I interrupted her, "Was it intentional? You know very well that today you must compensate me with an identical bucket, or I will report you to the police."
Liu Ke was taken aback. She didn't expect me to be so firm this time.
All along, she had borrowed my clothes, shoes, and cosmetics, even taking my bags without asking, and I had let her get away with it without demanding compensation. So, Liu Ke thought I was easy to bully.
But this time, I wouldn't indulge her any longer.
Liu Ke looked at the counselor for help.
The counselor frowned and said, "How about you just pay her the original price for a new one?"
Liu Ke bit her lip, "But I don't have any money."
The counselor replied, "Then it will be deducted from your living expenses."
Liu Ke still felt unwilling, her eyes reddening as she pouted.
The counselor immediately took a step back and turned her head away, ignoring Liu Ke's antics.
I watched this scene coldly, finding it ridiculous. In my previous life, Liu Ke had used such tactics to charm the counselor, making her develop a fondness for Liu Ke. Then, Liu Ke exploited the counselor's favoritism to snatch my opportunity for graduate school recommendations.
But this time, I wouldn't let her have her way.
I said coldly, "Counselor, Liu Ke not only needs to compensate me for the bucket but also owes me an apology; otherwise, I will call the police."
Liu Ke gritted her teeth, "Zhao Wu, don't go too far."
I raised an eyebrow, "How am I going too far? I'm just trying to protect my rights; is there a problem with that?"
Liu Ke wanted to argue back but couldn't find the words. She looked at the counselor for help again.
The counselor glanced between us, hesitating.
I raised an eyebrow and said, "What's wrong? Counselor, don't you believe what I'm saying? If not, how about I show you something?"
As I spoke, I took out my phone and opened the video. After taking some photos earlier, I had recorded a short video. In the video, Liu Ke dumped everything from my bucket all over herself. Then, she angrily scolded me and tried to snatch my phone away.
The counselor watched the video with a furrowed brow. He looked up at Liu Ke, a hint of shock in his eyes. "Liu Ke, I really didn't expect you to do something like this."
Liu Ke's face turned pale, biting her lip as she looked like she was about to cry. The counselor waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, write a self-reflection, issue a clarification notice, and apologize to Zhao Wu."
Liu Ke bit her lip, her face ashen. "Counselor, I..."
The counselor looked at her sternly. "What? You can't do this or that? How about dropping out instead?"
Liu Ke was taken aback and quickly nodded. "Okay, I'll write it. I'll write it."
The counselor turned to me. "Zhao Wu, is this acceptable?"
I smiled slightly. "Counselor, there's one more thing I want to mention. Just now, Liu Ke not only tried to snatch my phone but also maliciously attacked me. I was frightened and would like to apply for psychological counseling."
The counselor was stunned. He glanced at me and then at Liu Ke, his brow furrowing deeper. "Liu Ke, how could you do this?"
Liu Ke was scolded thoroughly, her face drained of color. The counselor snorted coldly and turned back to me. "Zhao Wu, don't worry; I'll make arrangements for you."
I blinked at him. "Thank you, Counselor."
Liu Ke glared at me with eyes full of resentment. I raised an eyebrow and smiled at her.
Liu Ke, in your past life you took my opportunity for graduate school; in this life, I'll make sure you don't even get to attend school.
I turned to leave as I heard Gao Xiao and Shan Qingqing's voices behind me.
"Counselor, we also want to apply for a room change."
