Chapter 218: In a Dilemma

When Xia Xibei rushed over, she heard an excited “Bark,” followed by a golden figure running towards her.

Xia Xibei took a closer look and saw Asura rus.h.i.+ng to her, his tongue sticking out excitedly.

She stroked Asura’s head and looked forward, then frowned.

In addition to Zheng Xiaowen and Song Jiaren, who were not far away, Yu Ziqi was also here.

At this time, Zheng Xiaowen had tears in her eyes and a wronged expression. She was carefully hiding behind Yu Ziqi.

Song Jiaren angrily stood across from them, as if she was about to start a fight at any moment.

It was apparent that Yu Ziqi was also a little fl.u.s.tered by this scene.

However, because of Asura’s actions, the weird atmosphere among the three of them had been broken.

Yu Ziqi looked at his rebellious dog helplessly, not knowing what to say.

“Little Qi...”

Realizing that Yu Ziqi’s attention had been taken away by Asura, Zheng Xiaowen couldn’t resist poking his arm, bringing his focus back to her.

Yu Ziqi came back to his senses, a little embarra.s.sed. He began to speak, “Sister Jiajia, you’ve...”

“What about me?!” Song Jiaren’s anger flared up once again. “Why don’t you ask her what she did?!”

Seeing Zheng Xiaowen’s pathetic look, Song Jiaren could not wait to slap her.

Just now, when Song Jiaren caught up to Zheng Xiaowen, before she could even grab her, Yu Ziqi had showed up.

Seeing Yu Ziqi, Zheng Xiaowen rushed over and hid behind him. At the same time, she started crying.

Song Jiaren was livid upon seeing this.

What did Zheng Xiaowen mean by saying she had bullied her?!

“Jiajia,” Xia Xibei spoke softly, bringing Asura over with a calm expression, “What happened?”

It was only a blink of an eye, so how had it become like this?

Song Jiaren was very upset, explaining the situation just now.

“...I didn’t even make her responsible, and now she’s crying?!”

Zheng Xiaowen s.h.i.+vered, her body trembling slightly as she whispered, “I’m sorry, I-”

“Don’t say ‘I’m sorry’!” Song Jiaren interrupted her in annoyance. “Tell me first, what did you want today? Why did you come here and make a scene?!”

“I- I didn’t do anything!” Zheng Xiaowen defended herself quietly. “Did- Did I do something wrong?”

Seeing her delicate and fearful look, Song Jiaren became even angrier. She hated these types of weak, willowy girls. Zheng Xiaowen just made her more and more upset.

“Sister Jiajia, don’t worry, let’s talk it out,” Yu Ziqi said in a hurry, wanting to make peace.

One was his friend while the other was his deskmate. He was in a dilemma.

“Talk it out?!”

Xia Xibei stopped Song Jiaren, interrupting her tirade. “Don’t worry, let’s talk.”

When faced with Xia Xibei’s clear gaze, Zheng Xiaowen’s eyes flickered. She couldn’t help but look away, not daring to meet her eyes.

Seeing this, Xia Xibei almost smiled. This girl really had something going on.

“There’s too many people here, so let’s find a place to sit down and talk,” Xia Xibei spoke, the others not disagreeing.

Zheng Xiaowen glanced at them with vague emotions, continuing to bow her head silently, looking like a pitiful, bullied girl.

“How about that store we went to before?” Yu Ziqi suggested.

“OK.”

Zheng Xiaowen’s face changed slightly as she listened to the familiar conversation between the two of them.

Although she quickly hid that expression, the change did not escape Xia Xibei’s eyes.

Seeing Asura following Xia Xibei, Zheng Xiaowen had an idea. She smiled and ordered, “Asura, let’s go.”

Unexpectedly, Asura glanced in her direction but ignored her, continuing to wag his tail at Xia Xibei.
