Hearing the familiar voice, Dai Qingqing’s faint smile that had been lingering froze immediately.
She was bending to wear her skates but when the person spoke, her hands that were handling the ice skates halted and the smile on her face stiffened.
“Haha, looks like our baseborn young lady skates in the ice-skating rink too huh! Tsk tsk, look, she actually brought a friend along today!”
As the mocking male voice spewed more taunts, Dai Qingqing looked more appalled that she did not even dare lift her head up to look at the guy.
This was not Dai Qingqing’s first time ice-skating. Quite the opposite, she was exceptionally skilled at skating. The school she went to was an exclusive private school that was one of the best in Hang City. There was an amateur ice skating club in the school, set up by those who enjoyed the activity as a hobby.
Although she had no friends in school, she was close to the head of the amateur ice skating club. It was just that the latter was a guy and was in a different class from Dai Qingqing. He was also friendly to her solely because Dai Qingqing was outstanding in her ice skating.
The person who taunted Dai Qingqing just now was quickly disinterested when the girl ignored her. After all, he just wanted to bluster in front of his friends but he had to give it up since Dai Qingqing was ignoring him.
When he espied another girl sitting beside Dai Qingqing, however, he was tempted to pull another stunt. Since Dai Qingqing was ignoring him, he would mess with her friend.
Yun Jian was currently bending down to change her skates seated on the rink bench. It was only a matter of course that she heard the guy’s verbal insult to Dai Qingqing, but she disregarded it as Dai Qingqing was turning a blind eye.
“You’re Dai Qingqing’s friend? Look up, let me see you!” the guy told Yun Jian with a commanding tone, having shifted target to her now.
Dai Qingqing was usually alone in school because she had no friends. Due to her birth as a baseborn daughter, in addition to Cai Wenhui threatening her friends with her status, it resulted in Dai Qingqing having no friend to stick by her.
The club president of the ice skating club was the only one who was unafraid of Cai Wenhui’s pressure and remained friends with Dai Qingqing. Yet, since they were not in the same class and they were both opposite sexes, people would point accusing fingers at them if they frequently spent time together.
Hence, Dai Qingqing was always alone in school.
When the guy saw a girl next to her now, he did not give it any thought in running over to mock them. He was also a member of the ice skating club but he was a weaker skater compared to Dai Qingqing.
Perhaps it could be painted clearer. No matter how the guy practiced, he would never surpass Dai Qingqing, thus he was filled with jealousy and had regularly been one to gather a group and seek fault with the girl.
Yun Jian did not listen to a single word from the guy as she remained hunched to slowly take off her white canvas shoes and put on the skates. Not only did she not hasten her action, but she was also going slower.
“You! You two!” When Dai Qingqing and Yun Jian remained blind to him, the guy shook in anger. Just as he was about to lash out at them, he was dumbstruck by the scene in front of him.
Yun Jian’s melodious voice rang but it was not directed to the guy. She was turning her head to tell Dai Qingqing, “Let’s go.”
As she spoke, she stood up wearing the ice skates.
If a beginner wore the ice skates, they more often than not would trip and fall. However, when Yun Jian stood up wearing said skates, it was like she was wearing flats as they did not affect her the slightest.
In spite of it, the guy was stupefied not because Yun Jian did not fall while wearing the ice skates but because… the girl was so pretty!
