Wu Mengmeng hasn’t returned yet.

There’s only one person in the dormitory, Hu Xinlei.

Jiang Yanan also hasn’t come back; who knows where they’ve gone.

When Hu Xinlei saw Lu Yinxing appearing at the door, she sneered, "Didn’t you say your brother doesn’t like gatherings? So why did he end up going? You never wanted to invite me and Yanan, so you came up with such a lame excuse."

Lu Yinxing was momentarily stunned.

Finally snapping back to reality, she understood what Hu Xinlei was talking about.

Hu Xinlei was holding her phone, scrolling through Weibo.

Lu Yinxing finally understood.

They had originally been surrounded by journalists — surely they were already on the news headlines.

So it was perfectly normal for Hu Xinlei to know that the four of them went to Crab Flavor Pavilion.

But of course, Lu Yinxing also knew Hu Xinlei was mistaken.

Lu Yinxing explained, "It’s because you and Yanan left, we couldn’t get in touch with you at all, so..."

"Lu Yinxing, stop. You’re so hypocritical."

Hu Xinlei stood up and angrily interrupted Lu Yinxing.

Lu Yinxing’s thoughts were in turmoil; she didn’t want to explain anymore.

Lu Yinxing went straight to her bed and, without a word, silently started tidying her bedding.

Seeing Lu Yinxing’s indifferent attitude, Hu Xinlei boiled with anger.

What was she implying? Clearly she didn’t care about Hu Xinlei.

Sure, she was a rich heiress; she did have an impressive brother.

But why look down on her?

In her fury, Hu Xinlei grabbed a cup of water from the table and poured it directly onto Lu Yinxing’s bed.

The water in the cup was still hot; some splashed onto the back of Lu Yinxing’s hand.

Lu Yinxing shook her hand repeatedly from the burn, "Hu Xinlei, what are you doing?"

Turning around, Hu Xinlei wore a smug expression.

Hu Xinlei said, "This is just a small lesson for you, Lu Yinxing. In the future, don’t be so arrogant."

With that, she climbed into her bed, relaxing under her covers.

Lu Yinxing was very angry.

But at that moment, she wasn’t willing to tangle with Hu Xinlei.

Her mind was in chaos, and she couldn’t go to Xia Ye’s apartment now.

Luckily, Wu Mengmeng called just in time, saying she’d be staying out that night.

Lu Yinxing borrowed her bed.

Lu Yinxing lay on the top bunk, but she couldn’t fall asleep, tossing and turning.

Her eyes stared fixedly at the dormitory ceiling.

Lu Yinxing felt like she was wrapped in some kind of unsolvable dilemma.

What to do next? How would she ever face Xia Ye?

If Xia Ye knew about her feelings, how would he see her?

Lu Yinxing almost didn’t sleep all night.

In the days that followed, she wandered through life in a haze.

These days, Lu Yinxing constantly avoided Xia Ye.

Since that night, Lu Yinxing hadn’t gone to Xia Ye’s apartment again.

Even on weekends, Lu Yinxing came up with various excuses not to go home.

Fortunately, during this period they began focused rehearsals.

Yin Yifan and Ye Xinzu also took leave from school and returned.

Now, the three of them practiced every day at the gym, preparing for the final concert on Valentine’s Day.

The relationship between Lu Yinxing and Ye Xinzu also changed.

Actually, now Lu Yinxing understood her own feelings.

Her admiration for Ye Xinzu was nothing more than just admiration, definitely not romantic love.

Lu Yinxing ought to reject him directly.

Since she knew how she felt about Xia Ye, but those feelings could never be revealed.

Lu Yinxing suddenly made an impulsive decision.
