Su Li was furious, rendered speechless by the verbal abuse.
She had originally thought Qu An would just hurl a few insults and be done with it.
But Su Li had underestimated the fury of a Qu An who felt deceived and insulted.
The next day, Su Li got a whole new perspective on her usually cheerful and upbeat classmate, Qu An.
The moment Su Li walked in, she sensed something was wrong.
As soon as she entered, the once-boisterous classroom fell strangely silent.
Then her classmates' gazes turned toward her—some were odd, others evasive. Not a single one was normal.
Amidst the silence, Qu An's disdainful scoff was especially conspicuous.
Su Li frowned and looked at Qu An, only to see he wasn't looking at her at all.
Frowning, Su Li sat down next to Chang E and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Chang E's expression was complicated and pained. "It's Qu An. He said you... he said you..."
Chang E seemed unable to get the words out. As she hesitated, the bell for class rang.
