183: Why are you polluting our eyes!

Why are you polluting our eyes!

While they were talking, the two of them arrived at the registration office. After completing the admission procedures and paying the tuition fees, they took their luggage and went to their respective dorms.1

Qin Yan carried her bag into the dorms. The other three roommates were already there.

"Hello." A short-haired girl with glasses saw Qin Yan and approached her. "My name is Zhou Daxin. I'm from the neighboring Sanshui City."

The other girl had just arrived and was still packing her things. She stopped what she was doing and came over to introduce herself.

"My name Is Huang Jiajia. I'm from Shenzhen City." A girl with a baby face said. She had a soft southern accent, and her voice was cute and high-pitched, making her sound like a young girl.

The third girl looked a little cold as she sat on her bed with her ear plugs on. She did not introduce herself nor was she interested in knowing Qin Yan. 

Huang Jiajia said in a small voice, "Her name is Ma Haina. She is from Qinhai city. Don't worry about her. She is a little cold."

Qin Yan nodded in understanding. "My name is Qin Yan. I'm from the S city. I took the exam from Shengyang High school," Qin Yan introduced herself.

"Did you come alone? Where's the rest of your luggage?" Jiajia looked around. "Or is this all you brought with you?"

"This is all I have. It's enough for me," Qin Yan did not have much luggage as compared to other girls.

Qin Yan quickly tidied up her bed. Shortly after she finished up, Han Jun sent her a message. Apparently, their group had arrived at the university.

And so, Qin Yan met up with Han Jun, after which the both of them headed to the campus gates. 

Qiao Qing met them on the way. She ran towards Qin Yan and Han Jun panting, "Yan Yan!" 

Qin Yan and Han Jun stopped in their tracks. "Why are you running so fast? You could have called me, we would have waited for you."

Qiao Qing laughed sheepishly scratching her head, "I forgot that I could call you, hehe!"

"Stupid!" Qin Yan flicked Qiao Qing's forehead.

The three of them continued their way to the campus gates.

"Have you guys settled down?" Qin Yan asked the two.

"Yes, I have unpacked my luggage and all my roommates are also there," Qiao Qing replied.

Han Jun did not say anything. Noticing his silence, Qin Yan asked again, "What about you, Han Jun?"

"Hehehe, boss, actually I was tired coming all the way to the university so I slept for a while," he smiled foolishly at Qin Yan.

Qin Yan sighed but didn't say anything about it, "Have your roommates arrived?"

"Umm, yes, two of them are here but one has still not come," Han Jun answered after confirming in his mind.

While talking to each other, the three of them reached the campus gates.

The group of three Xing Ningjing, Jiang Yao and Zhen Kai saw Qin Yan from afar and shouted excitedly, "Boss!"

They all rushed up to Qin Yan and surrounded her. "Big Boss, we missed you so much!"

There were many new students and parents who'd come today, and so there were a lot of people who looked in their direction.

Qin Yan cleared her throat. "Keep a low profile," she said, making a lowering motion with her hand.

"Big Boss, we are all in the capital now. If you have anything to do, feel free to instruct us," said Xing Ningjing.

"Since we're all in the same city, it's convenient for us to meet up." Qin Yan nodded.

On their way back, Han Jun separated from Qiao Qing and Qin Yan for returning to the boys' dormitory while Qin Yan and Qiao Qing walked towards the girls' dormitory.

They were talking to each other when Qin Yan suddenly heard laughter. Such a burst of laughter was especially abrupt in a quiet environment.

"Oh where did this ugly person come from? Why are such people polluting the Beijing University's environment?" The voice belonged to a person who was a student of acting major that Qin Yan had never come into contact with before. 

She laughed evilly, "I don't know why people like this even come out of their houses."

The few girls surrounding her burst into laughter. Their waves of laughter were filled with ridicule.

"Sun Qinglian," Qiao Qing's face paled, "Why are you speaking to me like this?"

Sun Qinglian was a cousin of Qiao Qing. She was her aunt's daughter. Because of the purplish red birthmark on Qiao Qing's face, Sun Qinglian had always looked down on Qiao Qing. Moreover, she not only looked down on Qiao Qing but also insulted her in every way possible.

At first, Sun Qinglian was not that concerned about Qiao Qing as she had everything better than the latter. But since they were the only two girls in the family, Sun Qinglian always enjoyed the attention given by others and felt a sense of superiority in it.

But this time, the attention she had got divided because of Qiao Qing. Sun Qinglian did not know when Qiao Qing had progressed so much to score such good marks. She had gotten into computer applications major and that too in Beijing University. On the other hand, Sun Qinglian got admitted to acting major only. The marks required for computer applications were much higher than that required for acting.

Moreover, in a scholarly family like Qiao and Suns, acting was not considered as something worth doing, but computer applications was something they considered noteworthy. Thus, Sun Qinglian had to hear many rash things from other relatives who constantly compared her to Qiao Qing.

This made the proud Sun Qinglian angry. The girl she always looked down on had progressed faster than her. How could she tolerate this! 

This was the reason she came over to mock Qiao Qing and break her confidence once again. She wanted that Qiao Qing should always hang her head low and never look up.

"Isn't this what you deserve?" Sun Qinglian chuckled. She curled her red lips and said, "You don't even dare to lift your head up because of your ugly face. How dare those people compare me to a coward like you!"

Qiao Qing lowered her head and her body hunched, wishing she could curl up into a ball and hide. She tried her best to hold back her tears as she did not want to embarrass the Qin Yan by crying in public.

She knew that she was worthless and a disgrace. She was cowardly and useless. Qiao Qing's eyes were red, and tears were welling up in her eyes. If she was so embarrassing, Qin Yan would definitely hate her, right?

If it was possible, she really wanted to shout and shut that woman up. However, she didn't dare. She could only stiffen her body, not daring to move as she felt their mocking gazes and listened to their insults.

"Tsk, Qinglian, don't say anymore. Why do you want to waste your breath on an ugly duckling? Let's not pollute our eyes by looking at her anymore," the student beside Sun Qinglian covered her mouth as she looked at Qiao Qing pitifully and mockingly.

"That's right! Why would you face someone like this. Look at her, her face is not even visible because of her scar."

"It feels like her face has been degenerated. Oh god, how is she able to look at herself in mirror?"

"I would have taken my life if I had such a face."

Every word they uttered was like a knife stabbing into Qiao Qing's heart.

'Don't say anymore. Please I beg you, don't say anymore.'

Qiao Qing's eyes were red, and large drops of tears fell from her eyes. She bit her lips tightly, her mouth was filled with the sweet taste of fresh blood.

At this moment, her self-loathing had reached its peak. Because of Qin Yan, she had never experienced insults in her class as the students were all united. Even when the students of other classes loathed her, Qin Yan and group would not let her know about it. So she had not experienced this for a long time making her believe that she was already over it. 

But today her thoughts were proven wrong. She was still a useless good-for-nothing, a disgrace, and a coward who only knew how to cry! Qiao Qing cursed herself repeatedly in her heart, wishing that she could immediately disappear from this world. 

At this moment, a pair of warm hands were placed on her face and held her face up. Qiao Qing was stunned for a moment. She raised her eyes and met Qin Yan's eyes, which were faintly emitting a fierce aura.

Qiao Qing's body trembled twice. Qin Yan… was Qin Yan angry with her? Was she looking down on her because she was embarrassing?

Qiao Qing was afraid that her best friend would abandon her.
