In order to deal with her parents, she specially chose designs that looked simple and were over 2,000 yuan. As they were very simple, it'd be believable even if she were to say that they cost around 1,000 yuan. Her parents only gave her 500 yuan. She could say that she had topped up the remaining 500 yuan with the red packet money she had saved up previously.

The two of them left the new clothes at the rental apartment, except the bras. By the time Bai Qingqing took the bus back, it was already dark.

…

The night sky was shrouded by a foggy layer of dust. Although the weather was clear, not many stars could be seen. Without any lights, the world looked especially dark.

In a secular and abandoned building outside the school boundaries, blurry light rays were emitted and a girl's screams and cries rang out from inside.

Inside the abandoned building were four to five gangster-like hooligans, one of whom was a middle school student wearing high-quality clothes. The source of the crying came from the mouth of a young girl who was completely naked.

The young girl had a few bruises on her body and her hair was messy like that of a beggar's. She lay on her stomach, covering up her private parts, crying and shivering.

When she turned her head, it was clearly Wang Cuiniu's face with exquisite features.

Zhang Xin looked at the young girl's naked body with a gaze as if he was looking at trash. He walked toward her, looking down at her with an air of superiority, and said, "Do you know that I've been tolerating you for very long! It's fine when you usually make things a little bit difficult for Doggie, but to think that you complained to the form teacher this time around. Do you know how scared she was (she wasn't really)?"

Wang Cuiniu's body shook intensely again and she raised her tears-stricken face, sobbing as she said, "It wasn't me. You're mistaken."

Zhang Xin smirked, "I only know that you targeted Doggie. Regardless if it's you, it wouldn't be maligning you to be teaching you a lesson."

As he said this, he straightened his back and beckoned to the other young men.

The young men immediately crowded over, and Wang Cuiniu instantly became even more anxious, feeling so scared that she sat up, shielding her chest with both arms as she screamed, "What do you guys want? Get away from me!"

Zhang Xin backed out and said, "We'll just be taking a few photos. If Doggie is targeted in the future, I'll blame it on you regardless if you're the one who did it. If you don't wish for the photographs to be seen by everyone in school…" He let out another smirk. "I'd advise you to be careful of other people and protect Doggie well."

Wang Cuiniu was so angry that her expression had become distorted. However, she didn't have the time to be angry as her body was spread open very quickly, forced by the strong young men to take on various embarrassing poses. Then, "Kacha Kacha" camera sounds kept on clicking incessantly.

Zhang Xin walked out of the abandoned building. At the thought of Bai Qingqing, he uncontrollably smiled, emitting a sunshine vibe that belonged to youngsters and no longer had the dark and gloomy atmosphere from before.

This was a viciousness that had been engraved into his bones from a young age. The revenge earlier wasn't enough to leave any new traces of emotion on Zhang Xin.

…

Bai Qingqing and Curtis split up under the building. She walked to her house's door by herself and pressed the doorbell.

The door was quickly opened. At the same time, a middle-aged woman's nagging voice rang out, "Why did you come back so late? It's already dark outside."

Bai Qingqing carried her new school bag and entered the room, giving her mommy a tight hug before grinning and said, "I went to buy a phone. Look!"

Bai Qingqing took out her newly bought phone and waved it in front of her mommy.

Mommy Bai let out an "eh". "How much was it? This doesn't just cost 500 yuan, right?"

"Of course. I had put in all my red packet money as well." Bai Qingqing used the excuse she had thought up and said as if it was true.

Mommy Bai didn't have a hint of doubt. She took the phone and looked at it for a while before returning it to her daughter. "Hurry up and go get dinner. We've all eaten. The food is still warm. Just eat them as is."
