Wang Chun'er trembled at the scorching anger in Wang Dong's eyes, and a few drops of clear tea spilled from the rim of her teacup, landing on the back of her fair hand.
She lowered her eyes, avoiding the fiery, questioning gaze, her long eyelashes fluttering gently like the wings of a startled butterfly.
When she looked up again, her pinkish-blue eyes, which were exactly like Wang Dong's, were filled with just the right amount of grievance and a hint of barely perceptible determination.
" Sister Dong ~" Wang Chun'er's voice was barely audible, her hands covering her chest, carrying a hint of hurt from being misunderstood.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Sister Qiu'er and Brother Yuhao are in love, of course we should be happy for them!"
As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, subtly moving half a step closer to Huo Yuhao, her fingertips brushing lightly against Huo Yuhao's wrist, which was casually resting on the table.
The moment their skin touched, Huo Yuhao subconsciously curled his fingers.
no?
Are you channeling Lin Meimei's spirit?
Wang Dong, however, had no idea who Lin Meimei was; he only felt burning with rage.
happy?!
I'm happy for you, my ass!
Wang Dong felt a metallic sweetness rise to his throat, and his vision blurred.
She watched helplessly as Wang Chun'er looked so pitiful, like Xiao Bai, and the frustration and anger in her heart almost burst out of her skull.
How can they be allies?
He's clearly a traitor who turned against his own side!
How could she have been so naive as to think that this suddenly appearing " Wang Chun'er " would be an accomplice?
no?
Don't you want Huo Yuhao anymore?
Huo Yuhao was somewhat at a loss due to the awkward atmosphere.
On one side, his tender and affectionate "girlfriend" Wang Qiu'er clung to him, while on the other side, Wang Chun'er, who looked similar and had a gentle temperament, cast a hesitant glance at him.
Add to that the look on his good friend Wang Dong's face, his teeth clenched, his face ashen, as if he were about to flip the table at any moment.
I have a feeling I'm about to face Shura Field.
illusion!
It must all be an illusion!
Huo Yuhao has always been unwavering in his loyalty to love!
He coughed lightly, trying to ease the tension. "Um... Dongzi, Chun'er is right, it's fate that we can all get together, Qiu'er, she..."
He wanted to say a few good words for Wang Qiu'er, but he automatically fell silent under Wang Dong's sudden, almost murderous gaze.
"Little brother," Wang Qiu'er's voice, like a clear spring, flowed through the frozen air at just the right moment.
She gracefully set down her teacup, turning slightly towards Wang Dong, a flawless, composed smile befitting an "elder sister" playing on her lips. Only in the depths of her bright golden eyes did a cold, commanding glint flash, a message only Wang Dong could decipher.
" Chun'er, you've come from afar and this is your first time visiting Sun Moon Academy, so why don't you~"
Her gaze swept over Wang Dong's face, her tone carrying an undeniable "concern," "So, you, as the younger brother, will show Chun'er around the academy and help her get familiar with the environment?"
"It's better than crammed into this little room with Yuhao."
She deliberately emphasized the words "younger brother" and " Yuhao and I," like invisible needles piercing Wang Dong's heart.
This is expulsion!
It's a blatant declaration of sovereignty!
They also want to pack her up with that traitor Wang Chun'er and throw them out!
Wang Dong's fists were clenched tightly under the table, her nails digging deep into her palms, the excruciating pain barely keeping her sanity intact.
She wanted to roar, to overturn the table, to point at Wang Qiu'er's nose and yell at her to get lost, you imposter! But just then...
"Buzz!"
A subtle yet sharp fluctuation of Soul Power pierced her mind once again!
Wang Qiu'er's telepathic message carried a chilling, hellish tone: [Miss Wang Dong, it seems you haven't grasped reality yet? Should I remind you again of the price of that secret? Or perhaps you'd rather know the first word about your 'father' Tang?]
Those unfinished words were like a cold, giant hand, instantly gripping Wang Dong's throat and extinguishing all her flames of resistance.
Father!
How did she know about her father? Damn it!
Could it really be that my biology dad gave birth to some kind of older sister?
Wait a minute, shouldn't someone be the older sister?
But how did it turn out like this?!
Father!
Who is my real father?!
Just how much does this Wang Qiu'er really know?!
Overwhelming fear instantly overwhelmed his anger. Wang Dong's body swayed almost imperceptibly, and his face drained of all color, turning ashen white as paper.
She bit her lower lip hard, the taste of blood filling her mouth.
"Okay~ Okay, okay!"
Wang Dong almost exhausted all his strength to squeeze out those two broken syllables through his teeth.
She stood up abruptly, the chair legs scraping loudly on the floor.
She dared not look at Huo Yuhao again, much less at Wang Qiu'er's victorious gaze. She stared intently at Wang Chun'er, her voice hoarse. "Come on! I'll take you—to 'visit'!"
Wang Dong felt that if things continued like this, they would definitely be suppressed.
She has absolutely no hope.
No, he needs to calm down this time.
Go outside for a walk, regain your composure, and then resume the battle!
Wang Chun'er glanced timidly at Huo Yuhao, then quickly looked at Wang Qiu'er, receiving a very subtle nod from the latter.
Only then did he obediently stand up, following behind Wang Dong, who exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay and acquaintances even more so.
Wang Dong slammed the dormitory door shut with a loud bang, making the walls seem to shake.
Isolated from the suffocating battlefield, the corridor's icy atmosphere rushed in, but it did nothing to cool the churning magma in Wang Dong's heart.
She turned around abruptly, like a trapped beast cornered in a desperate situation. Her short, light blue hair was almost standing on end, and her eyes were blazing with furious fire. She grabbed Wang Chun'er's collar and slammed her against the cold wall!
"Wang! Chun! Er!"
Wang Dong's voice was extremely low, yet it sounded like the howl of a dying beast, "Who sent you?!"
"Are you in cahoots with her?!"
"You keep saying you like Huo Yuhao, so why are you standing there like a Woodhead?!"
"Are you happy to see me being played like an idiot?!"
"Speak up!"
She shook Wang Chun'er's shoulders violently, and the humiliation, anger, fear, and deep sense of powerlessness that had been suppressed all day finally erupted at this moment.
The cold wall pressed painfully against Wang Chun'er's back, and the tight collar made it difficult for her to breathe.
However, when faced with Wang Dong, who was on the verge of madness, the timid tears in her eyes quickly disappeared, replaced by an almost cruel calm.
She didn't struggle; she simply raised her eyes and looked back at her with a complex gaze that Wang Dong found unfamiliar, a gaze that carried both pity and a sense of mission.
Wang Dong was completely stunned.
Wang Chun'er said Youyou, "So, you're being unreasonable, will you really take Huo Yuhao back?"
