Chapter 895 Had a Bad Fall

Fortunately, the owner of the Mercedes-Benz car was not Qiao Nan’s fiancé. In that case, there was no need for them to gain Qiao Nan’s favor.

But they missed the chance to take the elevator which was the express and fastest route to a bright future.

Qiao Nan motioned for Tang Jiayun to give way, but Tang Jiayun kept teasing her. She blocked the entrance, refusing to let Qiao Nan, who had her hands full of belongings, pa.s.s. “Qiao Nan, make the introductions.”

Tang Jiayun wanted to get to know the cousin of the Mercedes-Benz car’s owner. If Qiao Nan did not introduce the cousin to her, she would not let Qiao Nan have a change of dormitory.

“…” Qiao Nan pursed her lips in anger at Tang Jiayun’s ruffian behavior. She was not a pushover. She was merely being polite to her. Since Tang Jiayun had taken her kindness for granted, she would not be nice to her anymore.

Qiao Nan was about to shout at her to scram to a side when s.h.i.+ Qing showed up. “Qiao Nan, you are indeed taking your sweet time. Brother Feng Meng has been waiting for a long time downstairs. Do you have so many belongings? I have already offered to help you but you refused. Dawdling will only get on my nerves. Come. Pa.s.s your belongings to 1

s.h.i.+ Qing behaved as if she did not notice Tang Jiayun, who was blocking the door.

In fact, s.h.i.+ Qing really did not see Tang Jiayun. She was here to look for Qiao Nan and she did not care about other people around her. She saw Qiao Nan right away when she was reaching the dormitory. It was hard not to notice Qiao Nan who carried a lot of her belongings with her.

s.h.i.+ Qing was a tomboy who spent a lot of her time in the army. She was physically strong and was able to subdue Zhu Baoguo even when they were still in high school. Men would be fearful of s.h.i.+ Qing, notwithstanding a dainty Tang Jiayun.

Tang Jiayun had yet to introduce herself to the person that she was looking for, and she had been knocked sideways by s.h.i.+ Qing.

Qiao Nan, who had her hands full, had her vision blocked. She could not tell that Tang Jiayun had lost her balance after the b.u.mp that she had with s.h.i.+ Qing. But she sensed that something was falling toward her. Therefore, she darted to a side deftly.

Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan who witnessed Tang Jiayun’s fall stood up immediately to stop her fall.

It would be very painful to fall onto the tiled floor.

“My goodness!” Tang Jiayun, who lost her balance, grabbed hold of Yu Xiaoxiao’s hand. Although she was able to break the fall, her knees still sc.r.a.ped against the floor. She yelled in great pain.

s.h.i.+ Qing rushed forward to help Tang Jiayun stand up. “This schoolmate over here, I am really sorry. I didn’t see you. It was an accident. Are you alright?”

Tang Jiayun was in such pain that there were tears in her eyes. She reminded herself of the Mercedes-Benz car downstairs and stopped herself from shouting at s.h.i.+ Qing. She smiled. “I… I am alright. I know that you did not do it on purpose. I did not really hurt myself. You do not have to feel bad about it.”

It was good for her that the person downstairs was not attached. Given some time and opportunity, she might be the person sitting in the pa.s.senger seat of the Mercedes-Benz car.

Tang Jiayun wanted s.h.i.+ Qing to know that she had a good temper and was gracious so that she could leave a good impression on her. She did not expect that s.h.i.+ Qing was unlike the usual girls and that she behaved unlike them. “Oh, it’s good that you are alright. I am really sorry.”

With that, s.h.i.+ Qing was no longer bothered that she knocked into Tang Jiayun and caused her to fall. In fact, this was not a serious matter. If Tang Jiayun hurt herself, s.h.i.+ Qing would not s.h.i.+rk responsibility. She would help dress her wounds.

However, Tang Jiayun said that she was alright and she did not sustain any injuries. s.h.i.+ Qing thus put this matter aside and went on to take Qiao Nan’s belongings from her. “I am faster than you. I will make a move first. You can catch up with me. We still have to clean the house.”

The house that she and Qiao Nan would be living in belonged to Elder Lin. He seldom came to the capital and there was no one to tidy and look after the house. She and Qiao Nan would have to clean the house by themselves.

s.h.i.+ Qing moved very quickly. Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan, who were in a daze, had yet to come back to their senses.

Tang Jiayun knew that s.h.i.+ Qing was leaving and wanted to stop her. However, she was still reeling in pain from her fall and she had to rest for the pain to ease.

Seeing that she was about to miss her golden chance, Tang Jiayun rushed to catch up with s.h.i.+ Qing. However, as she had yet to recover from her fall, her knees gave way and she plopped down on the floor.

Tang Jiayun faced the entrance as she fell, and Qiao Nan happened to be standing at the entrance.

Several cla.s.smates pa.s.sed by and witnessed the scene. They were taken aback by what they had seen. “Tang Jiayun, who are you kneeling to? Or rather, is your dormitory preparing for a certain program? Are you seriously kneeling down on the floor?”

Teenagers nowadays, especially students from Peking University, were prideful. They were not from the movie and theater faculty. Why would they kneel to someone else easily?

Previously, Tang Jiayun was as proud as a peac.o.c.k. They could never imagine that Tang Jiayun would sacrifice for the arts. “What is the program? When will it be shown? Is it related to the club? Remember to notify us before the actual performance. We will definitely be there to support you.”

The two female students covered their mouths with books and left laughing heartily. “Did Tang Jiayun join the drama club?”

“How will I know? The drama club is not our school’s forte. The drama club at the Beijing Film Academy is the best. I thought that Tang Jiayun is very ambitious and she will only join the promising clubs in the school. Why would she join such an unknown club and put so much effort into it? She is so funny…”

Qiao Nan cleared her throat upon hearing the comments that the two female students made about Tang Jiayun. “Well, you can continue with the rehearsal. I will make a move first. Goodbye.”

Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan had no choice but to walk toward Tang Jiayun. It was obvious that Tang Jiayun had a bad fall just now. Her eyes had turned red and teary. “Are you alright? Have a seat.”

Tang Jiayun felt weak. She allowed Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan to help her up. “By the way, do we have such a cla.s.smate in our school? I have no impression of her despite having gone through half a month of military training.” If she knew that there was such a promising stock in the cla.s.s, she had no need to be saddled with Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan. It was a waste of her time and effort.

Yu Xiaoxiao seemed to know what was on Tang Jiayun’s mind. She pursed her lips, feeling displeased. “Since you hate Qiao Nan and alienate her, you will definitely not know that schoolmate. She is not from our cla.s.s or our faculty. She is close to Qiao Nan because they are from Ping Cheng. They are from the same high school.”
