บท 88: The crime of being beautiful

Brightside University.

"You know Anhe has a very love-hate type of a relationship with beauty," Li Beiye said, opening another packet of chips. "She likes to be beautiful of course. But she doesn't like other people being beautiful."

"So she gets jealous?" Huojin asked.

She took a pause. "Is it now? I wonder."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because everybody in her group is pretty. Jinping is a slight deviation. I am not saying he is ugly but certainly not up to Anhe's standards. Daxia has an innocent type of beauty. You know, like the girl next door. Aang and Yibo are handsome and charming. Shilin, of course, is way beyond in looks and personality than the two. It is obvious why she brought him in."

"And Yong?"

"She is not a part of their group."

"But she went with Anhe and the gang to the amusement park."

"I admit it is quite puzzling to me, especially after the row Yong had with the principal a few months back."
