"Besides that, she bullies her classmates because her family is wealthy. It's said she even forced some to drop out of school."
"Really? She doesn't seem like that kind of person!"
"That's not all! Her grades are actually terrible. She probably got into Jing University through her parents' connections!"
"No way! I remember her college entrance exam score was over 700, and she's always been at the top of the class, winning scholarships every year!"
"Who knows what methods she used. You've all been fooled by her. She may seem harmless on the surface, but she's actually quite wicked."
"..."
Feng Qingyi stood nearby, listening to Nan Yue chatting away with them.
"Are you finished?"
Hearing the voice, Nan Yue turned to look at Feng Qingyi, but showed no signs of guilt.
"Why are you here?"
Feng Qingyi: "If I hadn't come, how would I know you're here slandering me?"
"I didn't know that despite our families being so far apart, your mother could still see me hugging and cuddling with thugs on the street."
"And about me forcing people to drop out, do you have any evidence? Without evidence, it's defamation. As for getting into Jing University, try using connections yourself!"
"Did you come here today just to spread rumors?"
Nan Yue stood up, "Huh, if you dare to do it, why are you afraid of people talking about it?"
"Your skill at making things up out of thin air is truly refined. We have class now, please excuse us," Feng Qingyi said.
Nan Yue took her phone and walked out of her seat, "As if I want to stay here anyway."
Shen Hanyue saw Nan Yue leaving the classroom, "Qingyi, will your cousin be okay?"
"She's a grown adult, what could happen to her? Let her be."
...
At Jing University's east sports field, Feng Qingci was playing basketball with some classmates.
Nan Yue walked past the basketball court and spotted Feng Qingci with a turn of her head.
She entered through the court's wire gate and stopped at the sidelines, "Cousin, cousin!"
"Ci bro, is someone calling you?"
Feng Qingci heard the voice and looked to the side.
"Don't know her!"
He greatly disliked this so-called cousin, Nan Yue.
On one hand, it was because she had bullied Feng Qingyi since childhood, always trying to snatch whatever Feng Qingyi wanted, even to the point of claiming new clothes worn during New Year's as her own.
On the other hand, she loved making things up out of thin air, falsely accusing them as if it were second nature.
Her parents always thought their daughter was exceptionally talented, believing everything she said was right, trusting her completely, and even constantly belittling him and Feng Qingyi, as if doing so would highlight Nan Yue's excellence.
Feng Qingci continued playing basketball with his classmates, ignoring Nan Yue who stood at the side.
Seeing this, Nan Yue became very unhappy and walked directly towards Feng Qingci, disregarding the ongoing game.
"Feng Qingci, why aren't you responding when I'm calling you?"
Because Nan Yue suddenly rushed into the middle of the basketball court, everyone stopped to avoid injuring an innocent bystander.
"Ci bro, she's calling you!"
Feng Qingci: "If you have something to say, say it quickly. If not, then get lost."
"Weren't you hospitalized after a car accident? Why are you here playing basketball?" Nan Yue asked.
Feng Qingci: "I was discharged early. Do you have a problem with that?"
"I get it now, you just didn't want me to come, so you made up this lie. I'm going to tell my parents!" Nan Yue said.
Feng Qingci irritably replied, "If you want to tell them, go do it early. Don't stand here babbling nonsense. It's annoying as hell."
Nan Yue grabbed Feng Qingci, "My parents told me to come find you guys. What kind of attitude is this!"
"Since you know we don't welcome you, just hurry back. And don't touch me, I find it unlucky!" Feng Qingci pushed Nan Yue away.
Nan Yue fell on her backside, her face crumpling as if about to cry.
"Ci bro, what's going on? How can you be so inconsiderate towards a girl!"
"Yeah, she's just a young lady, why are you quarreling with her!"
"Look, she's about to cry. You should help her up!"
"..."
Feng Qingci: "Help her up? I just removed her hand from my clothes. She fell down on her own, what does it have to do with me? I have things to do today, so I'm not playing anymore. I'm leaving first."
The male classmates who were playing basketball with Feng Qingci initially wanted to help Nan Yue up, but seeing her green hair and heavy makeup, their desire to help diminished significantly.
"Miss, can you get up?"
Nan Yue glared at them and got up from the ground herself, then followed in the direction Feng Qingci had left.
"What do you think her relationship with Ci bro is?"
"I think I heard her call Ci bro her cousin. Could she really be his cousin?"
"What cousin, it's just an excuse. She's probably a female classmate who admires Ci bro."
"This is the first time I've seen someone with grass-green hair on campus. Does she think she's Balala the Fairies or something?"
"Alright, stop gossiping here. Didn't you see how Ci bro went ballistic when he saw her? Besides, he already has a girlfriend. Don't spread rumors."
"..."
Since there were no more classes, Feng Qingci went directly back to the villa, not noticing someone following behind.
Not long after Feng Qingci entered the living room, he heard a knock on the door.
Seeing it was Nan Yue when he opened the door, he immediately tried to close it, but Nan Yue had already put one foot inside, preventing the door from closing smoothly.
"Cousin, my parents said you guys should take care of me. You live in a luxurious villa, why should I stay in that crappy hotel!"
"If you want to live in a luxurious villa, go buy one yourself!" Feng Qingci tried to push Nan Yue out.
To his surprise, he couldn't budge her even after two attempts.
The two remained in a stalemate at the doorway for a long time. Finally, Nan Yue forcefully pushed the door open and strode in arrogantly.
They were typical rich misers, she thought. She came to visit them out of goodwill, and they made her stay in a shabby hotel.
There seemed to be many valuable things in this house. As her mother had suggested, she might as well take some back later. At least then the trip wouldn't be for nothing.
Now that she had entered this house, she wasn't going to leave.
Feng Qingci saw that Nan Yue didn't even change her shoes and was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed. "Nan Yue, you're not welcome in our home!"
Nan Yue had already put on her headphones and couldn't hear Feng Qingci's words at all.
This was the first time Feng Qingci had encountered such a thorny situation. As a man, he couldn't just pick her up and throw her out. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't lift her weight.
He could only message Feng Qingyi first to explain the situation.
[Feng Qingci: I just saw Nan Yue at the sports field while playing basketball. She followed me back to the villa.]
[Qingyi: ... Why did you bring that nuisance back?]
[Feng Qingci: She followed me!]
[Qingyi: Drive her away. I don't want to be in the same room with her.]
[Feng Qingci: Let's talk when you get back!]
