TFSRITA Chapter 129

Yan Qing nodded in satisfaction, then stopped looking at them. She took out her phone and was about to order delivery when she saw a call from Chu Zhao.

She answered the call and spoke gently, “Hello~”

The other five girls in the room exchanged silent glances, their bodies shaking slightly.

The once pitiful girl had suddenly become a big bad wolf, and now she was going to turn back into a cute little thing.

Their expressions were complicated as they applied medicine to the places they had been hit, their eyes red.

Diao Xinyi slowly started to cry as she applied the ointment, sobbing, “Wuwuwu…”

The others also had poor expressions, their moods low.

After all, they had been beaten, and not lightly either. Anyone would be upset, especially since they were the ones who had bullied Yan Qing before. They had even planned to teach her another lesson today, which was why they had provoked her.

But in the end, they were the ones who got beaten.

It was embarrassing, a blow to their pride.

However, the situation made them too ashamed to tell their parents or teachers, so they stayed silent.

The girls, dejected, didn’t dare to speak in the dorm. They just sent messages from their phones and hurriedly left.

The door was carefully closed, and the sound was very quiet.

Yan Qing glanced at them, her smile cold, but her voice gentle.

“Mm, I’m getting some homework done. Are you drawing?”

“Not yet…” Chu Zhao replied softly.

He was feeling restless, watching Yan Qing leave. After holding it in for a while, he finally drew a picture, but he couldn’t take it anymore. At that moment, he called her, and as soon as he heard her voice, his irritation faded away.

He didn’t even know what to say, but he just didn’t want to hang up. The paint and brushes were right beside him, but at that moment, he didn’t feel like picking them up.

Yan Qing noticed this and said, “I’ll tidy up the dorm a bit. We don’t have to hang up, you can call me anytime, okay?”

Chu Zhao’s eyes lit up, and he replied eagerly, “Mm!”

The call didn’t disconnect. On the other end, the sound of things being moved could be heard as she tidied up the wardrobe and desk.

Chu Zhao held the phone, listening.

Chu Yang, who was nearby, felt a sour pang in his heart. When he saw his older brother still tightly holding the phone, looking dazed, he couldn’t help but say, “I bought you Bluetooth headphones, you don’t have to hold the phone.”

Chu Zhao didn’t respond.

Chu Yang wasn’t discouraged, so he moved closer and said, “Look, with these, you can listen to her and paint at the same time. Really!”

Chu Zhao’s eyes flickered, and he finally looked at him.

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow, his usually serious face now showing a bit of playfulness. He cautiously asked, “Want me to set it up for you?”

Chu Zhao didn’t speak but continued to look at him.

A glimmer of joy passed through Chu Yang’s eyes. He carefully took the phone, and connected the Bluetooth headphones, and once the connection was made, the sound from the phone stopped.

Chu Zhao’s expression tightened when he realized something was wrong, but before he could react, Chu Yang quickly placed the two earbuds in his ears.

The sound returned. Though it wasn’t Yan Qing’s voice, it was still a voice he could hear clearly.

Chu Zhao’s eyes narrowed slightly, just for a moment, but it was enough to show his satisfaction. Chu Yang couldn’t help but smile, wanting to ruffle his older brother’s hair, but he held back, afraid of angering him. He quietly stepped away.

With the phone set aside, Chu Zhao, now wearing the headphones, softly asked, “Can you hear me?”

On the other end, Yan Qing’s voice immediately responded, a little distant but clear in his ears. “I can hear you. What’s up?”

Chu Zhao pursed his lips, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He didn’t answer. His delicate eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he picked up the paint and brushes, quietly resuming his work.

Yan Qing, seeing this, continued with her tasks.

Chu Yang watched for a while, noticing that everything seemed fine. His eyes then briefly glanced at the freshly painted oil painting. A sharp pang of jealousy hit him as he saw that it was a painting of Yan Qing leaving the Chu family’s house. Though his mom, dad, and himself had been there at the time, in the painting… there was only Yan Qing!

Wasn’t that frustrating?

Chu Yang clutched his chest, feeling like his heart had just experienced a heart attack. He left in frustration and went upstairs to handle his work. It had been an unexpected early departure, and all his tasks had been handled by his diligent assistant, who had even sent them back to his house.

The third year of high school didn’t include military training. On the second day of school, everyone just started their classes without any class adjustments, so it was still the same group of classmates.

The original owner wasn’t good at studies and was at the bottom of the class. As a result, she was placed in the worst class, which was mostly made up of athletes, with a small number of students just coasting through. Even Yuan Hua, the school’s heartthrob, didn’t have great grades.

On the first day of class, Yan Qing deliberately wore a new dress that Zhou Huaiya had bought for her.

She had money now, but all these clothes didn’t need to be bought by her. Zhou Huaiya seemed so grateful that she almost filled Yan Qing’s room with various beautiful clothes—skirts, long pants, short-sleeve shirts, jackets, and more.

In addition to the clothes, Zhou Huaiya also bought top-tier skincare products that were appropriate for Yan Qing’s age. If Yan Qing hadn’t stopped her, she would have bought enough to fill her room. She even prepared a room to be her closet, but Yan Qing refused, thinking it would be too much trouble, so Zhou Huaiya gave up on that idea.

As a result, Yan Qing’s current style was completely different from two months ago.

The new dress was a pale purple, a color that looked great on her fair skin. Her previously dull yellow hair had been cut short, just long enough to tie into a tiny ponytail. Recently, her nutrition had improved, and her new hair was already dark. The older hair had become much smoother due to the effect of spiritual spring water.

Her eyes were as bright as ever, and her lips had more color. Though her limbs were still slender, she had gained a bit of weight, making her look slightly fuller. Overall, she appeared as a slightly delicate and beautiful young girl, and this delicate look emphasized her fragility.
