Chapter 291: Do You Have Any Empathy?

Jiang Yun Duo poured out the foot-washing water and climbed onto the top bunk; she and An Yinan slept head-to-head.

Zhang Jia was on the bottom bunk below An Yinan, and Liu Erya was on the bottom bunk below Jiang Yun Duo.

The four of them occupied one wall, while on the other wall, by the window, were the beds where Liu Mingxia was on the top bunk and Zhao Chunzhi was on the bottom.

Beside their beds was a small wooden cabinet divided into six compartments, one for each person, where they could store some clothes and items.

The four people on this side all lay down on their beds, and no one turned off the lights, fearing those two would stir up trouble.

Early the next morning, An Yinan saw that woman, who looked young and was holding a child in her arms, breastfeeding the child in the washroom.

"I'll leave right away." The woman hadn't expected anyone to be washing up so early; after seeing An Yinan, she pulled her clothes down and whispered.

An Yinan smiled, "It's fine, just pretend you didn't see me, I'll leave once I'm done washing up."

Only then did the woman heave a sigh of relief; she patted the child in her arms and whispered her thanks to An Yinan, "Thank you."

An Yinan didn't speak; after brushing her teeth and washing her face, she left the washroom directly.

She first found a deserted spot and practiced the Eight Brocades twice before returning to the dormitory.

"You are shameless, actually exposing your chest and back in public," a sharp voice shouted.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," a voice apologized in a low tone.

"What's the use of being sorry? You're a disgrace to your family, you have no shame! How did your parents raise you? You're shameless, a natural-born slut!"

Hearing the familiar voice, An Yinan frowned and strode forward.

This morning, having heard such a rare spectacle, everyone had gathered around; some were holding washbasins, while others were just standing outside watching.

Just as An Yinan was about to walk forward, she was pulled back by Jiang Yun Duo.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Jiang Yun Duo's little face was miserable, "It's Liu Mingxia again; she saw the woman next door breastfeeding this morning and started shrieking!"

An Yinan had already guessed it when she heard the familiar voice, but she hadn't expected...

"I'm sorry, I'll leave right now," the voice said timidly.

Liu Mingxia, however, grabbed the person, "What? You want to leave now? You dared to take off your clothes in front of everyone, and now you want to leave? Too late!"

The woman explained in a low voice, "I didn't take off my clothes."

Liu Mingxia roared, "How did you not take off your clothes? I clearly saw it, you shameless slut, and you're full of lies."

The child in the woman's arms was crying; the woman patted the child anxiously, unable to leave, and tears streamed down her face in her distress.

Zhao Qiu Hua and the other two saw An Yinan and walked to her side one after another.

An Yinan used force in her hands, pushed aside the crowd on both sides, and walked to the center of the crowd.

She didn't waste words and directly gripped Liu Mingxia's hand.

"An Yinan, what are you doing!" Liu Mingxia felt the pain and quickly let go of the hand that was grabbing the woman's clothes.

An Yinan gave a cold "Heh," "What am I doing? I'm also a bit surprised to see a dog so early in the morning."

Liu Mingxia's almond eyes widened, "Let go."

An Yinan smiled, "Qiu Hua, I have a bedsheet in my cabinet."

She then looked at the woman holding the child, "Go to our dormitory to breastfeed; my friends will shield you."

The woman looked at Liu Mingxia, then at An Yinan; she wanted to stay, but the child's crying grew louder. The child was still small and got hungry quickly, and her milk supply was insufficient.

"It's okay, come with me." Li Xiue walked to the woman's side, put her arm around her, and walked toward An Yinan's dormitory.

After hearing An Yinan's words, Jiang Yun Duo led Li Xiue and Xie Yuanyuan back to the dormitory and pointed to a cabinet, saying, "This is An Yinan's cabinet."

Xie Yuanyuan grabbed Jiang Yun Duo's hand, "Thank you."

Jiang Yun Duo's little face turned red, and she shook her head quickly, "No need, no need, I didn't do anything."

The child was crying loudly now; the few of them found a corner, and Li Xiue quickly picked up the bedsheet. The two of them each took a corner and pulled the sheet up.

Li Xiue said gently, "You can breastfeed here; it's fine, we're holding the sheet, we won't look at you."

The woman looked grateful, but the child was crying too hard; she didn't have time to speak and hurriedly began to breastfeed the child.

Meanwhile, in the hallway, Liu Mingxia was like a mad dog, "Oh, so you're all in on it together, do you also like taking off your clothes in public?"

An Yinan smiled and slapped her directly across the face.

She had already given her enough face before.

She didn't have time to correct Liu Mingxia's values.

But that didn't mean her values could affect others!

"Ah!" Liu Mingxia's head tilted to the side instantly; she covered her face and looked at An Yinan in disbelief, "You dare hit me!"

An Yinan smiled, "Those who insult others shall be insulted in return!"

"Every child's growth is due to having a great mother."

"She is raising her own child; did she provoke you?"

"While you insult her, you are also insulting all mothers."

"Liu Mingxia, what are you acting so superior about?"

Every word was spoken while she never let go of Liu Mingxia's wrist; a slap mark was clearly visible on Liu Mingxia's face.

At this moment, Zhao Chunzhi walked up, "We're all in the same dormitory, An Yinan, your temper is too big."

"Mingxia didn't mean it, she was just scared; how could you hit her?"

"Between classmates, you resort to violence so easily; will you kill someone in the future?"

As she spoke, she reached out to pry An Yinan's hand away.

Zhao Qiu Hua walked up at this moment and stood directly in front of An Yinan, "Classmate, want to start a fight? Come find me!"

Zhao Chunzhi quickly filled with tears, "How can you all bully people like this!"

An Yinan couldn't help but laugh; she had seen funny people, but she had never seen anyone this funny.

"Are we bullying people?" An Yinan asked with a grin.

"We might be bullying people, but we didn't abandon our husband and children!"

"That child isn't very old, is he? Is he even three?"

"When you watched Liu Mingxia talk about others, did you feel a moment of empathy?" An Yinan looked straight at Zhao Chunzhi.

If she didn't provoke her, she could pretend not to see it; after all, it was someone else's family business.

But she just had to come in front of her and act like a white lotus flower.

Then she wouldn't indulge her.

Zhao Chunzhi's face turned pale instantly, her lips trembled for a moment, but she couldn't open her mouth.

An Yinan whispered softly in her ear, in a voice only she could hear, "Maybe I really have killed someone?"

That cold voice, that icy breath—Zhao Chunzhi felt the hairs on her body stand up.

How could she know?

Had she really killed someone?

Would she kill her?

Question after question swirled in Zhao Chunzhi's mind.

The commotion in the dormitory building soon caught the attention of the Leader, and then a group of people and the dormitory matron walked over.

An Yinan quietly let go of her hand, her face returning to calmness.

"What is going on!"

"Everyone disperse, are you not going to class?" the female Tutor shouted.

Everyone who was supposed to leave did so.

Only then did the female Tutor look at the four people present, "What is going on? Making such a racket early in the morning, what does this look like?"

At this moment, Liu Mingxia's tears fell in pairs, "She hit me!"
