Chapter 210: Chapter 29: Reserved? _2

Watching Shen Chi leave, Lin Xiaoguai silently sighed. Never mind, since Shen Chi had never formally confessed his feelings to her, why should she, a woman, be the first to speak up?

After mentally repeating this several times, Lin Xiaoguai finally calmed down.

—This was absolutely not evading the issue, just preserving a girl’s dignity!

As soon as she pushed open the door to dorm room 406, a cup came flying towards her face. Fortunately, Lin Xiaoguai reacted in time to dodge to the side.

"Lu Rong, who let you use our cup!" Zhu Huixi’s voice, full of anger, came from inside.

Lin Xiaoguai carefully walked in and saw Lu Rong standing with her back to the door. Opposite her, Zhu Huixi stood in front of the window, unable to contain her fury. Yang Xiaoli was not there; Lin Xiaoguai didn’t know if she hadn’t arrived yet or had gone out.

Lin Xiaoguai turned back to see the glass cup smashed to smithereens on the floor and asked with some confusion, "Huihui?"

Looking up at her, the anger on Zhu Huixi’s face subsided for a moment, then quickly surged back. She stepped forward to grab her, saying, "Xiao Guai, you came at just the right time. Look what Lu Rong has done!"

Lin Xiaoguai, pulled by Zhu Huixi to the desk, saw her own cup, which had been clean, now filled with greasy residue, even with some vegetable leaves and rice grains inside.

"What’s going on?" she frowned.

Zhu Huixi glared at Lu Rong and said, "It’s Lu Rong, of course. Taking advantage of us being out, she used our cups to fetch her food, if that isn’t deliberate nastiness, what is?"

"What’s the big deal, just borrowing your cups for a second. Is it worth raising such a fuss? You act so kind but turn out to be so petty," Lu Rong was still making sarcastic comments.

"Taking without permission is theft," Lin Xiaoguai said coldly.

It was her first time showing her cold face, not to mention Lu Rong, even Zhu Huixi was startled.

You know, when Lin Xiaoguai got cold, she certainly had a certain authority—after all, in her previous life, she was an editor who managed an entire magazine, capable of showing an iron fist when necessary.

Swallowing nervously, Lu Rong said weakly, "I forgot to bring my lunchbox, and you guys weren’t here, right?"

"You’re full of money, aren’t you? Why don’t you just buy one?" Zhu Huixi didn’t believe her for a second, especially since Lu Rong didn’t use her own cup or Yang Xiao Li’s big enamel mug, but instead chose to use hers and Lin Xiaoguai’s plastic one—clearly because theirs looked nicer.

Plus, the cup used for fetching food yesterday was still greasy and unclean today. Did she take them for fools?

"I don’t want to hear your excuses. Our drinking cups have been defiled by you. We definitely don’t want them anymore, so pay us for them with money," Lin Xiaoguai was already somewhat irritated, and Lu Rong coming up to provoke her made her lose all patience.

Did she think she was an easy target?

"No way, I’m not paying!" Lu Rong refused, shaking her head, "Why should I compensate? That cup is just dirty, it’s not unusable after a wash, and as for Zhu Huixi’s cup, she broke it herself. Why should I pay for that?"

Lin Xiaoguai didn’t bother with a verbal fight. Instead, she walked to Lu Rong’s desk, pulled out a tin pencil case, counted out one yuan, and put it in her pocket.

Lu Rong was stunned, starting to protest, but Zhu Huixi, who understood the situation, stepped forward and pushed her.

Lu Rong stumbled to the ground and looked up furiously, "Your two broken cups are worth a few cents? Why take my one yuan?" She was out of money and could ask Uncle Yu for more, but because of Huang Xue Mei and Yu Liangcai, it had been hard to get money lately.

Moreover, why should she give her hard-earned cash to these two little bitches?

Initially, seeing her fall to the ground, Zhu Huixi felt guilty and intended to help her up, but seeing her true colors, that guilt vanished. With hands on her hips, she retorted, "That glass cup was a gift from my uncle, and it’s an imported item. You think you can buy another for a few pennies? As for Xiao Guai’s cup, anyone with eyesight can tell it wasn’t cheap."

To avoid attracting attention, Lin Xiaoguai brought the more common items to school. She was used to using a mug, but the one she brought to school was a plain plastic cup, which looked different from the monotonous styles and colors of this era, making it look particularly refined and beautiful.

Lin Xiaoguai didn’t argue with Lu Rong. She split off 50 cents for Zhu Huixi and threw her plastic cup into the trash, ignoring Lu Rong’s shouts claiming the cup as hers now.

She had come to understand, there was no reasoning with someone like Lu Rong; it was simply easier to take direct action.

Lu Rong, feeling both indignant and powerless against the two of them, got up huffily and left.

"Xiao Guai, why do I feel so incredibly satisfied?" With just the two of them left in the dormitory, Zhu Huixi excitedly said, "I’ve been grossed out by Lu Rong enough. Every word she said was more irritating than the last; I wouldn’t have broken the cup otherwise in anger."

"I’ve learned my lesson. Being polite with a person like Lu Rong doesn’t work. If you’re polite, she just takes it for granted and comes to walk all over you," Zhu Huixi may be cheerful and quick with words, but she was not irrational. Facing someone like Lu Rong, she was lost.

But after this incident, she had finally found a way to deal with Lu Rong.

"It seems we’ll have to be careful with our stuff in the future. If we are not in the dorm, we better lock our cups in the drawer," Lin Xiaoguai sighed.

That said, having a roommate like Lu Rong, who was such a headache, was a real annoyance.

Zhu Huixi, however, was not optimistic, "I think that alone won’t be effective. What if next time she messes with our washbasins, towels, toothbrushes, and the like? How can we prevent that?" Those couldn’t be locked in a drawer.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoguai only felt a headache coming on, "Let’s wait and see. In the meantime, we should report the incident with Zhu Huixi to the dormitory supervisor."

She knew that today’s incident wouldn’t get Lu Rong punished, but that didn’t prevent her from using this opportunity to make school authorities more aware of Lu Rong’s deplorable character.
