Chapter 094: Who Told You That Was Just a Bluff?

A faint sting shot through Zongping Di, and he cried out instinctively, going limp and collapsing to the floor.

The cafeteria burst into commotion. White First Snow calmly packed away her acupuncture kit, utterly unconcerned.

The ancestral name may not be insulted.

Before the man involved even had time to speak, a tall figure rushed over from afar and barked at her without warning, “Miss White, how can you injure another student on campus?”

He wore the loose uniform issued to male students, the buttons of his black jacket undone to reveal the shirt beneath. Youthful energy clung to him, and his looks were indeed handsome.

It was none other than Morning Star Xu.

Starfield Duan’s expression changed, and he immediately said, “That is not how you put it. Didn’t you see the way Zongping Di was looking at Vivi?”

He looked as though he wanted to strip the girl bare. Brazenly so.

Starfield Duan was almost ashamed to share the same sex as him.

Xu Starry momentarily froze. Seeing Starfield Duan’s slightly cold gaze, the unease in his heart only deepened.

Although Starfield Duan’s leap from the rooftop had not made the news, the matter had already spread quietly throughout the upper circles of Sea City.

It had happened right after Starfield Duan left his house. Even yesterday, the police had come by to take a statement and ask questions.

Xu Starry felt an indistinct sense of unease, as though Starfield Duan might have discovered something.

At the same time, he felt a sting of hurt and bitterness.

Did Starfield Duan think he was only fit to be a friend, but not a brother? Did that mean he had no right to return to the Duan family?

Looking at Starfield Duan and White First Snow, Xu Starry repeated himself, “Whatever the case, Miss White, you cannot hurt people on campus…”

White First Snow tossed the acupuncture kit back into her backpack and asked coolly, “How exactly did I hurt anyone?”

No sooner had she spoken than Zongping Di, supported by Cherry Gao, stood up and moved about a little here and there. “I’m fine. Perfectly fine.”

He could walk, jump, and speak.

Just a moment ago, the little girl had acted so fearless that she seemed unafraid of anyone. In the end, wasn’t she only trying to scare him? Would she really dare to do something that would actually hurt him?

Zongping Di sneered in disdain.

White First Snow smiled and looked at the embarrassed Xu Starry. “Did you hear that, Mr. Xu? He’s perfectly fine.”

“I’ve finished eating. I’m going back to the classroom.” With those words, White First Snow turned and headed out of the cafeteria first.

Starfield Duan gave Xu Starry a complicated look, picked up the tray White First Snow had left behind and put it away, then hurried off with Soft Su to catch up to her.

Standing there alone, Xu Starry felt awkward under the mocking looks of the students around him.

He had just stood up for Zongping Di, only for the man to turn out to be perfectly unharmed, better than ever...

“Did Xu Starry have a fight with Starfield Duan? Those two seem really off.”

“Wow, does that mean Starfield Duan is ignoring Xu Starry now?”

“…”

The murmurs swelled around him. Xu Starry’s face flushed red and white with embarrassment, and he quickly dodged everyone’s gaze and fled.

Over here, Starfield Duan and Soft Su caught up to White First Snow. Starfield Duan said with relief, “Vivi, it’s a good thing you didn’t make a move in public. Otherwise I definitely wouldn’t have been able to handle it, and I would have had to ask my fourth uncle to step in.”

Soft Su trailed beside her, gazing at White First Snow with worshipful eyes, stars practically sparkling within them. “Miss White, you’re amazing! You even managed to scare Zongping Di, the captain of the basketball team!”

White First Snow’s red lips curved slightly. “Who told you I was trying to scare him?”

The ancestral name may not be moved against lightly. Once it does move, it always takes a layer of skin with it.

Starfield Duan and Soft Su both froze at the same time. “Huh?” Not scaring him?

White First Snow smiled faintly. “He’s indeed still running around just fine. I just don’t know whether that particular part of his still works.”
