The ice water was poured down my neck, making my lungs hurt.
"Shen Qingci, you are a waste!"
The sharp female voice penetrated my ears, and I opened my eyes suddenly and found myself lying on the wet floor. There was a circle of people standing around, pointing and laughing at me in twos and threes, with eyes like monkeys watching acrobatics.
Standing in front of her was a woman in a white dress. She had an oval face and almond-shaped eyes. She looked quite beautiful, but her expression was as if she had eaten a fly, and she did not hide her disgust. She was holding a copper basin in her hand, with water still dripping from the bottom.
I touched the water on my face, my mind was buzzing.
