BXBX NOVEL Chapter 104 First Ever Sisterly War
"Wait, wait! Why are you causing a commotion in other people\'s classrooms?" Feng Nian came out of the crowd while frowning in dissatisfaction. "I saw everything! Caiyi didn\'t even touch you. You just fell on your own!"
The sudden intervention shocked Li Chunhua. "Feng Nian, I know you have never liked me that much, but how can you tell such a lie? I understand Xiaoyi is your friend, but it doesn\'t mean you can accuse me like this just to defend her."
Feng Nian sneered as she stood beside Li Caiyi. "You talk a lot, but not everyone here is blind and couldn\'t see through your act. I bet you just want to sow discord again by putting on a pitiful act. Shameless white lotus!"
"Nian Nian, stop it!" Zhou Ya reprimanded Feng Nian in a hushed voice behind her, clearly looking worried about something.
"How mean. I didn\'t even do anything. Nobody helped me when I fell, and now I have to listen to this. It\'s just too much." Li Chunhua\'s tears kept streaming down her cheeks like her face was made of water. Li Caiyi stared with awe and wondered if her tears could flow automatically with a single button push like a dispenser because that was one kind of talent to have.
Li Chunhua then looked up at Li Caiyi with a pleading gaze. "Xiaoyi, even you aren\'t going to help me now? You choose your friends over me. You didn\'t even say anything to defend me."
Murmuring noises erupted from the surrounding crowd, creating an uncomfortable feeling in Li Caiyi\'s stomach.
"Hey, what\'s this about? A sibling fight?"
"I saw Li Chunhua fall as soon as Li Caiyi outstretched her hand. I didn\'t expect a quiet girl like that to do such a thing."
"OMG, this is hot news. I have to record it!"
"Hey, stop it. Did you forget Senior Meng can find you even if you upload it using an anonymous account?"
"Didn\'t Senior Meng adored both of them? So it shouldn\'t be a problem if it was an internal dispute, right?"
"How should I know that?! Better not get involved in this just to be safe."
"Thinking about it again, Feng Nian is pretty brave for shouting at Li Chunhua like that."
"She has been converted into Li Caiyi\'s followers. What do you expect?"
The atmosphere quickly turned against them instantly. Did they believe Li Chunhua more because she was crying? If yes, then this charade was utterly frustrating.
Li Caiyi could not understand why she had to bicker with a teenager when she was already an adult. She felt it was seriously too much of a trouble and wanted to avoid it if she could.
"Xiaohua, just stop it already. You aren\'t getting anything by doing this." She said while massaging her throbbing temple. Then, she outstretched her hand to help her sister stand up. "I don\'t know why you think I\'m pushing you, but stand up first. Here, let me help you up."
"Caiyi, why are you helping her? She is trying to smear your reputation!" Feng Nian exclaimed incredulously. She looked like she could spit fire from her mouth anytime.
"What do you want me to do, then? Step on her? Curse at her? Doing that is equal to playing along with her scheme, don\'t you think?" Li Caiyi replied casually, causing Feng Nian to clamp down her opened mouth again.
"Caiyi\'s right. You making a scene here won\'t help anyone at all." Zhou Ya added. "Control your emotions."
Chen Ruolan, who had been watching from the sideline since earlier, looked at Li Caiyi and Li Chunhua alternately with conflicted emotion. She looked like she wanted to help but was afraid Feng Nian would be mad at her again.
Since Li Chunhua didn\'t grab her hand, Li Caiyi asked with raised brows. "Why aren\'t you getting up? Do you like sitting on the floor that much?"
"I can get up by myself. I\'m afraid you are going to push me again," Li Chunhua said with a seemingly low voice, but actually loud enough for everyone to hear.
Li Caiyi was convinced now that normal means couldn\'t stop Li Chunhua. She was worried her sister would cause further trouble for her friends, so she tolerated her behavior until now, but Li Chunhua did not show any sign of repentance at all.
If she would still cause trouble either way, then Li Caiyi might as well use a harder method for her.
"I\'m no longer that weak and helpless girl you used to know. This method might work with me in the past, but it won\'t work anymore."
"Are you going to accuse me, too? How mean…"
"If that\'s what you think, then so be it. I don\'t care about the opinion of people who don\'t matter to me anymore. If you are not going to stop, then I won\'t bother with you, too."
Li Chunhua\'s eyes visibly shook when she heard that. "Xiaoyi, why are you being so aggressive? I get it. I will forgive you, so let\'s just stop here, okay?"
"You are the one who started it first. I said it before, don\'t test my patience. I won\'t go along with your whims anymore. Just take my lunch and go back to your classroom. You are disturbing everyone." Li Caiyi said coldly.
It was not like she hated Li Chunhua. In fact, she did not think she could ever hate her. Perhaps it was because they were twins that made Li Caiyi reluctant to completely cut her sister off from her life.
Even if that was the case, she couldn\'t let Li Chunhua act like this forever. It wouldn\'t be good for those around her and Li Chunhua herself in the long run.
"If you want to label me as mean, then go ahead, but you don\'t have to talk to me anymore after this. I don\'t care what people say about me."
Li Chunhua dug her nails into her palm. She did not expect this outcome. It shouldn\'t be like this!
According to her plan, Li Caiyi was supposed to be cowering in fear by now because she was always a people pleaser and didn\'t want people to think badly of her. It was easier to follow along than resist, so Li Caiyi would always tolerate her whims before.
After she gave her a good scare, Li Chunhua would settle the situation for her, and Li Caiyi\'s dependence on her would increase. It would be a plus if her annoying friends stood up for her, so Li Chunhua could make them look bad simultaneously. Only then Li Caiyi would realize who was the one in control here.
But why did it turn out like this instead? If this continued, Li Caiyi would only drift further from her. Her plan was backfiring!
Li Chunhua calmed herself down. She did not believe that Li Caiyi could change that much, so her brain immediately came up with an idea. Her soft-hearted sister would surely return to her after her classmate isolated her.
"Xiaoyi, you are also grouping up with your friend to bully me? I just want to eat lunch with you, so why did you kick me out? I can\'t believe you. You are such a bully!"
Li Chunhua ran out of the classroom dramatically, causing people to look at her with pity. However, no one dared to say anything to Li Caiyi because they feared the repercussions of harming the twins under Meng Renshu\'s watch.
However, it did not stop them from whispering among themselves. They had second thoughts about Li Caiyi and considered her as a scary and mean person now.
Li Caiyi didn\'t care much about them, but he was concerned about what her three friends thought about it, so she sneaked a glance carefully at them.
"Phew, she finally left. Good riddance!" said Feng Nian in satisfaction. Meanwhile, Zhou Ya heaved a sigh of relief.
"I thought I would see bloodbath today. Thank goodness."
Chen Ruolan scratched her cheek unsurely. "Caiyi, are you sure you want to let your sister leave like that?"
Feng Nian clicked her tongue, and Chen Ruolan immediately shut her mouth.
"Who cares about her? Caiyi, no offense, but your sister is too cunning. What you did back there is good, letting her know her place. Just don\'t pity her again, or she won\'t ever learn!"
It did not seem like her friends were disappointed in her. Li Caiyi smiled when she realized that. "Yeah. As the older sister, I can\'t let her continue acting like this. I have to teach her the correct way to treasure someone."
Zhou Ya felt that Li Caiyi was implying something with her words, so she curiously asked, "What exactly happened between the two of you?"
Li Caiyi chuckled. "Nothing. We just have our very first sisterly war right now."
