Su Qing frowned.
"Tian Shasha."
Her voice rose slightly, and she looked at Tian Shasha coldly.
"First, I didn't steal your scholarship; you simply didn't have the ability to get it. Second, what happens between Jiang Sui and me is my business. You're threatening me, which is a crime. You're secretly photographing me and stalking me. If you don't want me to call the police, just stop it. Third, you can post the photos if you want, but I'm telling you, you'll be responsible for the consequences. Do you think Jiang Sui will like you if you do this?"
The girl's logical voice echoed in Tian Shasha's ears.
She didn't hear a word clearly, except for the question, "Do you think Jiang Sui will like you?"
Tian Shasha, half a head shorter than Su Qing, had to look up. Tears welled in her eyes, and she was a little hysterical. "Su Qing, don't scare me like that, Su Qing. I'm not afraid. I'm telling you, didn't you just say you were going to tell my parents? My dad's inside there, go tell him!"
Su Qing hadn't expected Tian Shasha to say that.
She had originally thought that if Tian Shasha refused to change, she would have to contact her parents. But then she saw Tian Shasha's father, and the disgusting look in his eyes made Su Qing's eyes tremble.
It was clear that Tian Shasha's father was no longer a pleasant person in Su Qing's eyes, so naturally, she couldn't say anything.
"If you're like this, I'll have no choice but to call the police." Su Qing's face darkened.
Just as Su Qing finished speaking, Tian Shasha's father, who had been inside the house, reappeared. He narrowed his eyes as he watched his crying daughter, but instead of trying to comfort her, he gazed at Su Qing with lustful eyes.
"Why call the police, girl? Can't you just talk it out?"
Su Qing felt a chill down her spine at being looked at. The current situation was clearly not what she had anticipated when she first arrived, and she left without a second thought.
She had no idea how much of their conversation the man had overheard. At this moment, Su Qing suppressed her fear and didn't turn back to the man. She simply looked at Tian Shasha and spoke slowly.
"Tian Shasha, I hope you'll think carefully about this. Don't let a boy ruin your life..."
Before Su Qing could finish her words, Tian Shasha glanced at her father in panic, then hysterically turned to Su Qing.
"Su Qing, don't talk nonsense. This is nonsense."
Su Qing frowned, not expecting such an impulsive reaction from Tian Shasha. She simply met the man's gaze and, without even turning back, hurried away.
"My daughter..."
As she walked, Su Qing could still hear the man's call, and a cold sweat ran down her spine.
However, she hadn't noticed what was happening outside the concierge's office as she entered the taxi.
Tian Zhong grabbed Tian Shasha's hair.
"B**ch, you're still young and already wanting a man, right?"
"Just like your cheap mother. Why do you want to leave me too?"
Tian Shasha trembled, her ears buzzing. Her eyes were blurred with tears, and she bit her lip, sobbing.
This time, there wouldn't be that godlike boy swooping down to save her.
Thinking of Su Qing's pretty face, Tian Shasha suddenly felt malicious.
"Dad, isn't that classmate of mine very pretty?"
Tian Zhong narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and paused his movements.
Su Qing, now back home, clearly had no idea what was about to happen. Having broken her promise to Liu Ranran last week, she had agreed to go shopping with her this week. However, as they were chatting, Liu Ranran mentioned coming to her house.
Thinking back to the previous times Su Rao had asked about that close classmate, Su Qing had agreed. However, her home was a bit remote, so Su Qing thought for a moment and, instead of taking a taxi home, went to Liu Ranran's house to pick her up.
Su Qing, who had been waiting for Liu Ranran downstairs, suddenly realized that not only did Liu Ranran's neighborhood share the same name as Jiang Sui's, but it was also in the same location. Crucially, Liu Ranran lived in the building next door to Jiang Sui's...
Su Qing clutched her fingers and stood beneath the tree.
She looked a little dazed. He hadn't been to school long time, so she hadn't seen him either.
"Girl, you're here to see your boyfriend again."
It was the fruit shop on the next floor. Su Qing came to her senses and saw the proprietress, fanning herself and smiling at her.
Su Qing didn't know how to respond and could only nod.
She and Jiang Sui often bought fruit from this shop. No, it should be Jiang Sui who often bought her fruit, saying she was malnourished or something.
Looking at Su Qing's face inevitably brought back memories of her youth, and the fruit shop owner couldn't help but add a few words.
"You're still young, but don't disbelieve in love. My husband and I met in high school, and we've been together for years. These past few days, I've seen the handsome guy on the third floor stumbling back after drinking a lot. Don't be afraid of a quarrel; just sort it out."
Perhaps because she often buys fruit, the shopkeeper insisted on giving Su Qing a bag of tender pink peaches. Su Qing tried to refuse, but when she tried to pay, the money was stuffed into her pocket.
Su Qing bit her lip and left the tree, carrying a bag of peaches. Her mind was filled with Jiang Sui's drunken appearance.
She wonder how he's doing...
He hadn't been to class in long time. Su Qing lowered her head and unknowingly reached the boy's building. Her feet felt heavy, and she didn't know how to move.
"Qing Qing, I'm here!"
Liu Ranran called out. She trotted towards Su Qing, looking at her, her mind wandering.
"Qing Qing, you've come the wrong way. My house is this way. Come on, come on, my mom wants you to go upstairs."
Su Qing, still in her slippers, was grabbed by Liu Ranran's wrist as she ran upstairs.
Su Qing, still in her trance, didn't have time to refuse before Liu Ranran pulled her to her door. The enthusiastic Mrs. Liu was already standing there and took Su Qing's bag.
"Come on, what are you taking? Come in. No need to change your shoes, we're family."
Su Qing looked at her empty hands, regained her composure, and took Liu Ranran's hand, politely greeting her. Mrs. Liu beamed, letting her sit on the sofa while she went to get them some food.
The warm little home, bathed in bright sunlight, was unlike Jiang Sui's simple home. Liu Ranran's was crammed to the brim.
"Qing Qing, eat quickly! What are you daydreaming about?"
Su Qing came back to her senses. She was thinking of Jiang Sui again. She pinched her brows and cleared her mind.
Su Qing simply stared at the fruit on the table. It was Jiang Sui's favorite strawberry.
His refrigerator was filled with the pitiful smell of strawberries.
"Strawberries are so sweet, Qing Qing."
