She Can’t Tolerate Sand In Her Eyes

Almost in the next second, Murong Qiao pushed the door open and came out.
She habitually went to wash her hands, but when she walked over, she realized that there was a tap running.
Murong Qiao closed the tap and didn’t waste the water. She didn’t have the habit of leaving water running. After washing and drying her hands, she carried her bag and went out.
Jiang Weiyang’s friend was still standing at the door of the washroom.
She was originally playing with her phone. When she saw the person who came out, she subconsciously wanted to greet her. In the end, when she looked up and saw that it was Murong Qiao, her words were stuck in her mouth.
Murong Qiao felt someone looking at her. When she looked up, he saw the girl with a slightly open face staring at her.
‘I don’t know her.’
Murong Qiao came to this conclusion from her memories and walked past her.
Hearing the footsteps outside fade away until there was really no sound at all Jiang Weiyang stayed in the cubicle for a long time before finally walking out.’ As soon as she came out, she welcomed her friend and patted her shoulder. “Let’s go and watch the show.”
Jiang Weiyang’s tone was firm and even mixed with a hint of excitement, as if she could already foresee the scene that made her happy.
The make-up powder she had exchanged for Murong Qiao was spiked.
There was something added in. As long as she touched the powder and applied it on her skin slightly, her face would be filled with dense bumps.
The reason why she brought this with her was because Jiang Weiyang occasionally disliked people and wanted to teach them a lesson.
After all, no girl didn’t care about her face.
And today, Murong Qiao had this “honor”.
The banquet was already in the middle stage.
Even so, the social atmosphere and smiles of everyone present didn’t decrease at all. It even seemed to be getting more and more intense.
Among them, a figure shuttled through the crowd and walked in a certain direction with an extremely strong goal.
Yan Xiu and Shen Xi, who rarely had a quiet corner, were also chatting happily in the small garden.
After realizing that Shen Xi was different from those young ladies who wanted to please him, Yan Xiu couldn’t help but become a little interested in her.
Right on the heels of that, in the subsequent conversation, he discovered Shen Xi’s understanding of him.
Whether it was the creative concept, the inspiration, or even the meaning of the clothes, Shen Xi could tell them a little.
This made him feel like he had found a little confidant.
However, this feeling was subtle. Not long after it was born in his heart, it was trampled by the sound of footsteps rushing over.
“Xiao Xi, so you’re here.” Xin Qingxue walked in.
When Shen Xi saw that it was her, she immediately frowned. “Why are you looking for me?”
She had not forgotten the feeling and actions Xin Qingxue had given her previously. Shen Xi didn’t like this person from the bottom of her heart.
Yan Xiu didn’t say anything. Seeing that Xin Qingxue was clearly here to look for her, he remained considerately silent.
However, he carefully observed Shen Xi’s frown and cold expression. His good impression of Xin Qingxue couldn’t help but decrease.
At the mention of why she was looking for her, Xin Qingxue became hesitant.
She hesitated. “Actually—actually it’s my brother. He committed a crime outside two days ago…”
“Then why are you telling me?” Shen Xi pretended not to understand, but she actually didn’t want to move.
However, Xin Qingxue insisted on making things clear. “I want… I want to ask you to help me.”
“My brother drank too much and injured someone. In the end, he’s squatting inside now. There’ll be a criminal record if he’s committed… Then my brother will be finished in the future.”
“Xiao Xi.” Xin Qingxue took out the trump card she had long thought of. “We grew up together…”
When asking for help, Xin Qingxue directly used the family card.
Not to mention anything else, if she really counted it, she and Shen Xi could indeed be said to have grown up together.
“I can’t help you with such a thing.” However, after Shen Xi heard it, she rejected it completely without thinking.
Xin Qingxue was a little angry. “Xiao Xi, that’s my brother… I can’t just watch him end up like that!”
“But this has nothing to do with me.” When Shen Xi said this, she could be said to be righteous.
She said word byword, “You can completely wait for your Big Brother to come out before teaching him a lesson.”
“But I can’t help you with this kind of favor. Not at all.”
Shen Xi shook her head with a cold expression. She knew very well what she could and couldn’t touch.
Although she had not been in good health since she was young and couldn’t satisfy her father’s wishes, she had gradually grown up with love.
Shen Xi knew her father’s personality. He was upright and couldn’t tolerate anything immoral, including his family’s style. He had always hated such things to happen. She had to follow the guidelines.
Shen Xi seriously took after her father on this point and couldn’t tolerate sand in her eyes.
It’s just a small favor, Xiao Xi.” Xin Qingxue didn’t understand. “As long as you
tell your father, won’t it be very easy?”
This isn’t a matter of whether it’s easy or not.”
Shen Xi corrected her one last time. “In short, you can find someone else to help you with this.”
In any case, she wouldn’t agree.
After being decisively rejected again, Shen Xi was so determined that even Xin Qingxue felt a trace of frustration.
But her Big Brother was still inside…
“Xiao Xi… Are we still good friends?” Xin Qingxue sighed.
Shen Xi said sternly, “If you insist, then we’re not.”
These words rendered Xin Qingxue speechless. She even felt that she didn’t know where to start.
Seeing that Shen Xi was really rejecting her and was not joking, the smile on
Xin Qingxue’s face became forced.
What about her Big Brother?
Xin Qingxue thought of her brother who was still squatting inside and couldn’t
help but bite her lip. She felt that Shen Xi was difficult to deal with.
After that, no matter what reason Xin Qingxue used to persuade Shen Xi, Shen
Xi didn’t respond to this matter at all.
“..Alright, I understand.” In the end, it was Xin Qingxue who finished speaking.
Shen Xi put down the drink in front of her. Under Xin Qingxue’s gaze, she narrowed her eyes and stared at the wine glass in her hand without responding.
However, in Xin Qingxue’s eyes, it made her dislike Shen Xi even more.
She only felt that Shen Xi was completely taking revenge on her now.
Her life was good, her environment was good, and she was even born into a good family. Now, it could be resolved with just a word from her, but when it came to her, he had to look for help here and there.
It couldn’t be denied that the more Xin Qingxue thought about it, the angrier she became.
Why could this girl be so comfortable? As for her, she had to put down her pride and look for help.
Xin Qingxue was silent for a moment before she suddenly smiled. “Forget it.
Since Young Miss Shen is unwilling, I’ll take it that I’ve disturbed you.”
It didn’t matter if she didn’t agree. Then, in the future, she wouldn’t help her either.
Xin Qingxue thought to herself. Then, she secretly reached into her bag and grabbed a few strands of fine hair.
She knew that Xin Qingxue had asthma.
There were many triggers for asthma. As long as she controlled it well…
Xin Qingxue waved the few strands of hair she had taken out casually. Then, without looking, she turned around and left.
Yan Xiu didn’t notice Xin Qingxue’s cheap trick. Instead, he saw her pause for a long time before she left.
Yan Xiu’s intuition told him that the other party was a little strange, but he couldn’t tell what her exact goal was.
However, Shen Xi didn’t realize it, and Xin Qingxue also thought that she had done it perfectly.
Little did she know that Xin Qingxue’s series of cheap tricks were all seen by the girls standing in the corridor in the distance.
“Allergies… can kill people, right?”
