Chapter 651: Who’s Done for 2
They laughed and shoved each other jokingly as they walked on.
However, as they were nearing the cafeteria, Li Beinian asked, “Where’s Li Xueqing?”
Guan Yueyun replied, “I don’t know.”
“Maybe she was too sad and hid away to cry,” Wang Shao added.
Zhao You’er thought for a moment and said, “I’ve noticed she’s been playing on her cell phone secretly for the past two days.”
New recruits were not allowed to use their cell phones.
Hence, during this period, they rarely knew what was happening in the outside world.
Although they were holding on to their own cell phones in the dormitory, these were normally stowed away in the cabinet and rarely taken out.
Firstly, it was because of this rule.
Secondly, the reception in this area was rather poor. Even a phone call would easily be disconnected.
If one wanted to play on the cell phone, the only places one could do it were the back of the dormitory block or in the forest.
There was a signal reinforcement device in the forest. This was to prevent people from falling behind in a battle simulation, or so that there was a channel of communication in critical situations.
Zhao You’er’s words did not cause much of a stir.
However, they were like a nail that had been silently buried into Li Beinian’s heart.
While eating, Li Beinian heard the men talking about her.
The topic was about that matter regarding Feng Yiran, Leader Mu and herself.
However, very quickly, the topic changed to something that the men were interested in.
This was the fundamental difference between men gossiping and women gossiping.
Women liked to get to the bottom of things and would talk about it till the cows came home. However, the men would merely say a few words and let the matter pass, the topic would come to an end quickly.
Li Beinian heaved a sigh of relief, but Li Xueqing was still lurking at the back of her mind.
Feng Yiran was in a bad mood.
Really, really bad mood.
He was a person who kept a low profile, but the way had always been paved for him, in every aspect, since he was young. Things had always gone smoothly for him.
Now he had suffered a huge setback, because of both Li Beinian and Mu Xichen.
But at the end of the day, he had been defeated by himself.
Because he had always been so successful, he had naively thought that things would work out smoothly, for sure, in his relationship.
Now that he was being beaten down by this setback, he had trouble coming to terms with it.
The rain gradually lightened. Feng Yiran walked alone into the little forest without an umbrella.
It was here that he saw Mu Xichen and Li Beinian the last time.
Feng Yiran was madly jealous, but he was powerless to fight for it.
Unconsciously, he strode over one waterhole after another and entered the little forest.
Suddenly, he heard a woman talking.
Her voice was familiar. Feng Yiran had been interacting with her for more than a month now and recognized her voice immediately.
Li Xueqing had sneaked out while everyone’s attention was on Li Beinian.
Her thoughts were full of what was going to happen the next day. She was so excited that her whole body was shaking.
She had sneaked back to the dormitory and tried to use her phone.
Sure enough, there was completely no signal!
With the cell phone in her hand, she donned her raincoat and took a route that would have reduced her chances of being seen.
She walked all the way until she got to the back of the dormitory building and entered the little forest. Only then did she receive a weak signal.
However, this signal was pitifully weak.
There was a location, though, that would have a signal—the leader’s office!
If only she would dare to enter.
Obviously, she didn’t.
Relying on the weak signal, Li Xueqing opened WeChat.
Having struggled with multiple attempts, she finally saw Lin Kerou’s message: It’s done.
