Chapter 47

During the week in the mountains, with Bai Xueling and Li Qinghua, Liu Yu had made up her mind. She had decided to follow the principle of “I won’t provoke others, and I won’t let others provoke me.” She had no intention of starting trouble with them, but she couldn’t stop them from provoking her.

The educated youth group didn’t like Liu Yu. They thought she was fat, ugly, and unpleasant. Bai Xueling, on the other hand, was beautiful, slim, and cute, and everyone loved her.

Liu Yu didn’t need to offend so many people at once. With her eyes wide open, she said something exaggerated and insincere: “Comrade Bai’s singing voice is as heavenly as a fairy from the Jade Pool and as melodious as a bird of paradise on earth. It’s more than just marvelous!”

Her praise was overly exaggerated and lacked sincerity. It was clear she wasn’t genuinely complimenting Bai Xueling. Bai Xueling’s expression soured, but she couldn’t find fault with Liu Yu’s words. So, she could only respond with a forced smile.

Liu Yu turned her face to Wang Changping and whispered, “I’ve almost praised her to the point of being a fairy! But her pitch was off.”

She spoke the truth. In her past life, Liu Yu had attended countless concerts, and Bai Xueling’s singing always failed to impress her.

Wang Changping nodded in agreement. “I also think it was just average.”

The two of them whispered to each other, and eventually, they exchanged a glance and both burst out laughing.

Bai Xueling noticed the two of them talking and began to frown. Wang Changping was quite good-looking and one of the best among the educated youth. She had even tried to strike up a conversation with him before, but he had ignored her.

The person who ignored her was now happily mingling with Liu Yu, that fat girl. They seemed to be having a great time, smiling and laughing. Did Bai Xueling not compare to that fat girl?

She couldn’t let Liu Yu get away with this!

That night, while resting on the mountain, Bai Xueling began to put her plan into action.

“Brother Li, I’m a bit thirsty.”

As soon as Bai Xueling spoke, Li Qinghua immediately took off his green water bottle and handed it to her. “Drink mine, I added some sugar, it’s sweet.”

Bai Xueling took the bottle, holding it with both hands. She took a small sip, like a bird pecking at water, and then walked over to Liu Yu. “Liu Yu, little sister, you must be thirsty, here, drink some water!”

Liu Yu didn’t dare take it, but thought for a moment, trying to figure out what to say. However, before she could speak, Bai Xueling suddenly tripped and fell to the ground. Possibly hurt, she covered her face with her hands and began sobbing uncontrollably.

“You… with your weak body, why did you come into the mountains?”

Liu Yu instinctively reached out to help her.

But Bai Xueling lifted her tear-streaked face and said, “Liu Yu, I was just worried that you were thirsty, I wanted to give you some water, why did you push me!”

?????

Liu Yu was completely confused. What was going on here?

Bai Xueling cried even harder. “Liu Yu, little sister, how could you bully me like this!”

As Bai Xueling lay on the ground crying pitifully, the other educated youths quickly gathered around, all in an uproar. They unanimously believed that Liu Yu had bullied their beloved Bai Xueling.

“That fat girl! How dare she bully Bai Xueling! We can’t let her off!”

“Who does she think she is? Bai Xueling was just being kind, and she gets treated like this—she must be feeding her donkey liver!”

“Who cares if she’s the daughter of the squad leader? We can’t let Liu Yu off. We have to stand up for Bai Xueling!”

Li Qinghua was especially angry. “Liu Yu, you bullied Bai Xueling last time, and now you’re doing it again! You have no shame!”

“I didn’t! It wasn’t me! Shut up!” Liu Yu wanted nothing more than to grab Bai Xueling by the neck and slap her silly, giving her a dozen slaps across her face.
