Ye Chu one-sidedly started a cold war. She ignored both Ye Tingyun and Xiao Ju. Xiao Ju was an American girl. Because she liked Chinese, she gave herself a Chinese name, Xiao Ju, and forced everyone who knew Chinese to call her that.
She was a girl with blonde hair, blue eyes, long legs, and a freckled face. She was very concerned about her freckles every day and liked Ye Chu's pale and flawless skin. She even tried to convince Ye Chu to suntan at the beach as she thought that a bronze-colored skin was beautiful. Within that afternoon, Ye Chu got sunburnt. Her neck, chest, and shoulders were all covered with red patches.
Ye Tingyun said, "Your monthly bonus is gone."
Xiao Ju felt like she was struck by lightning.
Ye Tingyun applied medicine for Ye Chu personally. The usually-talkative girl did not say anything. Xiao Ju told Ye Tingyun secretly that Ye Chu was unhappy recently. Ye Chu went out with Xiao Ju every day to suntan.
