Although everyone knew that no one was perfect and everyone had their own selfishness, it was unacceptable to turn against a friend.
Chu Mei’s expression turned ugly as she nodded. “I understand. I’m really sorry.”
Luo Xi ignored her.
Hua Feifei and Zhou Yao exchanged complicated looks. They originally thought that their words towards Chu Mei were too harsh, but now it was clear that Luo Xi was the one being truly formidable.
Chu Mei might find it awkward to hang out with them in the future.
They felt it was a pity, but Luo Xi was right. Regardless of whether Chu Mei did it intentionally or not, she had exploited Luo Xi to gain attention and didn’t deserve their friendship!
Moreover, Chu Mei always apologized verbally without taking any real action.
If they had made a mistake, they would have proactively sought out Luo Xi to apologize. It was not like Chu Mei. She only realized her mistakes when confronted by others and only thought of apologizing.
After coming to this realization, everyone quickly regained their spirits. Hua Feifei didn’t forget to do Luo Xi’s makeup. Her skills were excellent, and soon the look was complete. Luo Xi, who had been quite healthy, now looked pale and weak. It was really pitiful!
Luo Xi looked at her reflection in the mirror and felt conflicted. “Is this really okay? I feel like I look like I have cancer. Are those dark circles too exaggerated…”
“It needs to be exaggerated so that people can see how serious your injury is. It was too much for them to scold a wounded person!” Hua Feifei huffed.
“Alright then.” Luo Xi felt it was time to make an appearance, especially since her fans on Weibo were concerned about her well-being. They somehow got the news about her injury, and now they were asking if she had recovered.
“Let’s go. You shouldn’t wear a hat or anything. With your injury, it might press against it and cause more harm.” Hua Feifei tossed the hat aside.
Luo Xi nodded.
Wearing a hat would ruin the makeup.
“Oh my god, isn’t that the school beauty? She looks so weak. She must be injured. Let’s go check on her.”
“How pitiful. She’s still coming to school like this.”
“I heard from their class teacher that Luo Xi has been studying really hard lately. She ranked third in the class last time!”
“Exactly. Who says she’s useless? She’s clearly talented, okay?”
“Yes. She’s a big star now, and I heard she even landed a role. When the time comes, we have to support her!”
As more and more people gathered, Hua Feifei stood by with a protective expression and said, “Everyone, don’t crowd. We’re all in the same school. We see each other every day. What’s so special about it?”
While everyone found her words reasonable, they still took out their phones to snap pictures.
Not far away, Chu Mei and another girl with her wore complicated expressions as they watched.
“Look at her, she’s a public figure now, but she’s not even wearing a hat. I think she’s doing it on purpose to get photographed,” the girl said and glanced at Chu Mei, whose expression was not very good. Seeing that Chu Mei wasn’t wearing a hat either, she was slightly speechless and explained, “Don’t misunderstand, she’s so popular now, and not wearing a hat isn’t an option. Who knows what rumors might pop up online if the photos are posted online? You don’t need to worry about that.” After all, no one was around.
