Back in the dormitory, Chi Yu and Fang Jing grabbed their washbasins and headed to the communal bathroom for a shower.
After witnessing the earlier scene, Fang Jing's admiration for Chi Yu skyrocketed a hundredfold.
"You're incredible. Faced with that many people condemning you, you didn't even blink. Your composure is truly unmatched."
Why was she so composed?
Chi Yu's calmness stemmed from two reasons. First, she knew that even if things escalated beyond her control, Qi Chao would be there to clean up the mess for her. Of course, relying on her mother to handle the aftermath was an option of last resort.
Second, amidst the chaos, why wasn't she afraid?
Because Yan Ling was there.
Their friendship assured her that Yan Ling wouldn't stand by and let her get hurt. With him around, there was no risk of harm coming her way. With no need to worry, why would Chi Yu feel tense?
