Chapter 172: Buttons

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Li Han glared at Ye Ling. She had wanted to say something, but Xin Yan forcefully tugged at her arm and warned her with a look.

Li Han could only forcefully suppress the resentment building up inside her.

“Alright, alright.” Seeing that the situation was resolved, the dormitory manager yawned and said, “Let’s all go back.”

Ye Ling cast a casual glance at Li Han and walked straight to her room.

After Xin Yan helped Li Han back to the dormitory, she retrieved ointment from the cabinet. After cleaning the edges of Li Han’s wounds with warm water, she applied the ointment to the injuries.

Li Han pounded the bed angrily. “That woman, I won’t let her off the hook!” Xin Yan looked at Li Han in silence. “Weren’t you the one who started it?” “When did I…” Li Han began to deny it.

“Do you think I don’t know you? You might deceive others, but do you think you can deceive me?” Xin Yan sighed helplessly. “Why did you provoke her? She’s not someone to be underestimated.”

Li Han sneered. “Isn’t it just because she has a man backing her up? I don’t believe I won’t find a chance to get back at her.”

Xin Yan frowned. “Don’t stir up trouble. Be careful not to fall even harder next time.”

“Xin Yan!” Li Han protested unhappily. “You have to help me! Can you bear to see me being bullied like this?”

“Who can bully you? If you didn’t provoke her, would all this have happened? It’s time to apply the medicine. Endure it,” Xin Yan said as she applied the ointment to the deepest wound on Li Han’s knee.

Li Han let out a miserable cry, and cold sweat threatened to drip from her forehead as she kept inhaling sharply.

After applying the medicine, Xin Yan fetched new pajamas for Li Han. After changing into fresh clothes, Li Han lay on the bed, expressing both anger and frustration. “How did that woman make me fall? I don’t understand.’ Xin Yan lay on the bed without speaking. After a while, she suddenly got up.

Li Han was surprised. “Xin Yan, where are you going?

“To the toilet.”

Xin Yan took the flashlight, pushed open the dormitory door, and walked into the courtyard.

At this moment, the courtyard was empty, illuminated only by the cold moonlight.

Xin Yan turned on the flashlight and carefully searched the courtyard.

After almost five minutes of searching, she finally found a blue button in a pile

gravel.

Xin Yan picked up the button and frowned as she stared at it.

How did Ye Ling manage to make Li Han fall instantly with just a small button?

Ye Ling returned to her room and took out her clothes, looking at the dirty spots with some annoyance.

The stains should wash off, but Ye Ling was still displeased that her new clothes had been intentionally dirtied.

She filled a basin with warm water, took out soap, and carefully washed the clothes before hanging them by the window to dry.

Despite the events of the previous day, Ye Ling didn’t let it affect her mood for work. After spending some time in the small world, she came out and fell asleep in bed within a few minutes.

When Ye Ling woke up the next day, she grabbed a basin and a cup and headed to the bathroom for her morning routine.

Just as she finished brushing her teeth, she sensed someone standing behind her. Ye Ling turned abruptly and saw Xin Yan.

Wiping the water from the corner of her mouth, Ye Ling looked at Xin Yan with indifference and remained silent.

Facing Ye Ling’s calm expression, Xin Yan suddenly felt a bit nervous. She avoided eye contact and handed a button to Ye Ling from her pocket. “Is this your button?” Xin Yan’s tone carried a meaningful undertone.

“It’s my button. Thank you,” Ye Ling replied calmly.

Without further dialogue, Ye Ling picked up her basin and cup, ready to leave. “Don’t casually throw things away in the future,” Xin Yan suddenly remarked from behind.

Ye Ling frowned and turned to look at Xin Yan. After a few seconds, she spoke coldly, “Who would willingly lose something? Besides, it’s just a button.” Ye Ling took out the blue button and tossed it away.

Xin Yan’s face paled. She hadn’t expected Ye Ling to be so unyielding.

Xin Yan had only intended to remind Ye Ling not to harm people casually, but it seemed Ye Ling didn’t see any issue with her actions.

Returning to the dormitory with the cup and basin, Ye Ling put them down and started combing her hair.

Xin Yan must have guessed what she had done with the button. This person was quite smart..
