Luo Xiaoqian's face was already clouded over, her gaze deeply fixed on Xu Pei's eyes, and in a heavy voice, she began, "Xu Pei, for the last time, let go."
"What if I don't? What are you going to do, hit me?" Xu Pei challenged, chin up and tone provocative.
Luo Xiaoqian could no longer contain herself.
Raising her wrist, she lifted her hand.
Slap!
A slap, resounding like thunder, struck Xu Pei's left cheek.
Xu Pei glanced at the people walking down the corridor, raised her hand to her face, and burst into tears.
"Luo Xiaoqian, you've gone too far. You actually hit me. My parents have never laid a finger on me my whole life, and who are you... who gave you the right to hit me..."
"Sister Xu Pei!" Huangfu Ruo hadn't expected Luo Xiaoqian to actually follow through with a slap, and seeing her cry like that, she hurried to console her.
