Qin Wenrou was truly aggrieved!
Tears welled up in her eyes as she softly said, "Can’t I just roast for a little while?"
The folks from Class 1 sneered: "You didn’t work earlier, and now you want to enjoy it. Do you think that’s fair?"
Qin Wenrou bit her lip, glancing around, hoping to find soone who would stand up for her.
But sohow, there seed to be no one left under her command. Even Yu Xiaochun from Class 2 kept her distance, busy adding logs to their bonfire to earn a chance to warm up.
Although Xu Qinghua was beside her, his proud and conceited personality ant he wouldn’t help her either. Besides, he too was ostracized by the Class 1 crowd for not helping to collect wood.
With no one speaking up for her, Qin Wenrou had no choice but to defend herself: "My hands are for playing the piano. If I injure them collecting wood, it’ll be troubleso in the future..."
The crowd got even angrier: "What, are your hands the only precious ones? Are you a princess and we’re the servants? Are we dood to do the hard labor? Who are you trying to disgust with this?"
Qin Wenrou was at a loss for words, unable to even maintain her aggrieved expression.
Xu Qinghua, standing beside her, sneered: "Why beg those fools? Sitting by the fire here is just waiting to die. Only those fools would trust the ugly one’s judgnt."
Seeing Xu Qinghua’s confident deanor, Qin Wenrou quickly asked, "Qinghua, have you found another way?"
Xu Qinghua nodded confidently: "I’ve already observed the surroundings. Climbing out through the ruins of the school gate is the best route."
Qin Wenrou looked towards the night, at the collapsed school gate and the two fallen buildings beside it.
The debris and ruins resembled a small mountain.
Getting through would indeed be tough, but if they managed to climb over... it didn’t seem entirely impossible.
It would certainly beat freezing to death here.
"Alright, if you go, I’ll go with you. I trust your judgnt more!" Qin Wenrou decided, showering Xu Qinghua with so flattery.
Xu Qinghua took the lead and strode towards the school gate.
Gou Dachun called out from behind: "Hey, hey, don’t be foolish, the place Lan Qingxin ntioned will continue to collapse. Why take such risks? It’s still not too late to go gather so pine branches from the grove. If you show so effort, everyone will still let you warm by the fire..."
Though they disliked Qin Wenrou and Xu Qinghua.
Gou Dachun’s words did make sense.
Making ands now would at least show sincerity.
Yet, Xu Qinghua sneered: "Who cares for your charity? This little bonfire will burn out in half an hour, and then what? Freeze alongside you? If you don’t want to live, don’t stop from finding a way out."
Qin Wenrou pursed her lips and said, "I trust Qinghua’s judgnt."
As she spoke, she gave Qin Xin a pointed look: "After all, so people’s intelligence is quite unstable. She scored 100, then 59, and even zero. Who knows if she’s predicting with her zero-grade intelligence this ti?"
The people from Class 1 glared at her: "If you want to leave, then just leave. Stop talking in circles. Do you believe we won’t tear your mouth apart?"
Qin Wenrou flinched and quickly followed Xu Qinghua.
Among the crowd, there were other students from different classes, who began to ponder.
Since they weren’t familiar with Qin Xin, Xu Qinghua and Qin Wenrou’s words made them worried too.
What if Qin Xin made the wrong judgnt?
What if they stayed and there was another earthquake?
Maybe escaping was the best option...
Soon, a small group of people also headed towards the ruins of the school gate.
Yet, the people from Class 1, much like those from Class 2, remained unwavering, with not a single person following Qin Wenrou and Xu Qinghua.
