2 homeless
Getting off the motorcycle, Lu Zheng pulled off his slick black helmet and shook his hair. He entered the alleyway at a slow pace with the others behind him following his movements.
Song Qiu was stunned by his sharp looks. Wearing a silver cross piercing on his right ear and several chains on his ripped jeans, Lu Zheng looked especially rebellious. His sword-like eyebrows only underlined his fierce phoenix eyes and prominent jawline. Clad in all black, his entire being exuded a dangerous air as he keenly observed the scene unfolding before him.
'This really is the male lead! A typical bad student with piercings, motorcycles, and chains,' thought Song Qiu fearfully.
The arrival of Lu Zheng and his group heightened the tension of the atmosphere.
With his hands in his pocket, Lu Zheng raised one eyebrow as he spoke lazily, "What's going on here?"
The surroundings were deathly silent.
He continued carelessly without waiting for a response, "You're bullying her."
Song Qiu shuddered in fright. She felt that if she didn't take the initiative to admit her mistakes now, she might meet her end immediately! Song Qiu took in a deep breath and turned to Lu Zheng.
She spoke timidly, "No, in fact, I-I-"
Lu Zheng's intimidating eyes fell on her as he asked, "You what?"
The invisible pressure hit Song Qiu, making her feel suffocated.
She suddenly turned to Qiao Xing and blurted out, "In fact, I bullied you because I like you!"
The air was strangely quiet for several moments. Everyone was shocked to death at Song Qiu's confession. One member of Lu Zheng's group spoke up first.
"She's definitely lying!"
Song Qiu gulped and her cheeks were dyed a rosy color as she denied, "No! I'm not lying. I like you a lot, Qiao Xing! Please accept me."
Looking shyly at her feet, she prayed that her acting skills were enough to fool the male lead. Song Qiu's words and reddened face shocked everyone even more. Wasn't this appearance actually as if she liked Qiao Xing?
Qiao Xing also blushed and stuttered, "I-I-"
Song Qiu shouted desperately in her heart, 'Reject me! Reject me! Reject me!"
"I like…"
Every second felt like an eternity to Song Qiu.
"...you too!"
Panicking, Song Qiu wanted to die on the spot.
"...as a friend."
Song Qiu was suddenly revived again and cried in her mind, 'Ms. female lead, can't you speak faster?! You took so long to finish your sentence, I thought I might actually have to date you!"
Song Qiu pinched her thigh and tears welled up in her eyes.
"I-I see."
She buried her head in her arm and ran out from the alleyway embarrassed.
Following her departure, Lu Zheng sneered, "Heh, what a load of bullsh*t."
He turned his heels and exited the place in a difficult manner.

Running a good distance from the alleyway, she stopped to catch her breath. She leaned on the wall on the side of a store for support.
'Thank god I was smart enough to get out of that,' thought Song Qiu bitterly. 'Who knows how painfully I'll die if I didn't think of something quickly?'
Reflecting on her confession, Song Qiu realized another problem was presented in front of her. Admitting that she liked Qiao Xing meant that she was now a love rival of the male lead?!
'N-No! It shouldn't be! She rejected me, didn't she? AGH!'
Song Qiu pulled her hair in frustration. Song Qiu was suddenly afraid the male lead might come after her to compete for Qiao Xing. She really didn't mean to fight with the male lead for the female lead ah! She just wants to be a salted fish* in this novel.
'If I go back now, do you think he'll listen to me?' cried Song Qiu.
After venting her stress by kicking the wall a few times, Song Qiu suddenly remembered there was yet another issue in front of her. Where did the original "Song Qiu" even live?
'Don't tell me I'm going to be homeless today!'
Thinking that she might have to sleep on the streets, Song Qiu really wanted to squat and weep.
In short, life was going very poorly for Song Qiu.
