For several weeks, Mao Na had not sought out Hu Ruoyun. Left waiting with no sign of him, she finally stormed over in a fit of anger to confront him.
Mao Na arrived on a Saturday morning while Hu Ruoyun was playing basketball on the court with Lao Si, Liu Jiawang, and Cui Shuigen. The leader, Zhao Jinpu, and the second-in-command, Miao Shujie, were busy washing clothes in the laundry room. In the dormitory, only Jie Bing was preoccupied with writing something.
Mao Na knocked on the door and entered. Noticing that Hu Ruoyun was not in his bed, she asked Jie Bing, "Excuse me, do you know where Hu Ruoyun has gone?"
Seeing that Mao Na's expression was not good, Jie Bing stood up and replied, "I think he went to the basketball court..." Then, seemingly casually, he added, "Third Sister has been quite busy lately. It seems she's been involved in selling some shoe insoles... Anyway, it's not looking good. Our counselor, Teacher Zhou, said that such behavior is detrimental to the image of contemporary college students and goes against the conduct guidelines for students on campus... He even mentioned wanting to have a serious talk with her!"
The reality was that Jie Bing had performed poorly in the last exam, ranking near the bottom of the class. Even Cui Shuigen, whom he looked down upon, managed to place eighth in the class while Third Sister secured third place. Even without comparing himself to them, Zhao Jinpu and Miao Shujie had also scored better than him.
During this time, it seemed that Cui Shuigen had been making money alongside Third Sister. They both sported new coats now, and Cui Shuigen had replaced his worn-out sneakers with a new pair...
All of this struck a heavy blow to Jie Bing's sense of superiority: shouldn't everything be going my way?
When discussing class matters with the counselor, he voiced his concerns: "Teacher Zhou, I feel there's an unhealthy trend in our class. Some students are banding together to make money and even skipping classes! You need to address this; otherwise, who knows what might happen if it spreads throughout the school!"
Although Teacher Zhou didn't respond at that moment, Jie Bing knew he had taken note of it.
Mao Na only knew that there was a Jie Bing in Hu Ruoyun's dormitory but didn't know which one he was. Listening to Jie Bing's words made her blood boil: just because of some money-making venture, he started distancing himself from me! The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt; in her frustration, tears began to fall.
At that moment, Zhao Jinpu returned with a basin in hand and quickly greeted her upon seeing her standing there. "Aren't you Third Sister's sister? He went to play basketball with Lao Si and Cui Shuigen! Do you want me to take you over there?"
Being older than them, Mao Na quickly composed herself. "It's fine; I'll go by myself. You all carry on; thank you."
Meanwhile, Hu Ruoyun was engaged in a game on the basketball court when he heard Cui Shuigen call out to him: "Brother San, is that your sister?"
Hu Ruoyun didn't catch on at first and thought Cui Shuigen was insulting him. He shot back defensively: "Your sister!"
Lao Si paused and looked over. "Brother San, it really is your sister!"
Finally realizing who they were referring to, Hu Ruoyun turned his gaze toward Mao Na standing outside the court. Excitedly tossing the ball toward Lao Si, he said, "You guys keep playing!"
However, as Mao Na saw Hu Ruoyun running toward her with enthusiasm, her expression turned cold as she walked away angrily.
Having not seen him for weeks made her wonder what was going on with him—was he unwell? What could be wrong? Or had he rekindled something with Zhang Meina? Had things progressed that far?
It's true that whether it's a woman or a man in love sometimes leads them to be oblivious to their surroundings.
In a rush, she hurried over early in the morning, only to see that black lump of charcoal bouncing around, playing basketball with others. All her worries instantly turned into a myriad of grievances...
Isn't this just bullying?
Mao Na turned around, fuming as she walked out, counting angrily in her mind: 1, 2, 3... If I reach 10 and you still haven't come over, just wait and see!
