Chapter 367: Chapter 367

It was already frustrating enough not to master the movements, but then Lian Qi just had to come over and act obnoxious, completely igniting Wei Lejun’s fury this time.

"Lian Qi! Just say that again if you dare!" Wei Lejun stopped practicing, picked up the fake stone she had just flicked to the ground, and hurled it at Lian Qi.

It didn’t hit him. Lian Qi dodged it with a quick tilt of his head.

Dodging was one thing, but that brat went ahead and made faces at Wei Lejun, looking utterly delighted at her misfortune.

For the first time in her life, Wei Lejun felt like anger had taken physical form. Her lungs felt like they might explode. She swore this was the first time she’d met someone in real life as infuriatingly obnoxious as Lian Qi.

Usually, because she was intimidating enough, the boys she’d encountered wouldn’t dare mess with her lightly. Only Lian Qi kept poking at her sore spots relentlessly.

"I’ll kill you!" Having missed with her first throw, Wei Lejun grabbed another fake stone and threw again.

Missed a second time. Missed a third time...

As Lian Qi grew increasingly smug, he exaggeratedly wiggled his head, flaunting his untouchable stance to the max: "Big Mama Monkey, you can’t hit me, just can’t hit me! Nyeh-nyeh-nyeh~"

Sang Ning, speechless, turned to Huang Chengzi and asked, "How old is this guy? Why is he so immature? Even elementary school kids wouldn’t do this kind of thing nowadays."

Huang Chengzi looked at Lian Qi with utter disdain: "Him? He’s 21, a year older than you. But with his tiny brain, I’d guess his mental development stopped at one or two years old, tops." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽

Unable to hit him and with nowhere else to vent her anger, Wei Lejun’s gaze drifted until it landed on Sang Ning and Huang Chengzi. She redirected her fury to the two of them instead.

"See? This is all thanks to you suggesting we do movements. You just had to bring up this great idea. Now look, I’m getting made fun of—happy now?"

Wei Lejun stormed over, first unleashing on Huang Chengzi, then turning to Sang Ning with a cold look and saying, "And you—you’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? Why’d you design such simple movements for the others and give me the hardest ones? Sure, I admit my temper’s a bit hot, but just because I offended you on our first meeting, you’re deliberately taking revenge on me ?"

Out of things to throw, Wei Lejun simply yanked the hair clip off her head and tossed it in front of Sang Ning and Huang Chengzi: "If you like it so much, practice it yourselves. I can’t do it, so count me out!"

"What’s wrong with you? If you wanna leave, just go. You think I care whether or not you stick around?" Sang Ning kicked the hair clip back toward Wei Lejun, her tone hard and unwilling to compromise.

Wei Lejun stomped hard on the clip, smashing it to bits, and sneered coldly: "Fine, you play around with these two idiots all you want!"

Huang Chengzi looked utterly baffled. When did she become one of "the idiots"?

She wanted to retort, but Wei Lejun didn’t give her the chance. After glaring at Sun Bangyu, she stomped off in a fury.

Sun Bangyu also looked bewildered. Shy and timid, she didn’t argue even when insulted. She could only stew in frustration. All she did was keep quiet—how did that make her an idiot?

Watching Wei Lejun’s retreating figure, Lian Qi was a little dazed himself. Had he gone too far?

"Is girls’ friendship really this fragile? I just said a few random things, and the whole dynamic between you all fell apart. Tsk tsk tsk, women really are glass-hearted," Lian Qi muttered, shamelessly offering provocative remarks that made people want to punch him.

Noticing Sang Ning slightly lean forward, as if gearing up to do something, Huang Chengzi quickly reached out to stop her: "Don’t, Sang Ning. Let me deal with this jerk!"

True to her word, Huang Chengzi, fearless thanks to her strength, marched up to Lian Qi, completely disregarded his six-foot stature, and hoisted him over her shoulder like a bundle of firewood.

"You’re right—I am glass-hearted. If I don’t settle the score with you today, this glass heart of mine won’t recover!" Huang Chengzi carried Lian Qi around the dance studio, running back and forth with absurd ease, her face displaying a wild, unhinged expression that sent everyone scattering to give way.

Meanwhile, Lian Qi was yelling and screaming for mercy the entire time, completely devoid of dignity.

The worst part was, being carried around the dance studio like that meant his future reputation was as good as ruined.

Having left, Wei Lejun stewed with even greater frustration. It had to be because of her earlier comments offending Sang Ning—she was sure Sang Ning was deliberately making things hard for her.

Like Sun Bangyu, Wei Lejun only had a few years of dance training. But Sang Ning gave Sun Bangyu simple movements while hers were difficult. If this wasn’t targeted, she wouldn’t believe it.

Over this matter, Wei Lejun seethed inwardly throughout the day. From the afternoon fitness training class to the evening performance class, she refused to say a single word to the others in their dorm.

Before Sang Ning came, in such situations, Sun Bangyu might not say much, but Huang Chengzi would talk to her, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

Now it was different—Sun Bangyu and Huang Chengzi seemed like two lackeys constantly circling Sang Ning. They didn’t pay her anger any mind, nor did they try to break the tension.

Fine! Trying to exclude her on purpose, huh?

We’ll see who ends up begging whom in the future!

After the evening performance class ended, Wei Lejun purposely waited for the other dormmates to leave before heading back herself.

Huang Chengzi couldn’t handle silent treatment for long. With Wei Lejun ignoring everyone for the entire day, it was hard not to feel the tension among people sharing the dorm and seeing each other constantly during training.

Thinking it through, Huang Chengzi decided to make the first move and said, "Lejun, wanna walk back together? We..."

"No need, you all go ahead. I’ve got something to do," Wei Lejun said without looking up, focused on packing her stuff and not giving them even a glance.

Huang Chengzi hit a dead end. At that moment, Sun Bangyu came over and tugged at her sleeve.

Sun Bangyu’s action relieved some of the awkwardness, and Huang Chengzi didn’t push Wei Lejun further. Resigned, she said, "Alright then, we’ll head out first."

With the dormmates leaving in her peripheral vision, Wei Lejun finally raised her head—only for a huge face to suddenly appear in her line of sight, practically colliding with it. She gasped, startled, her heart almost leaping out of her chest.

When she realized what was happening, she slapped the person in front of her without hesitation: "Lian Qi, are you crazy or what?!"

Wei Lejun’s slap landed squarely on his face, and Lian Qi was hit so hard his nose hurt as though it might crack. Clutching his nose, he teared up from the pain: "Big Mama Monkey, your friends have abandoned you—why are you taking it out on me instead?"

"Friends?" Wei Lejun sneered coldly and scoffed, "Who said they’re my friends? I never make friends with idiots. And someone as stupid as you better not show up in front of me again, or I might smash you to pieces!"

Wei Lejun raised her hand to fake another strike, and Lian Qi immediately threw up his hands defensively.
