang Jingze would all send her messages via pager.

Every time Yue Qingqing’s pager beeped, Zhou Xitong would sneer and ostentatiously take out her cell phone.

This childish behavior didn’t affect Yue Qingqing in the slightest, but it was noticed by Ye Chunxiao.

Just then, Lu Zhu, who had been quietly reading a book on the side, suddenly spoke up.

"At least she has a pager, what about you?"

Ye Chunxiao couldn’t believe it, Lu Zhu was actually defending Yue Qingqing.

"Why are you butting in? What does this have to do with you?"

Lu Zhu lifted the textbook in his hand, "You’re too noisy, you’re disturbing my reading."

Ye Chunxiao was so angry she could burst, "Nonsense, did Yue Qingqing pay you to help her? No one in this dorm is poorer than you, what era are you living in? There’s even a patch on your socks, aren’t you ashamed?"

Lu Zhu didn’t care at all, "At least I don’t fixate on other people’s things."

Ye Chunxiao pointed at Lu Zhu, then turned to look at Yue Qingqing.

"You just wait!"

With that, she stormed out, slamming the door behind her again.

Yue Qingqing was quite surprised. Lu Zhu usually had no presence in the dormitory, never interrupting whether Zhou Xitong was showing off or Ye Chunxiao was being cynical.

He had never said anything about the things people said about him, and today he actually spoke up for her.

As she was wondering about this, Lu Zhu had already put down his book and looked over.

"Yue Qingqing, I heard that you, Zhuang Lan, and Qu Ruorui do your own test papers, right?"

Yue Qingqing and Qu Ruorui were originally close friends, and Zhuang Lan probably also wanted to avoid those less studious, so he always ate with them since arriving in this new environment.

After a year of training in a cram school, the three kids had long since developed a method of self-study, advancing much faster than their peers and even ahead of the teachers’ lecturing pace.

Zhuang Lan then suggested that the three of them should create their test papers by subject, with each person taking on a subject each week.

They would exchange papers the following week.

After creating the papers, they would take them to the school’s copy shop and print three copies.

Together, they would solve them in their spare time and then peer review and explain the concepts to each other.

Zhuang Lan tried his best to stump the two girls, and Yue Qingqing and Qu Ruorui naturally responded in kind.

All three had completely figured out the teacher’s way of thinking behind the questions.

With this series of maneuvers, they essentially covered all the gaps in their knowledge.

In the two monthly exams, all three ranked at the top of their grade.

Being in the same dorm, Lu Zhu naturally noticed something was up.

Yue Qingqing then realized, Lu Zhu was not the type to act without benefiting somehow.

"My test papers are available for you to copy, but I would need to ask Zhuang Lan and Qu Ruorui before I could give you theirs," she replied.

After all, it involved their efforts too.

Lu Zhu nodded, "Thank you."

But she never liked to take things from others for nothing.

"I’ll also make a test paper for you guys later."

Yue Qingqing declined, "No need, it’s just one extra copy."

She understood Lu Zhu didn’t like owing favors to others, but Lu Zhu usually had to go to the library to work part-time after school, and she was never seen around campus on weekends, probably working somewhere off campus.

Making a test paper was time-consuming and required integrating concepts thoughtfully; Yue Qingqing didn’t think Lu Zhu had the energy for it.

Lu Zhu was smart and understood Yue Qingqing’s concerns.

"I’ll remember this, and I’ll find a way to repay you later."

Listening to Lu Zhu’s earnest words gave Yue Qingqing a bit of a headache.

The girl was quite stubborn.

Just then, the door to the dorm was suddenly kicked open.

"Yue Qingqing, you shameless bitch!"

Zhou Xitong stood at the door, her presence overwhelming, while several other dorms, hearing the commotion, immediately poked their heads out to see what was going on.
