Some of the furniture she had ordered for her new apartment had not yet arrived, so Bai Yufei had to return to her dormitory for another two days.
Just as she reached the door of the dormitory, before she could even enter, she heard a commotion and a ruckus from inside. It sounded like the voices of Lin Lii and Gong Mingyue.
"Why did you touch my things!" Lin Lii was holding onto a courier box. Apparently, it had already been taken apart. The object of her anger was none other than Gong Mingyue, who had her arms crossed and a nonchalant expression on her face.
Bai Yufei was shocked by the tense atmosphere in the dorm. She walked over to Xia Tiantian's side and asked her what had happened.
According to Xia Tiantian's narration, Bai Yufei replayed what had happened in her mind: Lin Lii had to participate in the guild activities, so she couldn't rush to the school express delivery office in time to receive a courier before the end of the day. Xia Tiantian was also attending the same event, and Bai Yufei was not in the dormitory. Therefore, Lin Lii had no choice but to ask Gong Mingyue for help in receiving the express delivery.
He didn't expect that when Lin Lii came back, she would understand that there was an opened courier box on the table and Gong Mingyue, who didn't seem to care about it at all.
Don't look at how often Lin Lii was cheerful. She looked cheerful and lively, like she didn't have any worries, but she was also very serious when she was angry.
"Isn't it just a courier? I brought it back for you. See what's wrong. " When Gong Mingyue saw that Bai Yufei had returned, a trace of disgust appeared on her disdainful face.
"But to open my bag without the consent of others, don't you think that's too much!?" Lin Lii was infuriated by Gong Mingyue's attitude, but she still chose to be reasonable.
"Why are you so stingy about a courier?" Gong Mingyue knew she was in the wrong, but she didn't want to lose face or lose her momentum in front of Bai Yufei.
Xia Tiantian was frightened by the dangerous magnetic field where the two were fighting. Her face was a little pale, and she tightly held Bai Yufei's arm, asking her what she should do.
Bai Yufei couldn't bear it any longer. She had thought that Gong Mingyue was just a little sick. She usually liked to be treated like a princess. She could just say a few harsh words to Bai Yufei, but in essence, she wasn't too bad of a person.
Bai Yufei did not expect Gong Mingyue to actually do something so lacking in upbringing, and even causing such a ruckus afterwards. Bai Yufei did not care what Gong Mingyue thought of her, and took a step forward, wanting to speak up for Lin Lii.
"Looks like Miss Gong's etiquette teacher should have his or her salary deducted." Bai Yufei walked leisurely to Lin Lii's side and patted Lin Lii on the shoulder as if she was comforting her. She even slid down Lin Lii's back, which was heaving from being too angry.
Bai Yufei glanced at Gong Mingyue and continued, "To be able to teach a student like you, can I trouble you to tell me the teacher's information about how poor that teacher is?" Such a teacher should be removed from the list of etiquette teachers. "
Gong Mingyue, Lin Lii, and Xia Tiantian simultaneously opened their eyes wide. They did not expect Bai Yufei to actually choose to publicly aid Lin Lii.
Lin Lii's eyes reddened so much that she was on the verge of tears. Gong Mingyue, on the other hand, could not sit still any longer. Her expression became increasingly gloomy, and her previous disdain was replaced with a twisted one due to her exasperation.
"What has it got to do with you!?" "What do you mean?" Gong Mingyue's rationality was on the verge of collapse, and her tone became irritable.
Ignoring the furious Gong Mingyue, Bai Yufei continued to sink down to clear the logic behind her words. As she crossed her arms over her chest, her index finger tapped her arm from time to time. "Do you want me to recommend my etiquette teacher to you? I didn't learn very well either, but at least I knew that ripping off someone else's courier was a cheap and unethical thing to do. "What about you?"
Bai Yufei stared straight at Gong Mingyue, her eyes full of suspicion and disgust. Bai Yufei really hated not respecting the privacy of others.
In the past, she and her brother had no privacy in front of her father. In order to steal the large inheritance that her grandfather had given to Bai Yufei and Bai Yangtian, her father had always investigated openly and secretly for clues. If Bai Yufei wanted to write a diary, she could only do so secretly, afraid of being found out.
Once discovered, it was fine if she didn't find any valuable clues, but Bai Yufei still had to endure her father's ridicule of her young girl's thoughts.
Bai Yufei's serious expression and aura made Gong Mingyue swallow her saliva. She even had the urge to take a step back.
"I was just curious." I just took it apart and didn't touch what was inside. " Gong Mingyue already wanted to back off, but she still held on to her pride, telling her that she couldn't lower her head now. "Anyway, she's going to open it no matter what when she comes back. Doesn't that matter?"
"Where's the difference? Is this yours? Do you have the right to dispose of it and decide when it will open? "You helped Lin Lii get the express delivery, that's something to thank you for. But what makes you think that you have the right to open it just because you helped her?"
Seeing that Gong Mingyue had already lost some of her spirit, Bai Yufei asked in a methodical manner, causing Gong Mingyue to be stunned for a moment.
Lin Lii had already forgotten about her anger and sadness. She stared at Bai Yufei with her eyes wide open, as if Bai Yufei wasn't her dorm mate at the moment, but a shining female hero.
Xia Tiantian was initially dissatisfied with Gong Mingyue's actions, but when she saw Bai Yufei helping out, she secretly praised her in her heart. However, in order to ease up the atmosphere in the dorm and allow Bai Yufei to get off the stage, she decided to smooth things over.
"Alright, there are times when no one knows about it. We can change it with Brightmoon. Next time, whether it's helping us get express delivery or someone else's stuff, we've already made an agreement not to look at each other. Let everyone in the dorm have privacy. " Xia Tiantian walked between the three of them and said as she looked back and forth between them.
Gong Mingyue saw that Xia Tiantian was giving him face, so she didn't say anything else. She didn't apologize, but just answered with an "En" and turned around to return to her seat.
Everyone saw that Gong Mingyue had given in as much as she could, so they stopped pursuing her. Bai Yufei smiled and nodded at Xia Tiantian. If she hadn't come to end this matter in time, her relationship with Gong Mingyue might have really become awkward due to the falling out.
When he looked at Lin Lii again, her eyes were already wet from tears. Bai Yufei remembered that her family lived in a foreign land and she was sensitive to emotions due to her lack of security. Coupled with this big argument, it was normal for her emotions to fluctuate.
Bai Yufei patted Lin Lii's shoulder and told her that she was fine. Everyone just needed to pay attention to her from now on. Lin Lii also suddenly felt that she wasn't alone in this strange city. When she was in trouble, there was still Bai Yufei who was willing to help her.
They were obviously of the same age, but why did Bai Yufei seem so mature and so dependable?
For the first time, Lin Lii treated Bai Yufei as a roommate from the bottom of her heart. It was also the first time she recognized that a roommate was a warm harbor for her in this strange city.
Since then, Bai Yufei felt that Lin Lii and Xia Tiantian's initial estrangement from her had gradually become friendly. If there was an event or a meal, she would call Bai Yufei along. The three of them gradually became closer due to their frequent contact.
Amongst them, Lin Lii's attitude changed the most. She started to rely on Bai Yufei as a mature older sister. She would come to Bai Yufei to discuss any uncertain decisions in life.
Bai Yufei smiled happily. That day, she had helped Lin Lii from the bottom of her heart. Because of her actions, she unexpectedly reaped the benefits of her two friends, Lin Lii and Xia Tiantian.
