Chapter 276 Coming
Zhu Qing’s words were already quite ruthless.
Liu Yilan’s face flushed with anger as she exclaimed, "Who are you calling a freeloader? We’re all in the same dormitory. If you don’t want to lend, then don’t, but is there any need to be so offensive?"
Zhu Qing finally set down her book and looked at her directly, a mocking curve formed at her lips, "Do you think the hot water falls from the sky? You know full well your kettle is empty, yet you don’t go and fill it up yourself, preferring to use someone else’s. Isn’t that a bit thick-skinned?"
Hearing this, Liu Yilan’s face turned even redder, but she wasn’t one to back down easily. She retorted, "We’re all classmates; what’s wrong with asking for a sip of water? It’s not a big deal—I can just let you have some back later, can’t I? Acting all high and mighty all the time, I never would have guessed you to be such a petty person. Can you guarantee that there’ll never come a time when you need help from others?"
"Only those with no prospects rely on others for help, waiting for pies to fall from the sky," Zhu Qing picked up her book again, averting her eyes, filled with disdain towards Liu Yilan.
Liu Yilan was also a proud individual and was nearly driven mad by the mockery. Everyone was a university student from the same department; what gave her the right to look down on others? And to say that Liu Yilan was pathetic for accepting favors, wasn’t she herself arrogant and devoid of empathy?
She placed her hands on her hips, looking ready to continue the argument when the others quickly interceded, "We’re all classmates, let it go. Yilan, I have half a cup of water here, make do with it. Stop arguing, or the girls from the next dormitory will complain."
Liu Yilan took the water from Feng Erxi, poured most of it into her cup, and drank it all in one gulp, shooting Zhu Qing a look still filled with unresolved feelings. She said, "Fellow students, you’ve all seen what kind of person Zhu Qing is. If she ever needs something in the future, I want you all as my witnesses—I won’t be offering a hand. We won’t need her little trinkets in the future."
