Chapter 233: Chapter 233 Proposal
Outside the girls’ dormitory of Wanghai Noble School, it was bustling with excitement.
The girls’ dormitory building was an eight-story structure, with each floor having dozens of bright, floor-to-ceiling balconies.
At this moment, the balconies were crowded with girls, some with long hair draping over their shoulders, others standing tall and graceful, and some with slender waists and long legs. All the girls wore the same expression, one of frenzy, as they craned their necks to look down below the dormitory.
And beneath the dormitory, a large crowd had gathered, surrounding the doorway, standing on their toes to look in the direction of the dormitory entrance.
Through the throng, one could see a sea of red spread out beneath the dormitory, almost covering the entire ground.
Upon closer inspection, the ground was completely covered with bright red roses.
This sea of roses amounted to tens of thousands, looking to be quite expensive. Intermixed with these red roses were thousands of the even more costly blue enchantresses, making this rose-filled ground worth over a hundred thousand yuan.
Women naturally love roses, and seeing so many of them here, all the girls widened their eyes, sincerely hoping these roses were meant for them.
At that moment, behind the roses, stood a person.
This person had a thin face, a pointed chin, with a somber look, dressed in an expensive designer outfit.
Yet, his hands were wrapped in bandages, suggesting he seemed injured.
Upon seeing this man, all the girls recognized him—it was the long-absent Xiahou Que.
Behind Xiahou Que stood five other men.
Upon seeing these five men, everyone realized they were Mr. Hua and the Four Great Vajra, who had also been absent from classes for some time.
People remembered that Mr. Hua had injured Xiahou Que, and then all six had disappeared from the school.
Now, seeing all six appear simultaneously, with Mr. Hua and his group standing behind Xiahou Que acting like little minions, everyone was a bit confused.
What people didn’t know was that last night when Xiahou Que left, he encountered Mr. Hua and his group. Because they had lost their senses due to the Snake Soul, it was easy for Xiahou Que to control them.
However, this thought just flashed through everyone’s mind before being hooked by the banner behind Xiahou Que.
The Four Great Vajra were holding a banner with large characters: Beiming Xue, Marry Me!
Only then did everyone realize that Xiahou Que was proposing to Beiming Xue.
Some people in the school had heard rumors about an arranged marriage between Xiahou Que and Beiming Xue, but it had never been confirmed.
Now seeing Xiahou Que publicly propose to Beiming Xue, everyone got excited. Soon, the news spread throughout the school, and people flocked to the girls’ dormitory building.
The crowd under the dormitory grew larger, with everyone looking at Xiahou Que.
Except for a few boys who knew Beiming Xue liked Wang Yan, everyone else thought that under Xiahou Que’s strong assault, Beiming Xue would definitely agree.
Although Xiahou Que wasn’t particularly handsome, he had money.
Would you rather cry in a BMW or laugh on a bicycle?
Having money makes being less attractive no big deal.
Some onlookers immediately egged on the situation, loudly shouting toward the girls’ dormitory: “Beiming Xue, come down.”
“Beiming Xue, come down.”
…
Xiahou Que stood there, with a genuinely kind smile on his face, but inside he was sinister: Wang Yan, I’m going to make your life miserable. Now, in front of all these classmates, you can’t possibly fight me. Hmph, you think you, a bumpkin, can beat me? Today, I’m going to regain all the lost face from yesterday. As long as I win over Beiming Xue, I’ll be halfway to completing Lord Black Dragon’s task of unifying the Four Great Clans.
The noisy cries from below echoed into the girls’ dormitory.
Beiming Xue sat on her bed, full of anger.
Ouyang Feiting stood by her side, wanting to comfort her but not knowing where to begin, pacing anxiously around the dormitory.
Beiming Xue angrily said, “Xiahou Que is so shameless. Yesterday, Brother Wang Yan just defeated him, yet he has the nerve to come back.”
Ouyang Feiting also fumed, “Didn’t he promise to annul the engagement with you? Why is he here again? No, I’m going to go and scold him away.”
With that, Ouyang Feiting turned and rushed out of the dormitory toward downstairs.
Beiming Xue wanted to follow but thought better of it, sitting back down to watch the commotion below.
Ouyang Feiting rushed out of the dormitory building, straight up to Xiahou Que, and shouted, “Xiahou Que, you’re shameless. Didn’t you annul the engagement with Xue’er? How dare you show your face here?”
Ouyang Feiting’s voice was loud, and everyone around heard her words, seeing Ouyang Feiting’s furious expression, and immediately gasped in surprise.
“So the engagement between Xiahou Que and Beiming Xue was real.”
“But why was it annulled?”
“It’s a bit strange, let’s keep watching.”
…
The crowd murmured for a while, then quieted down to watch Xiahou Que and Ouyang Feiting.
Xiahou Que glanced at Ouyang Feiting, smiled slightly, and said, “Feiting, even though the engagement was annulled, I’m still deeply in love with Xue’er. The annulment doesn’t stop me from pursuing her again. I came today to pursue her once more.”
Hearing Xiahou Que’s words, everyone around sighed in admiration.
“This is true love, indeed.”
“Xiahou Que is truly devoted to Beiming Xue.”
…
But Ouyang Feiting knew that what Xiahou Que wanted was not what his words suggested. Xiahou Que didn’t love Beiming Xue herself, but rather her family’s money.
Ouyang Feiting was so angry she couldn’t speak, repeatedly cursing, “Shameless, you’re truly shameless.”
Xiahou Que sighed helplessly and said, “Feiting, I know you’re angry. Actually, it’s because you love me. But I have to tell you, there’s no chance between us. I like Beiming Xue.”
Upon hearing Xiahou Que’s words, everyone gasped in surprise.
“So all along, Ouyang Feiting liked Xiahou Que!”
“No wonder Beiming Xue didn’t come down, while Ouyang Feiting rushed down, she must be jealous.”
…
For a while, the surroundings filled with chatter.
Ouyang Feiting immediately got furious, “Nonsense, Xiahou Que you’re talking nonsense.”
But the angrier Ouyang Feiting got, the more everyone believed it was true.
Xiahou Que sneered inside: You, Ouyang Feiting, are too inexperienced, but just wait, you all, including Wang Yan, won’t meet a good end. I’ll deal with you one by one.
While Ouyang Feiting was hopping mad, unable to clear her name, suddenly everyone quieted down and turned to look toward the dormitory door.
Ouyang Feiting turned her head and saw Beiming Xue standing at the dormitory entrance, her face icy cold.
